Chapter 23 Did You Do It?
Jinning slowly raised his head to look at him, "Don't know? That's really not good. I was thinking, you give Haitang's younger brother to me and I'll spare your life. It seems that this transaction cannot be done."
She stood up and forced her to the butler, who was so scared that the butler stumbled and took two steps back.
Jinning pulled out the dagger nailed to the edge of the bed, and the cold light flashed in front of the butler, and the smile on her face deepened, "I'll give you another chance, where is Haitang's younger brother?"
The housekeeper swallowed and couldn't help but feel scared when he thought of Zhang's tragic death.
But then he thought that he was different from Zhang's mother. He calmed down and said with a stern expression: "Miss Three, I am not a slave of the Duke's Mansion, nor did I sell it to the Duke's Mansion. If you kill me and kill someone to pay for your life, you can't escape."
Jinning smiled, "Murder for life, yes, just," she turned her eyes, "Who knows I killed you?"
Her dagger gently printed on the butler's cheeks. The cold touch made the butler calm and did not dare to move.
"You...if you kill me, neither the general nor the prince will let you go..." The butler's voice trembled slightly, but he still maintained his ridiculous majesty.
Jinning raised his hand and slashed the dagger across the butler's face. From his mouth to his ear, a hole was opened, and blood flowed.
The housekeeper screamed, and the sound was quickly drowned by the thunder outside. The concubine Liu ran out and had already found a place to hide. How could he care about his life or death?
Moreover, it was windy and rainy, and there was not even a servant in this room except for two maids.
This time, the butler really told the sky that he should not be heard.
Everyone says that the master Su Yi of Nanjian has a unique skill and skin it alive.
In fact, this is just a rumor outside. Master Su Yi’s best skills are not to peel off human skin alive, but to cut clouds.
The so-called cloud cutting piece means cutting off the flesh on your body piece by piece, almost no blood is produced, making people suffer without hurting people's lives.
I heard that Master Su Yi had tried it on a murderous bandit and cut off 1,08 pieces, but he was still alive.
Jinning had seen Master Su Yi use this unique skill with his own eyes. He used to think it was cruel, but after all, there was nothing that could not be killed with one knife.
However, she had to say that this trick was very useful when it came to force confession.
The housekeeper's arm was just a few pieces of meat, and he couldn't stand the pain and was moved.
“In my house…”
Jinning curled his lips and smiled, grabbed him, "Please lead the way by the butler!"
The housekeeper was dragged out, and the heavy rain poured on his wounds, making him rush to the sky and the earth.
Dragging all the way to the door of the woodshed, Jinning kicked open the door, and a flash of lightning struck down. Sure enough, a small figure was curled up next to the pile of woodshed!
But it was a flash of lightning, and Jinning had already seen the mottled scars on his little face.
Jinning was furious, and as soon as the dagger fell, he heard the butler screaming, and his two ears fell to the ground.
When the housekeeper's wife Yun came with two girls, Jinning had long disappeared.
"Please ask for a doctor and then order someone to go to the Duke's Mansion to find a cousin!" the housekeeper shouted furiously.
The storm was swaying, and the sky was as dark as the end of the world, and the wind was raging. Before June, such violent weather was shocked.
The heavy rain continued until the morning before it stopped the next morning.
The gate of the Lihuayuan was knocked open by a thunderstorm-like hammer door.
Qingying went to open the door and saw the Duke bringing in the housekeeper with two ears. Behind him, the angry Changsun family was also followed.
Jinning grew vegetables in the yard, and Qingying bought some rapeseeds and she could just sprinkle them in the yard and be self-sufficient.
She is a farmer who has returned from the village and should do her duty.
Seeing a group of popular people coming in, she slowly stood up with a hoe, raised a rebellious sneer and looked at Duke Chen, "Duke is here, I am disrespectful!"
Duke Chen couldn't hide the disappointment and fury in his eyes, "You have been so convinced that you have never changed. Last night, I went out to seek revenge. I was the one who beat you. If you have the ability, come to me!"
Jinning dragged his painful leg to him, "What did the Duke of China say? Please make it clear, but the Duke of China said that he has the ability to attack you, so I dare not. After all, you are my father in your name. Isn't it a crime to punish you? Isn't it a crime to be punished by heaven and earth? Isn't it possible to bear it, I can't bear it!"
The housekeeper shouted: "Miss Three, everything the villain does in the Duke's Mansion is ordered by the Duke and his wife. If there is a place where the third lady is offended, the villain will accuse you, or if you kill the villain, why bother to find the house and hurt the villain's family?"
Jin Ning raised his eyes and sneered, "Oh? The butler's family was injured? Could it be that the butler offended too many people and was seeking revenge? Why? He wants to blame me on the head?"
Changsun said angrily: "Jinning, the housekeeper is not a slave in the family. You are not qualified to treat him like this. If he goes to the yamen to sue you for a crime of hurting others, you will not be able to escape."
"Go, go, just go." Jin Ning looked at her calmly, "But, if your wife wants to sue me, she has to come up with evidence."
Changsun hummed, "Do you think there is no evidence? The housekeeper's wife and concubine have seen you, and they are all witnesses."
Jinning sneered, "Okay, then sue the Jingzhao Prefecture Office. I can also ask by the way. Captain Liang forced me into the carriage because his mother Zhang's family sued me for murder. He was so enchanted that I was sent to Langshan. What was going on?"
Duke Chen's face turned pale, "What are you talking about?"
Jinning slowly turned his gaze to his face and said sadly: "You must have investigated the matter of my elopement, asked Haitang, asked the city gate guard, asked the wife, asked the housekeeper, thought it was a fact, but I want to ask you, have you asked me?"
The Duke said coldly: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, where can you deny it? Just ask you, will you admit it?"
The anger on Jinning's face disappeared suddenly, as if he had calmed down suddenly, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes.
She said, "Okay!"
Duke Chen was stunned instead. He looked at Jin Ning. Although he was not a smart person in the officialdom, he could see countless people. He could see that she felt very wronged.
Could it be that she was really wronged?
No, the city gate guard saw it with his own eyes, and Haitang also admitted it. In addition, the wife said that she had known a scholar a long time ago, and the two of them were flirting with each other, and even Xiangyu had seen it secretly for a while to have a secret meeting...
How could it be wronged?
Seeing this, Changsun said sternly: "Don't talk about the topic. Do you have the courage to admit it if you have the courage to do it? It was obvious that you hurt the housekeeper last night. Jinning, if you admit it honestly, apologize and compensate the housekeeper, I will spare you once."
Duke Chen looked at her and asked in a deep voice: "Did you do it?"
Jinning stood alone opposite so many of them, looking weak, "You said yes."
"It's you?" Duke Chen couldn't hide his disappointment, "You are so... vicious!"
"Report to the official, report to the official!" Changsun shouted when he heard her admit it.
