Chapter 350 Confession
Chapter 350 Confession
Weak excuses always have flaws, and the reasons given by Li Cunxi are more convincing to everyone.
Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin no longer wanted to live and he had confessed his guilt, but Li Cunxi did not give him any chance to argue.
Now Li Cunxi even refuses to plead guilty.
"I advise you to tell the truth as soon as possible. What happened that night? How did Magistrate Huang Wenyue die?"
"If you can tell the truth, I can still consider it, otherwise you will be killed without a burial place!"
Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin was lying on the ground, cursing Li Cunxi's mother a thousand times in his heart.
After using all the swear words he had learned in his life, Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin began to make up stories on the spot.
"Your Majesty, Li Shaoyin, please allow me to tell you a few things."
"What happened that day was exactly as I said. There was nothing else..."
Li Cunxi interrupted Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin and said angrily:
"You, the bandit, do you know that there is no place for rebels under heaven?"
"You are still denying it even now. How can I say this without any real evidence?"
"I'll tell you, if you, the bastard, didn't have help that night, how could you have killed County Magistrate Huang Wenyue?"
"Tell the truth immediately and tell me who your accomplice is. Otherwise, I will make you understand that there is no place under heaven for a traitor like you!"
Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin took a deep breath and understood what Li Cunxi was going to do.
It was obvious that the other party wanted him to give out an accomplice.
As for who the accomplice who was exposed is, it depends on his own choice.
After some ideological struggle in his mind, Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin lowered his head and chose to play dead.
Li Cunxi sneered and said to the side:
"This traitor is still pretending to be dead. Someone, drag him away and give him thirty spankings!"
Two yamen runners came over and dragged Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin away.
Xue Qinglin, the Marquis of Pingnan, who was being dragged, was in a state of panic. He opened his eyes and said quickly:
"Recruit, I recruit, I recruit all of them!"
"There was indeed someone who helped me to kill Huang Wenyue that night. That person was none other than Feng Wanchun, the chief officer of Jiangzhou!"
Li Cunxi got the answer he wanted at once, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"You said this person is Jiangzhou Chief Clerk Feng Wanchun? Then tell me, how did you kill County Magistrate Huang Wenyue that night?"
How was he killed?
Of course I made one up for you.
Xue Qinglin, Marquis of Pingnan, is a smart idiot. It is not the first time that he has betrayed his brothers and framed others.
It was just a matter of making up a story, which was really easy for him.
When he was dragged back by two yamen runners and thrown to the ground, he had a set of excuses in his mind.
"Reporting to Li Shaoyin, I confess everything about the murder of County Magistrate Huang Wenyue that day."
"The thing is, I went to see Huang Wenyue, but the conversation with him didn't go well. Just then, Jiangzhou Chief Clerk Feng Wanchun came over, and we hit it off. We chopped off Huang Wenyue's head in the corridor."
"That day, the waiter was knocked unconscious by Jiangzhou Chief Clerk Feng Wanchun. Afterwards, he returned to Xunyang County overnight. I don't know what's going on with him now."
Li Cunxi and Lin Yongzhong looked at each other and nodded.
This is the result they want.
Now the only one who has not been caught is Feng Wanchun. A clever plan would be to let Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin frame Feng Wanchun through the Huang Wenyue incident.
"Li Shaoyin, Lin County Magistrate, I have confessed everything. I hope you will show mercy and let me die peacefully."
Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin looked at Li Cunxi with difficulty, hoping that he could die more quickly.
However, he soon noticed the teasing smile on Li Cunxi's face.
"Why are you in such a hurry? We haven't finished recruiting yet."
"Who killed all the people in the Huang Mansion?"
Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin gritted his teeth and fabricated:
"It was the assassins in my house who killed him at night in order to make Huang Wenyue join us."
Li Cunxi was even more satisfied and returned to his seat.
Lin Yongzhong ordered his lawyer to write the charges and asked Xue Qinglin, Marquis of Pingnan, to put his fingerprints on them before he put Xue Qinglin, Marquis of Pingnan, back in jail.
The people who were watching the trial still seemed a little unsatisfied, but the case was now closed, with only the final battle left.
Lin Yongzhong took the county magistrate and the county lieutenant to see the people off, and when he came back he still had a smile of victory on his face.
"Cunxi, we can set out now to wipe out the Pingnan Marquis Mansion. Kill him and his head will roll!"
Li Cunxi nodded and shouted to the back hall: "Brother Jinghui, please use the imperial sword to cut the horse!"
Hu Jinghui walked into the back hall and came out with Lu Dayou after a while, holding the Shangfang Zhanma Sword given by Wu Zetian in his arms.
Li Cunxi came to Lin Yongzhong's seat, sat down with his arms and legs crossed, and looked around at the few people who could be used.
"The Inner Guard Palace leads the demon spirit!"
"The general is here!"
"I order you to lead all the inner guards under your command to immediately surround the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion. No mistakes!"
"The last general takes command!"
The evil spirit clasped his fists, left the main hall with his shadow, called up the inner guards of the Inner Guard Palace, left the county government office, and headed towards the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
"Censor Lu Dayou!" Li Cunxi turned to Lu Dayou.
Lu Dayou stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "I'm here!"
"I order you to immediately take my official seal and go to the military camp twenty miles west of the city, bring the guards assigned to me by His Majesty to Wuping County, and display them outside the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion!"
"Yes!"
Li Cunxi had long been accustomed to carrying his official seal with him, and now was the perfect time to take it out and hand it to Lu Dayou.
Holding Li Cunxi's official seal, Lu Dayou immediately left the county government office, mounted a fast horse, and went to the military camp through the west gate.
Li Cunxi looked at the rest of the people, carefully recalled the remaining arrangements, and after finding that there were no omissions, he looked towards Lin Yongzhong.
"Cunxi, what do you need me to do?" Lin Yongzhong asked eagerly.
"Call the constables and runners, and after a short rest, follow me to the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion. Today is the day to destroy the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Seeing that everyone had a task, Kui Wenzhong and Hu Jinghui stood aside like minions.
Ma Rong, Qiao Tai and Chen Yiqu thought that there was probably nothing left for the three of them, and felt very sorry.
After seeing everyone off, Li Cunxi turned around and said, "We are going to Xunyang County tonight to do something else. Some of us have to go with me."
Kui Wenzhong's back straightened immediately, and the unique ferocity of a killer lingered in his eyes.
Hu Jinghui also became interested and pointed at the Youlan sword on Li Cunxi's waist.
"If it's about killing someone, can I use this?"
"Of course, if we kill someone. Besides, Uncle Lin's hammer can also be used by you."
Lin Yongzhong, who had just given orders to the bailiffs and constables, returned alone and happened to hear Li Cunxi talking.
He hurried over and asked seriously, "Which hero wants to use the Phoenix Wing Gilded Boring and Meteor Hammer?"
Hu Jinghui laughed dryly and waved his hands repeatedly: "Lin County Magistrate is too polite. No ordinary person can lift that thing."
