The Witnesses, Chen Lusheng!
Fang Jun thought that this would scare them.
However, the truth was that Miao Cong and the little nun in his arms were shocked, but they did not show any guilt. Instead, they replied innocently and fearfully,""This poor nun doesn't know what human life you are talking about, and it is even more impossible for me to murder a human life.”
Fang Jun had expected Miao Cong to say that, but he did not expect the innocence in Miao Cong's eyes.
Her innocent eyes made it hard to believe that the woman with such eyes was a murderer who had killed and dumped the body.
But perhaps it was her superb acting skills?
Fang Jun avoided Miao Cong's question.
If Miao Cong could really make that innocent feeling so real, then how terrifying was this woman?
Tsk tsk, thinking about it, I'm afraid.
"6 days ago, someone reported to me that a man's corpse was found on the bank of Weishui River. It was estimated that the time of death should be 7 days ago.”
Miao Cong stopped talking.
Seven days ago, she was invited by a rich family in Chang 'an to perform a ritual. So early that morning, she took her little disciple to Chang' an.
However, she did not want to reveal the information of her believers. After all, this was the most basic professional ethics.
Therefore, after a while, she said,"Early that morning, I took my disciple out and was not in the nunnery at all.”
"What evidence do you have to prove that you're telling the truth?"”
Miao Cong replied without thinking," Because I woke up early. Chen Lusheng, a peddler who also woke up early in the alley to sell vegetables in the city, can testify for me. He can prove that I wasn't in the nunnery that day."”
Fang Jun immediately ordered his men to bring Chen Lusheng over.
After all, there was a witness. Of course, he had to be interrogated.
Not long after, Chen Lusheng was brought to the county office by the bailiffs.
When Chen Lusheng saw Miao Cong and his disciple standing in the court, a hint of emotion flashed across his eyes.
"Chen Lusheng, do you recognize this person?”
Just as Chen Lusheng stood still and cupped his hands in greeting, Fang Jun looked at the young man in his twenties and asked in a deep voice.
Chen Lusheng glanced at Miao Cong beside him and cupped his hands.""Milord, she's the master of the nun Miao Cong from the Shun Yi Nunnery in the small alley. I make a living by selling vegetables. There are vegetable gardens and bamboo forests in the two nunnery in our alley. The nuns can't sell the vegetables and bamboo shoots on their own, so they have to entrust me to sell them on their behalf. Therefore, I am very familiar with the nuns and recognize her.”
Miao Cong nodded as he listened.
Chen Lusheng's words were also the reason why Miao Cong wanted him to testify for him.
Fang Jun was also listening to Chen Lusheng's words, and he said thoughtfully,""Miao Cong said that you can prove that she wasn't in Shun Yi Nunnery seven days ago, is that true?”
Chen Lusheng was taken aback. He didn't answer Fang Jun's question directly, but asked coldly,"Sir, is perjury against the law?"
Fang Jun didn't expect Chen Lusheng to ask this question, but he still told him the truth. If he gave false testimony, Miao Cong would be convicted, and he would be sentenced as an accomplice.
Chen Lusheng's expression changed when he heard that. He quickly said,"I dare not lie to you. Seven days ago, I saw a visitor enter Shun Yi Nunnery and never come out.”
Miao Cong's expression changed when he heard that.""Chen Lusheng, that morning, you clearly saw me…"
However, before Miao Cong could finish his sentence, Chen Lusheng interrupted him,""See you what? That morning, I only saw a devotee in his thirties enter Shunyi Nunnery. I didn't see you at all.”
The more Miao Cong listened, the angrier and more anxious he became. He pointed at Chen Lusheng but could not say a word.
Fang Jun sat in the court and looked at the two of them. He slapped the gavel and said to Miao Cong,"Miao Cong, what else do you have to say?”
Miao Cong quickly said," Your Excellency, I entered Chang 'an early that morning. The door of the nunnery was closed. How could there be visitors?" I don't know why Chen Lusheng framed me, but I dare to swear to Guan Yin Bodhisattva that if I really harm other people's lives, I am willing to fall into hell forever!”
"Human lives!"
Chen Lusheng shouted in shock after Miao Cong finished his sentence.
Fang Jun looked at him. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Chen Lusheng's shocked expression was exaggerated.
"Sir, what lives?" Chen Lusheng asked again.”
Fang Jun didn't want to bother with her, but Chen Sheng told him about the discovery of the body.
Chen Sheng widened his eyes in disbelief.
"The nun killed someone? He even threw his body into the Wei River!"
Fang Jun looked at him and frowned unhappily.
For some unknown reason, Fang Jun found Chen Lusheng extremely unpleasant to the eye at first glance. He even hated him.
However, he still suppressed his hatred for Chen Lusheng and continued to ask,""Since you saw that visitor, do you recognize him?”
Chen Lusheng quickly cupped his hands.”
However, before Chen Lusheng could reveal the identity of the visitor, Fang Jun interrupted him and turned to Miao Cong,""Chen Lusheng said that he knows that devotee. Do you know him?”
Miao Cong shook his head." No male devotees have ever entered Shunyi Nunnery. Besides, I left early in the morning that day. The door of the nunnery was tightly shut. How could anyone enter?”
Fang Jun ignored him and turned to Chen Lusheng,"You said you know that devotee?"
"Yes, my lord." Chen Lusheng nodded repeatedly. He was Zhang Bozhong, a merchant from the south of the Yangtze River. He often came to Chang 'an to do business. I often took some goods from him to sell, so I knew him. The afternoon before Zhang Bozhong died, I saw him enter Shunyi Nunnery, but I never saw him come out. If it was as Lord Chen said, I saw Zhang Bozhong's body in the river the second day after he entered Shunyi Nunnery. If it wasn't this little b * tch who plotted against him, who else could it be?”
Miao Cong was furious when she heard that. She was a monk and should not have said such foul words. However, she could not care less when facing someone like Chen Lusheng.
He pointed at Chen Lusheng and scolded,"Chen Lusheng, you're a liar!" I have no enmity with you. Why do you accuse me? Since when have male devotees come and go to Shun Yi Nunnery? How can a weak woman like me kill a man?”
"How could I dare to falsely accuse you?" Chen Lusheng sneered. I wasn't the only one who saw Zhang Bozhong enter Shunyi Nunnery. That day, I watched Zhang Bozhong enter your Shunyi Nunnery with Zhu Asi, the weaver, and the nun of Fengchi Nunnery, Truffle. Can you still deny it?”
