Without waiting for Xu Yan to answer, Hang Ji waved his hand, and the four guards behind Hang Ji immediately flew away, and disappeared into the night in a moment.

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling that Hang Ji was already a little crazy because of the loss of his son and grandson, and shouted angrily: "Hang Ji, don't deceive people too much, my son doesn't know anything about me, he doesn't know anything, if you dare to touch him, I won't let you go." ”

Hang Ji was also angry: "I can't touch your son, you can kill my grandson?" Your son is expensive, and my grandson is cheap? Your son is innocent, but my grandson is at fault? Why do you want to kill my grandson, he is just a baby, and he is innocent and ignorant, why do you want to do it to him? ”

Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Hang Ji had gone crazy with grief and anger, and he would not let himself go tonight, since he could not escape death, why should he take his son's life again? It's just that he died like this, and he was a little unwilling, he shouldn't have provoked the Hang family in the first place, and it was too late to regret it at the moment, since there was no way out, he would use his own life to save the lives of his son and his family.

Xu Yan made up his mind, looked up at Hang Ji, and took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I admit it, Hang Zuoxu was killed by Wen Tian." It was all because of Zuo Peipei, who stole the secret accounts I had bribed the court officials and the private correspondence I had exchanged with the court officials. Zuo Peipei threatened me accordingly, asking me to let her live, and go to Hang's house to help her get Hang Zuoxu back, and she would take Hang Zuoxu far away from Jinzhou. Zuo Peipei also said that if she or Hang Zuoxu had any accidents, someone would hand over the secret account letter to the imperial court, and at that time, not only would my future be ruined, but my life would not be guaranteed.

But letting Zuo Peipei leave with a secret letter is always a hidden danger to me. I pondered for a night, pondering, Zuo Peipei can't have an accident, otherwise I may never be able to find those secret account letters, if the secret account letters fall into the hands of the court, I will definitely die. Can.. If Hang Zuo Xu dies and there is a clear murderer, Zuo Peipei can't blame me. And Zuo Peipei will be sad and lose hope when he loses his young son, and he will definitely beg me to severely punish the real murderer, and even if he doesn't care about his own life, he will avenge Hang Zuoxu. I was able to negotiate with Zuo Peipei on the terms and force her to hand over the secret account letter. ”

Xu Yan turned his head to glance at Yan Jin, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he sighed: "The most suitable candidate for killing Hang Zuoxu and making Zuo Peipei undoubted is Hang Zhirong's wife Yan Jin." After all, Hang Zuoxu was born illegitimate to Hang Zhirong and other women, and in the eyes of others, Yan Jin will definitely hate Zuo Peipei and Hang Zuoxu. But in court that day, I saw Yan Jin's gaze on Hang Zuoxu's face, and I felt that Yan Jin not only didn't hate Hang Zuoxu, but also seemed to love Hang Zuoxu very much, so I had a plan.

Yesterday morning, when I took Hang Zuoxu away from Hang's house, I deliberately sprinkled some medicinal powder on Hang Zuoxu's neck, which made Hang Zuoxu have eczema. Zuo Peipei was worried about Hang Zuoxu's safety, so he naturally didn't dare to hurry up, and he would stay in Jinzhou for a few more days. As I expected, Zuo Peipei stayed at the Yuanying Inn.

I knew that Yan Jin had never given birth to a child, so I forged a letter, assuming that Zuo Peipei was terminally ill and wanted to hand over Hang Zuoxu to Yan Jin to raise, so that Yan Jin would meet at the Yuanying Inn after dinner. Yan Jin really went to the Yuanying Inn. Wen Tian has been staring around the Yuanying Inn, and when he saw Yan Jin coming to the Yuanying Inn from a distance, Wen Tian quickly came to Zuo Peipei's room and stunned Zuo Peipei and the maid Huan'er with a smoke pipe. Then he entered the house and covered Hang Zuoxu with a cotton pillow, and deliberately left the cotton pillow on Hang Zuoxu's face, half-covering the door and leaving. Later, in front of the inn, Wen Tian pretended to bump into Yan Jin unintentionally, and took the opportunity to stuff the smoke pipe of Zuo Peipei and others who were stunned on Yan Jin.

Yan Jin came to the door of Zuo Peipei's room, saw the door ajar, and walked directly into the room. At this time, Wen Tian returned to the Yuanying Inn and saw that Xiao Er was carrying a teapot to bring tea to a guest in the corridor, and deliberately threw a piece of broken silver at the feet of the little er. Xiao Er stepped on the broken silver, fell to the ground, and the teapot also fell to the ground and cracked, leading Zuo Peipei to go out from Lu Geng to check.

In Zuo Peipei's room, Yan Jin saw the cotton pillow covering Hang Zuoxu's face, worried about Hang Zuoxu's safety, and hurriedly walked to the side of the bed to remove the cotton pillow. This scene was seen by Lu Geng, who broke into the room, and Lu Geng took it for granted that Yan Jin killed Hang Zuoxu and Zuo Peipei in anger because of jealousy. Because Lu Geng appeared in time, Zuo Peipei escaped.

And Jian Xuan found the hole in the window paper, and found the smoke pipe on Yan Jin's body, and even decided that Yan Jin had stunned Zuo Peipei and others, and then waited for the opportunity to kill Zuo Peipei and Hang Zuoxu.

Unexpectedly, our plan has just come to fruition, making Yan Jin a scapegoat. And in the drunken restaurant, I fell for Yan Jin's scheme at the same time, and she also made me a murder suspect. Xu Yan glanced at Yan Jin again, and smiled bitterly: "You and I smell the same, and we don't owe each other." ”

Xu Yan looked at Hang Ji again and said: "Lord Hang, I am indeed forced to be helpless, if I can't get back the secret account letter from Zuo Peipei, I will be killed at any time, so I will be fascinated for a while and use Hang Xiaogongzi to get out of danger." Since I can't escape death today, I will go down now to make amends to Hang Xiaogongzi, please raise your noble hand and let my son and my family live. After all, I am at fault with the grievances with the Hang family, and Hang Zhirong is also at fault, isn't it?

What's more, people can't be resurrected after death, Hang Xiaogongzi was murdered by me, and Hang Dazi killed me, which can be regarded as revenge for Hang Xiaogongzi to relieve the hatred in his heart. But if you kill my son, you can only add to the sins of Hang Xiaogongzi, please be magnanimous and spare my son's life? ”

Hang Ji stared at Xu Yan and didn't speak, Xu Yan's eyes were panicked, and he was about to speak again, when he suddenly heard Congxi's voice coming from afar: "I didn't expect that Xu Zhifu also believed in the retribution of sin, so why bother in the first place?" ”

Xu Yan was suspicious, turned his head to look, and saw more than a dozen people walking out from behind the mound next to him, and the last few people were holding torches and wearing the clothes of the official government, but it was not Jinzhou fast, it seemed to be the provincial government. Xu Yan fixed his eyes again, and the person who walked in front was actually the provincial government Zheng Inspector, and there were Jian Xuan, Qu Zaichen, Congxi, Lan Chu, Hua Yue, Jiang Dairou, Zuo Peipei, the maid Huan'er, and the escort Lu Geng on the left and right sides of the Zheng Inspector.

Everyone walked straight to Hang Ji's side, Hang Ji had already stood up, and bowed to Inspector Zheng: "I have seen Inspector Zheng, and I am fortunate to live up to my trust." ”

Inspector Zheng also clenched his fists and saluted back: "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Hang." ”

Hang Ji: "Don't dare, the victim is my son and grandson, and I also want to thank Inspector Zheng for informing the Hang family of the real murderer, giving me the opportunity to confess to the real murderer, and I can be regarded as avenging my son and grandson with my own hands." ”

Inspector Zheng pushed the envoy: "This official doesn't dare to be greedy for merit, and the person who sees through the clues of the real murderer is Lord Jian Xuan, the official of Jinzhou." Taking advantage of Lord Hang's past prestige, I asked Lord Hang to act out tonight's big scene, which is realistic and honest about the crime, which is also Lord Jane's clever strategy. When the official came to Jinzhou, he had no credit except for watching a good show. The case of the Jinzhou prefect who murdered and perverted the law was the easiest case handled by this official. ”

Hang Ji: "Jinzhou has a large number of talents, and it is also a good thing that Inspector Zheng will work less. ”

Inspector Zheng said with a smile: "What Lord Hang said is that if there are more capable ministers and clean ministers like Lord Jian in the imperial court, and less corrupt officials like Xu Yan, it will be the blessing of our dynasty and the blessing of the people." ”

Hang Ji echoed: "What Inspector Zheng said is true. Hang Ji then clasped his fists and saluted Jian Xuanshen and said, "Thank you Lord Jian for my son and grandson Zhaoxue's grievances and finding the real culprit." Hang Zhiyao, Hang Zhiyue, and Hang Zhitong also gave a slight salute to Jian Xuan, especially Hang Zhitong, looking at Jian Xuan, his eyes flashed with strange brilliance.

Jian Xuan hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Lord Hang doesn't need to say thank you, Jian Xuan is just a duty, and he does his duty." Jian Xuan also had to thank Lord Hang for his full help, so that he could realistically confess to the crime. ”

Hang Ji: "Lord Jane is polite, the victims are my son and grandson, I have the opportunity to contribute, let the real murderer subdue the law, what I can't ask for, how dare I be a thank you word to Lord Jane." ”

Inspector Zheng answered: "No matter what, it is a good thing for us that the real murderer confesses to the crime. The drama is over, pull them all out. ”

When several Hang family guards with shovels in their hands heard this, they immediately shoveled and dug up, and in less than a moment, they pulled Yan Jin, Hua Lu, Hua Song, Xu Yan, and Wen Tian to the ground.

Yan Jin, Hua Lu, Hua Song, Xu Yan, and Wen Tian heard the conversation between Inspector Zheng, Hang Ji, and Jian Xuan, and they all understood that they had been tricked. Hang Ji didn't want to bury them alive by private torture at all, he just wanted to force them to confess to their crimes. In other words, Jian Xuan and others guessed the truth of the matter, but there was no definite evidence, so they asked Hang Ji to come forward, act for them, and force them to confess themselves. Then ask Inspector Zheng to eavesdrop on the side, so that they have no chance to retract their confessions, which is really hateful.
