Chapter 609 - 613: Encounter in Black Wind Valley_1
The trial in the front hall lasted nearly two hours, and when Qin Longyun returned to the back courtyard, his expression was not very good.
At this, Chen Yiling and Qiao Duo’er felt their hearts rise to their throats. Could there have been a mistake with the case earlier?
But the evidence was as solid as a rock!
"My husband, I have to tell you that Sister Lan has been very good to me. You mustn’t bully her—she’s a poor widow and orphan," Chen Yiling pouted as she spoke.
"I know, Tan Zhengyuan and Xiao Lingchuan trafficked people illegally and did not cooperate actively with the investigation. They’re sentenced to thirty years in prison," Qin Longyun hastily summarized the events of the front hall.
Qiao Duo’er generously praised, "Brother Qin, you’re amazing—thirty years is a long time!"
In ancient times, life expectancy was short, hence the saying "it’s rare to live past seventy." Spending thirty years in prison meant that even if one luckily got out, they would be an old man too frail to stir up trouble.
This way, Tan Zhengyuan would no longer be an obstacle to Hu’s Clan’s happiness.
