“Intentionally coming to commit murder”
Qin Chen furrowed his brows and coldly said, “You must be mistaken, sir. The one committing murder should be the Feng family, forcing my Young Lady to marry into their family. I am merely acting in self-defense.”
It seemed that the person in front of him was indeed a high-ranking official from the City Guard that the Leng family had summoned. Qin Chen couldn’t be bothered to say much to him.
After all, why would he simply wear a hat of crime without reason? “Ridiculous. The Feng family holds a noble status, being a prestigious family of our Da Wei Dynasty. How could they force a Commoner from the Four-Domains to marry into their family? It’s simply you people from the Four Nations trying to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, seducing the young master of the Feng family to seize their wealth. As a result, on the day of the wedding, the Feng family’s ancestor saw through your plot. You few from the Four Nations,
harbored malicious intentions and slaughtered the Feng family, seizing many of their treasures. Confess honestly.”
Geng Deyuan let out a cold laugh.
“You're right, Captain Geng. Kid, hurry up and tell me how you seduced the Feng family, leading to their discovery and ruthlessly killing their people. I’ll tell you, confessing will bring leniency, resisting will bring severity.”
One of the City Guard soldiers behind Geng shouted sternly.
Qin Chen shook his head, “I have nothing to confess. It’s still the same statement, the one committing murder is the noble Feng family. I was merely acting in self-defense, not guilty at all.”
“Impudent! Whether guilty or not is not for you to decide. Hurry and explain!” The City Guard soldier slammed the table, furious.
Qin Chen gave a cold smile, too lazy to care.
What crime can’t be fabricated?
Seeing Qin Chen not speaking, Captain Geng stood up, his expression dark: “Kid, I’ve seen many like you. This Captain doesn’t have so much time to waste with you. Whether you confess or not, the truth is the truth, no one can change it.”
After saying this, he threw a piece of paper onto the table.
“The process of your crime has been detailed by the surviving members of the Feng family, and it includes testimonies from several witnesses. Take a look, if there’s no problem, hurry and sign it. Rest assured, our City Guard will strictly follow the laws of the dynasty and handle this fairly.”
Qin Chen lowered his head to look at the testimony. After just a glance, he coldly sneered. The paper distorted the truth, claiming that You Qianxue had evil thoughts upon meeting Young Master Feng Shaofeng, deliberately seducing him to marry into the Feng family. As a result, on the wedding day, their scheme was exposed by the Feng family. Seeing their plot uncovered, they harbored malicious intentions, attacked the Feng family, cruelly killing many disciples, and stealing numerous treasures and properties from the Feng family. Their crimes were heinous.
“Nonsense!” Qin Chen coldly laughed, “This testimony is a distortion of the truth. I will not sign it.”
Captain Geng slammed his fist on the table, furiously shouting, “Qin Chen, this is the City Guard, and you cannot run wild here. Today, you either sign the testimony or you must sign it!”
“Oh, really?” Qin Chen coldly looked at him, suddenly releasing a surge of true power that crushed the testimony into dust. Then he said lightly, “I want to see how you will make me sign it now.”
Qin Chen’s demeanor and attitude enraged all the City Guard soldiers.
“What a bold kid, do you really think this Captain can’t handle you? Guan Wei, take this person to the black prison. Whenever he’s willing to sign, bring him to see me. I want to see how long he can hold out.” Geng Deyuan’s eyes were cold.
“Understood.”
Guan Wei immediately agreed, surrounding Qin Chen with several City Guard soldiers and escorting him out.
Before long, Qin Chen was brought to the black prison of the City Guard.
