Chapter 889 - 889: Confessed!
It was only the ninth day of the first lunar month. The New Year would only be over after the 15th day of the first lunar month. Jiangs family had died. Jiangs relatives felt that it was going to be an unlucky year. Moreover, Jiangs family had died because of greed.
No one was willing to deal with Jiangs family’s funeral.
The people of Willow Village had no choice but to take action; they couldn’t just let Jiangs family rot in the village. Therefore, the village chief took the lead. The village didn’t hold any funerals. They only dug some graves hastily. Before the morning was over, everyone in Jiangs family that died that night was buried.
Usually, it was important to honor the dead. No matter what happened to the dead before they died, they would not say anything more after they died. However, there were still many people in Willow Village who could not help but curse at the Jiang family’s incident.
They had to help bury a dead person during the new year.
In the morning, Xia Han came from the back and whispered something to
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan then went to the back.
Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin were waiting for them.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could tell that the warrior must have confessed to everything even before Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin said anything.
They couldn’t let Shao Youyue hear about this, lest she worry.
Therefore, even if Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin came, they only glanced at Shao Youyue before coming out of the small house and jumping over the wall.
At this moment, they were standing by the tree behind their house.
With the small tree as a cover, they felt more at ease sharing the news.
Xue Yan opened the back door and followed Jiang Yue out of the backyard. They stopped in front of Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin.
Qi Yin was like a speaker for Shao Zhongxi. Shao Zhongxi was clearly present, but Qi Yin immediately spoke and reported the news in a hushed voice.
“Crown Prince and Jiang Yue, the warrior confessed and said that Prince Yi was the one who sent him here. He said that besides him, Prince Yi has four other warriors. Originally, there was one more warrior who came with him, but that man went back four days ago.
“Prince Yi had sent him to Xinyuan County with that warrior to do three things. One was to go to Zhu Village and kill Zhu Laicai and Zhu Xiuhua. The second was to come to Locust Village to see if he could kill the Empress and the child in her stomach. The third was to investigate you.
“He also said that Prince Yi told them to be weary of Jiang Yue. They were told to immediately report what was wrong if anything happened.
“They asked him how Prince Yi knew about Zhu Laicai and Zhu Xiuhua. He couldn’t explain it clearly because he was just following orders. Prince Yi only told them to go to the Zhu household and kill Zhu Laicai and Zhu Xiuhua.
“If they hadn’t coincidentally heard on the streets that His Highness had taken away the household register of the Wei family and the Zhu couple, and if they hadn’t also discovered that there were people secretly watching the Zhu family, they might have already taken the risk to kill the old couple.
“Prince Yi told them that Wei Zizhan wasn’t the Crown Prince. He even sent a suicide soldier to capture all the family members who were protecting Wei Zizhan. He used this to threaten the Royal Guards, making them kill Wei Zizhan and commit suicide after.
“We asked him how Prince Yi knew that the Empress was pregnant here, he said that Prince Yi didn’t know but he guessed that Wei Zizhan told Prince Yi.”
