Chapter 25 Confrontation [Thanks to alliance head Fengya]

"Was it really because of you?"

Miss Yu exclaimed in shock.

As far as her coachman was concerned, she definitely trusted him more, and now that he had admitted it, it must be true.

Feng Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes gleaming as he clasped his hands and bowed. "Miss, this coachman brother has confirmed it in person, please order immediately to punish Zhang Xuan..."

Mo Yanxue furrowed her brows and looked over, "Do you have anything else to say?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I... causing death by mistreatment?"

Zhang Xuan clenched his teeth, a look of grievance on his face. He suddenly turned his head to the coachman, "Firstly, you and I just met today. How would you know if I've mistreated any horses? Secondly, since you're certain that Suxiang died because of my mistreatment, may I ask how it actually died? And exactly when did it die?"

"This..."

Caught off guard by his detailed questioning, the coachman dared not meet his gaze and shrank back, his tone somewhat unconfident, "It was just after you and the miss left, it couldn't endure and died..."

"No!"

Zhang Xuan immediately interrupted before he could finish, "Just now Housekeeper Feng clearly said it was two timings after we left that it couldn't endure and fell dead. How come according to you, it died just after we left?"

This was a common strategy used by police in former lives to create divisions during interrogations.

Sitting in the carriage, he knew that this coachman had colluded with Housekeeper Feng. The conversation just now had already revealed that they hadn't discussed the detailed process of Suxiang's death in depth. With this in mind, he could break through from here.

As expected, upon hearing this, the coachman was taken aback and then awkwardly said, "I remembered wrong...indeed, it died two timings after you left."

"Miss Yu, Miss Mo, and I went into the campus and it didn't last two timings altogether. Are you implying that we already came out and the horse hadn't died yet?"

Zhang Xuan said.

"That, that... it died after you left..." The coachman visibly started to panic.

"It's over..."

Feng Jin turned pale as he hadn't expected Zhang Xuan to react so quickly.

Knowing that the other party had become unconfident, Zhang Xuan did not continue to press him, but instead turned around and clasped his hands, "City Lord, Miss, Miss Yu, as you can see, this coachman's words don't hold, he must be lying. I kindly ask you all to clear my name!"

Mo Yanxue raised her fine eyebrows, turning to look at Miss Yu.

Anyone who wasn't foolish could now see that the coachman was problematic.

Understanding her best friend's intentions, Miss Yu burst out angrily, "What exactly is going on? If you dare to utter another piece of nonsense, would you believe that I could have someone throw you out and beat you to death right now?"

Pale-faced, Feng Jin collapsed to the ground.

The other party had spoken in such detail that he felt saying more would also be indefensible.

"As a steward, enjoying the Mo Family's great kindness, not only did you fail to repay it, but you also killed my Suxiang horse and pinned the crime on someone else. This is a grave sin..."

With a gesture of her jade hand, Mo Yanxue's voice was tight with tension.

"Miss, I am innocent..."

Feng Jin cried out, "The Suxiang did die by crashing into the wall, I admit I had my faults... But the injury was real, especially the abdominal wound. I swear to heaven, I did not inflict it."

Mo Yanxue, "If not you, then who?"

Feng Jin, "After the Suxiang crashed into the wall and died, Wu Xiang and I were handling the body when we discovered that it had been severely wounded beforehand, its abdomen cut open. It had been stitched up before, so it had gone unnoticed... I believe it was definitely Zhang Xuan who did it trying to tame it.

Unable to withstand the physical and mental pain, the Suxiang crashed into the wall and died after I touched it..."

"Even now, you're still trying to pin this on me..."

Zhang Xuan said, "Since you claim, this wound is not yours, do you have proof? Or else, you say it's mine, do you have proof?"

"I..."

Feng Jin fell silent, then turned his head, "Wu Xiang can testify!"

"Yes, I can testify, what Housekeeper Feng said is true..." Wu Xiang hastily said.

"You're testifying too? Didn't you also say it was me who killed the Suxiang?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "You two are in collusion. Your words can no longer be taken as evidence!"

"Miss..." Wu Xiang hurriedly looked up.

Mo Yanxue, "Zhang Xuan is right, your words can no longer be taken as evidence. Feng Jin, if you don't have any other evidence, then the wound is indeed left by you!"

Feng Jin tried to explain, but found indeed no way to do so. Anxious, he suddenly spoke, "Miss, think about it, since the Suxiang horse is already dead, why would I cut open its belly? It would only bring me trouble. Therefore, this wound must have been there before..."

"Irrelevant?"

Before Mo Yanxue could speak, Zhang Xuan glanced sharply over, "If I recall correctly... the Suxiang had swallowed a Moyun jade stone, right? I wonder if that could be a reason or... relevance!"

"That's right! The Moyun jade is very precious. Liu Mingyue lost it and was so upset she cried. Whoever gets it can sell it for a tremendous price!"

Yu Xiaoyu quickly nodded in agreement.
