When Song Yao woke up, her first reaction was that her head was about to explode.
As expected, hangover wasn't an option.
In a panic, he got up from bed and got dressed. Just as he was about to fetch water to wash his face, the OP opened the door and entered.
Song Yao immediately asked: "Where's Chu Gongzi? Where is it? Is there anything abnormal going on? Have you been angered by me? "
The Tower Lord's expression wasn't quite right as he said: "How can I be mad at you? I'm afraid you won't even make it in time for the reward. How can I be angry at you?"
"Reward me?" Song Yao was confused, "I got drunk and messed up, and he still wants to reward me? Could he be crazy? Or could it be that OP is speaking the opposite of what you said? "
The tower lord sighed and said dejectedly: "Why are you playing dumb. Jiu Guniang went to the government early in the morning to confess to her crime. She said that without you, she would not have realized how wrong she was."
"Huh?" Song Yao's mind went blank, unable to react for a long time.
"Why are you acting so surprised? Don't you know everything? This kind of performance should be appropriate for me, I really never thought that Jiu Guniang would actually kill Jun Gongzi.
"Are you serious?" Song Yao regained her senses and confirmed once more, "Are you sure she went to confess? Did she really plead guilty? "
"Ha, why would I lie to you now? If you don't believe me, ask the person behind you and listen to what she has to say."
Song Yao turned around in surprise as Peony looked at her with an anxious and shocked expression. What was going on? Why did the Jiu Guniang say that she had killed the Jun Gongzi, and why did she say that the proof of her killing the Jun Gongzi was in your hands? Why is that? What the hell are you doing? "Why is it her?"
Song Yao's legs suddenly went soft. She staggered back a few steps, stood still, and muttered: "How could it be? Why would she plead guilty to it? Why? Why did you do that? I was clearly testing and deceiving her, but she actually turned herself in. Why? "Why do you have to believe my words so? Why can't you see that I'm lying at all? I'm testing you …"
Suddenly feeling guilty and sad, Song Yao suddenly picked up the box with the earrings from the table, turned around and ran out of the room.
Peony bowed to the OP and chased after him.
When the two of them reached the court, basically everyone who should be there was there, and they just happened to ask about Jiu Guniang's motive for killing them.
Jiu Guniang kneeled on the ground. It was unknown if it was on purpose or not, but she, who was usually dressed in plain clothes, had unexpectedly changed her clothes today. Her bright red eyes were like beautiful flowers blooming in the middle of the hall.
"Jun Gongzi and I were childhood sweethearts, and just like most lovers, we have been engaged ever since we were young. I am not an ignorant person, and my father is even a traditional Chinese doctor at home. My family is still well off, so I wholeheartedly helped him study. "
"I don't know if it's luck or not, but that year when he took the exam, the top three names on the Emperor Leaderboard spread all over the capital, and he only managed to become a Grand Scholar. When he sent me his letter, I advised him not to think too much about it.
She smiled a little, a gentle, comforting smile.
"He also agreed to me and said that he would return and marry me. He will continue his studies, and the next day, he will soar into the heavens. But... I waited a long time for him to come back, and I never heard from him again. "
"Don't worry, I'll pay my respects to my parents and come to the capital to look for him. Not long after I arrived in the capital, I accidentally saw him entering a brothel from the inn opposite of Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, and by his side were many of his so-called friends. "
Her tone was flat, but her eyes were red.
"I don't believe that he is a person like that. He accidentally found out that the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion was lacking a doctor, so he intentionally recommended himself to enter the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. I'm afraid that the Tower Lord wouldn't accept me, so he didn't even ask for money."
"Finally, we met. He was surprised, surprised, and even happy. At that time, I thought that there was something difficult about him. I had thought that we could go back in time."
"But not long after, he told me that he was going to marry the Minister's daughter, and that he couldn't stay with me any longer. I didn't believe it. I thought he was lying to me. I thought he was joking. "I am not willing to accept this. I have also cursed him before, saying that he is a heartless and ungrateful person, and that he is unworthy of being a human being."
"At that time, there was probably still love, and I couldn't bear to kill him. I just wanted to see what he could do if he climbed into wealth. "Later on, probably the heavens opened their eyes, but the young lady of the Shang Shu Clan actually fell ill and died, hahahaha."
There was no joy or pride in her smile, only misery and helplessness.
"I thought he could turn back now, but I didn't think he would actually be addicted to Drunken Fragrance Pavilion's Begonia. Only now did I understand, that at that time, my entire heart was ruthlessly stepped on under his feet, at that time, I was completely disappointed. I even cursed him, cursed a heartless person like him to death."
"At that time, I still hadn't thought of killing him. If he hadn't told me that he was going to marry the second lady of the Shang Family, I would never have killed him."
She was already in tears while she was narrating the story. She raised her eyes to look at the Minister who was sitting in front of her, and smiled: "You probably never thought that the so-called gentleman Jun Gongzi, who was praised by everyone, would actually turn out to be such a heartless scum, right?"
"You should thank me, otherwise your second daughter might end up like me, don't you think?"
Her words were filled with provocation and pride, but Lord Shang Shu's face was gloomy and his face was pale. She herself wasn't any better off. Her whole body was exuding a desolate feeling without any rain.
Song Yao was stopped four or five metres away from her. Originally, she would say these words out of boredom for the motive to kill, but now it sounded so uncomfortable.
Just as the hall was in silence, a man's voice suddenly came out from behind Song Yao.
Jun Gongzi has probably never intended to abandon you. He might have his reasons.
turned around and saw Xie Yang.
Xie Yang walked into the hall, and behind him was the coroner for the case that Song Yao had seen twice.
Xie Yang took out a box and opened it. Inside was a pearl, dark green in color and of good quality.
He passed the pearl to Jiu Guniang to see, and said indifferently: This should be your item right?
Jiu Guniang was stunned, then Xie Yang said: "This thing was found in Jun Gongzi's mouth, only …"
He raised his head to look at the Minister and said, "Some people just won't let him take it out."
