Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 180
Chapter 180 Plead Guilty
Yesterday, Zhen Xiuxiu and Su Xiaoyan had appeared at the same time as the Taoist priest and Dao Child, so now that they were present, it was not ruled out whether Su Xiaoyan had given the two of them poison!
Su Wanwan frowned. Just as she was about to borrow the power of animals to bring Su Xiaoyan and Zhen Xiuxiu up to interrogate her earlier, a drum beating suddenly sounded at the door. “Aiyo, hey! Not alive! How heartless is it to be able to do this! How dare we trust him so much! Who would have thought …”
“…”
The sounds of crying and shouting were surprisingly Su Xiaoyan and Zhen Xiuxiu!
Su Wanwan was overjoyed and immediately said, “Your Excellency, the people outside are also the suspects of the Su Clan that Your Excellency has just mentioned. Please quickly send them to the court for interrogation, and they will be cleared next!”
The county magistrate immediately sent someone over. Su Xiaoyan said as she walked, “My lord! The grass dwellers want to sue Taoist Song Jin for stealing silver and escaping!”
Zhen Xiuxiu immediately echoed, “That Taoist priest was originally invited by my family to help exorcise evil spirits. Who would have thought that he would actually take a fancy to my family’s wealth and steal the silver taels! We only discovered it when we woke up at night! Lord, you must help us catch that Taoist priest!”
Song Jin? Qi Chengfeng smiled coldly and exchanged glances with Su Wanwan. Then, he walked to the side of the Taoist priest and lifted the cloth covering his face. “Are you two talking about this person?” He said.
“This!” Su Xiaoyan looked at the Taoist priest in shock, “He … How could he be dead?”
The county magistrate slapped the chopping board and asked someone to touch Song Jin’s body. Then, he took out a money bag and said, “Not to mention why he died, can I ask how much money the two of you were stolen?”
“Five taels of silver!” Su Xiaoyan said.
As soon as the county magistrate opened his purse, it was indeed five taels of silver!
Su Xiaoyan’s heart was incomparably calm, but a shocked expression suddenly appeared on her face. She said, “I didn’t expect him to be dead. It seems that the world thinks that we are suspected. We are willing to provide clues for the county magistrate.”
Su Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically. Su Xiaoyan said that she was suspicious and that she could provide clues, but she didn’t say that it was an ambush. Wasn’t this an excuse for her? He had just arrived and said that he had been stolen silver when he discovered it in the morning, so it was obvious that he was trying to create an alibi for himself! It was dark again. The people in the inn might not have noticed that she had gone out. With this reasoning, Su Xiaoyan did not seem to have anything to do with Song Jin’s death!
But–she didn’t believe it! Su Wanwan raised her eyebrows and asked, “If I heard correctly yesterday, the two of you have been outside my house, and … you promised that the Taoist priest would take away my junior sister’s soul and give him a large sum of money to let him leave?”
Hearing this, Su Xiaoyan’s expression changed. She thought to herself, “How did Su Wanwan know?” ‘”Young Master Beichuan reminded me! Song Jin must have been killed by my sister’s soul! My sister’s soul was sinister and vicious, and she was still alive after being immersed in the pig cage … It must be her!” Su Wan Wan thought for a moment before answering Su Wan Wan’s question.
The expressions of the people watching the case changed drastically. After hearing about this, they were immediately confirmed. They were both scared and shocked, “Ghost Murder?” This was not impossible! Previously, there was a man in our village who killed his wife, and then he came back drunk one day and saw his wife cooking for him! He realized that it was a ghost after he sobered up, but after he ate that meal, he became crazy! ”
“Ah! Is this really the case? There is also a matter in our village …”
“…”
Where is there a ghost in this world? It’s just a bunch of bullshit! Everyone was immediately caught in Su Xiaoyan’s trap. They had no choice but to praise Su Xiaoyan’s methods and leave!
Su Wanwan chuckled and applauded, “Miss Su is so amazing! She killed her sister with a Taoist priest who stole your money out of conscience!”
“Young Master Beichuan, what nonsense did you say? I wasn’t at home that day! It was my parents and the others! What does my sister’s death have to do with me? Besides, this Taoist priest is at least a Taoist priest, so how could he lie?” Su Xiaoyan’s face darkened.
“Looks like you’re still too naive. Killing my junior sister and not admitting it? How ridiculous!” Su Wanwan’s face turned cold. She firmly believed that it was Su Xiaoyan who had planned it. Then, she cupped her hands and walked towards the county magistrate with a sad face. After whispering for a while, the county magistrate nodded thoughtfully and said, “Someone! Capture Mrs. Zhen and interrogate them separately!”
The constable immediately walked over and fiercely put Zhen Xiuxiu’s head on a black cloth. He let Zhen Xiuxiu walk a few laps outside the house and brought Zhen Xiuxiu back. Just as Su Xiaoyan was about to say something, she was suddenly stuffed with a rag and tied up by a constable!
Before the black cloth in Zhen Xiuxiu’s eyes was removed, the constable said, “Here we are.” Zhen Xiuxiu knelt down and hurriedly exonerated herself. “County magistrate! Our mother and daughter really have nothing to do with Song Jin’s death! Su Wanwan died because she was evil and had nothing to do with us!”
“Humph! If you say no, then no?” The county magistrate had a headache, Now that a case had turned into three overlapping cases, the thought of Su Wanwan’s smart woman’s death made him feel regretful and angry. He calmed down the anger in his heart and looked at the fancy things on Su Xiaoyan’s head. He said, “Let’s not judge Su Wanwan’s death first, let’s talk about where you went last night.” Where did Su Xiaoyan go? We had an embroidered handkerchief on Song Jin’s body and traces of a hairpin scratching through it. On Song Jin’s head, we even found a hole inserted by the hairpin! It can’t be a ghost killing someone! We are certain that Su Xiaoyan killed Su Wanwan! ”
“Ah?” Zhen Xiuxiu was shocked!
Su Xiaoyan panicked! The county magistrate was obviously trying to get the truth out of Zhen Xiuxiu’s mouth! As for Zhen Xiuxiu, she clearly knew that she had gone out last night!
Su Xiaoyan hesitated to spit out the rag. When Su Wanwan saw it, she immediately covered Su Xiaoyan’s mouth and whispered, “Su Xiaoyan, you’re finished.”
The uneasiness in Su Xiaoyan’s heart grew stronger and stronger. To break free, Su Wanwan’s hand was like a tool of torture that could not be moved at all!
Su Xiaoyan’s uneasiness became more and more intense. Under everyone’s gaze, Zhen Xiuxiu began to speak incoherently, “Is it really Xiaoyan? She went out last night and had a night trip. She came back after a long time. Although she had changed her clothes, I heard that she fell and took off her clothes. I also smelled a bit of blood on her body …”
The more Zhen Xiuxiu said, the less confidence she had. The county magistrate had already made up his mind, signaling for the constable to uncover Zhen Xiuxiu’s black cloth and throw away the rope and rag on Su Xiaoyan’s body. Seeing her daughter in such a sorry state, Zhen Xiuxiu suddenly understood that this was a trap!
Zhen Xiuxiu felt that this matter was not uncommon, so she immediately knelt down and slapped her mouth, saying, “Actually, I killed her! It has nothing to do with my daughter! Don’t touch her!”
Once these words were spoken, everyone knew the truth! He immediately felt that it was Su Xiaoyan who did it! Zhen Xiuxiu did this just to make up for her sins and prevent Su Xiaoyan from being tortured!
Su Xiaoyan’s face was pale, and she secretly cursed Zhen Xiuxiu for being stupid!
When Su Wanwan saw this, the corners of her lips curved into a mocking arc. “Su Xiaoyan, don’t you admit your guilt? Do you want your mother to go to jail for you?”
Just as the county magistrate couldn’t bear to watch, he was about to file a case for conviction. However, drums rang out from outside the door and a man’s voice sounded, “I admit my guilt! I killed the person!”
The murderer wasn’t Su Xiaoyan? Everyone was shocked!
Su Wanwan frowned, feeling that something was wrong!
Even Su Xiaoyan was shocked. She didn’t hire anyone to help her plead guilty!
