Nangong Jiu looked serious.
"To be honest, after hearing about Zhu Xuejing's situation, this princess went to the Zhou family and did find something.
For now, this princess can only tell you that Zhu Xuejing did die from murder for money.
Let’s go, this princess will take you to the Zhou family to find evidence.
Remember one thing, when you get to Zhou's house, just listen quietly and watch.
Don't move around. This princess will keep you quiet for a while. I'm afraid you'll make some noise and alert the other party, which could ruin things."
"Your Highness and I understand!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Nangong Jiu brought Xiao Wang, Xiao Xing, Liu Hao and other officials and sneaked into the Zhou family.
At this time, the family was still drinking tea and chatting in the flower hall.
Nangong Jiu raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Changsheng.
Zhou Changsheng looked at the woman in his arms tenderly and said, "Ayin, our good life now is all because of your good ideas. That damn Zhu Xuejing is no match for you.
I listened to you and deliberately used her dead family members to provoke her, saying how tragically her family members died. She covered her ears and turned pale with fear.
I even tried to persuade her by saying that if it were me, even if all my family members died, I would never live alone. I didn't expect that she actually listened to me.
She was so stupid, she wanted to die but couldn't even hang herself on the beam with a piece of white silk. I helped her hang it up and even helped her put her head inside the white silk..."
After Zhou Changsheng finished speaking, Nangong Jiu pointed at the woman called Ayin.
A Yin acted coquettishly and hit Zhou Changsheng: "My husband, to be honest, she is really stupid. She just has a lot of money and a big dowry.
For the sake of our future good life, and to completely make her ours, Ayin will of course give you some advice.
Now, we have endless wealth and splendor, and she can only go to the underworld to find her dead family, haha..."
Nangong Jiu pointed at the two old men again.
The two of them answered with a smile.
"It's better to die! Don't tell me, we deliberately said things to anger her, used her family to provoke her, laughed at her for not being able to live alone, and instigated her to die, and she really died.
She had a gloomy face all day long, as if someone owed her something. Apart from a little dowry and money, what else was there for her? Keeping her was a waste of food.
She is an orphan, destined to be a lonely star. No offspring of our Zhou family can come out of her belly."
At this time, several officials appeared and applauded at Nangong Jiu's signal.
"Okay, okay, you are a family of murderers. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes and heard it with our own ears, we would never have believed that there is such a vicious family like you in this world.
Come, take them all to jail and execute them in the autumn!"
The sudden appearance of several people frightened the family, and they kept denying: "My Lords, it's unfair, we didn't do anything..."
"You didn't do anything? Do you think we're deaf and can't hear you?"
Liu Hao, Nangong Jiu and others also showed up.
"Even if they heard it wrong, could it be that I and the princess also heard it wrong?"
Nangong Jiu stepped forward and kicked each of them several times, making them beg for mercy.
"Zhu Xuejing was already pitiful enough, and you used a soft knife to kill her. Your whole family is a murderer. You must all pay for Zhu Xuejing's life!"
"Princess, we didn't kill her, she committed suicide! Princess, please spare her!"
"Spare your lives? If I spare you, will there still be justice in this world? Will there still be conscience? Wouldn't the country's laws become mere decoration?"
The officers who had been waiting outside the door kicked it open, tied up the terrified family with ropes, and took them to the prison.
The people nearby didn't know what was going on and gathered around to watch the fun.
The officials took the opportunity to explain the whole story to the people: "The Zhou family married Zhu Xuejing, but they didn't treat her well..."
After hearing this, the people talked about it a lot. Some were angry, some were sympathetic, and some were questioning.
Nangong Jiu stood up and said: "I am the Princess Dingguo of the current dynasty. You will understand after reading this."
After Nangong Jiu finished speaking, he showed the magic mirror to everyone. After seeing it, the people all cursed in low voices.
"This family has lost their conscience. Zhu Xuejing died unjustly. This murderous family must be severely punished! Severely punish them, severely punish them..."
After the officials repeatedly assured that they would handle the matter impartially, they escorted Liu Hao and Nangong Jiu away.
The group returned to the prince's mansion.
Nangong Yunxue stepped forward and asked, "How's it going?"
Liu Hao smiled and said, "Thanks to Jiu'er, we have finally found a solution to the Zhu Xuejing case, which we have been trying to uncover for half a month but have not been able to do so.
All members of the Zhou family have confessed their crimes and are now in jail. They will be executed in the autumn after their cases are concluded."
"The whole family will be executed later?"
"Well, the Zhou family was involved in Zhu Xuejing's death. They are all murderers. No one is innocent.
The most despicable thing is her husband Zhou Changsheng. When he saw that her white silk could not be hung on the beam, he went to help her hang it and even helped to put the white silk around her neck..."
Liu Hao couldn't continue. Nangong Yunxue's eyes turned red as she listened: "These damn bastards are trampling on life like this!"
Nangong Jiu listened silently without saying a word.
Nangong Yunxue looked at Nangong Jiu: "Jiu'er, what are you thinking about? You helped Zhu Xuejing get revenge, which can be regarded as eliminating evil."
"I'm wondering what role did Zhu Xuejing's uncle and his family play in this matter?"
Liu Hao smiled and looked at Nangong Jiu: "Are you trying to say, could her uncle's family be accomplices?"
"Well, if that's true, then Zhu Xuejing is too pitiful! No, I must get to the bottom of this matter. Otherwise, I won't be able to get over it."
Liu Hao and Nangong Yunxue exchanged a glance and said, "You've always hated evil since you were little, and you're still like that now!
If you want to investigate, go ahead. If that family is truly related, Daddy wouldn't mind killing a few more villains."
Nangong Jiu said seriously: "No! Even if they have no direct connection with Zhu Xuejing's death, they are still implicated.
As the elders, they did not properly examine this marriage and hastily married their niece off to the Zhou family as a burden, so they are indirectly responsible."
Liu Hao nodded in agreement.
"I didn't settle accounts with them before because the cause of Zhu Xuejing's death was unknown. Now that I know she was murdered for money just two months after her marriage, of course I have to talk to them."
"Okay, I'll find a suitable time to check it out."
Nangong Jiu was inexplicably depressed. On the way back to his bedroom, he kept looking down at his toes and almost bumped into a servant. Fortunately, the servant dodged quickly.
"Oh, Princess, what are you thinking about? Be careful not to fall."
"nothing!"
Taoist Qingchen and his companions saw the little man coming back with his head lowered, and hurried forward to ask him.
"Jiu Jun, what's wrong with you? Is something going wrong?"
Nangong Jiu shook his head: "It went very smoothly! The whole family confessed their crimes. But, I feel so sad."
"Is it because of the victim?"
“Well, she’s miserable!
Being treated like this by her in-laws, perhaps due to her uncle's family, doesn't she feel abandoned by everyone?"
