The officer at Neishi Mansion was surprised. In the past, every time he delivered food to Xiao Lezi in the cell, he would always say that he had been wronged and how could he be released.
The officers' ears were almost calloused.
The officers also knew that Xiao Lezi was taken to Shangjun Courtyard by Mr. Zhao for interrogation, and he was able to come out safely, which meant that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Lezi.
So it was only a matter of time before they were released.
But today, after being visited by the wife of Qi Mansion, her tone changed.
He even said that he was the murderer. Didn't Xiao Lezi know that this was a dead end? The laws of the Great Qin Dynasty were so strict that not only was it a dead end, but it was even possible to sit down.
Now this matter could no longer be concealed. If Xiao Lezi had no reaction, Wu could have concealed it when he came to the Neishi Mansion.
I don’t know what Wu told Xiao Lezi, but Xiao Lezi dared to take the initiative to confess.
The officer regretted it very much. He had known earlier that he should not have let Wu go in to visit Xiao Lezi, and he would not have been able to escape punishment.
Now that the matter has happened, rather than letting Mr. Zhao passively know about it, it is better to take the initiative to tell him, and perhaps intercede with Mr. Zhao to reduce the punishment.
After all, now that someone has confessed, the case can be considered settled, and Mr. Zhao can be able to deliver in front of His Majesty.
The officer called his apprentice over and said, "Hurry up to Mr. Zhao in Shangjun's courtyard and tell him that Xiao Lezi has confessed."
Knowing the importance of this case to Mr. Zhao, the young apprentice hurried out and rushed to Shangjun Courtyard.
The officer walked into the cell, and Xiao Lezi shouted to the officer like crazy: "I am the murderer of Butler Wang. Tell Mr. Zhao quickly that I plead guilty."
The guard asked in confusion: "Isn't that what you said before?"
Xiao Lezi was stunned and said: "I lied before. Please tell Mr. Zhao quickly. It will be too late if it is later."
Xiao Lezi looked very anxious, as if he was about to cry.
The guard was very puzzled. He had never seen anyone so eager to die.
What do you mean it's too late? Could it be that if it were later, he wouldn't be able to die? Daqin's laws are strict. If you are confirmed to be the murderer, can you be exempted from the death penalty?
Difeng now despises Xiao Lezi and wonders if this Xiao Lezi is crazy. Could it be that just by visiting Shang Jun's Courtyard, he could get a death-free medal?
The Banished Immortal has tried several times to avoid death, and he is very impressive. Could it be that after meeting the Banished Immortal, this little Lezi thought he was also infected with the immortal spirit and wanted to experience the heroic spirit? Bah, is it worthy?
The officer looked at Xiao Lezi coldly, said nothing, let Xiao Lezi plead, and turned around to leave.
Xiao Lezi collapsed on the ground, his shouts getting smaller and smaller. He knew very well that only by letting Mr. Zhao know that he was the murderer of Butler Wang as soon as possible could Xiao Cui be rescued.
No, it's not possible, it's certain. Xiaocui will be fine.
Xiao Lezi stood up again while holding on to the door of the cell, and started shouting hysterically again.
The other people in the cell were already cursing, and Xiao Lezi kept howling so hard that no one could sleep.
If Mr. Zhao hadn't repeatedly emphasized that private executions were not allowed, the guards guarding the cell would have wanted to go up and beat Xiao Lezi.
Soon the young apprentice came back from Shangjun Courtyard, and the officer asked: "How is it? Did Mr. Zhao say anything?"
The young apprentice said: "Not only Master Zhao, but also Master Banished Immortal and General Li are also here. They are all surprised."
"I want Xiao Lezi to come back and take Xiao Lezi to Shang Jun's courtyard."
The officer asked: "Did Mr. Zhao scold me?"
The young apprentice thought for a moment and said, "No."
The officer felt cold and thought: It's over. Mr. Zhao wants to settle the score with the future, and he can't run away this time.
If Mr. Zhao scolded me a few words, the matter would be over. He had no reaction to me. I'm afraid he hadn't thought of me yet. If he remembered me afterwards, it would be possible for him to go to the cell.
The officer calmed down and said, "I'll take Xiao Lezi over with you."
"Now that Xiao Lezi has taken the initiative to plead guilty, the case is of great importance. It is most important to ensure that Xiao Lezi can go to Shangjun Courtyard smoothly."
The servant actually had a lot on his mind. First, he took the initiative to appear in front of Mr. Zhao. If Mr. Zhao asked him about it, he could still handle it. It was very likely that he would be fine after just scolding himself.
Second, the murderer could not be found for a long time. When the Wu family came to visit, Xiao Lezi took the initiative to confess. There must be something fishy in it.
It seems that Wu Shi also has means, and it is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
If Wu had predicted that Xiao Lezi would go to Shangjun's Villa and arranged something on the way to Shangjun's Villa, Xiao Lezi's death would be without evidence. Xiao Lezi can only be the murderer, and it will no longer be easy to find out the real murderer.
In fact, the guards are very scared now. If Wu Shi puts some medicine in Xiao Lezi's food and dies before arriving at Shangjun's villa, it will be over.
The more the officer thought about it, the more frightened he became. He called to the young apprentice and quickly brought Xiao Lezi out.
The two of them took Xiao Lezi to the Shangjun Courtyard quickly.
Along the way, the guards looked nervous and frowned, glancing at Xiao Lezi from time to time to observe his condition.
Then Xiao Lezi not only didn't show any fear, but was actually a little happy.
Looking at the road leading to Shangjun Courtyard, Xiao Lezi was also very emotional. It hadn't been long since he went up here.
Everyone in Shangjun Courtyard performs their duties, and they are orderly and peaceful. Banxian is an amiable person, and he doesn't feel so nervous in front of Banxian.
Xiao Lezi knew in his heart that if he went this time, he would die, but Xiao Lezi was very calm. It didn't matter for the person he liked. Even if he went to die, he was still willing to do so.
Xiao Lezi smiled slightly as he thought of this.
Seeing this scene, the officer's brows furrowed even higher. What's going on? Is Xiaolezi completely abnormal?
The officer was getting more and more frightened, and he wished he could go to Shangjun's villa next moment.
Seeing Shangjun's courtyard gradually come into view, the officer slowly felt relieved.
The officer took Xiao Lezi to explain the situation to the craftsman in Shangjun Courtyard and hurried in.
As soon as he entered the room, the servant without saying a word immediately knelt down to Mr. Zhao and said, "You deserve to be punished by Mr. Zhao for letting Wu visit Xiao Lezi."
Mr. Zhao was not in the mood to deal with the differences now and said casually: "Stand aside."
The officer quickly got up and stepped aside.
Xiao Lezi stepped forward and knelt in front of the three adults.
Li Shui took a sip of tea and said, "Xiao Lezi, I heard that you confessed to being the murderer of Butler Wang?"
Xiao Lezi said: "Sir, Xiao Lezi is the murderer of Butler Wang. He concealed the truth during the last interrogation. Xiao Lezi bears all the blame."
Li Shui smiled and said, "I heard that before Wu Shi visited you, you often told others that you were not the murderer. You came back safely from the Shangjun Courtyard for interrogation. How could you be the murderer?"
Li Shui said coldly: "You have now taken the initiative to admit that you are. With these remarks, do you think that our Shangjun Courtyard is fatuous and incompetent?"
"Or do you think you are smart enough to tease me and Mr. Zhao?"
Some people died, but not completely...
