Seeing the aggressive momentum of the Third Princess, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but let out a long sneer: "I don't know how the Third Princess knew that she was going to make a false accusation, but Madam Han didn't say anything?"
The eldest princess Lin Luotong immediately noticed something was wrong and glared at the third sister angrily. Lin Luochu's face was gloomy and he hesitated for a while, not daring to speak anymore, and sat down helplessly.
Chu Nanzhi glanced at her meaningfully: "Could it be that the Third Princess is also involved in this? Are you afraid that she will confess something else?"
As she said that, she continued to look at Mrs. Han, raised her eyebrows coldly and said: "As far as I know, Madam Han has donated more than a thousand taels of silver to Taoist Tan Hua in the past two years. I'm afraid such a huge amount of money
Master Tan Hua, a monk, wouldn't be so greedy."
Hearing this, Mrs. Han looked at Xiaofen beside her with deep annoyance.
Sure enough, it was a wrong decision to carelessly let this bitch out of the house yesterday. I originally wanted to wait until she did something on her way home, but unexpectedly she ran into Chu Nanzhi and the county government officer.
If I had known this, I should have thought of ways to get rid of her while she was still in the house.
If you make one wrong move, you will lose everything.
Lin Luochu also felt guilty after hearing this. Seeing that Han was about to confess and couldn't help but get up again, Lin Jinshu decisively raised his sword and slashed at the corner of the desk. He picked up the knife and fell on the desk, immediately cutting out a neat cut.
The missing corner comes.
Hu Maoxi, the county magistrate, and the chief secretary were so frightened that their foreheads trembled and they were all stunned.
"Third Aunt, do you really think that the sword in your niece's hand is just a decoration?"
Lin Jinshu's expression was calm and he stared at the three people opposite him calmly. His cold eyes were calm and intimidating, making people tremble. No one dared to act rashly again.
Chu Nanzhi looked at Han with warm eyes, and then introduced her: "This is Princess Jinshu from Jingling City. If you have anything you can't tell, you can confide in her."
After thinking for a while, she added: "Ms. Han, you are bound to die today. I know you came out in a hurry, and you must have a wish for something. If you can trust me, I can take care of things after your death."
After hearing Princess Jinshu's thunderous reputation and looking at Chu Nanzhi's sincere eyes, Han finally lost his scruples and replied with a smile:
"Mrs. Chu is a trustworthy person. My family only has one wish. There is an old dress hidden in my home. She bought it for her with the twenty taels of silver she earned when she married her late husband. My family never wanted to wear it, so I killed her with my own hands.
He has no face to face his heroic spirit anymore, please ask Mrs. Chu to melt the old clothes in front of the spirit of her dead husband on behalf of the slave family."
"Okay, I will definitely live up to my trust."
Chu Nanzhi's eyebrows flashed deeply: He is also a bitter person who hates because of love, hateful but pitiful.
"Thank you Madam Chu."
After saying this, Mrs. Han looked at Shen Yang, who was already sobbing, with dull eyes. She smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It was the slave family who harmed you, but the slave family also harmed themselves because of it. Whether you want it or not,
We owe nothing to each other now, and your son’s slave family will be returned to you in the future.”
Hu Maoxi felt that she was arrogant no matter what he said. He seemed to have lost his patience. He slapped the gavel again and shouted: "Ms. Han, you have already confessed what you were supposed to confess. Why don't you confess quickly?"
Han glanced at the three eldest princesses coldly, not having any hope for them at all, and then turned her eyes to Chu Nanzhi. Now that her wish was gone, she no longer had any nostalgia, and began to state in detail:
"Yes, the Nu family does not know the strange and poisonous thing like Gelsemium flower. Two years ago, under the introduction of Taoist Ximen, the Nu family met Taoist Tan Hua. The two of them told the Nu family that there is a kind of plant growing among the ten tribes of Baiyu in the south.
This is a rare poison, so the two Taoist priests personally traveled here to collect some seeds and spent nearly two years growing a patch of Gelsemium flowers in Nanhua Temple. They were mixed with the honeysuckle in Nanhua Mountain so that no one could notice.
"
After a pause, she looked at Chu Nanzhi and sneered: "Ms. Chu only learned about the thousand taels of silver donated by the slave family from Xiaofen, a cheap servant, but in fact it was far more than that. In order to repay him, the slave family,
In the past two years, he has helped him build many good relationships. In addition to the tens of thousands of taels of silver donated to the temple, nearly ten thousand taels of silver have been donated to him from various places. The slave family can't understand why he, a monk, frequently
This much money is needed."
Chu Nanzhi was surprised when she heard this number. It was far beyond her imagination. She didn't know what this man was trying to do to amass money. Was it just to satisfy the selfish desires of several eldest princesses?
If you think about it carefully, this is just the silver raised from the Han family. If it is not guaranteed, there are other channels. The figures behind it may be even more shocking.
Thinking about everything that happened in the temple today, Chu Nanzhi gradually fell into deep thought.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard Hu Maoxi shout loudly: "Bring Taoist Tanhua into the hall."
Not long after, I saw this man walking in with a happy look on his face. But seeing the gloomy expressions of the three eldest princesses and Han kneeling on the ground, I immediately had a bad feeling in my heart.
"Taoist Tanhua, you helped others commit crimes, why don't you kneel down and confess truthfully."
Before Taoist Tan Hua could recover, he was frightened by Hu Maoxi's loud shout, which made his legs weak and he knelt down.
After pondering for a moment, he argued without changing his expression: "Sir, this matter is none of Pindao's business. Don't listen to this thief woman's side of the story."
Hu Maoxi was so eager to make meritorious deeds that he could not tolerate such sophistry. He immediately reprimanded: "The Han family has already confessed, how dare you deny it?"
"It's just the woman's random biting before she died."
Taoist Priest Tan Hua snorted disdainfully and looked at Han next to him with a dark look.
Hu Maoxi's face was stiff, and he slapped him with another sharp slap: "You..."
I was about to use torture, but I saw a few pairs of angry looks from the lower right, and I immediately stopped this idea.
Seeing how timid he was, Chu Nanzhi was afraid that the trial would not yield a result. She glared at Taoist Tan Hua and took the topic angrily:
"Since it's none of your business, then where do the Gelsemium flowers in the back garden of Nanhua Temple come from?"
"this"
Faced with the direct questioning, Taoist Tanhua was at a loss for words.
Chu Nanzhi spoke solemnly, walked slightly and cleared her throat: "That Gelsemium flower grows in the extreme south. Even if Han has great ability to get this thing, how can he move it into your house openly?"
The back garden of the Golden Palace of Nanhua Temple, is it the most heavily guarded place in Guiguan? Can she, an outsider, do whatever she wants?"
A well-founded rebuke made the Taoist even more difficult to distinguish.
Seeing this, Chu Nanzhi's expression gradually returned to normal, and his tone became more relaxed: "You keep saying that this matter has nothing to do with you, why did you rush to destroy the evidence before the government officials came to visit?
?Why did you trick the eldest princess to prevent us from entering and searching for evidence?"
Such logical and clear questioning once again left Taoist Tan Hua speechless.
Hu Maoxi was so encouraged that he forgot the existence of the three eldest princesses for a moment. With a sullen face, he shouted sternly: "Taoist Tanhua, if you don't recruit from the truth, I have many ways to make you confess."
After hearing these words, Taoist Priest Tan Hua's face darkened, his eyes dimmed, and he secretly looked at the Third Princess Lin Luochu with fear.
