Chapter 300 Blood Letter

“Squeak—”

The cell door was opened, and Huo Wei, who had kept his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

Looking up at Xiao Jinxuan and Xie Zhuoning who walked in together, he smiled slightly, "What? Are His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and Miss Xie here to let me out?"

Xiao Jinxuan's narrow eyes swept across his face calmly, and his tone was flat, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Lord Huo. This time, I came here to convict you."

Huo Wei was still pretending to be confused, "Oh? I don't know what crime I have committed? Did Mei Niang wake up? I was too harsh on her, and I feel deeply guilty. I am willing to pay her a thousand taels of gold in exchange for reconciliation with her."

Being able to pay compensation is already his greatest compromise.

So what if there is no reconciliation?

Isn't it normal for a prostitute who sells herself to suffer a little injustice?

Xie Zhuoning narrowed his eyes, not seeing any trace of guilt or regret on Huo Wei's face.

To him, maybe he never considered Mei Niang and the others as human beings at all?

She couldn't help but ask, "Master Huo, so many people died at your hands, have you never felt guilty for a moment?"

Hearing this, Huo Wei's smile faded and he immediately raised his eyebrows, "Where did you hear those rumors, Miss Xie? Did the servants tell you something? I've said before that I've never killed anyone. Mei Niang just lost her temper. Those are just one-sided and slanderous words!"

If he's alive, I want to see him in person; if he's dead, I want to see his body.

They say he killed so many people, where did their bodies go?

If they found nothing and convicted him, he would definitely report Xiao Jinxuan.

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyelids with a mocking smile, "Master Huo is so confident because he thinks all the evidence has been destroyed, right?"

Judging from the tone of their voice, could it be that they have found other evidence?

Huo Wei's expression froze for a moment, but he soon realized that he was being too suspicious.

The traces were cleaned up so cleanly, how could there be any evidence left?

They must be deceiving themselves.

He leaned back against the wall, looking calm and composed. "I don't know what Miss Xie is talking about."

That look was filled with a confidence and resolve that made one grit their teeth.

Xie Zhuoning raised the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic arc. Laugh, laugh hard, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Master Huo may not know that Mei Niang's younger sister came over just now and said that she found something on her..."

As she spoke, she took out sheets of blood written on the paper.

These blood-written letters were all written by women who were tortured to death by Huo Wei. Before they died, they tore off their clothes, bit their fingers, and wrote these tearful accusations against him with their final unwillingness!

Mei Niang didn't know where these things came from, but she could imagine how desperate and helpless those women must have felt when they wrote these blood letters.

Huo Wei looked flustered for a moment, but quickly calmed down, "Impossible, how could there be such things? You must have fabricated them!"

Every time someone died, the people in Qianjin Building would be destroyed, not even a hair would be left. How could such important evidence be left behind?

"Fake?" Xie Zhuoning smiled, his smile as cool as the crescent moon, "Do you know where these blood-written letters were found?"

When she came, Ayu said that Mei Niang was seriously injured and would not wake up for a while.

They interrogated him for a long time but were unable to pry Huo Wei open his mouth.

Just when they thought they could not get any substantial evidence to convict Huo Wei, Qingyue arrived in a hurry.

She said that when she was washing her sister's body, she noticed that the pattern on Mei Niang's clothes was not right.

Although they used the double-sided embroidery that was passed down from their family, the direction of the stitches was different from before.

She remembered this needlework. At that time, her sister was afraid that it would be unsafe to put money in her purse, so she used this secret needlework to sew a layer on the inside of her clothes, which could not be seen from the inside or the outside.

She immediately realized that there was something hidden in her clothes, so she took a pair of scissors to open it and found the blood-written letters sewn in the seams.

This is how Mei Niang hid the blood letter. It is unknown how other women hid it.

But what we do know is that they knew that their bodies would disappear after death, so after writing these blood letters, they secretly hid them, guarding the secret one by one, hoping that one day, they would be cleared of their grievances!

Fake?

Who could have faked the heavy hatred and injustice written on these blood-stained letters?!

Xiao Jinxuan's face was cold, as chilly as snow, "I have reported this matter to His Majesty. Huo Wei, you have sinned deeply, and you will get what you deserve."

Hearing this result, Huo Wei was not in a hurry. Instead, he frowned sinisterly and said, "If I had known earlier, I should have killed that little bitch Mei Niang earlier."

As expected, one should not be soft-hearted towards women.

Xie Zhuoning had originally not intended to say anything else, but upon hearing this, the anger that he had just suppressed suddenly rose up again.

She walked up to Huo Wei, raised her foot, stepped on his chest, and crushed it hard.

Huo Wei felt pain and looked up in surprise at the woman in front of him.

Although she is not very old, she somehow makes people feel a chill down their spine.

Xie Zhuoning lowered his eyes and looked at him with a chilling look in his eyes. "Master Huo Wei, do you know why your mother abandoned you and your son?"

"Oh, it's just that you despise the poor and love the rich, so you fall in love with someone else..."

"No, it's because your father is a beast, and you are a beast too!"

Huo Wei's head exploded with a bang.

Xie Zhuoning said coldly, "The file says that you fell down during the provincial examination and were covered in injuries. But you live in the city, so if you didn't fall down the hillside, how could you be covered in injuries? Those injuries were clearly caused by your father, right?"

"Shut up!" Huo Wei suddenly became fierce and spoke in a ferocious tone.

He had no reaction when he heard that he was going to be convicted, but the moment he heard these words, his hair stood on end like an enraged beast.

Xiao Jinxuan immediately blocked Xie Zhuoning behind him, then raised his hand and pressed the acupoints on Huo Wei's body.

Huo Wei suddenly stood still, unable to move, and could only stare at Xie Zhuoning with a ferocious and sinister look on his face.

Xie Zhuoning looked at him fearlessly, "When a family's children or grandchildren are about to take the provincial examination, the family would be so anxious that they would want to treat them as slaves, fearing that something might go wrong. They would even be careful about what they eat, fearing that the temperature would be too high or too low to make them sick. But your father beat you so badly at this time, which shows that when he gets angry, he doesn't care about the situation or the consequences at all."

"From this, we can infer that your mother didn't run away because she loved someone else, but because she couldn't stand the beatings from your father and ran away to save her life, right?"

The flesh on Huo Wei's face trembled slightly, and even his eye sockets turned red.

The emotions in his eyes were complicated, surging like waves.

Xie Zhuoning still refused to let him go and continued, "You told others that you worked hard to climb up the ladder in order to make your mother regret it, but is that really the case? Isn't it to escape your father's devilish control?"

"It's really strange. It was clearly your father's fault, but why was it your mother and thousands of innocent women who were ultimately convicted?"

"Why don't you seek revenge on the real culprit who murdered you?"

Xie Zhuoning approached him step by step, his eyes piercing, "Is it because you have been beaten and suppressed since childhood that you dare not really resist until now?"

At that moment, two lines of tears welled up in the corners of Huo Wei's eyes.

Those thoughts that had always clung to his heart were ruthlessly punctured like a bubble of fantasy.

The corners of his mouth trembled, as if his spine had been pulled out, and his whole body became listless in an instant.

Seeing this, Xie Zhuoning sneered, "Coward!"
