Chapter 123: Report Evil Deeds, Investigate Faults, and Execute!

Brother Jiang?

Mo Lingwei frowned slightly for the first time.

His arm subconsciously stretched out in front of Shen Ningning, then clasped it with his backhand and pressed it on her shoulder.

This kind of posture is silently full of possessiveness.

But Mo Lingwei didn't realize it, he just reacted instinctively.

And Shen Ningning didn't understand even more. She thought her brother was afraid that she would fall, so he wanted to hold her tighter.

Jiang Zhi came in carrying a dying man.

Then, with a push on her shoulder, the assassin was thrown to the ground and let out a groan of pain.

Jing Zhaoyin was confused: "What is this?"

Shen Ningning said: "The night I lived in the Wu family, I went up the mountain with my brother Zuchang to look at the moon, but we encountered a group of assassins. Fortunately, I was able to save my life because of the wolves."

"This assassin is the only one left alive. The others were bitten to death by wolves, and their bodies are piled in the wolf's den. If the official uncle wants to see it, I can bring it to you."

Jiang Zhi put down a bag of things on her back: "And this."

Unwrapped the package, it was filled with gold.

This is also obtained from the Wu family.

Shen Ningning said: "Uncle Wu said that a nobleman named Mr. Wei gave these gold to his family and asked them to adopt me as their daughter."

Mo Lingwei frowned: "Why would the Wei family have such a request?"

Jing Zhaoyin also noticed the strangeness of the matter.

He asked the assassin sternly: "Tell me! Who paid you to kill me?"

The assassin's throat had been bitten, and he could only make a struggling sound of "ho ho" from his mouth.

He pointed to a painting hanging next to Jing Zhaoyin.

Everyone looked.

This is a painting painted by a famous artist of the previous generation, a picture of a cuckoo weeping blood.

Hanging it in the government office is to scare every prisoner and make him answer truthfully in all cases, so as to prevent his family from being extremely sad like in this painting.

The assassin pointed at the painting and shouted loudly.

Then, it suddenly stopped moving.

Wang Liang stepped forward to confirm and said to Jing Zhaoyin: "I bit my tongue and committed suicide."

Jing Zhaoyin frowned and looked at the painting on the side: "Du Juan weeps blood. It seems that it is Du Yuanwai."

at this time.

A yamen servant hurriedly ran to the door, panting: "Sir Jing Zhaoyin, Du Yuanwai committed suicide and left a blood letter!"

"Send it up."

Jing Zhaoyin took the blood book and read it once, then stood up in person, walked to Mo Lingwei, and handed it over with both hands.

Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning watched it together.

It was indeed Du Yuanwai's handwriting, and he admitted the evil deeds he had done.

It was similar to what Qin Sheng explained, he was afraid that Shen Ningning would tell what he saw.

In the blood letter, Du Yuanwai took all the responsibility on himself and hoped that the emperor would forgive his family.

He said that because he wanted to trap Shen Ningning, he found the Wu family who fit the situation, and used Master Wei's name when buying him with gold. He was also afraid that the other party would find out his true purpose.

The reason was far-fetched, but everything worked out, including the fact that he received a sum of gold from Mr. Wei, all of which were confirmed by Du Fu's servants.

In this case, the case has been completed.

Shen Ningning also felt that it was probably Du Yuanwai who did it.

After all, Qin Fangmei hated her so much, and the deceased Aunt Qin was the sister of Du Yuanwai's wife.

Jing Zhaoyin brought the case to an end.

Mo Lingwei warned: "In this case, Du Yuanwai's body should be burned with fire and raised in front of the Wu family's tombstone. This can be considered as comfort to their souls in heaven."

Jing Zhaoyin quickly found someone to write down this request.

"Also, although Wei San was just borrowing money, he was too ignorant and rewarded him with fifty pieces. He said it was from this prince."

"yes."

The matter is finally settled.

But Grandma Qin suddenly stood up: "Official, Qin Sheng should also be sentenced to death!"

Everyone was stunned, and Shen Ningning looked at grandma.

Mo Lingwei had this plan. He only wanted to send Shen Ningning and Grandma Qin back before attacking Qin Sheng.

But after hearing what Grandma Qin said, he immediately asked: "How does the old lady want him to die?"

Qin Sheng turned pale with fright: "Mom? You can't do this to me!"

Grandma Qin didn't look at him.

He only said to Jing Zhaoyin: "Your Excellency, Your Highness the Crown Prince has learned clearly that he is old and incompetent and has raised his son so badly."

"If I remember correctly, the laws of this dynasty say that those who are unfilial to their parents will be punished with death."

"A few months ago, Qin Sheng and Wang Guihong threw me, who was old and paralyzed, into a mountain. They were afraid that I would crawl home. They even dug a hole and tied me to a rock."

"I want to report his evil deeds and hold him accountable. I want him to be executed according to law!"

Grandma Qin said it eloquently.

Qin Sheng was dumbfounded, looking at his mother in disbelief.

Jing Zhaoyin pondered: "Old madam, are you serious?"

"Seriously, I can't allow this bad debt to continue to live." Grandma Qin's tone was firm and calm.

Shen Ningning opened her round eyes with tears in her eyes: "Grandma..."

Grandma Qin has actually wanted to do this for a long time.

But at that time, she was not in good health and there was no investigation.

Moreover, although she hated Qin Sheng and Wang Guihong, she always thought that her grandchildren could not live without their parents, so she never mentioned them again.

But today after she learned that Ning Ning was almost bullied, she couldn't help it anymore.

Such beasts deserve to die!

Because she personally exposed it, and the prince personally testified for her, and just learned about some of Qin Sheng's bad deeds, Jing Zhaoyin quickly nodded: "Okay, write the ink and write the edict."

The imperial edict of crime was the most serious crime in Cangyun State, and the end result was basically death by slow slicing.

Qin Sheng was horrified and cried, "Mom! I am your only son, how can you be so cruel?"

Grandma Qin did not look at him, but walked towards Shen Ningning and held the little guy's hand distressedly.

"Ningning, don't be afraid in the future, we have finally come to a happy ending after all the hardships."

Qin Sheng was dragged away by Captain Wang and the officials, and his sad mood turned into resentment.

He cursed and cursed, "Old man, you will not die well! You even killed your own son, you are not a human being!"

Before he could curse a few words, Captain Wang punched him hard and Qin Sheng fainted.

Shen Ningning threw herself into Grandma Qin's arms, and the grievances of the past few years were finally completely washed away at this moment.

She was a person who was loved and protected by someone.

"Ningning, let's go home." Grandma took the little guy out.

Shen Ningning thought that Mo Lingwei had not caught up, and looked back, only to see him staring at the picture of the cuckoo crying blood.

He remained silent, and his white jade-like profile looked particularly gloomy and cold.

"Brother?"

Shen Ningning's call made Mo Lingwei's face more humane.

He smiled faintly: "I'm here. Let's go, I'll take you back."

The group left the government office.

What Mo Lingwei didn't tell Shen Ningning was that before the assassin died, although he was referring to Du Juan's tears, he didn't seem to be talking about Du Yuanwai.

If he remembered correctly, this painting was previously collected by Wei Shangshu at a high price.

Because by chance, he presented it to the emperor, and the emperor gave it to the government office in the capital, and then it was hung there as a painting to warn prisoners.

If this matter had little to do with the Wei family, Concubine Li would not be so panicked.

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows, his eyes dark, as if he was condensing a violent storm that could easily disintegrate and destroy a person.

Wei family...

He was thinking, if it was really the Wei family who took action, then what was their reason for wanting Shen Ningning's life.

Unless...Mr. Du is secretly Minister Wei's man.
