Chapter 222: Trial Again
"The letter wasn't written to me, so why should I want to know?"
After listening to her question, He Qingyu asked in surprise.
Zong Jiyuan pursed his lips and continued to ask with a smile,
"Aren't you afraid, if I have any 'conspiracy' in the letter, but use you to pass it on for me, will you, the son of the county government, be implicated later?"
"How can it be, you are my brother Jiyuan, no matter what is written in it, there must be a reason for you, it will definitely not endanger all of us, let alone any 'conspiracy', if you don't even have such a little trust, what kind of brother is it."
He Qingyu replied without thinking, and it was so natural in his words.
Does he really believe in himself so much-
Looking at the sincere face in front of him, Zong Jiyuan's heart suddenly felt obsessed, and he stabilized his emotions slightly before continuing to ask,
"By the way, after bringing you here, what about Miss Xiaoyun and Grandpa Xiao? Where have they gone, do you know? ”
"I don't know about this,"
He Qingyu was stunned and shook his head, but he still tried his best to recall,
"They showed us the way all the way to this place, and told us that this was the courtyard, and then ...... By the way, they said they had something important to do, and they hurried away. ”
"Oh-I see,"
For some reason, listening to his answer, Zong Jiyuan seemed to be relieved, and let out a long sigh of relief, saying,
"As long as they're okay, it looks like everyone is safe......"
"Everyone, are you safe? Who is it? ”
He Qingyu didn't understand the meaning of her words for a while, and wanted to continue to ask, but was interrupted by a few people who walked in from outside the courtyard gate.
Just walked into the courtyard, it was Diao Sanlang, Lu Hong, Ke Yi, and the two head catchers Zheng Youyi and Deng Xuan in Anping County.
"Ji Yuan, we searched for a long time, but we only found blood stains on the cliff, but we didn't find Yu Chunjue."
"Yes,"
Zong Jiyuan's gaze turned to the charcoal fire in the brazier in the courtyard, and pondered slightly,
"Probably because it's too dark, tell everyone to come back, it's windy in the mountains, don't let the brothers freeze anymore, and wait until dawn to search and see."
"That's fine."
Zheng Youyi first expressed his agreement, and Diao Saburo didn't say anything more.
In this way, except for those who stayed on duty for the night, everyone went to rest in the courtyard assigned to them.
Early the next morning......
I don't want it to be a sunny day, although the wind blows non-stop the night before, and by the time the sun rises, it will be calm.
He sent some messengers to go around the cliff to search, but there was still no gain, and several catchers got together and discussed with each other, and decided that it was better to go back to the county government first.
Everyone left this small mountain village and began to walk on the road to Liaodong County.
In the team, except for Zong Jiyuan, He Qingyu, and a few head catchers, most of the people were walking on the ground, but they were not in a hurry, so the speed of movement was also between not fast and slow.
Yu Kun was also in the ranks of the officers, but although he was known to be an "accessory to the crime", he was still guilty without a formal confirmation during the trial, so he still had chains on his wrists, but they were a little thinner than before.
Seeing that he was struggling to walk, Zong Jiyuan circled the horse back and came to his side.
"Xiao Kun, come up and ride the same horse with me."
"Huh?"
Probably really didn't expect that Yu Kun's wide eyes were full of surprise and confusion,
"But, can that be done?"
"Why not, you're an important witness in this case, you can't be tired,"
Zong Jiyuan said half-jokingly and half-seriously, and then stretched out his hand to him,
"Come on, I'll give you a hand."
"Then, thank you, Master."
As he spoke, Yu Kun's face was still red, he handed his hand over, got on the horse with the strength of the other party's pull, and sat firmly behind her, Zong Jiyuan adjusted his position and urged the horse to continue walking forward.
Most of the people next to him didn't think anything about it, because this move was very much in line with Zong Jiyuan's character, only Diao Saburo looked at the two of them, his eyes flickered, and he groaned as if he had something on his mind......
Finally returned to the county government in Liaodong County, and the first thing everyone was busy with was to wash their hands and faces, and then they all ran to the kitchen.
Zong Jiyuan, together with He Qingyu and Diao Sanlang, first sent Yu Kun back to the prison temporarily, and then arranged for the servants of Anping County, and then came to the second hall to see Lord He, and Lord Shi was naturally here.
After greeting each other, Diao Saburo concisely described the process of handling the case, mainly talking about the fact that Wang Yu is Yu Chunjue, and emphasized that You Kun has completely recognized who the person who is really framing him is, and has agreed to change the testimony.
After hearing this, He Ruichang glanced at Master Shi and said,
"Lord Shi, how should this case be handled?"
"What's this?"
Master Shi's eyes rolled and he suddenly smiled,
"I think it's better to leave it to Brother He to deal with it, and after making a decision, tell me the result and let the official know it, so that I can seal it with you."
"W-Is that good?"
He Ruichang listened and couldn't help but ask with some hesitation.
Master Shi stroked his beard and still smiled,
"What's wrong, after all, in this case, your people in Liaodong County know the most thoroughly, and you can see the people and things involved in the case more clearly, and this official believes that you can handle it very properly, Lord He."
"Then, the little brother is better to be respectful than to obey his fate."
He Ruichang bowed his hand and expressed his gratitude to the other party......
Everyone rested for a day and re-entered the court early the next morning to try the case.
He Ruichang and Lord Shi came to the lobby together, and sat down in the main and guest seats, and the errands of the two sides were arranged on both sides, and the difference in the last court trial was that Zong Jiyuan was still a party after all, so he did not sit on the side, but waited next to the lobby, fortunately, there was no Jiang Wenju from Liaoyang Prefecture to stir it up, and the trial could be carried out smoothly.
This time, the retrial was much simpler and clearer, Lord He first asked Yukun to be taken out of prison, and after bringing it to the court, he re-inquired about the case, and after he finished narrating, he instructed,
"Chuan Zong Ji Yuan goes to the court."
was already waiting on the side of the hall, and when he heard the summons of the adult, Zong Jiyuan walked directly to the hall and gave a salute to He Ruichang and Lord Shi.
"Student Zong Jiyuan has seen two adults."
"Hmm,"
He Ruichang's eyes had been following her, and it wasn't until Zong Jiyuan saluted him that he nodded, and then glanced at Yu Kun and said,
"Yu Kun, you said that you were coerced into committing the crime in this case, so you look up and see clearly, the person who coerced you is this Zong Jiyuan next to you?"
