Chapter 241 Involvement in the Murder Case

Ask for pink, ask for recommendation tickets!
Yi Xue's family rushed to the county seat overnight, and many villagers who saw the truth of the matter also spontaneously went to the county government.A group of people was mighty, but unexpectedly, when they arrived at Kao Castle, they realized that there was a curfew at this time.

The soldiers guarding the city saw the person coming and asked about it. Hearing that it was Yi Xue, they immediately opened the city gate, and at this time a man on horseback came out first.

Xiao Yu had been waiting for a long time, and he was also taken aback when he received the news before a stick of incense.Fortunately, Yi Xue's family didn't offend anyone.

If it works properly, there should be no major problems. Xiao Yu thought for a while before reaching this conclusion.

This stupid woman is so stupid, Xiao Yu really wanted to knock Yi Xue on the head for how she could do such a thing.But when he saw Yi Xue get off the carriage haggardly, he immediately felt pity.

"Get in the carriage and go..." Xiao Yu said.

Yi Xue nodded, boarded the carriage again, and rushed to the county government office.

Mr. Wen had been waiting for a long time, and he was also shocked and didn't know what to do when he received a report from Mrs. Jia.It’s fine if the deceased is a commoner, and it’s fine for ordinary officials, but it’s not easy for officials to handle it. Pay attention to.

When they arrived at the county government office, Yixue walked in first, and stood aside, "The sixth-rank imperial order Wang Yixue has seen your lord."

"Qipin ordered Mrs. Zhang to meet the lord," Mrs. Zhang also said.

"Give me a seat," Wen Taichang said, as the yamen servants had already prepared stools.

Chun Hong stared at Yi Xue dumbfounded, didn't she come to bow down to the county magistrate first?It was only now that she remembered that Yi Xue was ordered, so she didn't need to kneel.

And she was suffering, so she had to kneel down obediently, and then Yaosi also knelt down.

Yao Si just heard that the man died, but he didn't think much of it. With the current influence of the Zhang family, dead people are nothing.But just now he heard that the one who died was an official of the imperial court, he seemed to be very powerful, and he was so frightened that he lost his mind.Kneeling on the ground, his face was ashen, and he looked half-dead.

"Who is the sufferer?" Wen Taichang asked with a slap on the gavel.

This was actually asked, and suddenly no one spoke.

Yes, who is the sufferer?The serious sufferer is dead.It was Mrs. Jia who reported the case, but Mrs. Jia is from Yi Xue's side, so she can't be regarded as the victim.Not to mention Chunhong, she said just now that she didn't know this person.

Suddenly there was no sufferer, and the lobby was suddenly quiet.

Yi Xue suddenly felt a little weird, but Wen Taichang's complexion was dark and solemn. After a while, seeing no one spoke, he said solemnly, "If there is no one who suffers, then we will leave the court, and Yao Si will be locked up in the prison, waiting for the judgment of the Holy One."

Chunhong was dumbfounded, she was thinking of using this to bring Yi Xue's family, but now she found that this lawsuit has nothing to do with her.

"My lord", Chunhong is not reconciled, she managed to direct this scene, why did it just end up like this?

"Who is kneeling and why?" Wen Taichang asked.

"Min, Minnv Chunhong is Yaosi's wife, no,... she is a concubine, because Wang Yixue spread rumors that I had an affair with the deceased, please, please make a clear decision", Chunhong was so nervous that she could hardly speak.

Wen Taichang glanced at Yixue and asked, "Wang Yixue, is there such a thing?"

Yi Xue stood up, and said generously, "My lord, the girl did not say this, nor did she seriously hurt her. All the uncles in the village can testify."

Yi Xue looked at Chun Hong coldly, and if she wanted to pull me into the water, she had to have real evidence.

Master Wen looked at the people who came from Huawang Village, and the village head stood up, "Your Excellency, it is true that Miss Wang Yixue never said that. It was Yao Si who said that, and the death was caused by Yao Si's anger."

The matter was clear at a glance, and Chunhong suddenly felt that she was simply too stupid just now.It was Yaosi who scolded the deceased, Wang Yixue never said such words from the beginning to the end, and she just forgot because she jumped the wall in such a hurry.

"Is there evidence that Chunhong had an affair with the deceased?" Wen Taichang asked Xiang Yaosi.

Yaosi's face turned sallow, and he raised his head and said in a daze, "My lord, I... I, I saw the deceased in my house, flirting with Chunhong, so I got angry for a while, so..."

He lowered his head heavily, already explaining that the deceased and Chunhong did not do anything to leave the cabinet.

Wen Taichang nodded, "Chunhong doesn't follow women's morals, stays alone in a room with grown men, and has bad behavior. in jail awaiting trial"

Chunhong didn't expect this to be the result, she looked at Master Wen in a daze.I didn't expect that if I steal the chicken, I won't lose money, and I will be boarded.

"My lord, the girl is wronged. It was Wang Yixue who killed that man, and it has nothing to do with my husband. Please enlighten me." Chunhong was in a hurry. If Yaosi was locked up, she and Xiaoqi would have no place to live.She now realizes how stupid what she did was.

"How do you say that Miss Wang Yixue killed the deceased? Do you have evidence?" Wen Taichang asked again.

Chunhong was stunned for a moment, and said hastily, "Yes, I saw that she ordered Mrs. Jia to kill the deceased?"

Yi Xue sneered, she could really spread rumors.

Wen Taichang nodded, and continued to ask, "How did you see Mrs. Jia kill the deceased?"

Chunhong was speechless for a while, how did she kill it?She couldn't find the reason at once, and after thinking for a long time, she had to say, "It was strangled to death with hands."

"You, you are just messing around." Aunt Jia was startled, and hurriedly knelt down, "My lord, please investigate clearly, Chunhong framed me."

"Sister-in-law Jia, don't make any noise, your lord can make a clear decision," Yi Xue said lightly.

Wen Taichang saw Yi Xue sitting so peacefully, he really admired Yi Xue's calmness, and said, "Please do an injury test, is there any trace of pinching?"

Wu Zuo immediately checked the wound with the medicine box, and said after a while, "My lord, there are no obvious pinch marks on the neck. This person died of serious injuries to his fists and feet."

Chunhong sat down in a daze, it was over, all her hard-working plans were over.

Mr. Wen slapped the gavel, and said angrily, "Chunhong framed others, according to the law, she will be imprisoned for ten days and fined ten taels of silver."

What?Chunhong was stunned, and now she knew what it meant to shoot herself in the foot.

Detained for ten days and fined ten taels of silver, he was so anxious that he fainted immediately.

Both Chunhong and Yaosi were imprisoned, and the people in the village all left after testifying.Only Zhang's family stayed behind, and Master Wen, Xiao Yu and others all went to the back hall.

"Sister, what's going on? Why did you beat someone to death?" Wen Ruonan and Mrs. Wen had already waited in the back hall when they heard the news, so there was no need to elaborate on their worries.

Yi Xue was very moved, and took Wen Ruonan's hand, "Sister, don't worry, listen to my sister."

Yi Xue told the story again.

"Did Chunhong do it on purpose?" Wen Taichang asked hesitantly.

Yi Xue nodded, "It should be the sign, but we don't have evidence, then Mr. Xu Ge is really wronged. He once saved the little girl, but..."

Yi Xue was a little sad, she still admired Xu Ge very much, and she was able to defy power.But who knows that he died under the design of a little girl.She was a little sad, really sad.

"This woman is really pretending to be smart, but it's a pity that her cleverness was mistaken by her cleverness, but this matter is a bit tricky, Mr. Wen, what can you do?" Xiao Yu said solemnly.

Yi Xue rarely saw such a serious expression on Xiao Yu's face, she knew that things could not go well.

Wen Taichang frowned, thinking quickly, "I have to tell the truth to the Holy One, but I'm afraid that someone with a heart will tell the truth, and I won't be able to tell the truth when I have something to say."

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly, "You girl, it's really difficult to deal with such a thing now."

"My lord, my son, you have to help us too." Mrs. Zhang also knew the seriousness of the matter. If the emperor was furious, it would be fine to punish Yao Siyi. If he punished Lian, the whole family might not escape .

"Mother, don't worry, I believe His Majesty will not kill innocent people," Yi Xue comforted.

"You are calm, hehe." Mr. Wen smiled, and then said, "Actually, it is the fierce reaction of the anti-monitoring censors. The final spearhead may be aimed at me, but it will not do you much harm."

"Why is that?" Yixue asked.

"That's simple. Xu Ge's death was based on the circumstances of the case, and Yao Si was executed. But if someone with a heart attacks Mr. Wen, saying that Mr. Wen's jurisdiction is unfavorable, resulting in no security for officials in Kao City and chaos in law and order. Just a dereliction of duty. Let Mr. Wen take off his armor and return to the field," Xiao Yu interjected.

so serious?Yi Xue's own estimation is still light.

"Execute Yao Si?", Zhang's face was pale, she hated Yao Si, but also secretly hated Yao Si for not living up to expectations, but she was still very sad to let Yao Si die.

Yi Xue took Zhang Shi's hand, "Mother..."

"Master Wen, I will explain this matter to my grandfather, and I will speak for you in the court. Now please write a memorial, and I will send someone to take it over overnight, and send it to the Holy Master before the Supervisory Censor launches an attack." Xiao Yu said.

Master Wen hurriedly thanked him, "I ask the old prince to take care of you."

"This matter was also caused by my family, my lord sees that we still have something to do," Yi Xue asked, and now she really realized that she can't do anything, power is indeed a killer.

Xiao Yu shook his head, "Stay at ease, don't go anywhere during this time, and keep it secret."

Yi Xue nodded, said with a wry smile, "Thank you, my son."

Xiao Yu felt a little upset when he heard Yi Xue called the son of the world, but he didn't say anything.

Yi Xue's family rushed back overnight, halfway, Zhang said palely, "That child Xiaoqi is also poor, take it to the yard."

Yi Xue hummed, and told Aunt Jia to pick up the child.

When she arrived at Fuyuan, Yi Xue asked Aunt Jia to arrange a place for Xiao Qi. The child was afraid to speak, so she timidly called Mrs. Zhang, "Ma'am!"

"Yixue, talk to me," Zhang said.

Yi Xue knew that Mrs. Zhang was working very hard now, and Yao Si might be sentenced to death, but no matter what, he lived with his mother for several years.She nodded and followed into Mrs. Zhang's room.
