Chapter 207: Burning Dream (7)

Yu Chusheng didn't expect that early in the morning, Zhang Er would send someone to the palace to tell Yu Chusheng that the case of Liu's mansion being burned had been closed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Obviously, the clues were still a mess yesterday, and she was still racking her brains to figure out where to start.

Yu Chusheng asked the official who sent the message to know that it turned out that early this morning, Li Yuan went to the yamen to confess.

said that she was the murderer, and she set fire to the entire Liu Mansion.

In addition, the subordinate of Liu Mansion testified that he did see Li Yuan in the mansion the night before yesterday, as well as Yu Pei's stubble, and now she admitted it herself, so the case was closed.

Yu Chusheng didn't believe it, she didn't believe that Li Yuan was the murderer.

But how is it that a man who refused to admit that he was a criminal yesterday came to confess his guilt overnight and in the morning?

Could it be something that happened? Yu Chusheng didn't even eat breakfast, so he rushed to the mansion.

She didn't want to spare a single sinner, and of course, she didn't want to wronged an innocent person.

When he arrived, the official was escorting Li Yuan to prison, while Liu Xi and a man were standing there. The man and Liu Xi looked quite alike, so Yu Chusheng thought that it should be Liu Yuanwai.

The man looked to be forty or fifty years old, but his body looked quite strong, but his face was a little haggard.

As soon as Yu Chusheng arrived, he heard the man ask in disbelief: "Yuan'er, is it really you?" ”

Li Yuan nodded, and there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes.

The man sighed, his tone a little sad: "It turns out that you still hate me all along, don't you?" ”

Li Yuan didn't answer, just glanced at Liu Xin, and saw that the man's expression had been very light, so he lowered his eyes and prepared to follow the servant.

"You guys"? Who is it referring to? And why hate him? Yu Chusheng didn't understand what Liu Yuanwai meant.

But immediately stopped: "Wait. ”

Zhang Er saw Yu Chusheng coming, greeted him, and made it clear in a few words, just like the official who sent the message said, Li Yuan came to confess his guilt this morning.

The human and material evidence is complete, and Li Yuan himself admitted it, so the case can be closed.

Yu Chusheng nodded towards Zhang Er, but walked towards Li Yuan and said, "Li Yuan, are you really the murderer?" ”

Li Yuan hung his head, hesitated slightly, glanced at Liu Xin unconsciously, and then said firmly: "I am the murderer, I set fire to Liu's mansion." ”

She's lying. Yu Chusheng didn't expose her, but just continued to ask: "Why do you want to do this?" ”

Li Yuan hesitated for a while, as if he still needed to think about why he did this.

After a while, she remembered something, raised her head suddenly, looked at Liu Yuanwai, and said, "Because I hate him." He pointed to Liu Yuanwai.

It seems that there is really a reason for this?

Yu Chusheng temporarily abandoned the idea of who the real murderer was, and asked, "Why do you hate him?" Isn't the relationship between the two of you very good? ”

Rake up the past.

It turns out that the relationship between the Liu family and the Li family has always been very good, and Liu Yuanwai and Li Yuan's father are also brothers.

It can be said that they share weal and woe, so they even give the children of the two families a finger for marriage.

But five years ago, Liu Yuanwai and Li Yuan's father went to other places together, similar to investigating the market, to see which fabric was the most popular.

One of the two families used to run a weaving workshop and the other a dyeing workshop.

When the coiling of the two people was almost exhausted, they began to return from other places to Kyoto, but when they passed through the mountains and forests, they encountered bandits.

The bandits, seeing that they had little of value on them, but that they were well dressed, wanted to ask them for more silver.

The bandits said to leave one person hostage, and the other would go back to fetch the gold and send it to the bandits' den.

Li Yuan's father stayed in the bandits' den as a hostage, while Liu Yuanwai was put back to take silver from the bandits.

But there are many bandits, and Liu Yuanwai is actually a very stingy person, and the silver that the bandits want can make the two families bankrupt.

Liu Yuanwai has been contradictory, at that time, the official in Kyoto was still an improper official, he knew that it was useless to find the government, and he himself did not dare to go to the bandits' den rashly, it was a group of bandits who killed people without blinking.

In addition, Liu Yuanwai was fascinated by ghosts at that time, and in order to keep his money, he had a long conflict, but he didn't tell the Li family.

Instead, he lied to the Li family, Li Yuan's father still had some things to do in the field, and he would come back in a few days.

The time agreed with the bandits passed quickly, and Liu Yuan was in a panic, so he didn't say anything about it.

Soon, someone found the body of Li Yuan's father in the mountains and forests, which was cut to pieces by bandits.

Later, the Li family sent someone to find out the facts, and Li Yuan's mother also died depressed because of this incident.

Liu Yuanwai was also guilty, at that time, Li Yuan had not yet married Liu Yuan, Liu Yuanwai took Li Yuan to Liu's Mansion, and all the subordinates of Li's Mansion were dismissed, probably because of guilt, they didn't dare to go to Li's Mansion again, and Li's Mansion was idle.

Now Li Yuan is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and five years ago, she was still a little girl, Liu Yuanwai probably didn't expect that Li Yuan had always hated this matter and hated him.

He has actually felt guilty all these years, so every time Li Yuan's father's death day, he always stays in the cemetery for a long time.

Li Yuan's father had a good relationship with her mother, so the two of them were buried together, and the death day was counted as a day.

After listening to it, Yu Chusheng still felt suspicious.

If Li Yuan really hated Liu Yuanwai as she said, why did she hurriedly go to the study to save Liu Xin after setting the fire, and also saved Liu Yuanwai?

If it was really her own fire, why was her face still burned?

Why did you willingly confess your sins today?

Yu Chusheng didn't have time to ask, so the official escorted Li Yuan and walked in the direction of the prison.

Just after walking a few steps, a crisp sound came, and Yu Chusheng subconsciously looked at the ground and saw that something had fallen out of Li Yuan's sleeve.

Yu Chusheng was stunned and ran over, while Li Yuan was also squatting on the ground and picking up the thing.

Li Yuan hurriedly prepared to stuff things into his sleeves, but was held down by Yu Chusheng.

It is exactly the same jade pendant as yesterday, but the difference is that this piece of jade pendant is intact, and there is no trace of being burned by fire at all.

The red rope is also intact, hanging on the light cyan jade pendant, which is inexplicably good-looking.

The color is very bright, it looks moist, and it is a good jade. There is an entangled pattern on it, a circle on the outside, and there is also a word inside, like a word, but Zhang Er said, it is not a word.

Clean.

Not yesterday's piece. Yu Chusheng remembered something, she was carrying yesterday's jade pendant on her body, she took it out of her sleeve, glanced at Li Yuan, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
