Longevity: I am in the quiet garden, the sun and the moon

Wu Jingzhi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, he could be regarded as secretly helping Xiao Shizhong, this is not a small favor, how can he not repay himself in the future?

Grab the gavel and prepare to retreat...

"and many more!"

The butler who was kneeling on the ground raised his head and said, "My lord, I have an important witness!"

Wu Jingzhi dropped the gavel, curled his lips, "What important witness, why didn't you say it until now?"

"Back to the adults, she was a surviving victim at that time, and now she is the villain's wife. I didn't want her to touch the pain before, but now it seems that it can't be done. In order to get justice for his wife, the villain must Bring the wicked to justice!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't all the girls at that time have died? How could there be any survivors?"

Xiao Shizhong blurted out in a hurry, and regretted it after he finished speaking.

"Xiao Shizhong, didn't you say that you don't know what you did, how do you know that everyone is dead?"

"Those of you sitting here have all heard the truth. Xiao Shizhong has been sophistrying all along, so now you're panicking."

Cui Sheng suddenly regained his energy, with a smug expression on his face. Since the butler said there were witnesses, there must be. Let's see how Xiao Shizhong defends himself?

"Cui Sheng, don't spout blood!"

Xiao Shizhong was also a little speechless for a while, why did he panic when he regretted it.

Wu Jingzhi continued to ask: "Housekeeper, didn't your previous confession say that all the girls died, why did you suddenly find someone alive? This is the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and it's not a place for you to make up and arrange at will. You know, perjury is not felony."

"My lord, the villain has already said the reason just now. I don't want my wife to be involved in this matter again. What the villain said is the truth, and I will never dare to lie in any deceit!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, steward, I ask you, what happened to this surviving woman?"

Liu Jing interrupted Wu Jingzhi impatiently, he was not interested in perjury or not.

"When the villain dragged the body out of the city, he found that one of the women was still alive, so the villain felt compassionate and found a doctor. Unexpectedly, she survived, and the villain took her Fly away."

"Then, where is this woman now, is she in the capital?"

"Return to Your Highness. It's just outside the city at the Yuelai Inn. The villain had an agreement with her before entering the city. You can call her here with the villain's token."

While speaking, Keyan took out half of the jade pendant from his waist.

"Come on, hurry up to Yuelai Inn and send someone here!"

Liu Jing gave an order, and the two servants who came up took the jade pendant and left the lobby.

"Little Bangzi, I was sleepy just now, now it's a bit interesting, do you think this woman is real or not?"

After the yamen servant left, Liu Jing secretly whispered something in Xing Bang's ear.

Xing Bang smiled slightly: "Your Highness, it's really hard to say, if it's true or not, you'll know in a while."

He didn't say anything, but thought in his heart that since Liu Xian personally set up this situation, it must be safe. However, in the final analysis, he has the final say on how to deal with Xiao Shizhong.

If you don't want to kill Xiao Shizhong, even if the evidence is solid, you can definitely keep him.

From the looks of it, this butler has always been under the strict control of Liu Xian, and Qin Bingyan probably doesn't even know about the survivor.

That's right, in the whole world, is it possible that the king's land, the steward listens to Liu Xian's words, so that he can live safely.

Now, Xiao Shizhong and Cui Sheng were honest, no one paid any attention to each other, and everyone waited quietly for the guards to bring them back.

At this time, Wu Jingzhi also ordered people to bring white fungus and lotus seed porridge, one bowl for each person, but Liu Jing specially served a few more delicate snacks.

"Who is that? Serve a bowl to this housekeeper too. They are also suspects. You can't favor one person to another. Besides, this housekeeper is also a witness!"

"Come on, this king doesn't like to drink this stuff, so give it to him as well."

The guard was also snobbish, and he brought a bowl to the butler, but Xing Bang couldn't stand it anymore, and Liu Jing also agreed with him when he said this.

The butler turned around, glanced at Xing Bang gratefully, and then nodded in this direction, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Excellency!"

Liu Jing waved his hand, "Hurry up and eat, if you are tired, you can sit down and have a rest!"

"The villain is not tired, thank you Your Highness for your kindness!"

The butler was very tired, but he didn't dare to make a fuss. He was really hungry, so he picked up the bowl and started to eat.

Xing Bang took a piece of dessert and handed it over, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Your Highness, you look like a virtuous king now."

Liu Jing took His Royal Highness and laughed: "You eat too, you eat too!"

He looked like he couldn't bear Xing Bang's praise, and the one who smiled was a bright and happy one.

Xing Bang sighed in his heart, in fact, this child is still very kind by nature!

Comparing his heart with his heart, he sees Liu Jing's respect for Xing Bang, and he sincerely hopes that he will try his best to give him a good result.

Even if Liu Hui becomes emperor in the future, the unambitious Liu Jing might still be a good helper.

Of course, this is the result of Xing Bang's temporary planning.

About half an hour later, the yamen servant came back with a woman.

The appearance is very beautiful, according to the age mentioned by the housekeeper, this woman is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, but her face looks a bit weather-beaten.

The woman didn't hesitate, and knelt beside the butler. The butler said it was right. She probably had a lot of trauma in her heart, and she was very terrified of being submissive.

Wu Jingzhi's gavel made the girl tremble in fright...

Xing Bang shook his head disdainfully, his mother, what kind of bullshit Shangshu is he who bullies the weak.

"Miss in the hall, do you recognize the two people next to you?"

Wu Jingzhi pointed to Xiao Shizhong and Cui Sheng.

There is still a hand in this thing, and it is an effective way to identify a woman first.

The woman raised her head tremblingly, seeing Xiao Shizhong was trembling all over again, she just took a look and then looked away, probably because she knew him deeply, then looked at Cui Sheng, turned around and said: "My lord, Minnv recognizes, one is, Xiao, Master Xiao, and the other is Cui Xiangye."

Wu Jingzhi couldn't help but sternly said: "Identify to this official!"

The woman trembled again...

Liu Jing snorted coldly, "Master Wu, are you trying to scare such a weak woman on purpose or what? You've turned her face pale from scaring her. She is a victim, not a prisoner!"

"Your Highness, this humble minister is... this is just the majesty in the court!"

Wu Jingzhi blushed, he did do it on purpose, it wasn't completely intentional to favor Xiao Shizhong, but he was used to seeing people put on official positions.

Liu Jing pouted, "Go ahead!"

The woman quickly and accurately identified Xiao Shizhong and Cui Sheng on the spot.

Wu Jingzhi thought that it should be true, and then continued to ask: "Then tell the truth, what grievances do you have?"

The woman trembled for a long time, and said with tears in her eyes: "Master Xiao, he... no, Xiao Shizhong, he is a demon beast!"
