Chapter 460 A Pig, Not a Human
Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Wenzhou and asked, "Wang Wenzhou, do you know your crime?"
“Brother Zhu! What did I do wrong? Is it a crime for me to feed the dogs?” Wang Wenzhou retorted.
Hou Xun flew into a rage, wiping away his tears, and roared, "Feed the dogs! You're feeding my son's corpse to the dogs? And you're not guilty?"
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed and said helplessly, "Lord Hou, I know you're practically on your deathbed, and you might meet the King of Hell any day now, but your young son has died, and you're heartbroken. But you can't slander me! When did I ever feed your son's corpse to the dogs? Am I that kind of person?"
Hmm! You mad dog, what wouldn't you do? Not only Qian Qianyi thought so, but even Zhu Youjian felt that Wang Wenzhou was capable of doing this.
"Wang Wenzhou, stop trying to argue!" Zhu Youjian said irritably, "You're really going too far!"
"Brother Zhu, please don't be angry. You've really misunderstood me!" Wang Wenzhou said seriously, "Lord Hou, please don't be angry either. Let me finish speaking first."
"Speak! Let's see what else you want to say!" Hou Xun angrily pointed at Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly and said sarcastically, "Old Hou, you often do immoral things, you must have offended a lot of people. I really didn't steal your son's body! I'm not a poor wretch, why would I use your son's body to feed dogs?"
Wang Wenzhou patted his chest and said proudly, "The pigs I raise in my mansion are top-quality Weiyang pigs. They are fed only the finest rice and have grown up listening to folk songs since they were little. The meat of the pigs in my mansion tastes much better than your son's. If you don't believe me, just ask my dog!"
"Pfft..." Hou Xun was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Wang Wenzhou, stop talking nonsense!" Zhu Youjian couldn't stand it anymore. Wang Wenzhou, you've really gone too far. Are you trying to make Old Hou die of anger on the spot?
“Brother Zhu, what I’m saying is the truth! You don’t know this, but my daughter Gao Guilan left a will before she died, asking me to raise a dog and name it Ruru. You know, although I’m unrestrained, I can’t let go of my baby. How could I not fulfill Lanlan’s last wish?” Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile.
"Alas..." Zhu Youjian sighed. "Boxin, I know you resent Hou Xun, but he did not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty after all!"
Wang Wenzhou continued, "So, I raised a few dogs, and after they had puppies, I picked out the cutest one and named it Ruru."
"Wang Wenzhou!" Hou Xun roared in fury, shouting, "Stop spouting nonsense! Where is my son's body?"
"Lord Hou, seeing how heartbroken you are, I will let it go today. I will say it again: your son's body has nothing to do with me! I am not a grave robber, why would I dig up your son's grave? What you see in front of my mansion is not a corpse, but a pig dressed in clothes."
"I'll fight you to the death!" Hou Xun felt that Wang Wenzhou was cursing him, and pounced on Wang Wenzhou like a madman.
Wang Wenzhou kicked Hou Xun, knocking him to the ground.
Wang Wenzhou pointed at Hou Xun and cursed, "You, surnamed Hou, don't push your luck! If you don't believe me, we can ask the Emperor to send someone to bring the remains of the corpse to examine whether it's a pig or a human."
Zhu Youjian shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed that Hou Xun had fallen into Wang Wenzhou's trap today.
"Wang Chengen, send someone to bring the dregs over," Zhu Youjian ordered.
"Your Majesty, the scraps can be faked!" Qian Qianyi reminded him, "Bring over Lord Wang's dogs as well."
"Ouch!" Wang Wenzhou pointed at Qian Qianyi and said angrily, "Lord Qian, what do you mean? Did my dog bite you or rape your mother? You want to kill my dog so badly! You have to consider the owner before beating a dog!"
Qian Qianyi smiled slightly. Wang Wenzhou has been exposed, hasn't he? I knew it. You are eloquent and persuasive. Corpse remains can be faked, but human flesh eaten by dogs cannot be faked!
Qian Qianyi cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and advised, "Lord Wang, I did this to prove your innocence."
Zhu Youjian thought for a moment and then said, "Wang Chengen, have someone bring the dog over as well."
"As you command!" Wang Chengen felt some sympathy for Hou Xun; Wang Wenzhou was truly outrageous.
In no time, the men Wang Chengen sent brought the remains of the corpse and five large wolfhounds into the palace.
Zhu Youjian ordered, "Li Mu, quickly step forward and examine whether these bits of flesh and bones are human or pig."
"Yes!" Li Mu hurriedly went over to check.
Li Mu was a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, responsible for investigating major criminal cases, and he could be considered an expert in this field.
Li Mu bent down, picked up a small piece of meat, rubbed it, and then smelled it. After that, he carefully examined the remaining bones.
After the inspection, Li Mu stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, I can confirm that all the scraps of meat are from pork, and the bones are also from pork bones."
"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed loudly, "Lord Hou, you see? I told you long ago, it's a pig, not your son, but you insisted on mistaking a pig for your son. Isn't that an insult to pigs?!"
"You, you..." Hou Xun clutched his chest in anger, staggered, and almost fell over.
"Hmph!" Qian Qianyi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, as I just said, these bits of flesh and bones are easy to fake. It's not that I don't trust Lord Wang, but this matter is of great importance. Please order a dog to be killed and its contents examined..."
Before Qian Qianyi could finish speaking, Wang Wenzhou pointed at him and cursed, "You bastard, Qian! Why did you kill my dog?!"
"Stop being so rude!" Zhang Fengyi pointed at Wang Wenzhou and scolded, "Lord Wang, you dare not kill the dog, are you feeling guilty?"
"Waaaaah..." Wang Wen sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
"Pfft..." Everyone was stunned. What was going on? Wang Wenzhou, have you gone mad?
"Sigh..." Zhu Youjian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Wang Wenzhou, why are you crying? Get up and talk!"
Wang Wenzhou cried bitterly. He wiped away his tears and said aggrievedly, "Brother Zhu, you may never have owned a pet. To their owners, a pet is just as close as a family member. That old scoundrel Qian Qianyi, by wanting to kill my dog, is clearly killing my family member!"
Qian Qianyi sneered, "Wang Wenzhou, stop making excuses! You're clearly afraid of being exposed!"
"Hmph!" Wang Wenzhou snorted coldly, got up, dusted himself off, and pointed at Qian Qianyi, questioning, "Lord Qian, what if you kill the dog and find only pork inside?"
"Your Majesty! To prove Lord Wang's innocence, please order the dog to be killed and the body examined!" Qian Qianyi was certain that Wang Wenzhou's firm opposition stemmed from his guilty conscience.
“Boxin!” Zhu Youjian advised, “It’s just a dog. To prove your innocence, just kill it. After all, a dog isn’t a person.”
"No way!" Wang Wenzhou stood in front of the five wolfhounds and said resolutely, "Qian Qianyi, listen to me carefully, if you dare to kill my dogs, I'll kill your whole family!"
