The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 257 Confession

A bullet flew out of the bamboo tube and landed at Ye Wudi's feet.

Ye Wudi was about to dodge, but unexpectedly the bullet hit the ground and exploded. There was a small "pop" sound, and the bullet exploded, emitting a faint smoke.

Ye Wudi was shocked and quickly covered his mouth and nose.

Gudong!

He fell without warning.

About an incense stick of time later, Ji Yunzhong and the other two left the prison.

The three of them acted as if nothing had happened, Ji Yun returned to his own residence. Jian Yue and Doctor Mao returned to the Princess's residence.

Because Ye Wudi was found in the Taiwei Mansion, the Emperor ordered Taiwei Rong and his family to be confined to the mansion until the matter was fully investigated.

The Second Prince and his party were extremely terrified and gathered together secretly to discuss countermeasures.

A day later, the prince and Ji Yunzhong sent people to Qiongzhou to secretly escort Jin Batian to Shangjing. At this time, the prince made the case public in the Dali Temple.

The officials were in an uproar.

Because the prince was very quick, he immediately interrogated the prisoner before everyone could react. What shocked the officials was that Jin Batian, a famous gangster in Qiongzhou, answered all the questions in the lobby and honestly confessed the murder of the Yan family, the richest family in Qiongzhou. He even explained clearly who was behind it and why he wanted money.

When Xie Mingzhi received the news, before he had time to think of a countermeasure, the father and son were taken to the lobby, and the mansion was also guarded by people from the yamen, and no one in the mansion was allowed to pass the news outside.

General Rong, who was originally confined to the mansion, was also summoned to the Dali Temple.

Xie Mingzhi wanted to delay time by denying everything, but the prince produced his confession, which shocked Xie Mingzhi so much that he lost his voice.

No, when did he confess? How come he didn't know?

"Unjust! Unjust! Your Highness, the confession is false. It is perjury."

The presiding judge, the prince, looked at him and sneered: "Since you said it was a lie, I'll ask you to say it again. Take him away and execute him."

Xie Mingzhi and his son were dragged away without explanation. They were only beaten with a few sticks, and after being dragged back, the father and son answered all the questions and confessed everything they had done.

General Rong was terrified as he listened, and secretly cursed the father and son for being cowardly and stupid.

"I have never done what they say. It is completely false." General Rong retorted without changing his expression. As long as he did not admit it, no one could do anything to him.

The prince also sneered at him. In order to avoid other accidents, he had already decided to cut the Gordian knot and get all their confessions today.

Because the emperor did not remove Rong Taiwei from his post, the prince was relatively polite to him and did not torture him. When he refused to cooperate with the interrogation, the prince asked him to sit in the side hall to rest for a while, drink some tea, and think carefully before going to court.

General Rong held his head high and walked to the side hall with a haughty look on his face.

A yamen runner brought tea and cakes. The tea was good. Although Rong Taiwei was calm on the surface, he was nervous all the way. His mouth was dry, so he picked up the teacup and drank it all.

He drank several cups of tea before he was able to suppress the anxiety and restlessness in his heart.

The entrance to the side hall was guarded by the prince's men. The Second Prince's party also had a party in the Dali Temple, and they wanted to communicate with Rong Taiwei, but they never found a chance.

When he went to court again, the Second Prince's group instantly lost their composure. Because General Rong seemed to have changed into a different person. He not only admitted that he was the mastermind behind the tragedy of the richest man in Qiongzhou, but also arrogantly said: "This General is interested in the wealth of the Yan family because he thinks highly of them. It is a blessing that they will never get in their eight lifetimes to contribute to the Second Prince's path to the throne."

Everyone present was stunned.

The people of the Second Prince's faction were trembling with fear and sweating profusely.

It's over, it's over!

In the lobby, two officials fainted without any warning.

Jian Yue and Doctor Mao, who were hiding in the back hall, quietly left the Dali Temple after seeing that the main characters had been interrogated.

This old case was thought to be difficult to obtain evidence and difficult to close. But no one expected the trial to go so smoothly, as if with divine help.

The next thing will be easy. The prince sent people to arrest the accomplices and some people involved, such as Yan Xiuyuan and Xie Chujiao.

Xie Chujiao was murdered. Although Yan Xiuyuan was not involved in the case, he later secretly investigated the death of his ex-wife in childbirth and the disappearance of the wealth of his ex-wife's family. He found out that there was a big shot behind the Yan family tragedy, so he stopped investigating and did not make it public. He was guilty of knowing the truth but not reporting it and protecting the murderer.

While the prince was busy sorting out the evidence, many people in the Jingzhao government suddenly fell ill. The sick people all had red eyes, difficulty breathing, and fever and vomiting. Moreover, the disease spread very quickly. Before the doctors in the clinic could determine what the disease was, many officials, government officials, and imperial guards were infected.

Doctor Mao and Jian Yue were urgently summoned to the palace to examine the emperor and empress, and did not leave the palace until the evening.

After leaving the palace, the sky was a little dark. It was still a cloudy day. As they walked, Fu Wu outside the carriage felt something was wrong and immediately stopped the carriage.

"Princess, there is an ambush."

Jian Yue lifted the car curtain and saw a group of masked men slowly approaching with a surrounding attitude.

"Master, please hide under the car." Jian Yue quickly retreated back into the car, lifted the mat and opened a panel.

"Be careful and protect yourself." Doctor Mao quickly hid under the car.

Today, there were three people following him. Fu Yun, Fu Wu and Fu Liu. They stood in different directions around the carriage.

While the masked men were still there, Jian Yue quickly shot out several knockout drug bullets.

Thump thump thump…

Several of them fell down one after another, scaring the other masked men to retreat quickly.

Jian Yue and Fu Yun fired two arrows in succession, and each arrow took away a life.

The masked man didn't expect to meet such a tough guy, and he couldn't help but secretly regret taking such an order.

"Kill! Charge forward, and they won't be able to use their bows and arrows." The leader encouraged his men.

The other masked men secretly despised.

Isn't that nonsense? Everyone knows that if you rush to the front, they can't shoot arrows. The key is whether you can rush to the front? As soon as you show your head, their arrows will be aimed at you.

Even though they complained in their hearts, they still charged forward even though they knew it was impossible.

The two parties fought together.

The masked man thought that the two archers were only skilled in archery, but he didn't expect that they were also very skilled in martial arts.

Jian Yue was the best at light Kung Fu. In order to conserve her energy, she did not fight head-on with these people. She scattered the sleeping pills in her hand while moving around.

Just then, a patrol team heard the noise and rushed over.

It can only be said that these masked men chose the wrong time to assassinate. Because of the rapid spread of the unknown disease, the number of patrols in the imperial city increased several times in one day. The purpose was to prevent someone from taking advantage of the strange disease to cause trouble.

"Who is fighting here?" A loud shout scared the remaining masked men...
