Chapter 369 Inference of guilt
Master Yin said slowly: "It's almost fifteen miles from Fahua Temple to the county government office. After walking for fifteen miles, maybe the dirt on your feet has rubbed off?"

"What you said makes sense, so when I came back, I asked Captain Yu to lead the horse and walk from Fahua Nunnery to here. Yu Qing, take off your shoes."

Without saying anything, Yu Qing took off his boots and gave them to the yamen servant.

After the inspection, the officer said, "Sir, there is dark brown soil on the soles of Captain Yu's shoes."

"It rained last morning, and the dark brown soil is relatively sticky and difficult to remove unless washed with water. Jingwang's shoes are dry and there are no traces of cleaning. If you are worried, you can Send someone to Fahua Temple to give it a try."

"Perhaps she had noticed this a long time ago. After lighting the fire, she came out and changed into a pair of shoes?" Mr. Yin questioned again.

"I only have this pair of shoes." Qin Siyue said.

“Perhaps you wore someone else’s shoes to set a fire, and then changed into your own shoes after setting the fire.”

Qin Siyue:......

If she said that, then she had nothing to say.

"Sir, you have no evidence to prove that Jing Wang set the fire." Yu Qing couldn't bear it anymore and said.

Master Yin sneered: "You want evidence? The injuries on her body are evidence. There are seventeen people in Fahua Temple, but she is the only one alive, which is evidence."

Jiang Wanning sneered: "My lord, this is an inference of guilt, and the original intention is unfair."

"Besides, she is not the only one alive, there is also Jingxin. If she deliberately set fire to kill people, why would she save Jingxin. If everyone alive is suspicious, then wouldn't Jingxin also be suspicious?"

"Jingwang, has Jingxin ever bullied you?"

Qin Siyue nodded: "When I rescued her, I didn't know she was pure. At that time, there was thick smoke and darkness. I touched the person's back and ran out."

"But she didn't wake everyone up immediately. How is this any different from deliberately setting a fire?"

"Her situation and the adults she suffered are all aware of it. She doesn't want to save the people who bullied her, or she is worried that if she saves them, they will not be grateful to her and will continue to bully her. Sir, not everyone If you can repay evil with kindness, there are many people in this world who sweep away the snow in front of others and don't care about the frost on other people's roofs. We can only say that she has not cultivated enough virtue, but this is not the reason to condemn her. "

"Besides, she had already escaped, but she still chose to take the risk and go back to save people. After a lot of psychological games, she finally decided to repay evil with kindness."

"Master Qingping County, can you guarantee that she didn't set the fire?"

For a moment, everyone looked at Jiang Wan Ning.

Jiang Wanning sneered in her heart: Master Yin is trying to throw the blame on her!
"The trial of the case is your business. As long as you come up with solid evidence to prove that it was Jing who set the fire indiscriminately, I have no objection to the punishment."

Qin Siyue's eyes dimmed little by little.

Qin Siyue, Qin Siyue, what are you expecting?

You have done so many things that are sorry for her, how can you expect her to be your guarantor? You should be satisfied that she did not add insult to injury, not to mention that she also spoke justice for you.

At this moment, the official came to report: "Jingxin has awakened."

Master Yin: "Can you go to court to testify?"

The Yamen said: "It should be possible."

"Bring it up."

Not long after, Jingxin was carried up.

Lord Yin asked, "Jingxin, do you know what happened last night?"

Jing Xin shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "There was a fire. I ran outside, and then I didn't know."

"Do you have any objections to Master Shitai?"

Jingxin shook his head.

"Then have you ever participated in bullying Jingli?"

Jing Xin glanced at Jing Wang who was kneeling beside him, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head.

"Really? If what is said in court is false, the crime will be increased."

Jingxin looked horrified: "I was forced. If I don't bully her, I will be ostracized by Jingchen."

"So, all of you have bullied Jingwan?"

Jingxin nodded.

"Do you think she might set fire to kill you?" Jiang Wanning said: "Sir, you are trying to induce a confession."

Mr. Yin's eyes were serious: "Master Qingping County, I am now investigating the case."

Jiang Wan Ning shut up angrily.

"Pure your heart and answer truthfully."

"I...I think she probably hates us."

Yu Qing said anxiously: "You know, if Jingwang hadn't saved you, you would have been burned to death in the fire."

Jing Xin couldn't believe it. Was it Jing Wang who saved her?

Lord Yin gave a heavy slap in the face: "You must not interfere with my trial."

Yu Qing wanted to say something else, but Jiang Wanning stopped him with a look.

"Jingwang, what else do you have to say? You are the only one with the motive to kill."

Qin Siyue looked blank: "I have nothing to say."

"Then do you plead guilty?"

"deny."

"That being the case, don't blame me for serving you with severe punishments. When someone comes, I will hold my finger."

"Sir, are you going to give in?" Yu Qing's eyes were filled with anger, and he wanted to step forward, grab the dog officer, and give him a good beating.

"Be brave, come here and drive out the idlers." Mr. Yin was also angry and dared to roar in the court.

The officer was about to take action when someone said coldly: "Master Yin has such great official authority."

Everyone turned around and saw Gu Xiang, dressed in purple robe, walking slowly to the court.

Lord Yin hurriedly left his seat and greeted each other with a smile on his face: "Master Gu, why are you here?"

Gu Zhou stopped and glanced at Jiang Wan Ning, and then said: "His Royal Highness is concerned about this case and ordered me to come and see how the trial went."

"Sir, please take your seat."

"I'm just here to listen. Bring me a chair. I can sit here." Gu Zhouting pointed to the seat next to him.

Mr. Yin hurriedly ordered his men to move the chairs.

Gu Zhouting said again: "Why are you standing, Lord Qingping? You are also ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince to cooperate in investigating this case. You represent His Highness the Crown Prince. Who dares to let you stand?"

Master Yin was sweating coldly. Wasn't the Qingping County Lord sent by His Highness the Crown Prince to treat Jingxin? Why are they still cooperating in investigating the case? It's over, he was so disrespectful to the county lord just now.

"Oh, County Lord, since you were sent by His Highness the Crown Prince to coordinate the investigation, why didn't you say anything? Hurry up and give the County Lord a chair."

Jiang Wanning sat down calmly and glared at Gu Zhouting quietly.

Is it really okay to pull off such a big banner? Aren't you afraid that it will reach the ears of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Gu Zhouting raised his beautiful eyebrows. You are the prince's adopted sister. What are you afraid of?
"Master Yin, you continue, but you won't be able to do it if you beat him into a move." Gu Zhou stopped and said.

Mr. Yin repeatedly said yes and ordered people to remove the torture instruments.

Gu Zhouting had already signaled to the clerk to bring over the court trial records.

"Master Yin, continue."

"Ah? Oh..." Mr. Yin wiped the sweat from his forehead and lamented in his heart, how can he be tried? And cannot be punished.

I can only bite the bullet and say: "Jingwang, tell the truth how you set the fire."

"I didn't set the fire. I didn't set the fire."

"Then do you admit that you thought about killing them?"

"I've thought about it countless times. When they insulted and bullied me in every possible way, I wanted to kill them."

Yu Qing's face turned dark. Qin Siyue, can you stop being so serious? This is in court.

Today, the computer charging cable is out of work, so I can only code on my mobile phone. It’s too inconvenient. I’ll update a chapter today. I’m sorry, dear friends.
