The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Jiang Jingshi, with a pale face, was dragged into the study by two servants like a dead dog. His legs seemed to have no strength at all and he dragged on the ground.

When Liu Yuanfeng in the study saw his look, he knew something was wrong. He knew something was wrong when he saw him like this.

"master?"

The two servants were struggling to support Jiang Jingshi, not knowing whether to put him down or what.

"Put the man down, you go out first and guard outside for five meters. No one is allowed to come in and disturb." Liu Yuanfeng had a sullen face.

"Yes."

The two servants let go of Jiang Jingshi's hands. Jiang Jingshi was so scared that his legs became weak and he fell to the ground, looking up at Liu Yuanfeng anxiously.

After the servant left, Liu Yuanfeng stood up from his chair, walked to Jiang Jingshi's side, and looked down at him. "Tell me, what on earth did you do?"

Jiang Jingshi's eyes were erratic, and he didn't dare to look Liu Yuanfeng in the eye. "Uncle, I, I..."

He hesitated, but Liu Yuanfeng was in no mood or time to wait for him to dawdle. "Jiang Jingshi, the yamen runners who are waiting to arrest you are waiting for you in the front hall. Are you sure you want to delay here?"

Jiang Jingshi trembled, climbed up and crawled to Liu Yuanfeng on his knees, pulling the hem of his clothes, "Uncle, save me!"

Liu Yuanfeng looked at him coldly, "So what shameful thing did you do?"

Jiang Jingshi knew that his uncle was his last straw, and he had no choice but to give it a try, no matter whether he succeeded or not. So he did not hide it, "Uncle, Princess Leyang was killed by my cousin."

"What!" Liu Yuanfeng looked at Jiang Jingshi suddenly with an ugly expression. He thought that it was him, Jiang Jingshi, who was involved in the case. How could it be his daughter?

"It's true." Jiang Jingshi was afraid that Liu Yuanfeng would not believe him, so he hurriedly explained, "Princess Leyang was indeed killed by my cousin. I saw it with my own eyes. How dare I talk nonsense about such a big thing?"

Liu Yuanfeng lowered his eyes. Indeed, it was meaningless to lie about such things. "Who was it? Was it Yanran or Pingran? How did you know?"

Although he asked this, Liu Yuanfeng still found it hard to believe that the one who killed Princess Leyang was Yanran or Pingran. They were just weak girls in the boudoir, how could they possibly kill someone?

"It was cousin Yanran." Jiang Jingshi looked at the ground evasively. "That night, I saw with my own eyes that cousin Yanran invited Princess Leyang to the moat, then killed her and dumped her body into the moat."

"Uncle, everything I said is true. If I say even a single word is false, I will be struck by lightning and die miserably!"

Chiang Ching-shih raised his hand and swore.

"Why did Yanran want to kill Princess Leyang? And you, why were you outside in the middle of the night?"

Liu Yuanfeng had not served as the Minister of Revenue for so many years in vain. Although Jiang Jingshi's words sounded fine at first glance, they were full of loopholes upon closer inspection.

"Yanran and Princess Leyang never had any quarrels, and they have always been on good terms. Why did you kill her? You must have been hiding something. Now that things have come to this, why don't you tell us quickly?"

Although the yamen runners in the front yard were stopped by the housekeeper, who knew how long they could be stopped. He had to understand the whole story before they came to arrest people.

Jiang Jingshi's face turned pale, and he hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke, "My nephew and cousin Yanran were in love with each other, but unexpectedly they were discovered by Princess Leyang. She has been threatening cousin Yanran with this matter. Cousin Yanran didn't mean it, it was just that Princess Leyang was too aggressive and kept pressuring her, and cousin Yanran couldn't stand it anymore..."

He didn't say the rest, but Liu Yuanfeng could guess what he was saying. He looked at Jiang Jingshi who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.

Don't think that just because he has cleared himself of all charges, this matter has nothing to do with him. He is just a poor and downtrodden man living in their house, yet he has such wild ideas.

And Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu family, actually fell in love with such a man. When she was discovered having an affair with someone, she even dared to kill someone. I underestimated her.

Liu Yuanfeng kicked Jiang Jingshi hard on the shoulder, knocking him over.

"Ah!" Jiang Jingshi cried out in pain, and quickly stood up and knelt down again, "Uncle, please, save me, I know I did something wrong, but I and my cousin Yanran..."

Liu Yuanfeng kicked him again, and he fell over again. Liu Yuanfeng looked at him with a sneer, "Are you threatening me?"

Jiang Jingshi didn't know whether it was because of pain or fear, sweat broke out on his forehead, "My nephew dare not, my nephew dare not."

Liu Yuanfeng sat on a chair beside him and looked at him coldly, "Princess Leyang was the only child of Prince Kang's mansion. You killed her. Do you know what crime this is?"

"Uncle, uncle!" Jiang Jingshi looked up at him in disbelief. "Princess Leyang's death has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill her."

"You didn't kill her?" Liu Yuanfeng looked at him sharply, "Oh? Then tell me, who killed her?"

"Yes……"

"Is it Yanran?" Liu Yuanfeng stared at him without moving.

He didn't move, but he didn't dare to move. No matter how stupid Jiang Jingshi was, he knew that this was a rhetorical question. His shoulders shrank, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?"

"You also said that you only saw someone murdering Princess Leyang. You are just a witness. As for who the murderer is, it was a dark and windy night. Can you see clearly?"

"...No, that's right, no, it was too dark, I only saw someone killing the princess, but I didn't see what the thief looked like."

Jiang Jingshi knew that he had to do this. He could not involve the Liu family no matter what. Only if the Minister of Revenue was also his uncle would he have a chance to get out of the Jingzhao Yin prison.

Liu Yuanfeng smiled lightly, "My nephew is indeed smart."

"Uncle, you are too kind."

Next, Liu Yuanfeng and Jiang Jingshi reviewed their confessions again.

"Since Jingzhao Yin sent people to arrest you, he must have some evidence. They are still so polite now, obviously they don't have any substantial evidence.

I'm afraid you were followed when you left that day."

"What should I do?" Jiang Jingshi panicked and tried hard to recall what happened during their meeting that day, but no matter how hard he tried, his mind was blank.

"Don't worry, you are now the cousin of the Minister of Revenue, I will naturally not ignore you, but you don't have to worry too much, I just need to deal with it outside, and I will definitely not let you suffer in prison.

Do you remember what I just said?"

"My nephew understands that this matter will definitely not involve the eldest lady." Jiang Jingshi gritted his teeth secretly. He had played a good hand of cards badly. This person has a bad character and average ability.
