Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

What a twist!

Wu Bantou was very excited when he heard the report from his subordinates, and he immediately walked out. The servants of the Jin family were also smart, and they immediately went to the backyard to report to Jin Biao.

This time Jin Biao came very quickly. As soon as Wu Bantou reached the gate, Jin Biao arrived there.

As soon as he saw the man at the door, Jin Biao's face immediately became gloomy.

The man was explaining his origins to Wu Bantou: "Sir, I am Jin Cheng, the junior manager in charge of purchasing for the Jin family. I can prove that Jin Biao killed his third wife, Fang."

Jin Biao arrived just in time and immediately scolded him, "What nonsense! Jin Cheng, you embezzled money for purchasing and then ran away. I haven't even investigated you yet, but you are accusing me? The Jin family raised you for decades, and you are so cruel and heartless in return?"

"Who is talking nonsense? If I had embezzled the money of the Jin family, how could I end up doing hard labor? The government is the same as you. I didn't dare to stand up before, but now I am not afraid."

Jin Cheng looked at the servants and runners surrounding him and said, "It seems that the Jin family has also encountered a master who is difficult to deal with, right?"

Jin Biao's expression kept changing.

Wu Bantou glanced at Jin Biao and said, "Mr. Jin, someone has accused you of murder. We need a quiet place to interrogate you. Please cooperate with us."

Wu Bantou spoke politely, but his tone was indeed unquestionable.

Jin Biao gritted his teeth and said, "Then please ask Wu Bantou to go to the front hall to question him. I will ask the servants to leave."

Jin Biao could no longer maintain his composure, so he gave a casual order to a servant and went back to the inner house.

After instructing his men to guard all the exits of the Jin family, Wu Bantou led Jin Cheng to the front hall.

When they arrived at the front hall, Wu, the team leader, sat down first, then pointed to the seat next to him and motioned Jin Cheng to sit down.

"Tell me, how do you know that Jin Biao killed his wife Fang?"

Jin Cheng sat down without hesitation, organized his thoughts and began to talk.

“I saw with my own eyes Jin Biao had Fang Qin strangled to death.

I am a servant of the Jin family. I have been serving the family since I was young. As I grew up, I was promoted to be a small manager in charge of purchasing.

In the eyes of outsiders, Jin Biao is gentle and kind to others.

But to those of us who have been around him since childhood, Jin Biao seems to be a little moody. Sometimes he would lose his temper for no apparent reason and throw things, but most of the time he would quickly control himself.

After that, he was still as gentle as usual, and sometimes he would take the initiative to comfort us. So even if he lost control and hit us once or twice, we didn't take it too seriously.

After all, we are servants, so it is normal to get hit a few times.

About seven or eight years ago, Fang Qin was only sixteen years old. At the age of sixteen, her parents promised her to Jin Biao. Later, I heard from Fang Qin that her parents didn't like her, but they wanted the generous betrothal gift from the Jin family, so they promised her to Jin Biao. "

Wu Bantou raised his eyebrows when Jin Cheng called out Fang's maiden name. When he mentioned Fang Qin's story about her life, he finally had a vague guess about Jin Cheng's identity.

"Jin Biao married Fang Qin and treated her well at first. Later, Jin Biao started to lose his temper from time to time.

In fact, at first, he would just suddenly throw Fang Qin away or throw something. Although Fang Qin was a little scared, Jin Biao would coax her from time to time, and she gradually got used to it.

Until one day, Jin Biao came back drunk from outside and beat Fang Qin who came to help him without knowing the reason. Of course, he apologized later, but Fang Qin was really scared by him that time.

Although Fang Qin had a mother's family, it was no different from not having one. Her parents didn't care about her life or death. She had no place to complain and no place to go, so she could only hide in the garden and cry.

I happened to run into her and chatted with her for a few minutes, comforted her, and then we gradually became familiar with each other.

After we became familiar with each other, she would often tell me when Jin Biao suddenly lost his temper or when he suddenly threw something.

We gradually discovered that Jin Biao often lost his temper when someone mentioned things like offspring or marital relationships.

One day we suddenly thought: Jin Biao has married several wives, but it seems that he has no children.

I said, maybe it’s because she couldn’t get pregnant so she couldn’t bear to hear others mention it.

I was still a child when Jin Biao married Mrs. Yang, so I don’t remember much, but I was already a teenager when he married his second wife.

I thought back and realized that I hadn't paid much attention to it before.

But it seems that Jin Biao did lose his temper once because the old lady said that she had not conceived a child in such a long time, so she asked the doctor to take a good look at them.

Later, Jin Biao beat Fang Qin again. She was already helpless in this family, and Jin Biao's mood swings made her even more worried.

She couldn't stand it anymore and started crying to me, and I felt sorry for her. Later,

Recalling this, Jin Chengcai looked at Wu Bantou with a guilty conscience and continued, "Later, we thought about giving it a try. If we could get her pregnant, maybe her situation would be better.

Soon she really became pregnant. Everyone in the family was very happy and told her to be careful and take good care of the pregnancy.

In fact, ever since Fang Qin got pregnant, we had never been alone together to avoid suspicion. Until one day, I went to see Fang Qin when Jin Biao was out and there were few people at home.

I just wanted to see her and comfort her with a few words, but I didn't expect that the old lady would see me.

Later, when Jin Biao came back and saw what had happened, he had Fang Qin strangled to death in front of me!"

Having said this, Jin Cheng could no longer hold back and choked with sobs.

After a while, he calmed down and continued his story: "I was tied up and thrown into the woodshed. I knew that if I didn't escape, I would be worse than dead. That night, I struggled hard to break free from the rope and escaped.

Later, the county town spread the news that I had embezzled money from my master. Because I was the manager of the Jin family, many people in the city knew me, so I didn’t dare to stay, and I secretly left the city and didn’t dare to come back.

Jin Cheng finally finished his story, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Wu Bantou asked again: "Do you think it is possible that Jin Biao poisoned his first two wives? Can you recall any suspicious behavior of Jin Biao when Zhang was alive?"

Jin Chengdao: "I don't know if he killed his first two wives, but since he can poison his current wife, why wouldn't he poison his first two wives?"

Wu Bantou nodded.

Now that there is a witness who has accused Jin Biao of murdering Fang, then both his arrest and trial are justified, and his mission can finally come to an end.

Wu Bantou asked someone to find Jin Biao again, and his attitude was still polite.

"Mr. Jin, we have almost finished the investigation. I still need you and a few servants to come to the city to interrogate me. I won't make it difficult for you. Please cooperate."

Of course, even if Jin Biao wanted to refuse to cooperate, he had no choice now.
