I became the villain's deceased wife

The next morning, Song Tian prepared to find Zhang Yougui to explain the situation.

But who would have thought that they received news that Captain Zhang was sent to bring the witness Qiu Shuang to court!

"Wasn't the trial scheduled to begin tomorrow?"

Song Tian asked the young constable who received her.

I wonder how Qiu Shuang is doing after they left last night. Was she bullied by Xie Bocheng?

In such a short time, will those people have enough time to make arrangements?

"The prefect has brought a group of officials from the prefectural government to our Fenglin County to take the imperial envoy back.

Lord Yun said that there was still an unresolved injustice here, and asked the prefect to resolve it as soon as possible before leaving.

Therefore, the decision to go to court this morning was a temporary one.

After the prefect learned about the case, he asked Captain Zhang to summon all the relevant persons to the scene.

Everyone else came, except Qiu Shuang, who has disappeared without a trace.

Captain Zhang has taken people to look for him."

Song Tian didn't have time to think about it and went straight to the lobby of the county government!

The trial was suddenly opened, and the prefect was present in person.

I don’t know what the outcome will be?

When they arrived at the lobby, they saw that Huang Jiadong had already arrived. He was sitting in his luxurious carriage, looking into the courtroom.

Seeing Song Tian coming late, he snorted with disdain.

Song Tian didn't say anything and found a place to look inside the hall.

Xie Yunzhe, who was kneeling in the hall, turned around as if he had sensed something and met Song Tian's anxious eyes.

He raised the corners of his mouth and gave her a comforting smile, telling her not to worry too much.

Song Tian also smiled back.

Although I am not sure what the outcome will be, I cannot give up easily until the end.

"Oh, ugly people are often mischievous!"

Huang Jiadong saw the two of them flirting with each other and cursed them in a sarcastic tone.

Song Tian turned around and glared at him.

She thought that this powerful man really had many spies. As a relative of the prisoner, she would not have known about this if she had not gone to see Zhang Yougui early in the morning.

Huang Jiadong had arrived a long time ago.

"Zhu Kang, you said you were out that day and were not in the store.

Where did you go? Is there any witness to prove it?"

The prefect, Lord Guo, sat at the head of the hall with a dignified look on his face.

Yun Haichao sat behind him, wearing an official uniform, and pulled his collar up to cover the red handprint on his neck that had not yet faded.

County magistrate Xu Changshou sat next to him, looking cautious and frightened.

When Zhu Kang was questioned by the prefect, he stood up respectfully and bowed.

Compared to the arrogance he showed during the last court appearance, he looked listless today, with an unnaturally pale face.

"My Lord, I...

That day I met a friend to have tea and reminisce about the past.

My friend is Xie Boyong, the teacher of Qingshan Academy.

He can testify for the common people!"

Song Tian's eyes darkened:

Xie Boyong?!

Is it such a coincidence?

A few days ago, that person said that he was just an acquaintance of Zhu Kang and was not very familiar with him, and he was unwilling to plead for Zhu Kang to show leniency on her behalf.

Why are you now agreeing to meet up for tea and reminisce about the past?

Xie Yunzhe, who was kneeling in the hall, also looked up.

I feel that this matter is a bit strange.

Lord Guo winked at the yamen runner next to him and asked him to go and find Xie Boyong.

"Besides Xie Boyong, is there anyone else who can testify?"

he asked Zhu Kang.

Zhu Kang shook his head:

"We are old friends. We just had tea and talked about the past. We didn't invite anyone else."

Lord Guo nodded and was about to ask something else.

Xie Boyong has been brought to the court.

"I am Xie Boyong, a humble servant, and I am here to see you, Your Excellency!"

Mr. Guo raised his eyebrows:

"Are you Xie Boyong? How come you came so quickly!"

Xie Boyong bowed his head and saluted:

"I heard that Brother Zhu was going to court today, so I wanted to see what the result was. I just happened to run into the constable who was there to summon me to court!"

Lord Guo looked down at the file.

"It says here that you are the great-uncle of the suspect Xie Yunzhe, but why are you only concerned about the outcome of Zhu Kang's trial, and not worried about your nephew who will be sentenced to death?"

Song Tian's opinion of Mr. Guo changed.

Besides being good at flattery, he is also quite sensitive when it comes to solving cases!

I have some confidence that Xie Yunzhe will win the case today.

Xie Boyong's forehead was sweating, and he quickly explained:

“Fuck… I am of course concerned, but Yunzhe’s motives are clear and the evidence is irrefutable. Even if I am concerned…”

“Who said he had a clear motive?

Why do I feel that this matter is more likely to be a frame-up?

He was working well in his wife's small shop, but you insisted on recommending him to Qiuchan Bookstore as an accountant.

This happened not long after.

Did you plan to target him like this when you recommended him? "

Lord Guo looked at Xie Boyong with sharp words and a sharp gaze!

Xie Boyong panicked instantly.

Does he know all about it?

But that's not right.

Even if he was right, his words alone would not convict him.

He should just be using his power to blackmail him.

As long as he insists that it has nothing to do with him, even the prefect cannot sentence him at will.

“The common people are wronged!

I am kind-hearted. When I heard Yunzhe say that he wanted to find an easy job to make a living, I recommended him to Brother Zhu's Qiuchan Bookstore.

But...but I don’t have any other ideas.

Your Excellency is very careful! "

As he spoke, he was thinking to himself: Why is there no movement from Xie Bocheng?

If this continued, he was afraid that he would be exposed!

Lord Guo was really just trying to trick him.

Looking at his current reaction, although he is a little panicked, anyone who is pointed at and wrongly accused will also be panicked for a while.

"Where's that guy named Qiu Shuang?

Why haven’t you brought it yet? "

Currently, this is the only participant missing from the whole thing.

"Your Excellency, Captain Zhang has personally led people to look for him, but he has not been found yet."

The bailiff answered.

Lord Guo looked at the file again.

To Zhu Kang:

"Why did you sell Qiu Shuang to someone else? Were you afraid that he would tell the truth, so you sent him away?"

Zhu Kang seemed relatively calm:

"Your Excellency, because of the disturbance caused by the wife of the criminal Xie Yunzhe, I can no longer run my bookstore.

There was no point in keeping him, so I sold him off."

Lord Guo nodded.

This explanation is reasonable.

"The man who bought Qiu Shuang is called Xie Bocheng, and he is Xie Boyong's cousin!"

He looked at Zhu Kang inquiringly.

"How could it be such a coincidence?

Could it be that your good friend is the one who is pulling the strings for you again?"

The relationships between the characters here are so coincidental that he doesn't believe there is no trick involved.

Zhu Kang shook his head firmly:

"no.

I know that Xie Bocheng is the brother of Brother Boyong. He is a businessman and has had dealings with Qiuchan Bookstore.

When the bookstore had trouble this time, I put up a notice saying I wanted to sell a clerk, and he took the initiative to come to inquire, and offered a very high price.

I thought that he also ran a shop, and might feel that Qiu Shuang had experience and didn't need to spend time training her.

So I sold it to him.”

Lord Guo took a breath and stroked his beard:

"That's right!"

The two people's statements are reasonable.

The breakthrough can only be Qiu Shuang.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Captain Zhang and two constables escorting a man up.

There was someone carrying a dead body behind him.

He was a young boy with a ferocious and terrified face and obvious marks of strangulation on his neck.

"Qiu Shuang!"

Song Tian looked at the small body on the wooden board in surprise.

A chill rose from the soles of my feet.

Look at Xie Bocheng who is being held in front.

What is he going to do?

Are they going to frame her and Kong Que for murdering Qiu Shuang again?

But what was her motive?
