Chapter 148 Accident
Xiao Jingheng waved his hand and signaled Qing Mo to take people to search together.
He tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers and said casually, "Bring a chair for Song Zhuangyuan."
Song Shiwei was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Xiao Jingheng.
She had been standing in the hall for a long time, and now she was waiting for the results of the search, but she didn't know how long she would have to wait.
She was indeed a little tired of standing.
But is it really okay for Jamel Xiao to favor her so openly?
Soon, the guards moved a chair and placed it aside.
Seeing that the adults in the hall looked normal, Song Shiwei thanked them calmly and sat down on the chair with peace of mind.
Song Moting's legs were numb from kneeling on the ground, but his daughter was able to sit there. It was simply unfair.
He looked up at Song Shiwei and said sadly, "Weier, I didn't expect you to hate me so much.
You blame me for leaving you in the countryside and ignoring you, but Zhou is cruel and ruthless. If I stay with you, how can she tolerate you?
I didn't expect that you would team up with her to avenge me. You are so wrong."
Even at this point, he still did not forget to persuade Song Shiwei to clear himself of suspicion.
Zhou was furious when she heard this. She rushed over and grabbed Song Moting's neck tightly and said, "You are a heartless beast. I lost my son for you and suffered a lot for you.
In the end, you want to kill me and put the blame on me. How could I be so blind to fall in love with you?"
The officers hurriedly pulled the two of them apart.
Song Moting wailed and expressed his grievances, "My Lords, you all saw it, right? This vicious woman dared to kill me in front of you. I was really wronged by her."
Zhou's eyes widened, and she realized that Song Moting was deliberately trying to provoke her and make her attack him. She collapsed and cursed loudly: "You beast! Beast!"
Song Shiwei sat on the chair and said in a calm voice: "Sir, even with the testimony of Nanny Feng and Zhou, Song Moting still refuses to plead guilty and tries to exonerate himself with clever words.
A slippery person like him obviously doesn't take our Nanli laws seriously."
Han Qingyan nodded and asked, "Does Mr. Song have any good ideas?"
Song Shiwei said, "I heard that the Dali Temple has many interrogation techniques. I guess Cheng Enbo has never seen them. Why not invite him to come and have a look?"
"it is good."
Han Qingyan shouted and ordered, "Come here, take Cheng Enbo to the torture room for a thorough inspection. Instruct him clearly on how to use each torture device. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
The bailiff responded and then took Song Moting out.
Song Moting was terrified. He shouted, "I am the Earl of Cheng'en, who was personally appointed by His Majesty. I have not been convicted yet. You cannot treat me like this. You are trying to force me to confess."
Han Qingyan smiled and said, "Lord Cheng En has misunderstood. I just want you to go for a visit, not to torture you.
Of course, if the evidence is solid and you still refuse to plead guilty, then I will have to torture you one by one in the Dali Temple."
He waved his hand: "Take him down."
The Minister of Justice and the Censor-in-Chief who were attending the trial did not say a word. Han Qingyan's move was a deterrent and also a method of torture, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Half an hour later, Song Moting was brought back. He had no injuries on his body, but his face was as pale as if he had seen a ghost.
After being sent back, he sat limply on the ground, his mind filled with the horrific scenes he had just seen in the torture room.
Not long after, Qing Mo came back with his men. He presented the things he had found in the Cheng En Bo Mansion to Han Qingyan and said, "I and others found a secret room in Cheng En Bo's study. These are the things we found in the secret room."
There were several medicine bottles and a stack of account books on the table.
Han Qingyan asked Chen Jintang to check the medicine bottles, while he picked up the account book and flipped through it casually.
When he turned it over, his expression suddenly changed, and then he hurriedly handed the account book to Xiao Jingheng.
Xiao Jingheng glanced at it, then curled his lips and said, “It’s really an unexpected gain.”
This account book records the list of officials that Cheng Enbo has bribed over the years.
I remember exactly when, where and when I gave something as a gift.
On the other hand, Chen Jintang also found the poison of San Sheng Jue. In addition to San Sheng Jue, there are many other rare poisons that are difficult to buy in the world.
Han Qingyan asked, "Song Moting, the evidence is irrefutable, why don't you confess the truth?
Do you really want to experience the torture of my Dali Temple?"
Song Moting shuddered, and looked at the evidence on the table with a gloomy face, knowing that he could not escape.
He had been careful for so many years and had finally come to where he is today, why did it end up like this?
It was Song Shiwei. It was all her fault.
He shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to let her live. He should have strangled her to death and let her go to accompany her mother!
Thinking of this, Song Moting went crazy. He suddenly stood up and pulled Song Shiwei, who was sitting on the chair, over to him, grabbed her neck, and said viciously: "You are as hateful as your mother!"
Xiao Jingheng stood up suddenly, stared at Song Moting with a gloomy face, and subconsciously clenched his hands.
Han Qingyan said angrily: "Song Moting, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?"
Song Moting sneered and stared at them, "You all hold high positions, but dare you say your hands are clean and have never been involved in a crime?
I have come this far through my own strategies and means, so what's wrong with getting this overwhelming wealth?"
Song Shiwei's face darkened when she heard this. She thought Song Moting was just greedy, but she didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
He thinks he is doing nothing wrong in killing people and stealing their money.
She took a deep breath and asked, "So, you are admitting that you killed my mother and grandfather?"
"So what? They deserve to die!"
Song Moting's face was a little grim. He said, "I work like a slave for the Xu family, but they guard against me like a thief and never treat me as a human being."
He recalled the sadness and grievance he felt when he first entered the Xu family.
In order to gain the approval of his father-in-law, he was so humble and cautious that he threw away all his dignity and face.
However, he was finally accepted by the Xu family not because of his ability, but because he knew that Xu Miaoshu was pregnant with a bastard.
No matter how powerful one is, one still has to maintain his reputation. Because he holds such a big secret, the Xu family has no choice but to accept him.
It was also from then on that he understood a truth: if you want to get what you want, you must get it at all costs and by all means.
Instead of asking for recognition from others, be the one in control!
And he did it.
However, due to the collusion between Song Shiwei and Zhou, everything he had was destroyed.
Since we are going to die, let's take them to hell with us.
"Song Shiwei, you forced me to do this. Why don't you just be my daughter? If you insist on seeking death, then I will grant your wish!"
There was a sinister murderous look in Song Moting's eyes, and he suddenly exerted force on the hand that was pinching Song Shiwei's neck!
