Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

 Brother Jiang?

Mo Lingwei frowned slightly for the first time.

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

 Such a gesture, 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, she pushed her shoulder, and the assassin was thrown to the ground, letting out a groan of pain.

Jing Zhaoyin was confused: "What is this?"

Shen Ningning said: "The night I stayed at 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 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: "There is also this."

 Unwrapped the package, it was filled with gold.

 This is also obtained from the Wu family.

Shen Ningning said: "Uncle Wu said that this gold was given to his family by a nobleman named Mr. Wei, 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 him?"

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

 He pointed to a painting hanging next to Jing Zhaoyin.

 Everyone looked at it.

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

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

The assassin pointed at the painting and shouted loudly.

 Then immediately, he suddenly stopped moving.

Wang Capt. 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: "The cuckoo is weeping blood. It seems that it is Du Yuanwai."

at this time.

A government servant rushed to the door, panting: "Master Jing Zhaoyin, Du Yuanwai committed suicide and left a letter in blood!"

 “Present.”

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 responsibilities 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 the name of Mr. Wei Sanye when buying him with gold. He was also afraid that the other party would find out his true purpose.

The reason is far-fetched, but everything works 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 closed the case.

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, so as to comfort their spirits 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 of gold. He said it was from this prince.”

"yes."

 Things are 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 clearly seen that he is old and incompetent and has raised his son so badly."

"If I remember correctly, the law of this dynasty says that those who are unfilial to their parents will be punished by death if they commit serious crimes."

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

"I will report his evil deeds and hold him accountable. I want him to be put to death according to the law!"

 Grandma Qin said it eloquently.

 Qin Sheng was stunned on the spot, looking at his mother in disbelief.

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

"Seriously, I can't live with this bad debt." 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.

It’s just that at that time, she was not in good health so she didn’t pursue the matter.

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

 Such a beast deserves 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 a pen and ink, and write an edict.”

The criminal edict is the most serious crime in Cangyun Kingdom, and the end result is basically execution by Lingchi.

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

Grandma Qin didn't look at him, just walked towards Shen Ningning, holding the little guy's hand distressedly.

“Ning Ning, don’t be afraid in the future, we will be happy after all the hardships.”

 Qin Sheng was dragged away by the king's chief officer and the officials, and his sadness 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, Wang Baotou punched him so hard that Qin Sheng fainted.

Shen Ningning threw herself into Grandma Qin's arms. The grievances she had suffered over the past few years were finally completely washed away at this moment.

 She is someone who is loved and protected.

“Ning Ning, let’s go home.” Grandma led the little guy out.

Shen Ningning thought that Mo Lingwei had not followed, and when she looked back, she saw him staring at the picture of a cuckoo weeping blood.

His silent look and his handsome white jade face looked particularly gloomy and cold.

"elder brother?"

Shen Ningning's call gave Mo Lingwei's face a touch of humanity.

 He smiled faintly: "Here he is. Come on, I'll take you back."

 The group left the government office.

What he didn't tell Shen Ningning was that Mo Lingwei felt that although the assassin was referring to Du Juan crying blood before his death, he didn't seem to be talking about Du Yuanwai.

 If he remembered correctly, this painting had been collected by Wei Shangshu for a large sum of money.

Because of an accident, he presented it to the emperor, who then gave it to the capital government office. It has been hanging ever since as a painting to alert prisoners.

If this matter had nothing to do with the Wei family, Concubine Li would not be so panicked.

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes dark, like 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... Du Yuan is secretly a member of Wei Shangshu.
