Chapter 43: There is another secret
Seeing Ye Sili coming, Zhou Jiu'er rushed over like a life-saving straw, reaching out to hold Ye Sili tightly.
Fortunately, Gu Li's eyes were quick and he protected Ye Sili in his arms, so that Zhou Jiu'er did not touch it at all.
"Miss Zhou, please calm down!" Gu Li scolded worriedly.
Zhou Jiu'er didn't seem to listen to the advice of others, and only shouted Ye Sili like crazy.
Ye Sili ...... Why do you want to harm me......"
"Why !!"
"I didn't kill it...... I didn't kill ......"
Ye Sili ...... Ye Sili...... You have caused me so bad!! β
Hurt her?
Ye Sili glanced at Gu Liwu suspiciously, she clearly didn't understand what Zhou Jiu'er was saying.
"Zhou Jiu'er, don't talk nonsense."
Ye Sili looked at Zhou Jiu'er's appearance and felt very pitiful, but poor people must have something to hate.
Although Zhou Jiu'er is from a famous family, he deserves to do such a cruel thing to the loyal and good.
"Lord Liang's matter, there are all human and material evidence, how do you want to quibble?"
Hearing this, Zhou Jiu'er laughed madly, her hair was unkempt, she had no condition to take care of her appearance, her prison clothes were tattered and stained with blood, and her whole body exuded a sour smell and bloody and corrupt atmosphere, she laughed wildly, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Ye Sili, Liang Hai was not killed by me, I didn't kill ......"
"They don't believe me, I have to look for you, you'll help me, right?" After saying that, Zhou Jiu'er reached out again and grabbed Ye Sili through the prison.
Ye Sili dodged in time, stood beside Gu Liwei, and listened to Zhou Jiu'er's words, both of them were surprised.
Gu Li asked calmly: "Miss Zhou, now the entire Zhou family is affected by you, if you have another incident, I am afraid that the lives of the Zhou family will not be able to escape from you." β
"Why don't you believe me?" Zhou Jiu'er roared hysterically.
Immediately, his eyes fell on Ye Sili, and Zhou Jiu'er suddenly cried in a trance.
Ye Sili ...... Oh no...... Princess...... Lord of Le'an County ......"
"I beg you to save me...... I don't want to stay here anymore......"
Zhou Jiu'er knelt on the ground, and Ye Sili even saw insects crawling up Zhou Jiu'er's legs.
"You get up first."
The cell is cold and damp, Zhou Jiu'er has been eating since she was a child, and she is better off than dead if she stays in this kind of place for a while.
"County Lord, are you willing to trust me?" Zhou Jiu'er knelt on the ground, reluctant to get up, and waited expectantly for Ye Sili's answer.
Ye Sili stepped forward and looked down at Zhou Jiu'er, his words with obvious distancing.
"You should know that you are not worthy of the trust of this county lord."
As soon as these words came out, the expectation in Zhou Jiu'er's eyes disappeared in an instant, but he still promised without giving up:
"County Lord, please believe me again, I can't find anyone else but you."
Although there is the support of Zhou De's protΓ©gΓ© and Zhou Ziyu's befriended literati and bachelors, they can't match the cold-blooded ruthlessness of Liang Yi of the Criminal Department, no matter who goes to intercede, Liang Yi will not be seen, and even threatened that anyone who knowingly commits the crime will be guilty of the same crime.
Now that the door of the Zhou Mansion is not used, other outsiders are afraid of getting into trouble, Zhou Jiu'er thinks about it, only Ye Sili may have a glimmer of hope if he comes forward.
Ye Sili squatted and looked directly at Zhou Jiu'er, the distance between the two was shortened instantly, and only then did Ye Sili see Zhou Jiu'er's face clearly.
Zhou Jiu'er's eyes were bloodshot, she must have not slept a night in the days she was locked here, her lips were dry and white, and her complexion was ruddy and dry.
The Zhou Jiu'er in front of him and the arrogant and domineering Zhou Jiu'er who Ye Sili knew before galloping on the hunting ground.
"Why do you think the county lord believes you?"
Zhou Jiu'er understood the meaning of Ye Sili's words, so she immediately seized this opportunity and said:
"The stakes are very high for Liang Hai's murder, and if there is something else wrong after the case is closed, then Liang Yi and the people involved in the review will be charged with bullying the king."
"Besides, the county lord, you are well aware of the righteousness, and you definitely don't want the important ministers of the Great Zhou to bear unknown grievances on this back, right?"
Ye Sili observed Zhou Jiu'er's expression and couldn't see any flaws.
This case has been made clear, if it is found that there is something else wrong with this matter after the case is closed, then there will be a little fanning the flames, and Liang Yi and others will definitely bear the crime of bullying the king.
And the Zhou Mansion is really innocent, and by that time, I am afraid that Zhou Jiu'er's grave grass will be half a person high.
But the key thing is that the punishment of this matter is the saint's relatives, if the Zhou Mansion is really wronged, at that time, I am afraid that the saint will only choose to make a mistake.
If the truth of this matter is clarified, and someone comes forward to bear the responsibility for the mistake of the previous judgment and hands the ladder directly to the foot of the saint, all this is naturally easy to say.
"What grievances do you have?" Ye Sili couldn't sit idly by after all.
Gu Liwu stood behind Ye Sili and looked at her with a surprised expression.
This matter has nothing to do with her, so she doesn't have to pay attention to it, and now that she agrees, I'm afraid she doesn't want innocent people to be wronged.
Zhou Jiu'er was overjoyed when she saw Ye Sili agree, and explained without a word:
"It's not...... Waist ...... I don't know ......."
Gu Liwu stepped forward to help Ye Sili up, and said to Zhou Jiu'er:
"You're going to think about it clearly."
Zhou Jiu'er looked at Gu Liwei, inexplicably a little scared, barely calmed down, and said seriously:
"The wordless waist card is not mine, I have never seen it before Liang Yi led someone to search it."
"Wang San is not the killer I am looking for, he is just a slave I bought back from the Chengxi market, I didn't know that he was good before, so I asked him to follow me on weekdays and be my guard, I didn't know that he went to assassinate Liang Hai, including his confession, I didn't know at all."
The enslavement skills of the Chengxi market are good enough to assassinate Liang Hai, the secretary of the criminal department?
Wang Sannai was Zhou Jiu'er's entourage, and everything she did was at her command, and she didn't even know about such a big thing?
"Do you know you're flawed in every word?" Ye Sili ruthlessly revealed:
"Liang Yi went to Zhou's Mansion was a temporary decision, and the wordless waist card was found under your pillow, you said that you have never seen it, what should you explain?"
Zhou's Mansion is a scholarly family, and most of the people in the mansion are polite, except for Wang San, who was bought back halfway by Zhou Jiu'er, who has the ability to do this?
Zhou Jiu'er saw that Ye Sili didn't believe her, and was a little anxious:
"I don't need to lie to you, now that I am already a capital crime, what good will it do me if I deceive you again?"
Ye Sili turned his head to look at Gu Liwu beside him, and called softly: "Ah worry." β
Gu Liwu nodded, reassuring her.
In today's situation, if Zhou Jiu'er is not sure of it, there is really no need to toss such a thing.
Xiao Ling sat on the swing in the Yusheng Courtyard, dozing off boredly.
When she woke up, Sili and Liwu had already gone out, and they didn't take her with them......
Most of the days she was lying in bed to recuperate, she was really bored, and her body was lying with a sore back, and seeing that the weather seemed to be good today, she sat in the yard for a while.
Yun An got up very early to practice every day, and when Xiao Ling got up today, he had already finished practicing, but Xiao Ling was bored and wanted to watch for a while, so Yun An practiced seriously in the courtyard with a sword.
"Little Spirit." Ye Sili and Gu Liwu entered the courtyard.
Xiao Ling saw that the two of them were back, and got up happily, "How is it?" What was the idea of the wine that week? β
When Duchun heard that Ye Sili was back, she hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea for her to go cold.
"I'm afraid there is something else going on in Lord Liang's case." Ye Sili told Xiao Ling what happened in the cell in detail.
"She has no evidence, how can she believe it?" Xiao Ling questioned.
Gu Liwu said: "Evidence can be forged, even if it is true, how can you guarantee that it will not be used by people with intentions?" β
Ye Sili said lightly: "Is it true or not, let's go to the Zhou Mansion and the Liang Mansion to check again, won't we?" β
"I'll go with you."
"No." Yun An suddenly opened his mouth to stop: "The princess's foot injury has not healed, and she needs to recuperate." β
Ye Sili also agreed, and Xiao Ling was left in the mansion to watch Yun'an practice swordsmanship.
This time, Qingluo took the initiative to ask to go to the Zhou Mansion with them.
"No matter how Miss Zhou treats me, at least Lord Zhou and Ziyu treat me very well, and now I have repaid this kindness."
Back then, the Xu Mansion was not the Zhou Mansion of today, and after going around and around, it still returned to the same place.
Fortunately, when Qingluo was desperate, he was taken in by Zhou Jiu'er, and now Zhou Jiu'er has come to beg Ye Sili again.
"Ziyu."
As soon as Gu Liwu and the three of them entered the Zhou Mansion, they saw Zhou Ziyu standing in the courtyard.
"County Lord, why are you here?" Zhou Ziyu was slightly surprised when she saw the two of them, and then saw Qing Luo who was following Ye Sili, and thought, "Isn't there a turn for the better in my sister's affairs?" β
"Ziyu is really smart." Ye Sili quipped.
Zhou Ziyu's body is already slender, and his behavior is all courteous, and he is the most gentle young man.
But now that I look at it, my face is a lot haggard, and my body looks extremely thin.
"Don't make fun of me, the county lord."
Gu Li saw that the two of them were greetings, and returned to the topic: "We came here to ask Wang San about it. β
Zhou Ziyu invited the two into the house and sat down.
After the tea, the three of them chatted carefully.
"I really don't know much about Wang San, it's just that he was rescued from outside by his sister, and he seems to have some kung fu, so my sister appointed him as a guard, and I don't know anything else."
Zhou Ziyu replied seriously.
"Rescued victims?" Ye Sili said softly, it turned out that Zhou Jiu'er explained to her family the ridiculous things she had done.
"Does Ziyu know about the slave market in the west of the city?" Gu Liwu was not ambiguous at all, and asked bluntly.
"I've heard that the market in the west of the city sells many people, and buyers only need to pay a full silver tael to take their chosen slaves away." Zhou Ziyu was faintly uneasy in her heart.
"You mean that Wang San was bought by his sister from the market in the west of the city?"
Ye Sili nodded.
Zhou Ziyu's face changed slightly.
No wonder Jiu'er often brought back some people, and he thought at that time, how could they appear so frequently when they were in Kyoto, and the poor people were protected by the imperial court?
