Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: Powerless to Seek Justice and Turn the Tables (1)

The fat man and his companions, who spread rumors, were charged with defamation and sent to the government for trial. Jingzhao Yin thus tried them for the crime of defamation. However, the fat man and others adamantly claimed they were instructed by others, refusing to confess to having slandered Lord Wei Yuan House.

Jingzhao Yin ordered for torture to be prepared, and the accused remained consistent in their story, still adhering to their original statements. They not only recounted in detail the locations and process by which they were instructed by the person behind the scenes but also, to enhance the credibility, they reenacted the scenario in front of everyone, vividly presenting the words, expressions, and gestures of the mastermind, leaving the onlookers with little doubt of their truthfulness.

According to the accused, the person who had instructed them was merely a minor manager in Lord Wei Yuan House, but this manager worked at a rouge shop under Lady Wei from Lord Wei Yuan House. Needless to say, everyone could easily guess who the real mastermind was.

Jingzhao Yin, truly The Fair and Upright God who stands for the people, immediately dispatched his men with lightning speed to Lady Wei’s rouge shop and apprehended the manager in question, bringing him to the court for a confrontation with the rumor-mongers.

The manager, having been frightened by Xiao Ruiyuan’s men the previous night, no longer dared to protect the person behind the scenes with a hard mouth. Thus, following the instructions given to him the previous night, he feigned stubbornness until Jingzhao Yin was about to apply severe torture. Then, as if out of fear, he divulged everything he knew, including what Lord Wei Yuan had said about "expelling that evil offspring from the clan, and bringing back Qing’er to take over the position of Princely Heir."

Once this testimony was given, no one doubted its veracity anymore, and the onlookers were utterly shocked by Xiao Xiong’s actions. It was not unheard of for a parent to dislike their own child for one reason or another, but it was rare for parents to be so vicious that they not only wanted to take everything from their son but also to expel him from the clan.

This was the War God in their hearts, yet to be treated so by his own birth father, how cruel, how unfair! No wonder their War God had to enter the battlefield at such a young age, fighting for his life against enemies amid blades and swords—all of this was forced upon him!

Otherwise, without the protection of the Old Marquis, how could a young child plot to survive amidst the encirclement of predatory relatives?

At this moment, people truly pitied the man who was like a War God, no, he was not a War God, but a common man torn to shreds by his closest kin!

Their War God had protected the countless citizens of Great Chu, yet their War God suffered such bloody harm from his closest relatives. Poor War God, for the sake of preserving the reputation of the Hou Mansion, had no choice but to send the rumor-spreaders to the government, hoping to use the government’s power to quell the rumors, while he alone bore all the grievances and wounds.

How could those people bear to harm such a pure and filial War God?

"A tiger doesn’t eat its offspring, but that vicious woman is one thing, how could Lord Wei Yuan be so vicious and plot against General Xiao in every possible way? No, this matter cannot end like this. Even if that is General Xiao’s own father, he should not treat General Xiao in such a manner. General Xiao is Great Chu’s War God, he belongs to all of us; one cannot allow Lord Wei Yuan to act as a father and come after General Xiao!" A middle-aged man in the crowd spoke up, filled with righteous indignation, his eyes red with anger.

"That’s right, General Xiao is Great Chu’s, he belongs to every citizen of Great Chu, we can’t let Lord Wei Yuan bully him at will, we must stand up and seek justice for General Xiao. Who is willing to join me in going to Lord Wei Yuan House?"

No sooner had he spoken than people stood up to echo his call: "I will go, count me in! Without General Xiao, where would we have gotten these years of peaceful days? If Lord Wei Yuan harms General Xiao like this, he’s trying to destroy the pillar of Great Chu, we definitely cannot let him succeed!"
