Xing Tao listened to Jia Zheng's words and cast an angry glance at him, wondering why this man was suddenly changing sides, wasn't he afraid of being sought out for revenge?
Conscience struck, Jia Zheng avoided his gaze, unable to risk his future.
"My lords, who really forced the deceased to the point they smashed their own forehead and beat themselves until their face was swollen?"
The commoners at the door started talking as soon as these words were heard.
"What an evil creature, forcing his own mother to apologize, her face swollen and bruised, but he himself is unscathed!"
"This man is incredibly bold, he even dare to falsely accuse Marquis Shengping and the Lord of Rui'an County! He must have a death wish!"
"That woman was too cruel and cowardly, blocking them and demanding they apologize when she didn't know their identities, then hitting herself and even smashing her own forehead after she found out!"
