Chapter 155 Confession

The moonlight was dim, and the road was barely discernible. Jiang Yun stumbled and trembled as she held up her skirt.

Looking at the empty arch bridge not far away, Jiang Yun swallowed her saliva and looked around vigilantly, trying to find the person who had an appointment with her.

But the night was hazy and gloomy, and she couldn't see clearly at all. The strange insect sounds echoing on the river bank sounded a bit weird, and scared Jiang Yun trembling.

She didn't forget that tonight was the first seven days of Chunyue.

If she hadn't had to, she would never go out tonight.

After observing for a while with trepidation, seeing that there was no unusual movement, Jiang Yun walked towards the arch bridge.

Before going up the bridge, Jiang Yun confirmed that no one was on the bridge, but when she got on the bridge, she saw a person standing on the bridge, silent and ghost-like.

Jiang Yun was startled, and asked with trembling voice: "Who are you?"

The figure at the other end of the arch bridge said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I know you hired a murderer and killed Chunyue to cover up the crime."

The two were about ten feet away from each other, and the night was dark. The man was still wearing a hat, and Jiang Yun couldn't see his appearance, but knew that he was a tall man.

"I don't understand what you are saying, Chunyue fell into the water and drowned." Jiang Yun was afraid of being deceived, so she decided to play dumb and test the other party's true and false.

The man sneered: "You are jealous of your cousin, and you failed to harm her and suffered the consequences, so you are resentful. You spent money to hire villains in the city and let them harm your cousin."

"Unexpectedly, they are all dead, and the government has also found you. You were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you killed Chunyue who hired the murderer for you to silence her. Am I wrong?"

"You, you, you..." Jiang Yun stared at the man in front of her and asked in panic: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

This man knew so much, but he didn't report it to the government. He must have some ulterior motives.

"Today is Chunyue's first seven days, do you remember?" The man suddenly laughed evilly.

Jiang Yun swallowed hard, stared at the man with a tingling scalp and said: "So what?"

The man said sinisterly: "Chunyue came to you to claim her life."

After speaking, the man pointed to the side.

Jiang Yun turned her head and saw a ghost figure with disheveled hair and a wet body floating on the river, stretching out his hands and floating towards her.

"I died a miserable death, why did you want to hurt me..."

A gust of cold wind blew, and Jiang Yun's face turned pale as paper, and her body hair stood up. Her legs were weak and she took a few steps back. She leaned against the arch bridge fence to stabilize her body.

As they got closer, Jiang Yun saw that the ghost figure was wearing Chunyue's clothes, and her figure and voice were very similar to Chunyue. Jiang

Yun was so scared that she immediately thought that Chunyue was really looking for her life, and she trembled and begged for mercy.

"Chunyue, don't look for me. I can't do anything. If you don't die, we will all die."

"I'll burn more paper money for you and go to the temple to set up a memorial tablet for you. Please let me go."

Chunyue floated onto the bridge and stood on the bridge railing, dripping with water, saying, "I can't let you go. Li Jinhu and the others are waiting for you down there."

Li Jinhu was the leader of those notorious thugs. It was Jiang Yun who killed them all.

But Jiang Yun refused to admit it and said cunningly, "Their deaths have nothing to do with me. They were stupid. I asked them to harm Jiang Shu. Not only did they take the money but failed to accomplish the task, and they also caused trouble for me."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun was furious and wanted to dig up the graves of Li Jinhu and the others.

"What about me? I am loyal to you. Why do you want to harm me?" Chunyue suddenly raised her voice, sharp and cold like a ghost's roar.

Seeing that Chunyue was unwilling to let her go, Jiang Yun trembled and took out a talisman from her arms, put it in front of her and said, "Loyalty? You colluded with Lin Rui and him behind my back, and you still have the nerve to talk to me about loyalty."

"I tell you, I'm not afraid of you. If you know what's good for you, hurry back to the underworld, otherwise I will make your soul fly away!"

Jiang Yun clenched the yellow talisman, her face sinister.

"Good, you really killed my daughter!" A group of people suddenly jumped up on the arch bridge, led by Chunyue's parents.

Jiang Yun was stunned and didn't understand what was going on until she saw Jiang Shu, Jiang Ning, and the officials behind them.

"You...you guys." Jiang Yun suddenly realized and said angrily: "You teamed up to harm me!"

"Jiang Yun, you still don't know your mistake until now." Jiang Shu spoke in a clear voice, hating and disappointed with Jiang Yun.

After all, they are cousins, but she harmed her again and again without any blood relationship.

After the truth was exposed, Jiang Yun knew that she could not escape, so she simply broke the jar and cursed Jiang Shu to vent her anger.

Yu Zheng frowned and ordered coldly: "Catch her."

"Yes." The yamen runner took the order and went forward to arrest Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun knew that if she was caught, she would die, and she would also suffer humiliation and torture, so it was better to do it.

She threw away the talisman in her hand, turned around quickly, climbed over the bridge railing, and jumped down screaming.

"Throw!" Hearing the loud sound of someone falling into the water, Jiang Shu and others hurried to the bridge railing and looked down.

It had rained a few days ago, and the river water rose sharply. Jiang Yun fell into the river and sank. After a while, she surfaced and instinctively struggled down the river.

"Chase! We must find her alive or dead." Yu Zheng ordered in a deep voice.

A team of yamen runners walked down the bridge quickly and chased along the river bank.

Leng Xing pushed aside the long hair covering his face and went to the other end of the bridge to pick up a person.

It was Lin Rui. He heard what Jiang Yun said and was also a witness.

After handing him over to Zhu Feng, Leng Xing squeezed the water off his clothes.

It's really uncomfortable to pretend to be a drowned ghost. Fortunately, it's summer, if it was winter, it would be even more painful.

"You can still judge a case this way." Jiang Ning sighed.

Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "It doesn't matter what method you use, as long as it works."

Jiang Ning listened and believed it.

"It's late, I'll take you back." Yu Zheng said to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu nodded, followed Yu Zheng down the bridge, and Jiang Ning hurried to follow.

Zhu Feng took off his hat, threw Lin Rui to Lord He, and said, "Lord He, the rest is up to you. If you can't do it well again, you can pack up and go home to retire."

Lord He quickly agreed and said that he would definitely get it done.

He is only in his early forties, who would grow old so early!

The carriage stopped a little far away, and after getting off the bridge and walking across the river bank, they had to go through a forest.

It was dark in the forest, and the road was a little unclear. Jiang Shu almost tripped over a rock.

"Be careful." Yu Zheng steadied her, naturally took her hand and led her along.

After walking out of the woods, the light was brighter. Jiang Ning, who was following behind, saw the two people's clasped hands, and his mood was a little complicated.

He was happy that his sister had found someone to take care of her, but he also felt that his sister had been kidnapped.

On the way back, Jiang Ning said nothing.

Noticing his abnormality, Jiang Shu asked in confusion: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm sleepy." Jiang Ning yawned and dozed off against the wall of the car.

Jiang Shu had no doubts and said to Yu Zheng: "Can you let Leng Xing follow me like an ordinary guard? That way I don't need to bring other guards when I go out."

Yu Zheng was slightly surprised: "You want Leng Xing to follow you closely?"

"Well, the guards of the Jiang family are all men. It's always inconvenient to follow them every day."

Yu Zheng thought about it and agreed.

As a secret guard, Leng Xing never thought that she would turn to the light one day.
