I became the villain's deceased wife

"Your Excellency, when I was tracking down Qiu Shuang, I found a small courtyard.

According to the owner of the courtyard, Xie Bocheng had just rented this courtyard recently.

I led people into the courtyard to check and found Qiu Shuang's body and... Xie Bocheng!"

Zhang Yougui had an incredulous expression on his face. He glanced at Xie Bocheng who had a dazed look on his face, then raised the rope in his hand again.

"This is the weapon used to strangle Qiu Shuang. There are blood stains on it."

As he spoke, he raised Xie Bocheng's hand again, on which there was a bloodstain.

“And there were strangulation marks on Xie Bocheng’s hands, which matched the weapon used in the crime.

The initial judgment is that Xie Bocheng deliberately killed someone!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was surprised.

Even Yun Haichao, who had been sitting quietly, raised his eyebrows curiously.

Huang Jiadong, who was sitting in the carriage, even stuck his head out and forgot to chew the watermelon he had just taken a bite of!

Lord Guo was very puzzled.

Did Xie Bocheng buy Qiu Shuang back to silence her?

But such a long time has passed, why choose to do it at this time!

"Xie Bocheng, what's your explanation?"

He banged the gavel and asked majestically.

Xie Bocheng shuddered with fear and glanced awkwardly at Xie Boyong who was kneeling in front of him.

Xie Boyong stood still and didn't even look back at him.

With a depressed look on his face, he sighed deeply and admitted lifelessly:

"Qiu Shuang, I killed her."

He still remembered what happened last night.

Because he was in a bad mood, he drank a lot of wine before going to bed and fell asleep on the table.

Someone pushed him in the middle of the night. It turned out to be Xie Yao, Qian San's daughter who was seriously injured.

He was startled, thinking she was unwell.

This courtyard is remote and quiet, and in order to keep it secret, they don't even have a servant.

If his daughter felt uncomfortable in the middle of the night, he, as a grown man, would not know what to do.

Just when he was thinking about whether to go see a doctor, Xie Yao told him something that made him break out in a cold sweat:

"Song Tian...Song Tian just came.

Entered Qiu Shuang's room!"

In that instant, it was like a bolt from the blue.

But my fifth brother has repeatedly told me that Qiu Shuang's whereabouts must not be revealed before the court session, especially not to be found by Song Tian or the government.

This this……

He quickly got up and ran to Qiu Shuang's room.

It was discovered that Qiu Shuang had covered her head with a quilt and had fainted from fright.

This is a big deal. Song Tian is such a good troublemaker, she might have already gotten the truth out.

We must notify our fifth brother immediately!

But just as he had settled Xie Yao down and was about to go out, Xie Boyong showed up at his door.

He told the story in a panic, but fortunately Xie Boyong seemed relatively calm.

Does this mean that the trouble he caused was not that serious?

"Third brother!

I’m afraid I can’t avoid this matter!”

Xie Boyong looked at him, his eyes full of sighs.

Zhu Kang had already looked for him just now.

It is said that this matter not only alarmed the imperial envoy, but even the prefect knew about it.

The boss sent someone to scold him and asked him to quickly settle the matter and return to Beijing to be punished.

The boss's initial intention was just to teach Xie Yunzhe a lesson and make it impossible for him to take the imperial examination.

It doesn't matter if you get injured or disabled, or if your reputation is damaged and you have a criminal record.

But now that the commotion has become so big, if it continues the boss will be affected.

Tell him to stop immediately and wait for another chance to find someone capable to deal with it.

These small fry are incompetent and there's no point in keeping them. If they can pick it out themselves, they're considered capable. If they can't, they'll just fill the hole and be done with it.

Just don't affect him!

Xie Boyong suddenly felt something was wrong.

The boss is going to destroy the bridge after crossing it, so just ignore him.

We have to find a scapegoat.

I had this idea in mind when I asked Xie Bocheng to buy Qiu Shuang, so I came out to mobilize him.

"Song Tian is not a simple person. He actually invited the imperial envoy and even alarmed the prefect!

If the situation continues, I'm afraid it will be hard for everyone to deal with it."

He patted Xie Bocheng on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"Brother, I have no choice but to push you out first."

Xie Bocheng had a grudge with Xie Yunzhe's family before, so it was perfect for him to be the scapegoat.

"But Boyong!"

Xie Bocheng naturally didn't want to do that and stared with his eyes wide open in horror.

"Don't worry, that nobleman in the capital has great connections. He just wants you to deal with the imperial envoy and the prefect. Once the storm is over, he will definitely rescue you!"

Xie Boyong patted him on the shoulder and drew a pie with a smile on his face.

"When the time comes and you block the problem for the noble, the noble will definitely look at you with new eyes.

Haven’t you always wanted to become an imperial merchant?

The boss has already agreed. As long as you can help him through this difficult time, he will definitely recommend our Xie family to the palace and recommend you to be the imperial merchant!"

Xie Bocheng's eyes lit up:

"real!"

He was a man who had seen the world, and he also opened the Xie family shop in the capital.

Of course, Xie Bolan also helped a little and introduced several merchants in Beijing.

But those few were just small and insignificant families in the capital, and there was a huge difference between them and the imperial merchants who exclusively supplied the royal aristocracy.

Although he was not good at studying, he failed to pass the imperial examination.

But if he becomes an imperial merchant, he will be able to leave his name in the history of the Xie family.

But when he thought about his daughter being bullied by Qian San and Song Jiao, he became a little worried:

"But fifth brother, Yao'er was just taken back by me, and I haven't gotten the divorce certificate yet. That damn housekeeper of the Niu family hasn't received retribution yet!"

It's just a matter of going to jail for a few days, which is not a bad idea.

But I don’t know when he will be back, and Yao’er is still injured.

“Don’t worry, my brother is asking you for help and will take good care of your family.

Don’t worry, Third Brother. I have done many things for you, so he will definitely help you with this.

Tomorrow I will make Qian San suffer a fate worse than death."

Xie Bocheng then felt relieved and agreed to his conditions.

But I didn't expect that Xie Boyong's request also included killing Qiu Shuang.

Xie Bocheng had always been timid and had never killed anyone, so he was hesitant to take action.

Xie Boyong found a rope, put it around Qiu Shuang's neck, put it into Xie Boyong's hand, and pulled his arm down with all his strength!

"It's such a simple thing, isn't it?"

Watching Qiu Shuang breathe her last, Xie Boyong clapped his hands in relief.

Xie Bocheng was so frightened that he was shaking all over.

Seeing the marks on my hands, I was horrified!

This way, he has no way out...

"Oh?

Why did you kill him? "

In the court, Lord Guo asked curiously.

It's rare to see someone plead guilty so readily.

"Reply...Reply, my Lord!"

Xie Bocheng was still trapped in the fear of having killed someone with his own hands, and his speech was stuttering.

"He...he wanted to expose me in court. I was afraid of being caught, so I...I took ruthless action."

The words had been spoken, and Xie Bocheng had nothing to worry about. He repeated what Xie Boyong had told him.

He said that he had a conflict with Xie Yunzhe and was blackmailed for a lot of money.

I can't swallow this bitter pill.

So he bribed his clerk Qiu Shuang and promised to set him free after the task was accomplished.

They worked together to design this frame-up.

Mr. Guo frowned:

It's that simple?

However, Xie Bocheng did not change his words when he was questioned again, so he had no choice but to slam the case and convict him:

"Xie Yunzhe was innocently murdered and released on the spot.

Xie Bocheng has killed two people in a row, he will be thrown into prison and executed in the autumn!"

Song Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Yunzhe, everything is finally okay!
