Chapter Seventy-Nine: Interrogation
"Brother, wake up, I'm Yue'er, Yue'er has come to see you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" She sobbed silently, calling softly through the fence.
Shen Rihui opened his eyes and saw that it was Shen Yueran, his gray eyeballs were bright, and he crawled to the ground and grabbed the fence.
"Yue'er, it's really you, you're here, it's great, my brother just held his breath, I can't close my eyes until I see you." Shen Rihui's voice was hoarse and dry.
Shen Yueran's out-of-shape face made Shen Yueran unable to tell whether he was crying or laughing, she was sad and cried, "Brother said nonsense, you will be fine, Yue'er knows that you have been wronged, and you will definitely be released." ”
Shen Rihui said, "Yue'er, don't cry, I really thought that I wouldn't be able to see you anymore, it's good that you come, my brother can explain to my father." ”
Hearing Shen Rihui's word "death", Shen Yueran's heart became even more uncomfortable.
She wiped away her tears, held Shen Rihui's hand and said, "Brother, don't think nonsense, this case is still undecided, you will be fine." As long as you haven't done it, you won't be wronged. Brother, tell Yue'er what happened. ”
Wei Yi behind him also spoke, "Brother Shen family, finding out the truth is the top priority. ”
Shen Rihui said "oh oh" twice and said to Shen Yueran, "Even if he is beaten like this now, my brother still doesn't know what happened. On the eighth day of the first day of the first month, I went to Jinmantang to start work as usual, and around midnight, the white butler came to call me, saying that there was a package to be delivered to the dock. Because I used to run errands for the white housekeeper before, I didn't look at it, picked up the package and left. Jin Mantang is not far from the wharf, I did not take a carriage, and walked all the way to the wharf alone.
When I arrived at the dock, the boatman named Zhao Anyang was already waiting. I handed him the package and went back the way I came. This is a sparse and ordinary trivial matter, but this morning Lord Yin said something to steal the beams and change the pillars, the inside and the outside, to the effect that I used the work of working in Jinmantang on weekdays to make a fake gold leaf bowl, and then took advantage of the delivery time to change the real gold leaf bowl on the road.
Brother is really inexplicable, don't say I can't think of such a trick, even if I can think of it, I don't have such a ability. If I can make a fake gold leaf bowl, and I still need to be the most tiring grinder in Jinmantang, wouldn't I have gone to cast the mold with the second young master a long time ago? ”
After listening to this, Wei Yi thought for a while and asked, "Have you met anyone or anything along the way?" ”
Shen Rihui said, "No, I went alone, I went back alone, I don't remember who I met, and I don't remember what I encountered." ”
Wei Yi asked again, "Do you think there was anything abnormal about Bai Shigang or Zhao Anyang that day?" ”
Shen Rihui said, "Shipwright Zhao Anyang Xiaomin has never seen it before, so I can't say anything abnormal." When Xiaomin handed him the package, he said 'it is in good condition', and then stepped onto the deck. The white housekeeper said that that day was the same as usual, there was no abnormality, and after going back, he gave Xiaomin ten copper plates as usual, which was regarded as a reward. ”
Wei Yi asked, "Have you ever seen Butler Bai take out the gold leaf bowl from the vault?" ”
Shen Rihui said, "No." The vault is heavy and does not allow outsiders to enter, and the white housekeeper asks Xiaomin to wait outside the vault, and what he gives to Xiaomin is a bandaged package. ”
Wei Yi asked, "Do you remember what the characteristics of the package were, what the damage was, what seals it was, and whether it was opened along the way?" ”
Shen Rihui shook his head, "That package is very ordinary, it is made of Jinmantang's red brocade and red forging bundles, and it is no different from the package sent before, there is no damage, there is no seal, and it has never been opened." ”
Wei Yi asked again, "So, you haven't seen that gold leaf bowl at all?" ”
Shen Rihui nodded, "Yes, I didn't see that bowl until I went to the hall today." ”
Wei Yi comforted him and said, "If what you say is all the truth, then don't worry, there may be some misunderstanding in this matter, Lord Fu Yin will definitely return your innocence." ”
Who knew that Shen Rihui shook his head again and again, his eyes were full of frustration, "Master Wei, don't appease Xiaomin, Xiaomin knows that he will not be able to wash himself if he jumps into the river this time." Lord Wei didn't see the battle today, Lord Yin simply didn't allow the people to shout half a sentence of injustice, as soon as they shouted injustice, the adults would use punishment, and as soon as they shouted injustice, they would be tortured. Lord Fu Yin insisted that this matter was done by one or two or even three of the small people, the white housekeeper and the boatman surnamed Zhao, and he said, it must be me and a few others who saw the wealth and rebelled, stole the beams and changed the pillars, hid the real gold leaf bowl, and then made a gold leaf bowl with insufficient color to fool the prince. If Xiaomin wasn't afraid that admitting his guilt would insult the lintel of the Shen family, he really wouldn't be able to hold on. ”
Faced with Shen Rihui's questioning, Wei Yi was embarrassed.
He was indeed placating him.
As he said to Shen Yueran before, this case was taken over by Zhao Xianyang, even if he knew that Shen Rihui was innocent, he was powerless to stop Zhao Xianyang from torturing Shen Rihui without evidence or orders, let alone influence the verdict of the case.
Shen Yueran understood Wei Yi's difficulties, and hurriedly said to Shen Rihui, "Brother, don't be so frustrated, Master Wei has solved countless cases, and he said that you will be fine if you have nothing to do." ”
Shen Rihui said "oh oh" twice, which was a response.
At this time, two officials entered the cell and said that Lord Fu Yin had interrogated the prisoner.
When Shen Rihui heard the word "arraignment", he immediately trembled with fright. He grabbed Shen Yueran's hand tightly and said, "Yue'er, I'm afraid my brother won't survive, you go back and tell your sister-in-law, ask her to take Shen seriously, don't be a widow for me." Also, you must remember the little songs that your mother sang when she put you to bed when you were young, remember, remember, remember......"
Wei Yi's face was like frost, and Shen Yueran watched as the officials dragged Shen Rihui away, hiding her face and crying bitterly.
******
"I'm sorry." Wei Yi lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.
He had to admit that the moment he saw Shen Rihui being taken away just now, there was a sense of guilt in his heart that he had never felt before, and this guilt made him have to examine himself, he was not omnipotent......
"Hmm." Shen Yueran wiped away her tears and raised the corners of her lips when she turned around, "Lord Wei, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to apologize." However, is my brother really going to be wronged like this? The people are not convinced! ”
Wei Yi said, "The difficulty in this case lies in the word evidence. Lord Fu Yin was arraigned one after another, and he thought that he had no evidence, hoping to get a strong confession. As long as the eldest brother of the Shen family insists that he is innocent, he will eventually be innocent. ”
Shen Yueran couldn't help but be angry, and said her question for the second time, "Why doesn't Lord Fu Yin believe my brother's words?" It's obvious that there is a problem with the bowl, why do you want to say that there is a problem with the person! The golden gold leaf bowl had an accident not once or twice, why did Boss Zhou suspect that there must be an internal ghost? ”
Wei Yi was stunned, "You said that Jin Mantang's gold leaf bowl also had an accident before?" ”
Shen Yueran was also stunned, "Don't you know?" Then she told all the gossip that Wu Zhaoyan had gossip on the welcome floor a few months ago.
Wei Yi couldn't help frowning. (To be continued.) )
