Volume I, Chapter 265, Human Witness II
"My lord, the owner, I haven't done this, I don't know why they all came to identify me, I must have been framed, yes, someone must have framed me.
Boss, you help me, I've been working for you for so many years, don't you know who I am? Please, save me, it's really not me."
Kang Lian was already incoherent, crying so much that snot and tears were sticking to his face, looking extremely embarrassed, and the successive evidence seemed to have hammered the fact that he had killed someone.
But he really didn't do it, why did all these people come forward to identify him?
Just as Xu Yunjin was about to speak, Qin Zhutou brought in another person from outside, who was dressed as a medicine boy, presumably from the medical hall.
As soon as everyone saw the two of them, they knew that this matter was not over, and sure enough, as soon as Qin Zhutou came up, he presented Jiang Baiyu with a rag.
"Your Excellency, this rag was found by my subordinates in the secret passage of Yuefu Restaurant, and the color and fabric of the clothes are exactly the same as those worn by Steward Kang today.
In addition, the medicine boy said that two days ago, a man dressed in black went to their pharmacy to buy arsenic and cream when it was almost dark.
Their shopkeeper has just heard of today's murder and has ordered him to come and recognize him."
As soon as Xu Yunjin and Jiang Baiyu heard this, they knew that all the evidence in front of them was arranged by her and Jiang Baiyu.
Now the human and physical evidence is what the other party originally prepared, and the two of them have done so much just to turn against each other logically later.
However, Jiang Baiyu did not particularly conceal the fact that He Yansan had a well-planned plan and was able to hammer Kang Lian to death, but Jiang Baiyu completely guessed He Chong's thoughts.
knew that He Chong didn't want him to be an undercover agent in front of Qi Ren, but wanted to use himself to deal with Taishi Zhao, so he planned it and intervened in it to personally arrange the first few witnesses.
When he got Zhao Ting's letter this morning, he knew that he had guessed correctly, so he pretended not to know that He Yansan had left a flaw in Xu Yunjin.
So far, it's all going according to their plan, and after today, it's time to stage a back-the-net drama.
At the same time, catch the arsonist and the real murderer of the "wealthy businessman", even if he wants to tear his face with Jiang Baiyu, he must let the He family spit blood.
"Someone, check his clothes for the officer."
Kang Lian looked at the rag and retreated, he didn't know when his clothes were torn and when the cloth fell into their hands.
The other party is really a good means, but fortunately, the owner has arranged everything.
The yacha stepped forward to hold down the moving Kang Lian, looked for it, and sure enough, he saw that a small corner was missing from the hem of his clothes, which matched the rag completely.
"It's not mine, it's not my clothes, I'm going to kill you, kill you."
Kang Lian snatched the small piece of clothing and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it in the stunned eyes of everyone, and rushed to the entourage, kicking the person away.
Everyone in and outside the hall was frightened by this scene, and Kang Hu had never seen such a father, crying in Zhong Xiaoting's arms.
Zhong Xiaoting was about to rush in with the child in her arms, but was stopped by the yacha.
After a while, Kang Lian was subdued by the yacha and was held down by several people, and his eyes were staring at the entourage.
But the other party's arrival here is obviously not over yet, Jiang Baiyu looked at the little medicine boy again, he hadn't hammered the source of the poison yet.
"Is it the poison he went to buy?"
Jiang Baiyu looked at the little medicine boy, and the little medicine boy looked at Kang Lian carefully for a while before speaking:
"It was a little late that day, and he was secretive, and the grass people didn't pay attention to his Murong, but when he reached out to take the medicine and give the money, the grass people saw a boxy scar on his right wrist."
At this moment, Xu Yunjin had to admire the other party for arranging things seamlessly, Kang Lian did have such a scar on his hand.
It's not that he can't get rid of it, but he doesn't want to get rid of it, he is an orphan, but he is separated from his family, and the scars on his hands have been there since childhood.
He has always longed to keep this scar to find his family, so even if Xu Yunjin's scar removal cream is touted, he never thought about it
Past except.
The other party even knew this, which shows that the investigation of their family has taken a lot of effort.
This time, without Jiang Baiyu opening his mouth, he pulled off the sleeve of his right hand according to Kang Lian's errand, and sure enough, he saw the scar.
"Kang Lian, what else do you have to say, all kinds of evidence prove that in order to reduce the amount of compensation, you first threatened the other party, but the other party did not comply, and hid for three days before going to the restaurant to get the money.
I didn't think that he had already fallen into your trap, and you killed people ruthlessly, yes or no?"
Jiang Baiyu's face was angry, and the table was shaking with a shocked face, and Kang Lian looked sarcastic, and even bit Xu Yunjin back:
"Hehehe, this is a frame-up for me, even if there is my negligence and the dyeing workshop loses the money, what if it is not Lao Tzu who loses the money, why should I kill him?
Dare to ask the county lord, why didn't the third uncle who usually followed you all day see it today, did he help you do something unseemly?"
Only then did everyone react, yes, the county lord of Wenle usually has a middle-aged escort by his side when he goes out, why is it missing today, and it has been replaced by a few young people.
Jiang Baiyu's face was ugly, his words involved the county lord of Wenle, after all, it was indeed not him who lost the money, and he didn't need to take such a risk.
The people outside the door also thought the same thing, even if the county lord Wenle was annoyed with Kang Lian and drove him away, there was no need for him to kill.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Xu said loudly at the door:
"Lord Qiyu, Xu San's daughter occasionally feels cold, he is at home all day today, our whole village can testify for him, if he lies, my old man will definitely not die well."
Yuan San's entourage is named after Xu to the outside world, Old Man Xu is already so old, and everyone trusts him a little bit in the poisonous oath, after all, everyone has the luxury of living a long life.
"The daughter-in-law of the Kang family, to be fair, did you see Xu San's family in the village early this morning?"
Old Man Xu directly pointed out Zhong Xiaoting's identity on the side, and everyone's eyes moved to her.
Only then did Kang Lian know that his wife and children were also outside the door, and he struggled to stand up, but now he couldn't speak or move, so he could only look at his wife and children with tears in his eyes.
"Yes." Zhong Xiaoting is lying now to no avail, so many people in the village have seen Xu San.
Just when she said this, Kang Lian also seemed to be dead, Zhong Xiaoting hugged the child and burst into tears, she saved others, but she couldn't save her husband and son's father.
Originally, there were some doubts outside the door about whether he was wronged, but at this moment, they all looked at Kang Lian with disdain, what kind of person, when he was dying, he wanted to drag the owner who was kind to him into the water.
"Kang Lian, our Xu family treats you well, why do you still want to bite Ah Jin here?"
Old Man Xu looked angry and waited for Kang Lian to ask.
"Hahaha, I, Kang Lian, once considered myself unlucky today, if I am lucky enough to survive, you can wait for my revenge.
Dongjia, I have followed you for so many years, and you don't trust me at all, it's me Kang Lian who is too stupid, hahaha, poof..."
Kang Lian was already in a crazy state at the moment, and as soon as he finished speaking, he vomited blood in anger, and looked at his entourage and several witnesses as if he was going to slash them all to death.
In the end, Xu Yunjin's eyes were even more resentful.
Jiang Baiyu asked his mouth to be sealed to death, and began to pronounce the sentence:
"The criminal Kang Lian, whose murder is conclusively proven, should be beheaded according to the law, and his first offense shall be pardoned for the death penalty, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and he shall be sentenced to exile to the Lingnan Quarry 3,000 miles away for 30 years of hard labor, and shall be executed on the same day."
Although the people outside the door felt that it was normal to pay off debts and kill people to pay for their lives, they couldn't help but sigh when they saw this kind of scene at this time.
People, don't do bad things, the quarry has served for thirty years, even if it is the second year, the people will be gone, that kind of place is really cannibalism.
After hearing the verdict, everyone wanted to leave, after all, now that the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to discuss it again.
Although Kang Lian was sentenced, he still did not clear the suspicions of the Xu family, and some people still thought in their hearts
It may be that the Xu family instructed him to do it.
Xu Yunjin naturally knew what they thought, so she wouldn't give others a chance to smear the reputation of the Xu family.
So before Jiang Baiyu announced his retirement, Xu Yunjin stopped him.
"Lord Jiang, please slow down."
As soon as Xu Yunjin's voice came out, the people watching the excitement at the door also stopped, all wanting to see what else this Wenle County Lord wanted to do?
"This county lord knows that you all think that it is our Xu family who doesn't want to compensate, so you instructed him to kill someone, right?"
Xu Yunjin looked at the people outside the door and asked, only to see that many people showed strange looks, obviously they thought so.
After all, Kang Lian was right, it wasn't that he lost money, he didn't need to kill.
But Xu Yunjin's own identity and the current influence of the Xu family made them dare not question it, so they chose to shut up.
"Our Xu family has always been committed to doing good deeds, at the beginning I taught sutures and contributed prescriptions for free, although I was awarded the title of county lord, but I also taught the world the means to save my life, which is what I deserve.
Most of the new high-yielding crops that have appeared in recent years are the credit of our family, and although I have been promoted to the rank of county lord, the people have also profited from it.
But the food, supplies, and alcohol that our family sent to the border, the things donated by the snow disaster last year, and the high-quality and cheap fabrics on weekdays, all add up to more than 400,000 taels."
Xu Yunjin looked outside the door and counted the contributions their family has made to the people and the court one by one, and some of the people who said it felt embarrassed and lowered their heads.
She just wants to remind them that our Xu family is rare in everything, that is, money is not rare, don't want to use money as a trick to frame them.
"Although I am young, I have never heard of such a generous family except for the Han family, but our Xu family has only been rising for a few years.
He kept saying that it was my Xu family who didn't want to lose money, but I will tell you clearly today.
My Xu family will not owe anyone a penny, but if anyone dares to have any bad thoughts against my Xu family, the county lord's hands can stitch together to save people, and he can also use a knife to cut people."
Xu Yunjin's eyes were sharp and he glanced at the people outside the door, and Shang Wuwu laughed in his heart when he heard this.
