Chapter 5 Tragic Ending(2/2)
It was unexpected to be involved in the old affairs of the Nie family.
Before that, Lu Qingfan had secretly found Zhang Sheng's sweetheart, and her neighbors all provided evidence of alibi for Zhang Sheng.
Later, based on the clues collected from various places in the Inspectorate, Lu Qingfan began to suspect Nie Zheng. However, Nie Zheng was meticulous in his actions, and Mr. Nie was responsible for supervising executions for Shangfeng, so it was very difficult to bring Nie Zheng to trial.
As a last resort, the move of "exposing the perpetrators in the legal field" was adopted.
"The woman Zhang Sheng likes is from a wealthy family." Lu Qingfan explained in a low voice.
Officials of this dynasty are not allowed to engage in prostitution. If Zhang Shengruo pleads guilty to the death penalty, he alone will be punished. If the woman is involved, he and his family will also be punished.
For the sake of his family and his sweetheart, Zhang Sheng had no choice but to bite his tongue when he was wronged.
This is also Nie Zheng's most sinister plan.
Yun Xi was surprised: "No wonder Mr. Zhang would rather die than tell the truth. He is so persistent."
"He is not the only one who is persistent?" Lu Qingfan looked at Yun Xi with an unclear expression.

Qingguo didn't feel any pain at all, and leaned on Yun Xi's shoulder again, muttering: "Miss, Qingguo is so sleepy."
Yun Xi patted Qing Guo's little head comfortingly, and looked back to see Lu Qingfan's eyes were as bright as ink, as if the obscurity just now was just her illusion.
Halfway through the journey, everyone was a little tired. They happened to see a small tea shop on the roadside. Leng Hai excitedly suggested: "Master, let's take a rest!"
Lu Qingfan turned his head and glanced at Yun Xi, and saw that her clear eyes could not hide the tiredness. She paused, waved her hand and said, "Take a rest for an hour."
Leng Hai answered "yes" loudly, then opened the tea shop door curtain, and the strong smell of blood instantly poured out...
