Nalan Jin didn't believe Lord Bao's words, and thought that he just found an excuse like the first time, and then framed Nalan Jin and them.

"Lord Bao said it so seriously, shouldn't it be like last time, but when Lord Bao said it, there are no witnesses at all." Nalan Jin said fearlessly.

Master Bao knew that Nalan Jin would have this question, so he ordered the official to bring the woodcutter up and confront Nalan Jin face to face.

The woodcutter walked up to the lobby with a slick eyebrow, staring around with gray eyes, scared and blind.

"Meet your lordship." The woodcutter knelt down with his head bowed all the time.

"Your Majesty, who is kneeling, report your name!" Master Bao patted the frightened woodcutter and shuddered.

"Lord Hui, the woodcutter of Lotus Village." The woodcutter replied respectfully.

"Woodcutter from Lotus Village, this official asks you, do you know about the destruction of the Lin family?" Mr. Bao asked in an official tone.

"Back to my lord, I know that the villain also saw the murderer of the Lin family with his own eyes." The woodcutter rolled his eyes as if he was thinking about something.

"Raise your head, do you see the murderer you saw in the hall?" Master Bao instructed the woodcutter.

The woodcutter raised his head, glanced at everyone in the hall, and when he saw Nalan Jin, his eyes widened in surprise.

"It's her! That's her! That's what I met! The woodcutter suddenly pointed at Nalan Jin and shouted, identifying her with certainty.

Nalan Jin pointed at herself suspiciously, and then looked at Master Bao.

Dongfang Yi was even more surprised, there were so many people in the hall, the woodcutter could recognize Nalan Jin at a glance, and he was so sure.

Master Bao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, slowly relaxed his body, and raised the frown that had been frowning.

"The official asks you, are you sure that what you see is the person you are referring to in the court?" Mr. Bao pretended to be impartial and interrogated repeatedly.

"That's right, the villain is sure that it was chopping wood, and he came back, although it was a little late, but what he saw was that she was right." The woodcutter tried to remember, and said with a nose and an eye.

"Nonsense, how did you see me, I haven't been to the Lin family at all, how can I kill them and frame others, aren't you afraid of going to jail!" Nalan Jin walked up to the woodcutter and questioned him loudly, and tried to molest the woodcutter to tell the truth.

"Yes. This person must be talking nonsense, we didn't see the so-called woodcutter at that time when we went to collect debts. Dongfang Yi also stood up to defend himself.

Nalan Jin's doubts, someone had arranged the woodcutter's words before this, so when Nalan Jin asked, the woodcutter was not panicked at all.

"The adults are wronged, what the villain said is true, and there is no lie." The woodcutter shouted aggrievedly at Lord Bao in the hall.

"Master Hou, don't get excited, the official doesn't believe that Master Hou will kill people, but there are witnesses, you must always find out, the headquarters can't let those people wronged Master Hou." Lord Bao mockingly persuaded Nalan Jin, and between the lines was sarcasm.

Especially when he said the word "Hou Ye", he deliberately accentuated his tone, for fear that others would not know Nalan Jin's identity, so as to belittle him

Her identity.

Nalan Jin also saw the inner world of Lord Bao, he just wanted to announce his personal vendetta to vent the previous oppression of him because of his status as a marquis.

Since this is the case, Nalan was ruthless tonight and embarrassed Lord Bao on the spot.

"You said that you saw me kill the people of the Lin family, what did I do and how did I kill them?" Nalan Jin walked up to the woodcutter's side and interrogated him unhurriedly.

When the evidence was all there, Nalan Jin couldn't make any big waves, so he took a sip of tea and listened to the woodcutter slowly.

"The people of the court, just say that there is this official who administers justice for you." Master Bao looked at Nalan Jin hintly.

"It's my lord!" The woodcutter straightened his chest as if he had won a gold medal order, "That day, the villain came back late from chopping wood, and when he passed by the Lin family, he heard a woman's voice, and the villain was curious to take a closer look, and saw that she was threatening the people of the Lin family with a knife to hand over the money, otherwise she would kill people." ”

"Did the people of the Lin family hand over the money?" Mr. Bao interrogated seriously.

"No, adults don't know, there is an asthma patient in the Lin family. The perennial decoction does not leave his mouth, and he needs a large amount of money to maintain the money is the life of his family, so naturally he will not hand it over, so the woman was angry and killed the Lin family. ”

The woodcutter's self-description can be said to be tearful and touching, as if his own family had been killed in the same way, and everyone around him became sad.

Nalan Jin listened like a laugh, and couldn't help but puff.

"That's a good point, I really doubt that you are a storyteller, and you are not a woodcutter who does rough work at all." Nalan Jin applauded.

"Master Hou, pay attention, don't disturb the court, the official is still there!" Master Bao patted the startled wood and reminded.

"And do you remember the woman?" Master Bao continued to ask the woodcutter.

"Lord Hui is the person in front of me! That's her! I never dreamed of what she looked like. "The woodcutter's righteous words are pointing against Nalan Jin.

"Are you sure it's the person in front of you? You must know that perjury is a big jail sentence. Master Bao pretended to be fair and reminded the woodcutter.

"Back to the adults, what the little one said is true, and there is no lie." The woodcutter stared at Nalan Jin and nodded.

Regarding the woodcutter's accusation, Nalan Jin really can't agree. Even Dongfang Yi could hear that the woodcutter's words were full of loopholes, but Master Bao believed it to be true.

Nalan Jin seized on a few loopholes in the woodcutter's speech, and when the woodcutter pointed out her in a conclusive manner, she had already thought of an excuse to defend herself.

"You said that you saw with your own eyes that I killed the seven members of the Lin family, so what murder weapon did I use to kill them?" Nalan Jin asked word by word.

"Knives, yes, yes, knives!" The woodcutter asked himself unconfidently, and finally answered in the affirmative.

"Then let me ask you, do I hold a knife in my left hand or in my right hand? There are seven people in the Lin family, who will kill first? Nalan Jin pressed forward step by step.

"I ...... Right hand, no, no,

Left hand! No, right hand, right hand! The woodcutter was a little confused by the question, and he didn't have a clue, "When I arrived, the man was already dead, so I don't know who was killed first." ”

The woodcutter began to speak incoherently, his eyes looked around in a panic, and at first he looked for the person who could give him a hint, but there was no response, so he had to drag Nalan Jin into the water as much as possible according to the original intention of the confessor.

"Then let me ask you again, you said that I killed them for the Lin family's money, so what about the money, where did the money go?" Nalan Jin twitched the corners of her mouth disdainfully.

"Money ......," the woodcutter became more and more confused, "you took the money yourself, how could I possibly know where you were hiding?" "The woodcutter just answered vaguely anyway, and he didn't know what to ask.

"Hmph, if you don't stand up at all, you dare to say evidence, it's really a fallacy, people like you who can only frame others deserve jail." Nalan Jin loudly rebuked the woodcutter.

The woodcutter lay on the ground in fear, not daring to look up at Nalan Jin, and her head and face were so big that the woodcutter was almost out of breath.

"No, I have proof!" The woodcutter suddenly remembered what someone had stuffed him before.

"What evidence, present it!" Lord Bao seemed to see the dawn of hope.

Nalan Jin was even more disdainful, when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, even if he argued for himself again, it was just a final struggle, and the act of fighting the trapped beast was in vain after all.

"This is it." The woodcutter trembled and took out something from his pocket and asked the official next to him to hand it to Master Bao, "This is what the Lin family forcibly ripped off her body before she died." They were in a hurry, and I thought it should be useful, so I hid them. ”

The woodcutter said a few words about the righteousness of his actions.

Master Bao looked at it carefully, it was the corner of the clothes, and the texture and color were very consistent with Nalan Jin's clothes.

"That's a piece of evidence, what else do you have to quibble." Master Bao put down the corner of his clothes and looked at Nalan Jin sternly.

Nalan Jin was curious, when his clothes were missing the corners, he didn't know, and when he looked at Dongfang Yi, he was even more confused.

"Even if this is the case, it can't prove that Jin'er is the murderer, Nalan Mansion regularly donates clothes to the poor, who knows if it was sent away at that time, just so that others could use it." Dongfang Yi stood up to defend Nalan Jin.

"The evidence is conclusive and denied, and you are really ashamed of the marquis token given to you by the imperial court." Master Bao once again sarcastically mocked Nalan Jin.

At this time, an official ran in from outside the door and muttered a few words in Lord Bao's ear, and Lord Bao immediately glanced at Nalan Jin proudly.

"Come, witnesses." Master Bao looked outside and shouted.

Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi looked outside at the same time.

At this time, a woman with a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance walked in with light steps, and the smell of fat powder on her body was a little prominent when she looked at it.

"The little woman has seen the grown-up." The woman said softly with a light veil covering her face.

"Who's in the hall?

Master Bao looked at the woman with a smile.

"The little woman is the peony of Wanhualou." Peony raised his head slightly, and Master Bao was dazzled.

"Then why did you suddenly ask to go to court?" Master Bao walked down slowly.

"Wronged Lord. The old mother of the Lin family is the aunt of the little girl, and the aunt's family was brutally killed, and the adults are invited to call the shots. Don't let the murderer go. "The peony suddenly cried, and the pear blossom brought rain.

Mr. Bao stepped forward to help the peony in distress and took the opportunity to take advantage of it. Peony knew the common problems of these men, so he pushed the boat along the river, pretending to faint in the arms of Lord Bao in a hurry.

"It's okay, with this official here, he will definitely make decisions for your aunt." Master Bao impliedly patted Peony's hand.

"Thank you, sir." Peony held her forehead and nodded weakly, "My aunt is my only relative in this world, so I must know who the murderer is, what clues there are, and please tell me." ”

Peony hugged Mr. Bao again, pretending to care about his aunt's case, and begged Mr. Bao pitifully.
