Chapter 31 Three confessions, killing with a borrowed knife!
Xie Yao clearly remembered that in her previous life, a scholar, out of jealousy of Lu Shenyan, bribed the chef of the Lu residence to poison their food.
When Marquis Anping learned that his savior had been poisoned, he specifically asked the Queen Mother for mercy, allowing the imperial physician in the palace to treat her and Lu Shenyan, and the Shang Pharmacy also prescribed an antidote.
Lu Shenyan's poisoning was relatively minor, and he recovered quickly after detoxification. However, Xie Yao's old injuries relapsed due to the poisoning, and her martial arts skills were completely ruined from then on.
Now, Steward Wang said that Aunt Sun had found poison from her parents' home to murder her.
Aunt Sun’s father is none other than Sun Yaoling of the Shang Pharmacy.
That means that Aunt Sun had someone tamper with the antidote prescription that Shang Pharmacy gave her in her previous life.
What's more, maybe the scholar who poisoned her and Lu Shenyan was also bribed by Aunt Sun!
Then I thought that Aunt Sun was pregnant now and would give birth to a son later.
And my mother still has part of the dowry from the Xu family in her hands. Even if it is a small part, it is enough to make people jealous.
After his mother passed away, the dowry was left to him.
So, even though she had married Lu Shenyan, Aunt Sun still wanted to kill her!
After her death, the dowry that the Xu family gave to her mother, as well as her own dowry, completely fell back into the hands of the Xie family.
Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to survive the poisoning.
But in the end, he was killed by Xie Mingan.
Manager Wang told everything he knew, such as Xie Mingan bribing the old minister and giving him a golden-eyed jade Buddha, and other things. Some of them were old things from many years ago and there was no evidence, or they were just his guesses.
Only mentioning Aunt Sun would be useful to Xie Yao.
Manager Wang is just a small manager under Xie Mingan.
Her father was more secretive and cautious than she thought.
She still had no idea why Steward Wang obeyed orders to kill her in her previous life.
The only explanation at the moment is that Xie Mingan married my mother for the dowry, and not only did he kill my mother, he also wanted to swallow up the money my mother left for her!
"Today's events—"
Xie Yao had only said the first four words when Steward Wang kowtowed. "I will never reveal what happened today. Please, for the sake of my obedience, spare my life."
Seeing Xie Yao remained silent, he hardened his heart.
"If you need me in the future, I will testify and expose the evil deeds of Lord Wenchang!"
Originally, Manager Wang was quite loyal to Xie Mingan, but that day, his leg was broken by the Second Miss. Not only did Xie Mingan not treat him, he also fined him half a year's salary!
After that, they ignored him and never let anyone see him.
What’s the point of being loyal for so many years?
Moreover, the spies of the Imperial Eagle Division have sneaked into the Bo Mansion to investigate the Xie family. The Xie family may be finished, so he has to find a way out for himself.
Xie Yao looked at Manager Wang with her eyes lowered, as if she was considering what he said.
After a while, she spoke: "Killing you, wouldn't that alert the enemy?"
Steward Wang heaved a sigh of relief: "Thank you, sir!"
When Yu Yingsi said this, it meant that he would not die.
"If there is even a single lie in what you said today, my Eagle Control Division will have thousands of ways to make you wish you were dead, and unable to live." Xie Yao's tone was threatening.
"I would never dare to deceive you!"
When Manager Wang heard this, he felt much more relieved.
He was about to swear again, but Xie Yao said, "Words are not enough. I'm not as easy to fool as my colleagues."
"What do you wish, my Lord?"
Xie Yao tapped the table with her fingertips. "Write three confessions, clearly stating everything you just said, and sign them."
"As you command," Steward Wang nodded repeatedly, but couldn't help asking, "But why do you have to write three copies?"
Xie Yao spoke in a relaxed tone, emphasizing each word: "Of course it's for your life."
Like a spy from the Imperial Eagle Division who had finished her work, she lazily explained:
"I'll submit one copy to claim credit, the Imperial Eagle Division will keep one copy for record, and you can keep the third copy for yourself. If you need to make corrections later, it will count as your contribution. If the content on it changes, then..."
She paused, her voice filled with murderous intent, "I can only take your head as evidence."
"I understand." Manager Wang was so frightened that his whole body was shaking.
In any case, this Lord Yuyingsi was just investigating the case, and he would be useful afterwards, so he was left with a way out.
He wrote with trepidation.
Xie Yao just stood in front of him, staring at him, putting him under great pressure.
Manager Wang wrote faster and faster, became more and more skilled, and more and more fierce. He wanted to curse Xie Ming'an's ancestors for eighteen generations in the confession.
Finally, he bit his finger to sign.
In less than three cups of tea, Manager Wang had written three identical letters of submission.
Xie Yao took a look and put two of them away.
Under the nervous gaze of Manager Wang, she turned and left.
It was not until Xie Yao completely disappeared into the night that Manager Wang's whole body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Saved..."
He muttered under his breath, frantically hiding his confession.
This is his life-saving device, and there can't be any mistakes.
Xie Yao, carrying two confessions, moved back and forth in the darkness.
In her mind, she recalled what Xiao Yizi had said to her.
——"Qingcai is not only the eunuch who announces the emperor's edicts, but also the deputy envoy of the Imperial Eagle Department. Miss Xie has done the right thing in front of Qingcai before."
It was this sentence that made her realize that on the day the decree was announced, she had wrongly disgusted Xie Ming'an by saying that the reward silver he gave out was a waste of the people's money. Qingcai secretly took note of this sentence.
Perhaps, the original reward was too much silver, and Xie Mingan used the Xu family's wealth as an excuse, and Qingcai believed this reason.
But this was a different time. Xie Yao was the Princess of Jingbei, arranged by the Emperor, and the Xie family became the in-laws of the Prince of Jingbei.
The emperor chose the Xie family for the marriage because he saw that Xie Ming'an did not have much real power. Now that the Xie family has suddenly revealed some surprising things, it is natural to investigate thoroughly.
Of course, the emperor was unwilling to choose for a long time, and finally chose a powerful assistant for King Jingbei.
Because of Xiao Yizi's reminder, when she saw Manager Wang kneeling, she immediately thought of the Imperial Eagle Division.
She took advantage of the situation and, under the guise of being from the Imperial Eagle Division, found out the details of Manager Wang.
As for whether this matter will be exposed later...
Not to mention that the Imperial Eagle Division's investigation into the Xie family was only superficial. If they had only found bribery, they would not have charged the family with any crime.
She believed that someone would erase all traces of her.
Xie Yao stopped and took out one of the confessions.
In front of her was Madam Xie's yard.
This courtyard was different from Xie Mingan's study. There were no servants outside the courtyard in the middle of the night.
Two maids were guarding the door of Mrs. Xie's outer room, and they were already fast asleep.
Xie Yao opened the window directly from the outside and climbed in.
She walked around the old nanny who was on guard in the room and threw Manager Wang's confession onto Madam Xie's desk.
Then, Xie Yao turned and left.
She told Manager Wang: Killing him would alert the enemy.
He was also told that writing three confessions was for the sake of his life.
Coincidentally, she was not afraid of alerting the enemy.
What she wants is his life!
Is Steward Wang innocent?
In his previous life, he led people to kill himself just following the orders of Xie Mingan or Aunt Sun.
Now that nothing has happened yet, he has already knelt down and begged for mercy, and is willing to accuse Xie Mingan of having bribed him.
He seemed innocent and didn't deserve to die.
However, Xie Yao didn't want to think about these things.
She just wanted him to die, that's all.
