Crazy criticizes the regent for reading my mind and his character collapses

Chapter 15 You Are Not Dead?
Li Qingmo pushed open the door of No. 13 courtyard with a condensed face. At the same time, Xia Rui rushed over with Qi Gui.

"Which room is yours and Qi Zihao's?" Nan Xi asked.

Qi Gui pointed to the left.

Xia Rui went to open the door, and could still smell the faint smell of pen and ink inside.

The bed on the left was neatly made, with two plain robes draped on the wooden bed next to it, and the boots on the floor were neatly placed without any dirt on them.

Looking to the right, there is a long desk with unfinished books placed on the table. There are many annotations on the books, which shows the painstaking efforts and hard work of the owner.

Qi Gui was saddened by the scene, and tears fell down again.

"My young master died so unjustly. I beg the prince to severely punish the murderer."

He cried and kowtowed to Li Qingmo, and his voice was heard outside the courtyard. Everyone was moved by this scholar who loyally protected the Lord, and they all called him a good person.

[Is the quilt folded so neatly?has a problem. 】Nan Xi walked towards the bed.

The houses in Zhuangyuan Hutong were all provided with quilts by the imperial court, but Qi Zihao's quilt was brought from home and looked particularly soft and thick.

Li Qingmo looked around the room at a glance. His eyes also paused on the bed for a moment, but he didn't name him, but looked at Nan Xi.

Ask: "What's wrong?"

Nan Xi turned to Qi Gui and asked, "When did you find out that something happened to your young master?"

Qi Gui regarded Nan Xi as a family member of the murderer and spoke in a bad tone. It wasn't until Li Qingmo's cold eyes glanced over that he murmured: "It was early the next morning when I asked the young master to get up, and the young master... just couldn't do it..."

His voice was choked up again, very sad.

Nan Xi asked again: "Then what did you do then?"

"Of course I called someone, and everyone nearby heard it."

His voice was not soft, and the people watching outside the hospital nodded: "Yes, he cried so loudly at that time."

"Hey, this scholar can be considered a kindhearted person. I heard that Qi Zihao was knowledgeable and kind to others. It's a pity that such a person died in such an unexplained way."

Nan Xi asked Xia Rui to call the people outside, and the small courtyard was instantly crowded.

She stood at the door of the house and asked them: "Did you come over immediately when you heard his voice?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

Nan Xi moved away from the door and pointed in the direction of the bed: "Was the quilt like this at that time?"

People standing in the front row craned their necks to look inside.

"Right, that is it."

"Isn't this neatly folded?"

Nan Xi frowned, "That's the problem."

She looked at Qi Gui: "When you found out that your young master died, you were extremely sad and cried for someone to come over. Then who folded the quilt so neatly?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, his young master is dead, how can he still be in the mood to make quilts?"

"He and Qi Zihao were sleeping in the same room. How could he not know about the death until the morning?"

"If Nan Mingkun and Shen Wenjin really beat people to death, why were they fine at the time? Qi Zihao was fine when he returned to the room."

"That's right, I watched it too."

Qi Gui was stunned, with a look of astonishment on his face, "I...I was..." He wanted to argue, but Nan Xi would not give him a chance.

Nan Xi's voice was stern, and his eyes were full of reverence for life, "In fact, you had a grudge against your young master because of some things, and when he was injured and weak after arguing with others, you suffocated him to death with a quilt. , you folded the quilt afterward, waited quietly for dawn, and cried for everyone to witness your grief, so that no one would doubt you, right?"

"no!"

Qi Gui glared at Nan Xi: "Why do you say that? How could I kill my young master? I have no reason to do this!"

Nan Xi: "I have re-examined Qi Zihao's body. The regent testified that Qi Zihao was suffocated to death, and you were with him all night. If someone else did it, why didn't you know?"

Qi Gui's eyes flickered, and his lowered hands kept rubbing the hem of his clothes, trying hard to find a reason to defend himself.

Li Qingmo glanced at Xia Rui.

Xia Rui walked to the door and made a gesture.

The crowd dispersed to both sides, and two guards escorted Nan Mingkun and Shen Wenjin in.

"See the Regent."

The two of them knelt down tremblingly. They had been quite frightened in the prison these past few days. Their previous high self-esteem, and the pride of Biding High School had also been smoothed away.

This is the first time for Nan Xi to see Nan Mingkun.

[The original owner’s brother was almost carved out of the same mold as his father, but it was the original owner who looked neither like his father nor his mother. How come she had never doubted this? 】

Nan Mingkun raised his head and met Nan Xi's eyes.

His pupils trembled, as if he had seen a ghost: "Nan Xi? Are you not dead?"

【Pooh!You just died! 】

【Your whole family is dead! 】

"Brother, what do you mean?" Nan Xi glanced at the people outside the room.

It would be a shame not to take advantage of such a good opportunity.

"I was unjustly imprisoned. Thanks to the wise regent, I cleared my name. But when I came home, I found that my parents and you had already left for Beijing. I don't blame you. After all, I was already on the execution ground at that time and was destined to die. If you had delayed it for me, It will be bad if I fail my brother’s autumn exam.”

She lowered her head and seemed to be shedding tears in grief. Such a fragile look was in sharp contrast to the righteousness in which she had just scolded Qi Qi and cleared the grievances of the deceased, making people subconsciously believe her words.

"The autumn exams are still half a month away. No matter what, it's still a day or two, but you don't even care about my sister's life or death?"

"Last night, I watched the Nan family couple stop the Prince Regent's carriage. When I saw my daughter, instead of asking about her well-being, the first thing they said was to ask her to take part in their son's case. I have never seen such cruel parents. .”

"When you look like this, it's normal to be biased."

Everyone looked at the birthmark on Nan Xiyou's face and felt sorry for him.

Such a good girl, but... alas!

Nan Mingkun was always good at observing people's emotions. When he saw Li Qingmo's unkind expression and looking between him and Nan Xi, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sister, that incident was my brother's fault. I couldn't bear to see you beheaded. I was afraid that my parents would be sad, so I went to Beijing with them in advance. Now you have not only cleared your grievances, but you have also been favored by the regent. In fact, It is a blessing for our family, please tell the prince quickly, I really did not kill anyone, I was wronged!"

Shen Wenjin also cried out for injustice. He had never suffered much since childhood, but he had tasted despair these days.

Li Qingmo took a step forward and blocked Nan Xi behind him, blocking Nan Mingkun's constant scrutiny.

"Do you two recognize him?" Li Qingmo pointed at Qi Gui.

Nan Mingkun: "I recognize him. He is Qi Zihao's book boy."

Li Qingmo asked again: "What did you hear on the night of the accident? Tell me again exactly what you said in prison."
