455 The only witness
"But this man gave you the poison powder? And instigated you to poison the eldest son of the Zhang family? Cheng Ran didn't ask Zhang Meiyan directly, but asked Ah Xi.
According to his experience, this kind of silk-like woman will cry and shake her head whenever she asks.
The more you ask, the more she cries.
It's better not to ask, so that she can't hold her breath and take the initiative to speak.
Ah Xi nodded in confusion.
"Yes, that's ...... her"
Ah Xi trembled and reunited her with Zhang Meiyan outside the alley, and then explained the process of the other party instigating her to attack Zhang Qiuchi and hand over the poison to her.
Zhang Meiyan showed a look of surprise and shook her head frequently.
"Qingmei, you and I haven't seen each other for several years, why do you want to slander me when you open your mouth?"
She said incredulously, "You ...... Poisoned my eldest brother? Why are you so confused and ruthless? β
Ah Xi was stunned when she asked, obviously shocked by the other party's overly superb acting skills.
Her eldest brother?
What about the evil seed that said yes?
Also, how did the other party's weak but 'angry' look come about at this time?
If it weren't for Ah Xiji's certainty, he would really feel that he had seen another person in the recent days!
"Second uncle, the eldest brother has become famous in recent years, I often use him as an example to teach righteous students to read, it's too late for me to be happy for the eldest brother, how can it harm the eldest brother's heart?" Zhang Meiyan looked at Zhang Luan with tears in her eyes, and her tone was full of grievances: "Second uncle has watched me grow up since I was a child, how can he not know who I am?" β
"I'm no longer your second uncle, you don't have to call me that." Zhang Luan said with no different color: "How you are, I can't speculate and evaluate yourself." But what the truth is, it can be confused by just a few words. β
What grievances are not wronged, tears are not tears, in this world, the only tears that can move him are Qin Niang and Zhen Zhen.
At most, there is one more mother, but the mother is stubborn and refuses to cry easily.
As for the others?
Sorry, instead of feeling the slightest pity, he felt a little upset.
Besides, there is a difference between crying and crying, and now that the other party looks like this, he looks at it horizontally and vertically, and he feels that he is empty and disguised.
But in court, he doesn't judge things with intuition, he only uses evidence and testimony to discern.
Ah Li wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this.
also used her eldest son to teach Zhang Yiling to read? Talking is talking, can you not insult her eldest son?
Zhang Meiyan undoubtedly hit a hard nail, and immediately lowered her head and said, "...... It seems that the second ...... It seems that Mr. Zhang is still haunted by what my mother did when she was alive. My mother she ...... There are indeed many improprieties, and I will make another compensatory to Lord Zhang here. β
Zhang Luan frowned slightly.
What is she doing?
Singing?
Deng Yu felt a pain in his heart.
Regardless of whether her mother was at fault or not, if she was, why should she bear it?
These days, he sees her hardships and hardships in his eyes - because of this, he feels more and more that the other party can maintain a kind and soft heart, which is really commendable.
Such a sensible girl, how could the Zhang family be willing to be so embarrassed, and not leave any affection and trust?
The resentment in his heart was gradually accumulating.
"Above the court, how can you talk about him left and right." Cheng Ran looked at Zhang Meiyan: "The prisoner Ah Xi has confessed to the crime of poisoning and murdering the eldest son of the Zhang family, and now she has identified you as the mastermind behind it, can you plead guilty?" β
Zhang Meiyan shook her head resolutely, looking full of confidence.
"What the folk girl has never done, she naturally doesn't recognize it." She turned her head to look at Ah Xi, and said in a deep voice: "She must have a grudge against me for being involved in my mother's affairs back then, so she wants to slander and implicate me......"
"You talk nonsense!" Ah Xixian was enraged, and said everything: "If it wasn't for your instigation at that time, I might not have done this ruthlessly!" You also told me to be cautious, and if you succeed this time, you will try to redeem me in the future! β
"My lord, I haven't seen this person at all in recent years."
Zhang Meiyan knelt there, facing Cheng Ran's direction, and said, "And Lord Fang Cai once said that she managed to poison the eldest son's dim sum today, and I have never gone out at home today, how can I expect the eldest prince to eat any dim sum?" How can we anticipate the ability to prepare in advance? From this point of view, this is a temporary idea of her alone, and then she will bite me indiscriminately! β
Cheng Ran was silent for a while, and looked at Ah Xi.
"Yes, today I did make it to myself!" Ah Xi secretly gritted his teeth.
At first, they planned to use the Yu family's son-in-law to ask Zhang Qiuchi out and do it outside, which was also convenient for blurring the evidence.
It's just that Zhang Qiuchi didn't agree to the appointment, so she had to think of another countermeasure, so Zhang Meiyan told her to stay near Zhang's house and look for an opportunity to start.
She admitted that she poisoned the dim sum because she saw Cuiping come out when she was near Zhang's house, and she followed all the way to make a decision, and she didn't have time to discuss it with Zhang Meiyan in the future-
But at first, the proposal to poison Zhang Qiuchi was what Zhang Meiyan said, and the poison was also given by her!
All this is Zhang Meiyan's instructions!
How did it become a proof of her innocence now?
Ah Xi didn't hide it, and said all these things as they were.
"Since you have the intention to slander me, you can make up any lies." Zhang Meiyan looked forbearing.
"There is no basis for your words, do you have any evidence to prove that you have seen the Zhang family recently?" Cheng Ran asked objectively.
As long as it can be proved that Ah Xi has seen Zhang Meiyan recently, it is enough to show that Zhang Meiyan is lying to cover up the truth.
And if it can't be proved that the two have met, and Ah Xi has no other evidence in his hands, then all these identifications will be empty talk.
Ah Xi recalled in a low voice: "When we first see each other, it's getting late...... I don't have any documents. β
That time, they talked in that alley for nearly an hour.
"By the way, I stayed with her for a long time that night, and I was late to return to Qufanglou, so I was scolded by my motherββ"
Cheng Ran shook his head.
"There is no evidence for this."
It's late to go back, it may be for any reason, and it can't be proved that she has ever seen Zhang Meiyan.
ββ¦β¦ Also, the second time......"
Ah Xi thought about it, and shook his head first.
It's all because she has a ghost in her heart, and she tries to hide people's eyes and ears from her thoughts, and tries not to meet in crowded places...... It's good for now, but there is not even a single proof!
In the face of such Zhang Meiyan, Ah Xi, who was deeply aware of the fact that he was being used, was both anxious and unwilling.
And so on β
Ah Xi thought of a key point, suddenly raised her voice, and said, "The afternoon before yesterday, when she handed over the poison to me, it was in the bamboo forest behind the Baiji Teahouse...... At that time, there was a guy in the Baiji Teahouse who came to pick bamboo leaves, and he met with us! β
She thought about it, and it seemed that only this time she had been seen when they met.
And it's only been two days, so the guy should still be impressed!
Zhang Meiyan's heart jumped suddenly.
