"Zhang Yang, are you still claiming that you didn't kill the Wang family of thirteen?"

In the courtroom, a stern official suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"This is a false accusation, sir! My wife clearly witnessed Chang Wei committing the murder and came to report it to the authorities. She was perfectly fine yesterday, how did she suddenly become the murderer today?" A handsome man in plain clothes knelt on the ground, pleading bitterly, feeling indescribably distressed.

Standing beside the Zhang Ran couple was a man dressed in luxurious clothing, holding a folding fan, looking disdainfully at the Zhang Ran couple.

Let's start from yesterday.

Yesterday, at the time of the dog hour, Zhang Ran's wife happened to pass by the Wang family's house. The front door was slightly ajar, and screams could be heard from inside. Out of curiosity, she peered through the crack and saw Azure Sun City's wealthy man's son, Chang Wei, crazily killing people inside. He even kicked a large black dog to death.

She was frightened on the spot and didn't go back to tell Zhang Ran. Instead, she hurriedly went to the yamen to report the case. Everything was fine yesterday, and the yamen had already detained Chang Wei. But who knew that a new official from the Prefectural Government would come today and declare that the case needed to be retried.

As a result, Zhang Ran's wife, Yang Huanyu, became the murderer. This scene was obviously a miscarriage of justice involving collusion between officials and merchants, which was extremely shocking.

At this moment, Zhang Ran felt extremely distressed. He was originally a modern laborer who died suddenly and transmigrated to this world, being reborn from his mother's womb. He grew up in Azure Sun City and had heard that there were immortals in this world.

After coming here, he started digging around every day, hoping to encounter some adventures, but nothing happened. He would shout for the system everywhere, but it was useless.

In the end, he accepted his fate. He was just a cannon fodder, coming to this world only to increase the population.

Apart from being handsome, he had no other merits.

Later, after his parents died, he finally learned a small skill and married a beautiful young girl, Yang Huanyu, through a matchmaker's introduction in Azure Sun City. He thought it would be good to live like this. In his previous life, he couldn't afford to marry a wife, but in this life, he married a beautiful girl. It was not a bad deal.

But just when his wife was about to give birth, this incident happened. Now, that new official framed the murderer of the thirteen members of the Wang family on his wife, Yang Huanyu.

This made him feel extremely devastated and self-blaming.

Why didn't he go to pick up his wife yesterday? Otherwise, he would have definitely stopped this foolish woman from meddling.

"Pa!"

The official sitting high above suddenly slammed the table and angrily shouted, "Zhang Ran, you said your wife is an eyewitness, alright, last night, the night watchman, Lai Fu, also saw it, bring Lai Fu here!"

In no time, a thin man, trembling, was brought forward.

"Lai Fu, tell us what you saw last night," the official in the courtroom continued to slam the table and reprimand.

Lai Fu was so frightened by this shout that he immediately knelt down on the ground and tremblingly said, "L-last night, I was on night duty when I suddenly heard the sound of a dog barking from the Wang family's house. I went closer to take a look and saw Zhang Ran's wife chasing after Chang Wei with a knife."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran angrily shouted, "Fuck, Lai Fu, you..."

Zhang Ran angrily rushed towards Lai Fu, but was immediately stopped by the soldiers.

At this moment, the official asked, "Chang Wei, is this true?"

Chang Wei shyly responded, "Sir, it is indeed true. Yesterday, I saw Yang Huanyu using poison to kill the thirteen members of the Wang family. When she saw me, she even tried to silence me with a knife."

Upon hearing this, Yang Huanyu, with her belly protruding, cried and shouted, "Sir, it was clearly Chang Wei who killed the thirteen members of the Wang family!"

Chang Wei pretended to be weak and said, "What are you saying? I am just a scholar, I don't know any martial arts. How could I have killed the thirteen members of the Wang family?"

"Hehe, that's how it happened. Alright, Zhang Yang, you're falsely accusing others and framing Chang Wei. We will use torture on her. In a week's time, she will be executed at noon," the official announced with a smile.

As two soldiers brought out the instruments of torture, Zhang Ran roared in madness, wanting to save his wife, but he was held down by four or five people. He shouted in despair, feeling powerless.

"Zhang Ran, if you cause any more trouble, you will be punished as well."

Suddenly, before Yang Huanyu could be subjected to the punishment, she cried out in pain and fell to the ground, "Oh, I'm giving birth, my husband, I'm giving birth!"

Seeing this, several soldiers couldn't bear it in their hearts. They had long been unable to watch this anymore, so they stopped their actions.

"Zhang Yang, stop pretending and proceed with the punishment," the official continued to reprimand.

This is the reality, where is there a Grand Secretary or a Governor-General who would re-examine the case.

The people behind the hall were in an uproar, each one speaking out for her.

"Sir, Yang Huanyu is someone I've watched grow up. How could she possibly commit murder? Let her give birth to the child first."

"Yes, let her give birth to the child."

"Where is the rule of law? Where is public morality? Let her give birth to the child."

The people behind were very impulsive, and the officials couldn't stop them. In fact, these officials were eager to speak up for Yang Huanyu.

"Sir, let her give birth."

Seeing that no one was speaking up from the crowd below, they became increasingly radical.

Some even crossed the threshold and rushed forward.

"Let her give birth, let her give birth."

"Let her give birth."

"Let her give birth."

The officials couldn't help but join in the clamor, "Let her give birth."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, with the potential for rebellion if this woman wasn't allowed to give birth, the corrupt official didn't dare to provoke the anger of the crowd and had to compromise.

"Alright, alright, get a midwife and let her give birth. After she gives birth, we'll proceed with the punishment." The corrupt official had no choice but to compromise for the time being.

When Yang Huanyu was taken away to give birth, the sound of a baby crying came. Zhang Ran felt a little joy in his heart, but it was quickly overshadowed by grief.

Suddenly, there was a ding.

[Host, congratulations on successfully giving birth to a child. Activating the Let Her Give Birth system.]

The voice was very clear, and Zhang Ran was certain it wasn't an illusion.

"A system? I finally have a system. I've been waiting for eighteen years, eighteen years."

With a system, he could definitely solve the current predicament. Sure enough, the voice of the system sounded again.

[Host, activating the system. Rewarding the Newbie Gift Pack.]

[Rewarding the host with Pseudo Spirit Root.]

[Rewarding the host with the basic cultivation technique, Longevity Art.]

[Rewarding the host with ten years of cultivation, ten years of cultivation experience.]

His cultivation instantly reached the Qi Refining stage. After all, having a Pseudo Spirit Root was already quite good for reaching the Qi Refining stage.

[Rewarding the host with the basic Five Elements spells.]

(Dao techniques are divided into nine levels, from the first level to the highest ninth level.)

A series of rewards made Zhang Ran ecstatic, and he also had the basic formulas in his mind, such as Fireball Technique, Earth Arrow Technique, and Little Cloud Rain Decision, and so on.

Just at that moment, his wife Yang Huanyu was brought over, holding their child.

When several officials were about to put shackles on Yang Huanyu again, Zhang Ran instantly appeared by her side, his spiritual power shook, and the officials were sent flying.

There was an immediate outcry from the surrounding people.

"Zhang Ran, you dare to act so boldly, take him down!" the corrupt official shouted angrily.

On the side, Chang Wei's pupils contracted as he exclaimed in his heart, "This is the speed of an Innate expert, it's impossible!"
