All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 150

After Lianqiao gritted her teeth and said this, she kowtowed heavily to Chu Yan, "Your Highness, the child in the womb of this servant is indeed the ninth master's. Every time the ninth master returns to the mansion, the old ancestor will arrange the slaves to take care of the ninth master. Lord Ninth gave the slaves to..."

Su Xian:? ? ?
"What did I do to you?" He asked in amazement, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be vague, just make it clear, so as not to be misunderstood."

Crowd: ...

Lian Qiao covered her face with a handkerchief, her crying became even more miserable, but her mouth was not idle, and she continued: "Master Nine only wants to promote his master's school, saying that he needs a lot of money, so he wants to take advantage of the old ancestor's life. Before the family is separated, send more money from the public. After the ancestor passes away, you can share the rest of the property with the big house."

"Later, he learned that the second grandma put tiger skin money outside and got a lot of dividends, so he moved his mind about tiger skin money."

"Using his innocence, he threatened his grandmother to find Mr. Nanshan to engrave a private seal for him. It's just that he was too greedy and trusted the Zhao family too much. He not only put his own money in, but also borrowed a lot of money from others. The Zhao family When he was down, he couldn't fill in the hole, so he thought he could separate the family from his uncle and get his share of the family property. But the old ancestor was alive, so the family couldn't be divided. He was also afraid that something would happen to the public, and the old ancestor would blame him if he knew it. The idea hit the ancestors..."

Lian Qiao said so much in one breath.

Not to mention everyone present, even the ancestors believed it.

It's not about Su Xian defrauding money to lend money, but about the children.

Indeed, every time Su Xian returned home, the ancestor would intentionally arrange for Lian Qiao to serve him.

The purpose is to keep Su Xian "opened up".

After going back and forth, my children can't control their Dao heart, and it's unknown.

She floated to Mama Xie again, and asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you say that the child in her womb is not Jiulang's?"

Thanks mom for choking.

Only now did she understand her granddaughter's intentions, and secretly regretted that she denied it too hastily.

"Yes...it belongs to Master Ninth." Mama Xie bit her bullet, "Slaves...slaves are afraid that you will be sad when you know the truth, so...that's why..."

Originally, the ancestors only cared about the child in Lianqiao's womb, if it was Jiulang's, then Jiulang would have a descendant.

She can also smile at Jiuquan.

But now, after Xie's mother mentioned it, the ancestor suddenly realized that if the child in Lianqiao's womb was Jiulang's.

Was it really Jiulang who pushed her down the rockery?

Realizing that there is such a possibility, it is like pouring a basin of ice water on the head, pouring out the joy that rose from the heart of the ancestors in an instant.

At the same time, the scene in the hall fell into deathly silence again because of Lianqiao's testimony.

If what Lianqiao said is true, then the fact is——
Su Xian seeks money first, and Lian Qiao is second.

He also threatened Xie's mother with Lianqiao's innocence, and asked her to engrave a private seal in the name of her ancestors, so that she could go to the bank to pick up the silver and put it in tiger skin money.

The Zhao family fell, the owner of Wanjulou was beheaded, the tiger skin money released could not be recovered, and Su Xian still owed a huge amount of foreign debt.

He was worried about the incident and wanted to share the money, so he murdered his ancestor.

The logic is clear and the evidence is sufficient - the accounts of the mansion, the bank and Wanjulou are all Su Xian's seal, as well as Lian Qiao's testimony.

Now, there is only one step away, the witness at the time of the murder.

Shen Lingxi, as the embroiderer who interrogated the emperor's grandson, even though she didn't want to, she had no choice but to speak at the right time, "Then, as you said earlier, when the case happened, you didn't see Second Mistress go to the rockery..."

"The slave girl lied." Lian Qiao said with a sob, "The slave girl lied in order to exonerate the Ninth Master, in order to defeat the Second Grandma's testimony."

"Well, you cheap maid." Xie Wanyan scolded with feigned anger, "If I were soft-tempered today, I would fall into your trap, and people would misunderstand that I am the murderer. You really deserve to die!"

As she said, she raised her hand, and she was going to repeat the same trick, to slap Lian Qiao across the face——
However, Su Chengming grabbed her, patted her on the back, and comforted her in a low voice, "Shhhhhh... my little ancestor, His Highness is in trial, so it's not good for you to beat her right now and disturb His Highness's trial. What's more, she is pregnant with the Su family's seed. The old ancestor hoped that Uncle Jiu would have an offspring. If it is broken, the old ancestor will be angry if it is broken. She is a stubborn slave with a thick skin. If you hit her on the face, your hands will hurt too... Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Shen Lingxi.

The two of them were tacit, and there was a hint of understanding in their eyes.

Xie Wanyan gave Lianqiao a hard look, and snorted coldly, "I'll deal with you later."

Perhaps it was because of Su Chengming's words that Lian Qiao raised her spirits a little, and even her choked voice became much quieter.

She continued: "The servant girl went to Gongfang that day, passed behind the rockery, and saw Xiao An cutting flower branches. In fact, what Xiao An told the servant girl was, 'The second grandma heard that the old ancestor was in a bad mood, so she was on the mountain, and the second grandma cut them off. Flower branch, take it to the mountain to show the ancestors, wanting to make the ancestors happy'."

"So at that time, the second mistress was indeed on the rockery. If the second mistress really saw the murderer, her testimony would naturally be true."

As her voice fell, the last link missing in this trial was also perfectly buckled.

From the very beginning, Xie Wanyan said that she saw with her own eyes that Ninth Master Su Xian pushed her ancestor down the rockery.

But now, Lianqiao's betrayal has corroborated Xie Wanyan's testimony.

Then the Ninth Master Su Xian became a murderer with no dead ends in all directions.

"So..." Su Xian, who had been silent for a long time, finally recovered his voice after being extremely shocked: "So I am indeed the murderer of this case?"

He also pointed to Lianqiao, and asked in a deep voice, "I have a child?"

All eyes were on him in unison.

Although no one spoke at the moment, their eyes seemed to be saying: Don't you know what you did yourself?
Shen Lingxi almost wanted to applaud every Su family involved in this case.

Really, what a wonderful show!

If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, Mother Xie's defense was full of loopholes from beginning to end.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, there would still be an unmentioned soul of Yang Shuangwen standing at the door.

I'm afraid even she can't help but believe that Su Xian is the real murderer!
The emperor's grandson Chuyan, who had been watching silently, cast a cold gaze on Su Xian.

Finally he spoke for the first time, "Su Xian, what else do you have to say about this case?"

On Su Xian's solemn face, his brows were tightly knit.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, instead of rushing to defend himself, he stretched out his hand and counted with his fingers.

Shen Lingxi: ...

Crowd: ? ? ?
After a long time, Su Xian finally finished his calculations, raised his eyelids, and said seriously: "I am destined to have this catastrophe, and there is no way to solve it. If this is the case, then it will be useless for me to make more excuses."

"The day after tomorrow will be my mother's first seven days. Please also ask your highness to ask the emperor for me to do a ritual ceremony for my mother to save her old soul. In this way, my fate in this world will be over, and I will be fine." Get on the road with peace of mind."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall looked different.

Lianqiao unconsciously stopped crying.

Mama Xie also breathed a sigh of relief.

The expressions of the Su family were obviously relaxed.

Safe on the road...

Does this mean pleading guilty?

This is what pleading guilty means!

Chu Yan took a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and said calmly: "In this case, Gu will truthfully present the case to the Holy Majesty, and temporarily take you into custody in this yard, and wait for the first seven to finish the ritual for the old ancestor, and then release you." Bring it back to Beiya..."

　The first seven nights, the night of resurrection.

　　Closing tomorrow.
