Chapter 338 The Truth Comes to Light

"Uncle Yan, I'm afraid you still need to come to this matter." Xiao Wu had asked Uncle Yan for help before, but this time he thought it was not a big case, so he didn't want Uncle Yan to take action.

Uncle Yan didn't refuse and followed Xiao Wu away, leaving Ye Mingzhu where she was.

She didn't want to stay in the yamen for long, so she went straight to Sweetheart Place.

Sweetheart Place’s dim sum business is so brisk that it opened on the second day after the Lunar New Year.

It is only open half a day every day, but it sells quite a lot of dim sum, most of which are bought to visit relatives and friends.

Ye Mingzhu has been sitting on the stool in a daze ever since she went to Sweetheart Place.

Ruan Linlin and Wu Yue looked at each other for a few seconds, but neither of them bothered her.

About an hour later, someone from the yamen came to ask Ye Mingzhu to come over.

Ye Mingzhu looked at the visitor's expression. He seemed very relaxed. She asked, "Who is looking for me? Is there anything you want to talk about?"

The visitor replied respectfully, "Master Cui is looking for you. He just said you'll know when you go."

Only then did Ye Mingzhu get up and go to the yamen.

Xiaowu was talking to Uncle Yan, and both of them had faint smiles on their faces.

"Mingzhu is here. Now you can rest assured. Your third uncle is fine and can go home tomorrow." Xiaowu said immediately when he saw Ye Mingzhu.

"It's all thanks to Uncle Yan this time. Uncle Yan still has a solution." Xiao Wu kept praising Uncle Yan.

If Uncle Yan hadn't been here this time, the case would probably have been delayed for a while.

Ye Mingzhu looked at Uncle Yan: "Uncle Yan, what method did you use to solve the case so quickly?"

Uncle Yan waved his hand: "They are just some little tricks, it's hard to bring them out."

"Let me tell you." Xiao Wu first looked outside to make sure there was no one around before he walked up to Ye Mingzhu and told her about Uncle Yan's plan.

It’s actually very simple, just cheat the other party.

Although they were not sure who had injured the person, they were certain that it had nothing to do with Uncle Ye.

All the people who were imprisoned were held in solitary confinement. Uncle Yan asked someone to pretend to be the injured person and testify against one of them.

Of course the other party refused to admit it, and Uncle Yan didn't let him say more. He just locked him up and took the same measures again, calling all the people in.

Later, I told them that anyone who deliberately concealed the truth would be punished more severely, while those who voluntarily made the confession could have their sentences reduced at the discretion of the court.

But after only half an hour, those people could no longer bear it and confessed one after another.

This incident not only has nothing to do with Uncle Ye, but also Uncle Fang was also caught in an unprovoked disaster.

Those people were thugs from all over the place. Uncle Fang called them here to scare Uncle Ye and then borrow money from him.

But he knew that his sister's family was now selling salted fish and collecting pearls and making a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Ye refused to lend the money. They wanted to steal the money but failed.

Although they captured Ye Yunping, Uncle Fang still had some conscience and did not let them harm Ye Yunping. In a fit of rage, the thugs robbed a passerby.

When Uncle Ye went there, the passerby had an argument with the gangsters and was stabbed.

The thugs asked Uncle Fang to send Uncle Ye away. Uncle Fang was in a hurry and accidentally pushed Uncle Ye down, which caused blood to stain his clothes.

After Uncle Ye left, the gangsters realized that the passerby was bleeding so much. They just bandaged him casually and didn't pay much attention to him.

It was because Uncle Fang was worried that Uncle Ye would find out about this that he asked Fang Niu to test Uncle Ye.

Then the village head reported the case, and when the yamen runners went to check, they happened to see them throwing passers-by out, and they were caught red-handed.

Now that the truth is out and Uncle Ye is fine, they are relieved.

"That guy surnamed Fang keeps saying he's related to Uncle Ye and that he didn't kill anyone. Mingzhu, are you related to him?"

Xiaowu suddenly asked.

"No." Ye Mingzhu shook her head directly. She was not lying. If it weren't for Fang, they would have no relationship at all.

"Whoever commits a crime must be punished. If he commits a crime, you should deal with him in any way you can without considering anyone's face."

Not to mention that Ye Mingzhu and Uncle Fang had no relationship at all, the fact that the other party was so cruel as to kidnap his own sister's child meant that he was not a good person.

She was already being polite by not mentioning the fact that Uncle Fang had kidnapped someone.

Xiao Wu nodded: "Okay, I understand. We'll see what happens."

The matter ended here and was resolved, and Ye Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaowu talked to Uncle Yan again and wanted him to come to the yamen to help. Uncle Yan shook his head. He had lived an easy life in recent years and didn't want to go back to those days.

"I'm going to treat you as my juniors. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely help you."

As soon as Uncle Yan said this, Xiaowu's expression improved a lot. He didn't know how to express his gratitude.

Seeing that the work had been done, Ye Mingzhu did not plan to stay in the yamen for long. She asked what time she could pick up Uncle Ye in the afternoon and then left.

When the time came in the afternoon, Ye Mingzhu and Uncle Yan were waiting outside the prison.

Uncle Ye came out with his head hung low, and when he saw them, tears started streaming down his face.

"Mingzhu, you, you will be Uncle San's biological daughter from now on."

Uncle Ye walked forward a few steps and stopped beside Ye Mingzhu.

"Everyone in the government office said that it was thanks to you and Brother Yan's help, otherwise I might not have been able to get out this time."

Uncle Ye saluted Uncle Yan again, and Uncle Yan held his arm.

"Mingzhu calls me uncle, and you are her uncle, so if I help you, it won't be considered helping an outsider."

These words made Uncle Ye's face full of guilt. Uncle Yan's kindness to Ye Mingzhu just highlighted his previous indifference to Ye Mingzhu.

Ye Mingzhu didn't let him express his gratitude again.

"Uncle San, I've sent a message to Aunt San. Let's go back first so that Aunt San won't worry about us."

Uncle Ye nodded continuously: "Okay, go home, go home now."

Ye Mingzhu asked Third Uncle Ye to get on the carriage and handed him a meat pie first: "Third Uncle, you must not have eaten well in there these days. Eat something to fill your stomach first."

Uncle Ye wiped his hands on his body before taking the meat pie wrapped in oil paper and taking a bite.

"It smells so good." Uncle Ye swallowed the meat pie whole and sighed from time to time.

Ye Mingzhu handed him another water bag to prevent him from choking.

Uncle Ye nodded, picked up the water bag and took a sip.

Ye Mingzhu didn't care about Uncle Ye's words of thanks. They didn't have much contact now anyway. As long as Uncle Ye didn't affect Ye Yun'an's future studies, it would be fine.

Uncle Ye started yawning after finishing his meat pie. He really hadn't gotten much sleep in prison these days.

Ye Mingzhu waited until they reached the village entrance before waking him up. He opened his eyes dazedly and heard Fang's voice coming from outside the carriage.

"Mingzhu, Mingzhu, is your third uncle back?"
