Chapter 1628: Chapter 1627: Confirming the Charges
However, at this time, General Ding said, "To convict my Ding Family, at least there must be solid evidence. I believe the individuals involved in this matter should be brought to the scene for proper examination. Only in this way can we convince the public. What do you think?"
"You’re right. In this case, General Wang of the Wang Family, the steward of the Wang Family, and the key figures involved, Master Fang, will all be present. My people have already gone separate ways to invite them."
Upon hearing this,
General Ding’s heart was startled, realizing that this guy intended to target him. After all, he had been searching for Master Fang the entire time, and he clearly knew where Master Fang was, or else where would he go to invite him?
Yet, General Ding had now learned his lesson and wouldn’t tear his face with him on the spot. Instead, he lightly smiled and said, "It’s indeed fortunate to have Overseer Jiang leading the Orderer team on our main planet."
"General Ding is too kind. Please come with us?"
General Ding Zhen’s face slightly changed.
He had no choice but to wave his hand and follow Overseer Jiang away.
Simultaneously, others had to disperse immediately. Who would dare resist a team of hundreds of Orderers? Moreover, publicly resisting would be a grave offense.
Meanwhile,
The news that General Ding was captured immediately spread to the Wang Family.
Madam Wang of the Wang Family also died because of Master Fang.
So as soon as General Wang heard Master Fang would be attending, he was so furious that he slammed the table.
"What exactly is Overseer Jiang doing? Is he unable to discern right from wrong?"
"General, Overseer Jiang also said he invited you to come along."
"He sure has guts. Even if he didn’t invite me, I would definitely go and see. This so-called Master Fang, the doctor, who caused the death of my wife, I must make him pay."
The death of Madam Wang was a tremendous blow to the Wang Family.
Wang Duo was also despondent, often wishing for death. Unfortunately, the Divine Race highly valued him, and suicide was illegal, not permitted.
Thus, the Wang Family inevitably had to attend.
After all, this involved Madam Wang’s matter.
The Wang Family was immersed in sorrow. If they couldn’t find a way to vent, the coming days would be unimaginable. This incident provided them a breakthrough.
Consequently, General Wang began to instruct his subordinates to head for the Orderer’s office led by Overseer Jiang.
...
By afternoon,
Not only the Wang Family but also the Cui Family sent a few stewards.
Then there were the Liu Family and other major families.
After all, this matter was too widespread. Those major families only sent representatives to listen, not truly participate directly. Whenever such incidents arose, everyone sent people to listen on-site out of tradition. The simple aim was to judge if the Orderer’s case was genuinely impartial or if slander might be involved, to prevent their interests from being eroded.
...
About two hours later,
The office hall where the Executor was located was already filled with people.
Representatives from various families occupied different corners.
The involved individuals all appeared at the front, being specially monitored by the Orderers, and were not allowed to move freely.
Weapons were equipped to prevent possible disturbances.
Soon,
The numbers gathered in full.
Overseer Jiang held various items in his hand, his gaze sweeping over all present.
Finally, it settled on General Ding Zhen of the Ding Family.
"I am grateful for everyone’s presence, and I appreciate your cooperation with my work. Today, before all of you, we will clear up all matters and clarify the sequence of events. We will neither wrong a good person nor let a bad one go."
"How easy it sounds, but until now, where is that Master Fang?" General Ding Zhen was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Please be patient."
Overseer Jiang raised his hand, "To prevent false accusations and pursuit by major families, Master Fang hid far away, so it takes some time to arrive."
He glanced at the time, indicating it was almost due.
The major families exchanged glances.
They were all waiting for that Master Fang.
"If Master Fang does not appear today, this matter cannot be explained."
"Don’t worry, Master Fang will surely come!"
As soon as the words were spoken,
Outside the door, two people walked slowly in.
The ones entering were none other than Fang Yu and Ye Wenjun.
The moment Fang Yu appeared, everyone exclaimed.
He was truly bold.
Daring to show up in such circumstances, it showed incredible courage. The death of a young Divine Race was involved; how would he settle this? It also meant offending the major families in the main city, making his future road difficult.
Yet, Fang Yu walked gracefully, with a calm demeanor, entering the hall.
Seeing everyone present,
He couldn’t help but smile.
"Everyone’s here."
Upholding impartiality, Overseer Jiang moved forward and said, "Master Fang, please have a seat. Rest assured, in this place no one dares to act rashly. My people are all present and absolutely follow my orders. Anyone daring to act against the Orderer is resisting the entire Divine Race, the entire leadership."
His words weren’t alarmist. Who didn’t know Overseer Jiang and the Orderers were lapdogs of the upper echelons?
"Master Fang, General Ding of the Ding Family says you killed his son. Do you have anything to say?"
"I killed him."
Fang Yu candidly admitted.
Upon hearing this, General Ding Zhen almost reacted physically, clenching his fists, but nearby weapons immediately aimed at him.
Fang Yu continued, "I killed Ding Haotian, that is true. However, Ding Hao initially intended to kill me. I was forced to retaliate."
"Forced to retaliate?"
"Overseer Jiang, you have the authority to retrieve all street surveillance. If you doubt it, you can play all the surveillance footage."
Overseer Jiang already had the surveillance footage and mentioned it when inviting Ding Zhen.
He waved his hand and had the footage played.
Like screening a film, the images were played frame by frame.
All the footage displayed particularly clearly.
At the end, when they saw Ding Haotian’s appearance over the forested outskirts, everyone’s eyes widened.
However, the voices were not very audible.
After viewing,
General Ding Zhen’s expression nearly twisted. Previously, he hadn’t quite believed it. But under such circumstances, where all families saw this scene, he had to believe.
Why would his son harbor murder intent? Didn’t he know murdering a doctor was a grave sin?
"The footage shown, the physical evidence is almost sufficient. General Ding, do you have any comments on this?"
"Just relying on a piece of footage to confirm my son wanted to murder a doctor? That’s probably inappropriate, right?"
"That’s why we need testimony. I am an Orderer, isn’t what I say credible? I assure everyone present, this is what I witnessed. If there is any falsehood, I’m willing to accept any harsh punishment from the law."
The scene erupted.
Orderers couldn’t falsify testimonies.
Because the consequences were extremely severe. There was no reason to defend a doctor by taking such a huge risk.
Just then,
The Wang Family’s steward stood up, "The footage merely shows Ding’s son trying to kill, but no one knows the specific situation below the forest. I could also say I want to kill General Ding, would that also be considered true?"
