Chapter 345
Lady Changguo thought he needed time to accept it, so she didn't interfere; Marquis Changguo had been in close contact with Western Qi recently and had no time to care about Chu Tianming.
As for Chu Tianming's wife, Wei Yunluo, she wouldn't care about him at all; she'd rather stay far away from him and never have to deal with him again.
As a result, without anyone keeping an eye on him, Chu Tianming actually caused such a huge mess!
Has he gone mad?!
Marquis Changguo had a splitting headache. He first went to the Ministry of Justice prison to see Chu Tianming, only to find that he really seemed to have gone mad.
The once arrogant and noble young master now lay sprawled on the hard floor of the prison cell, his hair disheveled, his face dirty, and his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, like two dull and murky dead fish eyes.
Marquis Changguo was shocked by what he saw.
But as before, he immediately launched into a furious tirade.
"Chu Tianming! What's wrong with you! Look at the state you're in!"
Chu Tianming's eyes flickered, and he slowly and sluggishly turned toward the Duke of Changguo, as if he didn't recognize him at all, nor did he care who he was.
Then suddenly, he burst into maniacal laughter.
"What do I look like? I'll never be someone you'd like, so I'll become whatever I want to be!"
Marquis Changguo was so angry that he was practically fuming. He pointed at him with trembling fingers, unable to even finish his curses.
"You... I think you've really gone mad! Do you even know what you've done? Setting fire to the street, that's a capital offense! And you still dare to laugh! What's so funny!... How could my Chu family have produced such a useless descendant like you! You're good for nothing and only cause trouble!"
Chu Tianming didn't care at all: "That's right! I'm just a good-for-nothing! Just pretend you never had a good-for-nothing son like me. Whether I live or die is none of your business. Go back and pray that Shen Jingyang will be your son in your next life!"
Marquis Changguo almost fainted from a sudden loss of breath.
With Shen Jingyang as a comparison, he had indeed always felt that his son Chu Tianming was not good enough, and he had always used Shen Jingyang's standards to judge Chu Tianming.
But Chu Tianming's current state made him not only angry but also secretly terrified, so he dared not continue cursing.
Marquis Changguo originally wanted to discuss with Chu Tianming how to make his arson charge less serious, and ideally, get him out of there first.
However, Chu Tianming seemed to have given up all hope and didn't care about his crime at all. It was as if he wouldn't care even if he were dragged out and beheaded right now.
Marquis Changguo talked to Chu Tianming for a long time, but found that he could not communicate with him at all. He was angry, anxious and worried like never before, but he had no way to deal with Chu Tianming and was at a loss.
At this point, visiting hours ended, and Marquis Changguo had no choice but to leave the prison cell in a state of panic.
The Chu family tried every means to interfere in the case, but the parties involved were completely uncooperative. Chu Tianming clearly confessed to his crime: he wanted to murder Shen Jingyang, and he didn't care how many streets were burned down or how many people were injured or killed.
With such a swift confession, even ten members of the Chu family couldn't get him out of trouble.
The verdict was handed down quickly. Chu Tianming was guilty of arson and murder, and although no actual injuries or losses were caused, he was spared the death penalty. However, according to the laws of Beiyi, he would be exiled for life.
