Crazy criticizes the regent for reading my mind and his character collapses

Hanlian: "Next door."

Nan Xi went back to the next door, avoided the snake, and pinched a centipede out.

"Girl, be careful!" Shaoyao and Hanlian were so frightened that their hearts rose to their throats.

If the girl was injured under their noses, they would be too shameless to go back to see the master.

Nan Xi put the index finger of his free hand on his lips, "Shh!"

She pinched the centipede, looked at its legs carefully, and then placed it on the scar on Guan Wanqing's body. It unexpectedly overlapped.

Shaoyao exclaimed: "It turns out these injuries were caused by centipedes!"

Nan Xi frowned, "Hanlian, go tell Mr. Tang that this Jiang Zhicheng may be related to Guan Wanqing's case."

"Yes, girl."

Shaoyao looked at the obedient centipede in Nan Xi's hands and couldn't help but wonder: "Girl, why is it so obedient in your hands?"

Nan Xi put the centipede back into the bamboo basket, then put his hand in front of the peony, "Smell it."

Shaoyao twitched her nose, "It smells so strong."

She didn't understand this and couldn't tell what kind of medicine it was, but her mind was spinning quickly, "It's because you put this medicine on your hands, girl, so the centipede was so good just now and didn't bite you or crawl around, right?" "

Nan Xi nodded: "Smart."

Then he took out two porcelain bottles from his arms. They were pink, tender, small and delicate. "The medicines here can effectively repel snakes, insects, rats, and ants. You and Hanlian each have one bottle. You can apply it on your body and put it in your purse." It’s okay to stay here, be prepared for any trouble, and ask me for it if it’s gone.”

"Thank you girl."

Shaoyao couldn't let go of the porcelain vase. When Hanlian came back, she stuffed them all into her hands: "I'm not afraid of insects, you can keep these."

Han Pian has a weakness, she is very afraid of insects and the like. Ever since she saw the snake and centipede in Zhuangyuan Alley, her whole body has been in a tense state.

After cleaning up briefly, Nan Xi took Hanlian and Shaoyao to the front hall.

Tang Jingqing was still interrogating Jiang Zhicheng.

"Where did those centipedes and snakes come from? Jiang Zhicheng, don't think that you can avoid punishment by not saying anything. These things were found at your residence. Even without your confession, you can still be convicted. crime!"

Jiang Zhicheng knelt on the ground and remained silent, as if he hadn't heard anything and didn't react at all.

Helpless, Tang Qingkong tortured him.

But he didn't expect that after twenty spanks, Jiang Zhicheng's buttocks were covered with blood, but he still didn't say a word.

Tang respectfully said, "Haha", "You're quite tough, okay. I hope you can be so calm and calm under the knife when you get to the execution ground!"

Jiang Zhicheng suddenly raised his head: "I didn't kill the person, and those things don't belong to me. You can't convict me. This is torture to extract a confession. I want to appeal, I want to file a petition."

"Hey, you can't hold it in anymore?" Tang Jingkong said in a deep voice, "There is no need for you to file a complaint. This case was ordered by the Emperor and will be supervised by the Regent himself. Your every move, word and deed will be known to the Emperor. .”

Jiang Zhicheng's eyes flashed slightly and he became silent again.Nan Xi walked over and whispered a few words into Tang Qing's ear.

Tang Jingjing nodded and ordered the government servants to search Jiang Zhicheng and present all his personal belongings.

Nan Xi picked them up and smelled them one by one, then walked over with his wallet and opened it in front of Jiang Zhicheng.

"There are sulfur and mugwort in here, which are all used to prevent snakes, insects and plague from approaching. How dare you say that those centipedes and snakes have nothing to do with you?"

Faced with the evidence, Jiang Zhicheng could no longer deny it, "So what if it's mine? It's not illegal to raise these things. They crawl out and bite people on their own. What does it have to do with me? I can only blame Shen Wenjin for his bad luck."

Nan Xi somewhat admired Jiang Zhicheng's character, which was completely different from that of a seemingly cowardly scholar.

"What about Guan Wanqing?"

Nan Xi suddenly pulled Jiang Zhicheng up and went all the way to the room where Guan Wanqing's body was kept. He lifted the white cloth from Guan Wanqing's body and pressed Jiang Zhicheng's head so that he had to face Guan Wanqing's red, swollen and scarred face.

Jiang Zhicheng wanted to struggle, but Hanlian and Shaoyao stepped forward and held him down.

Nan Xi's voice was stern, "She was once your eldest sister-in-law. She suffered inhuman abuse before her death. In addition to some whip marks and cane beating marks on her body, there were also marks left by insects crawling over her body. These marks It matches your centipedes, what can you say?"

Jiang Zhicheng didn't expect to see Guan Wanqing again. There was a sense of revenge in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth even raised slightly subconsciously.

There was only a moment, but it was seen by both Nan Xi and Tang Qingxin.

Nan Xi asked again: "Your room seems to have been cleaned very carefully. Are you trying to cover up something?"

Jiang Zhicheng asked, "I love to be clean, can't I do that?"

"Of course you can, but you only focused on cleaning your own room and forgot about the two rooms next to it." Nan Xi said: "You probably didn't expect anyone to check the empty house where no one lives, so you can safely clean up the centipede." You live there with snakes, right?”

Nan Xi glanced at Hanlian, and Hanlian took out a brocade handkerchief with a small piece of jade wrapped inside.

Very small, only as big as a soybean.

The color and texture are the same as the hairpin on Guan Wanqing's head.

"As the eldest lady of the Guan family, it is impossible for Guan Wanqing to go out wearing a damaged hairpin, so why is a piece of the hairpin on her head missing? It must have been broken during an accident, and when you are raising centipedes and snakes That room, we found this.”

Tang Jingjing said sternly: "The regent has sent someone to investigate. On the day of Guan Wanqing's accident, someone saw you coming back from outside in the rain at night. But when I asked you before, you said you had been in the room and never went out. It rained." What did you do when you went out? Did you go to throw away Guan Wanqing's body? "

"It's a pity that Guan Wanqing was still breathing at that time. She crawled out desperately and wanted to ask for help, but she died in the end." Nan Xi looked at Jiang Zhicheng, "When you were in Qiongzhou, you tried to belittle Guan Wanqing. Things got serious and everywhere You were ostracized, and Guan Wanqing insulted you more than once. You held a grudge and took the opportunity to retaliate, right?"

"Hehehe..."

Jiang Zhicheng suddenly laughed.

He stopped struggling and looked at Guan Wanqing's face in front of him, his eyes full of hatred.

"Am I scornful of her? She deserves it! She is a slut and a slut. She even seduced my brother-in-law. If I didn't obey, she would slander me. None of those people believed me. They scolded me, beat me, and isolated me! But! What did I do wrong? It's obviously that bitch Guan Wanqing, she framed me!"

Jiang Zhicheng became more and more excited as he talked, "Outside the Gongyuan, when she learned that I missed the exam time, she started humiliating me, saying that even if someone like me got in, I wouldn't be able to pass the exam, so I don't need to waste my efforts, and I was destined to be Jiang Zelin's follower for the rest of my life. , Why? My surname is obviously Jiang! I also have a share in the Jiang family!"
