Tyrant, calm down

Chapter 534 The day of the trial (2)

"There are old and young, and there are several mouths waiting for food in the house. In order to make a living, there is no other way, so the villain has gone astray, ambush in those dark alleys at night, and rob those passing by."

"That night, the villain was in ambush in Liu Lane. He originally wanted to grab a few taels of silver to buy some steamed buns in the next few days, but the villain waited and waited for an entire hour. Alley passed."

"Just when the villain was about to give up and planned to squat in another place, unexpectedly, someone walked over from the alley."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tingdong swallowed with a "gudong", and his body shook even more fiercely than before.

"Your Majesty, the villain really doesn't know that that person is Xuanyuan's national teacher. If the villain knows that that person is Xuanyuan's national teacher, even with the villain's great courage, the villain would not dare to attack Xuanyuan's national teacher ah."

After the words fell, Zhang Tingdong kowtowed his head "thump-thump", each knock was very hard, each sound was clear and loud, hitting the heart of the person.

"Your majesty, you killed Xuanyuan's national teacher. The villain knows that he has committed a heinous crime and cannot escape death. The villain only asks the emperor to forgive him and let the villain's family go. The family has nothing to do, they are innocent."

Murong's face was serious, and he stopped with a voice: "Your family's affairs are not urgent for now, you first tell me how you robbed Zuo Guoshi's money, how you got into a dispute with him, and then killed him by mistake. clear."

"Yes, yes, the villain will say it, the villain will say it." Zhang Tingdong stopped kowtowing and echoed repeatedly.

"I was hiding behind a bamboo basket and waited for that person to approach, then I came out from behind the bamboo basket and rushed towards that person."

"At that time, I just wanted to steal money and didn't want to hurt his life, but I didn't know that he was holding on to his purse and swearing."

"At that time, I found out that there was a lot of silver in his wallet, and I thought that if I did this, I might not have to work hard for the next month or two, so I couldn't let him go."

"Later... the villain can't remember clearly what happened afterwards, I just remember that we fought, and when the villain woke up, the money bag was already in the villain's hands, and as for the national teacher, he had already fallen to the ground."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tingdong lowered his waist even lower, as if waiting to be punished.

Murong was exhaling heavily, looking at Xuanyuan Mirror below.

"My lord, what else do you want to ask?"

Fingers silently knocked on the armrest of the seat, Xuanyuan Jing narrowed his eyes, staring at Zhang Tingdong faintly.

After a while, he spoke, his voice was as cold as the cold water and wind in winter.

"Do you remember how many times you stabbed Zuo Guoshi?"

Zhang Tingdong trembled all over, and said in a trembling voice: "It seems... It seems to be three swords, and it seems to be four swords."

"Then do you remember where you stabbed him?"

"This... villain was emotional at the time, he only knew he was stabbing wildly with the dagger, and he didn't pay attention to where he stabbed Zuo Guoshi."

"Gu will ask you one last question, is there gravel in that alley?"

"Gravel?" Zhang Tingdong was startled, a little confused as to why Xuanyuanjing would ask such a question.

Murong Jin and the others didn't tell him about the crushed stones in advance, so he didn't know how to answer.

He wanted to secretly raise his head to ask Murong Jin's opinion, but when he thought that Xuanyuan Jing was staring at him at the moment, he would definitely reveal his secret when he raised his head. After thinking about it, he tremblingly said: "It seems... yes."
