Chapter 239 Zheng Shi is imprisoned, and Yu Chunyue is beaten with a cane.
Under the influence of the truth-telling charm, Yu Chunyue quickly confessed all the details of what happened back then.
No matter how much Zheng tried to stop them, it was to no avail.
Finally, Zheng was imprisoned for malicious assault, and the verdict will be announced at a later date.
Another day later, the verdict for Zheng's trial was announced. She had nearly caused the death of an innocent pregnant woman and her unborn child, and had also taken the pregnant woman's daughter away. Her malicious intent was very obvious, and she was sentenced to ten years in prison.
Although Yu Chunyue did not intervene at the time, he later knew that Yu Zhiyi was the victim's daughter and still abducted her. Despite the seventeen years of kindness in raising her, it could not offset his mistake that day. He was sentenced to three months of imprisonment and twenty strokes of the cane.
Zheng burst into tears on the spot.
Yu Chunyue felt his vision go black.
That's it, the Zheng family won't let him get away with this.
Yu Mengqin still held a sliver of hope, feeling that he could make a move.
After all, they are rich, and his father was an official for so many years, so he wasn't without connections.
Even if those people flatter the powerful and belittle the weak, they will still agree for the sake of money.
Unfortunately, he was too presumptuous.
From the moment Yu Chunyue was sent by the palace to testify, Zheng's fate was sealed; it could only get worse, not easier.
Yu Zhiyi was not surprised when she learned about this.
That day, she foresaw that Zheng would face imprisonment in the future, so she did not take action to retaliate, but she never expected that this imprisonment would come about in this way.
She quickly put the matter out of her mind.
How the Yu family is doing now has nothing to do with her.
She is currently busy dealing with matters related to Yi Luan Charity and case files.
She needs to take a month's leave, which means she needs to review all the case files for that month in advance. If she can find the murderer, she will deal with him on the spot.
Even if the murderer cannot be found immediately, clues will be provided so that the people of the Dali Temple can search for him.
In the past, she could only perform three divinations a day; doing more would leave her feeling exhausted and unable to keep up.
Therefore, she only handles one case file each day, and uses the remaining two divinations to deal with troubles from life.
Since entering the Foundation Establishment Realm, her divine sea has grown much stronger, and now she can perform four divinations a day without any problem.
So, she only needs to process two case files a day, and use the remaining two to deal with life's troubles—that's enough.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Dali Temple was short-staffed and unable to handle too many things in a short period of time, she would have even thought of only leaving herself one divination per day and leaving the rest of the opportunities to work on the case files.
Even though she had come at a leisurely pace, the Dali Temple staff still felt their scalps tingle from suddenly receiving so many clues.
You have to understand, these active-duty constables aren't just sitting around doing nothing. Shengjing is such a big city, all sorts of things happen every day. Murder cases that are hard to find in small places are not unusual in Shengjing.
Within just a few days, Yu Langzhong assigned them more than a dozen tasks, making all the staff of the Dali Temple wish they had eight arms and ten heads to handle the problems.
Left with no other choice, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review had to temporarily change his strategy and establish a "Recent Cases Department" to integrate and take charge of those old case files.
Even if the data cannot be processed in a short time due to insufficient manpower, it can still be integrated.
Then, we'll do it one by one.
That day, after Yu Zhiyi finished processing the three case files and organized the materials to be sent to the Dali Temple, she got up to stretch her limbs and then planned to head home.
Looking up, I realized the table opposite me was empty.
Li Rou said, "Lord Li didn't come today. It seems his daughter-in-law is about to give birth."
Yu Zhiyi nodded.
Just then, Li Yuanwailang came in from outside, with a servant carrying a basket behind him.
As soon as Li Yuanwailang saw Yu Zhiyi, he said with a smile, "Doctor Yu, are you done with your work? It just so happens that my daughter-in-law just gave birth to a big, healthy grandson for me. Here are some red eggs, have some."
Eating red eggs is a custom in the Great Sheng Empire. When a child is born, a pot of red eggs will be boiled and given to neighbors, relatives and friends. On the one hand, it is to share the joy, and on the other hand, it is to let others share in the family's happiness.
Yu Zhiyi asked Li Rou to get it, and was about to thank her, but frowned when she saw Li Yuanwailang's face.
Her attention had been focused on the basket in the servant's hand, and only now did she notice that the area around Li Yuanwailang's children's palace was very dark and was getting darker.
She accepted the eggs as a return gift and then reminded them, "You should go home and see your son as soon as possible. It would be best if you brought a few more servants with you. If you go back too late, you might have to bury your son."
Li Yuanwailang was taken aback, and the smile on his face froze.
He was somewhat displeased: "Doctor Yu, I'm sharing my joy with you, why are you cursing me?"
These days, Yu Zhiyi has demonstrated remarkable crime-solving skills.
Whenever she came into contact with a case file, the murderer was always caught within a few days.
Li Yuanwailang saw all this and, although he had some doubts, he still leaned towards the idea that Yu Zhiyi solved the case by analyzing the loopholes in the case file.
As for her ability to predict the future...
If she were truly that capable, how could she not have figured out her own origins? How could she not have figured out that she wasn't the biological daughter of the Yu family?
Sensing Li Yuanwailang's displeasure, Yu Zhiyi didn't say anything more.
For the sake of those few red eggs, she only offered a reminder; if the other party didn't believe her, she wouldn't force them.
She called out to Li Rou, "Let's go."
After Yu Zhiyi left, Li Yuanwailang felt very uneasy.
Although he didn't believe that anything could have happened to his kind-hearted son, he was already starting to have doubts. He wouldn't feel at ease until he went back to check on him.
"If my son is alright, I will definitely give her a good dressing down!"
How could a woman, who had never taken a proper exam, be on equal footing with him?
He had disliked her for a long time.
Li Yuanwailang didn't even bother distributing the eggs; he hurriedly led his servant back home.
Just then, he ran into Constable Song on the road. With the intention of getting Constable Song to testify for him, he stopped the man, repeated Yu Zhiyi's words, and then said, "Constable Song, come with me and take a look. If something really happens, you constables can handle it immediately if you are there."
Upon hearing that it was Yu Zhiyi who spoke, Chief Constable Song agreed without hesitation: "Alright, I'll trouble Lord Li to lead the way."
Ever since that night, Constable Song has treated Yu Zhiyi like a goddess.
If Doctor Yu says that something bad will happen to Lord Li's son, then something bad will definitely happen to the other party.
Thinking this, he reminded the constables behind him, "Be alert, the villains could be extremely vicious."
Li Yuanwailang: "..."
What's the deal with these constables?
Have they all been bewitched by Yu Zhiyi?
The group arrived at the Li residence.
The area outside the Li residence was quiet.
Although he was somewhat skeptical, Li Yuanwailang, just to be on the safe side, still asked the gatekeeper, "Has anyone suspicious been loitering outside today?"
The gatekeeper shook his head: "Reporting to you, sir, there is no one suspicious."
Li, the official in charge of the household affairs, then asked, "Has the young master gone out?"
The gatekeeper replied, "Sir, he just went out for a while, but he's back now."
Li Yuanwailang glanced at Constable Song.
See?
Nonsense.
