Lin Haoran saw that the beating was almost over, and then shouted to stop the cane punishment.

Xu Yuanji's ass was beaten to the point that his skin was open, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for Lin Haoran in his heart, but at this time he also became honest. After all, he is just a prisoner of Nanjing Guozijian, and now that Lin Haoran ignores his proud family background, he naturally has no arrogant capital.

Lin Haoran can be afraid of Xu Jie, but he does not include Xu Zhi, the Qing of Nanjing Dali Temple, let alone Xu Zhi's son. After seeing Xu Yuanji honestly, he turned his head to look at Qilan who was kneeling in the hall and asked her to continue.

Li Gongzi turned his head to look at Qilan next to him, but he had the experience of Chen Gongzi and Xu Yuanji, how could he dare to threaten Qilan again, but he could only watch her silently.

Qilan was indeed taken aback by Xu Yuanji's identity just now, but seeing that Lin Haoran was so strong, her hanging heart gently relaxed, and she continued to speak: "The three of them took Xiaoxiao downstairs, and it didn't take long for me to vaguely hear Xiaoxiao's pleading, and then there was the sound of falling water!" I had the courage to peek through the window on the second floor, the three of them were all standing on the Jiuqu Bridge, and Chen Xiaoxiao had already fallen into the water and was shouting for help! ”

Ay......

When Xu Yi heard this confession, he immediately sighed in his heart, and looked up at Lin Haoran with complicated eyes.

Chen Xiaoxiao's lie that she accidentally fell into the water has been exposed, and now the point is very obvious, and Xu Yuanji and the other three are all seriously suspicious. At this point, not only Li Yu and Chen Xian were involved, but also his teacher and Xu Zhi were not spared.

It's just that he wasn't sure of Lin Haoran's true intentions and wanted to end this matter like this.

"And then?" Lin Haoran didn't pay attention to the reactions of the others, and continued to ask quietly.

Qilan's body suddenly trembled slightly, already recalling the scene that happened that night, and looked very frightened and bowed her head and replied, "I don't dare to take a closer look!" ”

"You were only sure that someone pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the lotus pond that night, but you didn't see with your own eyes who pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the lotus pond, but so?" Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, and he stared at Qilan with some disappointment and asked.

Qilan nodded lightly with tears in her eyes, and replied with certainty: "Exactly! ”

As soon as these words came out, the truth had already taken another step forward, and the murderer must be among the three sons.

"Who could it be?"

"I look at Chen Gongzi, he usually does a lot of bad things!"

"If you judge so, all three of them are murderers!"

……

After listening to Qilan's testimony, the people and scholars in the hall couldn't help but start talking, but they were guessing who was the real culprit, or the three sons and brothers were all the culprits.

Xu Yi is mixed, the good news is that Qilan is not a direct eyewitness, and the worry is that the matter really involves Xu Yuanji, and even Xu Yuanji may be a murderer.

Li Yu looked at his son silently, but his heart was mixed.

Because this is the only seedling of his Li family, he has been doting on him in every way since he was a child, even if his son is not good at studying, he is not too demanding, and he is bent on seeking official status for his son in the future.

But I never expected that my son would become so lawless that he would be involved in this homicide case. It would be good if he could keep covering it, but the matter has been revealed, even if his son is not the murderer, he is also the father who is also responsible.

Lin Haoran failed to lock the murderer through Qilan, so he looked at Yang Gongzi and the others and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to recruit truthfully, or do you want to continue to quibble?" Don't say that Benchin will not give you a chance to confess and be lenient! For your deliberate concealment and cover-up, Ben Chin can convict you of harboring and put them all in prison! ”

As soon as these words came out, coupled with the official authority exuded by Lin Haoran, a son-in-law brother couldn't bear it immediately.

"Cover-up? I...... Aren't we close to each other? Conductor Yang's son whispered.

Yu Changqing was standing next to him, and immediately snorted coldly: "You and the three of them are not related, how can you come from to hide from each other, you really don't know how to learn!" ”

Lin Haoran's eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Gongzi, as if he was planning to torture him at any time.

When Yang Gongzi saw Lin Haoran's sharp gaze, he was so frightened that his soul was gone, and he even said with a sigh of relief: "I said!" I say! ”

Xu Yuanji and Chen Gongzi were crawling on the ground, and Li Gongzi's mouth was slightly open, and he wanted to stop him. Just watched what happened to the two people on the ground, and finally didn't choose to exit.

"Lord Qiqi Qincha, what Miss Qilan said is true, Chen Xiaoxiao was indeed pushed down!" Yang Gongzi stopped quibbling and said honestly.

Lin Haoran's face did not change, and he glanced at the scribe who was in charge of recording next to him, and then continued to ask: "You said that Chen Xiaoxiao was pushed down, do you have any credentials?" ”

"I was closer to the window, and I heard her begging for mercy first, saying that she was not able to pass through water, and then there was the sound of water, so the person must have been pushed down!" Yang Gongzi reasoned honestly.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he heard Chen Xiaoxiao claim that he was not waterproof, and then the sound of falling water came, which undoubtedly confirmed that someone forcibly pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the water, which is indeed very consistent with general logic.

But at this time, Wang Gongzi said in a stumbling voice: "I ...... I! ”

"Say!" When Lin Haoran saw his reaction, he immediately shouted and scolded.

Wang Gongzi glanced at the side with complicated eyes, and said honestly: "Chen Gongzi and Li Gongzi seem to have made a bet, and the bet is ...... It's Chen Xiaoxiao's impassability! ”

The rest of the sentence is not continued, but the answer is already obvious. This murder case actually originated from a small bet, and in the end they pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the water, so there was the result of Chen Xiaoxiao's drowning.

Xu Yi and Li Yu exchanged glances, knowing that things had become troublesome, the fact that Chen Xiaoxiao was murdered had been established, and the real murderer must be one of the three of them.

"These boys simply regard human life as child's play!"

"I really deserve to die, I did such a careless thing to disregard human life!"

"They must not be let go, let them get the punishment they deserve!"

……

When the people and scholars in the hall heard that it was such a ridiculous reason, they couldn't help but reprimand the evil deeds of these three sons and brothers, and even supported Lin Haoran to severely punish them.

Lin Haoran knew that he was still one step away from the truth, so he turned his head to look at Li Gongzi who was standing in the hall and threatened: "Li Gongzi, is this the case?" Now you are the only one of the three of you who has not been punished, and if you don't invite you truthfully, Benchin will not mind letting you learn the taste of the cane! ”
