Chapter 517 I believe it! I believe it!
Zhang Haoqiong took a step forward and took the initiative to introduce: "My Lord, these are the heroes who found the group of people behaving strangely in the alley last night and came to help catch them."
The gratitude and admiration contained in these words moved the listeners, but Chu Zian did not react to them at all.
Under his scorching gaze, the men in the corner who could hear the young man's inner voice slowly raised the corners of their lips, raised their hands, and revealed the tokens hidden in their sleeves.
The golden color almost dazzled his eyes, and the golden dragon carved on it attracted his entire attention. Chu Zian looked at the word "禦" that flashed by in amazement, and his whole body froze like a statue.
After a while, he raised his hand very slowly and reached out to support the edge of the desk.
What this little guy said in his heart... turned out to be true!!
She is truly the most favored eleventh princess of His Majesty today. These...
His shocked eyes fell on those brave men who acted bravely to help others.
Are these the most mysterious guards around Emperor Mingze? !
Chu Zian's complicated thoughts kept lingering in his mind for a while, and his mind turned a few times, and suddenly he straightened his chest!
Before, he was troubled by the fact that this case was a little bit tricky because it involved the Wang family, but now he is not afraid of anything!
Who in this world is stronger than his current backer? !
Who else?
"Zhang Haoqiong," Chu Zian coughed lightly, "What Wang Xiuxian said is not without reason. Do you have anything else to add?"
It can be said that this group of traffickers were hired by the Wang family to kidnap the eldest son of the Zhang family, or it can be said that they were hired by the Zhang family to slander the Wang family for committing a crime. In the absence of clear evidence, based only on these few confessions, even if he has confirmed the truth of the matter from the young man's voice, he cannot convict the Wang family so easily.
Zhang Haoqiong took a step forward with confidence: "Your Excellency, these people were caught by a few righteous men when they were fleeing outside the government with my son in their arms. Moreover, they admitted on the spot that they were ordered by Wang Xiuxian to do this. I hope your Excellency can see clearly!"
Chu Zian hesitated for a moment: Is it that simple?
Jiang Yingcheng was also intrigued: [It's that simple?! ]
Just... caught it, and then admitted it?!
Seeing that Zhang Haoqiong didn't seem to want to explain any more on this matter, Chu Zian leaned forward unconsciously, ready to listen -
「Oh oh oh——」
Jiang Yingcheng quickly found the relevant information, and he was visibly happy again: [It turned out that Uncle Xu had someone hiding among the traffickers, and took advantage of the chaos to shout "I confess everything——" Wow——]
[The quality of the goods sold this time is terrible!] She sighed in a pretentious manner.
Uncle Xu only pretended to drag his men aside and torture them, and the two of them then acted out a scene of being forced to confess. The group of people could no longer bear the pressure in their hearts and confessed all the information they knew.
[Let, let you be greedy for cheapness and not dare to hire a mature partner——Huh? 】
The little adult-like sigh suddenly stopped: [There are actually mature desperadoes near Xiyuan City who specialize in hiring killers? ! ! ]
Chu Zian: “???”
Chu Zian: “!!!”
Chu Zian's breathing stagnated, and then suddenly became rapid!
There are still such gangs around here?!
He could feel his heart beating like a drum, and he felt as if he was in a cloud of mist.
What kind of gang is this?!
This is clearly a rare achievement during his time as an official, and it is the solid foundation for him to return to the capital! !
[Well, but...] Jiang Yingcheng's round little face was about to wrinkle into a bun, [For something like this, even if Chengcheng slipped a note to the prefect, he might not believe it——]
She turned her head and glanced at Uncle Xu behind her, with a tangled expression: [How about... slipping another note to Father and asking him to ask Uncle Siming and the others to handle it?]
"!!!"
Chu Zian was almost about to reach out to the young guy to keep him!
I believe it! I believe it! !
No matter where those thieves are, he can send people to encircle and suppress them now!
No!
He went there himself!!
His originally calm and composed expression suddenly became unusually rich, causing Zhang and Wang, who were fighting fiercely, to stop.
"Sir?" Wang Xiuxian asked tentatively.
I couldn't help but replay the words I just said.
The new governor's expression suddenly changed. Could it be that he just said something wrong? !
Chu Zian had a hard time diverting his attention from the huge temptation given by the little guy's inner voice, but he couldn't control his expression for a moment -
These two people...where were they talking about?
Fortunately, the kid who was also distracted just now was also curious about this question.
[Huh? What did they just say? ]
[Oh my, they were just arguing, they didn't say anything! ]
Chu Zian breathed a sigh of relief.
This is much easier.
He deliberately asked again: "Besides this, do you have any other evidence?"
A hint of smug smile appeared at the corner of Wang Xiuxian's lips.
So far, it seems that this prefect is a sensible person.
His mood suddenly relaxed, and he did not listen carefully to what Zhang Haoqiong said. He glanced lazily around the court, and then he noticed the overly pale face of Wang Qizi beside him.
"???"
"What's wrong with you?" he whispered, and gave the other person a covert kick on the foot.
He didn't care much about his younger brother, but because the sister who became Qu Kaiyu's concubine and Wang Qizi were born of the same mother, he had no choice but to tolerate many of her behaviors.
Wang Qizi did not react to the light kick, but his brother's voice successfully pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Brother," he trembled, "the prefect said that Qu, Qu Kaiyu was, was..."
He was unable to utter the rest of the words, which were completely drowned out by his elder brother's suddenly terrified look.
"The prefect said that?!" He could no longer maintain the calm expression on his face. He took a step to the side and lowered his voice, "Are you sure you heard it right?!"
Wang Qizi's teeth chattered: "No, no..."
He glanced at the vendors kneeling beside him and added hastily, "That vendor just called me Young Master when they came in..."
"Brother..." His voice was filled with tears, "You really didn't do this, did you?!"
Wang Xiuxian's expression was as if he had been struck by lightning, and the veins on the back of his hand popped out. He barely resisted the urge to turn around and look at the prefect's expression, and gritted his teeth and said, "Of course not!"
I couldn't help comforting myself in my heart.
It's okay.
They have no evidence...
There's no way they could have evidence!
"Evidence?" Zhang Haoqiong, who had seen enough of Wang Xiuxian's acting, finally smiled and said, "Of course I have it."
At the same time, in a corner that he couldn't reach, a soft and sticky sound rang out.
[Cheng, Cheng Cheng has some——]
[Cheng Cheng not only has evidence related to this case, but Cheng Cheng can also find a lot of evidence of Wang's crimes! ! ]
Chu Zian: “!!!”
