435: Chapter 435: Three Blazes, Shaking the Heavens 435: Chapter 435: Three Blazes, Shaking the Heavens Chang Baosheng’s statement indeed sparked intense debate and uproar.
A person who had been hit by a car and suffered severe injuries, breaking sixteen bones, how could they possibly fully recover in less than half a night?
Do they really think real life is a TV drama?
Even TV dramas aren’t that far-fetched.
Such an occurrence, when mentioned, would hardly be believed by anyone.
However, since the Yang County Magistrate had not spoken, others were even less likely to step forward and make rash comments at this moment.
Offending the Chang Family if things weren’t handled properly would be bad news.
“If you have nothing to disclose, then how are we supposed to believe you?
Not to mention my disbelief, why don’t you ask around to see who would believe what you’re saying?
Could it be that you’re saying an ‘Immortal’ saved you?
What a joke,” Ma Tian said.
Chang Baosheng shook his head and replied, “Not an Immortal, but the Divine Doctor.
Your disbelief doesn’t mean others won’t believe.
What you think is impossible might not truly be impossible.
The world is vast and full of wonders, how much do you really know?
Merely a drop in the ocean.”
Ma Tian sneered, “I don’t want to argue about this matter with you; it’s pointless.
The truth is evident to all.
Still, the same old saying: speak with evidence, otherwise please don’t pin this thing on me.
I, Ma Tian, won’t stand for such an injustice.
Even in front of the Yang County Magistrate and your Chang Family’s mayor, I stand by my words—if you want to claim I’m behind this, fine, show the evidence to everyone.”
Chang Baosheng sneered back, looking at Ma Tian, “You want evidence, do you?
I knew you wouldn’t easily admit it, but do you think I am foolish?
Without solid evidence, would I stand here and accuse you?
I can’t afford to lose face like that.”
Seeing Chang Baosheng’s confident demeanor, Ma Tian and Fei Yangzhi frowned deeply, their hearts tinged with worry—had something gone wrong with this matter?
Impossible, they thought, as they had been so careful, how could anything have gone wrong?
Tangyu sent a message, and before long, Xu Hu brought several people over, a total of six.
Two were the ones who drove the car that hit Chang Baosheng the night before last, three were the assassins hired to kill Tangyu with guns that day to frame Wei Yaoye, and one was Ma Tian’s confidant.
These affairs were all arranged by Ma Tian’s confidant.
Although the whole affair was a joint effort by Ma Tian and Fei Yangzhi, the people were mainly from Ma Tian’s side.
Seeing these six persons, Ma Tian’s complexion changed drastically, turning somewhat pale.
He hadn’t expected that the people he had arranged would all be captured by that Tangyu, and he had not had the slightest inkling.
Moreover, just before coming here, he was still with his confidant, and now to be captured so soon after, it was obvious it had just happened.
Otherwise, he would have noticed it much earlier.
Ma Tian’s face soon covered over his shock, and he clenched his teeth in secret, a resolute look flashing through his eyes.
Chang Baosheng pointed at the six men and declared, “These two people are the ones who drove into me that day.
They’ve already confessed that it was your confidant, nicknamed ‘Brother Bao,’ who ordered them to do it and gave them a sum of money.
These three are also hitmen arranged by your confidant, Brother Bao, to ambush my brother Tangyu, intending to frame Wei Yaoye.
All six of them have confessed.
Ma Tian, what else do you have to say?
You conspired with Fei Yangzhi with the goal of provoking a major conflict between our Chang Family and the Wei Family, so that you could reap the benefits as the bystander, am I wrong?”
“Humph, now whatever you say goes.
These five people, I simply do not know them, and while Brother Bao is indeed my man, he has obviously betrayed me.
I was completely unaware of this matter.
How could it not be possible that he was bought off by someone else to frame and set me up?” Ma Tian continued to argue and refused to admit guilt.
“Still trying to deny it?” Chang Baosheng angrily said.
“It’s not about denying; how can I admit to something I never did?
Is this your so-called evidence?
What evidence do you have to prove that I ordered Brother Bao to do these things?
Is it not possible that he was bought off by someone else to frame and trap me?” Ma Tian said.
“Humph.” A cold sneer rang out, and Wei Yaoye walked over with a sinister smile, arriving beside Chang Baosheng, looking at Ma Tian, “So you’re framing and blaming me, and now you’re reversing the accusation saying others are framing and trapping you?
I really don’t understand, if the confession of your most trusted confidant can’t be taken as evidence, then what exactly would you consider evidence?
If you’re a man, have the guts to own up to your actions.
Can you still call yourself a man?”
“Hmph, Wei Yaoye, I regarded you as a brother, only to find you speaking about me like this,” Ma Tian said angrily.
Wei Yaoye’s cold laugh became more sinister, “Brother?
You, Ma Tian, have the nerve to say you thought of me as a brother?
You framed and blamed me, wanting to instigate a major fight between me and Chang Baosheng, thereby leading to a conflict between our Wei Family and the Chang Family.
Is this your idea of treating me as a brother?
Don’t act like I don’t know the things you’ve been doing behind the scenes—in fact, I’ve known for a long time that it was you two scheming, your motives have been clear to me.
These past few days, I’ve just been biding my time, not exposing you.”
Ma Tian and Fei Yangzhi were once again startled—Wei Yaoye had known about their plans all along?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
“You don’t believe it?” Wei Yaoye looked at Ma Tian with a sinister smile and clapped his hands.
A glamorous young woman walked out—it was none other than Ma Tian’s most doted on plaything.
Seeing this woman, Ma Tian’s expression changed drastically once more, turning quite ugly.
He finally understood why Wei Yaoye had known about his and Fei Yangzhi’s plans all along—it turned out there was a spy by his side.
What a move indeed; the woman he had doted on for a year was actually one of Wei Yaoye’s people.
How infuriating.
“You didn’t expect her to be my person, did you?
I know all about your dealings.
Your plans with Fei Yangzhi, and your plans with that young master Ming, I’ve known all along.
Now, what else do you have to say?” Wei Yaoye said.
Ma Tian looked dark and grim, his attempts to argue already seeming powerless.
“Hmph, well done, Wei Yaoye, you truly have good tactics,” Ma Tian said grimly.
“To think you had planted a spy by my side so early, you’re ruthless, Wei Yaoye.
So you knew about this matter all along, these past few days have been nothing but an act, a fine show indeed.” Ma Tian said with a cold face, and Fei Yangzhi’s expression was also one of complete despair; the matter was fully exposed, and it seemed there would be no good end to it today.
The people from the Ma Family and the Fei Family also wore dark expressions, looking gloomy.
Wei Yaoye nodded to Chang Baosheng and Tangyu before withdrawing.
“County Magistrate Yang, I want to accuse Ma Tian and Fei Yangzhi of defying the heavens and the law, of being so bitterly ruthless they wanted to take mine and Tangyu’s lives,” Chang Baosheng said to Yang Tianqiang.
“If we weren’t lucky, we would probably have already died at their hands.
Therefore, I would like to ask the County Magistrate Yang to uphold justice for me.”
Upon hearing Chang Baosheng’s words, the people from the Ma Family and the Fei Family were so angry they were gnashing their teeth, nearly spitting blood out of sheer frustration.
Chang Baosheng was stirring up trouble like casting stones at birds.
Bringing up such a matter on such an important day clearly aimed to drag the Ma Family and the Fei Family down with him.
This event would certainly impact both families to some extent.
Yang Tianqiang looked solemn, his gaze sweeping over Ma Tian and Fei Yangzhi, causing both men to shudder as they met his sharp eyes.
“Hmph, you two really have the audacity,” Yang Tianqiang said, “such disregard for the law, brazenly committing assault, and even brandishing guns.
You clearly scorn the law.
I will not tolerate such behavior.
Chief Luo, take these men back to the station, set up a special case team, conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, and deal with it according to the law.” Yang Tianqiang declared, and his pronouncement to deal with it according to the law was clearly a death sentence.
The people from the Ma Family and the Fei Family clenched their fists in the shadow, seething with rage, helpless nonetheless.
“Yes, County Magistrate Yang, I will certainly investigate this matter thoroughly,” Luo Fuchun replied with a smile, immediately summoning men to take Ma Tian and Fei Yangzhi away.
The matter involving Ma Tian and Fei Yangzhi dealt a heavy blow to the Ma Family and the Fei Family.
Should the case indeed be handled according to the law, it was clear that at the very least, Ma Tian and Fei Yangzhi would spend a decade or more in prison.
Moreover, with County Magistrate Yang having given the command, it was futile for the Ma Family and the Fei Family to seek connections elsewhere.
If Ma Tian and Fei Yangzhi could not be saved, the third generation of both families would be essentially devastated.
This event finally brought things to light, with the truth laid bare.
Following Cai Long, two more powerful entities were struck a heavy blow, making everyone’s hearts tremble.
Some even speculated that County Magistrate Yang had orchestrated this from the start; otherwise, why would Chang Baosheng bring this up at this particular time?
And with the County Magistrate standing firmly by his side, it all seemed suspicious.
The first fire had taken down Cai Long, and now the second one had burnt Ma Tian and Fei Yangzhi of the Linwu’s Four Young Masters into the police station.
These two fires had truly shaken everyone’s hearts.
Indeed, Tangyu had alerted Yang Tianqiang from the beginning, or else this couldn’t have gone so smoothly.
Yang Tianqiang spoke again, “Unpleasant things will always occur.
In the face of such situations, I, Yang, have only one principle: never indulge them.
Anyone within my jurisdiction must respect the law and abide by it.
Anyone who dares to act out of line will inevitably be punished by the law.
Fairness, integrity, and serving the people are the three tenets of my governance of Linwu County.
As long as everyone cooperates well, I believe our Linwu County’s future will be brighter, and our lives better.”
Yang Tianqiang smiled, a friendly warmth emanating from him, but when serious, he was also intimidating, commanding a mixture of respect and fear.
“Heh, let’s not dwell on serious talks for now.
Today, let’s all relax, eat, drink, and be merry.
Feel free to share any ideas or suggestions with me; your support is what I need most,” Yang Tianqiang continued with a smile.
With the speech concluded and the matters addressed, the banquet officially began.
These three fires today, indeed, have shaken the heavens.
The new official’s three fires, Yang Tianqiang’s fires, undeniably revealed True Fire.
In a very short period, he established his authority.
After today, it is clear that a rectification campaign is inevitable; how many officials will be affected is hard to say.
Tonight, the biggest winner was clearly the Chang Family.
Thus, besides toasting to County Magistrate Yang and a few other dignitaries, the guests also toasted to the Chang Family.
Meanwhile, the Ma Family and the Fei Family were completely left out in the cold, no one paid them any heed.
Those who were originally close to the two families did not dare associate with them closely today, for fear of offending the Chang Family.
The Wei Family wasn’t significantly affected, but their limelight was far less than that of the Chang Family.
Tonight marks the beginning of a new chapter for Linwu County.
