Chapter 44: The County Lord Goes to Prison (2)
Lan Zhi trembled when she heard this, she would have been without a master now, no matter what happened today, her previous words would have been self-defeating.
Now she doesn't want to seek revenge on Xiao Jinxuan, she just hopes to save a small life.
"Miss, the slave is wrong, the slave and the maid are talking nonsense just now, in fact, the county lord asked me to do this, you also know that you lost her face in the Song Mansion that day, so she has been hating you, begging the young lady to spare her life."
Seeing that Qian Yingluo saw that it was not good just now, she turned around and left, and pushed everything onto her, Lan Zhi saw that the other party couldn't keep her, so she naturally refused to grit her teeth and hold on, and even found out the reason why Qian Yingluo would do this, and it was quite reasonable.
This is good, the corpse has not been checked yet, and Lan Zhi will recruit it first, everything is right and wrong, and now the truth is revealed.
But what Xiao Jinxuan is seeking today is not just the word innocence, if she is Qian Yingluo, there is no room to turn over!
I saw that she was ignoring Lan Zhi, but turned to look at the crowd, a cramped and uneasy person, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Speaking of severed fingers, I remember that the cause of today's minced meat incident was that someone found a finger inside, and coincidentally, I heard that there was also a gold ring on that finger, and the lame man over there, I was right."
As soon as she finished saying this, everyone remembered that there was still this one, thinking of the words of the king butcher, and everyone's eyes looked at the lame man, and this person was quietly retreating out of the door at this time, and he was caught right now.
Seeing that something was wrong, the lame man looked at Xiao Jinxuan's cold gaze, he hesitated, but immediately knelt on the ground.
"The fourth lady forgives the sin, the little one is willing to make the merit for the crime, to prove that what the king butcher said is true, the severed finger is indeed given to me by Miss Yazhi, and asked me to come here today to make a big deal about it, and the words of human flesh are also what she taught me, and now there are twenty taels of silver hidden in my stove, and the villain is poor, how can there be so many silver taels if it is not given by others, this is the evidence."
It's not that he is willing to confess, it's just that there is indeed a blessing engraved on his ring, even if he resists now, he will be turned out, and he will still be exposed.
First Lan Zhi, and now a lame man, adding the words of the king butcher, even if the body is not examined, Yazhi will be difficult to deny.
I saw Zhou Xianrui lowering his head, looking at Yazhi who was paralyzed on the ground, and raised his sword eyebrows.
"Yazhi is still unwilling to recruit until now, if you don't explain honestly, this king can only torture you."
Desperately closing her eyes, Yazhi bit her lips, but she didn't say a word.
She is a slave of Huai'an Houfu, her parents and brothers are on an errand in Houfu, although today's matter is planned by the masters in the back, but now she can only grit her teeth and carry it down, if she says half a word, she is afraid that the lives of her relatives will not be saved.
And Yazhi's attitude was also expected by Zhou Xianrui, and when he waved his hand, the guards on both sides dragged Yazhi down, as for what to do, needless to say.
Qian Yingluo's heart was slightly relieved, after all, Yazhi was dead, and in the end, even if she knew that she instructed her, as long as she resolutely refused to admit it, even King Rui would not dare to ask her about her guilt in this situation.
But obviously, Qian Yingluo only thought about Zhou Xianrui, but forgot that now in addition to this tiger, there is also a fox who is the same, not a vegetarian, and is staring at her prey.
I saw Xiao Jinxuan lower her head, her eyes were as cunning as a fox, fiddling with the white jade bracelet on her wrist, and said softly: "Actually, I don't believe that today's incident will be done by the county lord, but Yazhi is involved, even if she doesn't say anything, the county lord is afraid that it will be difficult to get out of it, I have a way to prove the innocence of the county lord, but I am afraid that the county lord will not do it." ”
Qian Yingluo glared at Xiao Jinxuan with squinted eyes, and wanted to refuse, but if she was like that, it would inevitably seem that she was weak-hearted.
And she was frightened by Xiao Jinxuan's slut a few words, she couldn't afford to lose this person, anyway, as long as she didn't admit it, no matter what method the other party used, she couldn't help her.
Thinking like this, Qian Yingluo immediately snorted coldly, and said arrogantly: "The county lord is not afraid of shadows, Xiao Jinxuan, what do you say, if I do it, today's matter will be counted as over, and Yazhi will also be dealt with by you, but if you dare to spread the slightest rumor that is unfavorable to the county lord afterwards, I will not give up." ”
Xiao Jinxuan looked at the other party's arrogant appearance coldly, and kept sneering in her heart.
Failed to frame others, was caught, and now he dares to bargain here, and let this county lord be arrogant, Xiao Jinxuan will see it for a while, she is still arrogant.
Thinking like this in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan didn't show anything on her face, and stretched out her finger to the broken mat rolled over there.
"County lord, this mat is rolled up is the corpse that was removed, I have heard people say, the body of a person is also sensitized after death, if it is destroyed, it will be cut off after death, according to superstition, it must be very resentful, the soul hovers around the corpse, and refuses to be reincarnated."
After Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, she noticed that Qian Yingluo's face was not good, and her eyes were also extremely flustered, obviously listening to her words.
So she paused, and then said: "It is rumored that this kind of deceased whose soul does not want to leave her body, if she sees the person who harmed her, there will inevitably be a vision, which is extremely magical. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the butcher said with a frightened face: "Fourth Miss is so right, originally I was going to carry this corpse over today, but no matter how I move it, this corpse seems to grow on the ground, but it can't be moved, but as soon as I change others, I immediately moved it, and it is really evil." ”
Xiao Jinxuan sighed and said: "This is a vision, it must be that this deceased complains that you have removed her flesh, so you are not allowed to touch her, so the county lord, as long as you personally open this mat and look at this deceased, if there is no vision, I believe that you are innocent, and my Xiao family will never mention this matter again, you see that my request is not too much." ”
When Qian Yingluo heard this, she subconsciously took a few steps back, looked at the rolled mat unnaturally, and suddenly felt that it was cold all around, and she couldn't help but shiver excitedly.
At this time, Zhou Xianrui also looked at her, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect the fourth lady to be so fearful of ghosts and gods, the county lord of Yuanning, my Great Zhou advocates Taoism, although this method is mysterious and mysterious, but it is also fair, you just come forward and give it a try." ”
Qian Yingluo's lips trembled with fright, but she couldn't refute it, if she was afraid, then she wouldn't admit herself.
But if it passed, Wang Tuhu's words made her panic again, she didn't care about the death of a person, but she was very afraid of the ghost after death.
But seeing that everyone was looking at her, Qian Yingluo gritted her teeth and had to bite the bullet.
And she didn't believe it all, the deceased could recognize the enemy, maybe this was Xiao Jinxuan deliberately scaring her, so that she could mess up.
Thinking like this, she was much more confident, squatted down, and untied the hemp rope outside the mat with trembling hands, and the corpse inside was instantly presented in front of her eyes at a glance.
Although she had been prepared in her heart, when Qian Yingluo really saw this corpse clearly, she still screamed, and immediately stood up and stayed away from this corpse.
It's not that she hasn't seen dead people, and there are not a few who have died in her hands, but the female corpse in front of her is too terrifying, and she saw that the corpse below the abdomen was all cut into white bones, and the sporadic pieces of meat hung on the bones, and a cold wind blew, and it shook a few times, Qian Yingluo retched for a while, and turned around and was about to run away.
But the moment she stood up, a violent feeling of powerlessness hit her whole body, Qian Yingluo only felt weak, and rushed straight towards the corpse.
Although her body was weak, her mind was abnormally clear, her eyes were round, and she screamed loudly, but she was still powerless to change the downward trend.
Just heard the sound of "plop", Qian Yingluo's whole person pressed on the female corpse's body, and her face was facing the female corpse's face, only half an inch away from sticking together.
This change came too quickly, who would have thought that this county lord would be fine one moment, but the next moment he would fall to the ground.
Before everyone could react, an even more terrifying change happened again.
saw Qian Yingluo pounce on the female corpse, and before she could get up screaming, the female corpse's eyes opened in an instant, and she looked directly at Qian Yingluo above.
And this is not the end, I saw that in the eyes of the female corpse, two lines of blood and tears flowed down, and after a while, they stained the mat below red, and they couldn't stop.
This strange scene can stunned the people watching around, and many people have seen such a mysterious thing for the first time in their lives.
At this time, everyone remembered Xiao Jinxuan's words before, and someone immediately shouted: "The resentful soul has confessed to the murderer, this county lord is the one who killed her, and she has recognized the murderer." ”
"Yes, look at her wide open eyes, this is death, she has a grievance."
"But it's not, this blood and tears can't be stopped, if you don't give her justice, I'm afraid I won't give up."
Zhou Xianrui frowned at this time, and said to the entourage beside him: "Don't help the county lord of Yuanning up yet." ”
When the entourage heard this, he immediately came to Qian Yingluo's side, grabbed the other party's shoulders, and dragged her up.
It is also strange to say that Qian Yingluo, who was still weak just now, immediately recovered her strength as soon as she left the side of the female corpse, and she was able to stand without being helped.
The people around him said that it was a ghost pressing down, and she was not allowed to get up just now.
Qian Yingluo is also frightened now, the look that the female corpse looked at her just now, she will never forget it in her life, that lifeless, cold, and gloomy eyes, which are the most terrible things she has ever seen.
Facing the people around her who were pointing at her, Qian Yingluo hurriedly stretched out her hand and denied it.
He said with a crying voice: "I don't, I haven't seen this corpse, if you want to find it, go to Yazhi, find my cousin of the sixth prince, don't come to me." ”
But it didn't matter if she waved her hand, she immediately had sharp eyes and noticed the abnormality on her palm.
"Look, the palms of the county lord of Yuanning are full of blood, this must be the vision of the female corpse, reminding us that the county lord with blood on his hands is the murderer who killed her."
Qian Yingluo hurriedly looked at her hands in horror, and sure enough, she saw that her palms were red, and no matter how she wiped them, she couldn't get half of them.
Qian Yingluo wailed, knelt on the ground, staring at the female corpse with her eyes, not daring to blink at all, as if if she was distracted, the female corpse would immediately pounce on her in the next moment.
Zhou Xianrui saw her like this, and a smile appeared on his lips, if Qian Yingluo could not be convicted in a case of framing minced meat, it would anger the gods and ghosts and cause public anger, and she would be in a catastrophe.
After all, as soon as the ghost and god said that even if it was royal, it was secretive, and he would kill this Qian Yingluo on the spot today, and report to the court afterwards, and no one would hold him responsible.
Even if the other party is the daughter of the princess and the concubine of the Hou Ye, would they dare to anger the gods and ghosts, regardless of the people's grievances, even if they dare, they would not agree today.
At this moment, Zhou Xianrui did kill him, if Qian Yingluo died in Yangzhou, the six princes would definitely return to Beijing, and show his uncle Huai'an in person, because he couldn't afford this responsibility.
As long as the other party leaves, Zhou Xianrui can let go of his hands and feet to investigate thoroughly, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to find out those moths in the officialdom. As long as he can sweep away corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he wants Qian Yingluo's life, in his opinion, there is nothing to do.
But just when Zhou Xianrui unsheathed the golden dragon sword on his waist slightly, a cold and plain white hand held his wrist.
Surprise flashed in his eyes, and when he looked up, the person who stopped him was Xiao Jinxuan.
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan, she stood on tiptoe close to his ear, and said in a very soft voice: "Leave Qian Yingluo's life, I still have a lot of use, if Your Highness believes me, I will be able to use her to completely abolish the six princes." ”
Zhou Xianrui's eyes narrowed, and in an instant, the murderous aura was gone, and the sword was returned to its sheath. He didn't hesitate for a moment, so he said from the bottom of his heart, believing that what Xiao Jinxuan said was definitely not a big deal.
Because the woman in front of him does have the ability to manipulate the life and death of others and play with the enemy between applause, so he can't believe it.
"Come on, take the county lord of Yuanning into custody and put him in a cell for the time being, and no one is allowed to visit the prison without me to speak. Yazhi did not need to be retried, and was immediately killed with a cane to comfort the deceased. ”
Then he glanced at Lan Zhi again, and said in a deep voice: "She is the house slave of the fourth young lady, and it is up to the young lady to decide what to do with it." ”
Xiao Jinxuan nodded lightly when she heard this, and then looked at Lan Zhi with an indifferent expression.
"On the day you were discharged from the hospital, I said that I didn't like your lying mouth, and I didn't think it would be long before you told a bigger lie, and since you couldn't control this mouth, then cut off the tongue that caused trouble, and saved yourself from causing any trouble."
When Zhou Xianrui heard this, he didn't say a word, so he asked the guards to drag Lan Zhi down and do what Xiao Jinxuan said.
Until Lan Zhi was dragged out of the yard, the other party's begging for mercy was still poignant, but it was also appropriate to shout a few more, after all, after a while, she would not want to make any noise in her life.
And Qian Yingluo will also be raised from the ground, but she holds her own noble status, so she will be willing to go to prison obediently.
"His Royal Highness King Rui, my mother is Princess Huayang, although she is not a holy sister, but in the end, it is your aunt, and I am also your cousin, King Rui, you can't treat me like this, otherwise my mother will know about it, and she will never agree."
Zhou Xianrui didn't even answer her words, waved his hand to signal the guards, and immediately pressed her down.
Royal children, cannibalism, sibling rivalry is commonplace, so what is such a cousin.
As for Princess Nanyang, if he is really taboo, then he is not Zhou Xianrui.
