Chapter 83 Stop Arguing

Hua Niang fell to her knees, "Master Zhou threatened Hua Niang, that's why...he concealed it from the prince."

"You nonsense, you, you all framed this official!" Zhou Zheng held back his anger and glared at the few people in the lobby.

"Since Mr. Zhou keeps saying that they are framing, why are you so excited?" Murong Che looked over with cold eyes.

Then, Bai Lihe sternly said, "Hua Niang, until now, you still haven't told me what happened?"

Hua Niang's body trembled, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Today, it's up to the son to decide."

Murong Che nodded slightly, Hua Niang looked at Zhou Zheng, and said eloquently, "Half a month ago, the Minister of the Household Department came to Baihualou and asked Yingying to accompany him. Not long after, Master Zhou also came, and they drank and wrote poems. We talked very happily. But the next morning, I found that the servant of the household department had died on Yingying's couch, and Master Zhou and Yingying had disappeared. Her good friend Wu Sheng was also missing. At that time, I thought the servant of the household department Yingying was afraid of death, so she ran away with Wu Sheng. However, the servant of the household department died in Baihualou, and I couldn't bear the burden of Hua Niang, so I went to Jingzhao Mansion to find Mr. Zhou, and asked Yingying and Wu Sheng to be rescued. Unexpectedly, Lord Zhou took me directly to a private prison, where Yingying and Wu Sheng were imprisoned at that time, their faces were covered with mulberry paper, motionless..."

As if touching the fear deep in her memory, Hua Niang trembled violently, and slowly looked at Zhao Hu, "At that time, this person was still sticking mulberry paper on the faces of Yingying and Wu Sheng."

Zhao Hu, who was pointed out, kowtowed non-stop, "The little man knows his mistake, he knows his mistake..."

"At that time Master Zhou threatened me to be obedient, otherwise I will end up like Yingying and the others!"

"What did he ask you to do?"

"Master Zhou asked me to rot this matter in my stomach, and then send someone to notify the household servant's wife to come to collect the body, saying that it was an act of death."

"Afterwards, Mrs. Hubu Shilang reported the case to Dali Temple, and he asked you to erase Yingying's characteristics in your statement, right?" Bailihe asked.

"Yes." Hua Niang nodded.

"It's nonsense, I don't know her at all, and I haven't been to Baihualou!" Zhou Zheng's forehead was full of veins because of his anger.

However, Murong Che didn't ask him at all, and looked directly at Zhao Hu, "Can you plead guilty?"

Zhao Hu was already frightened by the torture of the pot just now, and kowtowed again: "My son, the villain pleaded guilty. I know that I have committed a serious crime and I cannot escape death. I only hope that my son can give the villain a happy life."

"My son asks you, Master Zhou ordered you to light the fire last night?"

"Yes."

"Did the old couple misidentify their daughter because of Mr. Zhou's threats?"

"Yes."

"Half a month ago, were Yingying and Wu Sheng killed by you pasting mulberry paper?"

"Yes, villain, this is also done according to Master Zhou's order."

Every time Murong Che asked, Zhou Zheng's complexion turned pale.

He glared at Zhao Hu angrily, and said angrily, "I treat you well on weekdays, why do you want to repay your favor?"

Then, he looked at Murong Che, "My lord, what they said is all nonsense, please listen to the official's explanation..."

"Lord Zhou, stop making excuses when the evidence is solid." Bailihe interrupted him.

"My son, Mr. Baili, I have been an official for ten years. I have always been upright and upright. I have never dared to take bribes, let alone kill people. Don't be fooled by villains and wronged good people..."
