Shen Qingyun waited uneasily in the Duke's Mansion for a long time, and finally received news about Si Moli.

But it was already night, so early the next morning, they made an appointment at Tingfeng Pavilion.

"Mo Li, has Xiao Liu been imprisoned?" Shen Qingyun looked at him with concern: "Is the Emperor giving you any trouble?"

Si Moli smiled softly, ordered refreshments for Shen Qingyun, and then said: "Don't worry, if I expose his true identity, he won't be able to make any trouble at all. Those past cases, He also admitted everything and may be involved in other murder cases. I have sent people from Dali Temple to investigate."

Seeing Shen Qingyun's surprised look, he briefly talked about Xiao Liu's experience.

After listening, Shen Qingyun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Perhaps he was once a pitiful person, but all the misfortunes were not the reason for him to commit evil deeds. What's more, his mind has been twisted and overly sensitive. Although he described himself It's very pitiful, but it's really heartbreaking to commit so many murders."

Si Moli calmly poured her a cup of hot tea: "So you don't have to worry about what he said."

Shen Qingyun was stunned: "You mean?"

Si Moli nodded: "I've already asked. He said that at that time, whenever he saw a home with children who could talk to him, he would pretend to be Wuchen and go up to give orders. He said no matter what. He has done too many evil things, and as for Shen Zhifeng, he doesn't remember him at all."

Hearing this, Shen Qingyun's heart did feel a little lighter.

After all, the matter of approving orders is about metaphysics. Even if she doesn't believe it herself, if bad rumors spread, it will always cause trouble.

But immediately, she still had some confusion: "In that case, why did he appear near the Duke's Mansion before and then rescue Jiang Lin?"

The intuition in her heart told her that this Xiaoliu seemed to be particularly malicious towards her.

Si Moli looked indifferent: "It's probably just a coincidence. People like him do many things that we ordinary people can't understand. Those dark thoughts sometimes have no reason."

"That's it." Shen Qingyun sighed, not wanting to think about this person any more.

Wasting your energy on such a person will only consume your hopes and expectations for life.

Si Moli saw her relaxed expression and was no longer troubled by Xiao Liu's previous words. His eyes paused, his heart relaxed, and he lowered his head to drink tea.

In his opinion, saying anything would only increase his troubles, and he did not believe a single word of this person. Just so, any words that were not conducive to Shen Qingyun would be killed by him.

Because it is quite a long time ago, many people from that time are no longer around, and the region spans a large area, so it will be relatively troublesome to obtain evidence.

However, there were witnesses to accuse him, the bones of Wu Chen and others were exhumed, and he himself confessed to the murder he had committed, so the whole process went relatively smoothly.

People from Dali Temple also re-investigated and found Xiaoliu's parents based on the information they had previously obtained.

When his parents heard about these things, they scolded Xiao Liu for being a lunatic!

It turned out that before Xiaoliu left home, he killed his younger brother out of jealousy and resentment. Over the years, the couple had not been able to conceive another child, and because of lingering fears, they gave up. Later, they left again. The village was born together with another village.

The man said to the official: "Execute him earlier, he is a ghost who came to collect debts! Hey, the thing I regret most is that I should have listened to them and strangled this ominous child to death earlier! Mr. Official,

You should execute him as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a disaster if you keep him alive."

The woman couldn't stop crying when she talked about it: "How could I have given birth to such a bad thing like him!"

Seeing this scene, the official could only sigh, record everything the two said, and return to Kyoto with the evidence.

A month or two passed in a blink of an eye, the weather was getting colder, and Xiao Liu was sentenced.

He was sentenced to Lingchi.

At the moment when he was put on the execution ground, Xiao Liu, who seemed to have lost all hope, suddenly began to resist. His face was filled with tears, and his eyes were full of panic. Because his voice was hoarse due to the poison, he could only scream and scream, and his hands kept shaking.

He was gesticulating something, but he could only struggle in vain because he was wearing shackles.

"Be honest! Don't move. Do you think you can still run away?" The official behind him kicked him hard, and his thin body suddenly fell to the ground.

He did not have an easy time in prison.

But at this moment, perhaps he truly realized that he was going to die soon, and that he would be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts and die in pain.

He suddenly became afraid.

He once stood in front of those people dripping with blood, stood outside the house with flames blazing into the sky, and watched those people's lives passing by little by little, and he only felt happy in his heart.

Now, it was his turn, and he truly felt the fear of death. He didn't want to die.

But there is no turning back.

After that, there was no such person in the world.

Shen Qingyun knew that Xiao Liu was executed by Ling Chi, so he just nodded indifferently, not having anything to express with emotion. It was only worth a life, and he had been living comfortably for so many years, so it was still an advantage for him.

Pearl shook her body and murmured: "Lingchi's punishment is really scary just thinking about it. I always feel like there is a dark wind behind me."

Yi Cui smiled helplessly and closed the window behind her: "The weather is getting cold, but the cold wind is not blowing."

Pearl stuck out her tongue and sighed: "Time flies so fast. Why is it that winter is coming again in a blink of an eye? It feels like I haven't done anything this year."

Shen Qingyun smiled as she watched the two maids bickering back and forth, and also looked out the window.

Unconsciously, all the trees in the yard were reduced to dry trunks and all the leaves had fallen off.

She frowned slightly and became a little worried. It was already bitterly cold in the border area, and she didn't know whether her mother would be able to adapt to it.

"Have you prepared those thick clothes, bedding, and food? Send them over as soon as possible." After calling Han Qing, Shen Qingyun warned.

Han Qing nodded: "Don't worry, Miss, we have sent a special escort and have already set off to the border."

Shen Qingyun took out some silver, including Hanshuang, Hanqing, pearls, and Yicui. He and the other maids in Jianjia Court also gave some silver: "The weather is getting colder, so you should go and buy some.

Clothes and some snacks.”

Jianjiayuan was beaming with joy for a while, everyone smiled and thanked Miss for the reward.
