Chapter 1445: Green Tea Auntie Becomes a Favorite with Her Beauty (24)

Fang Zhishan was a little annoyed, but he didn't want to hurt Dai Ke: "Ke'er, if you are willing to go back to the mansion with me, I can promise you the position of mistress."

"But if you continue to resist, I might hurt you."

Dai Ke sneered and clapped his hands. The eight hired secret guards appeared, each carrying two corpses: "Master Fang, you should worry about yourself first."

"Lord Fang broke into the Zhao residence in broad daylight and killed people and abducted women. I wonder if such a crime can get him fired."

Those dead people were all Fang Zhishan’s secret guards.

If a fight really breaks out, Fang Zhishan will not gain any benefit. Fang Zhishan was about to flee, but Dai Ke ordered: "Leave Mr. Fang here, and let him stretch his muscles."

"Yes!"

Eight secret guards surrounded Fang Zhishan.

Dai Ke ran to the gate and shouted, "Help! The Minister of War Fang Zhishan has robbed someone's wife and treated her life as worthless!"

Following Dai Ke's sorrowful cry, many people stopped at the gate of Zhao's house.

Some kind-hearted people ran towards the mansion, but when they saw the corpses on the ground, they were so frightened that they stood there in a daze.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering to watch, Fang Zhishan tried his best to seize a chance and fled in a hurry.

Looking at Fang Zhishan's fleeing back, Dai Ke pretended to wipe away tears: "Fang Zhishan treated human life as nothing. We cannot let these servants die unjustly. Please follow me to the Dali Temple and help me testify."

Seeing Dai Ke's tearful face, the people around her made assurances one after another.

"Ma'am, don't worry, we will definitely testify for you!"

"This Fang Zhishan is too arrogant. He actually dares to do such a dirty thing in broad daylight!"

"He is not worthy of being an official at all. Let's quickly expose his hypocrisy!"

Amid the crowd, the drum of Dali Temple was struck.

Dai Ke was summoned inside, and the Dali Temple official slammed the table and asked, "Who is here?"

"Your Excellency, I am the wife of Zhao Wei from the Zhao Mansion in West City."

"What are you beating the drum to complain about?"

"I am suing the Minister of War Fang Zhishan for treating my life as worthless and forcibly seizing me!"

Upon hearing Fang Zhishan's name, the Dali Temple's attitude became obviously tense, and his original relaxation turned into tension.

After all, Fang Zhishan is in a high position of power, so this case must be treated with caution. "Are there any witnesses or physical evidence?"

"Your Excellency, everyone present is a witness!"

The people in the hall reported in unison: "Sir, we all saw Fang Zhishan kill someone!"

"Yeah, we all saw it!"

"My Lord, you must severely punish this evil man!"

"Fang Zhishan is not worthy of being an official at all!"

"..."

The Dali Temple Minister was so shocked by the noise that he had a headache. He slammed the table and shouted, "Silence!"

"I am aware of this matter, but it still needs to be investigated. But don't worry, if it is true, I will give you justice."

If we follow normal procedures, Fang Zhishan should be asked to come over for questioning.

But the other party did not follow the procedure, which means that they wanted to discuss with Fang Zhishan privately first.

But if I agree to the other party, then this matter will definitely come to nothing in the end.

"Sir, why don't you summon Fang Zhishan for a face-to-face confrontation?"

"Could it be that you want to protect him?"

Everyone realized something was wrong: "That's right, why don't you arrest him and interrogate him?"

"Are you officials protecting each other and letting us ordinary people suffer injustice?"

The Dali Temple Minister had no intention of protecting Fang Zhishan. He just wanted to handle the matter carefully to avoid any misunderstanding and offending Fang Zhishan.

Hearing the officials protecting each other, the Dali Temple official wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You all misunderstood."

"Lord Fang is an important official of His Majesty. I need to report this matter to His Majesty and then make a decision. I don't want this lady to suffer an unjust grievance." "I can promise that I will give you an explanation within three days. Madam, go back and wait for the news."

Dai Ke observed the other person's expression and saw that the Dali Temple Minister showed no signs of lying. Dai Ke bowed and said, "Then I will trouble you to seek justice for me."

Coming out of the Dali Temple, Dai Ke looked worried: "Thank you all for helping me testify today, but I'm afraid this matter will be suppressed, so I'd like to trouble you all to help me pay attention to this matter."

"Madam, don't worry. We will definitely not let you suffer any injustice. If the Dali Temple doesn't give you an explanation within three days, we will come to your house and cause trouble!"

"Yes, we will definitely not let the Dali Temple live in peace when the time comes!"

Dai Ke bowed: "With your help, I feel relieved!"

Today's incident will definitely spread, and by then it will be difficult for the Dali Temple to avoid dealing with it.

Even if he cannot be convicted in the end, Fang Zhishan will certainly lose his official position.

That afternoon, the Dali Temple Minister reported the matter to the emperor.

The bony hands held a memorial in his hand, and the young emperor lowered his thick brows, his heroic features were tense, and he suppressed his anger.

"Send Fang Zhishan to the palace to see me!"

Half an hour later, Fang Zhishan walked tremblingly before the emperor.

Before he could salute, the memorial was thrown at him.

"Fang Zhishan, you didn't notice the spy in the Military Department. I assume that the spy acted carefully and you were careless."

"But the matter of the Ministry of War has only been resolved for less than two days, and you have caused such a big mess for me?"

"You're robbing a woman and treating her life as worthless. You really don't want this job anymore, right?"

Fang Zhishan knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

"I just went to the Zhao Mansion to discuss something with Mr. Zhao. I ran into Madam Dai and asked about Mr. Zhao's whereabouts. But she sent her servants to stop me and spread rumors that I was flirting with her."

"Your Majesty, I was wrongly accused in this matter. Please investigate this matter!"

Those who died were all Fang Zhishan's secret guards, but he could only say that those secret guards were servants of the Zhao family.

If the emperor knew that he kept a large number of secret guards, and if he became suspicious and conducted a thorough investigation and found out that he kept private soldiers, then he would really be doomed to death.

"You are an official, but you are on good terms with merchants in private. Do you think this is something glorious?"

"If this matter gets out, how will the people criticize you? Rumor has it that you, Fang Zhishan, colluded with officials and businessmen and accepted bribes privately. These charges are enough to get you killed twice!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I was indeed possessed by evil spirits and wanted to cooperate with Master Zhao in some business, but I did not do anything to forcefully rob a woman. Please be clear-headed, Your Majesty!"

Fang Zhishan did not deserve the death penalty because he had close contacts with businessmen and there was no solid evidence that he accepted bribes.

But once it is proven that he not only raped the woman but also killed someone, he will really face the death penalty.

The emperor looked at the Dali Temple official and said, "There is no need to investigate this matter in detail. Just announce to the public that Fang Zhishan is unworthy of his position and has committed a heinous crime. He will be exiled to the North from today."

Hearing this, Fang Zhishan shouted, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I have indeed been wronged. Your Majesty cannot make such a conclusion and let me be slandered for nothing!"

"Shut up!"

The emperor sneered, "Dai Ke has a lot of witnesses. If I don't give these people an explanation, how will they view me?"
