"Oh~" A series of exclamations came from the surroundings, and the ambiguous looks in their eyes were just like those of the onlookers in my class in my previous life.
Tang Tian'er blushed and lowered her head, looking extremely shy, but in her heart she was cursing these stinky men to death, lamenting that her reputation in the brothel was probably going to be ruined.
Zuan felt a series of angry points being received in the backend. He looked at them carefully and found that the proportion of customers was very small. Instead, the majority of them were employees of Xiaoyaolou. It seems that Tang Tian'er is the popular sweetheart of many colleagues in Xiaoyaolou.
At this moment, Sun Xun snorted: "Are you kidding me? This woman was clearly not in the room when the door was opened. She only came from outside now. How can she testify? Has your Xiaoyao Tower gone so far as to fabricate such a flawed lie to protect a criminal?"
Zu An feigned surprise and looked at Tang Tian'er: "Tian'er, weren't you in the room just now?"
The other staff members at Xiaoyao Tower thought sourly, calling each other "sweetie." The two were indeed very close. "Sigh, this guy just arrived and he's already slept with the prettiest girl in the building. Why are we so miserable?"
Even compared to the beautiful courtesans on the second floor, Tang Tian'er was no less stunning.
In addition, she always has a sweet and gentle smile when she speaks to anyone, and her temperament is extremely approachable, so she is very popular in the building.
Tang Tian'er was also very upset at this moment, thinking to herself, "When did we become so close?"
It seems he had a wonderful dream after being drugged by himself, and thought I was really doing something pleasurable with him.
But in this situation, she couldn't come out to defend herself, so she could only bite the bullet and admit: "Uh, I saw that you were fast asleep, so I didn't wake you up and went out for a bit."
Ugh, now everyone thinks I slept with him, and the thing is, my attitude is practically an admission of it. It's so ridiculous!
Hearing her words, the other men looked at Zu An with disdain. If they had such a beautiful woman by their side, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night. Damn it, this kid fell asleep so quickly, is he even capable?
As a fellow man, Zu An instantly understood their gazes, and felt a sudden, sharp pain in his groin.
He shared the same feeling as Tang Tian'er; there was no way to explain it.
Sun Xun said in a deep voice, "Even if what this Miss Tang said is true, it only proves that she was only assigned to No. 333 for a period of time. For the rest of the time, he can still go out and commit crimes."
Tang Tian'er hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, I was only gone for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. It's impossible for him to commit a crime in such a short time."
The fat Venerable One was secretly anxious, thinking to himself, why did she have to take the blame? She had already done more than enough by coming out to testify.
Even Zu'an glanced at her in surprise, never expecting her to openly favor him.
Sun Xun looked at the fat Venerable One, his gaze suddenly sharpening: "Does your Xiaoyao Tower dare to vouch for her words?"
The fat Venerable's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't just agree to that. Although he didn't think that guest number 333 could run out and kill someone, he didn't want to involve Xiaoyao Tower in this matter. So he didn't answer directly, but said, "If the Prime Minister doesn't trust us, he can ask the Sun family's own people. I noticed that when Young Master Sun left, he specifically left someone outside to monitor guest number 333."
A chorus of boos immediately rose from the crowd. Clearly, no one who came here was a fool. They immediately understood what Sun Ji was up to. Unfortunately, instead of getting revenge on Number 333, they ended up getting themselves into trouble first.
Sun Xun frowned and hurriedly turned around to search privately. Soon, a guard was brought over.
"Did the young master just leave you here to keep watch?"
The man nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Your Excellency."
"Was there anything unusual during this period? Did he leave the room?" Sun Xun continued to ask.
The man shook his head and said, "No, I've been guarding here the whole time, not daring to be distracted for even a moment. He didn't come out."
Zu'an then said, "Now the truth is out, isn't it? I was only patiently cooperating with you because you were heartbroken over the loss of your son. Shouldn't you apologize now?"
The fat Venerable secretly broke out in a cold sweat. This kid was truly fearless, daring to say anything.
Sun Xun gave him a deep look, then looked towards the window: "Is it possible for him to leave from here, so that the guards outside the door can't see him?"
The fat Venerable then spoke up: "Impossible. The outside is the venue, with people coming and going, and there are many experts there. If he leaves through the window, he will definitely be discovered by others."
Zuan sneered inwardly. Who told Sun Ji to be so vicious and try to kill me? In the end, the people he left to keep watch became my best witnesses.
At this moment, Sun Xun waved his hand: "Take him back and interrogate him slowly."
Tang Tian'er and the fat Venerable's expressions changed, and they hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister, why is this? His innocence has already been proven."
"Then why would Yang Long leave your number before he died? Even if he didn't do it himself, it's very likely that an accomplice outside cooperated with him. Take him away." Sun Xun clearly didn't want to waste words with them and directly signaled his men to take the person away.
"Is this how you, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, so carelessly disregard human life and arbitrarily judge cases?" Zu An sneered. "So many people witnessed my conflict with Sun Ji before. If the real culprit wants to frame me, I am naturally the most suitable candidate."
This is why he didn't wipe away the writing on the ground. Firstly, he didn't kill anyone, so he had a clear conscience. Secondly, everyone knew about his conflict with Sun Ji. Even if he wiped it away, the Sun family would still find him immediately, so it was better to leave this obvious clue unaddressed.
