Everyone's jaws almost dropped when they heard Zhifan's confession!
Zeng Li stepped forward and grabbed his collar, lifted him up, and asked: "You said you are a man?!"
"Your Majesty, what the villain said is true. You can verify your true identity!" Zhifan said.
"How do I know whether you are a boy or a girl?!" Zeng Ci said, "You deliberately concealed it in the first place, so how could I be suspicious?"
"Little County Master, you asked me to dress up as a woman at the beginning, and I couldn't enter the family temple if I didn't do this." Zhifan said, "Not only did you ask me to dress up as a woman and a nun, you also asked me to dress up as a woman at Wuqiu Nunnery a few days ago.
Before, didn’t you let me dress up as a vegetable seller and mix in the crowd?”
I don’t know what means Jiaming Construction and the others used to deal with Zhifan. Now she is telling her truthfully and without any tricks.
Zeng Ci's heart sank, but she still refused to die.
"Zhifan, I don't know how many benefits they have given you, but today I finally see clearly that you are a thief with evil intentions! I don't expect you to remember the old kindness, but I asked you, and you kept saying that it was me who instigated it.
Do you have any evidence?"
"You went to the temple that day and dismissed everyone, leaving only you and me in the room. You personally told me to kill the Lord of Jiaming County, but you never wrote me a letter to convey the news, because you had already said that the Dharma would not be passed on.
Six ears." Zhifan said.
"That's enough, stop slandering me. The only purpose of getting me some groundless charges is to kill me." Zeng Ci said with a cold face, "I am innocent, I know it in my heart. You are the ones who
It’s useless no matter how much dirty water you throw at me!”
"Zeng Ci, do you know this thing?" Someone from the Zhongqin County Prince's Palace came over carrying a palm-sized cage on a bamboo pole.
There is a snake trapped inside. Although it is only as thick as chopsticks, its intricate black and white patterns make it daunting to see.
"This is Sun Duoshou's snake. If you let him use this snake to kill me, it will be like killing Meng Qiao." The head of Jiaming County said, "I just want to know that Meng Qiao's true identity has been exposed. How should he kill me?"
Leave it to the government to decide, why do you want to abuse lynching? Or why do you want to kill people and silence them?"
"You're talking nonsense! Why did I kill Meng Qiao? I hope she pleads guilty and faces justice." Zeng Ci first glanced at Ke Wangchen quickly, and then argued with reason.
"You were the one who deceived Meng Qiao, right?" County Lord Jiaming asked with a smile, "Mr. Ke, can you testify to this?"
"Yes," Ke Wangchen nodded, "Not only can I testify, but Sister Xu and Sister Jiang can also testify."
Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan were also invited today, but from the beginning of the scene, they sat quietly watching the scene and did not participate.
"Don't be surprised, everyone, this Sun Duoshou knows a lot. When we interrogated him yesterday, he told everything he knew. Only then did we find out that Zeng Ci not only wanted to kill me, but also killed Meng Qiao
, and even others." After looking around for a week, the head of Jiaming County looked at Zhifan and said, "Tell me about killing Meng Qiao first!"
"Last month outside Wuqiu Temple, I followed the instructions of the little county boss and dressed up as a vegetable seller carrying a basket. In fact, there was still this snake hidden in the basket.
After the chaos broke out, I took the opportunity to get close to Meng Qiao and released the snake. The snake bit her on her calf. Because it is extremely venomous, a person who has been poisoned by the snake's venom will die within three steps," Zhifan said.
People present at the time did indeed see that there were two small tooth holes on Meng Qiao's calf.
"It's not me! Wangchen, you have to believe me!" Zeng Ci looked at Ke Wangchen, her eyes filled with tears.
Outsiders may not understand why Meng Qiao died so quickly? What does her death have to do with Zeng Ci?
But Ke Wangchen would immediately become suspicious of her, because what Zeng Ci told him at the beginning was that he suspected that Meng Qiao was behind the scenes and stole Cen Yunchu away.
At that time, Zeng Ci stood up and confronted Meng Qiao, but Meng Qiao never admitted his crime.
According to reason, Meng Qiao should be sent to the government first, where he would be interrogated carefully and convicted.
But Meng Qiao suddenly died unexpectedly, and someone apparently silenced him.
At that time, some people believed that the people behind Meng Qiao prevented her from telling her identity, so she was silenced.
And if Zeng Ci really did this, she certainly wanted to silence her.
I just don’t want people to know that it was not Cen Yunchu who was kidnapped by Meng Qiao.
The reason why Zeng Ci wanted to blame Meng Qiao for this incident was also to clear himself.
She knew that if she didn't do this, Ke Wangchen would keep tracing who killed his sister.
"Zeng Ci, Zeng Ci, stop pretending to be pitiful. Meng Qiao's body is still there!" The head of Jiaming County gave her another blow, "We can find the official's autopsy to check it out.
I know if it was bitten by this snake."
"So what? Even if it is really this snake, it was Sun Duoshou who did it." Zeng Ci's mother stepped forward to protect her daughter, "Even if my daughter is wrong, it is just that she cannot recognize people.
She has been kind since she was a child, so how could she be so defensive? You have done enough! My daughter is also the head of the county! I bet you are here to set up a private court!"
When Zeng Ci heard what her mother said, she immediately threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.
Princess Zeng was naturally distressed. While hugging her daughter, she looked at Ke Wangchen coldly and said: "They are so aggressive, but you don't respond to Ah Ci at all. It is in vain that she is so infatuated with you! Li'er, Ah Nian, Ah Ci, we
go back!"
Unexpectedly, Ke Wangchen stood in front of them and refused to let them go: "Those who are pure will themselves be cleansed. It's better to make some things clear now."
"Wangchen, what do you mean?" Zeng Li was anxious, "Are you also suspicious of Ah Ci?"
"I don't suspect anyone, I just want to know who kidnapped my sister!" Ke Wangchen looked directly at Zeng Li, like a stubborn calf.
"The Qing Dynasty will be Qing Dynasty. Don't be impatient. If I have wronged the Lord of Qinxi County, I am willing to kowtow to apologize, right?" said the Lord of Jiaming County.
"Prince Zhongqin," Princess Zeng ignored Prince Jiaming and spoke directly to Prince Zhongqin, "If you falsely accuse my daughter, what will happen?"
"I personally went to your mansion to plead guilty," the prince said.
"Well, let's make it clear here. My daughter is pure and innocent and cannot tolerate the slightest stain!" Princess Zeng said.
"Sun Duoshou, tell me everything you know. Don't add any fuel or jealousy, and don't hide anything." Ke Wangchen looked back at Sun Duoshou and said.
"The villain has said it a long time ago, and there is absolutely no lie. I was caught anyway, and I can only wait for death. There is no need to lie." Sun Duoshou answered happily, "The reason why the little county master let me
He killed Meng Qiao because he wanted her to take the blame. Of course I also know why he did this. After all, she fell in love with you and wanted to get engaged to you."
