After being forced to leave the marriage, I became the wife of a top scholar.

Chapter 183 They really dared to do it! (Part 3)

What? Death squads? The Fang family actually keeps death squads!

Pan Hu's appearance made even Lord Hai frown; he felt that he had been tricked by the Fang family this time.

Things are starting to go in an increasingly unpredictable direction.

Magistrate Han's expression also turned serious. He looked at Pan Hu and asked, "Then tell me, did you attempt to assassinate Wei Qian?"

"Pan Hu! Are you out of your mind?!" Master Fang angrily pointed at Pan Hu and cursed, fearing that he would say something terrible. If the higher-ups found out, the Fang family would be finished.

And it's not just over, they might even be wiped out as a whole family.

Pan Hu looked at Master Fang expressionlessly, just as he had when he was a bodyguard for the Fang family, and calmly said, "Master Fang, I am a bodyguard, how could I possibly survive?"

Mr. Fang froze, unable to refute.

However, the matter of the assassins was too complicated, and he could not expose it before the Prince of Huai.

At this moment, Master Fang bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes bulging, looking completely ruthless.

Ignoring the murderous look on Master Fang's face, Magistrate Han continued, "Pan Hu, answer the question from before."

Pan Hu clasped his hands in a fist salute, about to speak, when he saw Master Fang kneel down in front of Lord Han with a thud.

"My lord, there's no need for further interrogation. The Fang family will accept these charges."

Magistrate Han frowned in surprise and turned his gaze to Pan Hu below the hall.

The person who could make Master Fang confess directly must be no ordinary assassin; more precisely, the assassin's background must be extraordinary.

Magistrate Han raised his eyebrows. "Master Fang, which crime do you admit to? Explain yourself clearly!"

Hai Daren rolled his eyes at Magistrate Han. He was now truly regretting not having noticed Han Chang, this hothead, beforehand.

However, he also had to blame the Fang family, because he only now realized how rampant they were in Huaizhou City.

It's best not to implicate him now.

Master Fang knelt on the ground, covered in sweat, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Honor, I admit it all, I admit it all!"

"It was me. I was jealous that the Centennial Medical Center was taking away business from our Fang Family Medical Center, so I kidnapped Doctor Wang's family and forced him to switch the Centennial Medical Center's Atractylodes macrocephala."

"It was me. Because I coveted the beauty of Wei Man Niang, I ruined Man Niang's marriage and forced her to marry into my Fang family as a concubine. Later, I plotted to assassinate Wei Qian. It was me, it was all me."

"Pan Hu claims to be a suicide soldier, but he's not. He was just a servant in my Fang family before."

"They obey my orders, that's all."

With great difficulty, Master Fang took the blame for all the crimes mentioned earlier.

This left Doctor Wang, who was also in the hall, speechless with shock. He had just admitted it?
Magistrate Han looked at Pan Hu sternly, "He said you are not a suicide soldier, do you have any rebuttal?"

"Have!"

Master Fang nearly jumped up upon hearing the word "Pan Hu."

"Don't push your luck! Do you know what you're doing right now?"

"A death squad? Where would our Fang family get a death squad? You're just a servant, a servant!"

When Master Fang got excited, he ran over to try and cover Pan Hu's mouth, but Pan Hu dodged him.

The bailiffs in the hall rushed forward and subdued the madman, Master Fang.

"Quiet down!" Magistrate Han slammed his gavel again, and only then did Master Fang slowly calm down.

He stared intently at Pan Hu, his eyes seemingly warning him that he wanted him to acknowledge his identity, and he had already done so. If things really came to a head, then no one would have an easy time.

Pan Hu pretended not to see it and was about to speak when he heard another loud shout from outside the door.

"My lord! This humble citizen wishes to file a complaint!"

"Your Honor! This humble citizen also wishes to file a lawsuit!"

Master Fang suddenly turned around and spotted his old acquaintances, the Ning and Liang families, in the crowd.

What's going on? Why are these people here too?!
Is it because they saw the tiger's scar that any hyena would dare to come up and bite it?

The old man's expression changed from panic to anger, and he turned his head to glare fiercely at Pan Hu.

It was him; it was because of him that the Fang family suffered such a huge setback.

Magistrate Han had people brought to the courtroom from the Ning and Liang families.

Both the Ning and Liang families had made a do-or-die decision before they arrived.

They had imagined the consequences of falsely accusing the Fang family many times, but what they didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived, they heard the Fang family admit to framing and assassination.

Have the Fang family gone mad?
Especially Mr. Liang, who was initially hesitant about his decision, now walked with much lighter steps.

"And who is this person below the hall!" Magistrate Han was secretly overjoyed.

He was truly shocked that he had only given a slight push, yet so many people dared to come forward and identify the Fang family.

The woman from the Ning family stepped forward first, saying, "Your Excellency, I am Liu from the Ning family."

"Today we are suing the Fang Family Medical Clinic for disregarding human life."

Liu's voice was strong and clear, but the hatred she felt for the Fang family was impossible to hide.

Liu presented the evidence of the Fang family's crimes that she had collected one by one.

"Please understand, sir."

Magistrate Han looked at the evidence handed over by the officials: proof that the Fang family clinic had prescribed the wrong medicine, and witness testimony that Master Ning had been refused entry by the Fang family clinic.

Each and every incident was described in detail.

"And what about you!" Magistrate Han looked up at Master Liang.

"Your Honor, I am Liang Rui." After saying this, Master Liang bowed slightly and took out a stack of contracts from his robes.

These contracts are the original transaction agreements between Liang Rui and the Fang family. They clearly state when and where the Liang family sold which plots of land and estates to the Fang family, and the price was always one tael.

Can such a large piece of land be bought for one or two taels of silver?

Now even Magistrate Han didn't need to ask to understand what was going on.

What are you suing the Fang family for?

"My lord, I accuse the Fang family of tyrannically seizing my Liang family's private property."

Master Fang was nearly driven mad, but could he deny it? Looking at the menacing Pan Hu, Master Fang felt that he had been completely outmaneuvered this time.

"Mr. Fang, do you accept the lawsuit filed by these two men?"

Mr. Fang struggled to get up; at that moment, he wished he could just faint.

"Oh, he's fainted!" Before Master Fang could even speak, his body slumped to the ground. Magistrate Han quickly stood up. "Someone, fetch a doctor to see what's wrong with Master Fang!"

At this moment, Doctor Wang stepped forward and said, "Sir, may I examine Master Fang?"

Magistrate Han exclaimed urgently, "Look! Look!"

Doctor Wang walked up to Master Fang and grabbed his wrist.

His pulse was strong and powerful; he was simply faking fainting. Doctor Wang took out a silver needle from his pocket and inserted it directly into Master Fang's acupoint, which was causing his pain.

Old Master Fang could no longer keep up the act and began to struggle and howl.

"What's wrong! What happened?!" Master Fang asked, wailing.

Magistrate Han kindly asked the question again.

This time, the Fang family was truly cornered. "We admit it! We admit it!"

After Master Fang admitted his guilt once again, the onlookers were completely unleashed, and everyone who had a grudge against the Fang family filed a complaint.

Mr. Fang had no choice but to accept them all one by one.

The clerk wrote down a thick stack of evidence of the Fang family's crimes, which made Lord Hai feel extremely uncomfortable and unable to bear reading it.

The Fang family is finished! The Fang family is completely finished.

Magistrate Han presented all the charges to Master Fang for signature.

Mr. Fang's eyes were already red-rimmed, but he still signed the indictment in the end.

He took all the blame for the Fang family's crimes.

Magistrate Han sent men to confiscate the Fang family's property and imprison Master Fang.

The onlookers were overjoyed and cheered incessantly, "Evil will be punished! Evil will be punished!"

"The magistrate is wise! The magistrate is wise!"

After dealing with Master Fang, Magistrate Han looked at the people below him.

The Liang and Ning families are victims and have nothing to do with punishment! But what about Doctor Wang and this Pan Hu?
"Dr. Wang, although you were threatened, you still did something wrong. Are you willing to admit it?"

At this moment, Doctor Wang was already filled with excitement. The Fang family! The Fang family had fallen. What did this mean? It meant that there would never be a single dominant medical clinic in Huaizhou City again.

These doctors now have a way to make a living.

"This humble citizen is willing to accept it!"

Magistrate Han nodded slightly. "Since that's the case, considering that you were threatened and surrendered yourself, your employer will decide your punishment."

"Are you convinced?"

Dr. Wang hadn't expected this outcome, but it was the best result for him.

"This humble subject is convinced! This humble subject is convinced!" Doctor Wang immediately knelt on the ground to express his gratitude.

Madam Wang, who was watching from outside the yamen, burst into tears upon seeing that her master was unharmed. "It's all thanks to the master! Thank you so much, master!"

Lady Wang felt relieved, but Fengniang was still nervously watching the courtroom.

At this moment, Magistrate Han also looked at Pan Hu.

Is he a suicide squad member? If so, this man probably won't leave the county government office alive.

"Pan Hu, I'll ask you one more time. Master Fang said you're not a suicide squad member. Do you have any rebuttal?"

Pan Hu raised his head and continued, "Yes!"

"you say!"

"Although I am not a suicide soldier, in Master Fang's eyes, we servants are no different from suicide soldiers."

"Master Fang ordered us to assassinate Wei Qian and intercept the medicinal herbs."

“We refused, but Master Fang threatened us that disobedient servants would be sold off, sold to the mines! Sold to the Northern Dynasty.”

"May I ask you, sir, what is the difference between us and the assassins? We are not in control of our own lives. Please see this clearly, sir."

Magistrate Han's expression changed; he was merely giving this young man a way out.

He actually spoke with such fervor, hahaha! Good lad.

"Since you are also being coerced, why not do the same as Doctor Wang?"

"Wei Qian, how do you intend to punish this man?"

Wei Qian was stunned. He was still thinking about what he had done to send Master Fang to prison. Now that he had come to his senses, he said happily, "We are all unfortunate people, sir. I will not pursue the responsibility of this righteous man."

Magistrate Han slammed his gavel, and the case was closed.

Everyone walked out of the government office safely, and the people clapped and cheered for them.

Hai Da was so angry that he could only turn and leave, thinking, "Useless! Truly useless."
