Chapter 134 Xu Maochun's Desperate Counterattack
Xu Maochun said, "Because he was injured and lost his memory, I was the one who did it. I was worried that after he returned to the capital, he would remember what happened and take revenge on me, so I wanted to take the initiative and get rid of him before he could regain his memory!"
The Left Censor-in-Chief glanced at him and said calmly, "Your explanation is somewhat untenable. If you were simply worried that Xie Xiu would retaliate against you after regaining his memory, why did you choose to attack him when he was entering the capital with his family? And why did you kill two women with the intention of framing them?
Wouldn't it be better to just find an opportunity and kill Xie Xiu alone? This would not only keep the secret, but also avoid causing too much of a sensation and would be easier to do.
Moreover, eleven years ago, Xie Xiu was sixteen and you were only fourteen. What deep hatred did you have between you that made you want to kill him at such a young age?"
Xu Maochun suddenly looked at Xie Xiu with a twisted and ferocious smile: "Because I hate him! The fan I had my eye on back then actually fell for Xie Xiu!
I worked hard to save money to support her, but she told me that if I could have a night with Xie Xiu, she would be willing to give him money!
Xie Xiu has never done anything for that bitch, but that bitch still can't forget him. How can I not hate him?
At that time, I wanted to destroy Xie Xiu's face, and then let the fan leader see his ruined appearance with her own eyes, and see if she would still like Xie Xiu!
Unfortunately, I was too young at the time and was not ruthless enough. Not only did I fail to destroy Xie Xiu's appearance, but I also let him see my face.
In a panic, I kicked him into the fast-flowing river, causing him to be swept away. I then searched along the river, hoping to find his body.
Although I couldn't find him, the river was fast-flowing and there were many undercurrents, so I thought it was impossible for him to survive.
Who would have known that he was so lucky that not only did he survive, but he also married and had children in Biyang County and lived a very happy life!
Now that I know this news, how can I let him continue to have an easy life?
Not only do I want him to die, I also want him to watch his family being tortured to death by bandits. Even after his death, I want him to bear the infamy and be despised by the world!"
The more Xu Maochun spoke, the crazier he became, like a perverted lunatic.
Xie Ying, who was standing behind the screen, rolled her eyes as she listened: "Nonsense! Eleven years ago, you were still a servant in the Chen family. How could you kill someone just for a fangirl?"
He is really good at talking nonsense. In order to conceal the incident for Chen Fang, he even took the blame for what happened eleven years ago. He is not afraid of being abandoned after using it.
If you really hate my father's family, why don't you kill Xie Yun? As long as he dies, my father will have to mourn and won't be able to take the imperial examination this year. Why don't you kill him?
Xie Ying glared at Xu Maochun in dissatisfaction across the screen, and then an idea came to her mind. A transparent thread sank into the ground, and then Brother Cong extended it all the way to Xu Maochun's position and secretly hit him.
Because when the filament pierced Xu Maochun's calf, the released venom paralyzed Xu Maochun's wound, so he didn't notice anything.
Xie Ying watched expectantly.
She didn't realize that when she was using Xiangxiang to shoot out the thin threads, Situ Yuan behind her covered her up without leaving a trace.
Just after she finished everything, Situ Yuan suddenly asked the question that Xie Ying had just complained about: "Since you hate Xie Xiu, why don't you kill his parents so that he can't take part in this year's imperial examination?"
He is young, his voice is crisp, and he still has a childish innocence.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell into a strange silence.
Even the three ministers in charge of the interrogation and the commander of the Black Unicorn Guard who was listening in could not help but look in his direction.
It would be inappropriate for anyone to ask such vicious words.
But the person who asked this question was a five-year-old child.
What bad intentions could a little kid have?
Children speak without restraint.
Xu Maochun glanced in the direction of the screen and did not answer.
The other party was just a child, not the three ministers in charge of the case, so he didn't need to answer the other party's questions.
However, just as he remained silent, the commander of the Black Qilin Guards asked, "I also want to know why you only wanted to kill Xie Xiu's parents-in-law but not his own parents."
Although the commander of the Black Kylin Guard was not responsible for the trial, he was just an observer.
But since he opened his mouth, Xu Maochun had no choice but to respond.
His mind raced, and he inexplicably had the urge to tell the truth, but he suppressed it with reason.
He took a deep breath and said coldly, "When those bandits failed to ambush me, I did think about returning to Beijing to kill Xie Xiu's parents.
Unfortunately, I was wounded by an arrow at that time, and when I was about to leave Biyang County after killing Sun Qingqing, I was caught red-handed.
Naturally, subsequent plans cannot be implemented.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xiu said with a cold face: "I didn't expect you to be so cruel! Not only do you want to kill me, you even want to kill my father and stepmother!"
After saying this, he bowed to the Minister of Justice and asked, "Please, sir, please enlighten me. I wonder how someone like him, who intended to murder an official but hadn't yet done so, should be sentenced?"
The Minister of Justice stroked his beard in embarrassment: "Although he intended to murder, he didn't have time to assassinate Xie Xueshi, so this can only be judged as attempted murder.
However, this man colluded with bandits, murdered the family of an official, and killed two women from two families. He deserves the death penalty, beheading and hanging in public!"
Xie Xiu then bowed again and said humbly, "I see. I am grateful for your guidance."
The Minister of Justice looked at Xu Maochun again and asked coldly, "Xu Maochun, do you have anything else to say? If not, your crime will only lead to death!"
Xu Maochun immediately said, "In reply to your Excellency, I have something important to report. I hope my merits can atone for my sins!"
The Minister of Justice raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What's your business? Considering your crimes, ordinary merits won't save you from death. You'd better think it over before you speak."
"I understand!" Xu Maochun said quickly, "I have discovered a hideout where spies from the enemy country are lurking, and they seem to be vaguely involved with the palace."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically!
The commander of the Black Kirin Guard, who was sitting by and listening, was the first to react. He actually rushed forward and held Xu Maochun down, saying to the others, "This man is a wanted criminal and must be strictly interrogated!"
The three ministers nodded in unison, then announced the end of today's three-court trial and ordered people to clear the area.
Even the eldest princess was asked to leave.
Xie Ying was held in the arms of the eldest princess, and she felt quite unhappy.
I could only leave a seed as a bug, intending to listen to what Xu Maochun would say next.
Of course she guessed that this person would not be willing to die, but she did not expect that this person actually hid such a secret!
Not to mention the enemy country’s spies, they even involved the palace.
This is definitely a big case!
Compared with such a major case, Xu Maochun's collusion with bandits to kill their family was simply insignificant.
I just don’t know what kind of bloody storm will be set off next, and whether my uncle will be implicated.
This kind of case involving the enemy country and the palace can easily lead to random accusations and the unjust deaths of many people!
Also, the poison she gave Xu Maochun seemed to be unable to control him, causing him to reveal his true nature.
Obviously, this person is very strong inside, treacherous, vicious and scheming.
She must be extremely careful!
