Chapter 117: Xiao's Questioning
Chapter 117: Shaw's questioning
Ruan Qing slowly raised his head and turned his gaze to Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying didn't look at him, and continued to speak to herself.
Even the merchants, neither did they see him go out to talk about business, nor did they see any of his men following, nor did anyone see the groceries of the north and south that he was talking about. Therefore, his identity as a merchant was forged.
And the forgery is not at all careful.
didn't even have a few minimum props, which shows that this person is not worried about his identity being revealed. Because ......"
When Xiao Ying said this, she suddenly paused.
Everyone in the hall and under the hall was almost led by Xiao Ying's nose. Seeing that Xiao Ying didn't say anything, someone couldn't help but answer.
"What can it be, naturally there is no fear."
"Yes, he must have some backing. Even if his identity is revealed, he can also protect his thoughtful backer. β
Xiao Ying smiled and nodded, making the two readers who spoke show embarrassed expressions.
He incarnated as a son surnamed Zhao and lived in Wanxiangyuan, but he never ate a bite of Wanxiangyuan's food...... This Zhao Gongzi is very noble, and his food is secretly sent to Wanxiangyuan by Zhengyang Building. β
Xiao Ying's words were fluttering, as if it was a normal thing.
But Zhengyang Lou is in Fuyang, no one knows, and no one knows.
It is the No. 1 restaurant in Fuyang, known as the Qianjin Building.
Those who can enter Zhengyang Building, which one is not full of money.
Just with a lot of money, at most he is a rich man, so he can only sit in the lobby downstairs when he enters Zhengyang Building, and he can't go to the second floor, let alone the third floor.
But even the guests who can go up to the second and third floors have to come to Zhengyang Building to eat in person.
I haven't heard that Zhengyanglou personally delivered food to the door.
This Zhengyang Building is unique in Fuyang...... Never clichΓ©d.
It is said that two years ago, an old man of the imperial court passed by this place and sent someone to Zhengyang Tower to spread the word, threatening that his family was unwell and it was inconvenient to come in person, so they asked them to deliver the meal to the place where the adult at the post station stayed.
Rejected by Zhengyang Building.
Later, the adult also made a fuss, threatening to make Zhengyang Building look good.
But in the end, the matter was settled. After that, no one dared to mess with Zhengyang Tower.
Such a place that is high in the hearts of the people of Fuyang, but the rice is sent to Wanxiangyuan.
It's simply ...... It's like selling dog meat on a sheep's head.
In vain, the literati and writers also wrote some poems from time to time to praise Zhengyanglou's 'out of the mud without staining'. Hell, it's just like silt, all black.
"Zhengyanglou actually colluded with Wanxiangyuan...... Murder of an innocent girl? But why? Miss Xiao, this doesn't make sense. Zhengyang Tower has been open in Fuyang for several years and has always had a good reputation, why did he destroy the Great Wall? β
Someone asked, and this is also a doubt in everyone's mind.
In the past, when trying cases, it was written to state the facts of the case, lay out the evidence, and the county order asked the murderer to admit guilt.
The murderer nodded, the county order was shocked, and the verdict could be pronounced.
If you don't admit your guilt, you will be sentenced.
Under heavy sentences, most murderers will plead guilty. A few with hard bones will eventually be beaten into tricks...... This is the step of the trial nowadays.
Xiao Ying found a different way today. She did not ask about the case, nor did she present evidence in court, let alone force the murderer to draw a detention.
She was telling the story, and since she stood in the courtroom, she had always spoken in a relaxed tone, bringing almost everyone into the plot.
This is the first time in history that this method of questioning a case has been conducted.
Whether it was the onlookers, or the bitter lords and servants in the hall, they all felt very novel, not only were they not impatient, but they also faintly hoped that Xiao Ying would speak more slowly and more.
"Yes, why did Zhengyang Tower self-destruct the Great Wall?"
Xiao Ying asked softly.
There was no need for Xiao Ying to say anything more, and someone used their imagination to start continuing the relay......
"What else can it be, Zhengyang Building must have some plans, and the benefits are quite large. Otherwise, Zhengyang Lou would never have taken the risk of sending the rice to Wanxiangyuan. Once Zhengyang Building and Wanxiang Courtyard are involved, the signboard of Zhengyang Building will fall......"
"But Zhengyang Building is a restaurant, and it only entertains dignitaries, and he has made a lot of money in the past few years, what else can he plot?"
"For the shopkeeper of Zhengyang Building, I'm afraid that the silver can no longer satisfy him...... You think, once silver becomes a number for people, 100,000 taels, 200,000 taels, I'm afraid it doesn't mean much. He was looking for something more satisfying to his greed. Perhaps, it hit it off with the surname Ruan......
Van Thi Nguyen Thi ...... I think I've heard of it. It is said that more than ten years ago, it was a big family in Wenxi, but these people have declined. Can the surname Ruan not afford to live in Wanxiang Courtyard? I can't afford to eat the food in Zhengyang Building. If it is said that there is no entanglement in the internal situation, who will believe it! β
"Could it be that the shopkeeper of Zhengyang Building instructed the surnamed Ruan to kill people with silver?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a hornet's nest, and there was a commotion in the hall and the hall.
Xiao Ying didn't stop it, and let people buzz and talk.
At this time, she finally turned around and glanced at Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing also happened to look back at her. The eyes of the two were divided in the air, Ruan Qing opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but Xiao Ying ignored it, she didn't seem to want Ruan Qing to confess his guilt and be detained.
"Miss Xiao, what is the truth?"
"Don't worry, the trial will start today, and the case will naturally be clearly explained, so that you can understand it in your hearts...... Do you guess that the shopkeeper of Zhengyang Building secretly conspired with the Ruan family to kill the girl together? But I can't figure out why they do this? β
Everyone nodded.
That's where people wonder.
Could it be ...... The shopkeeper was a bloodthirsty maniac who took pleasure in killing.
But if this is the case, Zhengyang Building has been open for several years, and in the past few years, Fuyang Town has been dead.
"The shopkeeper of Zhengyang Building is not enough to instruct one person to kill more than ten girls in a row......"
Xiao Ying simply said a single sentence, and pulled out a doubt that made people almost crazy.
Yes, no matter how pretentious Zhengyang Building is, it is just a restaurant. The reason why it has an outstanding position in the hearts of the people of Fuyang is only because it is a restaurant that ordinary people can't afford.
But it's just a restaurant after all.
A restaurant shopkeeper, is he really so bold?
Suddenly, someone had an idea. "Isn't it...... Guests, yes, must be the guests who patronize Zhengyang Building have some habits...... On the surface, he is a gentleman, but behind him he is sanctimonious. Those who enter and exit Zhengyang Building are either rich or expensive. Rich people always have some bad habits, and maybe there are those who like to torture and kill. β
There was a buzz, and the entire lobby was silent at first, and then exploded.
What do you say...... Heart-wrenching. Too bold.
But people don't think it's too much.
If it weren't for Zhengyanglou's secret collusion with the surname Ruan, why would he go to Wanxiangyuan alone to deliver food.
Among the people who watch the excitement, some like to gossip, and they like to gossip behind their backs. They knew very well what was happening on the streets of Fuyang. Someone took the opportunity to speak: "In the past six months, there are indeed some people who go to Zhengyang Tower very frequently. In the past, once a month, in recent months, some people even have to go to Zhengyang Tower once every three or five days......"
