I was switched at birth after transmigrating into a book, but I used my superpowers to wreak havoc!

Chapter 196 Severing Ties, the Bai Family

Because of Xie Ying's thoughts, Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao's eyes involuntarily fell on Old Madam Xie.

What Mrs. Xie wore today was a set of kingfisher feather headdress inlaid with rubies, sapphires, pearls and corals. The colors were very bright and the shape was exquisite and gorgeous.

Xie Xiu remembered that this was his mother's favorite jewelry. She usually didn't want to wear it and always kept it carefully.

But now, it was worn so openly on Mrs. Xie's head.

There were shrill screams coming from outside from time to time, but they still couldn't reduce the strong hatred that was boiling in Xie Xiu's heart.

But this is far from enough.

Yingying is right. Next, we must make our mother break off relations with Xie Yunyi, completely sever ties with these people, and take back our mother’s dowry and the Luo family’s embezzled property!

Xie Xiu winked at Luo Hongwang.

Luo Hongwang immediately said, "Sir, although Chen Fang admitted it, she was the one who made the decision on her own and hired someone to kill my cousin and his family.

But not only were my cousin's entire family murdered, but their belongings were also looted. Chen Fang, the vicious woman, did not reveal the whereabouts of the belongings. I suspect she deliberately hid them away!

After Caomin's cousin died, Xie Yun relied on his power to forcibly seize Caomin's cousin's shop, land and tea garden, claiming that they were for safekeeping for Xiu'er and You'er.

"I beg Your Excellency to intervene and order Chen Fang to reveal the whereabouts of the missing property, and to order Xie Yun to return my cousin's property. And to force my poor niece to renounce him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yun retorted excitedly: "Luo Hongwang, you and my father-in-law are not close, so the things my father-in-law left behind should naturally belong to Xiu'er and You'er.

Back then, I only kept it for them because the children were still young. I was not happy with your exorbitant asking price and your attempt to seize the property that my father-in-law had worked so hard to earn.

But you kept pestering me, forcing me to give you a share of the estate left by my father-in-law. I never thought you would be so greedy that you've been holding a grudge just because you weren't able to seize all of my father-in-law's estate.

Now, in order to seize those things, you even want Sheng Niang to break up with me! Sheng Niang is my original wife, we are a loving couple, why do you make the decision for her and make her break up with me? "

Luo Hongwang glared at Xie Yun mockingly, his eyes full of contempt: "Xie Yun, have you forgotten so quickly how you killed Sheng Niang?

Don’t think that just because Chen Fang took the blame for you and took all the sins on herself, you can shamelessly continue to pretend to be an innocent and good person!

Ask these people present, who would think you are innocent? Just because Sheng Niang died because of you, you are not worthy of continuing to be her husband and letting her continue to be buried in your Xie family's ancestral tomb!"

After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Minister Zhou and continued, "Please, sir, do something for my poor niece! Sever her relationship with Xie Yunyi! I can also move her grave so she can be buried with the parents who gave birth to her and raised her."

At the end of his speech, he couldn't help but choke up and sob, which was very moving.

Minister Zhou glanced at Xie Yun indifferently, and quickly agreed to Luo Hongwang's request, ordering Luo Sheng and Xie Yun to break up.

Xie Yun was naturally unwilling. He rejected her with discontent: "Minister Zhou, Luo and I have been married since we were young and have two children. It's inappropriate for you to sentence me to an end of my relationship with her, isn't it?"

Minister Zhou looked at him coldly: "If Xie Xueshi is not convinced, we can investigate this case slowly.

Although many years have passed and many key witnesses have disappeared, if we investigate carefully, we might still find some key clues, don't you think?

Xie Yun's heart trembled, and he immediately lowered his eyes, not daring to refute again.

Minister Zhou had someone write a letter of severance, and after it was stamped, the matter was set in stone and could not be changed.

He also asked Chen Fang to reveal the whereabouts of the Luo family's property.

Chen Fang said expressionlessly, "All the valuables were looted by the murderers. They took everything, divided the loot among themselves, and then fled. They didn't hand it over to me, and I don't know where they went. How can I explain the whereabouts of those things?"

Minister Zhou also interrogated her wet nurse, Madam Zhao. At first, Madam Zhao also said that she knew nothing, but after she was put in the tongs, she immediately gave away Chen Fang's maternal family, the Bai family.

Minister Zhou immediately ordered people to arrest the Bai family, put Chen Fang in a tug-of-war and continued to interrogate him.

It was Chen Fang’s first time to be put in the clamps. The pain was so severe that her fingers felt as if they were being crushed. How could she, who had lived a pampered life, endure it?

So she quickly confessed that she had used her cousin from the Bai family to help her deal with the Luo family's affairs.

Xie Ying didn't expect that the Bai family would be involved in this.

No wonder she could let Bai Yuzhu marry Xie You. The Bai family had such a relationship with her that they naturally didn't dare to resist.

Soon, Chen Fang's cousin Bai Guangyao was brought over.

In fact, he had heard the news that Chen Fang and Bai Yuzhu were brought to the Ministry of Justice a long time ago, so he was packing up at home and preparing to run away.

When the bailiffs found him, he tried to escape, but not only did he fail to do so, he was also hit several times.

Unfortunately, when he was brought here, Bai Yuzhu and others had already finished their caning and were imprisoned.

Although Xu Maochun was to be punished with 200 strokes of the cane, Minister Zhou did not dare to have him beaten to death, so he only received 30 strokes this time and was taken away.

When Bai Guangyao arrived, he only saw benches placed outside the ceremonial gate and bloodstains on the ground.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he heard people around him whispering -

"Who is this person? Why was he brought here?"

"I know him. His last name is Bai. He should be related to that whore from the Bai family!"

"Huh? Could it be that the whore is his daughter?"

"Tsk, what a pity he came too late and didn't see that whore being spanked with a stick just now."

Bai Guangyao was so angry that his face turned ashen and he clenched his fists in anger.

The bailiff who was escorting him noticed the tension in his body and immediately hit him to warn him not to act recklessly.

Bai Guangyao was escorted to the lobby, and then a yamen runner kicked him hard in the knee, and he immediately knelt down.

The yamen runners cautiously used water and fire sticks to hold him down to prevent him from suddenly attacking and hurting others.

Minister Zhou asked coldly, "Ms. Chen confessed that you helped her hire someone to kill Luo Hongde and his family. Do you plead guilty?"

Bai Guangyao shuddered all over and subconsciously tried to make excuses for himself.

Unexpectedly, before he could even open his mouth, Minister Zhou ordered someone to beat him with twenty boards.

Bai Guangyao has lived a life of luxury these years, with fine clothes and delicious food, gorgeous clothes and beautiful concubines. He has already made himself delicate and fit, with a belly full of fat.

How can I bear such suffering?

After receiving just one blow of the stick, he screamed in pain and confessed his guilt without hesitation, even exaggerating his accusation: "Sir, I know that this is unscrupulous, but I was forced to do it!

My Lord, you don't know that my cousin is a terrible and vicious woman! If I dare not listen to her and help her get rid of the Luo family, she will kill me!

"Wuwuwu, I really don't want to do this. Ever since I helped her do that thing, I've been having nightmares all these years and suffering. I'm so miserable!"

Unfortunately, Minister Zhou was already used to such dramas, so how could he believe it?

"It seems you still refuse to behave yourself. Keep fighting!"
