Chapter 1731 He Deserves to Die
After reading the man's biography, Yin Yunting felt a surge of anger that he couldn't suppress.
Moreover, after that person did good deeds and died, he was supposed to be reincarnated and become a righteous and virtuous person again. In his next life, he would have continued to do good deeds and saved many more people.
After Duan Fan took away her life, this opportunity was also eliminated.
Therefore, Duan Fan's sins were enormous.
He actually thought he hadn't been involved in any deaths?
"For what you have done, this judge should sentence you to death. First, go and soak in a cauldron of boiling oil for ten years."
"No!"
Duan Fan was already terrified of death, and now that he heard the judge was going to take his life and make him boil in oil, he was scared out of his wits.
"Your Honor! That man was destined to die! I didn't kill him with my own hands! I didn't do anything wrong, he died on his own, it has nothing to do with me!"
Duan Fan's face turned pale, and he screamed in a trembling voice.
"If he were to die like that, it would be a wasted death. I've only borrowed a bit of his life force; I can live on thanks to him!"
"But that short-lived wretch of his was never going to live past twenty-five anyway, and I couldn't even borrow a few years of his life!"
"For the sake of my life these past few years, I have to be boiled in oil! Why should I? Your Honor, you must give me justice!"
Yin Yunting sneered upon hearing his words.
"He died of his own accord? He was supposed to live to be almost twenty-five, how could he die prematurely? What did you do that you've forgotten?"
He didn't know exactly what Duan Fan and his apprentice had done, since the Book of Life and Death couldn't possibly be that detailed.
However, he can see the other person's fate.
That kind man was supposed to live to be nearly twenty-five, so it's impossible for him to die suddenly for no reason. Someone must have interfered with his fate.
Duan Fan was unaware that Yin Yunting was bluffing him; he thought Yin Yunting really knew.
He went limp and sat down on the ground.
He didn't do it himself, but that day, he deliberately provoked a group of thugs, lured them to the young man's house, and then, in the chaos and confusion, the young man was accidentally killed.
He later deliberately let the thugs go.
Because he didn't know that those people would just die like that, and once they were caught and beheaded, it would be as if the young man's revenge had been taken by the authorities, and his soul wouldn't be able to function properly.
His master told him those things, but he didn't know the specifics of why or how to do them.
But he simply followed his master's orders.
This was done very discreetly. His master was very capable, and later, with his master's help, he found an excuse and used his family's influence to erase all traces of the matter.
Moreover, that happened in Nanzhao, and it was several years ago.
Duan Fan is confident that even the Prince of Jin won't be able to find out.
But why does Yin Yunting know so much about this now?
This was so shocking to Duan Fan that he had no choice but to believe that the person in front of him was indeed the Judge of the Underworld.
Because no one but him could possibly know these things.
Duan Fan's mental preparation was completely shattered. His mind was in chaos, and his heart was filled with fear.
Frog Brother saw that the once handsome and talented top scholar was now trembling like a mouse about to freeze to death.
He was also deeply moved.
Your Honor is truly amazing; you know all this.
"You used evil magic to steal other people's lives, and now it's time to pay the price. As long as I, the judge, take back the lives you took, you will die immediately. Moreover, you also tried to use evil magic to frame the Yao family's daughter and murder the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Both the human world and the underworld have committed crimes. If the human world cannot punish you, I, the judge, will settle accounts with you as well."
Yin Yunting picked up the judge's pen, as if to make a mark on the Book of Life and Death.
"Your Honor, spare my life!"
Duan Fan cried out in fear, "I, I didn't mean to harm Yao Yutong. It was my master. My master saw her when she went to Nanzhao and said that she was a rare Yin body, suitable for raising grape ghosts!"
"Your master?" Yin Yunting said, "This judge has encountered you. You came to the Prince of Jin's mansion to commit this evil. It's not too late to deal with you first."
"No, no, no!" Duan Fan was really scared at this moment. He was so panicked that he couldn't think straight. He just wanted to quickly shift most of the blame onto his master and others to save himself first.
Anyway, their master is in Nanzhao, not in the capital of Dazhou, so they probably won't be able to find him for the time being, right?
"I'm not the mastermind behind all this in the capital. I'm just here to keep an eye on the Yang family. The one behind it all is Du Fen, the scholar Du! It's him! He's my uncle, a descendant of a former official, and a staunch supporter of the previous dynasty! He's the one who sent me to the Prince of Jin's residence!"
Yin Yunting's eyes flickered.
Du Fen? Du Juren?
Duan Fan immediately revealed the sins of the previous dynasty hidden in the capital.
They had never heard of this person before.
The fact that he was only a scholar who passed the imperial examination shows that he was very good at hiding his true abilities.
If it weren't for Duan Fan, they might have had a very hard time finding such a person.
He gave Frog Bro a wink.
Frog understood and immediately floated away.
As soon as they went outside, they saw the retired emperor coming this way.
"Your Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, you've returned?"
"Little frog, where are you going?" the Emperor Emeritus asked.
"The judge is currently interrogating Duan Fan, and he's uncovered something serious. I need to go report to the Prince first," Frog Brother said quickly.
The Emperor Emeritus's expression hardened. "Duan Fan?!"
His son, the emperor, personally selected him as the top scholar.
"Is this person a serious problem?" the retired emperor asked.
“It’s huge!” Frog Brother nodded vigorously.
The retired emperor was furious when he heard this, "I knew that fool had bad judgment! He appointed some idiot as the top scholar!"
"Go tell A-Yue, I'll go listen!" The Emperor Emeritus waved his hand and quickly disappeared into the West Courtyard.
Frog Brother found Zhou Shiyue and told him everything that had been uncovered during the interrogation.
"Du Fen?"
Zhou Shiyue also found the name unfamiliar.
"Qingxiao," he called out.
Qingxiao immediately understood, "Your Highness, I will have someone investigate this person immediately."
He took immediate action.
If this person is truly the mastermind behind it all, he would definitely be keeping a close eye on the movements of the Prince of Jin's residence today.
If Duan Fan doesn't go out, the other party might become wary; we can't let him escape.
Zhou Shiyue said to Frog Brother, "Go and help Junior Brother Yin again."
"Yes."
After Frog Brother left, Zhou Shiyue got up and walked towards the woodshed.
Lu Zhaoling went to see Jin Xi, and it's unclear whether she found out anything from her.
He also needs to discuss Duan Fan's situation with Lu Zhaoling.
As he approached the woodshed, he heard a loud wailing sound.
It sounds like it's that Kim Hee. She was crying so miserably.
Zhou Shiyue paused for a moment and saw Aoki standing guard outside.
"What happened? Did the princess hit someone?"
Otherwise, why would she be crying so miserably?
Aoki shook his head. "The princess didn't do anything; she just said a few words."
