Chu Nanzhi looked at Chen Wu who was shivering but had a dull look on his face with a smile, and said in a deep tone: "
Chen Wu, as Sun Wuji’s lawyer, I should have shown no mercy to you, but for the sake of being a child, I still wanted to give you an opportunity to confess and reduce your guilt. Since you don’t cherish it, then accept
Now I can only confess for you."
At this point, she stared deeply at Chen Wu: "But I have already said the ugly things just now. If you don't take the initiative to admit it, now you don't even have the chance to take the initiative to admit it. Mr. Hu is listening and reviewing,
You are so stubborn and falsely accuse the victim of my complaint, so I will ask for a harsh sentence for you. The confiscation of your home and the extermination of your family are a sure thing."
Chen Wu felt horrified when he heard this.
"If my guess is correct, you and the county captain Qi Dongqiang have long been familiar with each other."
Chu Nanzhi raised his eyebrows and said calmly and carefully: "You rushed into the county captain's house yesterday. He was not prepared for you. He didn't react until you had completed your murderous intention, so he left a mark on your left arm.
You got this scratch, right?"
Seeing that he had no way to deny it, Chen Wu thought about it. He knelt on the ground with a plop and begged Hu Maoxi: "If you want me to confess to you, I will admit it to you. I just ask you to forgive my mother and brothers at home. They don't know about it."
When Hu Maoxi saw this, he looked at Chu Nanzhi with a stiff face.
Chu Nanzhi's brows relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, if you want to identify Chen Wu for killing Qi Dongqiang, you only need the scratch marks on his hand and the confessions of Liu Shuyang, Ma Laifu and others. The reason why there is so much foreshadowing is just to dig a good hole for Chen Wu and let him fall into despair before taking the initiative.
Confess the rest of the crimes, or even confess Tan Miao directly.
Now the initiative is in his own hands, and he can no longer control it.
Judging from the panic on his face, it doesn't seem like he is inhumane at all. There is still a little bit of humanity and conscience in his heart.
However, she could not easily show her willingness to compromise, and continued to look at the other party with a strong and unforgiving attitude.
Hu Maoxi showed helplessness and sighed sadly: "Chen Wu, it's not that I didn't give you the chance to confess. It's just that you have missed the best opportunity. Now that Madam Chu has pointed out all the crimes in front of you, you can
It’s too late to think about pleading guilty.”
Chen Wu's face immediately turned to look at Chu Nanzhi sadly, and he begged with fear: "Madam Chu, I beg you to give me another chance. What do you want to know? I know everything, and I will never dare to hide anything again."
.”
Seeing the sincerity on his face, Chu Nanzhi smiled half-heartedly and said, "Okay, I can give you another chance, but if you dare to hide even a word, I will never be soft-hearted again."
"The little one will definitely do it."
Chen Wu replied obediently.
Chu Nanzhi nodded and smiled, with a hint of treachery and unpredictability in his eyes: "I want you to identify Tan Miao yourself."
"Master Tan?"
Chen Wu was startled.
Seeing that he was not sincere, Chu Nanzhi shook her head angrily: "It seems that he holds a very important position in your heart, so it seems that I didn't say what I said before."
Chen Wu gritted his teeth. He didn't care whether he was a clansman or not, but he had committed a murderous crime but he couldn't harm his mother at home.
After careful consideration, Chen Wu replied firmly: "I admit that I was indeed ordered by the chief clerk. Ten years ago, I killed a pig for someone and injured the back of my head. I had no money for treatment. It was the chief clerk who donated money to help me."
After the injury was cured, he later asked me to do some unreasonable things for him."
"The main purpose is to kill people for him and eliminate dissidents, right?"
Chu Nanzhi reminded.
Chen Wu nodded feebly: "Every time he does something, he will give me a lot of money."
"So you were the one who killed all the previous chief registrars?"
Chu Nanzhi's expression turned serious and she looked directly at him with cold eyes.
Chen Wu shook his head in panic: "No, no, no, Mrs. Chu, the death of Qian County Cheng has nothing to do with me. I didn't know before that the salt sent from the salt well in the south of the city can kill people. When I brought food to Qian County Cheng that day, he was already dead.
When he lost his breath, Master Tan was worried that someone would think that I had killed Qian County Cheng, so he motioned for me to leave a knife wound on Qian County Cheng's neck, and framed it to the previous cook chief who had a personal grudge against Qian County Cheng at that time."
"So, this is what he uses to manipulate you, and he even promotes you to the position of chief cook?"
"Um."
Chen Wu nodded silently: "Later, Liu Xiancheng and Zhu Xiancheng taught me to use the same method to harm the two adults."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt enlightened. It seemed that the conclusion of Peng Pai's autopsy that day was indeed true. Qian Xian Cheng was indeed poisoned first and then had his throat cut.
"How dare you say that in front of Master Tan?"
Looking closely at Chen Wu, Chu Nanzhi was afraid that he would regret it, so he confirmed again.
Chen Wu pursed his lips tightly and nodded heavily again.
"very good."
Chu Nanzhi looked at Hu Maoxi with a relaxed smile and signaled: "Master Hu, please bring Tan Miao and Chen Si up."
Not long after, the two of them were brought up one after another.
When Chen Si saw Chen Wu's face, he came up angrily and cursed: "You are such a heartless piece of shit. You have done evil things yourself, and you have to bring down your mother and brothers."
"Deng Deng stared."
Before Chen Si could finish venting his anger, Hu Maoxi struck the desk with a few blows and sternly shouted: "No roaring in the courtroom."
After being scolded, Chen Si stopped talking, knelt on the ground and stared at Chen Wu.
Tan Miao had a relaxed look on his face and looked at Chu Nanzhi leisurely and contentedly. He didn't believe that this woman could pry open Chen Wu's mouth. The hundred acres of fertile land he had donated would be enough for his family even if their brothers died.
People have fed for generations.
Moreover, he already had a back-up plan. Even if Chen Wu was not afraid of the leverage in his hands, even if he confessed, it would not implicate him.
Just when he was looking proud, Hu Maoxi knocked on the door again: "Tan Miao, kneel down and speak. The Dongsang thieves have confessed to the fact that you took bribes and concealed their tracks for them. Why don't you hurry up and get rid of the evil deeds you have committed?"
Confess everything."
Tan Miao knelt down calmly and replied with pride: "I'm still saying the same thing. The Dongsang people are now guests when they come to our empire. They gave me some gifts. I should accept them with a smile. Anyway, I'm not like Kang Mingyuan."
There is nothing wrong with levying unjust gains from exploiting people."
"You still dare to quibble."
Hu Maoxi's eyes widened angrily and he cursed: "The people of Dongsang have all confessed to the evil things you helped them do. Do you think you can turn right and wrong with your tongue?"
After hearing this, Tan Miao shook his head disdainfully and retorted unhurriedly: "They naturally hope that the officials of our Dahe Empire will fight each other, and the more chaos the better."
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sneer: "Master Tan is really eloquent."
He had already thought of a countermeasure not long after he was imprisoned, and he was really quick-thinking.
After a few seconds of silence, she slowly looked at Tan Miao and pointedly reminded: "But today in the south of the city, you ordered the Dongsang people to assassinate the imperial official. This must be true. Could it be that so many pairs of eyes were watching?
Can I still accuse you unjustly?"
Tan Miao was immediately speechless.
It was only because of my own carelessness that I was tricked by Lin Jinxiao. There was really no way to deny this.
Chu Nanzhi stared at Chen Wu with raised eyebrows and asked: "Chen Wu, are Kang Mingtang and Dongsang people the letters you went to deliver for Master Tan?"
Chen Wu glanced at Tan Miao sideways with his peripheral vision, and nodded with some fear: "Yes, it's a letter from the young one."
"Chen Wu."
Tan Miao turned around and cursed fiercely: "If you dare to betray me, I will give you a hundred acres of fertile land."
Chen Wu timidly replied: "Lord Registrar, don't blame me for being ruthless. My mother has been involved in this matter. Even if you give me a fortune, I won't be able to bear it anymore."
Tan Miao was so angry that he grinned and clenched his fists secretly. He didn't know what method the woman used to make his iron mouth loosen. She really betrayed her trust.
