Chapter 96: Unveiling the Truth (Part 2)

Although Qiao Songyu knew that her brother would catch the murderer tonight, she didn't expect that the murderer was Fu Sheng, not to mention hearing Pei Rongbai come all the way, she was even more surprisedPei Rongbai thought of setting a trap for Qian ErComing to trap the murderer already made him admire, never thought that Pei Rongbai would have so many things hidden in his heart and never told him.

At this moment, like the surrounding crowd, he was all amazed to see Pei Rongbai talking.

I saw Pei Rongbai standing with his hands behind his back, his tone unhurried, and he said slowly: "There is another loophole - that time, you re-examined the murder scene of the old government servant Zheng Feng, and then brought back the murderer who is said to have stayed at the scene.The jade pendant—you know, it rained the night Zheng Feng died, so the footprints of the so-called "fox demon" were left behind, but Zheng Feng's yard was muddy, very muddy, and the jade pendant fell there.More or less there will be a little bit of mud left, but what about the jade pendant you showed us at that time? It is clean and moist, as if it has been stored in your purse for a long time!"

When Pei Rongbai said this, everyone suddenly realized.

"Yes." Qiao Zeyu excused, "So I asked Thirteen Lady Cheng in private and asked her to think about when she lost the jade pendant, whether it was when the prisoner was arrested in the county town, or after the prisoner was arrested.Can you find it after you come back? Do you know what she said?" Qiao Zeyu glanced at Fu Sheng and said with a mocking smile:

"She said that she actually remembered it wrong that day, and she didn't lose her jade pendant at all—before she went to the county town to catch the prisoner, she was afraid that it would be inconvenient to catch people with the ring pendant, so she didn't take it away at all before she left, but just put it whereI don’t remember, so I thought it was lost, and then I went to her room to look for it, and the jade pendant was indeed in the box where she put her clothes. That’s it.”

As Qiao Zeyu said, he showed the jade pendant to everyone. The jade pendant was exactly the same as the evidence, but there was a pouch and tassels attached to it, proving that it belonged to Thirteen Lady Cheng.

"If it was really me, why did I report this case to the imperial court and invite you here? Wouldn't this be shooting myself in the foot?" Fu Sheng's face was very calm, it didn't look like he was caught on the spotmurderer.

"Because you are confident." Qiao Zeyu said bluntly, "Such a big case should have been reported to the court. You are confident that you will never be arrested, and you never expected that the people who came were me and Pei.Phase, right?"

"Even if it's as you said, the concubine of Wenfu gave birth to a daughter and I'm a man, how can you explain it?" Fu Sheng asked, his face was neither happy nor angry, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"No, that concubine didn't give birth to a daughter!" Pei Rongbai suddenly denied it. He met everyone's surprised eyes and said firmly, "She gave birth to a son! As for the fact that she gave birth to a son, why did everyone think it was a daughter?What? Ming Kong and I have been to Wenfu, which is now in ruins. In addition to having a very clean room, I also found a tablet on the small wooden board on the wall of the room. The tablet saidIt's 'Mother Wen Zhou's position', and there is a scripture next to it, inscribed 'Zhou Cheng, a good man, pays homage', so I know that Zhou's birth is a son, as to why everyone thinks she gave birth to a daughter,I guess it's because Zhou is afraid that his son will be assassinated by the eldest lady after giving birth, so he deliberately said that he gave birth to a daughter?"

Hearing this, Fu Sheng burst out laughing suddenly, and everyone looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he was laughing at.

Qiao Zeyu also laughed and said: "Everyone doesn't know what you are laughing at, but I know: you want to say that you are from Weicheng, and the official department has your hometown file, which can prove that you grew up in Weicheng.You have never been to Yang City, let alone have any relationship with Wenfu, right?"

Fu Sheng couldn't laugh all of a sudden.

"Because the Zhou family's son is not you!" Qiao Zeyu's eyes were dim, and then he slowly turned his head to look at another corner, "He is the Zhou family's son, Zhou Cheng!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a crack on Li Cheng's usually expressionless face, and then he gave a very rare bitter smile.

When everyone saw this, they were beyond shocked!!

Pei Rongbai glanced at Qiao Songyu and said: "I heard Song'er say: 'Cheng Shisanniang seems to like Mrs. Fu.' I asked him where he knew it?"

Qiao Songyu also looked at him in surprise when he saw that he mentioned this for no reason.

"He told me that he saw Thirteen Lady Cheng secretly looking at Fu Sheng, and blushing... It's not true." Pei Rongbai said, with a little smile on his lips, "Actually, Thirteen Lady Cheng didn't see Fu Sheng, but alsoIt wasn’t Li Cheng, she was looking at the two of them—later the Thirteen Lady told me that she knew a little about the relationship between Fu Sheng and Li Cheng, and she liked to see the two of them talking together to solve the case... I guessed from this sentence,In fact, Fu Sheng, you like Li Cheng, right? You killed these people to avenge Li Cheng. In fact, Li Cheng also knew that it was you. In order to help you get rid of the suspicion, he even dressed up as a woman to buy a jade pendant for you.To frame Thirteen Lady Cheng——When you killed Liu Xianger, you killed the person, but the person who led Thirteen Lady Cheng was Li Cheng. The old man who guarded the warehouse said he did not see the saber that framed Thirteen Lady ChengSuspicious person, that's because he excluded you, you have the key, there is no need to sneak around..."

The more Qiao Songyu listened, the more stupefied she became, almost stunned—oh my god, the truth is actually like this???Pei Rongbai's brain is really good too!

After Pei Rongbai finished speaking, he said to Fu Sheng with a cold expression: "Fu Sheng, I have already sent someone to search your room. I believe that conclusive evidence that can prove that you are the murderer will be searched out—for example, your fox dressed as a demon foxMask...five lives, a serious crime of murder, don't hesitate to incur the truth!"

Speaking of this, Pei Rongbai's voice was stern, and his words were righteous.

Before Fu Sheng could speak, Li Cheng walked over slowly, his handsome face was stained with sadness and bitterness: "It's all my fault, Junci, I hurt you, if I don't tell you my life experienceIt's all right..." He walked up to Fu Sheng, knelt down after him, and begged Pei Rongbai and Qiao Zeyu sadly, "My lords, this happened because of me, and I am willing to take the blame for him. Please seeIn the name of his ability to manage Yangcheng City well and being loved by the people, I am willing to accompany him in prison for the rest of his life, even if he is exiled for three thousand miles, I am willing to accompany him..."

Hearing this, Fu Sheng shouted excitedly: "I killed these five people, and it has nothing to do with Ah Cheng. Whether I die or not, it has nothing to do with him! Ah Cheng, everything I didFor you, for your safety and joy, you have to live well, how can you accompany me to jail and exile!"

When Pei Rongbai heard the words, he sneered, and said in a serious manner: "For his safety and happiness, there is no need to do so much. Wouldn't it be good for the two of you to be together well? It has been so many years since the matter of the Wenfu,The Wen Mansion has decayed like that..."

Fu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, but then his eyes were wet, and he smiled wryly, "Really? But, it's too late..."
