Chapter 144 Looking for evidence and secret passage
The disaster is right in front of us, and the evidence is conclusive.
Xu Guangzheng and others wanted to defend Sun Mingxing, but there was no way.
"Master Sun, what else do you have to say now?
I remember that you were quite diligent and conscientious in the past, but this is your first offense.
When we escort you back to the capital, we will intercede with you in front of the emperor.
Try to preserve the Sun family bloodline, and you must plead guilty..."
This is a hint to Sun Mingxing that he must not talk nonsense.
Now that things have happened, Sun Mingxing also knows that there is nothing he can do to save his life.
He stared at Su Jinxiu, wishing he could tear her flesh and blood into pieces.
He had been smart all his life, but was defeated by a yellow-haired girl. He was really unwilling to accept it.
With a sudden force, he spat out the rag in his mouth and screamed to the sky.
"I am aware of my crime, and I would like to ask the prince and all your lords to escort me back to the capital immediately.
Talk to the emperor well and apologize..."
The three of them were obviously relieved when they heard this.
"Your Majesty, then we will take him..."
As long as people return to the capital, everything is still under control.
Xiao Jingze curled his lips mockingly and looked around.
"So, this king said, let you go?
Tan Mo has so much disaster money, but you want to sacrifice him and save the others?
Do you think I look like a fool?"
Xu Guangzheng blushed when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, the three of us are supervising this case.
Logically speaking, you shouldn't ask too many questions.
Now the three of us have decided to escort the person back to the capital.
You have no reason to snatch people away from us.
Unless the prince has a case involving Sun Mingxing."
Xiao Jingze sneered and stepped forward with his hands behind his back.
"Can't you see that Mr. Shouxiang is also so anxious?
Even the King of Hell cannot take away the people I want to keep..."
This is to completely break up with them.
Of course he is not afraid, since there have been many memorials to impeach him over the years.
Not bad, this one contains two letters.
"Your Majesty..."
Xu Guangzheng was very angry, and another voice spoke together with him.
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has something to report."
Su Jinxiu stepped forward and slowly knelt down.
Xiao Jingze moved his hand slightly and glanced at the doctor who had followed him to watch the excitement.
"explain."
The doctor panicked and didn't know what he meant.
Su Jinxiu looked up at Xiao Jingze and spoke loudly.
"The daughter of the people wanted to report, but Mr. Sun killed innocent people indiscriminately in order to protect himself.
They have killed more than a hundred people, and I beg the prince to seek justice for them."
When Sun Mingxing heard this, his face immediately turned pale.
"Su Jinxiu, you fart.
Who doesn't know that you are related to the regent? In order to make a contribution to him, you slandered me like this?
Three adults, don't let her deceive you.
Xiaguan's mother was kind-hearted and believed in Buddhism. Xiaguan was also influenced by her and always had a compassionate heart.
In order to pray for blessings, a Buddhist hall was set up in the house.
He also took in many refugees in his house and provided them with food and clothing.
Don’t seek a clear conscience, but seek peace of mind.
Being greedy for money is indeed a moment of confusion.
How could he commit such a heinous crime?"
The money was hidden at home, and when it was found, he could not argue.
But those dead people have all turned into ashes, so there will definitely be no problems.
Xu Guangzheng frowned and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, this matter involves you.
There is no evidence, let me see..."
Xiao Jingze waved his hand, signaling Xu Guangzheng to step aside.
"The first assistant is right next to it, it's nice to see."
Grinding his teeth, he stepped forward and pulled Su Jinxiu up.
"You said Sun Mingxing killed innocent people indiscriminately, is there any evidence?"
Su Jinxiu wiped the cold sweat from her face and nodded.
“Some time ago, a fire broke out in a ruined temple outside the city, and all the refugees in the temple were burned to death.
Later, the county government ordered the bodies to be burned on the spot, citing fear of the spread of the disease.
I thought something was strange at that time, so I hid two corpses..."
Sun Mingxing was shocked and defended loudly.
"Everyone in the city knows that the fire was just an accident.
Who knows if you tampered with the body when you hid it privately?"
Xiao Jingze glanced at Sun Mingxing displeasedly, and his tone was cold.
"Don't force me, I will kill you now.
Be quiet..."
Before anyone could recover, an afterimage flew out and removed Sun Mingxing's jaw.
Immediately, he flew away again, so fast that he came and went like the wind.
Sun Mingxing drooled all over the place and could not speak.
Xiao Jingze looked at Su Jinxiu lazily and raised his chin.
"go on."
Su Jinxiu nodded and continued.
"At that time, I discovered that all corpses were in a soothing state. If they were burned to death, their bodies would instinctively curl up before death.
He took a closer look and found that there was no smoke in the mouth and nose of the corpse.
This shows that they were already dead before being burned by the fire.
Therefore, he did not inhale the soot. At that time, the government officials were busy burning the body to destroy the evidence.
I then thought of a way to bury the two corpses outside the ruined temple.
The prince only needs to bring people to dig out the bodies to know the cause of their death."
Xiao Jingze waved his hand, and someone immediately went to destroy the temple.
Not long after, two corpses were brought.
In front of everyone, let the deceased perform an autopsy.
"Reporting to the prince, the two of them died before the fire broke out.
The cause of death was a fatal blow to the throat."
Sun Ming was speechless, and there was a look of despair in his eyes.
Before Su Jinxiu could continue, Mrs. Sun tremblingly squeezed into the crowd.
"Even if the cause of death of these two people is weird, how can we prove that they are related to our Sun Mansion?
Miss Su, I have treated you well, how could you repay such kindness with hatred?
Could it be that you are still holding a grudge for not letting you be Mu Qingyu's concubine?"
Mu Qingyu was standing in the crowd and had no intention of showing up.
But he felt a cold gaze falling on him, and he could only step forward slowly.
"Grandma must be careful, Miss Su and I are just acquaintances.
I can't afford to be accused like this."
Mrs. Sun caught a glimpse of Mu Qingyu standing in front of her with her feet in good condition.
His demeanor became crazy.
"Okay, one or two of them approached each other deliberately.
I would like to ask, why do you insist that my son did this?"
Everyone's attention was focused on Mrs. Sun, but no one noticed that the people in the Sun family seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.
Su Jinxiu looked at the body on the ground and pulled the white cloth to cover it.
"Don't worry, madam, I'll give you the evidence."
She looked towards the Buddhist hall not far away, with something in mind.
"Is that the Buddhist hall that Mr. Sun carefully built for the old lady?"
Xiao Jingze understood and walked towards the Buddhist hall.
When the group saw this, they quickly followed.
Mrs. Sun's legs and feet were weak and she could hardly stand firm.
Mu Qingyu supported her and half dragged her away.
"Grandma is not even afraid of ghosts and gods? Why be so afraid?"
The Buddhist hall is not big, and except for a Buddha statue as tall as one person in the middle, there is no other place to hide.
Everyone glanced at it and went forward to search.
I even knocked under the floor tiles, but found nothing.
This time I learned my lesson and waited for Su Jinxiu to speak.
Under Mrs. Sun's horrified gaze, Su Jinxiu stepped forward and knocked on the Buddha statue.
"The old lady worshiped the Buddha sincerely and knelt before the Buddha every day to recite sutras.
Logically speaking, Buddha statues should be clean and tidy, with no paint peeling off.
But the strange thing is that the paint on the beads in the hands of the Buddha statue has seriously peeled off."
With that said, Su Jinxiu pressed the prayer beads against the old lady's pale face.
The Buddha statue slowly moved back, revealing a dark tunnel below.
