Chapter 22: Gold Hidden Within the Wall
The stalemate lasted for a long time, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Fan Yu pondered for a while and said, "You see this is good, if the truth is not obtained in the Ye family, from now on, the Ye family mother and daughter will no longer toss with you, nor will they share any of your family property, what do you think?"
The middle-aged man was stunned, looked at Fan Yu suspiciously, and then glanced at the old woman and woman: "You may be in charge?"
The old woman and woman who were hiding behind stepped forward and nodded: "According to what Mr. said, if the truth is not found, the old woman and the little girl will no longer step into the Ye family." ”
The middle-aged man thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Unless you wait for the establishment of a document, it will not be possible to say that the sky will be broken, and when the time comes, you will regret it, who will I talk to to reason?"
"That's very good. ”
Fan Yu laughed: "Just ask Tan and Yun to be a witness and make a note, if you don't find Grandpa Ye in the Ye family and leave the truth about the property before leaving, then the Ye family mother and daughter will no longer be entangled with Ye Qing." ”
The middle-aged man saw that Fan Yu was so confident, and he had some doubts, but when he thought that he had turned the Ye family upside down, he had not let go of anything, and there was nothing else, he was sure in his heart.
Immediately command the servant to bring paper and ink.
Grandpa Yun wrote, looked left and right, and immediately let the old woman and woman, as well as the middle-aged man, leave a handprint, which was established.
"The document has been established, and no one is allowed to repent, can you understand?"
"Understood. ”
Grandpa Yun put the note to Yang: "Now that the note has been established, you can let us in now, right?"
The middle-aged man sneered and stepped aside: "Come in." ”
When the group entered the Ye family, Fan Yu asked the old woman: "Old lady, where did you and Grandpa Ye live before?"
"Xiyuan. ”
The old woman was puzzled, and led the way in front of her: "Mr. is coming with the old man." ”
Through the porch and through the door, I came to a courtyard, and there was indeed a laurel tree in the middle, because there was no one to live in it for a long time, and there was no servant to clean it, the ground was covered with fallen leaves.
The old woman shed tears and choked up: "Grandpa lived in this courtyard with the old man before his death. ”
Fan Yu nodded, walked to the room again, and went in to see three paintings, which were hung on three walls.
With a slight certainty in his heart, he walked to the mural, looked at it carefully, took it off again, knocked on the wall, and faintly heard a dull sound.
smiled knowingly, and said to the middle-aged man, "Can you borrow a hammer and an iron cone?"
"Hammers, awls, what do you want?"
"You can take it. ”
The middle-aged man was puzzled, but still waved his hand and asked the servant to fetch it.
Fetching the hammer and the iron cone, Fan Yu asked a few strong servants to face the position in front of the mural and said, "Wait until you smash this wall open." ”
"No, how can this be? This is my Ye Mansion, although I let you in, but I didn't agree, let you smash the wall. ”
The middle-aged man immediately stopped.
Fan Yu's face fell: "On the note, it is not written that it is not allowed to smash the wall, why, do you want to break the contract?"
"You...... Okay, if the wall is smashed and there's nothing, I'll see what you do. ”
The middle-aged man was angry.
"Smash. ”
Fan Yu took a look and shouted.
Several servants, holding hammers and cones, looked back at their grandfather, and when they saw him nodding slightly, they immediately raised their hammers and smashed them down.
"Bang~"
After a few blows, a hole was made in the wall, and a hole was leaked, and the servant with the iron cone immediately struck the bricks on the edge.
After a while, the hole was bigger.
The servant was surprised: "There is something inside, it seems to be a chest." ”
Box?
Everyone was curious, and looked around, and through the hole, they found that there was a small dark compartment inside, and a wooden box was placed in it.
"Lift it out. ”
Fan Yu instructed, a few servants got started, but they didn't drag it at first, and it took a lot of effort to drag out the wooden box, and it sank again, almost not holding it.
Placed on the ground, the ground shook slightly.
"Turn it on. ”
The servant used an awl to pry open the iron lock, and when he opened it, the crowd exclaimed.
There is actually a box full of gold ingots, I'm afraid there are not as many as a thousand taels, that is, ten thousand taels of silver.
"Smash the other two walls open. ”
Several servants immediately stepped forward and smashed open a wall, in which was another box, and when they were dragged out and opened, it was still a box of gold ingots.
So he smashed another wall open: "There's a chest here, too." ”
When opened, it was jewelry, plus a letter.
Fan Yu picked up the letter, opened it and looked at it, he was silent for a long time, squinted at the middle-aged man who was already drenched in cold sweat, and sneered: "It's really an eye-opener." ”
Immediately handed the letter to Tan and Yun.
After the second elder saw it, his face turned pale: "Beast." ”
The old woman snatched the letter, and when she saw it, she collapsed and cried, and the woman hurried to see it, and this sight was also a tear.
It turned out that Grandpa Ye knew that his life was short, but his brother secretly harbored evil intentions, and used the lives of old women and women as threats to force him to leave a suicide note and leave his family property to him.
But Grandpa Ye knew that once he died, his widow would definitely be bullied, or even kicked out of the house and live on the streets.
Fortunately, in the early years, he had hidden a lot of gold and jewelry, which he used when the family's business was not prosperous, and he happened to leave it to his widow.
But he was afraid that Ye Qing would see through it, so he had to leave two paintings, hiding the mystery and not mentioning a word.
The truth has been revealed.
The old man surnamed Tan had red eyes, and he had to be angry, pointing at the middle-aged man: "Brute, you murdered your brother, forced him to write down his bereaved family, plotted to seize the family property, and bullied the widow, what else do you have to say?"
The middle-aged man was terrified: "I don't, don't spew blood......"
"The white and black words are here, you still want to quibble?"
The old man surnamed Tan smiled angrily and raised the letter in his hand.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man, who had a premonition, suddenly turned pale, his eyes were limp to the ground, and he muttered, "I didn't ...... The Ye family originally had half of me, it was me, I worked hard with him, and it was originally mine. ”
"Someone, tie him up and go with me to the official. ”
......
But in one day, this matter spread throughout Lushan County, and there were a lot of people in front of the county government, all of whom came to see the excitement.
"Come, take this wicked man who plotted to kill his brother and seize his property, and exile him for three thousand miles the next day. ”
With a shock, a verdict, the matter came to an end.
"The people's woman, the people's daughter, Master Xie Qingtian. ”
The old woman and the woman knelt in front of the church, bowed deeply, and wept silently.
As the saying goes, good and evil are rewarded, but the time has not yet come.
Fan Yu stood outside the yamen and sighed softly, feeling happy for the old woman and the woman in his heart.
Suddenly, his body shook.
I saw wisps of Qi rising from the old woman and woman, and then slowly drifting over and falling on him.
I felt warm all over my body, and my eyes seemed to see the scene of the old woman crying with joy and the woman excited.
Then, he sensed the Qi at the dantian, which was a lot more, which could only be counted as a thin layer of water before, but now it is at least a little finger deep.
