Chapter 272: The old case is reopened and he commits suicide
Jasmine's words suddenly surprised everyone, no one would have thought that the most important girl next to the old lady would burst out such words in public, it seems that this is really frightened, and she poured out everything in one go, and she didn't dare to hide half a point at all.
"Nonsense, you shut up for me! Shut up! Mrs. Ye never expected that Jasmine would come out like this, and for a while, the whole person was so shocked that she almost turned her back on her anger, and subconsciously scolded loudly.
"Old lady, please respect yourself, when this official is trying the case, no one can be so presumptuous!" Lord Qiu's eyes sank, and he immediately knew that this could be regarded as another big old case, so he immediately scolded Old Madam Ye and prevented her from stopping Jasmine's confession.
And this will work, Princess Zhaohua's complexion has also changed again, but Lord Qiu has already made it clear in the past, and she really can't get too involved, otherwise it will only arouse suspicion.
"Jasmine, the official asked you, is what you said just now true?" Ignoring no one else, Lord Qiu immediately asked Jasmine again.
"My lord, the people are true, and they don't dare to say half a lie."
Although Jasmine was nervous and worried, but the matter had come to this point, she also looked like she didn't dare to hide it at all, and she confessed everything to get her innocence, so as not to be implicated in those things she couldn't afford.
"Okay, then the official will ask you again, how did the Ye Liu family and the eldest young master of the Ye family die fifteen years ago, why did the old lady say that if the eldest lady of the Ye family finds out the real cause of death, the Ye family will be completely finished?" Lord Qiu's face was expressionless, and his attitude couldn't be more obvious. If this is true, then of course, it is impossible for him, as an officer, to know and not do it.
Lord Qiu is such a person, if the case didn't hit him, it would be fine, but once he bumped into it, he must find out before he is worthy of this official uniform!
Seeing this, Jasmine hurriedly replied: "Back to the adult, the folk girl doesn't know too much, Ye Liu and the eldest young master were indeed burned to death by the fire back then, but the fire was not a simple accident, but someone deliberately set it on fire." As for why the old lady said that once the eldest lady finds out the truth. The Ye family is done with such words. The folk girl doesn't know what the reason is, and please let the adults know it, and the rest, the folk girl really doesn't know anything! ”
"Lord Qiu. You listen to me. It's not what the slave said! "Old Madam Ye naturally doesn't dare to take care of anyone indiscriminately. Instead, he knelt down directly and hurriedly said to Lord Qiu: "The old body has really never said such a thing in the small Buddha hall, and I don't know why the personal maid next to me suddenly made up these crazy words to wrongfully frame me, I ......"
"Lord Qiu. Nianchen has something to say, please ask Lord Qiu for permission! ”
At this moment, Ye Nianchen got up directly and walked into the hall, saluting and making a request to Lord Qiu with a sad face.
And Lord Qiu saw Ye Nianchen's expression like this, but he also had some understanding, after all, the thing that the girl suddenly mentioned just now involved Ye Nianchen's biological mother and brother, if she didn't care about it, then it was called a problem.
"Miss Ye has something to say, this official should only listen carefully!" Master Qiu is also very generous, and he doesn't care about the eyes and opinions of others, and once he decides that it is feasible, he will do it directly.
"Thank you, sir!" After Ye Nianchen thanked him, he didn't delay, and immediately said: "Since Nianchen returned to Beijing, he has heard a lot of rumors about the accident of his biological mother and brother fifteen years ago, and it is rumored that the fire burned inexplicably, and the death of his mother and brother is even more suspicious!" Nianchen is a child, after hearing this, he has been unable to let go, if they really died in vain, if Nianchen can't find out the truth of the year, and give them justice, I'm afraid that this life will not be able to meet his mother and brother under the yellow spring. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Nianchen's eyes were already filled with tears, she knelt down straight, and continued to Lord Qiu: "My lord, Nianchen has been investigating the old things of the past these days, hoping to find out the truth, so that I can report the case to the government and return justice to them!" can only be Nian Chen's small strength, plus many people and things seem to have disappeared out of thin air, so that the investigation is difficult to carry out, without evidence, Nian Chen can't do anything. But I never thought that Huang Tian lived up to his heart, and today Nianchen actually heard the personal maid next to his grandmother say such a secret in public, which is enough to make Nianchen believe that my poor mother and brother died unjustly! ”
"Nianchen heard that the adults have always been clear and fair, and I also ask the adults to make decisions for Nianchen, re-examine the old things, restore the truth of the matter, and give justice to the deceased!"
In the last sentence, the tears in Ye Nianchen's eyes had already flowed, and she solemnly kowtowed to Lord Qiu, which was on behalf of her mother and brother who died in vain!
Everything at the moment made Lord Qiu unavoidably moved.
He naturally heard about the Ye family's incident fifteen years ago, but he didn't take over the handling back then, and he quickly stopped by accident.
In addition, not long after Princess Zhaohua married the Ye family, no one dared to mention the old accident.
Even so, Lord Qiu could have thought that the matter back then was not so simple, after all, the royal princess was involved here, and the cause of death of Ye Liu and the child became more and more complicated.
Back then, he didn't ask much about it, but he had heard a lot of rumors about the old incident recently, and then connected with the various ugly things that happened to Ye Jiaming now, the inside story also appeared in his heart.
It's not nice to say, the key to this case at this time is whether you dare to take it, and whether you dare to re-file the case to really investigate!
Lord Qiu didn't reply to Ye Nianchen immediately, as if he was thinking about something.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely strange, whether it was the Ye family or Princess Zhaohua, all of them couldn't help but write worried expressions on their faces, but they couldn't say a word, and they didn't dare to speak at will.
And Ye Nianchen didn't urge and persecuted, just knelt there quietly and waited, waiting for Lord Qiu to make the final decision by himself.
To file a case or not to file a case, whether she is willing to restore the truth and seek justice for her unjustly killed mother and brother, all the decisions. At this moment, it was just a thought of Lord Qiu.
Everyone can see that the key to Lord Qiu's hesitation at the moment, once this case is really re-investigated, maybe he will offend some big people, because of this, it is normal for Lord Qiu to be a little undecided.
Just when everyone was speculating about Lord Qiu's thoughts, Lord Qiu broke the incomparably oppressive silence brought by him on his own.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Wei Chen thinks that the fire of the Ye family fifteen years ago caused the death of Ye Liu's mother and son, and there are indeed doubts. Today, there was a confession from the maid next to Mrs. Ye, which clearly pointed out that there was a lot of hidden truth in the events of the year. Second, the direct daughter of the deceased questioned the truth of the case. It is the sum of the two that fully meets the conditions and principles of filing a case for re-investigation! ”
Lord Qiu was unexpected, and directly asked the crown prince Li Zhi for instructions: "Because of this, Weichen hopes to handle this case and re-investigate the truth of the fire in Yefu back then. I don't know if the prince will allow it! ”
Hear this. Li Zhi couldn't help but look at Lord Qiu and shook his head and smiled: "Lord Qiu, Lord Qiu." You really have a clear mind, and as a servant of the Criminal Department, you have enough power to decide whether to re-examine an old case. What's more, as you also said, now that this case fully meets the conditions for re-filing and re-investigation, why do you need additional permission from the crown prince? ”
"This ......" Lord Qiu was a little embarrassed at the moment, but he still didn't hide it, and explained truthfully: "It's not a secret, Wechen is not afraid of anything, but I am worried that once it is really accepted, it may encounter many resistance that Wechen cannot break through, and it is because Wechen hopes to get the support of His Royal Highness the Prince, since he has taken over, he should thoroughly find out the truth and return the deceased to a due justice!" ”
These words suddenly made Lord Qiu's entire image extremely tall, and even Ye Nianchen didn't expect that Lord Qiu was thinking about these things in silence before.
It is difficult to be a clean official who is not afraid of the powerful, but it is even more difficult to be a good official who is not afraid of the powerful and can still adhere to his heart and uphold justice!
But Lord Qiu not only did it, but also did it very wisely, at least he knew how to borrow the prince's power reasonably, not to find any way out for himself, but to seek a more fair trial for the case!
At this moment, Li Zhi was a little stunned, although he was prepared for this at the beginning of the fight, and secretly pushed Lord Qiu to take over, but he never thought that Lord Qiu had already made an admirable decision in the heart of justice and justice.
"Good! What a Qiu Qingguan, since you can do such a job for the justice of the case, then how can this palace be unreasonable! ”
Li Zhi said sincerely: "Please rest assured, Lord Qiu, from now on, no matter what Lord Qiu wants to do, as long as it is right, this palace will protect it with all its might, and no one will affect your justice!" ”
"Thank you, Prince! Weichen will live up to the prince's expectations, re-file the case, make every effort to investigate, and definitely find out the truth as soon as possible! ”
Lord Qiu was grateful at the moment, although he knew in his heart that the relationship between the prince and Ye Nianchen was not shallow, and it was reasonable that he should go down, but he could indeed feel that when Li Zhi looked at him at this moment, there was heartfelt appreciation and respect in his eyes!
"Nianchen would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the late mother and brother, and thank you Lord Qiu!" Ye Nianchen was also excited, even if he had been mentally prepared early in the morning, but when it was time to file a case for his mother and brother again, he still couldn't help the emotion in his heart.
At this point, the reversal of the case is a foregone conclusion, and everyone in the Ye family stays there but can't do anything.
And Princess Zhaohua's face was even whiter and blacker, black and green, and the whole person was a little shaky, but she trembled subconsciously, and her eyes went back and forth with anxiety and horror, not knowing what to look at.
The prince didn't say much, but Lord Qiu officially announced to everyone alone, one is to re-investigate the case of Ye Liu's mother and son who died in a fire fifteen years ago, and the other is that the evidence of Mrs. Ye's murder of Princess Zhaohua and Ye Nianchen is conclusive, and she will be immediately brought back to the Criminal Department and put in prison, waiting for her to be released!
After that, Lord Qiu didn't say anything about human feelings, and directly waved his hand, signaling the official to take people forward and arrest the guilty old lady Ye.
"No, no adults!" Seeing this, Ye Feng really couldn't watch his mother being taken away by the Criminal Department like this.
In this way, the Ye family is equivalent to being nailed to the pillar of shame, and there is no way to wash it white, even if a few of them are temporarily saved, what awaits the Ye family in the future is a dead end.
"Lord Ye, although this official and you are colleagues, the official level is still above this official, but you and I have different responsibilities, if Lord Ye insists on obstructing this official's case, then don't blame this official for being unkind!"
Lord Qiu naturally wouldn't be afraid of Ye Feng, Mo said that the crown prince had already made it clear, even if he didn't, he wouldn't bow his head to these magnates.
For Ye Feng, even if Lord Qiu is iron-faced and unemotional, he can't help but be ashamed, he has seen a lot of bad people in this world, but there are really not many people who are as selfish and ruthless as Ye Feng to such a point.
"Lord Qiu Mingjian, Ye did not want to obstruct Lord Qiu's case, but his mother is old and can't bear the pain of prison, and besides, there may be other hidden ......reasons for the matter."
"Lord Ye said cautiously, are you questioning the palace's handling of the case?" Lord Qiu interrupted Ye Feng's words at the moment, and said in a cold voice: "Your mother has already admitted that she made Princess Zhaohua take chronic medicine for a long time, and she also personally admitted that she made these two cups of tea poison today, and the witnesses and evidence are complete, I don't know what else Lord Ye is referring to?" ”
Before Ye Feng could reply, Lord Qiu said again: "According to the official's inference, the so-called secret is nothing more than the truth that the old lady wants to poison Ye Nianchen to prevent him from continuing to investigate for fifteen years, and the murder of Princess Zhaohua is to vent his dissatisfaction, and the second is to make Zhaohua Gong a crazy person, so that his madness will naturally become the scapegoat for Ye Nianchen's murder!" But regardless of whether the case fifteen years ago had anything to do with her or anyone else in the Ye family, in short, the evidence of her murder of the princess and poisoning the tea was conclusive, and there was no problem! ”
"But Lord Qiu, I ......" Ye Feng was speechless for a while, and his whole person was about to go crazy, and he just wanted to ......
It's a pity that he can't do anything and can't do it! That sense of powerlessness and despair suffocated him again, and made him feel that the entire Ye family would end up in ruin.
"Enough, no one needs to say anything, my wife understands everything, understands everything!"
At this moment, Old Madam Ye suddenly shouted, pointed at Ye Nianchen and Princess Zhaohua and scolded: "You two scourges, two great scourges, they are all you, and it is you who have caused my Ye family to be cornered!" I'm really blind, why didn't I kill you earlier, okay, don't be complacent, I won't let you go even if I die! ”
With that, Old Madam Ye slammed straight towards the nearest pillar and hit it headfirst. (To be continued.) )
