Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128 Utterly Heartless

"It’s all your fault!"

Upon hearing the old woman’s words, Ms. Nie grew even more agitated.

"If my husband hadn’t killed your family’s old master and his killing frenzy hadn’t become uncontrollable, how could he have killed so many people? It’s all your family’s fault, and it has nothing to do with my husband!"

As she spoke, she looked towards the magistrate standing at the entrance of the governmental office.

"Magistrate, Magistrate, if you’re going to arrest anyone, arrest their whole family. It’s because of them that my husband has become what he is today. So many people in Wan County have died because of them, not my husband."

The magistrate: "..."

The crowd: "!!!!!"

What manner of creatures are the Zeng couple, really? Their thoughts are utterly unfathomable.

To have killed so many people and still have the audacity to claim it was the victims’ fault?

"Tsk."

Lin Caisang let out a derisive laugh.

"Ms. Nie, are you trying to say it’s not your fault for poisoning those victims, but rather the victims’ fault for being too weak to withstand the poison? It’s their fault they died so easily, causing you to commit crimes?"

Upon hearing Lin Caisang’s words, everyone shook their heads, thinking there’s no reasoning in this world that would justify that.

Yet, to everyone’s surprise, Ms. Nie nodded emphatically upon hearing Lin Caisang’s words.

"Yes, exactly."

Then, turning her gaze to the magistrate,

"Magistrate, the young lady beside you is right. It’s clearly not my husband’s fault. It’s those people who were so weak that they died from just a bit of poison. If they hadn’t died, my husband wouldn’t be a criminal, right? So, it’s all those people’s fault! It’s their fault, Magistrate, you should quickly order their arrest and release us."

Hearing her words, the common people swallowed their spit in horror.

What an absurd idea! This Ms. Nie truly is Forensic Doctor Zeng’s wife, both cut from the same cloth, their minds equally terrifying. Such selfish reasoning she could utter.

Living in the same county as such people, they truly feared for when they might lose their lives at the hands of the couple.

Fortunately, the magistrate was wise today and uncovered the true nature of this couple. Otherwise, the consequences were unimaginable.

The magistrate himself looked at Ms. Nie, face full of shock.

And when he shifted his gaze from Ms. Nie and looked towards Forensic Doctor Zeng, he saw that Zeng was nodding in agreement with Ms. Nie’s words, giving an innocent look at others.

As if to imply that whatever he had done was right, regardless of how many people he killed, it was because the people were too easily killed.

Such a person, let alone staying inside the governmental office, who would dare to live in the same county as him in Wan County? Were they not afraid of dying without a complete corpse?

"Forensic Doctor Zeng, Ms. Nie, you two are heartless, having caused the death of so many innocents, yet you still do not recognize your fault, even pleading innocence before the official and the Eldest Prince—such crimes are unforgivable!"

He pointed at them with his hand and rebuked loudly.

"The official wants to..."

"Magistrate, although I, Zeng, am not highly gifted, I am nevertheless a scholar. As a magistrate, you have no right to judge me!" Forensic Doctor Zeng interrupted him, looking fearlessly at him.

"Hmph, do you think that my years of service in the Wan County court were for nothing? Even if I were guilty, you would have to first report to the Prefect and then to the capital. Only after my scholarly status is revoked can my crimes be determined."
