Chapter 73, Repentance
Not to mention that Wang Qi was still on the scene. Wang Qi also knew that it was not Wu Ruijiang who killed Ren Xiuxiu, but that Ren Xiuxiu committed suicide.
Why didn’t Wu Ruijiang tell the truth?
To tell the truth, even if it is difficult to verify, Wu Ruijiang is just an accomplice.
There must be a conspiracy behind them.
Even though the county magistrate did not want to cause trouble and wanted to close the case hastily, he did not dare to fool Wang Qi in front of him.
"Sir, my wife just couldn't accept the fact that ordinary people killed people. She was stimulated and said nonsense. I hope you won't blame her." Wu Ruijiang calmly pleaded with the county magistrate on behalf of Zhu, but did not plead with Wang Qi.
It's not enough to handle it gently. If you get to the bottom of it, the county magistrate can't speak for Wang Qi, so he has to look at Wang Qi.
Wang Qixing finally sat up straight. From the angle of Wu Ruijiang's kneeling position, he could only see his high and stern lower jaw, "I, Wang Qixing, sit upright and do things openly and openly. I always follow orders and act according to the rules.
I never retaliate privately, so what kind of personal grudge can I have against you?"
These words sounded very familiar. When I recalled it, weren't they the words Wu Ruijiang said when he testified before?
Now that Wang Qi quoted him,... everyone in Dumin Village knew that he was shameless in boasting like this.
But the last one, Wu Ruijiang, who said he was upright and upright, just confessed to murdering someone.
Wang Qi... was mocking Wu Ruijiang.
The people in Dumin Village couldn't hold back at all, and their expressions were very ugly.
Wu Ruijiang's expression was also very embarrassing, but he was much more awe-inspiring in front of Wang Qi than when he was facing Chen, "You and I are not worthy enough to sit upright and say this. You have killed Zhongliang and implicated too many innocent people. Of course
Don't forget me. I don't regret setting you up. It's me who failed today... my skills are inferior to others."
Having said this, Wu Ruijiang tilted his head and glanced coldly at Chen Yuan, who was standing behind the Yamen servant.
Most people in the village have secrets, and he knows almost all of them. He also knows the secrets of the Li family. If the little girl spoils his plan, he would like to kill her on the spot. If the secret is revealed in front of the court, it will not hurt her, but will help him.
Of course Wu Ruijiang would not do anything that would harm himself or others.
He was going to die, and those bad people from the Li family continued to trip her up and torture her.
Chen Yuan felt uncomfortable looking at Wu Ruijiang's malicious eyes. It was not her character to avoid being threatened by bad people. Chen Yuan gritted her teeth and glared back.
I cursed Wu Ruijiang in his heart for being crazy.
Wang Qi stretched out his hand and used his sleeves to block the gazes of the two men, who were fighting fiercely in the air. He said disdainfully, "You admit that your skills are inferior to others, why are you glaring at this little girl?"
People who are about to die are not always good at what they say. Adding trouble to others is the last struggle they can do.
Wu Ruijiang smiled innocently, but couldn't hide the malice in his eyes, "One code is another code. If it weren't for her, you would have been in jail, waiting for the queen to interrogate you. She saved you and gave you the chance to rise again as a traitor.
Once you return to Beijing, I don’t know how many loyal ministers and good generals will be killed. She is helping the evil, how can I not hate her."
Chen Yuan: I'm tired, destroy it, hurry up.
Wang Qi held his chin and chuckled as he glanced at the helpless Chen Yuan. Looking at Wu Ruijiang's generous appearance, his face suddenly turned cold. "It turns out that this is the way of righteous men, and they only treat innocent little girls."
Use calculations."
Wu Ruijiang pursed his lips when his thoughts were exposed in public, but he didn't care.
He meant this to the people of Dumin Village. The more Wang Qi defended her, the harder her life would be in the future.
Everyone will classify her as a eunuch. Even if she has the ability to return to Beijing to find her father, she will be cast aside and difficult to be accepted by the family.
Thinking of this, Wu Ruijiang smiled coldly.
Is he despicable? Maybe.
People who help castrate dogs are not worthy of being human beings, they are beasts.
Taking refuge with eunuchs can buy you a moment of glory, but sooner or later you will die without a burial place.
She has a bit of conscience and shouldn't help the eunuch clear his wrongdoing, so she can only blame herself.
Those malicious eyes were really annoying. Wang Qi rubbed Bai Juan in his hand, "Do you think you can keep your secret by talking about him?"
"My secret?" Wu Ruijiang blinked and suppressed the look of surprise before it could emerge, "What secret can I have?"
"You want to sacrifice yourself to protect the secret." Wang Qi smiled confidently, and Wu Ruijiang's heart beat.
He was quite confident before, but now he is a little unsure.
His plan was originally foolproof, and no one knew about it. Even if his fingerprints exposed him, it would not reveal his thoughts.
"Don't even think about defrauding me."
"Fooling you?" Wang Qi shook his head, stood up, walked to Wu Ruijiang's ear and said in a voice that only he could hear, "Now that the plan has begun, everyone who is willing to join the game has joined, and you can't save anyone, they all will die.
."
Fear climbed up his back like a cold snake along his tailbone, making Wu Ruijiang break into a cold sweat.
"Kill me directly. I admire you for being a good man, but you are so roundabout. Guess, when they die, will they blame the little girl, or will they curse you for being a coward and a coward?"
After finishing the final blow, Wang Qi lost interest in the trembling waste.
He suppressed his evil smile, straightened up slowly, turned around and clasped his fists, looking as charming as the moon again, "Your Majesty, since Wu Ruijiang has confessed his crime and is willing to obey the law, and my grievances have been washed away, I will take my leave!"
"Oh, okay." Of course Wu Ruijiang did not kill Ren Xiuxiu, but when Wang Qi said this, Guan Zhixian understood what he meant. Since Wu Ruijiang confessed, let him die.
Let's not get to the bottom of it.
The county magistrate did not think that Wang Qi was turning a big deal into a trivial matter, and he might be planning some big conspiracy behind his back.
But he was just a small county magistrate, and he did not dare to touch the secrets of Dongchang.
As a parent official, County Magistrate Guan knew that he should reveal the truth and explain that Ren Xiuxiu committed suicide and that Wu Ruijiang was just an accomplice and would not be beheaded.
But... if you offend Dongchang, you will die no matter what.
Who knows, he is just a county magistrate, so he should not think about such complicated matters for the time being.
Wang Qi walked out of the court gracefully. This was not the result that the villagers of Dumin Village were happy to see.
But the truth is like a farce. No matter how hard you accept it, the real culprit has already confessed his crime. How can it be the turn of powerless spectators like them to refute.
Even those who were not from Dumin Village, at this moment, they all felt the awe of the adults in the hall and the people of the exile village for this man who had a sickly face but could not hide his handsomeness and noble air.
The crowded crowd seemed to have encountered a drop of water and retreated to both sides.
Wang Qi, as the biggest winner today, received all kinds of looks and walked calmly through the crowd, leaving only a cold and heartless back to everyone.
"In the case of Ren Xiuxiu's murder, the criminal Wu Ruijiang pleaded guilty and was punished..."
Just when everyone thought the case had been concluded, Wu Ruijiang suddenly went crazy and regretted, "No, no, sir, I do not plead guilty! I did not kill Ren Xiuxiu, she committed suicide, she committed suicide..."
Looking at the people, "..."
Guan Zhixian just felt tired and refused to admit it when he asked you to plead guilty. Wang Qi even hinted that he would let you die as he pleased. What are you making a fuss about?
Mrs. Chen pounced on her again. This time she didn't just kick and hit her in an unorganized manner, but directly tore Wu Ruijiang's mouth apart, "Oh, Wu Ruijiang, you killed my daughter, and you falsely accused her of committing suicide, you bastard."
, you must die a good death! I am an innocent daughter, and it is cruel enough for you to torture and kill her. Why do you still want to insult her reputation? Why?"
"Aunt Chen, why don't you let my husband finish what he has to say? He is the most upright and upright person, and he will definitely not lie." No one wanted to get into a certain death situation. Mrs. Zhu stepped forward to stop Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen also tried her best.
She wanted to protect her daughter's reputation, and ended up getting into a scuffle with the two of them in the hall.
"He must have had some reasons for pleading guilty just now. He said that Ren Xiuxiu committed suicide. He definitely committed suicide. He only confessed to protect your daughter's face. He had good intentions, but you beat him. Are there any people as unreasonable as you?
"
"How can you believe the murderer's words? It's the person he killed, not the person he killed. How come there are his fingerprints on the murder weapon!"
"Are you going to sacrifice my husband's life for the sake of your daughter's honor?"
The two women were fighting so hard that they couldn't separate each other. The government officials couldn't take action without orders, so they could only look at the magistrate in the hall.
"Roaring the court, each person has thirty sticks." With Wang Qi gone, Guan Zhixian could be considered to have official authority. He seized the opportunity and threw three red sticks in front of Chen and Zhu respectively.
