Chapter 365 A loophole appears
Chen Er said angrily again, "Wang Dawei, do I have to torture you before you confess? Tell me why you gave Wang Tianya so much silver for no reason?"
Seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Chen Er could only wave his hand helplessly.
"What I mean is, does your family have so much money that you can't spend it all? If so, why don't you share it equally with the common people?" Chen Er couldn't help but sigh, and Wang Dawei was so frightened that his forehead turned cold.
Chen Er is right. Why did I give Wang Tianya so much money for no reason? Could it be that I have so much money at home that I can't spend it all?
Wang Dawei had no choice but to make up an excuse, but the excuse was full of holes and no one but a fool would believe it.
“Wang Dawei, I understand you meant well, but you can’t do that again. Doing this will only harm Lord Wang Tianya. Alright, both of you, get up. Let’s not pursue this matter any further today.”
Sun Yunhe temporarily adopted an official demeanor and made the final decision on the matter.
"Wait a minute, Lord Sun Yunhe! Can't you tell who's the host and who's the guest? You're just here to listen in on my case. What right do you have? I'm here to judge this case. Am I done with this?" Chen Er's temper flared.
It was obvious that Sun Yunhe was openly trying to protect Wang Dawei, which Chen Er was naturally unhappy about. When Sun Yunhe heard Chen Er say this, he frowned.
"Does Lord Chen Er intend to pursue this matter further? I'd like to see how you explain yourself to me. Lord Wei Zhongxian is still waiting for me at court. I will definitely report this matter truthfully then," Sun Yunhe said angrily to Chen Er.
"Come on, don't try to intimidate me with that. Others may be afraid of that old dog, but I'm not." Chen Er waved his hand impatiently, as if swatting a fly, which made Sun Yunhe's face extremely gloomy.
Good heavens! Wei Zhongxian, this once-famous high-ranking official, was incredibly influential in the court. Every civil and military official would fawn over him. Now, in Chen Er's mouth, he's been reduced to a mere old dog. How could Sun Yunhe not be furious?
"Chen Er, how dare you speak ill of Lord Wei Zhongxian! You're asking for trouble!" Before Sun Yunhe could even get angry, Zhao Beixing, who was standing to the side, began to rage.
After all, this was a good opportunity. As long as Zhao Beixing and Sun Yunhe joined forces, even if Chen Er was only a first-rank official, they would be unstoppable. Today, Chen Er would not be able to keep his first-rank official status. Chen Er was not afraid at all, but looked at Zhao Beixing indifferently.
"What? You think you can wag your tail at Wei Zhongxian now? He hasn't even thrown you a bone yet. I'm telling you, you're so old, how come you don't know any better? Is Wei Zhongxian your father?" Chen Er said very bluntly.
Zhao Beixing's expression began to contort, wishing he could snatch the weapon from the guard and kill Chen Er on the spot. However, this was just a random thought on Zhao Beixing's part.
Absolutely not. Isn't Chen Er deliberately trying to provoke me? So Zhao Beixing won't fall for it so easily.
“What a sharp-tongued official of the first rank! I’ve certainly seen it all today. Very well, I’ll linger here a little longer. I want to see how you deal with Wang Dawei,” Sun Yunhe said once more.
"Ma Dazhi, have the people I asked you to find arrived yet? They have witnesses now, and so do we." After Chen Er finished speaking, he looked at Wang Dawei.
“Wang Dawei deliberately killed someone, and now he still refuses to admit it. What crime is this? Wait a minute, when you see the witnesses I found, let’s see how you still try to argue. Ma Dazhi, bring the person up here. Today I want to see what kind of excuse these scumbags have to give me!” Chen Er shouted again.
"My lord, please be patient. The person you requested will be here soon. I have gone to great lengths to find him, and I assure you that he will be here to your satisfaction." Ma Dazhi said, then waved his hand.
The crowd immediately parted to make way for a beggar, who walked in, leaving everyone completely bewildered.
"Chen Er, what exactly does this mean? How can you conduct a case here? Why did you arrest a beggar? Chen Er, do you think things aren't chaotic enough? You just grab a beggar and use him as a witness? Have you lost your mind? How did you become a first-rank official?" Sun Yunhe immediately unleashed his fury.
Moreover, Sun Yunhe couldn't help but pinch his nose when he smelled the stench emanating from the beggar, because it was so foul that he almost vomited.
"Wow, it stinks! Has this guy not taken a bath in a year?" Wang Dawei couldn't help but mutter, keeping a distance from the old beggar.
Disgusted by the old beggar's smell, the old beggar smiled at Wang Dawei: "Young Master Wang, you're complaining now that I don't smell, but you won't say that later." After the beggar finished speaking, Wang Dawei had a bad feeling.
Wang Dawei felt like he'd seen the beggar's face somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.
"Who are you below the stage? Introduce yourself. With me here, speak the truth and no one will threaten your life," Chen Er said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, my name is Zhang San. I am a wanderer in this area. In order to make a living, I have no choice but to beg along the way. However, a few days ago, I saw a scene I should not have seen and heard something I should not have heard."
As soon as Zhang San finished speaking, the atmosphere in the courtroom became slightly strange. It was obvious that Zhang San's words were quite significant.
"Since such a thing has happened, then you must tell me what you heard or saw. Is it perhaps related to this case?" Chen Er asked, feigning surprise.
The old beggar laughed: "I saw Wang Dawei harassing Wang Xuelian, a respectable woman, with my own eyes that day. Because of Wang Xuelian's husband, she pushed Wang Dawei a few times. This young master of the Wang family, relying on his numbers, beat Wang Xuelian's husband to death. I was sitting in a corner picking up trash that day, so these people didn't see me."
"Moreover, I also heard Wang Dawei threatening Wang Xuelian, saying that he was extremely wealthy and had the support of the Eastern Depot. He said that even if Wang Xuelian complained to the Heavenly King, he wouldn't be afraid. At that time, I was a little suspicious and wondered whose child this was."
