Brother Jiang?
Mo Lingwei frowned slightly for the first time.
His arm subconsciously stretched out in front of Shen Ningning, then clasped it with his backhand and pressed it on her shoulder.
Such a posture is silently full of possessiveness.
But Mo Lingwei didn't realize it, he just reacted instinctively.
And Shen Ningning didn't understand even more. She thought her brother was afraid that she would fall, so he wanted to hold her tighter.
Jiang Zhi came in carrying a dying man.
Then, with a push on her shoulder, the assassin was thrown to the ground and let out a groan of pain.
Jing Zhaoyin was confused: "What is this?"
Shen Ningning said: "The night I lived in the Wu family, I went up the mountain with my brother Zuchang to look at the moon, but we encountered a group of assassins. Fortunately, I was able to save my life because of the wolves."
" This assassin is the only one left alive. The others were bitten to death by wolves, and their bodies are piled in the wolf den. If the official uncle wants to see it, I can also bring it to you."
Jiang Zhi put a bag on her back Putting the things down: "And this."
Unwrapped the package, it was filled with gold.
This is also obtained from the Wu family.
Shen Ningning said: "Uncle Wu said that this gold was given to his family by a nobleman named Mr. Wei, asking them to adopt me as their daughter."
Mo Lingwei frowned: "Why would the Wei family have such a request?"
Jing Zhaoyin also noticed the strangeness of the matter.
He asked the assassin sternly: "Tell me! Who paid you to kill yourself?"
The assassin's throat had been bitten, and he could only make a struggling sound of "ho ho" from his mouth.
He pointed to a painting hanging next to Jing Zhaoyin.
Everyone looked.
This is a painting painted by a famous artist of the previous generation, a picture of a cuckoo weeping blood.
Hanging it in the government office is to scare every prisoner and make him answer truthfully in all cases, so as to prevent his family from being extremely sad like in this painting.
The assassin pointed at the painting and shouted loudly.
Then, it suddenly stopped moving.
Wang Liang stepped forward to confirm and said to Jing Zhaoyin: "I bit my tongue and committed suicide."
Jing Zhaoyin frowned and looked at the painting on the side: "The cuckoo is weeping blood. It seems that it is Du Yuanwai."
Right here. hour.
A yamen servant hurriedly ran to the door, panting: "Sir Jing Zhaoyin, Du Yuanwai committed suicide and left a blood letter!"
"Send it over."
Jing Zhaoyin took the blood letter and read it, then stood up in person and walked to In front of Mo Lingwei, he handed it over with both hands.
Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning watched it together.
It was indeed Du Yuanwai's handwriting, and he admitted the evil deeds he had done.
It was similar to what Qin Sheng explained, he was afraid that Shen Ningning would tell what he saw.
In the blood letter, Du Yuanwai took all the responsibility on himself, hoping that the emperor would forgive his family.
He said that because he wanted to trap Shen Ningning, he found the Wu family who fit the situation, and used Master Wei's name when buying him with gold. He was also afraid that the other party would find out his true purpose.
The reason was far-fetched, but everything worked out, including the fact that he received a sum of gold from Mr. Wei, which was confirmed by the servants of the Du family.
In this case, the case has been completed.
Shen Ningning also felt that it was probably Du Yuanwai who did it.
After all, Qin Fangmei hated her so much, and the deceased Aunt Qin was the sister of Du Yuanwai's wife.
Jing Zhaoyin brought the case to an end.
Mo Lingwei warned: "In this case, Du Yuanwai's body should be burned with fire and raised in front of the Wu family's tombstone. It can also be considered as comfort to their souls in heaven."
Jing Zhaoyin quickly found someone to write down this request.
"Also, although Wei San was just borrowing money, he was too confused and rewarded him with 50 yuan. He said it was the prince who told him."
"Yes."
The matter was finally settled.
But Grandma Qin suddenly stood up: "Official, Qin Sheng should also be sentenced to death!" Everyone was stunned, and Shen Ningning looked at grandma.
Mo Lingwei had this plan. He only wanted to send Shen Ningning and Grandma Qin back before attacking Qin Sheng.
But after hearing what Grandma Qin said, he immediately asked: "How does the old lady want him to die?"
Qin Sheng turned pale with fright: "Mom? You can't do this to me!"
Grandma Qin didn't look at him.
He only said to Jing Zhaoyin: "Your Excellency, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has clearly seen that he is old and incompetent, and his son has been raised so badly."
"If I remember correctly, the law of this dynasty says that those who are unfilial to their parents will be punished with death for serious crimes."
"A few. A month ago, Qin Sheng and Wang Guihong threw me, an old and paralyzed person, into a mountain. They were afraid that I would crawl home. They even dug a hole and tied me to a rock."
"I want to report his evil deeds and hold him accountable. It's his fault, I want him to be executed according to law!"
Grandma Qin said loudly.
Qin Sheng was dumbfounded, looking at his mother in disbelief.
Jing Zhaoyin pondered: "Old madam, are you serious?"
"Seriously, I can't live with this bad debt." Grandma Qin's tone was firm and calm.
Shen Ningning opened her round eyes with tears in her eyes: "Grandma..."
Grandma Qin had actually wanted to do this for a long time.
But at that time, she was not in good health and there was no investigation.
Moreover, although she hated Qin Sheng and Wang Guihong, she always thought that her grandchildren could not live without their parents, so she never mentioned them again.
But today after she learned that Ning Ning was almost bullied, she couldn't help it anymore.
Such beasts deserve to die!
Because she personally exposed it, and the prince personally testified for her, and just learned about some of Qin Sheng's bad deeds, Jing Zhaoyin quickly nodded: "Okay, write a pen and ink, and write an imperial edict."
The imperial edict is the Cangyun Kingdom. The most serious crimes usually resulted in execution by Ling Chi.
Qin Sheng was shocked and cried: "Mom! I am your only son, how can you be so cruel?"
Grandma Qin did not look at him, but walked towards Shen Ningning, holding the little guy's hand distressedly.
"Ning Ning, don't be afraid in the future. We have endured all the hardships."
Qin Sheng was dragged away by the king and the officials, and his sadness turned into resentment.
He cursed and cursed: "Old man, you don't deserve to die! You even killed your own son, you are not a human being!"
Before he could curse a few words, Wang Captou punched him so hard that Qin Sheng fainted.
Shen Ningning threw herself into Grandma Qin's arms. The grievances she had suffered over the past few years were finally completely washed away at this moment.
She is someone who is loved and protected by someone.
"Ning Ning, let's go home." Grandma led the little guy out.
Shen Ningning thought that Mo Lingwei had not followed, so she looked back and saw him staring at the picture of a cuckoo weeping blood.
He was silent and his handsome white face looked extremely cold and gloomy.
"Brother?"
Shen Ningning's call made Mo Lingwei's face look more humane.
He smiled faintly: "Here we come. Come on, I'll take you back."
The group left the government office.
What he didn't tell Shen Ningning was that Mo Lingwei felt that although the assassin was referring to Du Juan crying blood before his death, he didn't seem to be talking about Du Yuanwai.
If he remembered correctly, this painting had been collected by Wei Shangshu for a large sum of money.
Because of an accident, he dedicated it to the emperor, who then gave it to the capital government office. It has been hanging ever since as a painting to alert prisoners.
If this matter had nothing to do with the Wei family, Concubine Li would not be so panicked.
Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes dark, as if a violent storm had gathered together, which could easily disintegrate and destroy a person.
The Wei family...
He was thinking, if it was really the Wei family that took action, then what was their reason for wanting Shen Ningning's life.
Unless... Du Yuan is secretly a member of Wei Shangshu.
