Wang Tiezhu murmured, "I really misjudged him."
He looked at Bei Yutang with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry. I, I almost hurt you."
"No, you don't have to apologize to me. Even if it wasn't you, they would have found another witness to prove that I was the one."
Wang Tiezhu, the most important witness, has now been eliminated, and the only thing left is the handkerchief.
Minister Yang said, "Wang Tiezhu must have made a mistake. Then what about the silk handkerchief?"
"Sir, we have a witness, Sipa."
Suddenly, An Ye spoke.
Everyone looked at him in unison.
"Let them in."
An Ye came out with a woman who had been standing beside him for some unknown period of time. The woman had a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance.
Dai Xiang and Xue Qian were completely confused, but Xiao Moer was not surprised at all.
The two stood in the court, and An Ye said to the woman, "You can take off your veil now."
The woman obediently took off her veil, and when she revealed her true face, everyone around her gasped. Half of the woman's face was covered with a severe scar, and her face was hideous and terrifying.
“She, she, she…”
Wang Tiezhu pointed at Xi and said, "Aren't you dead? Why are you still here?"
Although half of Xi's face was destroyed, the other half was still intact.
Prefect Zhang frowned, and his frown was so tight that it could kill a fly.
A dark light flashed across Zhou Gongjin's deep eyes, and he looked at the people in front of him without any expression.
Xi said, "Everyone must be wondering why I, a dead person, am here. It's because I wasn't destined to die. The fire in my house wasn't an accident. Someone wanted to burn me alive."
"That night, I drank a cup of tea and passed out. When I woke up, I found myself in a sea of fire. I thought I was dead, but luckily, this brave man rescued me from the fire, and I was able to save my life."
"Although I have no evidence to prove who committed the murder, I know in my heart why they wanted to kill me. It all started because of a silk handkerchief."
"That day, when the trial began, I served as a witness on behalf of Madam Mu. That evening, a man in brocade knocked on my door. He offered me a large sum of money and asked me to perjure myself in court the next day. He was deliberately framing Madam Mu, saying that she had bribed me to do so."
"It's all my fault for being too greedy. I should have given false testimony to those people. This is retribution." Xi shed tears of remorse.
Zhou Gongjin waved his hand, and Ah Man, who had been waiting in the back hall, came up with a man.
"Look, the two of you, this is the person who bribed you."
Hong Ling and Xi Shi walked forward, took a closer look at the man, and immediately said, "It's him. It's him."
"Yes, it's him. It's this person who came to my house with silver." Xi said excitedly.
As the two of them finished speaking, suddenly, a voice was heard outside.
"Hey, isn't that the money manager of Prince Jin's Mansion?"
"Ah, he is the King of Jin's man."
"Why did the Prince of Jin's people frame Madam Mu?" someone asked in confusion.
"Have you forgotten? Madam Mu is the second in command of the Lei family, and Prince Jin has a close relationship with the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Why do you think he would go after Madam Mu?"
