Chapter 537: Chapter 539: Falling Out_1

Madam Zhi merely glanced at Jian Rong dismissively, then said calmly, "Sir, I do not know him."

"Jian Rong, do you recognize this Li woman?" Song Cheng asked.

"Yes, sir, it was this Madam Zhi who ordered me to kill Li Yiguang and silence him," Jian Rong, who had confessed as soon as he was brought back, is now with his wounds dressed, nowhere near daring to retract his statement.

He thought he had become a top assassin, but he hadn’t expected his martial arts skills to be so easily defeated by Ye Ge.

Madam Zhi showed remarkable mental resilience: "Sir, he is slandering me, accusing me without evidence. Do you believe I hired a killer based solely on his word? Huh, if everyone makes such unfounded accusations, there would be no end to the injustices in this world!"

Song Cheng rapped the interrogatory hammer again: "Summon——Wan Fengzhen."

Wan Fengzhen was captured by Chen Niannian. She didn’t have Madam Zhi’s strong mental tenacity. Just seeing Chen Niannian in his official uniform made her knees weak.

Now that Wan Fengzhen was present, seeing Nan Feng and Madam Zhi kneeling in the public hall, as well as a wounded man next to them, she suddenly understood a lot and immediately knelt before Song Cheng.

Before Song Cheng could question her, Wan Fengzhen confessed of her own accord: "I, ordinary citizen Wan Fengzhen, am innocent. I only took part in framing Nan Feng. Everything else, the poisoning in the box, the hiring of a murderer, were all orchestrated by Madam Zhi herself. It has nothing to do with me!"

"Wan Fengzhen, you..." Madam Zhi glared fiercely at Wan Fengzhen.

Wan Fengzhen didn’t dare to meet Madam Zhi’s gaze and moved to the side when she saw Madam Zhi looking as if she was about to pounce. Accidentally, she ended up next to Nan Feng. Seeing the cold look in Nan Feng’s eyes, she could do nothing but look down.

Then, the loud sound of Song Cheng’s interrogatory hammer echoed again, instantly restoring the solemn silence below.

"Madam Wan, please confess to your every involvement," Song Cheng commanded.

"Very well!" Wan Fengzhen then recounted the incidents in full detail.

She had met Madam Zhi last year and quickly gained her strong support because of her knack for socializing. But Wan Fengzhen had always been troubled by Nan Feng, a young girl who she always felt was pressuring her, and who seemed to be quickly surpassing her. Consequently, she regarded Nan Feng as a thorn in her side.

After the New Year, when she heard that Nan Feng was also opening a shop in the Provincial City, she shared this information with Madam Zhi. Due to her long-standing practice of catching adulterers, Madam Zhi knew many thugs and knew where to hire them, so she decided to intervene on Wan Fengzhen’s behalf and intercept Nan Feng’s goods, but this plan failed.

Later, Madam Zhi inexplicably picked a quarrel with Nan Feng and also began to regard her as a thorn in her side. In order to drive Nan Feng out of the Provincial City, she bought the fiercely gambling Li Yiguang, paid off his gambling debts, and then had him sprinkle a poisonous liquid in Nan Feng’s boxes. The poison would dry without being noticed, and given that Nan Feng only checked the medicinal ingredients, she wouldn’t consider the boxes, making this plan highly secret.

Moreover, few people recognized Cangsong, this kind of red fruit, as most don’t know about this wild fruit. She didn’t expect it would eventually be discovered. In order not to be exposed, Madam Zhi planned to silence Li Yiguang. After all, Li Yiguang was nothing more than a worthless gambler; his death would make no difference.

When Wan Fengzhen finished talking, Madam Zhi could no longer hold back, she immediately lunged towards Wan Fengzhen and began wrestling with her.
