NOVEL NEXT Chapter 353 Murder and Silence
No matter what, he could only kneel down and say: "Your Majesty, don't listen to their nonsense, I didn't do anything!"
Ye Qingran frowned and asked: "Zhao Zhiming? When I brought you to the north, you were still of some use. I didn't expect that you would do such a thing before I could ask you for questions!"
She knew very well who Zhao Zhiming was, so she preconceived that what Tian Wenwen said was true.
After all, Zhao Zhiming has done a lot of beastly things in the past. Although he has not yet reached the point of killing people, he is not a good person in essence. In addition, Tian Wenwen said that he and the prince are good brothers, so she also guessed it. .
In such a cold weather, Zhao Zhiming was still sweating on his forehead and his lips were trembling with nervousness.
He had previously threatened Tian Wenwen's family because he was worried that they would tell the truth. They had been quite peaceful in the past few days and had not even held a funeral. He thought they would continue to be peaceful, but he did not expect that they would come at such a time. Report him.
The villagers are all here at this time, as are Chu Qingyun and Ye Qingran's family. As long as they tell the story, everyone will know.
"I don't, Miss Ye, I don't dare!"
Zhao Zhiming gritted his teeth and looked at Tian Wenwen, "What on earth did you say? How dare you slander me!"
Ye Qingran looked at him and asked directly: "You don't even know what they said, how come you know they are slandering you?"
"I……"
Zhao Zhiming came in a hurry and couldn't think of an excuse for a while. He was speechless when he was asked like this.
Tian Wenwen was also scared when he saw Zhao Zhiming, but they had been waiting for today for a long time. They might not have dared to tell Chu Qingyun before, but now that everyone is here, they came boldly.
"He also said that he and I are good brothers?"
Chu Qingyun's tone was a little dangerous, "My brother is the emperor, so you are worthy of it?"
"I didn't, I never said that, it's unfair!"
Some villagers couldn't stand listening anymore and said directly: "It's you who said that you and the prince are good brothers, so we support you. I didn't expect that you are just a liar! And you are also a murderer!"
"You're talking nonsense! I...I never said it. It's your guess. What does it have to do with me? Don't blame it on me!"
"Hey, why are you still making excuses? Who doesn't know you in our village? You took advantage of the prince's relationship to take so many things from us, and now you deny it?"
"You still dare to take their things in my name? Zhao Zhiming, I think you are really tired of living."
Chu Qingyun has many subordinates, but no one dares to do anything in his name. This is because he has always strictly prohibited this kind of thing from happening. Now Zhao Zhiming not only fabricated his relationship with him, but also used his name to do some shameful things. Damn it.
Zhao Zhiming could not refute, but was also afraid that Chu Qingyun would kill him just like that, so he could only kneel on the ground and bury his head without saying a word.
Chu Qingyun was not happy to be interrupted in the atmosphere he had finally created. He was even more disgusted when he heard that Zhao Zhiming was using his name to do evil in the village.
It's just that today is Ye Qingran's birthday. He doesn't want to kill anyone, so he still says: "Come here, tie him up and lock him up. Today is Ran'er's birthday. I don't want to see the bloody light, so I will go check things out today." Find out the specific process and tell me, there must be no mistakes."
Soon, guards came and tied up Zhao Zhiming and took him away.
Tian Wenwen was not so scared after seeing him being taken away, and kowtowed directly and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty! It is really helpless to come to complain today. I didn't want to disturb the Prince and Miss Ye, but... I don't dare to do it on weekdays. He said that we were afraid of being troubled by Zhao Zhiming. It just so happened that the villagers were here today and could testify for us, so we dared to say..."
Chu Qingyun sighed: "It doesn't matter. When we find out what happened, we will definitely give justice to your family. Let's forget it for today and let's go."
He had a headache. Although the surprise he had worked so hard to prepare had been delivered, Ye Qingran was happy to see it, but it was really depressing to be interrupted before he was happy for a while.
Zhao Zhiming could still curse a few words to vent his anger, but Tian Wenwen's family was the one suffering the most, and he couldn't say much, so he had to leave it at that.
Tian Wenwen and his family kowtowed and thanked each other, and then left in a hurry.
They have not dared to hold funerals these days, and now they are going home to start preparations, waiting for Zhao Zhiming to be punished before they can feel completely at ease.
At first, they were worried that Chu Qingyun would protect Zhao Zhiming because of their relationship, but now they found that Zhao Zhiming had nothing to do with Chu Qingyun and everything was an illusion. Tian Wenwen was both happy and collapsed.
She was happy that no one would cover up Zhao Zhiming and make him receive the punishment he deserved, but she was also sad that her family had been deceived, her innocence was gone, and without the relationship with the prince, there was no need for her to marry Zhao Zhiming.
What can she do after that? No good family would want her...
Zhao Zhiming, who was locked up in the woodshed, was a little scared. He was worried that he would die when he woke up, so he kept thinking about how to survive.
Before he could think of a solution, he heard a rustling sound at the door of the woodshed.
Then, with a soft sound, the door opened.
Looking at the pouring moonlight, a figure came in. Zhao Zhiming felt a sense of luck in his heart. Maybe someone came to save him.
But when he saw who was coming, his heart suddenly went cold.
"Ye Yunlian? What are you doing here?" He was so frightened that his tongue was tied.
Ye Yunlian looked at him condescendingly, with a sneer on her lips.
In fact, she only just found out what happened at Ye Qingran's birthday ceremony.
She knew that Chu Qingyun would hold a grand birthday ceremony for her today, and logically she was going to go, but she really didn't want to see Ye Qingran's proud look, so she pretended to be uncomfortable and didn't go, but she didn't want to miss this wonderful event. play.
It was precisely because of what Zhao Zhiming had done that she felt that he was not going to die soon.
This kind of person who doesn't live long is the easiest to expose secrets.
She had poisoned him before, but it was only poison that would cause him pain. Without an antidote, he would suffer for a lifetime, but it would not kill him.
If he died like this, Ye Qingran would definitely investigate the cause of his death, which would easily expose her purpose. But now that Zhao Zhiming was about to die, it would not be difficult for her to pretend to commit suicide out of fear of crime.
"You can probably guess what I'm going to do, right?"
Ye Yunlian walked step by step to Zhao Zhiming's side, "In the past, if you didn't have any concerns about me, I would have killed you. Now it's better. You have reached a dead end, so don't blame me for taking action first." !”
