Chapter 273 The eldest son is the murderer

The sky was torn apart by black and the curtain fell.

The alley in the east of the city was quiet and no one noticed that a man had turned over and entered a house.

The man secretly opened the door, entered the room, and stabbed the bulge in the bed with the dagger flashing with cold light...

only……

The feel is wrong.

He hurriedly lifted the quilt, but there was still another quilt under it.

Realizing he had been tricked, he left quickly, but the moment he opened the door, he stopped.

There were several people standing outside, Yan Wenjie and his men, and...

The second son of the Yao family.

"Zhang Ji." The second young master Yao said these two words with gritted teeth.

The man tried to run away, but was subdued by Yan Wenjie's men...

The British man washed his feet and was about to go to bed when he heard a commotion outside.

The servant ran in hurriedly: "Duke, please go and have a look. The second son brought Master Yan into the mansion. They went to the eldest son's yard and said..."

Before the Duke of England could speak, his wife asked anxiously, "What did you say?"

The servant trembled: "Say...say that the eldest master is the murderer who killed the young lady."

"Nonsense." The Duke of England retorted subconsciously, but the Duke's wife frowned slightly and looked at the Duke of England with a complicated expression.

She got out of bed and put on her clothes. The Duke of England said, "It's very cold at night. Madam, please don't go. I'll go and see you."

The Duchess of England looked at him coldly: "If you don't go, I'll go first."

The Duke of England had no choice but to follow.

They arrived at the eldest son's courtyard together. It was very lively here. Yan Wenjie and his men came with ill intentions. The second and fourth sons were all there, but the eldest son still had an innocent look on his face, as if he didn't know what was going on.

The Duke of England frowned: "What's going on?"

The second son of Yao pointed at the eldest son and said, "Ask him."

The eldest son looked helpless: "Dad, I don't know anything."

The Duke's wife didn't wait for the Duke of England to say anything, and turned to look at the Second Master Yao: "Second Master, explain the matter clearly."

The second son of the Yao family sneered and pointed at the person kneeling on the ground: "Master Yan found out that his sister had committed suicide before her death, so he kept an eye on Doctor Wang. As a result, my eldest brother found out and sent his personal servant to kill Doctor Wang to silence him."

The Duchess of England did not quite understand.

What the Second Young Master said was really simple.

"Old Four, you go ahead."

So the fourth young master explained the whole thing in great detail so that everyone present could understand.

The Duke's wife turned around and looked at the eldest son after a while: "Did you ask the maid to pass the message to Luo Fen?"

The eldest son wanted to deny it, but Yan Wenjie said, "You don't have to deny it, someone in the mansion saw you with that maid."

The eldest son said, "I have some relationship with the maid, you can believe it wasn't me who spread it."

The Second Master Yao sneered: "Then why did you send someone to kill Doctor Wang?"

The eldest son shook his head: "I don't know."

He looked at the servant kneeling on the ground: "Perhaps this dog slave acted on his own."

The servant looked at him and lowered his head and said, "It was... I acted on my own. This matter has nothing to do with the eldest master."

The second young master kicked the man angrily.

The man fell to the ground and stopped talking.

The eldest son narrowed his eyes and looked at the second son Yao: "Second brother, I know you are usually dissatisfied with me, but you can't join forces with outsiders to frame me. How did my younger sister die..."

Before he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside. Everyone looked towards the door and saw the emperor walking in with his men.

Everyone's expression changed.

What is the emperor doing here at this time?

"Long live the emperor." Everyone knelt down and saluted.

The emperor said calmly: "Get up."

After everyone stood up, the emperor said, "I heard from Yan Qing that the murderer has been caught, so I came here to see him."

The people in the Duke of England's mansion all looked unhappy, and only the Duke's wife looked deeply at the Emperor.

"You continue." The emperor sat on the chair brought by Eunuch Li and watched the farce in the yard leisurely.

The eldest son's face looked very ugly.

The second young master sneered, "Brother, keep talking. How did my little sister die? Who asked the maid Qiu He to pass the message to her to go to Hua Street to find the emperor?"

The eldest son still had an innocent look on his face, as if he had no idea why the second son was targeting him.

He said helplessly: "Qiu He is already dead, there is no evidence, and it is not my fault. If my second brother insists on throwing dirty water on me, then I have nothing to say."

"Stop pretending, it's you who harmed my younger sister. Tell me, what did you do to her?" The second young master looked excited.

The eldest son sneered: "I walk upright, sit upright, and have a clear conscience."

An Jiu listened to their quarrel and felt deeply moved that it was so exciting to see men tearing off their hair.

but……

This young master is afraid that he will not be able to escape today. He doesn’t even think about it. If there is no sufficient evidence, can the emperor come?

In the afternoon, Yan Wenjie sent a message asking the emperor whether he wanted to come to the Duke of Yingguo’s mansion, saying that he had caught the murderer.

The emperor did not reply at that time, but it was almost time to go to bed at night, and he could not resist the temptation, so he brought An Jiu with him.

He wanted to see who the murderer was.

How dare you frame him?

An Jiu was also curious.

If the attempt to kill someone else was made by borrowing a knife, this matter would probably not have come to this.

Yan Wenjie said, "Gentlemen, please stop arguing. Since you want evidence, then bring it up."

Everyone looked at him.

Yan Wenjie first had a few maids brought up. They knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

Yan Wenjie started asking one by one.

"Where were you when Miss Yao came of age on April 13 last year?"

An Jiu thought that most people would not remember what happened a year ago unless it was something very special.

She looked at the maid.

The maid looked at the eldest son tremblingly. The Duke's wife narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "I have your indentures in my hands. As long as you tell the truth, I will guarantee your safety."

The maid then told her everything.

"On April 13 last year, the young lady's coming-of-age day, after the guests left, I cleaned up late. There was no one in the yard at that time, and I was about to go back to bed. Then...then I saw the young lady's door open, and the eldest master ran out in dishevel...I also heard the young lady crying..."

Another maid followed up and said, "It was also last year. I don't remember the day. The young lady smashed a mirror. I went in to clean it up and saw blood on the mirror. I heard the young lady instruct Qiu He to throw away all the mirrors. She said...she didn't want to see her face because it was too dirty. She even took a piece of the mirror and was about to scratch her arm. Fortunately, Qiu He stopped her."

The maid was so frightened at the time, and was threatened by Qiu He afterwards, so she didn't dare to reveal a single word.

There are some more speeches like this.

Next is Doctor Wang.

His face was bruised and he couldn't speak clearly.

"The young lady has hurt herself many times. Many times it was the eldest master who brought her here to get medicine, and even..." Doctor Wang swallowed his saliva and said with a stiff face, "Contraceptive soup."

After hearing this, the Duchess's wife had nothing left to understand. She rushed over angrily and slapped the eldest son in the face.

"Beast...what did you do to Luo Fen?"

The eldest son still refused to admit it. He looked innocent and said, "Mother, you don't believe me either? I really didn't do anything."

He is still quibbling.

"Since nothing was done, why did you take Miss Yao to Doctor Wang to get medicine?" Yan Wenjie asked with a cold face.

The eldest son said, "I felt sorry for my younger sister because she was injured, so I took her to get medicine. She also asked for the contraceptive soup. I was also very surprised at the time, but I am her brother after all. Since she didn't tell my parents about this matter but told me, I can't just ignore it..."

The Duke's wife pointed at him, her expression excited: "You...you..."

She was about to faint, and the Fourth Young Master quickly supported her: "Mom, don't be angry..."

The Duke's wife exhaled heavily and calmed down a little.

The eldest son added, "I don't know who my little sister has offended outside. She herself refuses to tell me and even secretly goes to the red-light district in the middle of the night... maybe..."

He smiled, and his nonchalant look shocked everyone.

Even the Duke of England could not utter a word.
