After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 354 Rushing to Confess
Yu Linlang and his party were respectfully escorted out by the steward. When they got on the carriage and headed back to the government office, Chen Buyu couldn't help but ask, "Sir, if this case was really committed by the Kong Kong Sect, how many people would it take to completely evict the entire Gong Mansion?"

"Indeed." Yu Linlang sat upright and nodded, "Such a large sum of money can't come and go without a trace. There must be some traces to follow when moving so many things, right?"

"That's right." Chen Buyu was full of doubt. "I saw that all the flowers, plants and trees in the mansion garden had been moved away. How many vehicles would it take to transport the goods? Can all this be done overnight?"

Yu Linlang pondered in silence, with an unfathomable look on her face.

Chen Buyu moved closer to Yu Linlang and whispered, "Sir, do you think there is a possibility that the Gong Mansion reported a false case?"

Yu Linlang's eyebrows twitched, and she suppressed the smile that was about to emerge from her lips. She said seriously, "Let's wait for Wu Bantou to check the patrol records of yesterday. It's useless for us to speculate here."

Chen Buyu thought about it and it made sense, so he skipped the topic and said, "Sir, there has been some progress in the case of Madam Wang murdering her husband."

"During the days when you were in Jinzhou Prefecture, someone came to our government office to surrender himself."

"Oh?" Yu Linlang was curious, "Who is it?"

"He is an ice maker from Yong'an Ice House. He is said to be Madam Wang's ex-fiancé. He grew up with Madam Wang in Xiaowang Village. They were childhood sweethearts and were once engaged."

"It was just that my family was poor and I couldn't afford the three taels of silver needed to marry a daughter-in-law a few years ago, so I missed out on Madam Wang."

"He has confessed to the crime, saying that he was the one who killed Jin Laifu. He said the same thing as Madam Wang, that he killed the Jin family's treasure with an ice knife. He also said that Madam Wang turned herself in to atone for his crime."

The first thing Yu Linlang did when she returned to the government office was to visit Wang Dali, the ice craftsman who had turned himself in in the prison.

The man had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a very tall stature. He looked like a good worker.

He looked at Yu Linlang calmly, his expression frank, "I killed him. Because he was not a man, he deserved to die. If he died, Xiaohua would be free, so I killed him."

"Xiaohua is such a good wife, but he doesn't treat her well after marrying her. He beats and scolds her every day. If he could make money and had some ability, I would respect him. But he is obviously a big loser. He only gambles, eats, drinks and sleeps all day. Even a pig is more diligent than him."

"He lies on the bed every day waiting for Xiaohua to take care of his shit and piss. He is such a grown man, but he doesn't even have the slightest sense of shame."

"Not only does the wife have to serve him, she also has to serve his family, and go out to work as a helper to earn money to support that loser. Ha, what's the point of having a man like this alive? If he lives one more day, it's just a waste of one day's food."

"I was the one who killed him. I am solely responsible for my actions. You killed me to pay for his life. This matter has nothing to do with Xiaohua! Let her go and don't make things difficult for her."

Yu Linlang asked the officer to drag a stool for her to sit on. She lay on the wooden fence and stared at the indignant young man inside through the huge gap.

"I heard that you are an expert at making ice and very capable." Yu Linlang asked with a smile while lying on the fence.

"Yes, I can grind ice into various beautiful shapes, such as carving dragons, phoenixes and flowers. Chiseling ice with a knife is even easier. Others don't have this ability, only me. I am good at this!"

"Yes." Yu Linlang nodded vigorously. "You are so capable and have a skill. Why didn't you take out three taels of silver to ask for Madam Wang's hand in marriage?"

The man's eyes showed a trace of resentment and anger, and he slammed his fist as big as a bowl against the wall. "My brother wanted to study at that time, but my mother was seriously ill. My brother said he could give up studying, but the money saved at home was only enough to buy medicine for my mother."

"I really have no other choice, so I went to ask Uncle Wang's family to wait for half a year. When I have enough money, I will definitely ask Xiaohua to marry me."

At this point, Wang Dali covered his face in discomfort, his voice trembling slightly, "They couldn't even wait half a year, and they insisted on marrying Xiaohua to Xiliutou Street, saying that Xiaohua would be able to live a good life after entering the capital. In fact, they are just greedy for the three taels of silver!" "How is your brother doing in school?" Yu Linlang suddenly changed the subject.

Wang Dali was stunned for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand, a smile on his face, "That's good, he has always studied hard and is very capable."

"Are you planning to try it out in the autumn exam this year?"

Wang Dali said nothing.

"I guess he should be studying in a certain academy in Beijing now. The fact that you can send your brother to a academy shows that your family's conditions have improved a lot over the years, and you have worked very hard."

"This has nothing to do with my brother and the others!" Wang Dali raised his head angrily, "I killed the man, I am solely responsible for my actions!"

"Then have you ever thought about the impact on your brother's career if he passes the imperial examination and is found to have a murderer brother?"

"Me!" Wang Dali said angrily with red eyes, "I will break off the relationship with him! Right now!"

Yu Linlang gave him a cold look, then stood up and left slowly.

Wang Dali was anxious. He rushed to the fence and knocked on the wooden door. "Sir, sir! If I can bear this guilt, what else do you want me to do? This matter has nothing to do with them, sir! Sir."

"My Lord, when it comes to judging a case, it doesn't mean that you can just recite it and take the blame, and the case is settled. Everything still depends on evidence."

"I, how come I have no evidence? I made that ice skate! I made it with my own hands! My Lord, my Lord, my Lord~~ I've said it all, what else do you want me to confess, my Lord!!" Wang Dali shook the wooden door vigorously, and his strength was so great that he almost broke the entire door open...

The officer whipped him with a small whip and cursed, "Shut up!"
Chen Buyu stepped forward with a look of surprise, "Sir, this? Do you think that the murderer is not him?"

"It's not him." Yu Linlang glanced sideways, "Look at his strength. When he kills someone, does he need to use his arm to press down on the victim for strength?"

"The victim was paralyzed in bed all day, and he hardly ever left the house except for gambling. Wang Dali didn't have to go through so much trouble to kill him." Yu Linlang sneered, "Killing such a loser is like killing a chick, it won't be that difficult."

"Yes." Chen Buyu suddenly smiled, "Your Excellency is wise. In your opinion, the murderer is still Wang Xiaohua?"

Yu Linlang smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, wait a little longer, maybe someone will come and turn themselves in."

"what?"

"Summarize the information you have collected in the past few days and let me review it."

"Yes, my lord."

Yu Linlang walked leisurely, and when she passed Wang Niangzi's cell, she suddenly rushed over and slammed the cell door, shouting, "Sir, I killed Jin Laifu, sir! Just arrest me, sir."

Chen Buyu was speechless. "These two people are so eager to die."

Yu Linlang's eyebrows curved, "It's useless. I won't allow the innocent souls to have no place to complain."

Chen Bu Yu was filled with awe.
