Su Muxi sneered inwardly.
Wei Huan really won't give up!
Even now, they're still trying to turn the tables.
Knowing that the Wei family was gone and had nowhere to go, they thought of dragging the Su family down with them?
Oh!
After hearing Wei Huan's words, Su Muxi not only did not get angry, but also smiled, and spoke in a softer voice than before.
"Miss Wei, you're saying that the confessions you signed and sealed in Fukang County were all forced upon you by me, the Princess Consort?"
Wei Huan felt a surge of pride, slightly raised his head, and said decisively, "Yes!"
Then Su Muxi asked, "You're saying all of this was meticulously planned and arranged by the Su family?"
"yes!"
"Is the Su family doing all this because they covet the Wei family's business?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Guanghan felt a sense of foreboding.
But Wei Huan once again answered decisively, "Yes!"
Su Muxi chuckled upon hearing this: "Heh! Miss Wei probably doesn't know that your Wei family's business has been completely divided up by the major merchants in Jinzhou City, but my Su family has not taken a single share."
If what you say is true, then all of this was meticulously planned by my Su family for the sake of your Wei family's business.
Then why does my Su family not take a single penny?
Upon hearing this, Wei Huan looked at Liu Guanghan with an incredulous expression.
"Lord Liu, is what Su Muxi said true?"
Liu Guanghan sighed inwardly.
They thought they could turn the situation around with Wei Huan's testimony, but they didn't expect Wei Huan to be so quick to speak.
Now things are much better.
This gave Su Muxi the upper hand again!
So he could only nod reluctantly.
Wei Huan still couldn't believe it, "The Su family really didn't take a single penny?"
Logically speaking, if the Wei family falls, the Su family will surely take the opportunity to swallow up everything the Wei family owns.
How could they possibly take nothing at all?!
Liu Guanghan nodded again, "How could Princess Yong'an speak nonsense in front of so many people?! As for you, you'd better tell me everything you know! Otherwise, I will have to torture you!"
Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, Wei Huan started biting wildly like a mad dog.
"I know! You corrupt official, you must have been bribed by the Su family too! Everything I just said is true! This was all meticulously planned by the Su family! My entire Wei family was also killed by the Su family!"
Just then, Jia Ren, who was tied up to the side, also began to chime in: "That's right! This was all arranged by the Su family! I only poisoned the people of Fukang County on the orders of the Su family head! I never expected the Su family to turn on me after using me! I beg you gentlemen to do me justice!"
Both witnesses changed their testimonies, clearly showing they were fearless, which makes things difficult.
Liu Guanghan tentatively asked Su Muxi, "Your Highness, how about we torture these two?"
Wei Huan doesn't know much, but Jia Ren knows everything, so Jia Ren must not be allowed to live!
The people we just arranged at the city gate have not been of any use, but we can take advantage of the execution to take Jia Ren's life!
But Su Muxi sneered, "Heh! If torture is used, people will inevitably say it's a forced confession. So in addition to witnesses, I, the princess, also have physical evidence."
"Physical evidence?! What kind of physical evidence?"
Liu Guanghan spoke in surprise.
Upon hearing the words "physical evidence," a cold sweat broke out on my back.
No wonder Su Muxi had always looked so calm; it turned out that in addition to witnesses, there was also physical evidence!
Su Muxi said calmly, "Physical evidence is more important than witness testimony. Lord Liu should know this, right?"
"Today, Lord Liu, please begin by questioning the witnesses. As for the physical evidence, I, the Princess Consort, intend to present it after Imperial Censor Xie arrives. I believe Lord Liu will understand."
Liu Guanghan awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Then may I ask what the Princess Consort's evidence is?"
Su Muxi didn't look at Liu Guanghan, but stared intently at Jia Ren kneeling on the ground, and softly uttered a single word, "Trust".
Upon hearing this word, Jia Ren maintained a calm demeanor, but his dilated pupils betrayed him.
Jia Ren is afraid!
Then Su Muxi said, seemingly unintentionally, "His Majesty sent me and the Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Anyang to handle the matter in Fukang County. Logically, the Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Anyang should have come to listen to the trial, but he was ambushed by villains in Fukang County and is now seriously injured. So I had to send him to the post station to rest."
However, I, the Princess Consort, will recount the entire incident to the Heir Apparent of Marquis Anyang afterward.
Seeing the fleeting look of surprise in Jia Ren's eyes, Su Muxi confirmed that Jia Ren was unaware that Qiao Xiuyuan wanted to kill Qiao Ziming.
But thinking about it, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs!
If people knew that Qiao Xiuyuan wanted to kill Qiao Zimo, who would be willing to risk their lives for him?
Liu Guanghan was clearly quite surprised by Qiao Ziming's injury, and even looked at Su Muxi with a hint of inquiry after hearing about it.
I think Qiao Ziming's injury is related to Su Muxi.
After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked, "How is the heir of the Marquis of Anyang now? Is he alright?"
"Although my life is not in danger, it is still hard to accept being betrayed by someone I trusted."
"A person I trust?" Liu Guanghan had already thought of someone, but he dared not believe it.
But then Su Muxi slowly spoke, “Yes, the man who stabbed the prince was named Chang Zhong. He was a confidant of the Marquis of Anyang. The Marquis of Anyang sent him to protect the prince, but unexpectedly, he stabbed the prince when the prince was completely unprepared.”
Chang Zhong was an old servant in the Marquis of Anyang's household and the most trusted person by the Marquis. I never expected him to do such a thing.
