Xiao Cunyu really wanted to take full responsibility.
His third brother is a gentleman as white as jade. Not to mention setting foot in such a place, even if he takes a look at "Spring Pity", I'm afraid many women in the capital will be heartbroken.
It's like an immortal falling from grace to earth. How can we not be heartbroken?
However, Xiao Guantang still shook his head, bowed to Master Zong and said, "My brother is naughty, and I tried to protect him, so I concealed a few things."
"The truth is, yesterday, I briefly read 'Spring Pity' and became suspicious of the woman's fate in the book. So, I took my seventh brother with me to that place to look for her. I originally wanted to save Miss Qiao from her suffering and do a good deed, but I didn't expect my seventh brother to be so discerning and realize that Miss Qiao's experience was extraordinary. After a detailed discussion, we learned that she had committed murder..."
Xiao Guantang roughly recounted the process.
Of course, Ah Qiao's real name and the story of the six girls were ignored.
Aqiao confessed to trafficking women and later to the murder.
If the government took action to rescue those girls without any preparation, their families might not be able to accept it, and the girls would probably be too embarrassed to face anyone. Even though Xiao Guantang was not a person who liked to lie, he knew what to say and what not to say.
Seeing that the two had really helped keep the secret, Cui Qiao confessed more readily.
Lord Zong never imagined that the two young men from the Xiao family could catch a murderer without making any noise!
Moreover, what did the murderer just say? He actually confessed to killing thirteen men!
It is clear when each one was killed and where he died!
After a while, the Xiao family's guards captured Zhao Ren.
Zhao Ren was stubborn but after being beaten a few times, he told the truth.
He was greedy for money, and Aqiao could make money for him. He arrogantly threatened Aqiao with the "whereabouts" of his two children and got a lot of money from her. When he saw Aqiao kill someone, although he was dissatisfied with her causing trouble, he helped her hide the body for the money...
Until now, Zhao Ren still didn't know that Aqiao knew that the child was gone...
There was no need to waste time on this case, and Aqiao was soon sent to jail.
The two brothers exchanged pleasantries with Lord Zong and listened to a few words of praise. Just as they were about to leave, the yamen runner came running over and said, "Sir, that Ah Qiao just now committed suicide."
Xiao Cunyu pursed his thin lips slightly.
"How did he die? Why didn't you keep a closer eye on him?" Lord Zong was a little angry.
A good person was handed over to him, but died before being executed? Although the little girl would die sooner or later, if she died now, the higher-ups would blame him for not guarding the prison properly...
"Miss Aqiao hid something in her hair. It was a sharp weapon smaller than a finger. It went into her throat and she died..." The bailiff was also very panicked.
The prisoner looked beautiful and well-behaved. If she had not confessed quickly, they would probably have thought that she was wrongly accused!
But I didn't expect that this man had already made up his mind to die, and he came to the yamen just to sign his name!
Xiao Cunyu knew what Cui Qiao was thinking.
If she didn't die now, according to the government's case handling procedures, they would have to check her hometown, find her family, and even wait for her family to arrive before beheading her in public. At that time, her family would have to collect her body.
As a result, her parents and relatives were criticized.
Now she died peacefully, and she signed a contract and confessed her guilt before her death. Her current identity was just a woman who escaped from a brothel. Even Zhao Ren didn't know her original name. The government didn't need to waste time investigating a dead person, and would just bury her hastily.
When he learned the news of Cui Qiao's death, Xiao Cunyu saw Cui Qiao's ghost floating over with the yamen runner.
Finally, he followed her.
