Chapter 245: Verdict, killing and destroying the heart!
Although the testimonies of Xie Yunyun and the maid Xiao Cui could not directly prove that Shen Xiangyue instigated Qin Zhongtang to kill, they did confirm that they did know each other. No matter how Shen Xiangyue denied it, it was useless. Later, regarding the fact that Shen Xiangyue personally killed the maids or girls in Tianxiang Tower, Xie Yanzhi also sent people to investigate, and collected testimonies from relevant witnesses, confirming the fact that Shen Xiangyue was responsible for multiple lives.

When the case was revealed, there was an uproar inside and outside the court. Most people did not expect that a woman who looked so weak and pitiful could be so cruel!
"bump!"

"Shen Xiangyue, what else do you have to say?"

Holding the gavel and banging it hard, Xie Yanzhi asked with a serious face.

"I, I... No, I don't want to die, please spare me, sir, I didn't mean it... Woohoo... Second Master, Second Master, please save me, I beg you..."

Facing the disgusted eyes of everyone inside and outside the court, Shen Xiangyue cried and shook her head, and tried to crawl in the direction of Wei Chengyi, but two soldiers stopped her. She could only struggle desperately, crying until her face was covered with tears and snot.

"I hereby declare that Shen Xiangyue has instigated others to commit murder and has killed many people. The evidence is solid and the crime is unforgivable. He is sentenced to be executed in the downtown area tomorrow! Although Qin Zhongtang was instigated by others, he killed the plaintiff twice. He is lawless and his crimes are heinous. He is also sentenced to be executed in the downtown area tomorrow. Take him away!"

"No···"

Ignoring her cries, Xie Yanzhi announced his verdict. After hearing the words "immediate execution", Shen Xiangyue's body trembled and her crotch became wet.

"Yes!"

The two guards bowed at the same time. Without any special instructions, the soldiers stepped forward one after another to carry up Shen Xiangyue, who was already a puddle of mud, and Qin Zhongtang, who was as dull as a fool from beginning to end.

"No, I don't want to die, I can't die, Second Master, Second Master please save me, I am your wife, you can't just ignore me, Second Master..."

As she was dragged out, Shen Xiangyue struggled fiercely again, her eyes fixed firmly on Wei Chengyi standing next to Shen Xiangwan. Why? Why did she end up with a tragic death even after she was reborn? In her previous life, when she married Wei Chengyi, he died within a few days. Why did it completely change when it came to Shen Xiangwan? She was unwilling to accept this. Shen Xiangwan was just a country girl. How could she get Wei Chengyi's wholehearted protection? How was she inferior to Shen Xiangwan?
"Wait a minute."

Wei Chengyi suddenly called out to them, facing Shen Xiangyue's tearful eyes, and flew in front of her with a tiptoe: "From the beginning to the end, my wife is only Shen Xiangwan. When I was in the imperial city, I went to the government office to get the marriage certificate for me and Wanwan. Shen Xiangyue, you are nothing!"

"No···"

What does it mean to kill someone and destroy their heart? This is it!
Shen Xiangyue simply couldn't accept that he was so cruel and struggled to pounce on him, but Wei Chengyi got there first and pressed her acupoints with his fingers, and the two soldiers holding him quickly pulled her out.

Seeing this, Xie Yunyun, who was kneeling in the hall, grinned brightly. Tomorrow she would go to the downtown area in person to see how Shen Xiangyue was beheaded. Only by seeing her head fall to the ground with her own eyes could she truly avenge herself.

"Come here, first take all the people from Tianxianglou into jail. I will investigate whether they are involved in Shen Xiangyue's murder of others before executing them."

"Yes."

The soldiers quickly took Hou Wanshan and others out. Before leaving, Xie Yunyun looked back at Shen Xiangwan, bowed to her, and thanked her for giving her the opportunity to personally testify against Shen Xiangyue and avenge herself. The latter just smiled slightly and did not take her thanks to heart. She got what she wanted.

"Plaintiff, are you satisfied with my judgment?"

After those people left, Xie Yanzhi looked at Shen Xiangwan again.

"Sir, Shen Xiangyue does deserve to die, but those who supported her behind the scenes are equally unforgivable. I hope you can see clearly."

After bowing slightly to him, Shen Xiangwan raised his head and spoke seriously.

"No, sir, I..."

"bump!"

Hearing this, Yang Huaian was about to jump out to protest his injustice, but Xie Yanzhi did not give him the chance. He slammed the gavel and said sternly: "Plaintiff, you have seen that there are still many people suing them. I have decided to try their cases clearly before making a judgment together. What do you think?" While speaking, Xie Yanzhi looked calmly at Huang Tongpan who lowered his eyes and said nothing. In Shen Xiangyue's case alone, the crimes of Huang Jingshu and Yang Huaian were not serious. At most, he would beat them with dozens of boards to set an example, which was basically meaningless. It would be better to save some time to try other cases.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

After understanding what he meant, Shen Xiangwan bowed again: "I trust you, sir. If everything is alright, we will leave first."

"Ah."

Xie Yanzhi nodded, Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi exchanged glances, and then left the court one after another. Next would be the home court of Huang Tongpan, Yang County Magistrate and others. All the arrangements had been made, and Xie Yanzhi was one of them, so they would not have a chance to escape.

"Now that we're here, let's go to the house and bring some things back."

After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Shen Xiangwan let out a breath of foul air. In total, they had spent nearly three hours.

"Don't you want to watch the rest of the trial?"

Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Wei Chengyi took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Am I crazy?"

Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, and looked past him at the dark crowd surrounding the government office. She must be stupid to continue to squeeze here to watch. Moreover, those people's demands were all different. Even if they just wanted to understand the case, it would probably take until midnight, not to mention the trials one by one. Wouldn't it be better to just listen to the guards' reports tomorrow?

"Let's go."

Wei Chengyi couldn't help but laugh and helped her get into the carriage. He was just asking casually.

"drive!"

After they entered the carriage, Yuan Yue Yuan Ying and others also jumped on the carriage one after another, and the two carriages soon disappeared around the corner.

"Boss, why don't you go say hello to Madam Wei?"

What they didn't know was that there was a carriage parked at the other corner of the street, and the person sitting inside was none other than Yue Ruyan. The madam saw her lifting the curtain and staring at the direction they left for a long time, and couldn't help but ask in confusion. She knew that the boss cared a lot about their friend Shen Xiangwan.

"inconvenient."

Shaking her head, Yue Ruyan lowered the curtains and said, "Go back."

She also wanted to say hello to Shen Xiangwan. But there were too many people here. What if someone saw her with her? How would others see her in the future? She didn't care what others thought of her, but she couldn't help but care about what others thought of Shen Xiangwan. True love is hard to find in one's life, and so is a true friend. She wanted to keep Shen Xiangwan as a friend forever.

"···yes."

Looking at the drawn curtains, the madam sighed helplessly. She didn't know whether the boss had started to care about other people, but since she met Shen Xiangwan, the boss seemed to be in a better mood, especially after she visited her in person. Perhaps this was a good thing.
