Chapter 41: The Truth

In Jingzhao Yin's mansion, a plainly dressed but very clean woman was kneeling in front of the hall to speak, her eyes were slightly red, but her eyes were clear, and she said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The concubine's name is Su Manrou, and she is a person from Jizhou, and she hereby sues Ye Yu for pretending to be Ye Zuhui's son, killing my husband and child, and asking the adults to seek justice for my dead husband and child." ”

Chen Dongliang stroked his beard, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "But this official remembers that when you just entered the yamen, you said that it was Ye Zuhui and Ye Wan, father and son, who killed your husband and child?" ”

Su Manrou lowered her head, her eyes flashed, and said: "It was late at night, and I didn't really see it that day, but I only vaguely saw that Ye Yu and a middle-aged man with a similar body shape to Ye Zuhui murdered my husband and child. ”

Chen Dongliang also wanted to ask a few questions, but the official happened to bring Ye Zuhui and Ye Play, and both of them were surprised to see Su Manrou, and there was panic in the surprise.

Chen Dongliang was shocked and asked the two of them: "Ye Zuhui, Ye play, do you recognize who this woman is?" ”

Ye Zuhui's face was still shocked, and he hurriedly replied: "I recognize, she is Ye Wan's biological mother, and she has been a good concubine in my room." ”

Ye Play looked at Su Manrou's gaze very coldly, and he said, "I know, it's my biological mother." She is already insane, the words of a madman cannot be used as testimony, who sent her to court? ”

Ye Zuhui also nodded in agreement: "That's right, she's crazy, you can't believe the words of a madman, and Lord Fu Yin can't believe her words." ”

Su Manrou smiled when she heard this, and said calmly and restrainedly to Ye Zuhui and Ye Wan: "In the fifth year of Shunhe, my father harvested cotton in the capital, and he sent me to the fourth room of the Ye family as a concubine after a while, and took me out in less than half a year. At the beginning of the sixth year of Shunhe, my father went back to Jizhou to make money, and went to Yefu to take me out, which was approved by Emperor Ye. ”

The murderous aura in Ye Wan's eyes flashed, and then he pretended to be ignorant and envious: "Auntie, why are you suddenly sober?" You only wake up for a moment every day, why don't you tell your son? ”

The implication is that Su Manrou is crazy.

Su Manrou laughed at herself, ignored Ye Wan, but bowed solemnly to Chen Dongliang, and continued: "My lord, I have always been sober, and I pretended to be crazy for fear of Ye Wan's revenge. I have also read a few books, and if adults don't believe me, I can recite a few white verses to prove my innocence. ”

Chen Dongliang agreed, Su Manrou really said a few words, reciting the poem "Tao Yao", and when she read "The son is home, Yishu IKEA", Su Manrou's nose was sour, and there was crying in her words.

Ye Play's forehead was covered with sweat, what's going on, this girl is really completely pretending?

I knew that I should have been more ruthless that day, and I shouldn't have left her such a living mouth in order to show the innocence of her life, but now she was bitten back.

Chen Dongliang observed Su Manrou's words and deeds, and still thought that she was mentally normal, so she continued: "In the twelfth year of Shunhe, I remarried my current husband after my return, his name is Gou Qigui, he is very good to me, although we live in poverty, but we have been living very happily until two years later, we have a child again, named Gou Changhu. Changhu was naughty when he was a child, he has been shouting cheap names to make a good living, once he fell from a tree, the branch cut a line on his forehead, in order to comfort him, we said that it was the king character on the tiger's head, so he was named Changhu. ”

Chen Dongliang secretly bowed his head, and there was indeed a scar on the center of the eyebrows of the small corpse, which was written in the autopsy report.

When Su Manrou said this, her tone changed: "My husband is also in business, we arrived in the capital not long ago, and rented a small courtyard in the east of the post station. The husband wanted to open the door, I told him about the previous interaction with the Ye family, and he agreed to beg the Ye family, but what was waiting there was not an opportunity to make money, but a trap! ”

At this point, Su Manrou raised her eyes and exchanged glances with Ye Chanyan, who had been standing next to Chen Dongliang without saying a word.

Su Manrou apologized to her husband and children in her heart:

I'm sorry, but I have to continue to live in this world.

After Su Manrou entered the yamen, Ye Chanyan, the second master of the Ye family, made a deal with Chen Dongliang before she arrived, and asked her to bite the matter to Ye Yu to death, not to involve Ye Zuhui, the fourth master of Ye.

If he complied, Ye Chanyan would send Su Manrou back to Jizhou, and send a few acres of fertile land and a house for Su Manrou to eat and wear for the rest of her life. Pretending to be crazy in the Ye family's Zhuangzi and drinking rancid water every day was the most difficult day Su Manrou had ever lived, and she didn't want to go through it again.

Although the eldest and third masters of the Ye family are still in prison, there is still a Ye Chanyan who is the chief bookkeeper in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, although he is only a minor official in the capital, it is enough to crush Su Manrou to death.

Su Manrou remembered that Ye Chanyan was in the public court at that time, making deals with him in front of many officials, and all the officials were used to seeing it as a scene they didn't see, and they knew in their hearts that they had no other choice.

Thinking like this, Su Manrou had red eyes, pointed at Ye Play and said: "It's him, he Ye Play is an impostor, in order to be the young master of the Ye family's fourth room, he killed my husband and children, and put me under house arrest, Ye Play, you are so vicious!" My child is only eight years old, how can you do it! ”

Ye Play was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Ye Zuhui, Ye Zuhui was also surprised, and then he was proud, looking at Ye Play with condescending contempt in his eyes.

Ye Zuhui's eyes flashed with pride, and he still pretended to be sad on his face: "Play, I have always pitied you for having a hard time outside." You, if you weren't my own son, you would have killed someone! ”

Ye Yu instantly understood, this woman didn't know what benefits Ye Zuhui had received, and chose to push all the things on himself, he immediately arched his hand to Chen Dongliang, and planned to pull Ye Zuhui into the water: "My lord, don't listen to this woman's words, not to mention that she was originally a madman, the jade pendant in the well was confirmed to be my father's, if I am suspicious, my father still has physical evidence!" ”

Ye Chanyan looked at Ye Yu and laughed in his heart.

Children who don't measure themselves want evidence, and there is a lot of "evidence".

Ye Play wanted to say a few words, but a servant rushed in with an excited face, and said: "The big guy has been shaking around the well, and as a result, a new clue was found on the wall of the well, it turned out that the adult male corpse did not die immediately, and the word 'play' was written in blood on the wall of the well!" ”

Everyone was shocked, Ye Zuhui had already shouted loudly, and said indignantly: "Ye Play, you really killed someone!" The jade pendant in the well must have been thrown by you to frame me. You are not worthy to be my son, I don't recognize you as a son! ”

Ye Yu was hit by Ye Zuhui like this, and he also tore his face and ignored it: "I'm sorry, obviously you took the initiative to find me and let me be your son, I've never seen someone who likes to cuckold himself so much, and those two people were also killed by you and me." What are you pretending to be now, I am selfish at best, you are shameless! ”

The two of them climbed up with red faces and red ears above the public court, Chen Dongliang didn't look like words, he slapped the startled wood several times, and shouted to the officials before pulling the two apart.

With the most direct physical evidence and two witnesses in this case, Ye Wan's crime is irrefutable, and it is natural to pay for murder. As for Ye Zuhui, Chen Dongliang still had some doubts in his heart, but the evidence was really insufficient, so he could only be acquitted.

Ye Play was shackled and imprisoned, and now it is autumn, and he is not far from the autumn queen, and he only has less than two months to live.

When Ye Play was taken down, he also shouted loudly: "I'm guilty, he Ye Zuhui is also guilty, you arrest him, why don't you arrest him!" I am not convinced, I am not convinced! ”

Ye Zuhui was helped out of the court by the servants, but was stopped by Ye Chanyan: "Fourth brother, wait a minute." ”

Ye Zuhui's heart jumped, and he said with a smile: "Second brother, thank you very much......"

Before the rest of the words came out, he was interrupted by Ye Chanyan: "I heard that your family was lost by Ye playing gambling money, you are injured now, and you can't live if you have no place to live, I have already told your second sister-in-law, you live with us, I have sent someone to your house to clean up." ”

Ye Zuhui smiled reluctantly, the second brother was still doing things so resolutely, and he had already made the decision for him without asking for his consent.

Ye Chanyan didn't see the reluctance on Ye Zuhui's face, but patted Ye Zuhui's shoulder and said, "Although you are not in addition to the clan, we are still brothers in blood, the eldest brother and the third brother are not here, and the fifth brother is younger than you, I can't ignore you." You are like this now, and because of the poor discipline of our brothers, you just stay in Huaihuaye's house, don't think about messing around anymore. ”

Although Ye Chanyan's face was smiling, his eyes were emotionless, and he was as cold as a disease.

Ye Zuhui's heart was cold, and horror flashed in his eyes when he looked at Ye Chanyan.

Is he going to be placed under house arrest by his second brother?

……………………

In Qionghua Courtyard, Ye Qiong had just gotten the trial results of the case.

"Only Ye Play was sentenced, and Ye Zuhui was acquitted?" Ye Qiong was very surprised.

The cuckoo nodded and elaborated on the trial.

Ye Qiong was even more surprised when she heard that the crazy woman Su Manrou also changed her confession, and let Ye Zuhui bite Ye Play to death, and then new physical evidence appeared, and she was even more surprised and fell into deep thought.

Su Manrou's husband and child have also been dead for more than ten days, so can the blood stains be so clear? What's more, the rain has been continuous for more than ten days, and the rainwater may also pour into the well and wash away the handwriting......

Not to mention the physical evidence, Su Manrou suddenly changed her confession, it should be someone who told her something.

This candidate, the second uncle is the most likely. Why does the second uncle have to keep the fourth uncle?

Perhaps, she should find someone who knows more about the fourth uncle and ask?

In order to solve the confusion, Ye Qiong used silver to open the way and met Ye Yu in prison.

In just a few days, Ye Yu lost weight, looking like crazy, but when Ye Qiong's eyes lit up, he laughed after listening to Ye Qiong's question, and said: "Ye Zuhui and Ye Chanyan have always had a close relationship, don't you know?" ”

Ye Qiong was stunned, she really didn't know.

Ye Wan's eyes seemed to be lit up by flames, and he said excitedly: "But they are not brothers, then how can they be brothers, they are obviously masters and slaves!" Ye Chanyan is the master, Ye Zuhui is a slave, wherever Ye Chanyan pointes, Ye Zuhui will fight! ”

Then he talked about some details of Ye Chanyan and Ye Zuhui's relationship, Ye Qiong listened patiently, and found that many of them were Ye Yu's own speculations, so he raised his skirt and wanted to go home.

Ye Yu was so anxious that he jumped behind his back: "Ye Qiong, you have to believe me, kill Ye Zuhui for me, kill Ye Chanyan!" It was Ye Chanyan who protected Ye Zuhui, obviously the person we killed together, why am I the only one in prison to behead, you have to kill them for me! ”

Ye Qiong walked out of the cell and exhaled a long breath.

Ye Yu has a hatred for the fourth uncle and the second uncle, and she doesn't know how much truth is true or false, but she has to think about it.

Second uncle, what does the fourth uncle want to do?
