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

"There is no shortage of stubborn prisoners in Jingzhao Prefecture's prison, but there are also no stubborn prisoners in Jingzhao Prefecture's prison."

Jingzhao Yin looked at Jiang Jingshi, who was not crying until he saw the coffin, and sneered with disdain. He had seen countless prisoners, had seen many people, and had experienced many things. Many times, he knew whether the prisoners were hiding something without them saying anything.

Just by looking at Jiang Jingshi's wandering eyes and guilty look, he knew without asking that this man was hiding something important.

After Zhang Hao brought his men back, he told him what happened in the Shangshu Mansion. It goes without saying that Liu Yuanfeng must have said something to him. Although he didn't know the specific content, he knew it was a combination of coercion and inducement.

In fact, Jiang Jingshi had been panicking since he entered the Jingzhao Prefecture Prison. Although his family had fallen on hard times, they were still considered wealthy. After he went to the Shangshu Mansion, Liu Yuanfeng had never treated him badly. His food, clothing and other expenses were all provided by the master of the mansion. He had never seen any darkness.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the prison of Jingzhao Prefecture, he was frightened by the prisoners inside. They all had disheveled hair, were dirty, and had scars from being whipped and tortured. When they looked at people, their eyes were dull and fierce, which was unacceptable for a young man like him.

In fact, what he didn't know was that this cell was specially selected for him by Jingzhao Yin to hold serious criminals. Every prisoner here was a vicious criminal, but they were sentenced to immediate execution, so their punishment would naturally be very severe.

Before Jiang Jingshi could react to the miserable condition of the prisoners, he was taken to the torture room. The walls and tables were full of torture instruments, many of which had dark red rust-like marks. He knew that those were the blood left by previous prisoners, so he became even more frightened.

He was able to hold on until now only because of the promise Liu Yuanfeng had made to him. He knew that if he told the truth he would surely die, and he could only survive by denying it.

"I really don't know what the adults are talking about. I am innocent!" Jiang Jingshi refused to admit it. Anyway, without evidence, he would never admit it.

Jingzhao Yin looked at his refusal to cooperate, sneered, and whipped him hard with a whip. The severe pain fell on his chest. Jiang Jingshi cried out in pain, but gritted his teeth to endure it.

"What does Jingzhao Yin mean by this? Are you trying to force a confession out of him? Although our Jiang family has fallen on hard times, don't forget that I am the cousin of the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of Revenue, Liu Yuanfeng, is my uncle!"

"Liu Yuanfeng doesn't care who he is, do you know where this place is?" Jingzhao Yin sneered. He was still making fuss when he was about to die. This Liu Yuanfeng had a nephew who was a traitor to his uncle, and I don't know if he knew it himself.

Perhaps it was because Jingzhao Yin’s expression was too gloomy, Jiang Jingshi’s eyes shrank, “This is Jingzhao Prefecture.”

"So you also know that this is Jingzhao Prefecture. I have the final say here. Even if Liu Yuanfeng is here, I will still say the same thing."

Maybe because the case was about to be solved, Jingzhao Yin was in a good mood and was happy to talk to him a little more. "Do you think Liu Yuanfeng can still sit in the position of Minister of Revenue when the case involving Princess Leyang is involved?"

It's just a daydream. Not to mention that Princess Leyang has a pair of protective grandparents, the only child in Prince Kang's mansion is dead, and naturally someone has to bear the anger. In order to show filial piety and benevolence, Your Majesty will not show mercy.

"I don't understand what you are saying, sir. Princess Leyang's case has been widely reported. Although I have heard others mention it, her death has nothing to do with me. You, the Jingzhao Yin, cannot slander someone with such open mouth."

Jiang Jingshi took Jingzhao Yin's words to heart and was naturally afraid, but he had no room for retreat now and could only go all the way.

“I don’t understand. I think you won’t cry until you see the coffin.

You didn't think that no one would notice you sneaking into the mansion at night, but unfortunately, on the day Princess Leyang was murdered, someone saw you disguise yourself and leave the Shangshu Mansion through the back door."

Jiang Jingshi's pupils trembled. He didn't expect that someone would see him leaving the Shangshu Mansion that day.

Jiang Jingshi said dejectedly, "Okay, I'll tell you everything, but I must state in advance that Princess Leyang's death really has nothing to do with me.

I am just a humble man now, how dare I offend the princess of Prince Kang's mansion."

There was indeed some sincerity in what he said, and Jingzhao Yin also heard some seriousness in his words, but he always attached more importance to evidence.

"In that case, then tell me first, what exactly did you intend to do by disguising yourself as leaving the house after dark?"

Leaving the house in the dead of night in disguise seemed problematic no matter how you looked at it.

"…The government is very strict. That day, my schoolmates from the academy invited me to go…"

"Why are you hemming and hawing? Why don't you just tell me where I want to take you?"

Jiang Jingshi avoided the gaze of Jingzhao Yin and lowered his eyes, "Go... go to the brothel."

Jiang Jingshi's voice was not loud, but in the empty torture room, even the sound of a pin drop could be heard, and his words were naturally heard clearly by those present.

"Brothel?" This answer was beyond Jingzhao Yin's expectations, but he didn't take it to heart. He didn't think he was telling the truth. Of course, everything required evidence, and he had to send someone to investigate before he could find out.

"Yes, that's right, it's a brothel."

"you go?"

"I didn't. I broke my promise."

Jing Zhao Yin was tired of going back and forth with him, "Then, where did you go?"

"I have never been to a brothel, and my classmates invited me to go there to broaden my horizons. I am of low status, so I naturally dare not go against them, so I agreed to go with them.

But I didn’t expect that I would break the appointment in the end.”

"What happened?" Jingzhao Yin asked, his intuition telling him that what happened next was the key.

On the way to Jingzhao Prefecture, Jiang Jingshi kept thinking about how to avoid being suspected, and after thinking about it, he made up this story.

“I didn’t expect that I would run into two sneaky people just after I came out of the back door, so I followed them curiously, and unexpectedly I followed them to the moat, and then I saw with my own eyes that the man in the cloak strangled the other man’s neck.

I was so terrified that I didn't dare to make a sound until the cloaked man threw the other man into the moat and left. Then I dared to breathe deeply.

It was already very late, so I decided to go back to sleep and deal with everything the next day.

Unexpectedly, I heard the news that Princess Leyang died in the moat the next day, so I guessed that the person thrown into the moat last night was most likely Princess Leyang. "

"Since you know the clue, why don't you report it?"
