Chapter 447: The Shadow of the Old Man
"Who are you instructed by?"
Zou Yu didn't believe what he said.
"Lord Hui, there is no one to instruct this, purely because I personally had a holiday with these people in prison, I also drank a little wine that day, I was dazed, and I suddenly felt very angry in my heart, so I did this."
"The warden of Jianyì added a charcoal basin to the cell, placed poison in the charcoal basin, and poisoned these people with the help of charcoal burning, such a series of planned behaviors were actually just because they were drunk?"
Zou Yu asked rhetorically.
"My lord, what do you want me to say before you believe it? I have been in conflict with these people for a long time, buying charcoal pots and the like, I did it when I was sober, I had such an idea at that time, but because I was sober, I didn't have the courage to do it, but as soon as I got drunk that day, I didn't care about anything with the strength of alcohol. β
"You're shitting! We are all small traders, where do we dare to disagree with you and do such a hurtful thing, and we are not afraid of cutting off our children and grandchildren!! β
"My lord, please do justice and pull this person out and behead ......"
"Beheaded? Just cutting him cheaper! If you want me to say that it should be a thousand cuts!! βββ
The families of the dead prisoners and the onlookers were once again excited.
But this time, Zou Yu didn't stop it immediately, looking at the noisy crowd outside the court, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although the process was difficult and reluctant, but this matter finally had an unpleasant result.
*
Zou Yu announced the adjournment, and the warden and cell boss were re-detained. Although this matter is not completely over, he can finally get out. The people and their families pointed all the fingers at the cell head, which somewhat eased the relationship between the Rongzhou government and the people.
Ye Xiaoyu slowly moved his steps in the crowd, and went around in a big circle, it turned out that the poison was still a thousand soul flower, and the so-called ignition of the charcoal basin on the spot just now was just an experiment to test who was the murderer. Zou Yu is really bold in doing this, he is right today, so it is logical. If you are mistaken, if there is no murderer in this at all, if the cell boss does not have the IQ to go offline and cover his mouth and nose with his hand. Say the name of the poison again. So how is he going to end up?
But this is just a "if", and this matter can barely be resolved.
There were a lot of people who came to observe, and they walked for a long time. Ye Xiaoyu has not yet walked out of the door of the court.
As he was walking, he was bumped on the shoulder by a man who squeezed from the side. Ye Xiaoyu raised her head suddenly. I didn't see the person who hit me, but I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far away.
The figure was so familiar, so familiar that she couldn't believe her eyes.
It was a sunny back. Ye Xiaoyu felt that she would not admit her mistake, but she was full of disbelief. How is that possible? This is Rongzhou, separated from Yuejing by 108,000 miles, and now he is a colt, how could he come here and appear in the court?
Although he thought like this in his heart, his steps unconsciously became faster, and during the process, he pushed away a few people who were blocking the front, but even so, when Ye Xiaoyu walked outside the door of the public hall, he was still separated from the back by a long distance.
It was cloudy, the ground was damp, and the cold wind was still cold and biting, but Ye Xiaoyu didn't care about these at all, she walked forward quickly, and in the end, she simply ran all the way.
The figure walked very fast, looking at the approaching distance, Ye Xiaoyu was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out. I haven't seen him for a few years, Qinglang seems to have grown taller, but his walking posture is still the same as before, and from his back, Ye Xiaoyu can tell that he is now paralyzed.
"Sunny ......"
Finally narrowing the distance, Ye Xiaoyu was about to scream, when suddenly a carriage crossed in front of her, suffocating the second half of her words back into her throat.
After the carriage passed, there was another distance between her and the figure.
No matter what, if it goes on like this, she will definitely lose it, she must not let such a thing happen, thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu began to shout at the top of her voice while running forward.
"Sunnyβ"
The distance was a bit far, and the surroundings were a little noisy, Ye Xiaoyu screamed a few times in a row, and the figure in front of him stopped.
Seeing the person in front of him stop, Ye Xiaoyu seemed to be frozen by a magical magic, and even the feet that kept running forward began to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't lift it for a while.
Did he stop?
He stopped.
He stopped!!
Ye Xiaoyu couldn't believe his eyes, they were called "sunny", and the person in front of him actually stopped, isn't that equivalent to saying-
That person was Sunny, and she didn't admit it.
The air and sound around him seemed to freeze in an instant, and only Ye Xiaoyu himself was left moving forward, and the person standing not far away.
"Hey!! Sunny - "
After walking behind the man, Ye Xiaoyu shouted loudly.
It is estimated that she hasn't seen her for too long, and she is inexplicably a little nervous now, I hope this facial paralysis man is still the same facial paralysis man she used to be, right?
The man who had been facing away from him turned around.
Boom -
Ye Xiaoyu clearly heard the sound exploding in his head.
Obviously, her expression was so calm that she couldn't calm down, but for some reason, her head was like a thunderbolt.
"This son, you call me?"
Probably frightened by Ye Xiaoyu's expression, the man was stunned for a long time before he asked with a smile.
"You...... Your name is ...... Clear? β
Ye Xiaoyu was so disheartened that she didn't even want to speak.
"No, I don't call it that. I just heard someone barking from behind all the time, so I stopped and looked. β
The man was still smiling.
"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
After using the last bit of strength to finish speaking, Ye Xiaoyu turned around and left dejectedly.
I know that I am not so lucky, people who are far away in the sky, where can I see them if I want to?
"You're a jerk!! βββ
Standing on the street, Ye Xiaoyu shouted.
The love that had been suppressed for a long time gushed out in an instant, and even she couldn't figure it out, was this sentence talking about herself or sunny? I guess it's herself, because she's never hated herself so much as she did at the moment.
The sky was terrible, and Ye Xiaoyu's shouting attracted the side eyes of some passers-by, but she ignored it completely, and just walked forward with a wooden face.
She hadn't gone to the shop on South Street today, she was going there to see how the business was going.
*
"Childe, what I just said is okay, right?"
In the alley, the man said.
"Give."
Sunny took the hat and hid his face in the dark. But he stretched out his hand and handed the man the promised reward.
The man got the money and turned away with a happy face.
In the lonely alley, he was the only one left.
*
"Dad, how's it going?"
As soon as Zou Yu walked to the inner courtyard of the mansion, Zou Youheng quickly greeted him.
He just came up with a bad idea in desperation, and he didn't know if Zou Yu had adopted it.
"Solved."
Tie Yi followed behind him and answered for Zou Yu.
"Huh? It's true?! β
Zou Youheng was a little incredulous, but a little happy.
"Hmm."
Zou Yu nodded.
"That'...... Father...... Are the murderers really those two people? β
Zou Youheng asked again.
The composition of the ashes in the charcoal basin has not been identified, and in the absence of direct evidence to confirm it, if it is really deceived by him, it is really God blessed. He can really go to Shangzhu Incense to repay his vows in two days.
"It was the cell boss, he later confessed. He said he did it all by himself, but I always felt that he was instructed by someone, but I didn't dare to say it for any reason. β
Zou Yu had already walked into the study quickly, Tie Yi stayed outside, and said to Zou Youheng with a smile.
"After that, we can check it again. But Dad finally got out of it. β
Zou Youheng breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past two days, he has hardly slept, and all his thoughts are spent on thinking about how to get Zou Yu out of this matter, although his ideas and ideas are very reluctant and bloody, but fortunately, the final result is good.
It seems that I can go back to the house in the evening to catch up on sleep.
"Although the adult didn't say it explicitly, judging from his expression, I think that this time, the eldest young master, your expression made him very satisfied."
Tie Yi said with a smile.
Zou Yu has always been an unsmiling person, such an appearance, while making him happy and angry, also covers up a lot of his private feelings, such as Zou Youheng, even if he appreciates him more and more in his heart, he still looks cold to him on his face.
"He just can't pull his face down."
Reaching out and patting Zou Youheng's shoulder, Tie Yi added with a smile.
"If I'm satisfied, I don't have to ask for it, and it's already a blessing to be able to let my father not scold me."
Zou Youheng raised the corners of his mouth.
As the adopted son of the Zou family, at a very young age, he learned how to better protect himself in such a deceitful environment. In fact, this kind of preservation is not too difficult, well-behaved and obedient at home, and hanging around outside, as long as you make others believe that you don't care about a qiΔ and have no heart to fight, then it's okay. He's always done that.
Originally, he thought that his life was like this, he was used to being idle, and he didn't have the heart to study, let alone take the imperial examination, anyway, as long as he maintained this state and didn't compete with people of the same clan, he should have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. But he didn't expect that Zou Yu would let him take the children's examination, and then the township examination, forcing him to embark on the road of the imperial examination. Zou Youheng never intended to take such a path, but because it was Zou Yu's order, he had to go.
"Young Master, in fact, you can do many things very well, but why are you not willing to do them?"
Tie Yi looked at the person opposite and asked.
Although he is not Zou Yu's own flesh and blood, but in Zou Youheng's body, there are many shadows of Zou Yu, he is far from the appearance of a hanger in the eyes of outsiders, Zou Yu is also aware of this, so he let Zou Youheng take the road of imperial examination and politics. It's a pity that the person on the other side still doesn't seem to appreciate Zou Yu's good intentions. (To be continued......)
