The princess is a flirt, and the prince loves her dearly
Chapter 51: Regrettable
Zhang Hao took out two dark purses from his sleeves and handed them to the yamen runners. "Your Excellency, these two purses are evidence of Madam Xun's goodwill towards my master. My master doesn't want to accept them, but..."
When Nanny Xun saw Zhang Hao take out a familiar personal item, her pupils suddenly shrank, "Why is it here with you? Obviously..."
The gavel rang, interrupting Nanny Xun's words, "How dare you, Xun! Tell the truth now!"
"Your Excellency, I am innocent. Please investigate. I am old and would never dare to do such a heinous thing."
Zhang Hao looked at her sarcastically, "Don't you dare? What's with that purse? Isn't it yours? Isn't it something you gave to my master as a token of goodwill? Don't you have the intention to escape from slavery? To avoid being a slave in the future?"
Do you dare to swear to God that all this is not what you thought or did?"
"I, old slave, old slave..."
Before Nanny Xun could come up with an excuse, she saw Zhang Hao kneeling forward, crawling a few times and kowtow.
"Your Excellency, I did not want to upset my deceased master, but some people would not cry until they see the coffin. I really have no choice. I believe that my master's spirit in heaven will understand me.
Please bring my master's body here and have the coroner examine it in public!"
As the order fell to the ground, the word "approved" rang in everyone's ears.
At this moment, Madam Xun was very confused. She didn't know what was going on. How could her thoughts be known by others?
How come the purse she showed her kindness to was in someone else's hands?
It was clearly a mutual consent and we were on the same boat, so how come it became her fault alone?
How did Guo Qihe die? Was he murdered? She still couldn't figure it out after two days in jail.
A cool breeze blew from all directions, and Nanny Xun's eyes subconsciously showed fear, as if she remembered something, and she couldn't help but collapse to the ground in fear.
It didn't take long for the bailiffs to place the rotten Guo Qihe in the middle of the hall. It was more like placing him close to Nanny Xun than in the middle.
The onlookers subconsciously pulled up their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses. Zhang Hao threw himself on Guo Qihe's body without fear and burst into tears.
"Master, Master, you died tragically... It was your fault that I failed to bring the murderer who killed you to justice, and you cannot rest in peace even after death..."
Zhang Hao cried pitifully and sadly, and the people who were watching the excitement started crying too.
The deep affection between master and apprentice is a pity.
After Zhang Hao cried for a while, Zhou Tiemian threw out the token and ordered the coroner to come forward and check.
The moment the white cloth was lifted, Guo Qihe's rotten eyes and corpse appeared in Nanny Xun's eyes.
Just one glance and she screamed and shrank back in fear.
It was a hot summer day and the bodies buried in the ground were dug out. The stench of decay could not be covered up and flies had already appeared in some places.
As the coroner went through the process, Zhang Hao was pulled aside by the bailiffs to prevent him from falling on the corpse.
Madam Xun shrank down to the feet of the yamen runner, holding her head and trembling. She was so scared that she kept muttering to herself: "Don't come over, don't, don't..."
When the onlookers saw this shocking scene in the hall, they were immediately in an uproar and started whispering to each other.
It all goes to show that one cannot judge a person by his appearance. A seemingly harmless old lady could actually do such a heinous thing.
The world is really going downhill. If Zhang Hao hadn't filed the lawsuit, wouldn't this person... be suffering from the injustice he had suffered?
Many people were filled with righteous indignation and were emotional. "This cruel and vicious slave must be severely punished!"
"To achieve one's goal by any means necessary, killing others should be punished by death!"
"That's right! She must pay the price. Death penalty! Death penalty!"
The people outside the hall were shouting, the coroner inside was examining carefully, and Jiang Wan in the crowd looked at Zhou Tiemian who was sitting high up, and thought to himself: This man is definitely not like the cold-faced judge that the people rumored.
On the contrary...
Thinking of something, the corners of her mouth beneath the veil unconsciously curled up.
After a while, the coroner reported to Zhou Tiemian the cause and time of Guo Qihe's death, whether he struggled before his death, etc.
The most important thing was that the coroner found silk threads tangled in Guo Qihe's nails.
Picking up the silk threads, the coroner said with certainty: "Your Excellency! These threads must have been grabbed by the victim during the struggle with the murderer. As long as we find the torn clothes, we can find the murderer."
Zhang Hao shouted and asked Zhou Tie to go to Nanny Xun's residence to search.
Nanny Xun, who was in a trance, seemed to see the light of her innocence when she heard this.
I couldn't help but feel relieved.
Nothing will be found out about what she didn't do.
What's more, there is nothing wrong with the clothes I wear every day.
Zhou Tiemian agreed with Zhang Hao's words and ordered people to search Nanny Xun's room.
The Yamen servant took the order and left.
While waiting, Zhang Hao wanted to pounce on Guo Qihe's body from time to time, loudly denounced how vicious Nanny Xun was, talked about how difficult Guo Qihe's life was, and shouted for Nanny Xun to pay with his life.
Nanny Xun curled up with her head down, as if she was stupid, not saying a word.
It didn't take long for the search officers to bring back a piece of clothing.
When the clothes were unfolded, the sleeves on the upper arms were wrinkled and torn.
The bailiffs reported the entire search process truthfully.
