The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

"As for Lao Tan's room, we didn't find anything suspicious. Lao Tan's room was clean and tidy."

[Old Tan isn't the murderer, so how could he have discovered anything? The scarred man's dirty clothes were what he wore when he buried the body. It had rained that day, so of course they were covered in mud. He was lazy and just left them there without cleaning them. Under normal circumstances, no one would have noticed, but these were unusual circumstances.]

When Xie Qingzhi heard that these things were from corpses, he dodged to the side in fear and almost tumbled into Gu Jianchu.

Gu Jianchu waved his hand and asked Yunhe to pass the things to Bai Wei. "Take a look at these things. Do you recognize them?"

When Bai Wei saw the jade bracelet on the tray, tears instantly filled her eyes, and she cried bitterly. "Please, Queen, help my sister. This jade bracelet belongs to me. It's a relic left to us by our mother. She gave one to me and one to my sister."

Bai Wei took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and handed it to Gu Jianchu. "It's all my fault. I killed my sister. If she hadn't wanted to earn money to treat my illness, she wouldn't have threatened Li Shicheng, and she wouldn't have been sent to the stables. She wouldn't have met those evil people, and she wouldn't have died."

[This matter was a matter of fate from the beginning to the end. Everyone is at fault, and no one is at fault.]

Although Gu Jianchu felt distressed, he quickly calmed down, slammed the table, and said angrily, "Xiao Du, do you have anything to explain? Did you kill Bai Qiang?"

"No, I didn't kill anyone." Xiao Du kept shaking his head stubbornly.

"If you weren't the one who killed Bai Qiang, how could the heirloom bracelet be in your room? If you weren't the one who killed Bai Qiang, why did you try to pin the blame on her? Wasn't your goal to divert Bai Wei's attention?"

"I see that you are really stubborn. It seems that you really need to stay in the Imperial City for a few days." Gu Jianchu was about to give an order.

Zhongfeng strode into the hall with great speed. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, while inspecting the stables, I discovered that the soil in another area had been disturbed. I ordered someone to dig, and sure enough, a body was unearthed. After identification by those in the palace, it was confirmed to be the missing Bai Qiang."

The scarred man fell to the ground in fear, his eyes filled with terror.

"Xiao Du, do you have anything else to say? Do you want to confess yourself or go to the Imperial City Bureau to confess?" Gu Jianchu asked lazily, but the coldness in his tone was extremely threatening.

"Empress, why are you being so polite to her? He must have killed someone and hidden the body. Otherwise, how could the body appear in the stable and why would there be mud on his clothes? And Bai Qiang's jewelry was found in his room. He was directly thrown into the Imperial City Bureau. What else can't he confess?" Xie Qingzhi thought about the fact that he had been to the stable to see the horses and that he might have stepped on a human body. His scalp tingled at the thought.

Gu Jianchu used his eyes to signal Wen Zhu. Just as Wen Zhu was about to step forward, the scarred man was instantly frightened and pissed himself, "I confess, I confess everything."

"If you had confessed earlier, there wouldn't be so many problems. Tell me, why did you want to kill Bai Qiang?" Gu Jianchu tapped the table with his fingers and snuggled in Xie Ci'an's arms.

Xie Ci'an helped Gu Jianchu to massage his waist from time to time, and had no intention of interfering in this matter.

Scarface glanced at the Emperor and Empress, then at the Empress, and resigned himself to his fate, saying, "I didn't kill Bai Qiang."

"You still haven't admitted that you killed Bai Qiang. If it wasn't you, then it was me who killed her." Xie Qingzhi grabbed the leftover bowls on the table and smashed them in anger.

"My celadon bowl is a gift from the former Governor-General of Zhejiang. Xie Qingzhi and Xie Ci'an are both fond of throwing things at people when they get angry."

Xie Qingzhi: ...

Xie Ci’an:…

Is it the same? Not at all.

"I really didn't want to kill Bai Qiang. I was attracted by her beauty. At that time, Bai Qiang was banished to the stable by the princess. Bai Qiang was kind to everyone and was beautiful, so I became interested in her. I originally wanted to be with her, but when I told her about it, she refused to agree, so I started to have evil thoughts."

"It was raining heavily that night. I tried to do something bad to Bai Qiang under the pretext of reminding her that her room was leaking. Bai Qiang wasn't on guard at all. After I knocked on the door, she opened it and invited me in. While she was talking, I tackled her and raped her, thinking that I could just make it a done deal. I didn't expect Bai Qiang to be so stubborn."

"After I took her, she got up and hit her head against the wall to commit suicide. I was really scared at the time, afraid that the matter would be exposed and I would be implicated. That night, I took the opportunity to clean up the bloodstains on the wall. Taking advantage of the rain and no one coming out, I wanted to take Bai Qiang out and bury her. Who knew that night the emperor ordered the Princess's Mansion to be sealed off to search for the thief. I had no choice but to bring Bai Qiang back to the stable and bury her body below the stable so that no one would find her."

"I thought the matter was over, but Bai Qiang's sister Bai Wei came looking for me. I was afraid that Bai Wei would find out something, so I lied to her and said that Bai Qiang's disappearance was related to ***. I didn't want her to find any suspicious clues."

"You didn't kill Bo Zhong, but Bo Zhong died because of you. What's the matter with the bracelet?" Gu Jianchu shook his head helplessly.

The scarred man told the truth like pouring beans, "When I was burying the body, I saw that Bai Qiang's bracelet and hairpin were worth some money, so I took them off. I thought I would sell them in a couple of days to get some money for gambling."

After hearing this, Bai Wei got up from the ground and rushed forward, starting to fight with the scarred man. Her fine fists landed on the scarred man's body. No one stepped forward to stop him, they just watched quietly.

Until Bai Wei was tired of fighting and sat down weakly on the ground, as if she had collapsed.

"Please, Her Majesty, punish the evildoers." Bai Wei kowtowed heavily with red eyes. One could even hear the loud noise. When Bai Wei raised her head again, her forehead was already red and swollen.

Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an, "Your Majesty, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"If you hadn't had evil intentions, Bai Qiang wouldn't have died. Just drag her out and behead her to serve as a warning to others. If anyone commits crimes again in the future, they will be dealt with according to this criminal law. Also, post a notice to alert some lawless elements in advance and not to commit crimes." Xie Ci'an held Gu Jianchu's hand. There was a smile on his lips, but his words were cold.

The scarred man was dragged out before he could react.
