Chapter 514 The Truth About Hong Chuang's Death

Zuo An gave the Yamen servant a wink, the latter stepped forward, took the small box from the old man's hand, and brought it to the case.

The small box is not made of precious wood, it is a very common box. The patterns on the top of the box have faded from the paint leather and are very mottled. In the gaps between the carved patterns, dry soil can be faintly seen.

Reaching out to open it, an unpleasant smell came to the nostrils.

Zuo An couldn't help covering his nose, and looked into the box, only to see that there was a yellowed letterhead and a few pieces of silver inside.

At this time, the old man Honghe said again: "The Caomin family are all illiterate peasants. Sir, I just found out that this box was left by my son Hong Chuang. He knew that he was going to die soon, so he just buried this box in the ground of his home, so that one day we can atone for his sins and beg for his unjust death. A justice!"

Hearing this, Zuo An took out the letterhead.

The letter was very thick, and Zuo An read it for a long time before finishing it.

The letter explained the cause and effect of Hong Chuang's collusion with Ye Li and the whole process, and also expressed Hong Chuang's final repentance, and finally pointed out that if something happened to him, Ye Li must have done it.

The letter stated that Ye Li was a lunatic, and his son was still in his infancy, so he began to plot his son's future, and, for his son, Ye Li would do anything.

As for the money, it was threatened from Ye Li after he was sold to Dongdu.

It was also because of this that Hong Chuang vaguely felt Ye Li's killing intent towards him during several threats, so he went home and buried these things.

An illiterate family, but a son who can read and write is so good?
And this son, why did he die unjustly?

Zuo An shook his head secretly, but finally passed the letter to Han Xiuru without saying anything.

Then he turned to Ye Li, "The evidence is convincing, what else do you have to say, just tell the truth!"

When he said this, Zuo An felt a little guilty.

Although Hong Chuang left these and pointed out that Ye Li was related to his death, the key point is that the letter only said "if", and there was no direct evidence against Ye Li!

But after all, Zuo An has been Jing Zhaoyin for so many years, and he has a thick and fierce face, so drinking like this is really a bit bluffing.

"Come on, let's go to prison!"

Seeing that Ye Li didn't say anything, Zuo An ordered loudly.

When Ye Li heard that the punishment was going to be executed, he couldn't help feeling a little bit overwhelmed.

He didn't know what was written in that letter, and he didn't know what kind of evidence Zuo An said was conclusive, but he knew that the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't help it!
Zuo An suspected that someone was behind the whole incident, and Ye Li, who was forced to surrender himself, was more clear and certain than him.

How could Hong Chuang's parents come by such a coincidence?

Obviously from the very beginning, he couldn't help himself!

Thinking of this, I can't help feeling a little desperate.

Do you not recognize it?
The son is still in that person's hands, and even if he denies it, the current situation is beyond his control!

Admit it, what awaits him will be a physical separation, and he will never see the day when his son becomes famous again!
But think about it, as long as his son is safe, stands out, and fights for Ye Li's lineage, he will die if he dies.

After so many years, he has lived enough!

Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, "It was me, I killed Hong Chuang."

As soon as the words came out, the old lady of the Hong family quit immediately, screamed, and rushed over, "You give back my son's life, give back my son's life, you crazy thing, give me back my son, give me back My son is coming..."

The hall was in chaos, Zuo An quickly ordered people to stabilize the rioting common people, and ordered people to pull away the crying Li Shi.

"My lord, you have to be the master for my son. Although my son has done something stupid, but the crime is not worthy of death, but he, but he killed my son. My lord, please be the master of my son... "

The two elders of the Hong family kowtowed and howled endlessly.

"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely pay justice to those who have been wronged." Then he ordered the servants to help the two elders up, and turned to look at Ye Li, "How did you kill Hong Chuang? And why did you kill him?"

Ye Li's eyes were dazed, and he told the story.

Thirteen years ago, after Ye Li took Xiaoye Chaoge to another place to sell, he returned to Beijing to let the little beggar spread rumors. Not long after, the Qi family sold Yu Nanny and Hong Chuang and the others.

After that, Hong Chuang went to Dongdu, contacted him, and used this as a threat to threaten Ye Li to compensate him.

At that time, Hong Chuang didn't expect that he would end up like this, and he felt aggrieved.

At first, Ye Li was able to hold Hong Chuang steady, but gradually, he became impatient. At that time, the Ye family hadn't moved their ancestral graves, and Ye Sishu hadn't gone to the Duke's mansion.

There is not much silver left to sell gold bracelets before.

And Hong Chuang asked for money frequently, and every time the lion opened his mouth.

Ye Li could no longer take it out.

With no money, Hong Chuang threatened to reveal the matter, which made it hard for everyone. Ye Li had had enough of his threats, so he simply did nothing and kept going, so as to eliminate Hong Chuang's future troubles.

On the pretext of giving him silver ingots, he went to Dongdu, met Hong Chuang in private, and asked Hong Chuang to secretly take him into Wang's mansion on the grounds that he had nowhere to live. At night, while Hong Chuang was asleep, Knocked him out and threw him into the well, faking the illusion that Qi Ye stepped into the well by accident.

"After you killed Hong Chuang, how did you escape from the Wang Mansion?"

Ye Li lowered his head, "There is a dog hole in the backyard of the Wang mansion. Hong Chuang let me enter the Wang mansion through the dog hole. After killing him, I left through the dog hole."

Zuo An shook his head, probably that Hong Chuang would never have dreamed that he would lure wolves into the house!
And just lost his life.

After Han Xiuru finished recording the confession, he went forward and handed it to Zuo An for review. After there was no problem, he handed it to Ye Li for him to review.

"If there is nothing wrong, let's make a bet."

Ye Li had given up struggling, and stamped his handprint on the confession.

Zuo An closed the case after reading it.

"The prisoner, Ye Li, first kidnapped Ye Chaoge, the second young lady of the Ye family 13 years ago, and later killed her accomplice, Hong Chuang. His heart is culpable, his deeds are heinous, and his crime is extremely heinous. Today, my official, Jing Zhaoyin Zuo'an, accepts the case. After investigation, the crime Clearly, the prisoner confessed to what he did, and the prisoner Ye Li will be executed now in three days to show that he is listening!"

The verdict fell, the gavel fell, and after nearly a day of public trial, the curtain finally came to an end.

Seeing Ye Li's end, the common people clapped their hands and cheered, saying that your lord is wise.

Amid the applause and swearing, Ye Li was dragged away by the yamen servants and put in a death row prison, waiting for the death penalty at noon three days later.

"Retire!"

The public trial, which lasted nearly a day, has now concluded.

The truth that Ye Chaoge lost 13 years ago is revealed today.
