Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 25 The Truth
The noon sun shines through the eaves of the government office and onto the screen where the sun rises in the east.

Through the screen, a faint light and shadow are drawn in the trial hall.

Zhang Guan was brought up again.

Wan Yan sat behind the screen this time, leaning forward as much as possible.

Zhang Guan's story about the past made the girl's heart flutter.

Su Jizhi's trial room was quiet, and he asked deeply, "Zhang Guan, do you have a wife?"

Wan Yan felt that Zhang Guan pondered for a moment: "Return to my lord, I have."

"Where is your wife now?"

"After my accident, she entered the Wei Mansion and is now Wei Zhengwu's third aunt."

"Have you been to her?"

"Why do you want to look for it? Not long after my accident, she entered the Wei Mansion. She treated me as dead, so why should I bother myself?"

Wan Yan thought of the third lady whom she had met once, and a ripple crossed her heart.
If she knew that Zhang Guan was still alive, would there be a smile on her cowardly and weak face?
"Zhang Guan, let's talk about what happened back then."

"After Li Dai died, I went to Wei Zhengwu in a fit of anger. He changed and was promoted to lieutenant general. He was invincible. My anger also made him want to kill."

The appearance of Wei Zhengwu that night appeared in Wan Yan's mind.

At this moment, the sun is just right, and it shines on the beams of the government office quietly and brightly.

What I hear in my ears is the most sinister side of the human heart.

"After returning to Beijing, I have been helping Wei Zhengwu. I said it was Wei Zhengwu, but it was actually the prince's business. Now that I think about it, Wei Zhengwu wanted to kill me a long time ago. First, I knew that the prince was cheating in the Shimen Bridge battle. Second, I Knowing that Shimen Bridge is a hoax."

"How did he kill you back then?"

Wan Yan heard from the third wife that two years ago, Zhang Guan delivered a batch of goods to Ganzhou, and when he reached the Canglan River, Zhang Guan fell into the river.

Now Zhang Guan's statement is consistent with that of the third lady, except that he said that when the boat reached the Canglan River, he was pushed into the river.

"Wei Zhengwu wants to kill you, do you have evidence?"

Wan Yan heard Zhang Guan snort coldly: "He admitted it himself before he died, besides, when Japan should go by land, Wei Zhengwu said that the other party was in a hurry and had to go by water. Alas, I was careless."

Zhang Guan let out a sigh.

"I realized that Wei Zhengwu was trying to harm me, but I didn't want to admit it. When I got on the boat that day, I found out that the porters had changed, and they were all Lianjiazi. I had doubts in my heart. After all, I still didn't believe that my former brothers could do this. .”

Zhang Guan sneered: "Actually, why don't you believe it? Wei Zhengwu even murdered Li Dai. I'm too stupid to hold a glimmer of hope in him,"

"They pushed you into the rushing river, how do you escape?"

"I am destined. Wei Zhengwu just wants to kill me, but he doesn't know that I am familiar with water. The moment I fell into the Canglan River, I understood everything. I dived into the deep water and dared not breathe. I dared not move until the boat was far away."

Wan Yan was amazed.

"But after going ashore, I lost my vitality. After living in the mountains for half a year, I didn't dare to go back to the capital. First, I was afraid that Wei Zhengwu would continue to kill me if he knew I was still alive. Second, I would not be able to go far if I was injured, so I just lived like this. "

Zhang Guan fell into grief: "I didn't know until I returned to Beijing that Wei Zhengwu not only married Li Dai's wife, but also took away my wife. I found out that she is now the third wife of the Wei family."

Zhang Guan laughed at himself: "That's fine, I started to wait for an opportunity to kill Wei Zhengwu without worries. When the flame of revenge was ignited in my body, I felt that my whole body was burning."

"You have been living in Tongshan Mansion?"

"Yes. I have been in poor health since Canglan River escaped. Although Wei Zhengwu has neglected to practice these years, his martial arts skills are still there. I want to kill him with a knife. I can only exercise my body to ensure that there will be no problems."

Wan Yan couldn't imagine Zhang Guan's mood. The flame of revenge burned him, so he could last for three years.

There was no sound in the trial hall for a while, and then Wan Yan smelled the musty smell of the prison mixed with the fragrance of the powder.

Then there was a plop, "The daughter of the people has seen the adults."

Wan Yan's heart trembled, it was Tang Hong.

Zhang Guan's voice sounded: "Tang Hong..."

"Brother Zhang!"

Wan Yan heard the sound of crying.

Zhang Guan: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you."

"I don't blame anyone." Tang Hong then said: "My lord, please be clear, Wei Zhengwu deserves to die. Brother Zhang was persecuted by Wei Zhengwu, and the women of the people participated in it. Please spare my brother's life, my lord."

Tang Hong continued eagerly: "It's true that you pay for your life, but Brother Zhang and I both participated in the killing of Wei Zhengwu. If Brother Zhang bears the responsibility for the murder, it will be half of me."

Wan Yan didn't know what to say.

Master Su said slowly: "You pay for your life? You know that you pay for your life, Tang Hong, then let me ask you, why don't you want to pay for your life when you threw Xue Wanyan's hairpin at the scene of the crime?"

Su Jizhi said coldly, "You keep showing your sincerity. Do you think this officer is too kind? Or are you taking the murder case as a joke?"

Wan Yan raised her heart.

"Tang Hong, you cover criminals and harbor murder weapons. This is a capital crime. How do you want to bear it for Zhang Guan? You planted Wanyan and let Wei Zhengwu overdose Hehuansan. Tanghong, you are already a capital crime!"

Tang Hong stopped crying, she was dumbfounded.

Zhang Guan said earnestly: "My lord, Tang Hong doesn't know anything. I guessed that Wei Zhengwu would stay in the Jiaofang Division and get close to Tang Hong on purpose. It was I who asked her to serve Wei Zhengwu in Hehuan San. Tang Hong was killed by me. coercion to do these things.”

A gavel.

Wan Yan hid behind the screen and was startled.

"You don't have to act in front of this officer. I have my own conclusions about the crime of murder. Now let me tell you what happened on the night of the crime."

Zhang Guanxian said: "I was waiting in the Plum Blossom Hall that night. I poured the acacia powder into the jug and asked Tang Hong to approach Wei Zhengwu. Sure enough, Wei Zhengwu didn't shirk and drank it all."

Master Su asked Tang Hong: "Now tell me, how do you get close to Wei Zhengwu?"

Tang Hong's voice was in a trance: "I heard Wei Zhengwu calling Wan Yan to serve him, but Wan Yan was still on the stage at that time, so I pretended to admire Wei Zhengwu and persuaded him to drink a pot of wine."

Wan Yan's ear tips are hot.

A trace of anxiety flashed across Su Jizhi's heart.

It turns out that the word admiration is as easy in the mouths of these girls as eating and sleeping.

Sure enough, Wan Yan's admiration for her does not exist at all.

Wan Yan didn't know that the adult who was only separated by a screen was now in a low mood, she was still thinking, the adult was thoughtful, and next time he had a good word.

Two people's thoughts were tumbling.

Wan Yan heard Zhang Guan slowly say: "When Wei Zhengwu was drinking flower wine, I hid in the Plum Blossom Hall. Tang Hong went to inquire several times, and knew that Wei Zhengwu was already too strong to drink."

Wan Yan remembered that she met Tang Hong that night, and Tang Hong also hinted that Wei Zhengwu had taken Hehuansan. It turned out that everything was arranged by them.

"A few hours ago, I heard that Wan Yan had left and Wei Zhengwu was alone in the Peony Hall, so I took a dagger and went through the window."

"Everyone knows what happened next, and it's what everyone saw. Although Wei Zhengwu was unconscious, he was scared to death when he saw me. I got an affirmative answer and killed him with a knife."

Zhang Guan let out a long sigh of relief: "That's it. I took revenge. I did everything. It has nothing to do with Tang Hong. Please excuse me, my lord."

Su Jizhi snorted coldly: "Where is the murder weapon? Where did you put it?"

Zhang Guan wanted to quibble, but Su Jizhi said coldly, "Don't try to deceive me!"

Wan Yan's heart clenched.
