After wearing books, I was spoiled by my nemesis

Chapter 113

"I can throw you on the street right now."

Zeng An was a little scared, he was afraid that what the other party said was true.

"If I said that I killed the young master, then I can't escape death."

"As I said, our prince only cares about the safety of the princess, and he doesn't care about the lives of the rest. If you can name the person who ordered you to do this, the prince will definitely save your life."

Zeng An hesitated, the person just now really wanted to kill him, and he knew his actions well, he had no enemies or acquaintances in the city, except for offending the prince, who came to him and asked him to harm his son people.

Jiuye continued: "If you identify our princess as a murderer, we will definitely not want you to die, because if you die, then our princess will really become a murderer. Think about it yourself."

There is some truth in what he said.

Zeng An finally said: "I don't know who he is either. He gave me the banknote and asked me to kill the son and framed a woman and a man."

"You can think about it very openly. Tomorrow you will tell the officials who are adjudicating these words, our prince will definitely protect you from death."

"Then where am I going now? If you leave, will they come back to harm me. "

"You come with us tonight, we will protect you, but you said that he gave you a bank note, you have to take out the bank note as evidence, so that your words will be credible."

"it's here."

Zeng An took out the banknote from under the pillow, and handed it to Jiu Ye, who held it, looked at it, and handed it to him, saying: "Put it on your body, and tomorrow you will take out the bank note to the adjudicator." look."

"I see."

Zeng An's bowels are now remorseful, and being threatened by others to do things, not only harmed his son, but also himself could not escape bad luck. His tears flowed down, and his nose also flowed out while crying. After he wiped his tears and nose, And wept again.

After Zeng An cried, Jiu Ye took him to a safe place, and then went back to report to Chu Yun that the matter was resolved. Chu Yun was overjoyed after hearing this, he could finally go to sleep after being worried for so long.

"You go and let the princess go to the government. Zeng An will definitely be summoned in the trial tomorrow, and the grievances of the princess will be cleared by then."

Jiu Ye was busy looking for Zhao Yinger, and when she came to the place where Zhao Yinger lived, it was early in the morning, and Zhao Yinger was sleeping when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

She opened her eyes in a daze, put on her clothes and got out of bed, walked to the door and opened it, only to find that it was Jiuye.

"Jiuye, it's you. I was looking for you the day before yesterday. Why did you come now, and it's not yet dawn? Why did you come so early? You're so sleepy. Don't come so early next time."

Jiu Ye saw Zhao Ying'er covered her mouth and made a face, and her hair was messed up. He smiled and said, "Princess, you should wash and dress up quickly. The prince asked me to come to you. You will follow us to the government in a while and kill Zeng Ye's murderer has been found."

Zhao Ying'er, who was originally full of sleepiness, was immediately full of energy when she heard this: "Who is it? I must go and ask him why he did this, why he ran away after finishing it, and let me take the blame."

"That follower did it. Someone threatened him to kill Zeng Ye, otherwise he would die."

"What?" Zhao Ying'er's eyes widened. She didn't expect him to be the murderer. No wonder he kept framing her. It turned out that he wanted to find the scapegoat.

Damn, so hateful, this kind of person has a very bad conscience.

"You said he was threatened?"

"Yes, the man gave him a sum of money and asked him to kill Zeng Ye. If he doesn't agree, he will die."

"Even if he is threatened, he can't do bad things. He can pretend to agree first, and then report to the officials, so that Zeng Ye will not die. In the end, he still has an eye for money and wants money."

"He might have thought that."

"Where is he now?"

"In a safe place, today he will go to court to testify for you, saying that he killed the person and has nothing to do with you."

Although Zhao Ying'er was angry, she still suppressed her emotions. After all, Zeng An was also forced. Although he also had greedy thoughts, he was about to be punished.

"Then when do we go to the government?"

"You can go now, and you can rest assured that the case will be finished as soon as possible, lest there will be another accident."

"it is good."

Zhao Ying'er went back to the house, combed her hair, washed her face, drank a few sips of tea, and followed Jiu Ye to the front of the government.

When she appeared at the gate of the government mansion, she found that there was no one in front of the mansion. They should have gone to the city to look for her, and some of them might have gone back to rest.

She got out of the carriage, looked at the deserted gate and said, "There is no one, should we wait here?"

"Beat the drums, get promoted early and finish early."

Zhao Ying'er started to beat the drum, and the loud drum sound woke up the people in the government. They rushed out to check, and when they saw that it was the person they were looking for, their jaws were shocked.

I searched the city almost all over the past two days, but I didn't catch her. I didn't expect her to come to the door by herself.

But now there are only the two of them in the mansion, and the rest of the yamen servants either went home or went to arrest people. They were afraid that she would run away, so they wanted to come over and tie her up.

Jiuye blocked them: "Boldly, our princess can't be touched by your dirty hands. Go and inform your adults and let him put on clothes to judge the case."

These two yamen servants are extremely strange, how could they have surrendered themselves and brought bodyguards with them, they are not here to go to jail, they are clearly putting on airs.

"You wait here, I will inform the adults right away."

A yamen servant turned around and ran towards the inside, leaving another yamen servant to watch them.

Mr. Zhang, who was in charge of the trial, was sleeping when he heard the sound of drumming, so he got up, dressed and lit the lamp, and saw that the sky outside was still dark. He wondered, "It's early in the morning, who is beating the drums?"

After he got dressed, he heard someone knocking on the door, and asked, "Who is playing the drum?"

The yamen servant said excitedly: "My lord, Zhao Ying'er was caught, and now she is outside, she was the one who was beating the drum just now."

Master Zhang, who was full of drowsiness, was instantly refreshed when he heard these words. He walked to the door and opened it in a few steps. His voice was as loud as that of a young man: "Go, go and have a look."

They came to the court and asked Zhao Yinger to come in, but found that there were only two servants in the entire yamen, Master Zhang asked them to call someone over.

After all the people are called back, they will be raised to interrogate the prisoners.

Mr. Zhang said: "Who is standing under the hall?"

Before he was convicted, he didn't dare to let Zhao Ying'er kneel down to him, because he heard that the prince was a person who would take revenge, and he was afraid that if he treated her badly, he would be retaliated by Chu Yun, but Once the evidence is conclusive, Chu Yun will be convinced.

"Zhao Yinger."

"Zhao Ying'er, are you convicted?"

"What crime did you commit? Please tell me."

"You poisoned Zeng Ye at the inn, your accomplices have already recruited, so you have nothing to argue about."

"I'm wronged. I'm here today to defend my grievances. I also have a witness who can prove that I didn't do anything wrong."

"Nonsense, the court is not a place for you to talk nonsense."

"If your lord doesn't believe it, just pass him over and ask."

If it was an ordinary woman, he would have served her on a large scale long ago, but the woman in front of her has a special status, so she still has to give her the face she deserves.

"Okay, I believe you won't answer, but if he can't testify for you, then you should honestly admit what you did."

"Okay, my lord will bring him here first."

"Who is the witness for you? Where does he live?"

Zhao Ying'er glanced at Jiuye, who said, "He's outside now, sir can let him in."

"Okay, go and bring him in."

The yamen servant went out shrewdly, and when he came back, he brought Zeng An in.

Mr. Zhang saw that Zeng An knew him. Isn't this the one who identified Zhao Yinger as the murderer? Why did he retract the confession again and exonerated her.

Zeng An walked in and knelt on the ground with a plop, lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Who is kneeling under the stage?"

"Sinner Zeng An, pay your respects to your lord."

"Zeng An, you accused Zhao Ying'er of poisoning your young master a few days ago, why did you come today?"

Although he knew that Zeng An was going to retract his confession, he still wanted to ask.

"The sinner is guilty. It's not that she killed my son, but the sinner poisoned my son."

This sentence shocked Mr. Zhang, and the reversal came too fast.

"Zeng An, I have this official who decides for you. If you have anything to say, just say it. I will ask you again. Did you poison your young master to death?"

"Yes, that's right."

Zeng An's head was bowed, his face was full of remorse.

"Why did you kill your son?"

"It was the criminal who was in the house that day, but suddenly a person broke in. He threatened me, asked me to poison the young master, and gave me a huge amount of money. I didn't want to, but he said that if I didn't want to, I would After killing me, I was forced to do nothing but do what he said. He said that after I poisoned the young master, a man and a woman would come, and then I just insisted that they killed the young master. "

"Nonsense, that's not what you said a few days ago. If it's true, it means that you were deceiving me a few days ago."

"Criminals are forced to do so."

"He despises the court with his mouth full of lies, come here, and give Zeng An thirty slaps to see if he tells the truth."

"My lord, what I said this time is true. If you don't believe me, I have the bank note that the man gave me, and I will show you."

Seeing that the yamen servant was about to hold him down and beat him, Zeng An hurriedly said.

"Bring it up."

Zeng An took out a bank note, the yamen servant took it, and handed it to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang looked at it, and it was indeed a large amount of bank note, and he was just a small follower, so it is impossible to have so many bank notes.

"Bold, you took advantage of your young master's death to steal his bank note, despise the court, and deceive this official. What should you do? Come here and beat me hard."

When Zhao Yinger heard this, the official was really confused.

Mr. Zhang also took advantage of Chu Huaiyuan, and he had a relationship with Chu Huaiyuan, so he would naturally work for Chu Huaiyuan.

On the one hand, he couldn't offend Chu Yun too much, and on the other hand, he had to complete what Chu Huaiyuan had entrusted to him. He also expressed that it was very difficult, so he could only present evidence and block everyone's mouth with evidence.

When there is no evidence, then create evidence, such as Ye Qi's confession, that is, after he had someone knock Ye Qi unconscious, he took his hand to draw a charge.

"I didn't steal this bank note. If you don't believe me, I still have a wound on my chest. I didn't want to hurt you, so he cut my chest. I won't lie about it, and I won't scratch it myself." Take the knife yourself."

As Zeng An spoke, he tore off his clothes, revealing the wound on his chest.

The wound was casually not too deep, but in just a few days, it still hasn't healed, and a long scar can still be seen.

"Asshole, I don't know where I got the injury, but I went to the court to talk nonsense, come here, beat me."

Zhao Ying'er couldn't stand it anymore, she said: "Sir, how can you conclude that Zeng An is telling lies, and how can you conclude that what he said a few days ago is the truth, he has already produced evidence, a large amount of money, The scar on the chest, these were all rejected by you, but he didn't provide any evidence a few days ago, you just believed what he said."

"That's why he is a troublemaker. He didn't pay attention to this official, and has been deceiving this official."

"My lord, I am innocent. I went to Zeng Ye that day and night seven, just to talk to him about the painting. I didn't expect to see that he had been poisoned and died when I got there. And I have no grievances with him. , and I don’t know him well, why should I harm him, what is my motive for harming him?”

"Princess Chu wants me to convince you. Then I will talk about your psychology. You and Ye Qi went to ask Zeng Ye for a painting, but Zeng Ye ignored him, so you hate him. If he fails to ask for a painting, he will be killed."

"Nonsense, Zeng Ye has already given it to me, I'm going to thank him, why should I harm him?"

Now it was Mrs. Zhang's turn to be confused. Zeng Ye had painted for her, why no one mentioned this matter.

Seeing that the reasons just mentioned were not valid, he changed his words again: "He gave you the painting, but you were dissatisfied with his arrogance, so you poisoned him and poisoned him to death."

Zhao Ying'er laughed when she heard it, this man was talking nonsense.

"My lord, you bring Ye Qi up, I want to confront him face to face, he can't say that I killed Zeng Ye."

"Do you meet anyone you want? Who do you think you are?"

After Master Zhang blushed and shouted this sentence, he saw Chu Yun standing outside, and Chu Yun was staring at him, which made him put away his arrogance and his words softened.

"Go and bring Ye Qi over."

After receiving the order, the yamen servant went to the prison and dragged Ye Qi, who was covered in wounds, over.

Ye Qi is now in poor condition except for his clothes being cleaner. His lips are very dry and there are bloodstains on the corners of his mouth. He has been beaten so hard that he has no strength to walk.

After he was brought to court, Master Zhang said, "Ye Qi, did she poison Zeng Ye's tea and poison Zeng Ye to death?"

When Ye Qi saw Zhao Yinger, he shook his head slowly. He never said that it was her who poisoned him, because she really did not do this thing. Even if he was threatened, if he didn't say so, he would report to the emperor. Report on his father, saying that his father is corrupt.

Although he struggled in his heart when he heard this, he thought that Zhao Ying'er hadn't made any mistakes, so why did he frame her? Just because his father made mistakes, did he ask her to bear their mistakes?
No, he can't do that. If he does, he's no different from a murderer.

"No, I didn't see her poisoning Zeng Ye. We went to find Zeng Ye that day, just to invite him to dinner."
