Lai Da held his waist and limped down a small alley in the capital, feeling both fortunate and unlucky.

The Ye family is really kind, and they took their helpers to the door to ask for money, and they really gave the money obediently, and after reporting to the official, they just begged Jing Zhaoyin Mansion to beat him up with a few buddies, and let everyone go.

Bad luck is really bad luck, I knew that I wouldn't follow Ye Play to get involved in this matter, but now I can't do it without money, and I was beaten.

Lai Da hissed in pain, and felt that Ye Play that kid was not interesting enough, so he pushed all the things on him in front of the official.

Thinking like this, Lai Da turned a corner, and saw Ye Play lying on the ground with his eyes open like a dead dog in the small alley near the gambling house, and suddenly became angry, stepped forward and kicked Ye Play with his foot, and said, "You kid, why are you sleeping here?" ”

Ye Yu got up slowly, it had just rained recently, and his back and the corners of his robe were mixed with muddy water, which made him even more depressed. He dusted off his clothes uncomfortably and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Lai pursed his mouth and shouted: "I care about you kindly, what kind attitude do you have?" Let me ask you, why did you put all the blame on me in court, and you still don't talk about righteousness? ”

Ye Play laughed mockingly, stood up, and said, "Righteous anger, righteous anger can be eaten as food?" Get out of the way, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu, I want to go back to the Ye family! ”

Lai Da was in a hurry, so he let the leaves go and left, maybe he wouldn't be able to catch anyone next time, and he would be a complete loss for this disaster! Lai Da hurriedly grabbed Ye Wan's wrist and said, "Playmate, don't say anything else, you have to at least give me some hard money, right?" ”

When it came to money, Ye Play seemed to have changed as a person, and the whole person became violent, glaring at his red eyes and saying, "Money, what money, where did I get the money?" Not a single one! ”

Lai Da came up angrily, grabbed Ye Wan's hand tightly and didn't let him go, and shouted loudly: "What do you mean, you want to deny it?" Don't tell me that you don't have money, the dignified young master of the fourth room of the Ye family will have no money? I'm telling you, if you don't give me money, I'll go all over the capital and say......"

Ye Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes became cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?" ”

Lai Da was not frightened, but was even more proud in his heart, thinking that he had grasped Ye Wan's handle, and said: "I want to say, you are an imposter at all, you killed someone with the fourth master of the Ye family, and you became a young master!" ”

As soon as Lai Da's words fell, he felt a gust of wind blowing in his ears, and when he came back to his senses, he had been knocked to the ground by Ye Yu's punch.

Lai Dagang wanted to ask, but when he saw the murderous aura in Ye Wan's eyes, he swallowed his words.

He still has injuries on his body, when Ye Play was still in the market, but he had practiced martial arts with the dart master, he couldn't beat Ye Play!

Lai Da hurriedly got up and ran all the way to the intersection, but because he had just been tortured with a cane, he couldn't run, and was caught up by Ye Play at once.

Ye Yu bent his knees, sat on Lai Da's waist to control him, and untied his belt casually to strangle Lai Da from behind.

Lai Da's eyes were round, his legs were kicking wildly, he only felt a burst of black dizziness in front of him, and just when he was about to faint, a person appeared at the mouth of the alley, pointing at the two and shouting: "What are you doing?" ”

Ye Yu was startled, and the strength in his hand was also loosened a lot, Lai Da was able to breathe, and hurriedly shouted: "Help, he wants to kill me!" ”

The passer-by hurriedly shouted on the other side of the road: "Quick, there are people here who want to kill!" ”

Ye Wan panicked in his heart, there was a gambling house over there, and there were often crowds of people fighting near the gambling house, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had a special team stationed there to maintain law and order.

If you don't run, your life will be gone!

Ye Play hurriedly got up, but the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had already lined up and poured into the alley, surrounding Ye Play who was about to climb over the wall.

Lai Da ignored the strangled bruised neck, hid behind the officers and soldiers, pointed at Ye Yu and said, "He, he wants to kill!" No, he's already killed someone, I saw it, in a dry well to the east of the post station on the outskirts of Beijing! He's going to kill me! ”

The faces of the officers and soldiers present suddenly changed, and they played around Ye vigilantly.

Ye Wan's heart tightened, and he wanted to rush forward to cover Lai Da's mouth, but was slapped down by the officers and soldiers with the back of the knife.

Before fainting, Ye Play knew that he was probably finished.

……………………

Chen Dongliang didn't expect that as soon as he sent Ye Wan and a few scoundrels away, they were sent back to him by the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and they also brought two homicide cases.

Chen Dongliang secretly scolded for his bad luck, hurriedly went to the hall to listen to Lai Da's confession, and asked the official to wake up Ye Yu with a basin of cold water.

Lai Da didn't dare to look at Ye Wan's vicious eyes as if he was going to eat people, and he opened his mouth and said something: "Not long ago...... That is, when the Ye family's young master had not yet been recognized by the Ye family, I went to his house to play with him, but I didn't expect to see him go out in a hurry. I had never seen him look like that before, so I quietly followed him out of curiosity, and I followed him all the way to the east of the Beijing suburb post station, under a crooked-necked tree, where there was a dry well without water......"

Lai Da said, he trembled all over, and said slowly: "At that time, it was still night, I saw Ye Play and the fourth master of the Ye family meet, and they talked to a very thin man again, some talked and laughed, but the next second Ye Play pressed the man to the ground, and then strangled him. ”

The people present all heard their hairs stand on end, Lai Da can't wait to slap himself twice, they all know that Ye Play is the one who killed people, how can they dare to associate with him, and now they will be punished.

Ye Yu hung his head and didn't say a word.

Lai Da continued: "Later, it may be that the children also noticed it, and an eight-year-old boy rushed over and was caught by the fourth master of the Ye family and strangled to death......

"Are you sure you're seeing the fourth master of the Ye family?" Ye Chanyan asked with a cold face, "You've only seen him a few times, how can you be so sure?" ”

Lai Da was stunned, and subconsciously changed his words and said, "I'm not sure...... The man was a somewhat fat middle-aged man, similar in size to the fourth master of the Ye family, but it was dark, and I didn't really see the face, so I couldn't be sure...... But Ye Play is different, I grew up with him since childhood, and I know him when he turned to ashes. ”

Ye Chanyan bowed his head and let Lai Da continue.

Lai Da changed his words and continued: "The middle-aged man and Ye Yu pushed the two strangled people into the well together, and dragged a woman out of the house. The woman seemed to see me halfway, and she was about to scream, but she was slapped twice by Ye Play before she became honest. ”

Chen Dongliang thought to himself, although this Lai Da is a scoundrel in the market, he can explain the process of witnessing it so clearly, it seems that this matter is not groundless. This Ye Play has not spoken, maybe it should be tortured......

Chen Dongliang thought about it, and when he stretched out his hand to the stick, he was about to find the torture stick, but was stopped by Ye Chanyan in a loud voice: "Lord Fu Yin, Lai Da and Ye Play have just had a conflict, and it is possible for Lai Da to slander Ye Play." According to the lower officials, instead of using torture, it is better to send some officials to the well to have a look, and then you will know whether what Lai Da said is the truth. ”

Chen Dongliang withdrew his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Chanyan for a while, remembering that Ye Play was Ye Chanyan's nephew.

Chen Dongliang was transferred after the soul case, and he was a little uncertain about this matter. Since Ye Chanyan opened his mouth to intercede, what he said made sense, Chen Dongliang was naturally willing to give him a face, and immediately listened to Ye Chanyan's words and sent the officials over to take a look.

After a while, some officials rushed back, rushed into the yamen and said, "Really, there really is a corpse!" There are two male corpses, one large and one small, the younger one is only eight years old, and he also picked up a jade pendant underneath! ”

Although he had been prepared in his heart, Chen Dongliang was still startled, and immediately asked people to take the jade pendant to Ye Wan.

Ye Yu glanced at it and said that he didn't recognize it, Ye Chanyan also glanced at the jade pendant, his eyes moved, and said, "This jade pendant seems to belong to my fourth brother, why don't you summon my fourth brother to ask?" ”

Chen Dongliang looked at Ye Chanyan's eyes and became strange, and asked people to invite Ye Zuhui.

Ye Zuhui was carried by someone when he entered the door, and his injuries still needed to recuperate, so he couldn't move easily.

When Ye Zuhui entered the yamen, he shouted injustice and cried: "How do I know that my jade pendant will be there!" I don't know those two people, my jade pendant has been lost a long time ago, maybe the murderer is trying to frame me, and don't the witnesses also say that they just look like me? By the way, the eyewitness is still Lai Da, he is a scoundrel that everyone knows, he has a grudge against my son, maybe he is the one he deliberately killed, and he shook out this case to frame my father and son! ”

Chen Dongliang scratched his head and felt that Ye Zuhui had a point.

Ye Yu, who listened to Ye Zuhui's words, moved his eyes and did not speak, and his demeanor seemed to relax a lot.

There is only one piece of jade pendant as physical evidence in this case, and there is only one witness in Lai Da, and it takes time to conduct an autopsy, Chen Dongliang is a little unsure of what to do, Ye Chanyan made a timely suggestion: "Now, the most difficult thing in this case is that the identity of the two corpses cannot be determined, so it is better to post a list in the city, so that those who have relatives who are missing at home can be recognized, maybe there will be news." ”

Chen Dongliang stroked his beard and said, "That's all it takes." ”

Ye Play and Ye Zuhui both quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter is kept secret, and it should not rely on major loopholes.

In the capital, no one knew who the two corpses, one large and one small, were.

As for the woman who was dragged away, who would believe the words of a madman if she was really crazy or fakely crazy?

……………………

In Qionghua Courtyard, Ye Qiong was reading.

Previously, Ye Qiong and Mr. Zou talked about the ready-to-wear shop, and asked Mr. Zou to help her write the pleadings, but Mr. Zou didn't say a word to finish writing, because of pity for Ye Qiong, and selected a few ancient and modern strange cases to be compiled into a book for Ye Qiong to read.

Ye Qiong held the book and read it with relish, which was very beneficial.

What makes me feel even warmer is Master's pity for herself.

The cuckoo entered the Qionghua Courtyard at this time, and Su Kite saw this and hurriedly waved his hand to take the maids down, leaving only the cuckoo and Ye Qiong in the whole room.

Ye Qiong nodded in her heart.

After the cuckoo avenged the fourth uncle, he was more calm and attentive, and now Ye Qiong handed over all the news contacts outside to the cuckoo, but the things that he was serving closely still let Su Kite and the Liuying do. Su Kite and Wandering Warbler did not question the position of the cuckoo, because the cuckoo was young and had a poor experience, and he still took care of the cuckoo. Like in the previous life, Su Kite was in charge of the chores in the inner courtyard, and the Liuying was in charge of Ye Qiong's cage and clothes and hairpins.

Now the Qionghua Courtyard is in order, relying on the credit of these maids.

Seeing that there was no one around, the cuckoo quietly reported the incident to Ye Qiong.

Ye Qiong was slightly stunned after hearing this, and asked rhetorically: "Why did you become the person killed by Ye Play and the middle-aged man......... Is it the second uncle's repeated remarks and deliberately reducing the suspicion of the fourth uncle? ”

Cuckoo's jaw.

Ye Qiong thought in her heart, now that the second uncle is the master bookkeeper in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, the fourth uncle is the younger brother of the same half-brother, and it is understandable to help the fourth uncle speak......

But Ye Qiong always had an intuition that there was something strange that couldn't be explained.

On the day when the fourth uncle was making trouble to remove the clan, the second uncle obviously supported the fourth uncle in such a righteous and strict manner, how could he remember the brotherhood again?

Ye Qiong thought to no avail, so she put aside her doubts and instructed first: "Spread the news to Zhuangzi, meet the woman quietly, let her pretend to be crazy and run to us, protect her well, change her into clean clothes, and then send her to Jingzhao Yin's mansion." ”

Saying that, Ye Qiong sighed: "From the time she gave me the strip of cloth, I was completely sure that she was pretending to be crazy to save her life." is also a poor person, who can know how to pretend to be crazy to save her life, she knows what to say. ”

After the cuckoo responded, he hurriedly retreated.

Ye Qiong wrote the words "four" and "two" on the paper, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the second uncle seemed to be deliberately protecting the fourth uncle and Ye Wan.

The fourth uncle and Ye Play are still one, and keeping the fourth uncle is really for the sake of brotherly affection, or is there any benefit?

Ye Qiong suddenly felt that she never seemed to understand the person of the second uncle.
