No one wants to see this kind of thing happen on the wedding day. Especially Ye Yu felt very ridiculous, this innocent person had a murder, and it seemed that the marriage was going to be put on hold for the time being.

When he saw the folding fan handed over by Zhang Meng, he knew that this matter was probably not so simple.

The folding fan is indeed his, and it is natural that there is an inscription on it to leave a name, but this folding fan has been lost a few days ago on the Qixi Festival.

Now that this folding fan has reappeared appropriately, this makes Ye Yu sense a hint of ominousness.

Then he returned the folding fan to Zhang Meng, and then said in a deep voice: "It's not a secret, during the Qixi Festival before, this folding fan was lost on the street, and now it must be strange to reappear!" ”

"Since this matter is related to Ye, then Ye will go with Master Zhang."

"That's offended, come on, please go back to Dali Temple for interrogation!"

"Just lead the way ahead, I, Ye Yu, have legs and feet and can walk!" Ye Yu waved his hand and retreated from the errand who came up to escort him.

Then Ye Yu comforted everyone a few words, and then followed the people from Dali Temple to leave the Bachelor's Mansion.

Due to the large number of people who came to congratulate today, this matter came quickly, and everyone was discussing the authenticity of this matter in private, and it became the topic of the entire Lin'an for a while.

When Ye Yu came to Dali Temple, it seemed that all the qiē was ready.

Along the way, Ye Yu also inquired in detail about the case, only to learn that Li Chong died at the fifth watch of Yinshi, and the fatal wound was stabbed in the heart by a sharp blade!

And there is nothing left at the scene except a folding fan!

The court was majestic and quiet, and the officials of each class were on both sides, and among them, a young woman in fine clothes was sitting on the sidelines to listen to the trial.

Looking at the luxury full of pearls and emeralds, and the eyes that had killed thousands of times, Ye Yu knew that this woman should be the princess Li of King Gong Zhao Dandi.

Now that Ye Yu has brought it, Zhang Meng, the secretary of Dali Temple, asked in a deep voice: "Ye Yu, I don't know what you have to say about this murder of Li Chong?" ”

"Master Zhang, what do you want me to say, this Li Chong was not killed by Ye, what can I say?"

"Lord Ye, you can't be safe in this court just because you deny it, now you not only have the motive to kill Li Chong, but also the human and material evidence. If you can't find a reasonable explanation, it will be difficult for the official to let you leave Dali Temple! ”

Ye Yu groaned slightly, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord Zhang, this folding fan was lost at the time of Qixi Festival, as for why it appeared at the scene of the murder now, this Ye Mou does not know......"

As for Mr. Zhang's so-called witnesses, Ye felt that it was even more unreliable. Since Li Chong died at nightlight, how could he see the murderer's appearance clearly? Since you can't see clearly, it's too arbitrary to judge only by vague body shape! ”

Zhang Meng felt that Ye Yu was quite reasonable, but Princess Gong Li did not agree.

glared at Ye Yu fiercely, wiped his tears, and rebuked Ye Yu: "Ye Yu, you don't have to be clever, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?" It's clear that you have a grudge and killed the brother of this palace! ”

"The princess can understand the loss of her relatives Ye Mou, but the fact is such a coincidence, besides, even if Ye Mou has a grudge, why should he do it himself......"

Although Ye Yu was calm at the moment, he was already anxious and uneasy. This time it was really a catastrophe, because he couldn't come up with the so-called evidence to refute it.

"Lord Ye, your one-sided words are really unconvincing, the official asked you, you said that the folding fan was lost, can anyone testify?"

"Yes, but it's the same as nothing!"

"Oh, the testimony of the dearest relatives is not enough!" Zhang Meng has been a Dali Siqing for many years, and he has tried countless cases, and he understood the meaning of Ye Yu's ambiguous words as soon as he heard it.

"Then the official asked you again, where are you on the fifth watch last night, and can anyone testify?"

"Ye was resting in the mansion last night, and everyone in the mansion can testify about this!"

As soon as Ye Yu's words fell, Princess Gong Li snorted coldly: "That is, no one has testified, Lord Zhang, Ye Yu murdered Bengong's own brother, and Bengong let him fight with his life!" ”

Although Princess Gong's words were extreme, what she said was not unreasonable. Although everyone in the academy can testify, it is not very convincing after all.

Ye Yu was also completely speechless at the moment, and said in his heart that I am not staying at home at the moment of this big wedding, will I still be able to wander around?

"Ridiculous, princess, you are sure that Ye murdered Li Chong, I don't know what your intentions are! Since Li Chong was killed by the sharp blade, where is the sharp blade? ”

"This ......"

At this moment, Zhang Meng was also in trouble, and in the face of Princess Gong's pressing step by step, he didn't know how to deal with this case.

Ye Yu is extremely suspicious, and there is not enough evidence of alibi.

But there is one thing that Ye Yu said is very right, that is, to catch thieves and stolen goods, to catch traitors, to catch doubles, and the only witness is only to see the vague outline of the murderer.

So in today's situation, Ye Yu can only be regarded as a suspect, and he has not yet reached the point of suppressing the guilt.

At this moment, a servant entered the lobby and presented something: "Tell your lordship, I found a murder weapon in the Bachelor's Mansion!" ”

"What? This ......"

Ye Yu was speechless in shock by this sudden accident, he really couldn't imagine why this murder weapon appeared in his mansion.

Looking at the bloody dagger, Ye Yu slowly realized at this moment that he seemed to have entered the enemy's conspiracy.

"Ye Yu, do you still have something to say?" Zhang Meng saw that he had a murder weapon, and immediately had an opinion, and immediately asked Ye Yu what his defense was.

But at this moment, Ye Yu's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't listen to what Zhang Meng was saying at all.

Princess Gong Li was even more angry when she saw the murderous dagger, and scolded angrily: "Okay, you Ye Yu, you actually hid the murder weapon in the mansion, Lord Zhang, such a vicious person, don't you announce the verdict immediately!?" ”

"How this official should try his own proportions, without the need for others to speak!"

After Zhang Meng finished speaking, he ordered left and right: "Put Ye Yu in prison for the time being, and try again tomorrow!" ”

"Princess, please!"

Looking at the angry princess Li, Zhang Meng didn't bother to take care of it, so he turned around and retreated from the court and walked to the back hall.

He has been in the officialdom for many years, how can he make a judgment lightly. Not to mention that there are quite a lot of doubts in this case, even if this Li Chong was really killed by Ye Yu, he can't make such a hasty judgment.

Because this person is Ye Yu, he will move his whole body with one shot, and this case must be cautious.

In the Taiwei Mansion, after Zhang Meng reported the case to his brother Zhang Shuo in detail, Zhang Shuo shook his head and said, "It seems that someone wants to borrow our hand to get rid of Ye Yu......

"Brother Yu also thinks so, there are really a lot of doubts about the fact that this matter happened so coincidentally, so Brother Yu temporarily suppressed the case."

"Well, you did the right thing, Ye Yu, this kid is a hot potato now, someone threw this potato to us, it was ill-intentioned!"

Zhang said that he was sitting at the desk, his dry fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, but there was a playful smile in his eyes.

Zhang Meng suddenly said: "Brother means ......"

"Yes, no matter what the reason for this matter is, but this time, Old Man Yu has played a move for his brother to attack his heart!"

"How so?"

Zhang Meng's question, Zhang said that he did not respond directly, but picked up a brush dipped in ink and wrote the two big characters 'mean' on rice paper.

Then he put down his pen and said earnestly: "Now that kid is Zhenglong, as the Dali Siqing, you will convict him, even if you act according to the law, you will still suffer the wrath of His Majesty!" And this is a big blow for us in the future! ”

"What the elder brother said is very true, judging from His Majesty's recent words and deeds, the two of them do not seem to be monarchs and ministers, but ......"

"And what, why don't you say it?"

Zhang Shuo glanced at Zhang Meng, who wanted to speak and stopped, and then smiled: "Do you think that Your Majesty and Ye Yu are like father and son?" ”

"Brother is clear-sighted, and this is exactly what the foolish brother means......"

"Huh! Not only you, but even my brother thinks so! That's why this hot potato is not easy to deal with! ”

"What does that brother think?"

Zhang Shuo pointed to the words on the table, and said softly as if with deep meaning: "This is the answer!" ”

"The mean?"

When Zhang Meng saw these two words, he was even more puzzled. Although he has a lot of experience in judging cases, his manipulation of the regime is far from the brother in front of him.

"Yes, if you do your best in this case, you will be dissatisfied; If you don't do your best, Princess Gong, as well as Yu Yunwen's party behind it, will not give up......"

"Rather than being caught in the middle and making it difficult, it is better to delay this matter, and then this matter will inevitably alarm the government and the opposition, and we will throw this hot potato to His Majesty and Yu Yunwen to see how they should choose, wouldn't it be better?"

After listening to Zhang's explanation, Zhang Meng suddenly brightened up, and couldn't help but admire: "Brother is smart! ”

"It's just, why don't we take this opportunity to bring Ye Yu over, so that he can become our arm in the future?"

In Zhang Meng's opinion, when Ye Yu was in prison, if he helped him, he would definitely be able to get Ye Yu's attachment, and it would be a pity to give up this rare opportunity.

"This son is undeniably a genius, but the edge is too strong, if it is used by me, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not turn against its master in the future......"

Having said this, Zhang Shuo snorted softly and coldly: "Besides, as a brother, I also want to know how His Majesty reacts to this matter." Old man Yu's group of people have been treating this son everywhere, and I couldn't figure it out before, but now it seems that there must be a reason! ”

There was nothing to say all night, and in the morning of the second day, the matter was really put on the agenda of the court, and the case of Ye Yu's murder of Li Chong also caused an uproar in the government and the opposition.

Zhang Meng, the secretary of Dali Temple, reported the entire case to Zhao Yan, and the ministers fell into a mode of controversy.

The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, Ye Yu took his life this time, and the Confucian ministers who were reprimanded by Ye Yu on weekdays are now happily admonishing and demanding a strict trial of the case.

The officials of the Yu faction, headed by Yu Yunwen, also admonished Zhao Yan of Xiaozong, demanding that the murder case of Ye Yu be tried by three divisions, and strive for a fair and just trial.

Xiaozong Zhao Yan did not say anything about this, but directly announced his retirement from the dynasty with a blue face, and returned to the harem to ignore these ministers.
