Chapter 74: The Truth
"I don't know what happened, since then, Wen Jie has become silent, I didn't take it seriously at the time, if I had noticed it earlier, I would never have let her do this thing, I'm such a bastard." Cuong said in annoyance, his words full of self-reproach.
The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, but Ling Xiaoxiao can see it very clearly on the side, although Ah Qiang is a scholar, but if the interests are in front of her, she believes that few people will not be tempted, and it is no wonder that Ah Qiang will be obsessed.
"Is that all? Did Governor Liu tell you anything else? Or maybe it's something out of the ordinary. With that alone, she couldn't figure out what was really hidden behind it.
Ah Qiang thought about it carefully, and then shook his head, "Just let me do this thing, and also generously gave me eight hundred taels of silver." When he saw the silver at that time, he was shocked, he didn't expect that the always stingy Governor Liu would be so generous.
"What about the pharmacy doctor?" Ling Xiaoxiao reminded on the side.
Ah Qiang's facial expression changed abruptly, although he tried his best to hide it, but the fear in his eyes still couldn't be hidden, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand, the death of the pharmacy doctor has nothing to do with me. Cuong denied.
Ling Xiaoxiao replied lightly: "I didn't say it had anything to do with you, why are you so eager to clear up, could it be that the doctor was really killed by you?" β
"No, I didn't kill people, I didn't kill themβ" Cuong suddenly fell into a frenzy, very emotional.
Ling Xiaoxiao felt something unusual, contacted the front and back of the matter, looked at him, and said, "You were at the scene at the time, right?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked step by step, "You saw the murderer." β
Cuong wanted to run back uncontrollably, but Moying quickly stopped him, and seeing that there was nothing to be done, Cuong finally closed his eyes in despair.
"I and Dr. Xu are fellow villagers, usually very close, after agreeing to the request of Governor Liu, I discussed this plan with Dr. Xu, after Wen Jie identified you in the court, I went to Dr. Xu's pharmacy, and gave him the share that was promised to him, but just when I was ready to act, there was a movement in the lobby, I hurriedly put away the silver, opened the door curtain, and saw someone holding a knife on Dr. Xu's neck, I was afraid, so I hid under the bed, and then saw Dr. Xu leading people in, I hid under the bed and didn't dare to make a sound, watching the murderer rummaging through the cabinets in the house, and waiting for a long time after they left, I slowly got out from under the bed, I was afraid that the government would implicate myself in the case at that time, so I ran away, and I didn't dare to go home for several days, and then I heard that Liu Zhifu was beheaded, so I came back to see, and planned to take Wen Jie away, but I didn't expect Wen Jie to ...... "Ah Qiang confessed all the things and no longer concealed it." At the end of his speech, he bit his lip and forced to control the tears in his eyes.
Seeing Ah Qiang's appearance, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be a little moved, but after listening to his entire narrative, Ling Xiaoxiao still asked, "Have you seen the murderer's appearance clearly?" β
Ah Qiang shook his head, "No, I only saw that the other party was dressed in black and covered his face, but looking at that size, the other party should practice martial arts all year round, and his hands are very strong." "You can lift Dr. Xu with just one hand, no matter what, Dr. Xu is also a man, not a weak body.
Ling Xiaoxiao was a little annoyed, thinking that after seeing Ah Qiang, he would know the whole truth, but after listening to his narration, except for knowing that it was the ghost of Governor Liu's mansion behind him, he had no clue, grabbing his head with both hands, Ling Xiaoxiao rubbed it irritably, this sudden action startled Mo Ying.
"Xiaoxiao, are you alright?" Ink Shadow asked, a little worried.
Ling Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and said, "It's okay. Then he looked at Ah Qiang in front of him, his thin body, pale face, his face didn't look a little angry, and his whole body was shrouded in a melancholy.
Sighing helplessly, knowing all the things Ah Qiang knew, Ling Xiaoxiao didn't intend to embarrass him, turned his head and asked for Mo Ying's opinion.
Mo Ying waved his hand indifferently, "Anyway, the Pavilion Master has already handed over the matter to you, so you are fully responsible for everything." β
Ling Xiaoxiao nodded, in this case, for the sake of Wen Jie, since she already knew that the murderer was someone else, she also planned to let him go, Ling Xiaoxiao said to Ah Qiang, who was still in place: "You go, but I hope that after you have experienced this, you can change your ways, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and it is better to touch less money from unknown sources." That's all she can say.
Cuong responded: "I know, I will take your words to heart, and finally, thank you for helping them deal with the aftermath." After speaking, he looked at the tombstone of the stone pile.
Ling Xiaoxiao on the side watched quietly, Ah Qiang knelt down in front of the grave, kowtowed three times, and then stood up, his eyes were indifferent, before leaving, Ah Qiang suddenly thought of something, and said: "I remember, Wen Jie told me before, Governor Liu asked her something about the Pavilion Master of Fengxian Pavilion, and by the way, she also mentioned you, saying that you are different or something, you can help Governor Liu or something, and the specific Wen Jie didn't tell me, and I don't know if it will help you." β
After speaking, he nodded at Ling Xiaoxiao and Mo Ying, then turned around and disappeared into the white mist.
And Ling Xiaoxiao stood in place in a daze, her mind flashed about the arraignment that night, and the man's words sounded in her mind, "I have the ability to get you out, and I also have the ability to get you in again-"
This time it was Ling Xiaoxiao's turn pale, it turned out that this was the case, from beginning to end this was just a game, and she was just a chess piece in this game......
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" Mo Ying suddenly felt a little uneasy, Ling Xiaoxiao's state was a little wrong.
Ling Xiaoxiao turned to face him, a bleak smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, "You knew what was going on from the beginning, didn't you?" β
Ink Shadow was stunned, not knowing what to reply to for a while.
"Don't you say yes? Then I'll tell you for you. Ling Xiaoxiao said word by word, "Shizuka was originally someone else's outcast, and you knew from the beginning that not only did you not prevent the thing from happening, but also allowed the other party to throw away the outcast, and finally blamed me, you just want to see who is behind the scenes, and I, and I am stupid to investigate the truth of the whole incident, I am like a fool, do you think I am very easy to fiddle with." β
Mo Ying didn't expect Ling Xiaoxiao to already know, looking at the accusations in her mouth, he couldn't justify it, the whole incident was originally known to them, like this kind of thing, Fengxian Pavilion didn't know how many times it happened from the early days of its establishment to the present, there were people everywhere in the rivers and lakes who coveted Fengxian Pavilion, and they had to be cautious, Shizuka had already been found to be a spy, but they didn't expect that the other party would take the trouble to hide Shizuka in the pavilion for so many years without being noticed, It wasn't until not long ago that he took Ling Xiaoxiao to inadvertently expose the location of the hidden treasure, so that the other party couldn't hold it back, revealing his whereabouts, he wanted to deal with it earlier, but the people behind the scenes hadn't figured it out, they wanted to see who the other party was, but they didn't expect that this time she would be implicated, if it was before, the pavilion master wouldn't care who it was, but this time it was very abnormal, without waiting for the other party to be exposed, the pavilion master personally went to the prison to pick up Ling Xiaoxiao back, and asked her to investigate the truth of the whole thing, the purpose is only for one, let her grow, Mo Ying never thought that the pavilion master would do this for a woman.
