"Pang Xi, do you dare to admit that this is what you did?"
"Or you just need to explain the origin of this account book..."
Cheng Ji glared at Pang Xi, especially when he saw that Pang Xi still looked relaxed and content, he became very angry:
"I'm just wondering why you are suddenly willing to spend such a large amount of money to buy so many Shu brocade shops from Mr. Xu, and you even took over his surrounding fields and hills."
"It's okay for you to have money...but if you suddenly make such a decision, how could it be on a whim?"
"The key is that we are stuck at this time when my lord is getting suspicious... If you really want to return to Chengdu, why did you wait for more than half a year?"
Cheng Ji kept questioning Pang Xi like a barrage of questions, without paying any attention to the expressions of the people around him.
Zhang Ren now squinted his eyes and looked at Pang Xi on the side, and then glanced at the extremely angry Cheng Ji - his keen intuition told him that if a person really made such a huge mistake, he would never be so calm and composed, even if
No matter how strong a person's psychological quality is, there will definitely be some places where his flaws show up.
However, based on the sensory analysis from the past few days of contact, although Zhang Ren does not fully understand Pang Xi, Cai Zhaoji, Ma Dai and others, Zhang Ren is more willing to trust these people than Xu Jing.
There is no doubt that Xu Jing is greedy. Besides, it is just an account book. How can it be used as evidence to identify the prisoner?
The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Ren felt that Cheng Ji's performance today was somewhat affected by his personal emotions.
It is true that they and Pang Xi had not dealt with each other before, but Pang Xi did come to solve their problems today - and, in the final analysis... He believed that with Pang Xi's economic strength, it was impossible to make money in Shu Brocade.
There is no need to reveal such a serious conspiracy, but Xu Jing...
Xu Jing's sudden wealth is what makes people most suspicious.
Zhang Ren was about to speak out these doubts, but he saw Pang Xi laughing at Cheng Ji's aggressive look:
"It turns out that this is one thing. Why is Mr. Cheng always staring at me today? If you didn't explain it, I would have thought you had that kind of hobby."
Cheng Ji was so angry that his mouth twisted, pointing at Pang Xi's arrogant face and angrily said:
"Don't change the subject for me, how do you explain this account book!"
"Hey, Mr. Cheng, either you only know how to lead troops and don't understand internal affairs... With your gullible temperament, if you hang around in the court without the support of others, you will be kicked out of power in a short time."
"Master Xu just used a little cleverness to make you fall into your own emotions. The inference that you are focusing on today is so rigorous and provable, but you were led astray by someone else's unnecessary perjury. What do you want me to say?
You may not be as smart as my lord."
"You...you are so rude! How can I not be as smart as my lord?"
"Look, look, if you want to prove that you are smarter than my lord, you won't come up with such clueless evidence to accuse me. If you think about it for a moment, you can understand... This must be perjury made by Xu Jing -
-After all, if you want to put the blame on others, the evidence must be left for you to discover... If you want me to do this, if I know that the other party still keeps such fatal and critical evidence after I kill someone, how can I do it?
And deliberately kept it in a small iron box?
Am I free?"
"this……"
Cheng Ji was speechless for a moment, but Liu Zhang on the side felt strange.
"You...were you scolding me just now?
ah?
What does it mean to be smarter than me but not as good as me?"
"Oh my lord, don't worry about these trivial matters. The problem now is that our respectable Lord Cheng has obviously been misled by Xu Jing."
"He is going to question my good intentions with this perjury that proves nothing at all. He might as well use this time to search Xu Jing's home to see if there is anything missing."
Pang Xi spread his hands and said helplessly.
Cheng Ji was in a daze for a moment. Seeing this, Zhang Ren finally found the opportunity to speak:
"Master Cheng, in my opinion... there is no room for prejudice in this matter. Although we were unhappy with Mr. Pang before, what we want in pursuing the case is to get to the bottom of the case. As Mr. Pang said, this account book
It can't prove anything. If someone really committed this crime, destroying the body and eradicating traces is the best way..."
"Besides, didn't you say that witness may be more important than physical evidence - why don't you first see if there is any witness here?"
"Zhang...General Zhang, what do you mean?"
Zhang Ren seemed to have something in his words, which made Cheng Ji look at him in confusion.
In fact, everyone present was only so surprised because Cheng Ji pointed out that Pang Xi's attitude was too tough just now. The smiles on the lips of the few people who were really informed never disappeared from the beginning.
Pang Xi shrugged his shoulders, pointed at Liu Zhang gently with his hand, and said to Cheng Ji:
"Master Cheng, you left early just now, so of course I don't know what happened after you left... In addition to barbecue, we also did a lot of things."
Pang Xi said with a smile, Cheng Ji was completely numb.
——
Time goes back to when Cheng Ji left just now.
Pang Xi called a man dressed strangely.
At first, Liu Zhang thought this guy was some distant relative of Cheng Ji. When he took off his mask, revealing a face that was obviously haggard but very determined, Liu Zhang suddenly screamed.
This life also caused Zhang Ren, who was far away, to rush forward...
Zhang Ren looked at the person next to Pang Xi and didn't know what to say, but Liu Zhang was awakened by this person's face:
"You...you...you kid, are you scolding me?"
"With all conscience, I, Peng Yi, have never done anything like that. It's a pity that I made careless friends. That day, I was reported by everyone in the tavern and was demoted to a slave for no reason due to my friend's fault. At that time, I wanted to explain,
But my lord, you won’t listen to anything——”
"me……"
Liu Zhang was a little embarrassed. He did remember this scene. The main reason was that he even heard that this guy named Peng Yi was indeed jointly and severally held responsible. But at that time, he was so angry that he was too irritable to think about it, so he told the man who was suppressed at that time.
The current few people were all turned into slaves and sent to the quarries in Brazil...
I never thought I would have the chance to meet this person.
But after thinking about it, Liu Zhang became confused again...
"Eh?
its not right?
So since you have been assigned as a slave, who gave you the permission to appear here?
What happened to the quarry?
What did the soldiers who escorted you do?"
When he finally got to the point, Peng Yi recounted his experiences one by one.
After hearing this, Liu Zhang finally felt guilty, so he changed the subject and said:
"Ahem, so what does this have to do with Xu Jing's matter?"
Pang Xi grinned when he heard this and said:
"what is the relationship?
The relationship is huge... This is an important witness that can help my lord solve a major case that has been irritating for a long time."
