Chapter 325: Confession
"My lord, what the villain said is true, but there is no lie!"
The old shopkeeper looked at Boss Cai's excited appearance, and his face turned pale with fright, but he knew very well that if he retracted his confession at this time, it would not only be beneficial to him, but it would be easy for Zhang Zhixian to mistakenly think that he was in the same group as Boss Cai.
Since they have already spoken, they will either simply offend people to death, and they can't change their words, otherwise they are not people inside and out, and he will really jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it.
The old shopkeeper knew very well what he had to do, and immediately kowtowed to Zhang Zhixian.
"My lord, the little one is definitely not lying, the owner has indeed just accepted a concubine, but I don't know where the concubine's room went."
"Old immortal, you wait for me, I won't let you go!"
Boss Cai didn't expect that the shopkeeper was not only not afraid of himself, but even said it in such detail, and he was suddenly angry.
He rushed up and was about to punch someone, but at this time, he was in the court, where would Zhang Zhixian allow him to be so presumptuous.
"Hold someone down for me!"
Several officials were also quick to see and move, and they pulled Boss Cai aside and pressed him to the ground.
Rao is like this, but his eyes when he looks at the old shopkeeper are still ruthless, like a beast waiting for an opportunity, as long as the old shopkeeper is not careful, it seems that he will be killed directly.
The old shopkeeper didn't expect Boss Cai to be so crazy, and he was so frightened that his face was like ashes.
But there was only this path in front of him, and he knew very well that he had no way out.
"My lord, if you don't believe it, just ask the others, and the guys at the Fugui Restaurant can testify for the little one!"
As soon as these words came out, several people immediately echoed them.
In fact, this is not to blame the old shopkeeper, pear peanut is swaggering, after becoming Boss Cai's concubine, he thought that he had climbed the high branch, and really regarded himself as the hostess of the restaurant.
When she was in the restaurant, she didn't ask people to do this and that, and because of this, the guys were very impressed by her concubine.
With everyone's testimony, it was useless for Boss Cai to argue, and his face became more and more gloomy.
He had realized that this matter was beyond his control, and he was afraid that he would not be able to end well.
Sure enough, he heard Zhang Zhixian speak slowly again and asked.
"Who is that little concubine, and what does she look like, do you have any impression?"
Several people listened to Zhang Zhixian's inquiry and couldn't help but look at each other.
"I don't know where it is, but it looks good, very similar to this lady."
"Yes, I thought it was very similar just now, but if you look closely, it is quite similar. However, the concubine's mouth is smaller, and she has a slender figure and is a little younger. ”
When everyone saw the woman, they all felt that the woman's appearance was somewhat similar to the pear blossom, and they all started to talk about it.
In fact, if you really talk about it, the appearance of the woman and Pear Blossom is not very similar, but the temperament of the mother and daughter is inexplicably suitable, which makes people feel that they are very similar.
The woman was originally worried about her daughter's whereabouts, for fear that Rika would really become a fugitive slave and that there would be only one way to die if she was caught, but when she suddenly heard this kind of words, her mood suddenly became complicated.
"You're talking about my daughter Rika?"
She couldn't help it, so she asked everyone.
As soon as this name came out, not only everyone's expressions changed, but even Boss Cai showed a surprised expression.
"Huh? Are you really the mother of that concubine? ”
The old shopkeeper knew the name of Pear Blossom, he didn't expect the woman to ask like this, and subconsciously answered.
This question did not matter, but it made the woman's face pale with shock.
"Really, really pear blossoms? Where is my pear blossom now? ”
The old shopkeeper nodded when he heard this, although he was old, he was deaf and clear-sighted, and he would not be mistaken.
"Didn't the concubine go back to her parents' house, why did the eldest sister ask me?"
The two of them stared wide-eyed, not very sure what was going on.
All this naturally fell in Zhang Zhixian's eyes, and looking at everything that happened in front of him, he also knew it in his heart.
"Cai Fugui, where is your little concubine at this time, bring me the truth!"
Boss Cai had already determined at this time that this incident was not the master's search for fugitive slaves at all, it was completely a trap set by Jiang Li.
He gritted his teeth and stared at Jiang Liang desperately, as if he could tear off a piece of flesh from her with his eyes.
Jiang Liang faced his fierce appearance, but he smiled indifferently.
"My lord, since Pear Blossom has never returned to Qinghui Pavilion and has not returned to her parents' house, maybe she was hidden by Boss Cai. Why don't you send someone up to the restaurant to search for it? Hengzhi Fugui Restaurant is such a place, it must be able to find people. ”
Jiang Liang said lazily, and smiled slightly at Boss Cai who was deliberately provocative.
"You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, there is absolutely no reason for her to escape!"
As soon as Jiang Li's words came out, Boss Cai's face suddenly turned pale, he suddenly understood something, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his back.
He stared at Jiang Liang in disbelief, unable to understand how she knew the truth of the matter.
Jiang Liang didn't have the mood to explain to him, but turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhixian seriously, just waiting for him to decide.
"Miss Jiang's words make sense."
When Zhang Zhixian heard Jiang Liang make such a suggestion, he pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and directly sent someone to search the Fugui Restaurant.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Jiang Liang's mood became better and better.
The few officials sent were all proficient in investigating cases, and they were advised by Zhang Zhixian to bring hounds over.
Time passed minute by minute, and while everyone was waiting anxiously, the official who had finally been sent returned and brought back an astonishing news.
"My lord, we found the body of that concubine in the courtyard."
One stone startled a thousand waves, and the words of the head catcher were like a heavy punch that smashed into the hearts of Boss Cai and Pear Blossom's mother at the same time.
Rika's mother immediately got up from the ground, desperately threw herself on the headcatcher, and beat him desperately.
"You talk nonsense! You are talking nonsense! My daughter is certainly not dead! ”
"The man has been carried back to the room."
The head catcher was not in a good mood after being beaten like this, but he didn't mean to argue with Rika's mother, but looked at Zhang Zhixian and waited for him to decide.
"Let's bring someone over to identify the body first. In addition, an autopsy will be arranged. ”
Hearing that Pear Blossom was indeed dead, Zhang Zhixian couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had long expected that this matter would not be simple, he did not expect that it would turn into a murder.
Seeing Zhang Zhixian speak, everyone followed the head catcher to the class room.
Jiang Li, as the bitter master, also wanted to identify the corpse together, she slowly got up with Yuehua's support and walked slowly towards the class room.
"Madam, that place is very dirty, you better not go and see it."
Yuehua didn't agree with Jiang Li's decision, frowned, and didn't want her to go to identify it.
