Chapter 67: Witnesses

Wei Yan's heart trembled.

The one wearing the official uniform belt and ribbon is the court captain Cheng Wang Yan.

The owner of Liufu used to be an official, and now that the orphans and widows died tragically, he naturally came to check it out in person.

The four corpses that were hanging were all bloody, and there were bloody holes in the abdomen with sword stabs, so naturally they did not hang themselves, but were killed and then hung on the beams of the house.

Who is it that has such a deep hatred for this orphan and widow?

Cui'er, the only surviving maid, told the reason.

When Wei Yan was escorted in, Cui'er suddenly pointed at him and cried, "My lord, it's him!" That's him! During the day yesterday, it was he who despised the eldest lady, kissed and touched the eldest lady, and the slave saw it with his own eyes. ”

"Last night, the slave heard the screams of the eldest lady, suddenly woke up, and when she came out of the house, she saw a figure, wearing this dress, and her figure was the same as him, and she fled in a hurry."

When the slave and maid went to see it, the eldest lady had already suffered a misfortune, and the slave and maid fainted on the spot in fright. When the slave woke up, the body of the eldest lady was gone, and the slave screamed to find the eldest lady and the second lady, but suddenly saw blood stains outside the house, and when the slave and maid came in, they saw it...... Woohoo......"

"I saw the eldest lady and the second lady, as well as the eldest lady and the second lady, all hanging here...... Woowoo...... Your Excellency, you must be the master of the slave. ”

Wang Yan stared at the young man in front of him gloomily, and said angrily: "Don't hurry up and recruit from the truth!" ”

Liu Yi next to him said loudly: "She lied! My lord, Brother Yan and I were both drinking in the Horse Mansion last night, and my son was already drunk and unconscious. Many of the literati of the Horse Mansion and the Horses can testify to both of us. ”

Wang Yan looked at him and said, "What about the future?" You have witnesses, does he have them? ”

As he spoke, his eyes stared at Wei Yan like a knife.

Wei Yan did not speak.

Liu Yi said urgently: "Brother Yan, listen to Wu Wei, didn't you go back to the Drunken Immortal Building last night?" Say it quickly. ”

Wei Yan was silent for a moment, and Fang said, "I went to the Qinglou last night." ”

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in disbelief.

I'm drunk like that, can I still go to the Qinglou?

Wei Yan looked at Ting Weicheng in front of him and said, "My lord, the Tingxue girl of Qingyue Tower and others can all testify for you. ”

Wang Yan sneered: "Your friend said that you were drunk and unconscious, but you said that you went to the Qinglou, then, your drunkenness must be pretending." ”

"When your friend left, you deliberately went to Qingyue Tower to let others see it, and then, you went to the Tingxue girl and stunned her, but pretended to spend the night with her."

"Actually, you have already walked through the window and come to this mansion, wanting to spoil the eldest lady of this Liufu, but you were discovered by her sister and others, and then you didn't do anything and killed them all!"

"You already saw it in front of so many people during the day, and when you drank at night, you were naturally bold and came while the wine was strong, right?"

Wei Yan looked up at the corpse above, his heart was blocked, and said: "My lord, since I have gone to the Qinglou, I will naturally have a girl to sleep with, why do I want to go near and far to do such a crime?" ”

Wang Yan sneered and said, "Naturally, the eldest lady of this Liufu is more beautiful and cleaner, and you already have bad intentions during the day!" ”

Liu Yi on the side had already said loudly: "My lord, during the day yesterday, Miss Liu drowned and died, so Brother Yan's rescue was not light. ”

After that, he glared angrily at the maid and said, "Are you not blind?" Why don't you say these words? ”

The maid lowered her head, trembled, and did not speak.

Wang Yan scolded coldly: "If you don't let you speak, you will shut up the old man!" With an old man here, do you dare to intimidate witnesses? ”

Liu Yi's face was full of anger, and when he spoke, Wei Yan said: "Sick, needless to say, don't you understand this?" ”

This is deliberately framed and blamed.

How could it be so coincidental?

Yesterday they just came to Liufu, today Liufu two pairs of mother and daughter and a maid were killed, even more coincidentally, since they all killed five people, there is still time to hang the mother and daughter on the beam, why did they let this maid alone?

Obviously, they need to leave a witness to correct someone.

But what Wei Yan couldn't understand was that this maid was correcting herself, not Liu Aiji.

So, the first person he thought of was Guo Sui, who was scared by him at the beginning.

The eunuch wanted to take revenge on him, so he killed and blamed him.

Other than that, he really couldn't figure out who else he had offended.

As for the people who offend by opening a restaurant, they will not be so vicious.

The two pairs of mother and daughter in Liufu were killed because of him, and no matter what, he had to find out about this matter, otherwise he would have an uneasy conscience for the rest of his life.

"It's done!"

An old man with gray hair, carrying a bamboo basket, came escorted by two small officials.

"Put the bodies down."

The old man looked up, his face expressionless.

Wang Yan commanded, and shouted to his subordinates: "Go and bring the Tingxue girl from Qingyue Tower, and the other people who saw Wei Yan." This officer is here to bring this vicious evil to justice! ”

Wei Yan said suddenly: "My lord, I think it is best to invite Wu Bing and Wu to invite the horse, his old man saw with his own eyes that Zai Xia and Liu Yi had been helped away, and he remembered most clearly when it was at that time." ”

Wang Yan narrowed his eyes and sneered: "You are hinting at this official, you have a lot to do with Wu Yuma, right?" Don't you dare to be an official? Even if the horse himself broke the law, the official will catch it! ”

Wei Yan said: "My lord is thinking a lot, I just think that this matter is very important, and the witnesses must be present." ”

Wang Yan snorted coldly, hesitated for a moment, and said to the little official standing behind him: "Go, invite Wu Fuma, and say that the official wants to ask him to assist in handling a case." ”

The little official received the order and walked away quickly.

Wei Yan then looked at the trembling and crying maid, and said, "My lord, this maid just said that the figure she saw last night is exactly the same as the clothes I am wearing now, right?" ”

Wang Yan said coldly: "Exactly." ”

Wei Yan asked the maid again, "Are you sure?" ”

The maid nodded in horror and cried, "I saw ...... with my own eyes"

Wei Yan nodded, but suddenly looked at Wang Yan and said, "My lord, this is not right, I was obviously wearing blue clothes last night, Liu Aiji, the concubine, and others saw it." I only changed this morning, and if you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask. In this way, my suspicion can be regarded as cleared. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at his clothes carefully, and said secretly in his heart: Brother Yan wore this last night, and he didn't change it at all.

Wang Yan's brows furrowed, and he looked at the maid with gloomy eyes.

The maid trembled and cried, "No, my lord, slave and maid...... The slave was too scared just now, but in fact, the slave ...... The slave didn't see what the man was wearing last night......

As soon as he finished saying this, Wei Yan suddenly said again: "Really? That's a shame. Actually, last night, I wore this dress. ”

Maiden: "......"
