"Is that so?" Li Ruo smiled, she was not in a hurry to interrogate him, what he said was reasonable, seeing strangers barge in she would naturally run, but the panic in his eyes just now did not escape his eyes.

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but Xuanyuan Mo felt as if Liru had glanced at him.

What, does this weak-looking kid think that he's the one who talks about evil and evil?

He frowned in displeasure. He wanted to glare at Li Ruo, but Li Ruo had already turned her head away. As a result, no one could see his expression.

He suddenly felt like an idiot. Why was he fussing over such a child?

Ah!" The man on the ground shrieked like a pig being butchered, but because he flipped the man off the ground so quickly and randomly, he felt like he was about to bleed internally.

"You woman, how could you be so rude!" The butler and younger brother stopped in confusion, seeing stars in the sky, and could not help but curse.

"It's him, yes!" Li Ruo clapped her hands, not bothering to pay attention to the others as she came to a conclusion.

"Murderer? What murderer! " The butler and his younger brother were obviously astonished. The guard had just suppressed them.

General Li tossed him to the guard behind him, his eyes glowing. "Why are you so sure?"

"There are still very obvious marks on his hand. I tested his reaction just now. His left hand's reaction is obviously faster than his right hand. Also, look …" Li Ruo pointed at the marks on the ground. Other than the messy footprints, there was nothing else. General Li scratched his cheeks. What was he looking at?

"He was crippled and his footprints were shallow. From the look on his face just now, he had no intention of running away after killing someone. Perhaps she knew that others wouldn't be able to find him, or perhaps she knew that someone would help him settle the matter … I don't think I have lost my killing tools yet. Let's take a look at the house! " This was Xuanyuan Mo's reply. Just now, Li Ruo's actions seemed crude and without any pattern, but he understood what she meant.

Li Ruo raised her eyebrows. 'This guy isn't stupid …'

Furthermore, he was right. The crime scene tool was definitely still there.

Very soon, General Li walked out with the broadsword that was meant for guards. However, it was obvious that the person in front of him was a ruffian. Even if the evidence was conclusive, he still might not admit it.

"I really don't understand. For a person like you, why would the steward take the blame for you?" Li Ruo humphed coldly.

In her view, people could make mistakes. What was important was that after making a mistake, one had to know that one was a good person.

"I originally thought that you had something good to gain from seeing the butler desperately protecting you. I didn't think that you would waste his painstaking efforts in vain!"

"Brother, he wants to take the blame for me?" Hearing this, the man who had been acting shamelessly the entire time finally stopped, his eyes still filled with astonishment.

"You committed a capital offense, so if he doesn't take the blame, you will die. He clearly knows that you have nothing good to do, so he still wants to protect you. I think all these years, he has definitely protected you a lot!"

"A death sentence?" Men are very afraid, he has been very much in love with trouble since he was a child, big brother is always behind him to solve his problems.

He didn't expect that the thing he had inadvertently caused would be a capital offense.

He thought that he'd be able to deal with it as easily as before, but he didn't expect it to be this serious.

"No, I was the one who did all this. Please let my brother go!" Then, he raised his head and said something that was somewhat surprising.

Li Ruo subconsciously looked up at him.

"Why did you admit it again?" General Li was curious. He wouldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death just now. But now, the princess had only said a few words, and he had already admitted it. How could it be so magical?

"Brother is a good person. If one of us must die, that person can only be me!" He was originally a bit old, and now that he said such words, he seemed to have aged more than ten years.

"Okay, then please tell me, why did you kill Zhang Jun?"

"I was originally a street hoodlum, but never learned anything since I was young. After my parents died, I became even more depressed. In order for me to live a better life, he went to the General's Estate as a servant at such a young age. Now that dozens of years have passed, there is still no one who can take over his position. I relied on my elder brother's status as the steward of the General's Estate to swindle and swindle me. "Many people are afraid of the general's reputation and want to cooperate, but there are still some people who do not care about power. There was one time when they lost their footing, and one time when their right hand was broken, although it was already healed, but it is still not as strong as it was in the past. Thus, they trained their left hand …" He did not say directly why he had killed, but instead told her his past.

"One time, I stole a mother and son pair of money and was caught by Zhang Jun. He told me to return the money to the mother and son pair, saying that they were lonely and had no one to rely on and were chased out of the family. That was their only property …"

"Damn. You're not letting someone like him go. Are you even human?" General Li, who was full of justice, could not bear to see anyone bully the old and the weak. Now that he heard him say this, he started cursing in a low voice.

"..." "We had a grudge at that time!" He merely glanced at General Li and continued.

After that, it was as if he was deliberately targeting me, always monitoring my every move. Every time I start to move, he would suddenly appear and disrupt my plans! "
