Seeing her, Wu Chao, who was standing outside the hall with his hands behind his back, immediately softened his expressionless face, and his eyes became much softer.
This was obviously an unconscious change. When he looked at her, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he narrowed his eyes a little.
Xu Mingyi didn't mean to look at him, but when she saw him like this, she couldn't help but slightly curl her lips.
Xiao Qi, who had not missed this scene, was so excited that she almost shed tears of joy in her heart.
It seems that the young master and Miss Xu must have made progress!
It's not in vain that he has worked so hard and worried for so long and tried every means to help the young master.
But even if there is progress, we still cannot relax and be careless - as long as the young master has not married someone back, we cannot take it lightly, and they, the servants, also need to make persistent efforts.
At this time, Zhan Yunjiao in the hall was replying hesitantly: "I got the silver by selling my jewelry..."
Ji Dong shook his head helplessly after hearing this.
"You keep saying that your mother is seriously ill. Since you still have jewelry that can be sold, why did you go to the Xu family girl in the first place? It's a contradiction. This is one of the reasons. The second one is that you sold the jewelry and didn't use the money to replace it.
Your mother was cured of illness, but she used it to hire someone to murder the Xu family girl. How can this be ethical?"
"..." Zhan Yunjiao's face turned red and white.
Listening to the faint accusations and comments behind her, she smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "I don't have such careful thinking as your Majesty, so I can't get rid of the resentment in my heart, so I just do it. Your Majesty has never been in a difficult situation, so naturally he doesn't understand me."
of despair.”
Ji Dong glanced at her.
Want to be poorer than him? You simply overestimate your capabilities.
I remember that when I came to Beijing to take the exam, I was chatting with the same batch of candidates in the inn. The person in the group thought that the shabbiest person was the one who borrowed money to come to Beijing. At that time, his whole body, including his patched coat, was borrowed, and he planned to go to Beijing tomorrow.
He just went to the temple to stay, and he smiled and said nothing.
That's too far.
Ji Dong did not accept Zhan Yunjiao's words which had nothing to do with the case being tried. He only said solemnly: "In court, you are not allowed to influence him or to make excuses and conceal things. I will ask you again, do you have any accomplices?"
Zhan Yunjiao's face was ashen and she said: "No."
In this situation, there was no way she could survive.
Rather than confessing Xia Xi without any evidence, it would be better to leave a way out for her mother.
She complained that her mother was useless and would only drag her down, but in the final analysis, she was the mother who gave birth to her and raised her.
In fact, one of Xu Mingyi’s words is quite right——
It was she and her father and brother who killed their mother.
She can no longer harm her mother.
Let's just call it the last thing she did for her mother.
Seeing her appearance, Ji Dong knew that nothing could be asked in court.
However, in the absence of definite evidence and confessions from others, it is also against the rules to torture someone in public because they subjectively believe that the other party cannot afford so much money.
However, just because it cannot be used in public does not mean that other interrogation methods cannot be used secretly.
"Whether there is any accomplice, I will investigate in detail. Now, I will tell you in detail how you planned to murder the Xu family girl."
Zhan Yunjiao didn't escape anything this time.
He told the general story in a dumb voice.
There was constant discussion among the people.
"I was born with such a vicious heart at such a young age..."
"As the saying goes, it's difficult to go from luxury to frugality... If you're not used to living a hard life, isn't it easy to get distorted?"
"What does it have to do with the hard days? There are a lot of people falling from the clouds into the mud, and I don't see anyone with evil intentions to harm others!"
"Why are you making such a fuss? I'm just discussing the matter!"
"Okay, okay, you are the only one who has the mouth, right? What are you arguing about? I can't even hear what's being said..."
The crowd was arguing with each other, and a tall, thin, middle-aged man who had just pushed forward said curiously: "We are all here to watch the fun, why should we be serious? By the way, is that the girl from the Xu family?"
"Isn't she just a girl from the Xu family?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the profile of the girl in the hall and exclaimed: "She is indeed the most beautiful woman in the capital, she deserves her reputation..."
Such praise was not unusual, but it provoked a cold stare from the young man on the side.
The middle-aged man pretended not to notice and pointed at Zhan Yunjiao who was kneeling there: "I heard it was this little girl who planned it? And she also borrowed the name of the flower picker?"
The spectators liked the newcomer the most, and two or three people passed him by talking to him enthusiastically.
The middle-aged man shook his head: "You are so young, but you are quite clever..."
He spoke with a Beijing accent, and was dressed in ordinary clothes. It was windy today, and he wore an old cloak. His appearance was also invisible to everyone, and it could be said that he did not attract anyone's attention at all.
But for some reason, he always felt that the eyes of the young man beside him were always on him.
Just because he praised that girl from the Xu family before?
The middle-aged man secretly wondered and tried to retreat without leaving a trace.
However, at this moment, the girl in the hall slowly turned her head.
The middle-aged man made a move to leave, and for a moment he even held his breath.
Just looking at the side face just now made him feel that it was indeed stunning. Now when he turned around, his stunning appearance was even more dazzling. Even though he thought he had seen countless beauties, he still felt that the face in front of him was stunning.
It can be said that I have only seen it in my life.
This kind of beauty is a delicate and beautiful color.
There are of course many types of beauties in this world. Some are beautiful and proud, some are fresh and clean, and some are soft and cute. But if these beauties can really stand together and be more beautiful than any other, they need to be so delicate and beautiful.
The color of peony!
What's more, the person in front of me is extremely beautiful, but has a cold temperament. Such a mixture makes it even harder for people to take their eyes away.
However, in this lost moment, I saw a strange coldness in the beauty's eyes, and she suddenly raised her hand in his direction——
A golden page flew out from the girl's white fingers and shot towards him with a golden light!
The man's eyes tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge. However, the crowd was crowded and the girl moved extremely fast and her accuracy was amazing. However, in the blink of an eye, the golden leaf had already torn through his robe, and it was steady.
It was firmly embedded into the flesh and blood of his right leg!
The man bowed, gritted his teeth, pulled out the gold page, turned around and ran away.
At this time, a hand was placed on his back shoulder.
This action seemed to be just random, but in fact it was extremely powerful. The man frowned, turned around, and attacked the opponent.
Wu Chao dodged the attack and went to capture the opponent's vital points.
This situation happened so suddenly that before the crowd had time to figure out what happened, they screamed and fled in commotion.
Ji Dong in the hall was also startled and stood up.
Why did they start fighting!
And if he had read correctly just now, it was Miss Xu who made the first move?
If he still saw it correctly, Miss Xu was actually the one injured with the gold leaf?
...with so many people, can they still pick it up?
