Chapter 165: Confession
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
"You heard it right, it's not just the hairpin, it's my hairpin." Bai Zhi smiled at Lu Ning, this smile had her usual gentleness and harmlessness, but when this smile fell into Lu Ning's eyes, there were more layers of incomprehensible coldness and ridicule.
Lu Ning didn't speak, just looked at her.
Bai Zhi smiled again, "It's strange to say, how could my hairpin become the murder weapon that killed Hongsheng, do you know?" ”
Lu Ning sighed in her heart, and even she felt that the other party had seen through her thoughts, the uneasiness in her eyes intensified little by little, her fingers clenched tighter and tighter, and her emotions completely fell into Bai Zhi's eyes, and she sighed in her heart.
"How can I know, these things will naturally be found out by people in the government, how can I, a woman, know so much."
Bai Zhi smiled softly, seeing that her expression was still nervous, she reached out and picked up the teacup again, and then suddenly let go, the teacup suddenly fell, and a crisp sound sounded in the room.
"Ahh
At the same time, there was a woman's exclamation, and Lu Ning stood up with a pale face, as if she had been frightened by something.
"Aunt Green, what's wrong, I just missed a teacup, did it scare you?" Seeing her walk over like this, Bai Zhi stretched out her hand to hold her wrist, and said softly when she approached her, "When Hongshang died, a woman happened to see it, and that woman Lord Lu had already sent someone to take her to the mansion, and now she lives in Yilan Courtyard, and she will only wait until the day she passes through the hall to identify the murderer." ”
Lu Ning trembled obviously, and fear rose in her eyes a little, how could she be seen, she was already very careful at that time, there was no one around at all, impossible, impossible to be seen at all.
"Impossible!" She regretted this subconscious sentence as soon as she opened her mouth, and then she really saw the smile on Bai Zhi's face, forced herself to slow down, and she said, "If there is evidence, how can the adult not clear my sister's guilt for so long." ”
Bai Zhi leaned on her ear and spoke, "Naturally, it's to wait for me to come back, you don't know how much adults care about me, you must wait for me to come back and watch the person who harmed me be punished." ”
The emotions on Lu Ning's face changed several times, and finally calmed down a little, and only after a while did she speak, "Then I will first congratulate my sister on the fact that she will be cleared of her guilt soon, I am not feeling well, so I won't keep my sister more." ”
Bai Zhi got up to leave, and when she was about to turn around, she said, "Now there are only two of us in the backyard, and we are bored during the day, so I will come to talk to you again tomorrow." ”
Lu Ning frowned, and smiled at the corners of her mouth for a while, "If my sister doesn't dislike my sister's simplicity, she is naturally welcome at any time." ”
Originally, Bai Zhi was only suspicious, because when the crowd swept her away, she almost fell down for a moment, it was Lu Ning who helped her behind her, and the closest contact between them was only that one.
She wasn't actually sure if this was done by Lu Ning, and in her selfish heart she still hoped that she had misunderstood, so even though she remembered it, she didn't tell anyone about it, she just came in person, and she had to see Lu Ning's reaction before she could judge.
After coming out of the green courtyard, she didn't go back, and stood in the back garden for a long time, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.
She asked herself if she had done anything to be sorry for Lu Ning, and even if Lord Lu gave her the right to be a housekeeper, she had never treated anyone harshly, but this would make Lu Ning frame her like this.
This mood lasted until Lord Lu came back in the evening, she still had no energy, her always good appetite was gone, and she couldn't eat it with just half a bowl of rice.
Lord Lu asked her, but she didn't want to say it, but it was obvious that something was wrong like this.
In the end, Lord Lu couldn't ask Xiao Bottle, and only then did she know that she had gone to see Lu Ning in the afternoon, and she had been in a bad mood since she came back.
Inside the house, the candle flame was burning and the wax oil was dripping, Bai Zhi was lying by the window, the window was propped up, she looked at the dark night outside and didn't know what to think.
Someone approached behind her, she subconsciously leaned towards the person, and before Lu Zhiyuan could ask, she spoke first, "I don't understand, I haven't hurt anyone, why did she hurt me." ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, "Maybe it's because you're in the way of some people." ”
Bai Zhi didn't understand, she looked up at the man in front of her, and when she saw him looking worried at her, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, she didn't say anything, just leaned quietly in his arms.
Lu Zhiyuan originally wanted to solve this matter, Lu Ning's matter didn't need much trouble at all, since it was determined that it was her, as long as she was strictly interrogated, there would always be results.
But Bai Zhi did not agree to let him intervene, but decided to solve the matter by herself.
Lu Zhiyuan watched his little aunt finally decide to grow up little by little, and he couldn't say how he felt in his heart, it was good to grow up after all.
Bai Zhi's plan is not complicated, she just really arranged a woman to live in the Yilan Courtyard, and by the way, she released the news that the woman saw the killing of Hongshang.
Lu Ning really couldn't sit still, and took advantage of the darkness to send a bowl of chicken soup to Yilan Courtyard, and deadly poison was put in the chicken soup.
She is not stupid, the maid who delivered the chicken soup was the little maid who did rough work outside the front door, and the little maid was caught as soon as she entered the door, but the person who came out after the interrogation made her frown.
Purple clothes.
This name Bai Zhi is unfamiliar, but when it comes to the cowardly little maid next to Hongsheng, it is familiar again.
Bai Zhi asked people to bring Ziyi to interrogate, and Ziyi confessed to what she had done, not only admitting that she instructed people to kill people, but even confessed to the crime of killing Hongshang.
"Do you know that murder is to pay for your life, you are Aunt Hong's maid, why do you want to murder your master?"
Ziyi raised her face, her face was full of coldness when she mentioned the red dress, she reached out and rolled up her sleeves, only to see that the next door that should have been fine white was full of bruises and purple mottled scars, as well as a few deep and shallow scars and pinholes, which looked very shocking, "She should be damned, she has to beat and scold us people every day to be angry, in her eyes our lives are not as good as a dog, I hate her, so I want to kill her." ”
Bai Zhi looked at her gritted teeth, although she didn't believe that this could be done by her little maid, she still asked, "You said you killed Aunt Hong, then let me ask me how you did it?" ”
Speaking kung fu said that Lu Ning was coming, Bai Zhi frowned, and the news was quite fast.
Lu Ning entered the room, and the purple clothes on the ground subconsciously glanced at her, but Lu Ning didn't look at her, but smiled at Bai Zhi, "I heard that the murderer of Sister Hongshang has been caught, let me see who is so bold." ”
She said as if she had just seen the purple clothes, "Is that her?" ”
Bai Zhi looked at Ziyi and then at Lu Ning, and smiled, "Aunt Lu is well-informed, I just caught someone here, and you received the news." ”
Lu Ning's face froze, and she smiled again after a while, "It's just that I was greedy at night, so I asked Tong Er to go to the kitchen to see if there was still food, and when she came back, she heard some movement and said that I listened." ”
"Oh, just by this little movement, you can think that the murderer has been caught, and Aunt Green is very smart." Bai Zhi said with a smile.
Lu Ning laughed dryly, and before she could speak, Ziyi, who was kneeling on the ground, interrupted their conversation, "It's me, I killed someone, you can arrest me and see the official." ”
"Now that she has pleaded guilty, let's hand it over to the government as soon as possible." Lu Ning said, and the obvious purple clothes shrank back, obviously she was afraid.
Bai Zhi smiled, "It's not in a hurry, even if you want to send it to the government, Brother Ming will have to send it early in the morning, where will it be sent in the middle of the night." ”
Lu Ning laughed, "It's still my sister who is thoughtful." ”
"Ziyi, do you know that killing people pays for your life." Bai Zhi sighed lightly, and there seemed to be some pity in her voice, "You are still so young, you have just started your life, why bother." ”
Ziyi bit her lip, she was ready to die when she knelt here today, so she calmed down after a short period of fear, "I don't regret it, if I don't do it, sooner or later I will be beaten to death by Aunt Hong." ”
"I heard that the Yamen side treats murderers with extreme cruelty, and they have to be closed for half a month before they pass through the court, and during this half month, they have to be whipped ten times a day, and the sun does not shine in that cell for many years, and they eat and drink Lazar in one place, and when they sleep, rats will crawl over them......" The more she said about it, the more ugly Ziyi's face became, and she continued as if she hadn't noticed, "It's a pity that you killed someone, if you were wronged, naturally you don't have to suffer like this." ”
Ziyi hesitated again, she subconsciously looked at Lu Ning, but only saw a pair of cold eyes.
"You kid, you're really stupid, don't you know how to worry your family by doing this." Lu Ning said and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Speaking of her family, Ziyu's face froze, and her face, which was still a little hesitant just now, suddenly became extremely firm, she knelt on the ground and said, "I did kill someone, no matter what punishment I received, I don't regret it." ”
"In that case, let's take it down first, and wait for Brother Ming to hand it over to the government early in the morning." Bai Zhi said and waved her hand, she turned her head to look at Lu Ning and said, "Aunt Green is really bloody for a while, and she knows what to say to make people make up their minds." ”
Lu Ning shook her head, her face puzzled, "Sister, forgive my sister for being stupid, I didn't understand. It's not too early for this time, my sister is not in good health yet, and she is tired after coming out for so long, so she will leave first. ”
"Sister walks slowly, it's hard to walk at night, be careful."
"Sister Xie cares."
Looking at Lu Ning's back, she held her breath directly in her heart, everything was going well with the plan, but she never expected that a purple cloth would come out halfway and take all the charges away.
She knew that things were inseparable from Lu Ning, but she couldn't do anything with her.
Ziyi pleaded guilty, then naturally there is nothing to do with Lu Ning, as long as Ziyi does not regret this matter, it is a foregone conclusion.
After returning to the courtyard, Lord Lu was reading a book, and when he saw her coming back with a calm face, he knew that things must not be going well, and after asking about the situation, he said, "Have you ever wondered why Ziyi immediately confessed in a hurry when she heard about her family." ”
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, she really didn't think about it, she felt that something was wrong just now, and as soon as she was reminded by Lord Lu, she immediately understood, "Are you saying that Lu Ning used Ziyi's family as a threat?" ”
