Chapter 393: This killer is too mysterious
Li Lisheng's appearance caused an uproar.
After all these years, a killer actually came forward to turn himself in.
No matter how you look at it, it seems too fantastic.
Could it be that the killer suddenly had a change of heart?
Or, is it a brain seizure?
But why does a killer walk with a limp?
Also, what's with those bruises on your face?
Could it be that he was beaten by someone?
The Shuntian prefect looked at Li Lisheng and asked in a dignified voice, "Li Lisheng, who was the person who hired you back then?"
As soon as the Shuntian prefect finished speaking, not only the people in the court, but even the ordinary people who were just watching the show pricked up their ears and looked at Li Lisheng with burning eyes.
Only Qiu Songbai showed a relaxed expression.
Li Lisheng looked at Lin Wanyu, and then at Qiu Songbai.
"To answer your question, sir, it was the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion who first sent someone to contact the villain. Later, it was the second lady of the Duke of Yingguo Mansion who paid money to hire the villain to murder the eldest lady of the Duke of Yingguo Mansion." Li Lisheng replied.
"You're talking nonsense!" Qiu Songbai's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily, "I don't even know you, and I've never sent anyone to contact you!"
After saying this, he looked at the prefect and said loudly, "This person must have been instructed by someone to speak nonsense and slander the officials of the court!"
After all, Qiu Songbai is the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion. Although he is uneducated, under the manipulation of Shangshu Qiu, he still got a sinecure in the Ministry of Works, which means he has an official title.
"Snap!"
The Shuntian prefect slammed the gavel and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Don't even open your mouth when I'm not asking you a question! If you do it again, you'll be severely punished!"
The Shuntian prefect started to investigate the case in the correct way and acted impartially.
Qiu Songbai was stunned, with a look of astonishment on his face.
As if he couldn't believe that the Shuntian prefect was so disrespectful to him, he actually scolded him in court.
You know, he is the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion.
Although many ministers in the court held higher positions than him, they could only bow and scrape before him.
Shuntian Prefecture Governor ignored Qiu Songbai and looked at Li Lisheng, asking, "Li Lisheng, is what you said true?"
Originally, after hearing what Qiu Songbai said, Li Lisheng wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but he was frightened back by the gavel thrown by the Shuntian prefect.
After hearing the Shuntian Prefecture Governor's question, he immediately replied, "Your Excellency, everything I say is true! In my early years, I received favors from the late Duke of Ying, Lin Peng. So, after learning that the person I was hired to kill was Duke Lin's only daughter, I deliberately leaked the news to the eldest daughter of the Lin family, allowing her to escape. I also created the illusion that the eldest daughter was dead, and then reported to the second daughter of the Lin family."
Li Lisheng paused here and glanced at Qiu Songbai.
Then, he continued, "Afterwards, I was worried that the eldest daughter of the Lin family might still be in danger, so I made a special investigation. I then discovered that the person who first approached me was the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion. It turned out that this eldest son and the second daughter of the Duke of Ying's Mansion had been shamelessly and immorally involved with each other for a long time!"
When Li Lisheng finished speaking, his tone was full of contempt.
The crowd: "..."
This criminal who turned himself in was very conscientious and responsible.
Not only did he release the young lady, he also helped to create a fake death scene.
Moreover, there is after-sales service.
Now, not only did he surrender himself to the police, but he also single-handedly proved that the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion had an affair with the second daughter of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion and plotted to murder the eldest daughter.
It's just timely relief.
In this way, the criminal is grateful and has a conscience.
In this way, Li Lisheng gained a lot of favor.
Of course, some people also wonder whether this person is here to surrender or to show off his achievements?
You see, not only did he not kill the eldest daughter of the Lin family, he also helped create the illusion of her own death.
The Shuntian prefect's eyes flashed.
He had been handling cases for many years, so how could he not realize that Li Lisheng's words sounded convincing, but in fact, it was because he spoke so smoothly and provided so thoughtful after-sales service that people felt as if he had memorized them beforehand.
Qiu Songbai was so angry that his nose was about to be crooked.
After what happened today, even if he could get away with it unscathed, his reputation would definitely be ruined.
Who is behind this?
Lin Wanyu felt a sense of relief.
For her, reputation and integrity have long been like floating clouds.
Now he just wants to drag Qiu Songbai to hell and bury the entire Shangshu Mansion with him.
"You're talking nonsense!" Qiu Songbai pointed at Li Lisheng and cursed. "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you frame me? Tell me! Who ordered you to frame me?"
The Shuntian prefect was about to bring the gavel down when he stopped.
What if, by chance, I can eat another big piece of melon?
Li Lisheng looked at Qiu Songbai with disdain and said, "Although I'm not a good person, I'm much better than a shameless scum like you who even hooked up with his own sister-in-law!"
"As for what I said, every word is true! There's no one behind this! It's all because I can't stand despicable people like you. I want to seek justice for the eldest daughter of the Lin family, who has suffered for decades while living in exile!"
When Li Lisheng finished speaking, he looked completely righteous.
After saying this, he looked at Lin Hong and said, "Lin Hong, you are not good at educating your daughter. Although you are doing a good job now, don't forget that the dowry that the eldest daughter of the Lin family deserves has been squandered by your daughter and the Shangshu Mansion. You should know what to do!"
Lin Hong, “…”
Of course he knows!
After hearing what Li Lisheng said, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture felt that Li Lisheng was more suspicious.
I didn't know this and thought he was sent by the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
but--
Alas! I didn’t get to eat the melon.
With a "bang", the gavel was used again.
"Powerful and powerful..." The yamen runners on both sides also cooperated with the business.
"Come here! Go to Lin's manor and get a witness!" the prefect of Shuntian ordered in a deep voice.
Then, he ordered people to get Lin Wanyu's dowry book and Lin Wanyu's account book, and summoned the housekeeper who served Lin Wanyu, etc.
Shuntian Prefecture Governor issued an order, and then looked again -
Zhang Tiechi is missing.
Okay, Minister Qiu, just wait for the challenge.
Soon, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture also hurried into the palace with Lin Wanyu's dowry book and a small notebook for records.
This is a major case involving Minister Qiu forming a clique for personal gain and must be reported directly to the Emperor.
As the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, he cannot make the decision.
Although, he might be a step late if he enters the palace now.
Not surprisingly, the Shuntian prefect met Zhang Tiechi in the palace.
And there was a group of ministers written in small notebooks kneeling outside the imperial study.
The Shuntian prefect snorted inwardly.
This group of people are quick to get the news. I'm afraid they are guilty and will run to defend themselves as soon as they hear the news.
