It took me almost three feet of digging through the grass to find the murderous scissors. I don't know who dumped carbon ash on the scissors and rolled them into the mud of the stream, thanks to the magnet.

The evidence was found, but all fingerprints, bloodstains and other traces on it had been destroyed.

Teng Chong didn't care, "I have already confirmed with her girl that these scissors indeed belong to the Zhongshan County Prince's Palace, but they do not belong to the murderer Man Niang, but to another concubine Xuan Niang."

Yeats, holding the scissors, heard this and thought thoughtfully, "Now it makes sense."

The next day, Ye's small group was sorting out the case in the office room and heard the news of Teng Chong's investigation. The connection point of the fault in the case was finally found.

Zhang Jin asked curiously: "What makes sense?"

Zhao Bai then said, "Every time a crime is committed, it is a wedding or banquet for guests. There are so many guests, and no one helps her to show off. No matter how smart and vicious Zhao Manniang is, it is always difficult to scream alone."

"Brother Ye, you mean that Zhao Xuanniang is her accomplice?"

Yeats nodded, "One of the fingerprints taken out from the deceased Zhao Qi's body last night contained Zhao Xuanniang's fingerprints. Zhao Qi struggled and Zhao Man'er couldn't hold her captive, so she asked her to help hold Zhao Qi in check."

Teng Chong couldn't imagine, "Oh my god, how can two little ladies do this..." He thought about it and said, "If it weren't for Little Brother Ye, my family would be in trouble."

Yeats also sighed, "Let's go to the cell to meet the Zhao sisters."

On the way to the cell, Tengchong told the situation about the Zhongshan County Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Manniang's biological mother was the second daughter of the fourth-rank imperial censor in Beijing. She somehow had a relationship with the Crown Prince of Zhongshan County at a banquet in a certain mansion. Later, for the sake of face, the two families let the Crown Prince of Zhongshan County into their mansion.

That's right, it's acceptance, not marriage, because the prince of Zhongshan County already has a head wife. Even the second daughter of the fourth-rank censor can be married to the young lady of the houmen or the Duke's house as the head wife. Because this incident has become a She became the concubine of the Prince of Zhongshan who had no real power and only received a salary.

How could she be willing to face such a downturn in her life? When Zhao Maniang was born, the first words that greeted her were not blessings from her family, but a severe curse from her mother, "Take this disgusting thing away from me!" "

After giving birth to a child, the second daughter of the fourth-rank imperial censor found a way to leave the Zhongshan County Prince's Palace not long after. Through family operations, she later married into a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River under a new identity. From then on, she broke up with the daughter of the Zhongshan County Prince's Palace. Never seen it either.

A child without the protection of his mother can imagine.

Because of the incident between his son and the second daughter of the fourth-rank censor, the Zhongshan County Prince's Mansion paid a lot of money and paid a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and the already stretched life became more and more difficult.

All this anger comes from the little Zhao Manniang, a child who has been hated and cursed by her relatives since she was born. Therefore, she developed a withdrawn and cold character at a very young age. Every time the princess of Zhongshan County or the wife of the prince's prince abused her, she would No tears will be shed.

When she was five years old, when she began to have memories, she saw a child having an epilepsy. The scene of the child suffering, struggling, and even dying gave her a particularly pleasant emotion.

From then on, when the Princess of Zhongshan County and the Crown Prince's wife abused her, she abused little girls with a lower status than her, and even little concubines who were not as strong as her. When she was seven or eight years old, the Princess of Zhongshan County's mother-in-law raised her as a girl. Being hungry and being bullied is commonplace.

Yeats began to interrogate the two Zhao sisters, and Zhao Xuaner, who was timid and cowardly, was quickly recruited. She had been helping out under the threat of her concubine since she was six years old, and she told them everything.

"Sir, there's nothing I can do about it. She's very strong and I can't beat her. She's so cruel that she can kill a cat without blinking an eye."

There seems to be a kind of cruelty from Zhao Manniang's nature. When she abuses animals and children who are weaker than herself, because they are unable to resist, she feels cruel and psychologically satisfied.

Teng Chong and others gasped at the young lady's words. Are there really born bad people in the world?
In his previous life, Yeats had heard of Super Male Syndrome. Could it be that Zhao Manniang was this type of child?There was sufficient evidence from the witness of the concubine, the scissors found, the fingerprints on Zhao Qi's body, and the footprints around the victim. Yeats originally thought that if these evidences were presented to Zhao Manniang, she would plead guilty and be imprisoned. Unexpectedly, she Like a veteran who commits crimes, he either talks nonsense or makes various excuses about what he has committed.

Yeats looked at the pitiful and hateful little girl. From the sympathy welling up in his heart at first, he finally responded with anger: "Why do you attack a three or four-year-old boy?"

"I have already said that he insists on playing games with me. You know, he is the most favored grandson of the Prince of Wuping County. If I don't cooperate, he will find someone to beat me. There is nothing I can do. "

Yeats: "..."

Looking at the smart, cold, and complicated child, Yeats secretly suppressed the rising anger. She was calm and precocious, like a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He could no longer treat her with the mentality of a child.

Pei Jingning, who was standing behind Yeats, raised his eyes, "Lu Cheng Temple——"

"grown ups--"

"Just as Dali Temple interrogates prisoners, she will be interrogated as well."

Lu Chengsi was shocked, and everyone looked at each other in confusion. They couldn't help but look at the skinny Zhao Maniang. Can she withstand it?

Yeats was pushed away by Pei Jingning.

Finally, Yeats saw Zhao Manniang's signature on the interrogation record.

Yeats sighed repeatedly.

Teng Chong and others also sighed with emotion, how could there be people with cruel nature?

The outing incident in the suburbs soon came to the Longqi Dilong case. An 11-year-old girl started committing crimes three years ago, which means she started killing people when she was eight years old.

"A child, and a young lady..." The emperor couldn't believe it. Could it be that she was born a bad person?
Pei Jingning blinked when Emperor Long Qi saw him. The lady’s surname is Zhao. It’s not a good idea to think so!

Realizing that his nephew had understood what he meant, Emperor Long Qi looked away with a guilty conscience, "The Prince of Zhongshan is such a bastard. He has no position. He can't even manage a house when he is idle. How can he still have the dignity to do so?" Enjoy the royal salary in the capital, and the perpetrators will be severely punished. The Zhongshan County Prince will be fined for three months, and the Zhongshan County Prince's Palace will not be allowed to participate in any family celebrations for three years."

After this incident, the Prince of Zhongshan County lost his face and stayed in the capital. He sold his residence and left the capital. From then on, he disappeared from the social circle of the capital. Only one servant came to the capital on time every month to collect their due salary.

Because Zhao Manniang was too young and a young lady, she was not subject to the death penalty. She was sent to the clan nunnery by Dali Temple and was under the supervision of the nunnery until her death.

This case had a great impact on the Zhao clan, so much so that the clan leader resigned from the throne and no longer took care of the clan's affairs.

"Who is the newly appointed patriarch of the Zhao family?" Yeats thought he heard wrongly and asked Zhao Bai. He was also the prince of the county. He had also participated in the Zhao family's re-election of the patriarch a few days ago.

"You heard it right, it's King Han."

Yeats: ...
