Waiting for the Rabbit!
Chen Lusheng's face turned pale. Had he been exposed?
Impossible, his design was perfect, there was no way he would be exposed.
However, as soon as he was taken to prison, Chen Sheng put torture instruments on him.
"Sir, sir, is there some misunderstanding between us? When Daren already said that he would let me go, why did you…"
But before he could finish, Fang Jun appeared in his line of sight with a smile and interrupted him.
"Misunderstanding? How could there be a misunderstanding? In the court, you are the one who asked me what the consequences of perjuring evidence are? Now, this official will tell you what the consequences of perjuring evidence are.”
As he spoke, Fang Jun signaled for Chen Sheng to make his move.
Chen Lusheng's scream echoed throughout the prison.
Chen Lusheng was just a grocery buyer. How could he bear all this? However, he told the truth after a while.
According to Chen Lusheng, Miao Cong was indeed the one who killed him. The purpose of the murder was to take Zhang Bozhong's money. Therefore, after killing and dumping the body, he buried the 120 taels of silver under the stone table in the bamboo forest in the backyard of Shunyi Nunnery.
"How do you know where Miao Cong buried the money?" Fang Jun frowned.”
Chen Lusheng couldn't come up with a reason.
Fang Jun waved his hand again, indicating for Chen Sheng to continue the execution.
Screams echoed in the prison again.
Although Chen Sheng didn't know why Fang Jun wanted to execute Chen Lusheng, it was very satisfying. He was very happy to do it on Fang Jun's behalf.
"I'll talk! I'll tell you!"
Chen Lusheng couldn't take the pain anymore and shouted.
Fang Jun smiled gently and told Chen Sheng to stop.
"So how did you know that Miao Cong hid the money under the stone table?”
Chen Lusheng panted heavily. After a while, he said,"I've known Miao Cong for a long time, so I know where he hid the money.”
Pausing for a moment, he saw that Fang Jun still had a look of disbelief on his face and quickly said,"Your Excellency, I'm telling the truth. Miao Cong was tempted by money. After killing Zhang Bozhong, he panicked and asked me to help him throw his body into the Wei River. He did not expect the corpse to be washed out instead of flowing down the river.”
"Since you had an affair with Miao Cong for a long time, why didn't you speak up for Miao Cong in court?”
Chen Lu was in so much pain that his forehead was covered in sweat. Hearing Fang Jun's questioning, a dignified man actually cried.
"Lord, I really didn't lie to you. That's a living human life. How would I dare to perjure myself?”
Only then did Fang Jun stop.
The case involved Miao Cong.
Fang Jun let Chen Lusheng go and had someone bring Miao Cong over.
Miao Cong's face turned pale as he looked at the terrifying torture instruments.
Fang Jun looked on and felt a little sorry for him, but he still waved his hand, indicating for the instruments of torture to be used.
Of course, the instruments of torture were much gentler than Chen Lusheng's.
"Miao Cong, I know that you buried the deceased Zhang Bozhong's silver under the table in the bamboo forest in the backyard of Shun Yi Nunnery.”
Fang Jun's voice, accompanied by Miao Cong's painful cries, entered Miao Cong's ears.
But she was already in so much pain that she couldn't speak, but she kept shaking her head, wanting to tell Fang Jun that things weren't as he knew.
Fang Jun sighed and gestured for Chen Sheng to stop.
In fact, when he first saw Miao Cong in the court, he had thought that Miao Cong would not be a murderer. If a person could kill, he would not be able to pretend to be a monk in Miao Cong's eyes.
However, the truth did not allow him to be biased towards her.
After a while, Miao Cong quickly said,"How could this poor nun have an affair with that Chen Lusheng with her pure reputation?" However, monks did not lie. The twenty taels of silver under the bamboo stone table were the incense money that the poor nun had saved up over the years. It was impossible for them to be stolen silver. Please judge me!"
Fang Jun was stunned.
Twenty taels? Shouldn't it be 120 taels?
Was Miao Cong lying?
He frowned and asked sternly,"Nonsense! It was clearly a hundred and twenty taels, how could it be twenty taels?”
As he spoke, he planned to execute Chen Sheng.
Miao Cong was so anxious that he cried. He shook his head and said,"That was really the incense money that I had earned over the years. Because I was afraid of thieves, I secretly buried it under the stone table, but I didn't know where the 100 taels came from.”
Fang Jun finally sighed.
Miao Cong couldn't tell him the source of the hundred taels even after interrogating him like this. Could it be that he really didn't know?
He fell into deep thought. Although he suspected that Zhu Si and the others were not telling the truth, Chen Lusheng did not want to lie.
Could it be that he had overlooked some details?
After thinking for a long time, Fang Jun ordered people to find a midwife.
Since there was no breakthrough in the aspect of silver, then he would start with the affair. However, after the midwife checked, she told him that Miao Cong was still a virgin.
If Miao Cong was a virgin, then Chen Lusheng was a traitor. But why did Chen Lusheng frame Miao Cong?
Fang Jun was in a mess.
After sending Miao Cong back to his cell, he sat in the court and fell into deep thought.
He had to sort out the entire case.
First, there was Chen Lusheng's confession. If one only looked at Chen Lusheng's testimony, there would not be any problems. However, Chen Lusheng had drawn out Zhu Si and Su Lu.
There was nothing wrong with the testimony of these two people. However, when he thought about it carefully, it was full of loopholes. It even seemed like they had discussed it in advance and put on a show in front of him.
In that case…
Fang Jun suddenly understood.
"Chen Sheng, order a few skilled bailiffs to guard the Wisdom Pool Nunnery. We'll wait for the rabbit.”
Chen Sheng was stunned, but he still did as he was told. Ever since Fang Jun took office, he had been unable to figure out what the county magistrate did. He only knew that Fang Jun had his reasons for doing so.
The bailiffs quickly arrived at the Wisdom Pool Nunnery and set up observation points in the four directions of the Wisdom Pool Nunnery without anyone noticing.
Only then did Fang Jun return to the residence.
"Husband, you're back? How was it? I heard that Miao Cong had entered the net? Is there any progress on the case?"
Fang Jun didn't answer, but he gently smiled and rubbed Li Lizhi's head."Don't worry, I'll make my own plans."
Li Lizhi listened and stared at Fang Jun's mysterious face with her big eyes.
Since Fang Jun didn't want to talk about it, then she wouldn't ask.
If Fang Jun wanted to say it, he would naturally tell her.
Fang Jun also wanted to wait for the results of the matter before telling her, but there was no news from the Wisdom Pool Nunnery for four or five days.
"Milord, it has already been five days, and there is still no movement from the Wisdom Pool Nunnery. Did you misjudge this time?”
Fang Jun also frowned.
It was absolutely impossible for him to make a wrong judgment, but he did not know why there was still no movement from the Wisdom Pool Nunnery after five days.
"Wait a little longer. There must be a problem.”
Fang Jun said.
He could only wait. Other than waiting, he could not think of any other way.
As night fell, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and some stars flickered in the dark night sky.
Fang Jun tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
He forced himself to sleep again, but this only made him more frustrated.
