The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

According to one of the maids and servants among those people, Mr. Liu was physically weak and prone to illness, and he rarely went out on weekdays.

Yesterday Mr. Liu's friend Zhong Jiu, the man in blue, invited him to a party at Sifanglou.

At that time, there were several other young masters from aristocratic families with him, but when Ning Ziqing arrived, those young masters had already left early.

Mr. Liu originally did not want to go out because of the hot weather and was worried about feeling unwell.

However, the waiter kept persuading him to go out to relax, and mentioned that Sifanglou brought seafood from Cangzhou and made new dishes. Zhong Jiu specially invited him to taste it.

Mr. Liu remembered that Zhong Jiu was one of the few friends he still wanted to make friends with, and did not want to dampen his interest, so he finally agreed.

After interrogating the two men, Ning Ziqing ordered Yuan Li to bring in the tea cup that Mr. Liu drank from yesterday, together with the doctor he invited earlier.

At Ning Ziqing's signal, the doctor revealed that the real cause of Liu Gongzi's diarrhea was eating croton by mistake.

Everyone was surprised by this, but Mr. Liu refused to believe it.

The doctor picked up the tea cup and explained: "Yesterday after Mr. Liu and the others left, the third lady asked me to carefully examine the food on the table, and finally found the remaining croton powder in the tea cup used by Mr. Liu."

After he finished speaking, the officer stepped forward and took the evidence from his hand for inspection.

Soon, the yamen servant reported back: There was indeed croton in the tea cup.

Mr. Liu's expression froze, and then he questioned it, thinking that Sifanglou, Ning Ziqing and others might have put the croton in the tea cup themselves after they left, in order to shirk the blame.

Jing Zhaoyin also had doubts about this and asked Ning Ziqing why he did not choose to report to the official to find out the matter, but waited until Mr. Liu died to reveal the truth.

Ning Ziqing replied coldly: "Sir, I did this on purpose!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Even Huo Yunjue and Gu Liaohe looked at her with doubts on their faces.

Ning Ziqing raised an eyebrow at the two of them and continued: "Yesterday Zhong Jiu stopped the doctor from seeing Mr. Liu, and after I led everyone to check the kitchen of Sifanglou and there was nothing unusual, he refused my request to report it to the official. The suggestion made me suspicious.”

"In the end, Zhong Jiu proposed to pay for the problem, which made people mistakenly think that they just wanted to eat Bawang's meal to extort some money. But I am always cautious, and I always felt that this matter would not be so simple, so I came up with this strategy. I thought Let’s see what they do next.”

Hearing this, Gu Liaohe quietly gave Ning Ziqing a thumbs up to praise her for her wit, and Ning Ziqing responded with a wink.

Huo Yunjue's expression relaxed, and he couldn't help but feel relieved that Ning Ziqing was so alert.

If she hadn't noticed all this in advance and been prepared.

Once Mr. Liu dies, she and Sifanglou will be unable to argue with each other.

After all, Mr. Liu did get sick yesterday after eating in front of everyone in the Sifang Building. Zhong Jiu deliberately refused to let the official report and only asked for compensation.

He probably wanted to wait until Mr. Liu's condition worsened after he returned home, and then Mr. Liu would die.

They put the responsibility on Sifanglou, and Ning Ziqing will definitely be involved.

What a good strategy to "kill someone with a borrowed knife".

Thinking of this, Huo Yunjue's eyes became even colder. He glanced at the people kneeling in the hall with cold eyes, filled with murderous aura, which frightened Master Liu and others.

Jing Zhaoyin felt the sharp pressure of Huo Yunjue and swallowed nervously. He softened his tone and asked Ning Ziqing: "I dare to ask the third lady, how can you prove that Croton was not planted by yourselves?"

Ning Zi pointed his green finger at a young boy in gray clothes in the hall and replied calmly: "The people I sent yesterday found out that it was his master who put it there and that he got the croton."

Jing Zhaoyin stared at the boy with sharp eyes and slammed the table: "Why don't you call me as expected!" The boy was so frightened that he trembled all over and stammered: "Sir, it's... .My young master... asked me to go to the drug store to buy it. However, I really don’t know what the young master is doing with it. Sir, please be aware of it!"

The boy kept kowtowing as he spoke.

"Who is your young master?" Jing Zhaoyin asked.

"Zhongjiu!"

"Come on, hurry up and arrest Zhong Jiu!"

Jing Zhaoyin gave an order, and several government officials quickly dispatched.

When he walked to the door, he saw two men in black tying up Zhong Jiu and pushing him into the courtroom.

Everyone saw that Zhong Jiu's clothes were wrinkled and in a miserable state, and his face was bruised and swollen.

"Miss, when this bastard was escaping, my subordinate couldn't hold back when he caught him, so he hit him too hard. I'm going to receive my punishment now."

One of the men at the door, a slender man with a gloomy face named Hao Ran, apologized to Ning Ziqing.

Ning Ziqing saw the miserable appearance of Zhong Jiu, who was domineering yesterday, and couldn't help laughing: "He deserves to be spared from punishment. It's okay if he is not beaten to death. You can go down first!" Ning Ziqing waved, Haoran clasped his fists and stepped back.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh.

Silently sighing, this third lady is really cruel and ruthless.

Yuan Li grabbed Zhong Jiu and kicked him until he was kneeling on the ground.

Jing Zhaoyin in the hall immediately interrogated him:

"Zhong Jiu, just now the servant in your house has confessed that you were the one who put croton in Mr. Liu's tea yesterday and deliberately framed Sifanglou and the third lady. You can plead guilty!"

Zhong Jiu raised his eyes and looked at the boy, who avoided his sight in panic.

Zhong Jiu looked away, sneered, and decisively admitted: "I made the chin beans, I just wanted to make a joke with Mr. Liu!" He knelt straight, and then quibbled: "But Mr. Liu's death is with me. What does it matter? He himself is not in good health and he died of diarrhea. You can’t rely on me!"

After saying that, he showed an expression that said there was nothing you could do to me.

Huo Yunchue's face darkened, annoyed by Zhong Jiu's contemptuous attitude.

He stared at him with sinister eyes, snorted coldly, and quietly gestured to Jing Zhaoyin.

Jing Zhaoyin was slightly startled and understood.

He slapped the table hard and scolded sternly: "Presumptuous!"

"You deliberately framed Mr. Liu, causing him to suddenly die of a serious illness. Putting the blame on Sifanglou and having the guts to speak arrogant words in front of me is simply lawless."

After sorting out the results of the entire case, Jing Zhaoyin immediately pronounced the verdict.

"Zhong Jiu, you framed others, ignored human life, and caused their death. Your crime is serious. Now that all the witnesses and material evidence are available, according to our criminal law: you should be sentenced to death for committing this crime. Someone, please take Zhong Jiu down to sign and sign. , waiting for disposal."

Zhong Jiuyi's expression suddenly changed when he heard this: "Sir, I have been wronged. Mr. Liu's death has nothing to do with me. You can't just give in and I won't accept it!"

Jing Zhaoyin was unmoved by Zhong Jiu's excuse and waved his hand indifferently to urge the government officials to drag him down.

Just when everyone thought the case was over, Jing Zhaoyin felt relieved, and Ning Ziqing suddenly said: "Sir, Zhong Jiu is not the only one who killed Mr. Liu!"

Jing Zhaoyin was stunned and opened his mouth in shock.

Huo Yunjue frowned and asked, "What does Miss Third mean? Are there other murderers in this case?"

Ning Ziqing nodded: "Indeed."

Everyone was stunned.

Ning Ziqing walked around to the shivering Master Liu, curled her lips and said with a smile: "Master Liu, are you going to say it yourself, or should I let your Liu Mansion's housekeeper do it?"

Mr. Liu's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he did not dare to look at her.

At this time, Mrs. Liu, who was lying on the ground, woke up. When she heard Ning Ziqing's words, she hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked, "What do you mean? Who killed my son?"
