The corner of the county magistrate's mouth curled up in fear. He was at a loss of what to do!

"But …" "The murderer has already confessed. I did not interrogate her, beat her up, and even made a bet. Who would be so stupid as to admit that they are not the murderer?" The look in her eyes was unclear, yet unclear.

"That's because even she doesn't know who the killer is!" Ji Yunshu said.

What?

"What does that mean?"

The county magistrate could no longer sit still. He walked around the table, grabbed his official's uniform, and walked down the hall.

As he spoke, he said, "Stand up first. If you kneel on the ground, I'll always feel awkward talking to you."

"Then you agreed to open the hall?" she asked, looking up at him.

The county magistrate spread his hands wide. "Do you have to have evidence?" "According to the procedure, if the murderer has drawn up a bet and there is no evidence, I will not be able to reopen the case. You know that."

"Of course there's evidence."

"Really?"

Ji Yunshu stood up from the ground and patted off the dust on her robes. With a serious expression, she said, "I hope that Lord will immediately give the order to bring Zhou Family's Old Steward over for questioning."

Old Steward?

Does Zhou Family have Old Steward? Why didn't he notice it at the time?

Seeing that the county magistrate was still contemplating the matter, Ji Yunshu glared at him with burning eyes. "Sir, are you telling me that you want this commoner to beat the drum outside the yamen?"

"There's no need, there's no need. You don't need to be a commoner …" Waving his hands repeatedly, he trusted Ji Yunshu. Turning his head, he instructed the bailiff, "Go, bring the Zhou Mansion's housekeeper over."

"Yes."

As soon as the bailiff was ready to go, Ji Yunshu stopped him.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Ji?" the bailiff asked with a wink.

She whispered something into his ear, and the bailiff nodded in understanding. Then, he led the few bailiffs towards the Zhou Family.

The county magistrate was filled with doubts. He approached Ji Yunshu, pursed his lips and frowned, "There's someone else behind this. What does it have to do with Old Steward?" Could it be … Was it him? "

"My lord, you want to know so much?"

"Of course!" He leaned towards Ji Yunshu with a hint of vulgarity and desire on his face, "Tell this official, didn't you find the culprit? Those two also admitted it? Why are you turning the case around right now? Hurry up and tell me. "

"Has the lord heard a word?"

"What do you mean?"

"Curiosity kills the cat!"

He choked to the point of not being able to say a single word!

At this moment, a pair of cold eyes stared fixedly at the two through the narrow crack. They seemed to have condensed into a ball of flame, almost throwing it towards the two.

What was the point of being so close? It was unknown what those who were familiar with the situation were talking about.

Jing Rong almost put his ear to the door, but his hand was hanging, so it was a bit inconvenient.

However, he was still very unhappy from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Qingping, you have guts. You even dare to rely on this king's scholar.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the bailiff arrived with Old Steward from the Zhou Mansion.

Old Steward, with his hands behind his back, was still hunched. Because his legs weren't strong enough, when he was dragged in by a bailiff, he always felt like he was falling forward.

After being escorted into the court, he knelt on the ground.

Old Steward also did not earn a lot, he was extremely obedient!

However, because of the scar on his face, his face was still very low.

Following behind them were master zhou and Madame Zhou.

Why didn't they alert their master when they had entered the mansion for no reason? And he even brought Uncle Old Steward Jing, who had worked in the mansion for many years.

Now that the person had been brought in, the county magistrate hurriedly went up to the hall and sat on the pear blossom chair.

"Pa ~ ~ ~"

Ye Zichen slapped.

Below the stage, Old Steward was kneeling, Ji Yunshu was standing, and master zhou and Madame Zhou were standing beside her.

The county magistrate held his face. "Ji Yunshu, I've heard from you that there's injustice involved. If you're going to pay me back, why are you doing this?"

Ji Yunshu placed her hands on the table and raised her head slightly, "Sir, I've made a mistake in my decision. miss zhou's death has been committed by someone else. I plead for you to reopen this case."

"Then tell me, I will listen. If it is as you said, there is another culprit, so I will naturally reopen the case."

master zhou and Madame Zhou trembled when they heard that the culprit was someone else.

master zhou said, "Master, what is going on? "Isn't the killer Su Yun?"

"This... Wait for Yun Shu's explanation, this official … I don't know the details either. "

His gaze fell on Ji Yunshu.

Ji Yunshu took a step forward and lowered her head to look at Old Steward. She asked lightly, "Old sir, do you know why you were brought here?"

After a short moment, there was no reply.

She smiled as a trace of strangeness appeared on her face: "I'm not in good health. The prison is dark and damp. I wonder if you will be able to handle the plague?"

Still no answer.

The others didn't understand, so why did they talk about this for no reason at all?

Jing Rong, who was at the back of the hall, was also very curious. He moved his chair and leaned forward.

However, he still felt that the county magistrate's slightly plump figure was blocking his way, so he simply quietly moved to the side.

He had a wide field of vision!

You can enjoy it now!

Ji Yunshu didn't notice Jing Rong, who was hiding at the side.

She circled around and walked behind Old Steward, and the corner of her mouth hooked up once again.

"People don't have to talk, but things can talk. Old sir, why don't you just admit it, miss zhou... You killed him. "

Hua ~

Today, the court was in an uproar again and again!

It was a pity that they missed out on such a lively scene.

Old Steward, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a chill down his spine as he grabbed the corner of his shirt with both of his hands.

In Ji Yunshu's eyes, that small movement was naturally a sign of guilt.

Madame Zhou was the first one to break out of the shock, her eyes were swollen, and she said dizzily: "Sir, what did you say? It can't be Ah Jing, he wouldn't do that, he watched my daughter grow up, he definitely won't. "

Very firm!

master zhou also chimed in: "The killer has already confessed, why do you say that the killer is Ah Jing now? Is there something wrong with that? "

"master zhou, Madame Zhou, I made a mistake in resolving the case, so of course I have to be punished. But the most important thing is, I have the responsibility to find the real culprit."

"But …" master zhou's infarction.

Ji Yunshu walked in front of Old Steward once again. Her eyebrows changed and she had an aggressive posture.

"I'll ask you again, did you kill miss zhou?" Why did you kill her? "

It was clearly a questioning tone, but there was a trace of hostility in it.

Old Steward couldn't help but raise his head. Although his face was hideous, his eyes were gentle. He glanced at the corner of his mouth and spoke with a very deep tone.

"Mister is so smart, so you probably already have the answer. Why don't you guess for yourself?"

"Ugh!"

Ji Yunshu actually scolded him. That tone clearly showed no fear. Instead, it carried a sense of relief.

Old Steward's words made everyone understand one thing.

miss zhou, he really killed her!
