Chapter 443 Scissor Noodles (5)
If yesterday was just a guess, even though the guess was extremely probable in every respect, it was a guess after all, and it wasn't until Lin Fei came here today that Wen Mingtang was able to confirm this one.
After that, when I went back, I rubbed ink and wrote the complaint.
Liu Yuan brought Zhao Youshi to Ye Mansion when he was eating at night.
Ordinarily, I chose this time to enter the mansion because I wanted to meet Ye Zhouxu and Ye Huai, and by the way, "notify" them that they had entered the Ye mansion to pick up someone.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were not at the mansion. Hearing that Princess Liyang was unwell, she forcibly "called" Ye Huai away. Ye Zhouxu was worried about his son, so he followed them together.
So...although it's not quite the same as what they originally thought, but...it's easier to mention people.
Master and son were not around, and the yamen came to pick someone up, and the stewards of the Ye Mansion were "loyal" and came to stop them at the right time, especially the girl Wen who the yamen wanted to mention was specially ordered by the lord to take good care of her.
"My lord has gone to the palace and will be back soon! This Miss Wen is an old lady from our lord, can you please wait for a while and discuss it after my lord comes back?" The manager said, "If someone takes away for no reason... "
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yuan: "What is no reason? She and the rebel King Yu murdered her cousin back then. This is a serious crime of human life. She is a murder suspect. Is this no reason?"
The steward: "..." How could he know that the frail girl Wen would be involved in any murder case? And it was his cousin who killed him? That appearance... eh, but it can't be said that way, who said that a person with a weak appearance can't kill someone? Don't you see that many of these weak-looking people are poisoned or killed with a knife! As far as that Miss Wen in the mansion behaves, it is indeed difficult to hear the human nature below, and it is really difficult to say such things...
The steward made a stunning effort, Liu Yuan waved his hand, Zhao You took the lead, cleared the way first, and led the people into the Ye Mansion.
The steward who came back to his senses said, "Maybe it's a misunderstanding" when he saw this, and hurriedly chased after him.
Such words like "Maybe there is some misunderstanding" certainly couldn't stop Liu Yuan and the others, but Liu Yuan didn't let anyone stop the steward who was chasing after him.
The steward tried his best to "stop" the last game, and when Ye Zhouxu and others came back, he would have an explanation.
Because they had figured out where Miss Wen lived a long time ago, Liu Yuan and the others didn't need anyone to guide them, so they rushed over directly.
Although it is "under the fence", Wen Xiutang's temperament will not be a quiet one. This can be seen from the sachet on Ye Huai's waist.
Her yard is in the northeast corner of Ye Mansion. Although it is remote, the sound of the piano can be heard coming from the northeast corner.
At this time, who can play the piano in the yard, besides Wen Xiutang who lives in the yard?
After feeling again that there was really no similarity between Master Wen's cousin and Master Wen's cousins, Liu Yuan took Zhao You in and broke in with Wen Xiutang's exclamation. The queen of the piano pulled it up and was ready to take it away.
The law is strict, so I don't care if she is a delicate woman or something else. To kill is to kill, Master Wen sent not only a complaint, but also physical evidence and witnesses from the street on the same day in Jiaofang.
Although there is no direct evidence that Wen Xiutang murdered King Yu, Wen Xiutang had a close relationship with King Yu. Master Wen was hunted down in the street and went to Jiaofang. As soon as Master Wen left, Queen Yu went to find Wen Xiutang, and then Afterwards, the order in which Master Wen was chased and killed by people has many witnesses for each of these incidents, and the timing is completely right.
Furthermore, Master Wen also handed over the most important physical evidence—a gold and jade seal bestowed by the imperial court.
Everything that was bestowed by the emperor is recorded in the book. Wen Mingtang, who received the reward of a hairpin from the queen, said that he had only heard about it before, but now that he has received the second reward, he knows it all.
The source of the imperial gold and jade seal was quickly found out. It didn't come from someone else, but it was given to King Yu by the late emperor Zeng Yu.
After King Yu’s accident, his house was ransacked. Because of the complicated and trivial objects in the mansion, he has not finished counting until now. Many imperial gifts were not found, but unexpectedly, Master Wen handed over a gold and jade seal along with the complaint at this moment.
While pushing and shoving, Wen Xiutang argued: "I was not allowed to enter Jiaofang, King Yu...that enemy became my guest, and everything was out of necessity. Even if he killed someone, what does it have to do with me?"
Have to? Liu Yuan cast a glance at Wen Xiutang, and said: "When Miss Wen entered Yeting back then, how did she find a way to catch up with King Yu and beg King Yu to take you out of the palace to escape the 'sea of bitterness'? Wang, because of this, several ladies in the Jiaofang injured their legs and feet and couldn't dance for half a year, what's more..."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Xiutang's face turned red, and she hurriedly interrupted Liu Yuan's words: "That's it... It's just because I have been rich and well-clothed since I was a child, and I couldn't bear hardships, so I had to do it. So, what does his murder have to do with me?"
What a "last resort", Liu Yuan rolled his eyelids, and said: "Whether it's Yeting or Jiaofang, Miss Wen has always been low-key. Many people know about your past, so there's no need to look for it." More explanations. If you insist on justifying, it's okay, I don't mind making an extra trip to Ye Ting Tong Jiaofang."
Wen Xiutang moved her lips, and glanced at the eyes of several Ye family maidservants looking at her, knowing that after she was taken away, the words of the temple minister surnamed Liu would definitely reach the ears of Ye Zhouxu and others , Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Some things are guessed, and you can pretend not to know if you haven't found out, but once you are found out...
From the corner of his eyes, he looked at the sneering expression of Si Cheng surnamed Liu on the opposite side, knowing that if he were to continue talking about his past, things would only get worse, Wen Xiutang pursed her lips and did not care about this matter After making more excuses, he turned to say: "I have never done anything to kill!"
"Which one said you did it directly? The accusation is that you assisted King Yu in killing people, and you are an accomplice!" Liu Yuan said, "Because there are all personal and material evidence, Miss Wen is seriously suspected, so she should be brought back to Dali Temple for interrogation."
After saying all this, Liu Yuan stopped talking, waved his hand, and took Wen Xiutang away.
After everyone in Dali Temple left, a few maidservants of the Ye family who were ordered to "take care" of Ms. Wen asked the steward at the side: "So... when the young master and the others come back, how should the slaves explain it?"
The steward sighed, and said: "Let's tell the truth! How could the people from Dali Temple come to arrest people without evidence?" How could he, a small steward, stop this group of guards? Under such circumstances, even the master can't stop him in the mansion!
…
Hearing that Liu Yuan and the others successfully brought Wen Xiutang back, Wen Mingtang went to the prison after eating the evening meal to meet Wen Xiutang who was brought here before he could eat the evening meal.
After a few months of separation, I finally...see her cousin again!
