After a brief period of silence, there was a burst of noise.
"There is such a thing... It would be too sinister to use this method to deal with a little girl!"
"But these are two men..."
For a moment, everyone didn’t even know where to focus their attention.
Some people even cast their inexplicably expectant eyes on the person involved, Yunliu - What an unreasonable thing, let's talk about it!
The man in the long gown secretly gritted his teeth and did not dare to raise his head.
...Why did he receive such a fatal and embarrassing job!
"Not only that." Yun Liu continued: "In that wooden house, someone also carved a plum blossom mark in advance——"
Plum Blossom Mark?
——Flower picker!
The people were surprised and agitated, and Ji Dong's face also changed drastically - couldn't this case be sent to trial?
The fear of being dominated by this elusive flower picker these days has not dissipated yet.
Ji Dong immediately looked at the man in the long gown.
He asked in a cold voice: "Are you the flower picker who has been doing a lot of evil in the city recently?"
The flower-picking thief had one arm. Although this person also had a broken arm, the broken arm was too fresh, and even though it was broken, it was still there - so in his opinion, this person was probably not.
But if there is a plum blossom mark, it is inevitable to ask questions in court. This is the process of trial.
Sure enough, I heard the man say in a panic: "Your Excellency, the grass people are really not the same! The grass people are the common people in Liudong Town outside the city. This time they were just temporarily obsessed and took the wrong path. But they have nothing to do with the flower picker.
It doesn’t matter at all!”
Although he is also going to jail, his attempted evil this time did not actually hurt anyone, which is absolutely incomparable with the crime of the flower picker that was enough to punish Chi!
"If you are not one, why would you want to leave that plum blossom mark?"
"This is all what she ordered!"
The man in the long gown quickly pointed at Zhan Yunjiao with his intact hand, "All this was her instigation! She found me and asked me to do it with twenty taels of silver as a reward!"
"Yes, it's her!" The gangster leader also identified Zhan Yunjiao with anger in his eyes.
Their situation is different from that of the man in the long gown. They were simply deceived!
Is there any justice for someone who is paid to be a lookout, but ends up doing a life-threatening job?
The more the gangster thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He criticized Zhan Yunjiao again in court and shouted that he was wronged.
Ji Dong was so noisy that his ears hurt. Seeing that he couldn't say anything else useful, he slapped the gavel to signal him to shut up.
Ji Dong frowned and looked at Zhan Yunjiao, with a majestic look on his face and pressure in his voice: "Who are you? What is your name? Where do you live? What do you do for a living at home? Why do you want to do this?
I set this trap to harm the Xu family girls, so I will attract them one by one!"
Zhan Yunjiao's figure trembled, she bowed lower and lower, and finally spoke in a hoarse voice.
"The folk girl... now lives in Zhuyu Alley in the south of the city... at home... and now only has a sick mother to depend on each other." As she spoke, her voice became lower and lower, "The folk girl's name is... Zhan Yunjiao..."
"Zhan Yunzhu?" Ji Dong's eyes moved slightly: "Who are you, the Zhan Yunzhu under the false name in your letter?"
"That's Min Nu's late brother..."
Ji Dong understood.
It turned out to be Zhan Qian's daughter. No wonder it was just said that there was only one sick mother dependent on her.
There was faint discussion again everywhere.
"It's actually Mr. Zhan's sister..."
"Tsk, tsk, how could a man as proud and admirable as Mr. Zhan, a talented man, have such a sister, who would use the name of his late brother to harm others? What a sin..."
Zhan Yunjiao gritted her teeth as she heard this.
Yes, the good reputation belongs to her brother!
At first, she felt honored when she heard the praises about her brother, but slowly she realized that her brother's so-called good reputation would not bring any substantial benefits to her and her mother at all.
Praise? Can praise be used as food?
On the contrary, the death of her brother completely deprived her and her mother of support, and she became an orphan and a widowed mother who could be bullied by everyone.
Sometimes she thinks about it and even feels resentful.
Not to mention the words I heard at this time - it was clear that she was the one who had worked hard to support and stay by her mother's side these days, but in the end, she even used her brother's name to slander him?
She took risks to do this just because she wanted to make herself and her mother live a better life!
Thinking of this, Zhan Yunjiao's tears fell uncontrollably again.
Ji Dong's questioning continued.
"Why did you want to murder the Xu family girl?"
"..." Zhan Yunjiao sniffed, with a bleak smile on her face: "Why else? Our Zhan family used to treat her well, but after my father and brother's accident, their government office was extremely indifferent.
Even if my mother ran out of money to get medicine, they would still ignore me, especially Xu Mingyi... I begged her like that, but she wouldn't help me or my mother!"
Ji Dong frowned slightly.
This is not a reason to harm people.
But it doesn't make sense for you to say this to someone who has done such a thing.
When dealing with such people, there is no need to say more, as the old saying goes - you are welcome in the jail.
Listening to her confusing and confusing words, deliberately causing misunderstanding, it seemed that Xu Mingyi had asked for money to treat her mother but failed, and Xu Mingyi had no intention of arguing with her.
She doesn't want to reason with the other party, she just wants to make the other party pay the price they deserve.
"Besides the people in the hall, are there any other conspirators?" Ji Dong continued to ask.
Zhan Yunjiao's lowered eyes moved.
"No……"
She said in a sarcastic tone: "For such a simple thing, do you need any accomplices?"
Ji Dong:...It doesn’t have to be like this. There is no three hundred taels of silver here?
He was not in a hurry to say anything else, but asked the people kneeling in the hall about the rewards they received.
These people are divided into three groups.
Quite complicated.
One group was the man in a long gown and a short and thin boy.
One group is that group of gangsters who seem to have success written all over their faces, and it is unexpected to get jobs.
In the other group, there was only one person - the man in black with an injured arm.
This person was particularly silent and did not speak until this moment when he replied: "One hundred taels."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two groups immediately looked at him with hatred.
One hundred taels...!
He collected one hundred taels by himself?
Just one hundred taels for climbing a tree?
Xu Mingyi was also a little stunned.
It has to be said that Zhan Yunjiao's affairs were not only messy, but she was also deceived. What did she buy for a hundred taels? Is it self-deception of confidence?
"In other words, just for hiring people, you spent one hundred and sixty taels of silver." Ji Dong looked at Zhan Yunjiao: "And you just said that your mother is sick at home, and you don't even have the money to pay for medicine.
No - then where did you come from with all this money?"
Hearing this question, Zhan Yunjiao tightened her sleeves.
Xu Mingyi's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally cast on the crowd outside the hall.
She is not in a hurry.
Zhan Yunjiao can delay it for a little longer.
In this way, the chance of that person appearing will be greater——
