In fact, Zhou Bing was not killed by Xu Qiaoer in the first place, so this case is not considered a miscarriage of justice.
The inappropriate doubts in Magistrate Zhu's mind were just that he felt that some explanations were a bit far-fetched.
For example, why did Yang Cong kill Zhou Bing?
Magistrate Zhu never imagined that Yang Cong's goal was never Zhou Bing, but Shen Qingyun.
In other words, he didn't want to think so deeply.
And Shen Qingyun was just following the trend.
Mei Ji was sent by Yang Cong, and the medicine was ordered by Yang Cong. Although the person who committed the murder was not Yang Cong himself, it was indeed two of Yang Cong's men. Zhou Bing did indeed arrest Qiaoer's father. These are all facts. .
What was false was Qiaoer's testimony.
Yang Cong did not bribe Qiaoer, but Qiaoer had Yang Cong's personal jade pendant in his hand, so this point cannot be refuted.
What was false was the testimony of two of Yang Cong's men.
They killed the person, but now in order to protect themselves, of course they have to blame Yang Cong. No one saw the two of them entering the Zhou Mansion, so Yang Cong killed the person himself.
True or false, if you want a person to believe a fact, then the fact must be true, at least most of it must be true.
"Girl, you have worked hard these days."
Qiao'er shook his head and smiled slightly: "The prince is busy planning for Qiao'er. It's because of the hard work of the prince."
Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "The girl didn't kill the person in the first place. It's not running around, let alone planning. I'm just going to reveal the truth."
"It's such a desperate situation, even if the truth is true, if I don't have the help of the prince, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape anyway."
"Magistrate Zhu is a shrewd man. He will never wrong the girl. As long as I give him a little help, he can naturally clarify the truth." Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "Although there are some twists and turns, he is still under control. , Although it is a pity that the girl did not kill Zhou Bing with her own hands, the revenge of the great revenge is enough to comfort the spirit of the girl’s younger brother in heaven.”
Qiaoer looked solemn, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not yet."
"Huh?" Shen Qingyun was confused when he heard this, "What does the girl mean by this?"
Qiaoer said: "Zhou Bing is not the only one who killed my little brother."
Shen Qingyun was stunned. That's right, Qiaoer's younger brother was just driven and beaten by Zhou Bing's evil slaves, so that he died of serious injuries. But before that, he had been injured. The medicine Qiaoer bought at the hospital was for his.
If Zhou Bing was responsible for the death of Brother Qiaoer, then of course the person who injured him before was also considered responsible.
"Girl, just tell me this person's name, I will immediately ask the girls from the Lao Qi Gang to arrest him and let him do whatever he wants."
Qiaoer shook his head expressionlessly and said, "No need to bother anymore."
"Um?"
Seeing the confusion on Shen Qingyun's face, Qiao'er asked: "The prince said last time that Qiao'er's father had been rescued by the prince. Where is he?"
"Stay in the village temporarily." Shen Qingyun said with a smile: "Girl, follow me back, and you and your daughter can be reunited."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qiaoer bowed slightly.
On the other side, two of Yang Cong's men returned to the uncle's house and told Song Ying everything that had happened.
After Song Ying listened, she asked with a cold face: "What you said is true. Was Zhou Bing really killed by his cousin?"
The two of them nodded of course, "Yes, it is indeed the young master who killed him. The villain deserves to die. I failed to defend the young master. Now that the young master has been convicted and taken into custody by the government, please ask my cousin to rescue him."
rescue?
Song Ying sneered in her heart.
Not only are the Song and Yang families out of reach, even Mrs. Sinan Bo's power may not be able to save Yang Cong.
Even if he could be saved, would Shen Qingyun be willing to let her save him?
At this point, she could only acquiesce to Shen Qingyun's actions.
Otherwise, it will only cause more trouble, and Shen Qingyun will not be the only one who will be uneasy.
"The matter has come to an end. You should quickly return to Xiping Mansion, report this matter, and ask the Yang family to come forward to rescue my cousin..."
The two looked at each other and said, "Yes."
Seeing the two people leaving quickly, Song Ying's eyes darkened, "Here comes someone."
"lady."
The two servants responded.
"Send these two letters to the Yang family and the Song family respectively."
"yes."
Song Ying naturally knew in her heart that her cousin's two men must have lied, because not only did she know about Yang Cong's plan from the beginning, but she was also warned by Shen Qingyun afterwards.
Yang Cong became like this but these two people were unscathed. They had probably been bribed by Shen Qingyun.
If Shen Qingyun was smart enough, he would not leave this hidden danger behind.
Thinking of this, Song Ying became more and more frightened.
Shen Qingyun has such means, she cannot compete with him. Even the Song and Yang families, whose basic power is not in Liangzhou City, may not be able to fight against Shen Qingyun.
Although Song Ying didn't believe Shen Qingyun's words, judging from Shen Qingyun's repeated forbearance and retreat, at least Shen Qingyun really didn't think about making things difficult for her.
"They are all the Shen family, and they want to plan for the Shen family. The Yang family and the Song family are all outsiders..."
Song Ying whispered to herself, only looking up.
The wind and snow are still there.
On the carriage back, Qiaoer kept playing with the sleeve arrows on his wrists. Seeing this, Shen Qingyun asked curiously: "Did Zhuge Yan also give this to you?"
"Zhuge Yan?" Qiaoer was stunned, "His name is Zhuge Yan?"
I still don’t know the name of the co-author Qiaoer.
Shen Qingyun said humbly: "He is also cultivating at Zhuangzi now. You will be able to see him later."
Qiao'er was not happy when he heard this, but frowned and said: "Brother Zhuge is being hunted, and the prince takes him in. I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
Shen Qingyun smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I have solved all his troubles, and no one will hunt him down in the future."
Qiaoer's brows relaxed, "I see, Brother Zhuge has really helped me a lot, thank you so much, Your Majesty."
"He helped me after all. I just tried my best to repay him. Fortunately, I still have some face..."
Speaking of this matter, Shen Qingyun looked embarrassed and sighed in his heart.
I owe Yue Lianshuang several favors. Do I really have to become a son-in-law myself to repay it?
In fact, the reason why Shen Qingyun refused was not because he was rejecting Yue Lianshuang, nor because he was concerned about his status as son-in-law.
Yue Lian Shuang is beautiful in the sky and has no regrets in getting it.
The British government favored him very much. Even if he was a son-in-law, it would be a great honor.
But precisely because of this, if Shen Qingyun really agreed to Yue Lianshuang, it would mean that Shen Qingyun would be hated by many people.
It may be a love rival who also admires Yue Lianshuang, but more importantly, a conspirator who covets British public power.
By then, whether Shen Qingyun wants it or not, whether he avoids it or not, he will become the target of public criticism and be involved in more incidents.
So for others, this may be an opportunity to soar into the sky, but for Shen Qingyun, such a price is far less than the joy and happiness of Liangzhou City.
Especially now that Yang Cong is gone and Song Ying is submissive, Shen Qingyun feels more at ease.
Returning to Zhuangzi, Qiaoer asked as soon as he got off the carriage, "Where is my father?"
Shen Qingyun just thought that Qiaoer missed his father very much, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, he is in the backyard."
Qiao'er heard the words and walked in quickly. Shen Qingyun just smiled when he saw this, but did not notice that Qiao'er's sleeve arrow was already on the string.
"Your Majesty."
Just as Shen Qingyun was about to enter, Zhong Qi called out. Shen Qingyun looked back and saw two of Yang Cong's men arriving.
"You two performed well today, I'm very satisfied." Shen Qingyun smiled slightly.
The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, rubbed their hands and said, "The prince promised us..."
Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, since I promised you, of course I will not break my promise. I am the most trustworthy person."
Shen Qingyun took out the banknote and handed it to the two of them. They were so happy that their eyes became the shape of ingots.
"By the way, have you two returned to the uncle's house? Does Madam know what happened today?"
The two of them nodded quickly and said, "I've already told my cousin that she told us to go back to the Yang family in Xiping for help so we can rescue the young master."
"But we can't really save anyone."
"Of course, Prince, don't worry, we know."
Shen Qingyun smiled and said, "In that case, you should get on your way quickly."
"Yes, I'll take my leave, villain."
The two got the money and left happily.
Shen Qingyun's smile did not change and he just called: "Lao Qi."
"Prince?"
"I've fulfilled my promise, why don't you go get the banknote back?"
Zhong Qi was stunned when he heard this, "Where is that person?"
"Of course they will be killed." Shen Qingyun said lightly: "The wind and snow are so heavy that the road is difficult to travel. In this case, why not bury them in the wind and snow... Oh, it is best to die without intact bodies and destroy the bodies. It’s always bad to destroy traces and leave some traces.”
Magistrate Zhu was already suspicious. If something happened to the witness immediately, it would definitely be counterproductive.
But since it was Song Ying who sent them back to Xiping to report the news, it could be regarded as giving Shen Qingyun a chance to take action. Even if someone wanted to investigate afterwards, it would make sense.
"yes."
Zhong Qi took the order and without any nonsense, jumped towards the two of them.
These two people are no match for Zhong Qi. They only took three or five moves before Zhong Qi grabbed one of them with one hand.
After yelling at Lao Zhangtou and others to come forward to help, a few old killers dragged the person down. They probably carried out Shen Qingyun's order to kill and dismember the body.
"Your Majesty."
Zhong Qi took back the banknote.
Shen Qingyun put it in his arms, looked up at the sky, and chuckled: "You can't say I broke my promise. I promised to give them money, and I gave it, but I didn't say I wouldn't kill them. "
As if in response to Shen Qingyun's shamelessness, a sudden gust of wind blew the already messy snowflakes even more violently.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Xiaohuan ran out crying and anxious.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qingyun saw this and asked in confusion: "Why are you so panicked?"
Xiaohuan looked panicked, with fear in his eyes. When he heard Shen Qingyun's question, he couldn't respond. He just pointed to the door with one finger and swallowed hard.
"Qiao...Miss Qiao'er..."
Shen Qingyun quickly asked: "What's wrong with Miss Qiao'er?"
Xiaohuan regained his composure with difficulty, "Miss Qiaoer killed Mr. Xu!"
"What?"
Shen Qingyun was shocked when he heard this.
