章節 1032: Chapter 1032: Powerless to Seek Justice and Turn the Tables (1)

The fat man and his companions, who spread rumors, were charged with defamation and sent to the government for trial. Jingzhao Yin thus tried them for the crime of defamation. However, the fat man and others adamantly claimed they were instructed by others, refusing to confess to having slandered Lord Wei Yuan House.

Jingzhao Yin ordered for torture to be prepared, and the accused remained consistent in their story, still adhering to their original statements. They not only recounted in detail the locations and process by which they were instructed by the person behind the scenes but also, to enhance the credibility, they reenacted the scenario in front of everyone, vividly presenting the words, expressions, and gestures of the mastermind, leaving the onlookers with little doubt of their truthfulness.
