Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!
Chapter 175 The Little Princess's Feelings
The county jail was filled with a damp and foul smell. Di Ping, holding a long black scabbard in his hand, walked step by step, his footsteps sounding crisp.
"Sir, that kid has been yelling that he has been wronged and wants to see you... Sir, look at this..."
The constable holding a bunch of keys didn't dare to even look at Di Ping. In this dark prison, the black mask looked like an evil ghost demanding his life.
Di Ping was wearing heavy armor, and with every step he took, he could see the criminals in the prison holding their heads in their hands, trembling, and banging their heads on the dirty floor of the prison.
Trembling, he begged for mercy.
"Is this the man?"
In fact, Di Ping was able to guess the man's identity with just a glance. Her memory was not so bad that she would forget someone she met yesterday today.
I said this just to scare this person.
“My lord…My lord!”
"I am truly innocent...sir!"
A miserable and weak voice sounded in Di Ping's ears. Di Ping looked at the pair of dirty fingers grabbing the bars of the prison.
A smile appeared on the handsome face under the black mask. Whether this man is truly innocent or just pretending to be innocent, Lord Zhiyuan will make the final decision.
"Are you really innocent?"
"Look at my knife and speak carefully!"
Di Ping exerted force with his fingers and threw the knife upwards. The black scabbard flipped in the air. The silver rivets reflected the few dim lights in the prison, but it was like a sharp blade that pierced into the big man's heart.
The inky black blade was unsheathed, and Di Ping's other hand quickly touched the handle of the knife, while the constable standing next to him had already been frightened and stood there in a daze.
They had seen several shadow guards who were going to do errands in Xizhou City before. Their methods were extremely cruel, but they could almost always get the answers they wanted.
"My Lord... My Lord... You can't do that, you can't do that!"
Although he was very scared, the constable still wanted to persuade the shadow guard in front of him not to act impulsively.
“I say, I say…!”
The disheveled man originally wanted to play mad and cheat to avoid the interrogation, but he saw that the usually arrogant constable had turned pale with fear because of the shadow guard next to him.
I already understood a little bit in my heart.
The origin of this man in black armor might not be that simple. If he really stabbed himself to death in this prison, I'm afraid no one would redress his grievances.
So, he put away all his little thoughts and immediately gave in.
"My Lord, I am wise... I was confused for a moment and said something I shouldn't have said... I hope you will think twice. I did tell a lie at the beginning..."
He licked his cracked lips, frowned, and spoke hurriedly with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.
It seemed as if he was afraid that if he was a minute late, he would be chopped into pieces by the inky long knife.
"Oh, what did you say?"
Di Ping put his fingers on the hilt of the knife and pushed the blade back in. Sure enough, this sentence was exactly the same as what Lord Zhiyuan said. The burly man was not telling the truth.
"That brother-in-law and sister-in-law were not...having an affair. I was just obsessed at the time...and thought that Lao Liu's wife was pretty...so I spread some rumors."
"Old Liu has a bad temper and loves to drink. He gets into fights whenever he's unhappy. If he knew that his wife was having an affair with someone else behind his back, he would be furious and divorce her on the spot!"
"If it was someone else, Old Liu might not believe it. After all... he loves his wife so much that he doesn't even want outsiders to take a look at her. But if it was his handsome brother who teaches in a private school, he might not believe it."
The hands holding the prison bars trembled slightly.
He knew in his heart that if he revealed the whole matter, at the very least he would be severely beaten with dozens of sticks, leaving him half dead, or at the worst... he would be imprisoned for ten or half a decade and die in depression in this prison.
But if I don't say it now, I will lose my life.
"So you spread rumors that your brother-in-law and sister-in-law were having an affair, and let the couple's speculation spread?"
"What a good trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
It seems that if I hadn't just pulled out the long sword and scared him, he would have kept all these things to himself and not revealed a single word to anyone.
"Sir, I was just drunk and said a few extra words. Of course, I made up some of them... But does Old Liu not believe that his wife has any relationship with me?"
He cleared himself of all blame with just two sentences.
"Are you still quibbling here? Do you want me to recite the Daliang Law to you? You can't escape the death penalty, and you can't escape the punishment of life."
"However, the law may change drastically when you are sentencing. You will just have to pray for your own luck then."
Di Ping deliberately pretended to be superior, and acted like an officer with great authority.
Lord Zhiyuan was indeed very good at predicting the situation. This man was indeed the key to the case, but... he was a little too scary.
……
This unjust case is not just a mystery that is difficult to guess, but it is the darkest side of human nature.
Xia Zhiyuan nodded rapidly as she listened to Di Ping's report. Her complexion was a little rosier than yesterday, but she looked as if she had not slept well.
"Are you sleepy, Master Zhiyuan?"
"If you are tired, you can take a rest today. The county government will be in the hands of..."
Di Ping looked at Xia Zhiyuan worriedly, and naturally remembered the emperor's instructions to him that Lord Zhiyuan should be given priority no matter when and where.
If Lord Zhiyuan's body is indeed no longer suitable for handling official documents, then she can take over.
These were the exact words His Majesty said to him, so Di Ping kept them in mind and did not dare to forget them at all.
“Not very sleepy…”
"Oh, by the way, Di Ping, I have another matter for you to do. I'm at ease with you doing it."
Xia Zhiyuan yawned and covered her red lips with her palm. At this moment, she had covered herself tightly and outsiders could not see any clues at all.
"Tomorrow, Lord Zhiyuan, just give me your orders, and Di Ping will definitely do it!"
He clasped his hands together and bowed, Di Ping's black mask tied around his waist swaying slightly.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that there seemed to be a purple mark on Xia Zhiyuan's neck. Di Ping immediately withdrew his gaze and did not dare to look at it any longer.
Her heart was beating like a war drum as she thought of the day when the little princess secretly kissed her neck, her gentle lips pressed against her pulse, which made her feel distracted.
However, Di Ping did not take this matter to heart. The little princess has always been like this. She likes what she likes and hates what she hates. She sometimes acts impulsively.
The little princess had a very similar personality to His Highness, but she lacked His Highness's calmness. She was more lively and provocative, and liked to tease people. So even if Di Ping had some thoughts about it at the time, he had now completely forgotten them.
If she hadn't seen the mark on Lord Zhiyuan's neck, she wouldn't have remembered that there was such an unforgettable and even nostalgic event.
