BXBX NOVEL Chapter 309 - 309: Confession
A girl touched her new clothes and said uneasily, “Uncle, my clothes are not dry yet. What will we do about these clothes of yours?”
Ruyi smiled and waved his hand. “They’re yours. These clothes were given to you by Lord.”
The children laughed happily when they heard that. “Ah! That’s great. I’m going back in my new clothes to show my mother.”
Looking at these happy children, Old Madam Liu returned to the kitchen to pack some pancakes and handed them to Ruyi. “These pancakes can be stored.
Bring them to Team Leader Liu for these children to eat on the way.”
“Thank you, Granny. Thank you, Aunt.” After the children bowed to Old Madam Liu and Aunt Zhang, they happily followed Ruyi to the outer courtyard. Ruyi handed the pancakes and children to Liu Yi and waved her hand to send the children away.
After sending Liu Yi off, Ruyi returned to the escort room. Zhou Jia told Ruyi the results of the interrogation of Mu Sanniang and said to him, “Ruyi, go back to the manor and tell Madam what you found out in the city. Let her interrogate Boss Su and see if she will give Wang Zheng away.”
Ruyi walked to Zhou Jia’s side and said in a low voice, “Master, I might as well go all out tonight on that Wang fellow. Let’s see what else he can do.”
Zhou Jia patted him. “Idiot! If you do these things in the dark, you’ll only be exposed. You have to use evidence to arrest Wang Zheng openly and make those Wang family relatives have nothing to say.”
Ruyi understood after Zhou Jia said that. He lowered his head and said, “Master, I was thinking too simply.” Zhou Jia patted him and smiled. “Alright, go back quickly!”
In the manor, after Ji Xiang woke up, he realized that his stomach no longer hurt. He turned around and saw Yangyang sleeping soundly beside him. He touched his little face and went out. When he saw Gu Yu waiting at the door, he smiled and said, “Gu Yu, why are you guarding here so early in the morning? Don’t tell me you’re here to see me?
Gu Yu rolled her eyes at his energetic appearance after sleeping for a night. “You’re as strong as a cow. What’s there to see? I’m waiting for Young Master to wake up.”
Ji Xiang scratched his head. “Oh! Go in! Young Master is still asleep!” With that, he walked towards the outer courtyard.
Gu Yu stopped him and said, “Where are you going? Old Master prescribed medicine for you to drink. Remember to drink it.”
Ji Xiang turned around and waved with a smile. ‘Got it. I’ll go outside the wall and see where that thief came in from last night.”
After dinner, Mr. Wen said to Li Yu, “Xiaoyu, we have many children and a pregnant woman at home. It’s better to believe in something than not. We have to invite a priest back to do a ritual.”
When Li Yu heard this, she thought to herself that there were all kinds of strange things in the world. Even her soul could come to this world from the future. It seems that the spirit soul really exists.
“Alright, I’ll get Old Madam Yun to find a nearby Taoist temple and invite a priest back.”
Mr. Wen smiled and said, “There’s no need to go to the Taoist temple. When I was treating the villagers in the neighboring village, I met a Taoist priest who came out to travel. He looks capable. I’ll invite him over.”
“Alright! I’ll get Ma Gui to accompany you to invite that priest back.”
“That’s good. You have an injury on your hand. It’s best to be wary of spicy things for the next two days.”
Seven Pounds and Yangyang came in from outside. When they saw that Mr. Wen was about to leave, the two of them went over. They each held a hand of his and said, “Grandmaster, we’ll accompany you to the doctor.”
nodded. “Alright, bring Ah Wei along.”
Seeing the two children skip away with Mr. Wen, Li Yu went to the study to get a pen and paper and walked towards the cellar. When she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she met Ji Xiang, who had returned with a grappling hook. She handed the pen and paper to Ji Xiang and said to him, “Follow me to the cellar.”
“Madam, look, that assailant left this on the wall.” Ji Xiang handed the grappling hook to Li Yu and took the pen and paper.
Li Yu fiddled with it. “This thing is quite exquisite.”
As they spoke, they arrived at the entrance of the cellar. Ji Xiang opened the cellar door and lit the torch at the entrance. Su Xianyin sat on the ground with her back against the wall and coldly sized up Li Yu, who had walked into the cellar. She felt that she was about 20 years old. Her skin was still fair and translucent without makeup, and she was still charming in a half-worn dress.
Li Yu walked to her side with the dagger and bent down to take out the rag that was stuck in her mouth. Su Xianyin looked at Li Yu and sneered. “I won’t tell you. Don’t waste your breath.”
Li Yu squatted down and gently drew the knife across her face. Her cold voice was filled with coldness as she threatened, “Let me ask you once. If you don’t tell me, I’ll cut your left cheek. If I ask you a second time, and you won’t tell me, it will be your right cheek and so on. Let’s see how many cuts your face can take.”
Su Xianyin looked at Li Yu’s cold gaze and felt the cold blade pressed against her face. She was so frightened that her entire body stiffened and she didn’t dare to move. She asked in a low voice, “Madam, aren’t you afraid that the magistrate will be afraid of you if he finds out?”
“You should worry about yourself!” Li Yu narrowed her eyes at her and raised a finger. “Tell me, what’s your name? Where did you come from? Did Wang Zheng send you? Why did he ask you to kidnap me?”
Su Xianyin cherished her beautiful face the most. She looked at Li Yu and cursed fiercely, “You vicious woman, I’m going to kill you…”
Li Yu patted her fair face and said sinisterly, “It’s useless to say harsh words.
Tsk tsk, what a pity for such a beautiful face.” Li Yu swung her knife at Su
Xianyin’s left cheek. Su Xianyin shouted, “Don’t… Don’t. I’ll talk, I’ll talk.” Li Yu stopped. “You better tell me the truth. Don’t think about fooling me.”
“I don’t dare to fool you.” After Su Xianyin begged for mercy, she didn’t hide it anymore. “My name is Su Xianyin from the Qingzhou Prefecture… Just as Madam thought, Master Wang spent more than 10,000 taels of silver to hire me to kidnap you…” Su Xianyin finished speaking in one breath and begged Li Yu, “Madam, my skills are inferior to yours. I only beg you to give me a quick death. ”
“Don’t worry, since you’ve told me the truth, I won’t torture you anymore.”
After saying that, Li Yu turned to Ji Xiang and said, “Let her sign it.”
“Yes, Madam.” Ji Xiang walked up to Su Xianyin and asked her to press her handprint on the confession. Ignoring Su Xianyin’s pleading gaze, he covered her mouth again.
Li Yu held the confession in her hand and thought about how Zhou Jia had gone to the theater to check. Now that she had evidence that Wang Zheng had sent someone to the manor to kidnap her, she could go to the Wang family to capture him and see how he would quibble.
Li Yu brought Ji Xiang out of the cellar. Ji Xiang said to Li Yu, “Madam, I’ll send the confession to Master now.”
Li Yu looked at Ji Xiang and shook her head. “You have not recovered yet. It’s not too late to wait for Ruyi to come back and get it. Besides, we have to send
Su Xianyin to the government office.”
Ji Xiang said, “You’re right. We should teach the children to be wary so that
