Chapter 256: with translation of chapter title

I have to say.

Qiao Jinzhi still isn't very bright; now Shi Lin and the others are searching everywhere for the man she bought, how could they not have the Yamen conduct a thorough search of those entering and exiting?

That's not it.

The maid under her hadn't even had time to run before she was caught.

Not long after.

The city guard discovered the man's corpse in the compartment beneath the collapsed carriage.

"It wasn't us, it wasn't us who did it..."

Mingyu, who served under Qiao Jinzhi, panicked at once, and she quickly shook Qiao Jinzhi out.

After questioning them thoroughly, the city guard escorted them, along with the carriage, to the Yamen.

The Town Magistrate interrogated them briefly, then immediately dispatched Yun Tian and his men to the Zhao Family to fetch Qiao Jinzhi for questioning.

Having received the news early, Qiao Jinzhi was in a terrible state; she hurriedly gathered a few pieces of jewelry, grabbed them, and fled toward the back door, completely unable to attend to her son.

Qiao Sheng knew this would happen two ke later.

Yun Tian sent someone to have Qiao Sheng go to the Yamen, because the two maids reported that this matter involved her.

An Shi, who was at the restaurant, also learned of this; he followed Qiao Sheng to the Yamen, and then gave Shi Lin and the others the Signal Flare.

When Qiao Jinzhi saw Qiao Sheng arrive, she scrambled over: "Sister Lianhua, I was wrong, I was wrong, help me, help me, you're so powerful you can definitely help me."

She kept harming her again and again.

How could Qiao Sheng possibly let her go?

She lifted her foot and kicked her away: "Stay away from me! Me help you? My mind is pretty messed up!"

Seeing Qiao Sheng so resolute.

Qiao Jinzhi, furious, shouted at her: "All this is because of you, all because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have let them lay hands on him, causing the Poison to be too heavy, leading to his death."

The two maids' expressions changed instantly.

"Young Madam, what nonsense are you spouting? The Poison was clearly put by you into his tea. How does it become ours?"

"Exactly!"

The two maids began arguing back and forth, one saying this, the other that.

Qiao Jinzhi, regardless of what they said, insisted that they were the ones who administered it.

The two maids, angry, began wrestling with her.

"Silence!"

The Town Magistrate ignored the summons, had them pulled down, and each was beaten with ten wooden boards, after which they all fell quiet.

"Sir, it wasn't me, it was them, all them..."

Qiao Jinzhi continued to argue.

The Town Magistrate asked the two maids who bought the Poison.

Both maids gave the same answer: Qiao Jinzhi had instructed another maid to purchase the Poison.

The Town Magistrate immediately ordered someone to bring that maid over.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the maid confessed everything.

Qiao Jinzhi collapsed onto the ground, shouting: "You all, you're all in the same gang, you all harmed me, you all harmed me..."

Qu Shi immediately had his son draft a divorce notice.

A woman like that.

His family could no longer have any ties with her.

Qiao Jinzhi almost fainted from anger; she frantically tore the divorce notice they gave.

Qu Shi, with a cold expression, said: "Qiao Shi, tearing it won't help; everyone saw! A poisonous wife like you, our family can't afford!"

Without waiting for Qiao Jinzhi to say anything.

Qu Shi dismissed Zhao Jin and the servants that followed his family.

Zhao Jin had never had much feeling for Qiao Jinzhi; naturally, he wouldn't bother with her, no matter how she shouted, he never turned to look.

Qiao Jinzhi's act of poisoning and murder, then shifting blame to others, is unforgivable.

When Shi Lin arrived, the Town Magistrate was pronouncing the sentence; he sentenced Qiao Jinzhi to be beheaded after autumn.

"No, don't!"

Qiao Jinzhi cried out again, begging Qiao Sheng to help her.

Qiao Sheng hadn't said anything when Shi Lin pulled her away.
