Chapter 143: Bring a witness. Could it be that someone really saw her kill Zhou Tianci that night?
Yu Qian was stunned and furious: "Nonsense, you are talking nonsense, it was you who killed Liu Laizi!"
"It was obviously you and Zhou Tianci who killed him." Xiao Ying retorted coldly.
Yu Qian was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This woman was really good at talking nonsense. She was hateful, really hateful.
He kowtowed in frustration and said angrily, "Please, my three lords, please understand. It was she who killed Liu Laizi!"
Xiao Ying followed suit, but with a calm demeanor: "Please understand, my three lords, Liu Laizi must have been assassinated by Yu Qian and Zhou Tian."
"you……"
Yu Qian wanted to swallow her in one bite.
"quiet!"
Ding Fang was also furious. He never expected Xiao Ying to be so difficult to deal with.
If it was just him and Zhou Yanqing, it would be fine. They would just charge her with murder. After all, once she was put in jail, there was no hope of her getting out.
But there is Ning Yuanze, and he is the son of Prime Minister Ning.
Even if he is just a bastard's son, he is still a member of the Ning family. If he says something to Prime Minister Ning and Prime Minister Ning is willing to intervene, he and Zhou Yanqing will be finished.
After all, Ruyi Restaurant is involved in this, and the Ning family cannot just watch them cut off this cash cow.
"Yu Qian, do you have any other evidence?"
Ding Fang was extremely angry and even gnashed his teeth.
Yu Qian was sweating profusely, and he calmed down a little, knowing that things were getting difficult.
He racked his brains and thought about it, then suddenly said, "Sir, I have more evidence!"
He took out a ring from his pocket and presented it to her, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart again.
"Sir, this is Yang Huai's ring. He never lets it go, but this ring was given to me by Xiao Ying. She must have killed Yang Huai and taken his ring as a warning to me and Master Zhou."
Ding Fang glanced at the ring and questioned Xiao Ying directly: "Xiao Ying, do you admit what Yu Qian said?"
A strange look crossed Xiao Ying's face, and he said directly: "My Lords, I don't know Yang Huai at all. I have never met him, nor have I seen this ring, let alone given it to Yu Qian."
"I'd like to ask Yu Qian, what is your intention in just randomly pulling out a ring and accusing me of murder?"
"Your story is quite good, but it's just a story, it can't be true."
Yu Qian was furious. "How dare you lie in front of the three of us? You clearly gave me this wrench, and you even severed your cooperation with Manxiang Garden over it. Now you dare to deny it?"
Xiao Ying looked at him with a hint of amusement: "Who I want to cooperate with is my own business. Who says I can't cooperate with others?"
"My Lords, please understand that the reason I chose Weixianju instead of Manxiangyuan for my spicy sesame oil is because Weixianju is owned by Mayor Liu Cong."
"I'm just an ordinary village woman. I don't dare to offend Manxiang Garden or Weixianju, so I can only seek a balance."
"Furthermore, Mayor Liu is a loyal and upright person. He was indebted to my second son, who was a servant in the Liu family at the time. This is one of the reasons why I chose Weixianju."
"It's ridiculous that the shopkeeper was envious of Weixianju's huge profits and took his anger out on me, even fabricating such a lie to accuse me of murder."
She shook her head regretfully and sighed, "It seems that the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life is cooperating with Manxiangyuan."
Ding Fang and Zhou Yanqing knew that this matter was related to her, but they could only listen to her eloquent words and try to make everything go away. They couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Ding Fang asked sharply, "Yu Qian, you said Xiao Ying killed Yang Huai. Do you have any other evidence? When and where did she kill him? Why did she kill Yang Huai?"
Yu Qian suddenly felt powerless and could only tell the hidden truth.
"Your Excellency, this was also instigated by Master Zhou Tianci. Manxiang Garden originally signed an order with Xiao Ying for 3,000 kilograms of potatoes at a price of 30 wen per kilogram. These potatoes were found by Xiao Ying in the mountains."
"Mr. Zhou thought the price was too high, so he wanted to leave Xiao Ying behind and go find potatoes on his own, so he sent Yang Huai to follow her."
"But I didn't expect Yang Huai to never return. Two days later, Xiao Ying came to Manxiang Garden with Yang Huai's ring, and the cooperation ended from then on."
"Sir, everything I said is true. Xiao Ying must have discovered Yang Huai and learned of our plan, so he killed him."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Yuanze frowned and thought to himself that Zhou Tianci was really shameless.
Before, he sent people to burn spicy sesame oil, and now he sends people to find other people's ways to make money. He deserves to die.
Ding Fang also frowned: "Who else knows about this? Is there any witness?"
"Mr. Zhou was also in the room at that time..."
Yu Qian was helpless. Now that Zhou Tianci was dead, there was really no one who could testify.
"So there are no witnesses?" Xiao Ying's tone was cold. "Manager Yu is really good at making up stories."
"I don't know who the Yang Huai you're talking about is, and I've never met such a person. Who knows if you made it up on purpose to frame me?"
Yu Qian was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't produce any evidence. This woman was so cunning.
Ding Fang was also very disappointed with Zhou Yanqing and was very dissatisfied with him.
If Zhou Yanqing had not been so impatient, thinking that she was just a country woman who could be easily captured, and had not sent people to capture her without any preparation, they would not be in such a passive position now.
Otherwise, you can look for evidence first, such as finding Yang Huai. Even if he is dead, you can find a corpse to impersonate him.
Now, Xiao Ying directly said that he didn’t know him and had never seen him. Moreover, he had already alerted the enemy, so it would be difficult for him to do anything next time.
"Leaving Yang Huai's matter aside for now, Yu Qian, you accused Xiao Ying of killing Zhou Tianci. Do you have any evidence?"
He gave Yu Qian a way out. As long as he could prove one of the three murders, Xiao Ying could be convicted.
Yu Qian looked at Xiao Ying hatefully, then suddenly smiled strangely.
Since he dared to come here today, he had made sufficient preparations. The previous two cases were just a prelude.
It would be great if he could capture Xiao Ying, but if not, he still has one last trump card.
"My Lord, I have a witness."
Ding Fang's expression relaxed, and he immediately said loudly, "Bring a witness."
Xiao Ying raised her eyebrows slightly. Witness? Could it be that someone really saw her kill Zhou Tianci that night?
Then why didn’t Wei Liang tell us when he was investigating, but had to wait until now?
While I was thinking, I saw a man in his early twenties being brought in. He was pale and thin, dressed simply, and I didn't know who he was.
As soon as the man came in, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the three people.
"Who is here? Tell me your name."
"Your Excellency, I used to be Wang Er, a servant of the Zhou family. I was responsible for cleaning Master Zhou's yard on weekdays."
Wang Er shrank back with his eyes lowered, not daring to look at Ding Fang and the other two.
Yu Qian immediately added, "Sir, it was Wang Er who saw Xiao Ying kill Master Zhou that night!"
