Chapter 91 Confrontation in court
The old bustard came to the hall and bowed to Song Jing and said:
"Old slave Su has never seen Lord Shizi."
Song Jing cleared his throat and asked:
"Su Li, the death of Li Pingping in Wanzilou, do you know whether this letter was found in Li Pingping's room."
A servant stepped forward and took the letter from Song Jing's hand and handed it to the old bustard, who glanced at the letter and replied:
"Back to the world, this letter was obtained in Li Pingping's room, yes, two days ago, Young Master Nangong went to Wanzilou to investigate the case, and wanted to ask Li Pingping for questioning, so the old slave went to Li Pingping's room and called Li Pingping, but Li Pingping was not in the room, the old slave only saw this letter, so he took it to Young Master Nangong, but I didn't expect that someone found Li Pingping dead in the moat the next day."
As soon as the old bustard finished speaking, Nangong Mo stood up and continued:
"Shizi, please take a closer look at the letterhead found in Li Pingping's room, whether the handwriting is the same as the handwriting of the other two letters."
The official took back the letter paper from the old bustard's hand and handed it back to Song Jing, Song Jing carefully compared it, nodded and said:
"It's really the same person, do you mean that it was the same person who killed Li Pingping and framed Shu Yu?"
As soon as Song Jing finished speaking, Xing Zhutou clenched his fists and said:
"The prince really knows everything, the killing of Li Pingping and framing Shu Yu must have been done by the same person, and the murderers who framed Shu Yu are the two brothers Lei Hu and Lei Bao, so it proves that this matter has nothing to do with the punishment."
After Xing Zhutou finished speaking, he glanced at Nangong Mo, and said quietly: "Xing Mou is very curious, why did Young Master Nangong say that Xing Mou was a suspect as soon as he came up, if it was because Xing Mou offended Nangong Young Master by mistake, and invited Nangong Young Master Haihan, Xing Mou is just a businessman." ”
Nangong Mo replied with a sneer:
"Xing Zhutou, you don't have to be in a hurry, Mo's words haven't been finished yet!"
Then he hugged Song Jing and continued:
"Hui Shizi, framing Shu Yu was done by Lei Hu Lei Leopard, but it was someone else who killed Li Pingping, Lei Hu Lei Leopard themselves have just said that they just followed Chen Ke's instructions to the agreed place, and then poisoned Lu Pingchuan according to the instructions and stunned Shu Yu, not Shu Yu and Lu Pingchuan who they went to make an appointment with.
The fact is that Xing Zhutou used Li Pingping's identity as Qinglou to let Li Pingping send these two letters to Shu Yu and Lu Pingchuan, and asked Shu Yu and Lu Pingchuan to go to Wanzilou for an appointment, and Li Pingping arranged for the two to be in the same room.
Most of the people in Qinglou know that some time ago, Shu Yu and Lu Pingchuan had some gaps, and when the two of them quarreled, Thunder Tiger and Thunder Leopard appeared to stun Shu Yu and poison Lu Pingchuan, creating the illusion that Shu Yu framed Lu Pingchuan.
When the prince wanted to overturn the case for Shu Yu, Xing Zhutou was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so he killed Li Pingping and Chen Ke. ”
Xing Zhutou was said by Nangong Mo, and his heart became more and more panicked, but he was still very calm on the surface, and after Nangong Mo finished speaking, he organized the wording and continued to argue:
"Young Master Nangong, this is just your words, why do you say that those letters are written by Xing, and there is no payment on them, maybe you made it up out of thin air?"
Nangong Mo smiled slightly:
"Xing Zhutou is really a good eye, I remember that you haven't seen the content of those letters from beginning to end, how do you know that those letters have not been signed, this is not what you wrote, who else can there be."
Xing Zhutou's face suddenly turned pale, cold sweat broke out, and he was so panicked that he explained:
"This ...... This...... This is also my speculation, if someone forges a letter to frame me, he will definitely not dare to pay for it. ”
Nangong Mo sneered:
"Xing Zhutou, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom, raised the letter in his hand, and said:
"Then this letter, Xing Zhutou should be familiar with it! This is from under the pillow at your house last night, but there is a payment on it, do you want me to show it to the prince to compare the handwriting? Do you still want to quibble? ”
When Xing Zhutou saw the letter in Nangong Mo's hand, he naturally knew what it meant, and pointed to Gong Mo: "You ......"
In the end, he didn't say anything more, and when he took out the letter from Nangong Mo, he knew that he was dead, and he was afraid that this matter would be difficult to end, and he suddenly became soft as mud, and almost collapsed on the ground.
Nangong Mo did not hand over the letter to Song Jing, but retracted it in his arms, walked to Xing Zhutou's side, and whispered in Xing Zhutou's ear:
"This crime alone can wipe out the nine clans, if you cooperate with me well and find out who is behind the scenes, maybe I can still intercede for you, and it won't affect your family, think about it yourself! What you have to do now is to confess the crime first, and I will take the opportunity to lock you up in the Shizi Mansion in order to save your life and that of your family. ”
Xing Zhutou's face became extremely ugly, and he immediately sat down on the ground, and after a while, he seemed to have made a decision, and bowed to Song Jing:
"Lord Shizi, Chen Ke and Li Pingping did punish a certain person, and a certain person pleaded guilty."
At this time, hearing Xing Zhutou personally confess, the people and officials outside the hall were in an uproar, and everyone was stunned, wondering what Nangong Mo said to Xing Zhutou, why did it suddenly reverse.
The most anxious person in the hall is Zhao Chongwen, Zhao Chongwen was at a loss at this time, and didn't understand how Xing Zhutou confessed all of a sudden, and when he heard Xing Zhutou confess, he thought to himself: "No matter what reason Xing Zhutou confesses, he can't let him expose himself." ”
Zhao Chongwen hurriedly walked to Xing Zhutou's side, pretending to be righteous and shouting:
"Xing Zhutou, as the head catcher of the government and the official of the imperial court, how can you do such a hurtful thing."
Song Jing saw Zhao Chongwen's face, touched his nose, and didn't stop Zhao Chongwen, he wanted to see what Zhao Chongwen wanted to do with an expression of watching a play?
Everyone knows that this matter is planned by Zhao Chongwen, but now he doesn't want to clean up Zhao Chongwen, and now Xing Zhutou is willing to admit his guilt, just let it out.
Xing Zhutou didn't plan to shake out Zhao Chongwen, but he didn't expect Zhao Chongwen to jump out and want to step on himself, and said angrily:
"Lord Zhao, do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge......
Before Xing Zhutou finished speaking, Zhao Chongwen hurriedly shouted:
"Shut up, until now you still want to pull Benguan into the water, but it's against you, come on! Serve in charge of torture and smash his mouth to me. ”
Song Jing originally wanted to see what kind of drama Zhao Chongwen played, but he didn't expect him to be so excessive, if Xing Zhutou was really punished by the palm, he would definitely not be able to speak in the past few days, and the case he wanted to investigate from his mouth would not be able to ask at that time.
Song Jing was shocked and shouted:
"Zhao Chongwen, do you still have this son in your eyes? I think you are becoming more and more lawless, and if you don't give you some color, you really think that this life is an ornament. ”
