Chapter 767 The real murderer
Old Uncle Li was invited up. He shrank and looked at the people present. When he saw Xue Hefeng, he subconsciously stopped and took two steps back in panic.
Zijin supported the old man and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, old man. We are here, he won't dare to hurt anyone."
"What's the name of the witness in the hall?" Li Zhong gave a startled cry.
Old man Li stepped forward and knelt down, lowered his head and answered Li Chong's question.
"Old man Li, I want to ask you, the place where the crime occurred is sparsely populated, why did you appear there that day?"
"Sir, the peasants are delivering food to Fahua Temple. After delivering the food, they will go home via the back mountain road."
"I'll ask you again, what did you see?"
"I saw... I saw murder!"
Xue Hefeng's eyes sharpened, "You are so bold and unruly that you dare to lie in court. You know this is a serious crime!"
Old Uncle Li was originally afraid of Xue Hefeng, but when he yelled like this, his whole body couldn't stop trembling and he wanted to hide back.
"Mr. Xue, when I am reviewing the case and I don't ask you any questions, please be quiet, especially don't intimidate the witnesses." Li Zhong said with a solemn face.
Xue Hefeng narrowed his eyes, "Can't I still raise questions?"
"Master Xue!" Liu Yunxiang looked at Xue Hefeng and said sternly: "Don't forget, you are now a suspect!"
Xue Hefeng bared his teeth and said nothing.
"Old man Li, can you clearly see the victim, a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old? Who killed her?" Li Zhong asked again.
Old Man Li shrank back, a little afraid to answer.
"Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone hurt you."
"I……"
Old Man Li looked at Xue Hefeng again and saw his sinister face. Thinking of the scene that day, he shook his head hastily, "I didn't see it, I didn't see anything!"
Old Man Li suddenly changed his words, and Liu Yunxiang frowned.
Hearing this, Mrs. Feng couldn't hold back anymore, turned around and kowtowed to Old Uncle Li, "Old man, please save me. You know I didn't kill anyone, but I will be beheaded soon. I am not afraid of death, but I still have
A child of six or seven years old, if I die, he will not survive."
Xue Hefeng angrily shouted: "Master Li, this is against the rules!"
Li Chong hurriedly asked the officer to stop Feng, and at the same time rubbed his forehead, "Old man, I will ask you again, what did you see?"
The old man still hesitated to say anything, but Zijin became a little anxious, "Old man, if you don't bring the bad guys to justice, not only will the dead not rest in peace, innocent people will be harmed, and you will also be in danger."
When Old Man Li heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage and said: "The common people saw that girl was stabbed more than ten times by a man, with blood splattering everywhere. She should have died on the spot."
Li Chong's eyes widened, "Is the murderer in the hall?"
Old Man Li took a deep breath, raised his head and pointed at Xue Hefeng, "It's him!"
"You idiot! How dare you talk nonsense..." Xue Hefeng said and was about to rush forward, but the officer next to him stopped him.
Li Zhong slapped the wall hard and said, "The suspect Xue Hefeng has not knelt down to explain the whole incident!"
"Li Chong, how dare you!"
"How outrageous! In court, the suspect still doesn't kneel down!"
Xue Hefeng still refused, but was escorted to his knees by two officers.
Old Man Li gave a clear account of what he saw that day, and it matched Feng's confession perfectly.
"Xue Hefeng, what else do you have to say?"
Xue Hefeng gritted his teeth. On the day he killed Xiao Wu, he really didn't see anyone passing by, but he actually saw all this. Now that he has a witness, it is no longer possible for him to quibble.
After thinking for a long time, Xue Hefeng raised his head and said: "Xie Wenqing was indeed killed by me."
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked at Liu Yunxiang. Liu Yunxiang frowned. He admitted it, but he admitted it too easily. He was afraid that there was another conspiracy.
"But that day, Feng and Xie Wenqing teamed up to kill me. I just resisted and killed Xie Wenqing during the resistance." At this point, Xue Hefeng sneered, "According to Da Rong law, in order to ensure my own
If you resist while being safe and kill someone unintentionally, your guilt will be mitigated or you will be exempted from it, right?"
Li Zhong pursed his lips, "It's not you who decides the severity of the crime."
"I just hope Mr. Li can be fair." Xue Hefeng smiled.
Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes. Feng and Xiao Wu indeed invited him there to kill Xue Hefeng, and Xue Hefeng did kill Xiao Wu during the resistance. If convicted in this way, Xue Hefeng's crime would not be too serious, or even
No need to go to jail, just a bad official position.
This is obviously not enough!
"No, he pushed the fifth girl away, but he stabbed her again and again, clearly killing people!" Feng shouted.
"Oh, by the way, this Feng's premeditated murder is not a light crime, right?" Xue Hefeng asked.
Li Zhong looked at Liu Yunxiang, and then said with a deep breath: "Put Xue Hefeng and Feng into a cell, waiting for the trial of the three law divisions!"
Xue Hefeng's face was gloomy, with a smile on his lips, but the smile was full of cruelty. He knew that he had failed, but fortunately it was not serious and he could start over again.
"Princess, you sent me to prison. You probably don't know that you have offended the entire Yang Kingdom Palace!"
Liu Yunxiang shrugged: "I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid."
After leaving the hall, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to send the old man home safely.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Liu Yunxiang walked to the palace alone. When he walked to the street, he unexpectedly ran into Lu Changan, who had just come out of the dim sum restaurant with two boxes of snacks in his hand.
Looking at the long queue behind him, Lu Changan had really worked hard to buy these two boxes of snacks. Seeing her, Lu Changan walked forward with a smile.
"Yunxiang, what a coincidence."
Liu Yunxiang nodded and glanced down at the snack in Lu Changan's hand, "Prince Lu, what is this?"
“Faier likes to eat the dim sum here.”
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Indeed, this girl is very greedy. But why haven't I seen her these days?"
In the past, Tuoba Feier would come to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion every now and then, but these days she has not seen anyone.
Lu Changan smiled and said, "She is pregnant."
Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened, "When did it happen?"
"She had lost her appetite these days. She went to the doctor and found out she was pregnant."
"Great, then you have to take good care of her."
"certainly."
The two of them walked towards the alley as they talked. After passing this alley, they reached Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
"Congratulations, Prince Lu."
"Well, I am indeed very happy to hear the news."
Liu Yunxiang nodded, exchanged a few words, and then didn't know what to say. A few days ago, he and Marquis Yun impeached Yan Mu and sealed off all the properties in her name. This was no different from stabbing her in the back.
Liu Yunxiang can be cold-faced to him, but he has his own position. She can't ask everyone to follow her. If you just act like a friend, there is no sincerity, and no matter how deep the affection is, it will fade away.
"Yunxiang, I'm sorry."
