Nie Zheng's sad face was like a mask falling off under Yun Xi's explanation, gradually revealing a familiar ferocious look... just like the terrifying look when he wanted to kill Yun Xi just now.

"An ant is still alive. The fourth victim struggled to escape before death. When you grabbed her hair and continued to show off your violence, did you have any respect for life in your heart? Have you ever thought of your mother's helplessness when she committed suicide?"

Yun Xi shook her head, "Any pain you feel is no excuse for you to kill innocent people."

Nie Zheng was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, roaring at Yun Xi: "Shut up! You don't deserve to talk about my mother!"

"You traitor, the person who is least worthy of mentioning your mother is you!" Mr. Nie covered his chest and said tremblingly: "How can you afford your mother's sacrifice?"

"She sacrificed her life for you, a heartless person like you. How could I think anything of it?!" Nie Zheng retorted, holding his neck.

"You still don't repent when you are about to die. You really wasted all your teachings from Master Nie!" Master Zong Yi, the inspector, finally couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at Nie Zheng and said angrily: "Is your head filled with mud?!"

The hatred in Yun Xi's eyes gradually turned into sympathy.

It turned out that Mr. Nie had never understood Mrs. Nie's painstaking efforts.

"What are you looking at? Why do you bitch look at me like that?! I don't need you to pity me!" Nie Zheng struggled to get up, but the Leng brothers grabbed his shoulders and held him down.

"If my guess is correct, Mr. Nie chose to reconcile with Li in order to save Mrs. Nie's life, and he was also afraid that his wife's conviction would affect your future career. But Mrs. Nie did not want to drag down the future of her husband and son, so she chose to reconcile with Li.

He committed suicide in Nie's house, which ended Lord Nie's desire to save others."

Lu Qingfan's words made the furious Nie Zheng freeze up.

"Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans." Yun Xi looked at Nie Zheng with more and more compassion: "You don't pity your mother's sacrifice, and you don't care about your father's teachings. How can you be worthy of being a human being?"

Mrs. Nie's mother's family was convicted, but she had been married for many years. Even if she was imprisoned, she would not be sentenced to death.

The world only knows Mrs. Nie as a fierce person, and Mr. Nie killed her relatives out of justice, but it did not touch her selfishness: protecting Mr. Nie's official reputation is to protect her son's bright future.

Nie Zheng looked at his father on the high platform in disbelief, and asked in a low voice with trembling lips: "Is what they said...is it true?"

Master Nie's eyes were moist and he nodded imperceptibly.

He never expected that this selfishness would be exposed to the public in such a tragic way.

How should a wife who is suffering from depression should rest in peace?

Nie Zheng, who had been shouting furiously just now, seemed to have had his backbone ripped out, and he knelt on the ground dejectedly.

"The love of a parent is as heavy as a mountain!"

"What does this have to do with my daughter? She is the daughter of one father and one mother. My daughter has done something wrong!"

"Kill him! Avenge my daughter!"

"My son Zhang Sheng is always innocent. It's not enough for you to kill people, and you almost killed him unjustly!"

…

Nie Zheng's behavior was so outrageous that even Zhang Sheng's parents gritted their teeth with hatred, and the people continued to curse him.

"I did it." Nie Zheng suddenly said, "But it's not because of love."

The noise of the people gradually calmed down. They still wanted to get the truth from Nie Zheng and hear a confession to soothe the soul of the man who died in vain.

Nie Zheng raised his voice and said: "Five years ago, the daughter of the general magistrate of Qingzhou said in public that my father's official position was unfair and that my mother was the daughter of a guilty minister. In anger, I deliberately approached her, and I became "pleased with her".

Rumors. It was a coincidence that the Niu Dazhuang case had just come out, and I imitated his crime in order to clean myself up. The details are exactly the same as what Yun Wuzuo said."

Nie Zheng turned to look at Yun Xi with admiration: "Yun Wu's ability in conducting autopsies is truly superb... Of the remaining four deceased, two of them were accidental encounters, and the other two looked exactly like the daughters of Tong Ju; their words and deeds were incomprehensible.

I offended my mother and killed them to vent my anger. As for Zhang Sheng..."

Nie Zheng smiled bitterly, "He has a sweetheart of low status, and he went out several times just to see her secretly. I knew that my father was eager to solve the case, so I deliberately induced the prosecutor to investigate Zhang Sheng. As I expected, Rao was sentenced to death.

, Zhang Sheng also doesn’t want to expose the existence of that woman.”

The only alibi was gone, Zhang Sheng could not explain anything, and had no choice but to die.

Zhang Sheng, who was being supported by his parents, turned pale instantly. He didn't expect that he had been targeted by Nie Zheng.

"So, Zhang Sheng is the scapegoat you have chosen a long time ago." Lu Qingfan suddenly asked in a deep voice: "The last four murders were committed at the same time as Zhang Sheng went out, right?"

Nie Zheng admitted generously: "Not bad."

"Master Nie is meticulous in his actions and has a delicate mind. If he can use his talents in the right way, he will become a pillar of the country! What a pity, what a pity!" Master Ren couldn't help but sigh.

Lowering his head, Nie Zheng showed some regret for the first time: "If I had known about mother's painstaking efforts, and if I could have talked things out with father earlier, maybe..."

Yun Xi sighed: "But there is no 'what if' in this world? Five living lives are not enough to wake you up?"

Nie Zheng kowtowed to the stage: "Nie is willing to die to pay for his crime!"

Lord Nie on the high platform seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden. He was hunched over. He looked at Nie Zheng and then stared at the token with the word "Zhou" on the prison platform. He hesitated to take action.

For a time, no one in the huge execution ground urged Lord Nie to execute him.

Lord Nie wants to behead his parents and children in the execution ground, and others feel heartbroken just thinking about it. If he is not beheaded today, it will be difficult for the people to complain.

After a long while, Mr. Nie finally slowly raised the token with the word "Zhou" with trembling hands.

Suddenly a strong big hand pressed Master Nie's wrist.

Master Nie, who was in a daze, raised his head and met the visitor's eyes.

It was Zong Yi, the envoy to the inspection.

Master Zong said in a deep voice: "I would also like to ask you to order me to be executed in prison."

Preventing the father from beheading the son was the last thing Zong Yi could do for the father and son.

Mr. Nie slowly stood up and said, "No, I will come in person."

After that, Master Nie took his last breath, threw the token on the ground, and said: "Behead!"

Zong Yi couldn't bear to look away, but Master Nie stared at his son's execution with wide eyes, unblinking.

Blood fell with the afterglow of the bright sun. Yun Xi watched Nie Zheng's head fall to the ground with a smile on his lips.

Nie Zheng personally handed the butcher knife to his father because he wanted to preserve his father's official reputation. His appearance vaguely overlapped with that of Mrs. Nie who decided to commit suicide.

It's a pity that the criminal who took the wrong path can never look back from the beginning.

"Long live my lord!"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

…

For a time, countless people inside and outside the execution ground prostrated themselves and shouted loudly, but these false reputations could not save their son's life.

Master Nie spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the execution platform.

"Master Nie!" Zong Yi quickly stepped forward to support the angry Master Nie.

Yun Xi's heart tightened, and she ran quickly to the execution platform, shouting a reminder: "Put Master Nie down quickly!"

As she spoke, she did not forget to wave to Qingguo behind her: "Needle bag!"

As Qingguo ran, he took out the needle bag from his bag and threw it over. Yun Xi caught it quickly and rushed to Lord Nie's side.

"Girl, do you know how to heal?" At this moment, Master Ren and his party who had arrived were nervously watching Master Nie who suddenly fainted.

If something happens to a third-grade official in Qingzhou, not to mention the capital city, even the governor who is still in Qingzhou will definitely consult the Chasi Bureau.

"Yes." Yun Xi spat out one word. She had already picked up the silver needle in her hand and pricked Master Nie's fingertips to bleed him.

Lu Qingfan immediately came to his aid and helped Yun Xi pinch Mr. Nie's fingertips to bleed.

Finally, Mr. Nie faintly woke up.

He stared blankly at the sky, his heart palpitating, and suddenly he cried loudly: "My son!"

Wails lingered around the execution ground, and countless people kowtowed again.

At this point, the major Qingzhou case that had lasted for five years was finally solved.

The next day, Yun Xi's master and servant left Qingzhou with Lu Qingfan's carriage.

On the carriage, Yun Xi subconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, her palms quietly sweating.

Finally I’m going to Beijing.

Whether the whole family of the Bai family can be vindicated or not, and the injustice of not recording the students from Jiangnan who entered the court for ten years is all her fault.

"Are you nervous?" Lu Qingfan said suddenly, Yun Xi couldn't even take back the panic in her eyes before he caught her.

Yes, the orphan of the Bai family lived in secret for several years, and now he is approaching the capital incognito to investigate the truth of an old case. It's hard not to be nervous, right?

"A bit." Yun Xi smiled ashamedly: "I have been in the Valley of Divine Doctors for ten years and have never traveled far."

"Miss Yun is witty and intelligent, and she is accurate in autopsy. She will definitely be a popular figure in the capital! If it weren't for your deception, I might not have been able to deceive the murderer Nie Zheng!"

Leng Hai's head came in from outside the car curtain, and gave a thumbs up with a smile: "The bone fracture picture is really amazing!"

Yun Xi waved her hand humbly: "It's not my fault, it's Mr. Lu who took the lead in identifying the suspect."

Yes, the "Bone Broken Picture" on the execution ground was a tactic, designed to deceive Nie Zheng into confessing his murderous act.

Yun Xi checked that the five corpses were genuine, and the clues on the corpses were also genuine, but the fractured bones and wounds caused by the murder weapons were irregular, making it difficult to identify the murderer.

She simply memorized the bone fracture diagram and drew it after Nie Zheng's test, defeating his self-described "perfect" plan. She then "murdered and punished" to reveal his cruel deeds and make Nie Zheng plead guilty.
