As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Qiao drew out his dagger and pointed it at Di Xue!
Di Xue drew his sword to block it, and then struck his Xinshu point with a palm.
The poison spread in the body faster, and Jin Qiao could no longer support it. Di Xue caught him with his backhand. After confirming that he could not take the poison, he tied his hands.
At this time, the backstage was already in chaos. Leader Zhao rushed over when he saw Di Xue and asked with a trembling voice:
"Master Di, Jin Qiao has offended you, and I apologize to you on her behalf!"
After speaking, he was about to kneel down. Di Xue quickly helped him up with one hand:
"Leader Zhao, this matter involves many things. I'm afraid the entire theater troupe will have to follow me back to Dali Temple for investigation."
As soon as Di Xue finished speaking, Chu Ran and Han Shu had already arrived with people and took control of Jinyuan Restaurant.
"Bring everyone in the troupe back to Dali Temple, and seal all Jin Qiao's belongings separately."
After Di Xue finished speaking, Han Shu and others immediately took action. The policemen followed Di Xue to solve the case, and gradually began to trust and respect Di Xue.
"How are you? Are you injured?" Chu Ran rushed to Di Xue and asked.
"Don't worry, most people can't do anything to me! Pick up that dagger, it's direct evidence of guilt." Di Xue motioned to Chu Ran.
Chu Ran picked it up and looked at the dagger. He saw that the blade was thicker and the sides were jagged, which was consistent with Di Xue's judgment.
"Miss Jin, I remember when we first met you said you were from Shu, so you must be from Jing'an Village!" Di Xue asked.
Jin Qiao turned her head and sweat broke out on her forehead. The paint was already worn out, and she looked particularly embarrassed at the moment:
"I want to know how you ended up being mine!"
Di Xue picked up the box of special pearl powder on the dressing table and smelled it:
"This thing is unique to Yuanjing and has a special aroma, but I smelled this aroma in the secret passage in the small courtyard where the Wang family died tragically!"
Jin Qiao looked gloomy and lowered his head.
Di Xue then asked: "Miss Jin, you killed Zhang Huaizhi, right?"
"You mean she was the one who ordered Zhang Huaizhi to kill Xu Yiyan?"
As soon as Di Xue's words came out, Chu Ran immediately reacted and asked in surprise.
"Zhang Huaizhi and you grew up together in the theater troupe, but I never thought that at some point, perhaps from the beginning, you might not just be an apprentice of the theater troupe, but a killer trained by a high official in the court."
Di Xue paused and then said:
"And you took advantage of Zhang Huaizhi's admiration for you, pretended to be ill, promoted Xu Yiyan, and then persuaded Zhang Huaizhi to kill Xu Yiyan, who had no competition with you, and also made preparations after the crime. You should know Zhang Huaizhi had a plan to eat candy when he was nervous, so he personally gave him candy stained with blood."
Looking at Jin Qiao's increasingly pale face, Di Xue still told the story of that day:
"But Zhang Huaizhi loves you more than you think. Even though he found out in the end that he had been poisoned by you, he still insisted that he killed Xu Yiyan out of hatred!"
"I don't! Why don't I love him, but we shouldn't have met? Someone like me is not worthy of her!"
After finishing speaking, Jin Qiao seemed to have lost all his strength, and looked at the troupe in front of him with empty eyes, as if he was staring at something, as if he was not looking at anything at all.
After Jin Qiao was escorted to Dali Temple, Dali Temple Qing Zhu Mao came over and said that Yue Si Cheng had explained everything.
It turned out that Du Wei, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, wanted to take charge of the patrolling army in Yuanjing City, but was opposed by Zhou Zheng. So Du Shangshu held a grudge and used the Zhou family's newly allocated land to plot revenge.
The newly allocated land of the Zhou family included the land of the murdered Wang family. The land of the Wang family was wasteland that was mined with hard work. Naturally, they were unwilling to have more owners for a while. Zhou Huai did not know this. When he went to collect the land, The trouble with the Wang family was not pleasant.
So the Minister of Punishment sent people to cut the wheat of Wang family's geography, which led to Zhou Huai being accused for the first time.
Later, the wheat of other farmers was also cut by people sent by the Minister of Punishment, resulting in Zhou Huai being accused for the second time.
But this was just the beginning, Zhou Huai's reputation began to deteriorate.
The Minister of Punishment used his first card, borrowing a knife to kill, and chose Xu Lai. Jin Qiao led people to threaten Xu Lai and pretended to be the housekeeper of the Zhou family.
Then he was killed in the suburbs of Beijing. Things began to ferment, and rumors emerged that Zhou Huai had killed and silenced him.
Then came Xu Yiyan's incident, which made the people of Yuanjing City believe that Zhou Huai was an out-and-out bully!
In the end, he staged a scene of Zhou Huai killing people and made Zhou Huai a prisoner!
Yuesicheng helped Du Shangshu because he wanted to be promoted, and Du Shangshu's meeting gift was to marry Yuesicheng's daughter to the eldest son of the prince, the Minister of Punishment.
The Minister of Justice also used this marriage to find the embroiderer and the shoemaker.
After listening to Zhu Mao's story, Di Xue vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong!
However, there is a lot of movement tonight, and now we can only sort out the paperwork. The night is like a palace.
Di Xue and Chu Ran quickly rushed to the palace in a carriage.
When did the Minister of Punishment train Jin Qiao? What is his purpose in training killers? Didn't Du Rutao know that moving Zhou Huai at this time would definitely cause turmoil in Soochow if he succeeded?
A series of questions appeared in Di Xue's mind, but all of them were like dewdrops, visible but melted away with a touch of hand!
Suddenly the sound of piercing the air came again. Di Xue grabbed Chu Ran's hand and pushed it into her arms, and then managed to avoid the crossbow arrow.
Tonight is destined to be an uneventful night.
Di Xue hugged Chu Ran's waist and kicked off, and the two of them flew out of the carriage.
Almost instantly, the carriage was hit by several crossbow arrows!
Di Xue took Chu Ran to hide in a dark alley and lit the fireworks at Dali Temple again.
This group of killers didn't retreat when they saw the fireworks, as if they must kill Di Xue and the other two.
Di Xue felt bad and pulled Chu Ran to avoid being chased in the streets.
Crossbow arrows passed by several times, and Di Xue struggled to stop them. Just when the two of them were about to run out of energy, the patrol and the Beijing army finally arrived and controlled the killer.
Di Xue and the two entered the palace under the escort of the Beijing army.
Qian Zhangyin was already waiting at the palace gate, leading the two of them towards Wuying Palace.
Under the hexagonal carved gold treasure cover stands a vertical plaque, with the three characters "Wuying Palace" written in gold ink on a dark blue background, showing its majesty.
Walking into the Wuying Hall, the beams and columns are intricately carved, and the black-red floor with tung oil finish has been wiped until it shines brightly.
Emperor Chu Yun was also neatly dressed at this time, sitting on a throne with a golden carved dragon. When he saw Chu Ran and Di Xue finishing the ceremony, he ordered to give him a seat.
Di Xue handed over the document and then told the whole process of the Zhou Huai case.
Chu Yun nodded repeatedly and then said: "Di Aiqing has worked hard. This case can be understood. In my eyes, I will never tolerate people who bend the law for personal gain. Now that the Zuosi Cheng of Dali Temple is available, Di Aiqing Just make it up! I believe in your ability!"
"I sincerely thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, it's getting late. You should step aside. Chu Ran, you performed well this time. It's time to consider joining the court!"
After Chu Yun finished speaking, he looked like he would no longer entertain guests.
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
After Di Xue and Chu Ran finished talking, they were about to walk out, but then they heard Chu Yun's voice:
"I heard that Di Aiqing is going to Dingbei. Why not go to Yan's Mansion on the outskirts of Dingbei City."
