Chapter 053: The Ugliness of Human Nature

Ye Xintian twisted her eyebrows, looking at Xiao Xie's seemingly fierce face, there were some things hidden that she couldn't understand, and at the moment when Xiao Xie was about to approach her, a figure rushed into the middle of her and Xiao Xie at an extremely fast speed.

The white light flashed in her eyes, and she saw Yi Sijin blocking in front of her, pulled out the soft sword from her waist, and threw it to the ground with a buzz, the soft sword instantly straightened, and stabbed at Xiao Xie in the next second, she quickly reached out and pressed his arm.

Xiang Ze also came over at the same time, but seeing that Yi Sijin protected Ye Xintian well, he stood aside and did not interfere.

Xiao Xie rushed over, and when he was about to get close to Ye Xintian, his wrist rotated, and he changed the direction of the knife, the sharp side was facing him, the handle was towards Ye Xintian, and the next moment the cold sword body was against his neck artery.

"Wait!" Ye Xintian also realized the change in Xiao Xie's eyes, she didn't even think about holding Yi Sijin's hand and stopped her.

Yi Sijin also put away the sword at the last second, and did not stab it, when he was face to face with Xiao Xie, he found that he pointed the tip of the knife at himself, maybe Xiao Xie did not mean to kill Ye Xintian in the first place.

Yes, Xiao Xie wanted to put Ye Xintian to death at first, but then he saw his parents in the crowd, and he gave up at the last moment with a nervous and disappointed face.

"Aunt Su is a hypocritical person, she is innocent of death!" Xiao Xie yelled at everyone, as if he wanted others to agree with him, shouting heartbreakingly.

Ye Xintian sighed, put his hand on Yi Sijin's shoulder, crossed over to him, and said, "It's okay, he can't hurt me with you." ”

Yi Sijin wanted to hold her, because Xiao Xie dared to openly assassinate her in the court, and there was nothing that could not be done, but she shook her head, he could only get out of the way and said, "If there is danger, this king will pull you away as soon as possible." ”

Ye Xintian nodded and smiled slightly, indicating that he knew.

"Why do you say that Aunt Su is innocent of death? Is it true that you steal chickens, or are you making it up out of thin air? She asked.

Xiao Xie threw away the knife in his hand, he knew that he didn't have a second chance, because Ye Xintian was protected by three people with strong martial arts, and he saw his parents in the crowd, with tears in his eyes, and silently said to him Confess, stop.

He shook his head vigorously, and his eyes, which had been foggy, were closed, and when he opened them again, it was already clear, and he said, "That's the truth." ”

"So you're not going to have more friction than once? Am I right? Ye Xintian asked.

Xiao Xie took a deep breath and said while thinking back to what happened before: "Aunt Su is a good person on the surface, but in fact, she is a very bad person, her hands and feet are not clean, she also wronged me for stealing money last time, and this time it is even more outrageous to say that I stole chickens, the words are ugly, the scolding is also ugly, and she also says everywhere that our family education is not good." The money was that she went to the gambling house and lost the money, and she spent it all, and she wanted to wronged me and asked her father and mother to give money; She deliberately brought the chickens to our house, and then wronged us for stealing them; Usually she is also greedy. It's cheap, but because she is King Jin's nurse, most people turn a blind eye; These are not enough, my father and mother went to intercede for me, she even asked my father and mother to kneel, so that she would not pursue the matter of stealing chickens, and then she actually talked about it everywhere, causing my father and mother to be unable to raise their heads in front of people. ”

"So, you took advantage of Aunt Su's family to be the only one in the house, and you did it?" Ye Xintian shook his head helplessly, sure enough, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, everything has cause and effect.

Xiao Xie glanced at the parents in the crowd, nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"And you've been to Aunt Su's house more than once, because you have to plan everything, so it's a premeditated killing, am I right?"

"......" Xiao Xie pursed his lips, "Yes." ”

"Am I right?" Ye Xintian asked.

"Probably as you said, but ......" Xiao Xie paused, and then said: "I didn't give arsenic poison, and buying arsenic in Chenguo is quantitative, and it needs to be registered, and it is generally not given more." ”

"And what kind of poison are you using?"

"It's not a poison, it's a plant called mountain arsenic." Now that this is the case, Xiao Xie feels that there is no need to hide it anymore.

Mountain arsenic cream is also called broken intestine grass, its main toxic substance is gourdine vine, after eating, the stomach will become black and adhesive, and people will die of abdominal pain. Su Shi was already dead, the venom did not continue to run, Xiao Xie poured into his throat and did not flow to his internal organs.

"How did you know how leverage works?"

"As long as you see a lot of things and have more ideas in your head, there will be many ways."

Xiao Xie is quite smart, but this kind of cleverness is used in the wrong place, if it is used on the right path, his future prospects are limitless, but unfortunately it is ruined by jealousy and anger.

"Who gave you the dagger and hairpin?" Ye Xintian wanted to know the origin of these two things the most, and she wanted to know who was planning to harm her in private.

"I don't know. It's as if someone knows that I'm going to kill Aunt Su, and when I come back from finishing, things are on the table. ”

Ye Xintian chose to believe Xiao Xie, because it was like this, and there was no need to hide it anymore, but all this mystery seemed to have returned to the original point.

Is such a seamless murder plan really thought of by a seventeen-year-old boy? first created a fatal wound, and then covered it up with poisoning, a series of things, was it really arranged by Xiao Xie himself?

"Can I ask one thing?" Xiao Xie said.

"Say."

"How did you find out I killed someone?"

"You did play it perfectly, but the person who showed the most was yourself. Your confession is perfect, your state is very calm, generally speaking, no one at the scene of the murder will want to set foot again, let alone a teenager, you are not the slightest bit afraid, and I see excitement in your eyes. ”

"So you asked him to design me?"

"I couldn't figure out what kind of mistake was making you want to kill until I asked the people you worked with, and they all said that when you talk about something and touch yourself, you become very extreme. So, I decided to test you, and although an hour of preparation time is a bit short, it's good that you took the bait. ”

It turned out that Li Hongpeng deliberately provoked Xiao Xie and stomped Xiao Xie on the ground, he would want to resist, and the result of following all the way was that he was brought into the yamen by them.

"Alas," Xiao Xie sighed and said, "I'm convinced." ”

"So you pleaded guilty?" She asked tentatively.

Xiao Xie didn't answer, looked up at the parents in the crowd, knelt in their direction, kowtowed hard, and said, "My son is not filial." ”

Xiao Xie's parents rushed into the court, hugged Xiao Xie's body, and choked up: "Ask the adults to be magnanimous, ask the adults to be magnanimous!" We've kowtowed to you! ”

Jing Zhao Yin was shocked, motioned to the master to send the confession, and looked at the two old men who were bleeding from their heads, and the seventeen-year-old boy kneeling in the court, and then thinking about the dead Su Shi, he felt very uncomfortable. But the state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules.

The master presented a paper full of dense characters, spread it on the ground, grabbed Xiao Xie's hand, printed it with red ink, and prepared to draw it.

Xiao Xie's father and mother suddenly stared at Ye Xintian, and rushed to her feet, and the two of them pulled the hem of her skirt, crying and shouting: "Please raise your noble hand to the princess, he is just a child, he doesn't understand anything, spare him this time." ”

Ye Xintian saw that Yi Sijin was going to step forward, raised her hand and motioned for him to stand still and not move, she squatted down, looked at Xiao Xie's parents, and said: "His young age is not an excuse, everyone should be responsible for what he has done, although the Su family is wrong, but the crime is not to death, if I let him go, what about the relatives of the Su family?" Will he be able to live the rest of his life with peace of mind? ”

Doting can make a person's life worse than death. She can let Xiao Xie go, but Xiao Xie will live in guilt for the rest of his life, so it is better to atone for his sins in prison, so that he will feel better, why don't his parents understand this truth?

"We promise you that he will change for the better, and we will teach him well." Xiao Xie Niang clutched Ye Xintian's skirt tightly, and her joints turned white with force, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she didn't want to give up.

Ye Xintian shook his head and said, "It's useless for you to beg me, it's not that I condemn him, it's the law of the country." ”

Jing Zhaoyin walked over, nodded in agreement, and said, "This official will truthfully play this matter to the emperor, and hand it over to the emperor to decide how to deal with it." ”

Yes, she is only responsible for finding out the murderer and recovering her innocence, as for the issue of conviction, it is not for her to interfere.

"Hear that? It is useless to ask me. Ye Xintian pulled back his skirt and said.

Xiao Xie's parents turned their heads to beg Jing Zhaoyin, Jing Zhaoyin was so annoyed by them that he hid in the back hall, Ye Xintian looked at the scene in front of him and could only shake his head.

"By the time you start killing, there's no going back." Ye Xintian said as he turned around and walked out of the court.

Yi Sijin saved her in the hall just now, and she wanted to thank her, but when she came back to her senses, he was gone, and Xiang Ze and Li Hongpeng were gone.

She took Chunke and Qingling to the door of Jing Zhao Yin's mansion, no one dared to stop her along the way, and just as she was about to leave, Jing Zhao Yin came out of nowhere and stretched out his hand to block her way.

Ye Xintian stopped, twisted his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Something?" ”

It stands to reason that she has nothing to do with the Su case, and the murderer has been found, so Jing Zhaoyin has no reason to trouble her.

"Please take a trip to the inner hall, and please help if the lower officials have something." Jing Zhaoyin bent down and lowered his head, put his hands in front of him with fists, and spoke in a low voice.

Ye Xintian looked at Jing Zhaoyin's 180-degree change and raised his eyebrows, this attitude only exists when he asks for others.

"My lord laughed, where did I have the ability to help you?" Ye Xintian tugged at the corners of his mouth, who wouldn't say polite words.

"Please take the princess with the lower officials." Jing Zhaoyin still grovelled, without his usual domineering.

Ye Xintian was a little impatient, it was time to be polite, Jing Zhaoyin still didn't know how to look at his face, it was really annoying, she said: "If you have something, just say it!" ”
