Huh?

Xu looked at Lin Xu's dirty clothes that were actually referring to Chen Xiaoxiao, but he couldn't help but be stunned. He turned his head in surprise and looked at Lin Xu's in the hall.

How could this dirty set of clothes be evidence? Could it be that this imperial envoy has delusions?

Lin Qingran ignored everyone's surprised gaze, but said eroticly: "I first saw the stains on the clothes, and I thought Chen Xiaoxiao had dirty clothes outside. But as I investigated in depth, I found that Chen Xiaoxiao's clothes were stained with sap moss, and this kind of sap moss grew in the lotus pond in a small lotus pond!" As he said that, he looked at the madam and said: "Madam, you claim that Chen Xiaoxiao has been staying in the room and never went out. How do you let me trust you?"

He Dongxu was the presiding officer in charge of the case before. When he heard Lin Shiran's testimony, he couldn't help but feel stunned.

"Sir, Chen Xiaoxiao may have been to the Lotus Pond during the day, and this is why she got her clothes stained!" The madam was very surprised, but gritted her teeth and said in her previous testimony.

Lin Qingran looked at her and wanted to argue, so he asked in a deep voice: "Not whether Chen Xiaoxiao had fallen into the lotus pond in the daytime, do you think Chen Xiaoxiao would wait until the evening to change clothes and wash her body after falling into the water?"

this……

Xu Yu and others turned their heads and looked at the madam. The madam's reason was too pale. Not to mention the brothel women who love cleanliness, even if they fell into water, they would not drag them until night to change for no reason.

Sweat beads rose on the madam's forehead, but she had received too many officials and tried hard to calm herself down.

Lin Qingran picked up a booklet from the case and threw it heavily into the hall and said, "After I have this suspicion, I will verify it. After I sent people to inquire from many sources, a brothel woman confirmed on the night of the incident that Chen Xiaoxiao did not stay in the room, but went to Hetang Xiaozhu to entertain guests in the evening. Have you not admitted to doing perjury yet?"

Dirty clothes were just a suspicious point of the day. After Lin Weiran followed the clues, they became an extremely critical clue, and then revealed some of the truth.

He Dongxu's forehead veins rose, and he glared at the madam with hatred.

On the first day of Lin Xuran's arrival, he went to Mingchunlou in person to instruct the madam to hold on to the testimony, but he did not expect that the madam not only made a fake confession, but was also so easily seen by Lin Xuran.

"Sir, the private woman..." The madam never expected that Lin Xuran had already found this step, and she suddenly lost all her might and wanted to continue to defend herself, but she wanted to stop talking when she spoke.

Lin Xuran looked at her before she could admit it, so she lowered her face and said sternly: "I have said something just now. If I don't answer the truth, don't blame me for punishing you! People come!"

"I'll do it! I'll do it!" The madam knew that she could no longer cover it up, so she confessed: "The civilian woman did lie just now, and Mr. Xu was right. Chen Xiaoxiao did arrive at the Lotus Pond that night!"

Why!

When Xu Yu and others heard the answer, they sighed softly in their hearts.

She has always claimed that Chen Xiaoxiao closed her door and refused to leave due to menstruation. That night, Chen Xiaoxiao visited Xiaozhu, the lotus pond, which made all her testimony unreliable, and even she had a great connection with this case.

"Mr. I'll prove that Chen Xiaoxiao has arrived at the small building of the lotus pond, but what does this have to do with the case? Zhang Wujin, no, the fact that Liu Hui killed Chen Xiaoxiao is as proof as a mountain. Please don't waste your verbal talk in such irrelevant trivial matters!" He Dongxu did not want the situation to worsen and immediately stood up and expressed his opinion.

After listening to He Dongxu's words, Xu Yu and others also looked at Lin Weiran in the hall, wanting to see how he would treat He Dongxu's doubts.

Lin Xuran looked at He Dongxu as if he had seen a cat and dog. He had no intention of responding at all. Instead, he looked at the madam and asked word by word: "So how did Chen Xiaoxiao go upstairs? Or, how did you transport her body upstairs?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was quiet!

Everyone just thought that this incident proved that the madam was lying, but they never expected that this incident contained such a explosive inside story. Chen Xiaoxiao did not die in the room, but in the Lotus Pond.

He Dongxu was about to attack Lin Shiran's contempt, but when he heard Lin Shiran's "soul question", he was completely stunned and his head was even buzzing.

"The imperial envoy made a clear explanation. Chen Xiaoxiao walked back by himself!" The madam was also panicked, but after all, she had seen the world, but she answered calmly.

Lin Xuran didn't expect that she wanted to argue, so he immediately questioned: "Who saw it? Did you see it or did Gong Gui see it? This imperial envoy asked for an inspection a few days ago, but no one saw Chen Xiaoxiao going downstairs in the entire Mingchun Building, and no one saw her going upstairs. You are now telling this imperial envoy: Chen Xiaoxiao went upstairs at the most lively time of Mingchun Building, but no one saw it?"

this……

Everyone present shook their heads slightly, despising the madam while still making excuses, they couldn't help but admit that Lin Qingran's cleverness in deciding the case. An extremely complicated case, under his decoupling, the truth is gradually emerging.

It was already a consensus that Chen Xiaoxiao did not appear on the upper floor of Mingchun Tower that night. Since everyone said that they had not seen her go downstairs, it was naturally impossible to see her go upstairs, so Chen Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't walk back.

"Come, a great punishment!"

Lin Qingran was no longer polite, and then slapped the arbor and ordered sternly.

Four wolf-like yamen officers immediately left the list. Two of them stepped forward to suppress the madam. The two followed him up and raised the board in their hands to make a big torture on the madam.

Although the onlookers have always been disgusted with the officials' torture, they are happy to see her suffer a great punishment as she watches the madam repeatedly argue.

"I'll call! I'll call! The private woman was wronged!" The madam knew that she could no longer defend her, so she honestly revealed the truth: "When I arrived at the small lotus pond, Xiaoxiao had already drowned! I asked someone to put a box and transport it to her body, then pretended that she drowned in a bucket, and then... she blamed Zhang Wujin again!"

This is really a false case!

When the people and scholars in the hall heard the madam admit the facts, they looked at Lin Weiran, who was sitting upright in the hall with admiration.
