Wishful Things

There was silence.

After a brief silence, there was a burst of noise.

"There is such a thing... It's too vicious to use this method to deal with a little girl!"

"But these are two men..."

Everyone's attention didn't even know where to focus for a moment.

Some people even cast inexplicably expectant eyes on the party Yun Liu—what a shame, let's talk about it!

The long-clothed man secretly gritted his teeth and did not dare to look up.

...How did he get such a terrible and humiliating job!

"Not only that." Yun Liu went on to say, "In the wooden house, a plum blossom imprint was engraved in advance—"

Plum Blossom Mark?

——Flower thief!

The common people were surprised and agitated, and Ji Dong's face changed drastically—couldn't this case be brought to trial and send one away?

The fear of being at the mercy of the elusive flower picker these days still lingers.

Ji Dong immediately looked at the long-clothed man.

He asked in a cold voice: "Could it be that you are the flower picker who has done a lot of evil in the city recently?"

The flower picker 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 probably wasn't.

But with the imprint of plum blossoms, it is unavoidable to ask questions in court. This is the trial process.

Sure enough, the man said in a panic: "My lord, the grass people are really not! The grass people are the people in Liudong Town outside the city. This time, it was just a momentary obsession. That's why they went the wrong way, but they have nothing to do with the flower picker. Nothing to do with it!"

Although he will also go to jail, but he attempted to do evil this time and did not really hurt anyone. It is absolutely incomparable with the Lingchi crime of the flower picker!

"You are neither, so why did you leave the plum blossom mark?"

"This is what she instructed to confess!"

The long-clothed man quickly pointed at Zhan Yunjiao with his intact finger, "She ordered all of this! She found me and asked me to do it with twenty taels of silver as a reward!"

"That's right, it's her!" The leader of the gangster also identified Zhan Yunjiao at this time, his eyes were full of indignation.

Their situation is different from that of the long-clothed man, they were simply deceived!

Is there any reason for taking the pay of the wind, but doing the job of killing one's life in the end!

The more the gangster thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he criticized Zhan Yunjiao again, and shouted that he was wronged.

Ji Dong's ears hurt from the noise, seeing that he couldn't say anything useful, he patted the gavel to signal him to shut up.

Ji Dong frowned and looked at Zhan Yunjiao, with a majestic expression on his face, and coercion in his voice: "Who are you? What is your name, where do you live, how do you make a living at home, and why do you want to live?" They set up this trap in an attempt to harm the girls of the Xu family, and all of them were recruited according to the truth!"

Zhan Yunjiao trembled, bowed lower and lower, and finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The folk girl...now lives in Zhuyu Hutong in the south of the city...at home...now there is only one sick mother to depend on." The voice became lower and lower, "The name of the folk girl is... Zhan Yunjiao..."

"Zhan Yunjiao?" Ji Dong's eyes moved slightly: "Who are you, Zhan Yunzhu who you wrote in your letter under the guise of a name?"

"That's Minnv's late brother..."

Ji Dong understood.

It turned out to be Zhan Qian's daughter, no wonder it was said just now that there was only one sick mother to depend on.

Discussions sounded faintly from all around.

"It's Mr. Zhan's younger sister..."

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Zhan is so arrogant and admirable, how can there be such a younger sister who uses the name of her dead brother to harm others? It's a crime..."

Zhan Yunjiao gritted her teeth tightly.

Yes, the good reputation is all her brother's!

At first, she felt honored when she heard those compliments to her brother, but slowly she realized that the so-called good reputation left by her brother would not bring any substantial benefits to her and her mother at all.

Praise? Praise can be eaten as a meal!

On the contrary, her brother's death completely made her and her mother lose their support, and they became orphans and widows that everyone can bully.

She sometimes thinks about it, even resentful.

Not to mention the words heard at this time - it is clear that she has worked hard to support her these days, and she is the one who stays by her mother's side, but in the end she even used her brother's name to tarnish him?

She took the risk to do this because she wanted to make life better for herself and her mother!

Thinking of this, Zhan Yunjiao's tears fell uncontrollably again.

Ji Dong's questioning continued.

"Why did you murder the girl from the Xu family?"

"..." Zhan Yunjiao sniffed, with a bleak smile on her face: "Why else, my Zhan family treated her well in the past, but after my father and brother's accident, their Zhen Guogong's mansion was extremely indifferent, Even if my mother ran out of money to buy the medicine, they didn't care about it, especially her Xu Mingyi... I begged her like that, but she refused to help my mother and me!"

Ji Dong frowned slightly.

This is no excuse for harm.

But it doesn't make sense for you to say that to someone who has done something like this.

To deal with this kind of person, there is no need to say much, it is still the old saying-you are welcome in the Beijing Yamen Prison.

Hearing her confusing and upside-down words, deliberately misunderstood, it was as if she had begged for money to treat her mother's illness but failed, and Xu Mingyi had no intention of breaking anything with her.

She doesn't want to reason with the other party, she just wants the other party to pay the price she deserves.

"Apart from the people in the hall, are there any other accomplices?" Ji Dong continued to ask.

Zhan Yun's delicately drooping eyes moved.

"No……"

She said sarcastically, "For such a simple matter, do you need any accomplices?"

Ji Dong: ...It doesn't have to be like this. There is no silver three hundred taels here?

He was not in a hurry to say anything else, but asked about the rewards received by those kneeling in the hall.

These people are divided into three groups.

It's quite complicated.

A group is the man in the long gown and a short and thin boy.

One group is the group of gangsters who seem to have written on their faces that they are not successful enough but that they are not good enough, and it is unexpected that they can get a job.

In the other group, there was only one person—the man in black with a wounded arm.

This person was particularly silent, he didn't speak until now, and replied: "One hundred taels."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two groups immediately looked at him with hatred.

One hundred taels...!

He charged a hundred taels alone?

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 tricked by others - what did she buy for one hundred taels? Self-defeating confidence?

"That is to say, you spent one hundred and sixty taels of silver just for hiring people." Ji Dong looked at Zhan Yunjiao: "And you just said that your mother is sick, and you don't even have the silver for the medicine." No—then where did you get the money from?"

Hearing this question, Zhan Yunjiao clutched his sleeves tightly.

Xu Mingyi's eyes turned to the crowd outside the hall intentionally or unintentionally.

She is not in a hurry.

Zhan Yunjiao can delay for a little longer.

In this way, the chance of that person appearing will be greater——

Thank you for your rewards and monthly tickets, good night everyone.
