Chapter 1080

"I just stole clothes and didn't kill people."

The man trembled as he shouted.

The whole man knelt on the ground, his body pressed low, and his head dared not lift half an inch.

I can see how scared I am.

Jing Rong's sharp eyes looked at the man and looked at the pile of clothes again. It seemed that he had understood something in his heart.

He asked, "did you steal the clothes Song Zhi brought back to Wang Jun?"

Uh?

The man's hand on the ground tightened, panicked and frightened, and quickly said, "yes, I stole the clothes, but I just stole the clothes and didn't do anything else. I didn't kill Wang Jun."

Shake your head desperately.

Just a few words back and forth.

And this movement soon attracted the people in the troupe.

They were slightly shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.

One standing!

One on his knees!

There is also a pile of very messy clothes next to it.

"This... What's going on?"

At the same time, someone recognized the man kneeling on the ground and pointed to him, "old Joe? Why are you here? Why are you still kneeling?"

Old Joe buried his head deeper!

It seems that I feel very ashamed to be recognized.

Yes? Is this a member of the troupe?

Jing Rong asked a man in the troupe, "is this man from your troupe?"

The man in the troupe said, "no, he comes to give us sweet wine and soup every day."

"Sweet wine soup?"

"Childe, I don't know. The actors of our Troupe will drink a bowl of sweet wine soup before they go on stage. Because sweet wine can moisten their voice, old Joe is in the sweet wine business and lives next door, so he will come and deliver sweet wine every day."

i see.

Then the man asked, "it's just a childe. What's going on?"

"It's not a big deal, but someone stole something."

"Steal?" The man immediately looked at Old Joe on the ground. "Old Joe, you stole something? What's the matter? You're an honest man!"

Old Joe swallowed his saliva, twisted his body, and hesitated, "I... I didn't steal anything valuable, just the clothes Song Zhi gave back to Wang Jun."

"Did you steal that dress?"

"I stole it, but I didn't kill anyone!"

From beginning to end, no one said he killed someone!

Jingrong found out the identity of the man and asked him, "then why don't you steal other valuable things and steal those clothes made of coarse cloth?"

"Because other valuable and small ones don't dare to steal, and... Can't hold them."

"Make it clear." Jing Rong's tone was slightly heavy. Old Joe explained in detail, "The little one was obsessed for a moment, and his mind was on fire, so I did that stupid thing! That day, I was going to send a bowl of sweet wine and soup to Wang Jun, but when I saw that he was not there, I was going to go, but I saw a burden on the table. As soon as I was curious, I opened it and looked. There were only a few clothes, and they were not good clothes. I thought it should not be Wang Jun's, because he was flat I was so greedy that I hid the burden in my sweet wine basket and slipped away through the back door. As for the expensive ones

, how dare I steal it! These clothes alone have haunted me with nightmares these days. I won't do such things in my life. "

"Then what are you doing here quietly with these clothes?" "Because I didn't expect that Song Zhi would go to prison because of this. Maybe... He would kill himself. He's only greedy for money, but he doesn't want to kill others! I've been having nightmares these days. I think if Song Zhi dies, I'll be to blame. I'm also worried about my conscience all my life, so... I want to take advantage of the time when the people in the troupe go to the Yamen to quietly kill him Quietly returns his clothes, hoping to help song get rid of his crime, but I don't know. They came back before they put down the clothes. I'm going to come back in the evening, but you caught me. Everything I said

It's true. The little one didn't kill anyone! Really just stole clothes. "

Old Joe's voice choked.

For fear of being arrested, he went to the Yamen for questioning.

Jingrong's sharp eyes were still puzzled and half sharp. He said sternly, "is this dress really stolen from Wang Jun?"

"Seriously, if there is half a lie, it will break the sky."

So it's true that Song Zhi said that he went to pay back the gift to Wang Jun that morning.

Then he can get rid of his guilt!

The people in the theatre looked at each other.

"Old Joe! You are usually an honest man. How can you do such a person? Do you know that if the county yamen concludes that Mr. Song is lying, he may be beheaded."

"I know, so I'm here to return my clothes?"

"Why didn't you say it?"

"I... I'm afraid!"

He didn't come to return his clothes until he realized the seriousness of the situation.

A "I'm afraid", everyone doesn't know what to say.

Indeed, everyone would be afraid of such a matter of human life. Fortunately, old Joe's conscience found out.

But then——

Li Cheng, who came from the inn, had listened to all their conversations.

As soon as you come in——

"So you are the culprit." Li Cheng's tall voice is very recognizable.

Everyone looked at him.

He came over with a purple folding fan in his hand.

That posture, at first glance, is a rich man. He went straight to Jingrong's side, patted him, and complained, "you're not interesting enough. You don't tell me when you find the murderer. You don't tell me when you go to the Yamen this morning. If brother Bai hadn't reminded me that you're here, I'd have to run to the Yamen. Really, would you take me as your brother

Brother? "

I'm not familiar with you, thank you!

Jingrong doesn't like this brown sugar very much.

But it's not disgusting.

Just scolded Baiyin in my heart. Why are you so talkative!

He looked at Li Cheng and didn't want to say anything.

Immediately, Li Cheng bumped into him, "why? Feel guilty for me? Remember next time, but don't leave me. I can't help catching the murderer."

Make it clear, he's just for fun!

Jing Rong has a black line on his forehead.

Regardless, Li Cheng immediately pointed to the old Joe kneeling on the ground, "you, hurry to tell the truth. How did you kill Wang Jun?"

At this hearing, old Joe was frightened and kowtowed, "I didn't kill anyone, I just stole clothes."

"Nonsense, the murderer must be you!"

"No, no......"

"It's you!"

Jingrong couldn't see it anymore. He said to old Qiao, "you'd better go to the Yamen and make it clear to Lord Zhuo. You can't hide anything."

Old Joe was worried, "then... Will your excellency convict me?"

Jing Rong Leng said, "the charges of theft and concealment are inevitable."

Just stealing and hiding?

Old Joe breathed a sigh of relief. It's not murder.
