Chapter 287 Wait, his mind is a bit confused
Meng Shanchuan sent Nong Sanxi back to Qingshan Village, and Lu Yanshi's case for the day was also over.
Worried that his daughter had forgotten what she had promised him, Lu Yanshi took the initiative to ask her the next morning.
"Did Xiaojiu dream last night who was behind this and spread the news that the emperor was coming to Liyang?"
"I dreamed about it!" Lu Li nodded and told him the news she got from the melon-eating system.
"It was An Yitong, the deputy governor of Liyang City, who secretly sent someone to spread the news. He wanted to send someone to assassinate you."
Lu Yanshi's face darkened.
What a good An Yitong! He was caught and still managed to send a message out. He deserves to have worked here for decades.
"Those people who mixed in the crowd and deliberately made trouble yesterday were An Yitong's cousins. They were in collusion with the Tongpan of the neighboring Caoyang City." Lu Li called out the names of those people one by one.
Qu Fufeng on the side wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He felt like the Ninth Princess had a death note in her hand, and everyone whose name she mentioned would die.
"General Meng. Take care of these people and send them to Fuso Island to mine." Lu Yanshi gave the order expressionlessly.
"Yes." Meng Shanchuan nodded quickly.
Seeing that the important matters were handled, Lu Li immediately urged Lu Yanshi to go and judge the case: "Father, there are many people waiting outside, let's go."
Solving cases is so interesting, and you can enjoy a lot of melons.
Lu Yanshi carried her to the yamen, and when he saw the crowds of people outside waiting for their decision, his eyes darkened.
With so many cases, how long will it take to make a decision?
Fortunately, Xiaojiu is here.
Her melon-eating system can help a lot.
This time, the person who rushed into the court was a young woman in indigo clothes. As soon as she came in, she knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Yanshi repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, I, Cang Ruoyin, beg you to make that evil woman return my child to me."
Following closely behind her was her husband Zhang Gong.
Zhang Gong took her hand and tried to take her away: "Ruoyin, stop making a fuss. That's not our son."
"I'm not making trouble, that's my son." Cang Ruoyin shook off his hand fiercely and stared angrily at the woman behind her who was holding a child.
"There is a mole on the palm of Xiaobao's left hand. I can't mistake it. It was she who took my Xiaobao away that year."
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is not your child at all. This is my child. Are you crazy? I just came back to visit my relatives. Don't even think about taking my child away." Ye Zhenniang denied it sternly.
The child behind her seemed to be frightened and kept his head down and hid, refusing to show up.
"Xiaobao, don't you recognize your mother? I am your mother." Cang Ruoyin looked at the child, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Lu Yanshi had a headache.
After helping someone find the horse, now he has to find the child, right?
But the words have been spoken, and he is bound to complete the trial of this case.
He subconsciously looked at Lu Li.
Without waiting for him to speak, Lu Li immediately started eating the melon.
[Hey, auntie, please stop crying. This child is neither yours nor hers.]
Lu Yanshi:?
Wait, his mind is a bit confused.
[This child was born to your husband and his concubine.]
【The child you gave birth to that year was a daughter.】
[The concubine wanted her son to be the eldest son, and your husband didn't want his son to grow up with the reputation of being the concubine's son, so he secretly made a move and swapped your children.]
[The two children were born only one day apart. Your husband killed your loyal nurse and maid. You were surrounded by his people and had no idea that the children had been switched.]
Lu Yanshi was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help showing a shocked expression.
Cang Ruoyin below looked over.
"Your Majesty, that is my little treasure. I will not mistake him. I personally raised him until he was one year old. I remember every mark on his body clearly."
She begged Lu Yanshi desperately.
Lu Yanshi looked at her with some sympathy. This poor woman didn't even know what kind of beast the man next to her was, and her own child was still living outside.
"Present the petition first so I can take a good look at it." Although he already knew the truth, Lu Yanshi still followed the customary process.
He glanced at the petition and saw that it was clearly written.
The defendant Ye Zhenniang's family and the plaintiff Cang Ruoyin's family were neighbors separated by a wall, and the day the child went missing was his first birthday party.
After discovering the child was missing, the Zhang family immediately sent people to look for him, but the neighbors all said they had not seen Xiaobao.
That afternoon, Ye Zhenniang left her parents' home in a horse-drawn carriage and returned to her husband's home.
Cang Ruoyin thought that Ye Zhenniang left in a hurry. In the past, when she returned to her parents' home, she would stay for at least three to five days.
As a result, this time he left within less than a day after returning, and his behavior was very suspicious.
Moreover, when she came back, she took a bullock cart to the city gate and then walked back to her parents' home. But when she returned to her husband's home, she actually took a heavily covered horse-drawn carriage.
This is even more suspicious.
"Do you have anything to say?" Lu Yanshi looked at Ye Zhenniang.
"That day I learned that my child was sick, and I was worried, so I hurried back. After all, the carriage is faster." Ye Zhenniang answered calmly.
"This is my son Lin Tianci. He was born half a year earlier than his child. He is now five and a half years old. He doesn't match her child at all. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check. Everyone knows that I have a son named Tianci."
"Ruoyin, you've made a mistake. This child doesn't look like you or me, how can he be our little treasure? Let's not sue and go back." Zhang Gong pulled his wife, wanting to take her away.
"No, that's Xiaobao. I didn't hire a wet nurse. I fed him mouthful by mouthful of milk. How could I not recognize him?" Cang Ruoyin cried heartbreakingly.
"Xiaobao, Xiaobao, please look at your mother." She sobbed.
Seeing the guilty and impatient Zhang Gong and the grief-stricken Cang Ruoyin, Lu Li's sense of justice was overflowing. He could not bear it any longer and shouted, "This child is not hers, so of course he doesn't look like her."
When Cang Ruoyin heard this, she looked at Lu Li in disbelief.
"Ninth Princess, why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?"
Ye Zhenniang was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Your Highness is right."
She raised her chin and looked at Cang Ruoyin arrogantly.
"Did you hear that? Her Highness the Princess has already said that this child is not yours. Don't argue with me."
"Why are you being so arrogant? This child is not yours." Lu Li rolled her eyes.
Lu Yanshi looked down at her.
It seems that the child has learned bad things from Tiannanxing. Why don’t we send Tiannanxing and the third child back to the capital first?
Those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black.
Don't teach his little nine bad things.
Realizing that his father was looking at him, Lu Li was startled and quietly clenched his fists.
[Oh no, I was so excited that I forgot to tell my father that I was going to sleep first.]
[It's over, it's over. What should I do? How can I make up for this lie? 】
Lu Li was so anxious that her body tensed up.
