Chapter 391 Assassin
Although this is the Ke family's banquet, it can be counted as the senior king of Zhongqin County.

The county lord Jiaming is his only direct daughter, so it is no exaggeration to say that gold is noble and jade is precious.

What's more, people say that everyone can help interrogate the thief, and no one can refute the county king's face.

Ke Yutang chuckled twice, and said, "It's best if the county king doesn't meet us, but I don't know what kind of thief it is?"

"This thief is so courageous that he actually wanted to assassinate my daughter! Fortunately, we stopped him on the spot. He originally wanted to hand him over to the government. But the thief said that the person who ordered him was here, so I sent him Bring it here."

When the people present heard this, they were in an uproar.They couldn't help looking left and right, looking at each other.

"My lord, maybe it's this thief who slanders a good person!" Ke Yutang said, "We have to guard against it."

"I thought so too, that's why I brought this thief here to question him face to face, and everyone helped check it out," said the King of Zhongqin County.

"That's right, then bring that thief here, I also want to see what this daring lunatic looks like?" Ke Yutang is the master, he has said so, and others naturally can't object.

What's more, there are many people who are curious.

Two servants from the Prince's Mansion escorted a man up, and everyone took a closer look. The man's arms were tied behind his back with ropes, and he was wearing a black night clothes.

With his head down, he couldn't see his face clearly.But his head is bald and has ring scars on it.

He was a monk!

"Everyone, please look, this is the man who intends to assassinate the little girl." The Duke said, "Raise his head, let everyone recognize him."

The attendant held the man's face and lifted it up. He was in his early forties, and his expression was indifferent.

Others are doing well, and the Zeng family can't sit still.

This person is clearly Zhifan from their family's temple, but why would she assassinate the county lord Jiaming?
"Nephew, let me tell you if your father is not here." King Zhongqin looked at Zeng Li and said, "Is this man from your family?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene became even more silent.

Zeng Li stood up, nodded and said: "This is indeed a nun in our family temple, whose Dharma name is Zhifan. It's just that we never knew that she would become a thief. Our two families have been good friends for generations, how could we instigate someone to kill her?" what about you?"

"Of course you didn't instigate it, even you were kept in the dark." The king said, "This man is hiding deep!"

Everyone was even more curious after hearing this. King Zhongqin said that the mastermind behind it was here, and that Zeng Li was also kept in the dark. This was obviously done by the Zeng family. Who is it?
"Let him talk about the rest!" the county king looked at Zhifan and said.

"The little county magistrate Zeng Ci asked me to do it." Zhi Fan raised his head and glanced at Zeng Ci, then quickly looked away.

"You bullshit!"

"how is this possible?!"

Concubine Zeng and Zeng Nian reprimanded Zhifan almost at the same time.

Zeng Li's eyes were gloomy, and he also didn't believe that his little sister would do such a thing.

There must be a misunderstanding!

"I don't dare to lie, the little county magistrate indeed instructed me to do this. On the twelfth day, she went to the family temple to find me and asked me to do two things for her. One was to find the fan who repaired Shame Hua Gezi's jewelry." Mentioning Dagu, there is one more thing to kill Jiaming County Lord." Zhi Fan confessed.

"I didn't, someone must have ordered him to do it! He was clearly slandering me! I did go to the family temple that day, but I went to burn incense and pray for my brother-in-law." Zeng Ci stood up, she would never admit it!

"Zeng Ci, there is a word for kindness in your name!" County Lord Jiaming looked at Zeng Ci and said, "I have never seen anyone who is more ruthless than you! I was just joking with you that day, and you thought I really wanted to To rob Ke Wangchen with you. They sent someone to kill me, but I didn't know that I was already prepared."

Hearing what she said, Zeng Ci not only didn't panic, but smiled and said: "I see, you must be jealous that I and Wang Chen are going to get engaged. And the Holy Majesty hasn't returned to Beijing, so you can't ask for marriage, so This trick was used to destroy our marriage.

County Lord Jiaming, a twisted melon is not sweet, don't you understand this sentence?You even deliberately took advantage of the Ke family's banquet to make me make a fool of myself in front of everyone.

In order to frame me, I did not hesitate to bribe the people in my temple to help you out.The thief shouts, "Stop the thief, who are the two of us who are cruel and merciless?" "

Many people believed Zeng Ci's words. When they don't know the truth, most people will inevitably think that what is said by the public is justified, and what is said by women is justified.

What's more, on weekdays, the head of Jiaming County acts in a public manner, while Zeng Ci is more gentle and low-key.

People tend to have a little more favorable opinion of people who act mildly, but people who feel too aggressive are too hard-edged, and it is inevitable to look sideways.

"Zeng Ci, I know you're eloquent and good at disguising, but it's okay. I have a lot of evidence, and there are more than one witness. Let's interrogate one by one and talk about it one by one. Retire, I'll bow down!" The county magistrate of Jiaming is also unforgiving, she and Ke Wangchen fell in love at first sight, if it wasn't for the sake of the overall situation, how could Zeng Ci be deceived and steal his name!

"Zhifan, do you still have a conscience? When you fell ill on the side of the road, who looked at you and rescued you?" Zeng Ci asked Zhifan who was kneeling on the ground, "You said you were desperate and wanted to die. It was me. The Lord, let you go to my temple to become a monk, and give you a shelter."

Zhi Fan lowered his head, and with a trace of guilt in his tone, he said, "Little county lord, you are indeed kind to me. But today I can no longer help you hide it."

Everyone in the Zeng family can still remember, about four or five years ago, once Zeng Ci went to the countryside for a walk, and on the way he picked up a woman who was about to die of illness and starvation.

Then he sent her to the family temple, shaved her hair and became a nun, that is, Zhifan.

"Zhifan, what's your common name? Tell everyone about your origin." Duke Zhongqin said.

"The villain was originally called Sun Duoshou, and he committed a crime in his hometown of Cangzhou in his early years, so he had to run away." Zhifan explained happily, "I met an old snake charmer in the rivers and lakes, and he taught me a lot of skills.

My nature is hard to change. I have raised two extremely poisonous snakes and used them to kill people and rob goods. I have committed murders in many places.

When I came to Beijing five years ago, I was bitten by a snake while catching snakes in the wild. It happened that the little county master passed by and rescued me.She saw that I was not a good person, and said that she would send me to the government.

I begged hard, hoping she would let me go.She agreed, but told me that I will do things for her in the future, and I must not be disobedient.

I thought instead of wandering around, hiding in Tibet.It's better to find a stable place to stay, anyway, I've been tired of this grassy life for so many years.

The little county lord asked me to dress up as a woman and go to her temple to be a nun.There is nothing wrong with the temple, it is indeed a good place to hide. "
