"Someone, come and capture the son of Marquis Changxing!" Zhen Shicheng shouted fiercely.

A subordinate who had been standing beside the Prince of Changxing from the beginning to the end, immediately restrained the man upon hearing what was said.

The Marquis of Changxing was shocked: "Master Zhen, what do you mean?"

Zhen Shicheng pointed at the clothes of the Marquis of Changxing and said loudly: "My Lord, are you still going to turn a blind eye? The jade buttons on your son's clothes are exactly the same as the buttons the coroner found in the female corpse's hand!"

Marquis Changxing was already in a state of panic.

He only has this one son. Although he is usually a little cold-tempered, he is very good compared to those dandy boys in the capital who cheat their fathers and grandfathers.

He never thought that his son would kill someone!

No, it's impossible. How could his son kill someone? This must be a mistake!

"Lord Zhen, aren't you a little too impatient to catch me?" At this time, the Prince of Changxing was still calm.

Zhen Shicheng squinted and looked over.

He doesn't just look at people's faces; a person's true emotions are often reflected in their overall appearance.

Although the Prince of Changxing seemed calm at this time, Zhen Shicheng thought he was just pretending to be calm.

He wanted to see how this poor and vicious murderer would defend himself.

"The evidence is conclusive. I am not impatient." Zhen Shicheng said calmly.

The Marquis of Changxing sneered and pointed at the emerald bat-patterned button on his body and said, "Can this button prove that I am the murderer? Lord Zhen, aren't you being too reckless?"

"Sir, are you going to tell me that servants in your house also use jade buttons?"

"Haha, I'm a generous person. What's wrong with giving the clothes I've worn to my servants?"

"So, the murderer is the servant who received clothes as a reward from the prince?" Zhen Shicheng had a mocking smile on his face.

He had seen many people like the Prince of Changxing who were struggling to the death.

"Anzi, where are the clothes I gave you as a reward?" shouted the Prince of Changxing.

An Zi shuddered and almost collapsed on the ground: "Little one, little one——"

He couldn't utter a complete sentence.

At this point, even if the murderer is found to be the prince, what does it matter? As an accomplice, there is no way he can survive.

Meeting the meaningful gaze of the Prince of Changxing, Anzi made up his mind instantly.

Bring things over!

It's either death or something, so if I take the blame for the prince, at least his family can be treated well.

"The little one is burnt—"

"Why did it burn?" The Prince of Changxing asked, hiding his excitement.

He knew that Anzi would plead guilty for him!

Anzi was already in tears: "I was blinded by greed and harmed these good girls. Recently, I found that a button was missing from my clothes. I was worried that something might go wrong, so I burned the clothes. Sir, I admit my guilt and beg you to spare my life!"

Zhen Shicheng ignored An Zi and slowly scanned the servants in the mansion and asked, "Have any of you seen this man wearing clothes with jade buttons?"

The servants remained silent.

Of course they have never seen it, but who dares to say?

Anzi was the prince's personal servant. At this point, these servants had no idea who the real murderer was and their legs were weak with fear.

The Prince of Changxing cast a cold gaze towards Lu Zi.

Lu Zi shuddered, the cold air rising from his tailbone, and blurted out: "I've seen it before!"

After he finished speaking, he shook his body as if he was weak.

We should be thankful that at least it is Anzi who is taking the blame for the prince. He may still have a chance to survive!

Zhen Shicheng looked at Lu Zi. That all-seeing gaze almost made him unable to stand steadily, and he fell to his knees.

"I have actually seen Anzi wearing clothes with jade buttons, and I was jealous at the time. I never thought he was this kind of person!"

Jiang Si listened to Lu Zi's nonsense with a sneer on his lips.

The Prince of Changxing is really the kind of person who won't cry until he sees the coffin. Even at this point he still wants to push his subordinates to take the blame.

She flipped her right hand and a faint light rose from the palm of her hand. Because it was daytime, it was almost impossible for others to detect it with the naked eye.

The phantom fly came to Lu Zi's side along the messy ground, followed Jiang Si's will, and went up along his clothes little by little, and finally disappeared into his ears.

The girl's emotionless voice suddenly rang out: "If you lie, you will go to hell and have your tongue pulled out."

Because these words came so suddenly, everyone was stunned for a moment. Just as they were trying to find the source of the sound, Lu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly screamed and jumped up.

This scream immediately attracted everyone's attention, and no one cared who was speaking.

Lu Zi was terrified. He jumped up, covered his mouth and ran away.

"Stop him!" Zhen Shicheng shouted.

Two bailiffs immediately held down Lu Zi's shoulders.

Lu Zi struggled desperately, his eyes wide open as if he had seen a very scary scene: "Let me go, don't pull out my tongue, don't pull out my tongue!"

Zhen Shicheng stroked his beard.

What is happening?

"Who will pull out your tongue?"

"Evil ghost, evil ghost!" Lu Zi was so frightened that he had lost all reason, and he was flailing around with his fangs and claws bared. "I've seen it before, and so has An Zi. Yes, yes, they are here to take revenge, they are here to take revenge on us!"

"Did you kill them?" Zhen Shicheng asked.

The boy in front of him seemed to be frightened mad, but he didn't look like he was pretending. This was a good time to interrogate him.

Lu Zi's head shook like a rattle: "It wasn't us who killed them, it was the prince! Those young ladies were all killed by the prince, An Zi and I were only responsible for burying the bodies... I didn't lie, I didn't lie, let me go..."

Suddenly, bright red blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

Zhen Shicheng made a prompt decision and shouted, "Pry his mouth open, or he might bite off his tongue!"

Two yamen runners pried open Lu Zi's mouth, revealing his bloody tongue.

Fortunately, it didn't break.

Zhen Shicheng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at An Zi who was already scared silly, and shouted: "Are you still going to cover up for your master at this time? You must know that there is a god watching over you, and the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it!"

An Zihun shuddered, his lower body was already wet, and he collapsed on the ground like mud, resigned to his fate and said, "Brother Lu is right, those young ladies were killed by the prince... the prince..."

He now believes that ghosts really exist in this world.

Otherwise, what did they see that night? Otherwise, why did Lu Zi go crazy after he lied?

He has done so many shameful things for the prince. Even if he dies as a scapegoat, will the innocent souls killed by the prince let his family go?

Definitely not!

Every wrong has its perpetrator and every culprit has his guilt. He might as well tell the truth. At least those female ghosts won't be angry with his family.

“You, you bastards!” The Prince of Changxing knew that the situation was hopeless, and his face turned as pale as snow.

Zhen Shicheng curled his lips and waved his hand: "Take it away!"

"Let me go! What grounds do you have for arresting me? I am the eldest son of Marquis Changxing!" The eldest son of Marquis Changxing shouted hoarsely, no longer having the image of a nobleman from a famous family.

The wife of Marquis Changxing woke up at some point, and when she saw her son being captured, she rushed forward without caring about her image.

Seeing this, Jiang Qian ran over.

Stop him, stop him from dragging her in!
