"If you touch it, the soles of your feet will grow moss. If you want to throw Zhao Zhiwen's body into the pond, you will definitely step on the algae. When you fished out Zhao Zhiwen's body, you did not go into the pond, nor did you approach the edge of the pond. So, if you take off your shoes, you will see it clearly.
”
After listening to her, several officials rolled up their sleeves and prepared to take off Liu Zhinan's shoes.
Liu Zhinan took a few steps back.
He hurriedly dodged.
"I did not kill anyone!"
One would not shed a tear until one sees the coffin.
Jing Rong had long lost his patience. He raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Liu Zhinan, now that the evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it?"
"I … I did not."
"Take off your shoes and you will know."
"Why would I kill anyone? Why did I kill Zhao Zhiwen? "
"Because of a murder case that happened three years ago." Jing Rong's eyes flashed with cold anger.
As soon as he said this, Liu Zhinan's cheeks trembled.
His eyes widened in shock.
"A murder case that happened three years ago? Which case is this? " The Minister of Justice searched his mind. None of the cases he took over three years ago were related to Liu Zhinan.
Jing Rong narrowed his sharp eyes. His steps were as sharp as a blade as he approached Liu Zhinan. "Do you still remember Di Feng's death three years ago?"
Di Feng!
The president of the Chamber of Commerce.
He died suddenly three years ago.
Liu Zhinan felt as if he had been stabbed in the back. He was stunned.
How did it relate to the case from three years ago?
How did it relate to Di Feng?
The Minister of Justice asked, "Your Highness, what is going on?" Jing Rong frowned. He looked at Liu Zhinan, who did not dare to look him in the eye. "That year, you did not hesitate to poison Di Feng for the position of president. You did not expect Zhao Zhiwen to find out. However, he did not report it to the authorities. Instead, he used your weakness to make you work for him for the rest of your life.
All these years, whether it was gambling or visiting brothels, you were the one who paid off all the money he owed. After entering the capital, he owed a hundred thousand taels of silver to the gambling house. In the end, you were the one who paid off all the money. You were unwilling and wanted to kill him many times, but you could not find the right opportunity. It was not until the murder of Jiao Shiniang and Xing Xiyang happened that you stopped him. He owed the gambling house twenty thousand taels of silver and asked you to prepare the money for him the day before. So, you used the excuse of giving him the money to invite him to your room. As for what you discussed, that is another matter. In short, you stalled for time until midnight. When the time was up, you gave him the money. When he passed by the kitchen on his way back to his courtyard, you took advantage of the fact that he was defenseless to cut his throat with a sharp, curved knife. It was a fatal blow. You cleaned up the blood stains and carried him to the pond behind Wenlai Pavilion. All these things happened because you killed Di Feng three years ago.
The wind started to blow. “
He had said it clearly and clearly.
Liu Zhinan was tongue-tied. "I …" The next moment, Jing Rong took out a yellowed letter from his sleeve and held it between his fingers. He said coldly, "You would never have guessed that Zhao Zhiwen had always been prepared. He was worried that one day, you would take his life in order to cover up the truth. So, he had already written a letter in secret.
If you die, that letter will immediately be sent to the Supreme Court of Justice in the capital. In it, he has already revealed all of your crimes. "
Liu Zhinan did not hesitate and rushed forward to snatch the letter from Jing Rong.
Before he could get close to Jing Rong, he was caught by him and thrown to the ground.
Jing Rong sat on the ground, his face ashen.
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"
Jing Rong clutched at his robe and panicked for a long time.
"I admit it!" Jing Rong said.
He no longer struggled. He raised his sinister and dark eyes and said, "Yes, I was the one who killed him. Back then, if it wasn't for Di Feng secretly bribing me, the position of the Head President would have been mine. I never would have thought that the person who talked about fairness with me had already set up the heavens and earth. I was like an idiot. I couldn't accept it, and in a fit of anger, I poisoned his tea. But I never thought that Zhao Zhiwen would actually find out afterwards. He threatened me again and again. In these three years, I don't even know how much silver I've given him! How many times have I cleaned up after him? Yes, I did want to kill him many times, but in order to become President, I could only endure.
Now that I've become the Head Guild Leader, I can only endure. Originally, I thought that the position of the Head President would definitely belong to me. However, Xing Xiyang also learned from Di Feng and bribed officials. That was why I purposely reminded him when I bumped into Lord Ji at the door that day. However, Zhao Zhiwen threatened me not to become the Head President. Otherwise, he would kill me!
I couldn't take it anymore. Fortunately, the incident between Jiao Shiniang and Xing Xiyang happened. I knew that my chance had come, so I took advantage of the situation and killed him. I thought I could wash my hands clean of this matter, but I didn't expect that you would still find out.
It turns out that when a person does something wrong, he will really suffer retribution. "
He laughed mournfully, regretting his past actions.
A pitiful person must have a hateful side.
Therefore, bribery was not an option. Otherwise, he would suffer retribution sooner or later.
Liu Zhinan personally confessed all his crimes, saving the Ministry of Justice the time to interrogate him one by one.
Then, Jing Rong threw the letter in front of him.
The piece of paper fell.
Liu Zhinan immediately reached out to grab it and opened it.
Inside … was only a blank piece of paper.
What happened?
He raised his head and looked at Jing Rong in bewilderment.
Jing Rong's gaze deepened. "In fact, I didn't know that you were related to Di Feng's case three years ago. I only made a guess based on the cause and effect. I didn't expect that a piece of paper would make you confess to your crimes."
'Damn it!'
Liu Zhinan slapped himself a few times.
He thought that he was smarter than others, but in the end, he still dug a hole for himself.
In the end, tears fell like rain.
The case was finally solved.
At this time, the sky was already dark.
When she returned to the Rong Estate, her body couldn't support itself anymore. She drank some medicine and went to bed, leaning against the wall.
Without a case, her body felt light.
Jing Rong sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her with deep affection.
He reached out and tucked the stray hairs on her forehead behind her ear. He gently said, "When your body is better, we will leave the capital."
She smiled faintly and nodded, but her eyes became gloomy again.
"Can't bear to part with him?"
