After hearing this, the wise king looked solemnly, "Brother Huang is absolutely right, this is also a doubt that I have considered.
From this, it can be seen that Mr. Zhang was indeed wronged, and the murderer should be someone else!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Feng was so frightened that his body softened and a chill ran down his spine.
He didn't expect that Chu Xuanchen would find a witness.
Chu Xuanchen walked towards Zhang Feng and sneered: "As for who the real murderer is, is there any need to say?
Brave Zhang Feng, was it you who killed Yu'er, why don't you actually recruit her?"
Zhang Feng was so frightened that he panicked and quickly shook his head, "No, I didn't kill anyone. It wasn't me who killed him."
He really had no impression of killing someone, but after he woke up drunk, he had a dagger in his hand. Did he guess that he accidentally killed Yu'er while drunk?
"If you refuse to admit guilt even when you are about to die, according to the laws of Chu State, falsely accusing an important official of the imperial court is a capital crime and you should be executed according to the law.
Not only did you falsely accuse Mr. Zhang, but you also killed Yu'er. If you are punished for both crimes, you will at least be punished by Ling Chi!"
Chu Xuanchen said sharply.
When he heard the word Ling Chi, Zhang Feng was even more frightened. She and Yu'er were the only ones in the room at that time. Yu'er must have been accidentally killed by him while drunk, but there was no memory of the murder in his mind.
At this time, Yun Ruoyue pretended not to understand and asked, "Your Majesty, what is Lingchi?"
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, "Ling Chi cuts off the flesh of a person's body with one knife, and chops him into pieces with thousands of knives, making the victim's life worse than death.
Moreover, the executioner must cut off a thousand pieces of flesh before the prisoner is allowed to die, otherwise the executioner will also suffer the punishment."
"ah?
So wouldn't it be very painful for the prisoners who are being tortured?
This is simply crueler than death."
Yun Ruoyue pretended to be scared and called out softly.
"What?
So cruel?"
When Zhang Feng heard this, his body softened and he fell to the ground.
Seeing that the psychological tactics he used worked, Chu Xuanchen frightened Zhang Feng and continued to cheat: "Besides, I have more conclusive evidence in my hand.
Zhang Feng, I will give you a chance now. If you are willing to recruit me, I will plead with the emperor and leave you a complete corpse.
If you refuse to tell the truth, you will be executed by Ling Chi!"
Zhang Feng heard the word "Lingchi" again, and his lips started to tremble.
He was so afraid of being executed by Ling Chi, and under extreme psychological pressure, he suddenly said: "My lord, I will do it, I will do it.
In fact, it was not my uncle who killed Yu'er, Yu'er... seems to have been killed by me."
"seem?"
Chu Xuanchen said coldly.
Zhang Feng nodded with confusion on his face, "Your Majesty, there were only Yu'er and me in that room at that time. I really have no memory of killing her at all, and I don't think about it at all.
I guess I was too drunk and accidentally killed Yu'er while drunk?
Because when I woke up, I held a bloody dagger in my hand, and Yu'er fell in a pool of blood, but I really don't have any memory of killing her.
If I really killed the person, then I must have killed him accidentally while drunk. Please spare my life for the sake of my drunkenness!"
"Manslaughter?
Drunk?
Brave Zhang Feng, what’s going on, why don’t you just recruit me from the truth?”
After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he shouted sternly, "This person will be punished with a heavy punishment. I will judge him today until he tells the truth!"
As soon as Zhang Feng heard that he was going to be tortured and knew that Chu Xuanchen had conclusive evidence, he simply stopped denying it and said in a panic: "Okay, it's a small trick. It's my uncle who killed Yu'er. It's none of my uncle's business."
.”
He has now concluded that Yu'er was accidentally killed by him while drunk. As soon as his psychological defense collapsed, he immediately took action.
