Chapter 75 Know each other? Who can make her surrender?
Yan Siqing was amused, but she suppressed her chuckle and paused with her gaze at the shovel, broom and other objects. There were mud marks on the handles of the shovels. She compared the heights of Liu Guangzhi and Chen Yue with the mud marks.
He felt a little strange, but didn't say anything. Then he went to Chen Yue's house.
No other clues were found on Liu Guangzhi's shoes or clothes.
There was no complete evidence against him, nor did it overturn the previous suspicions.
At this point, the Dali Temple will take the person back for interrogation.
It makes sense.
The village chief knew what was right and wrong, so he didn't stop them and was much more polite than before, but he knew who had the final say.
It's not that prince, but the beautiful woman who always follows him.
"Ma'am, do you have any questions?"
"Are there many stray dogs and cats in your village?"
".....not much."
The village chief was embarrassed and muttered something vaguely, but everyone heard it clearly: the villagers eat cat and dog meat.
These days, meat is valuable everywhere.
Some people even eat rat meat.
Yan Siqing didn't say anything. She looked at the furnishings in the house and, like Li Yu and the others, was sure that this was where Chen Yue lived in her daily life, and that she had lived and cooked here three or four days ago.
Li Yu picked up the rotten vegetable leaves placed beside the washbasin. The bamboo basket used to scoop up water was clinging to rotten vegetable stems, showing signs of having been eaten by insects.
"She left in a hurry."
"Were you about to cook? Or were you disturbed by something? You put down your work and walked into the house..."
Li Yu and others are analyzing.
Yan Siqing turned around, walked inside along the stove and sink outside, and looked at the cabinet.
The clothes in the closet are a mess.
There was some inner fabric stuck in the gap of the wardrobe on the floor.
When Yan Siqing stepped forward, Jiang Hui opened the wardrobe first and blocked her way with his hand.
Yan Siqing glanced at him and did not refuse.
Pull open.
The clothes that were piled up randomly inside fell out, including women's underwear.
this.....
What happened then?
Li Yu asked Liu Guangzhi, he was indignant that he was wronged, but he also knew that telling the truth was in his best interest, so he explained that after the incident, he came back from the county town, dealt with the body and other matters, and then cleaned up the house.
When it comes to cleaning up, he never shirks the responsibility. He is considered kind enough to just throw the clothes scattered on the floor into the closet.
"All her underwear fell to the ground. Could it be that this woman had an affair with a man outside? I was so angry..."
"My lord, my lord, perhaps her lover killed her."
"It's really not me."
He did not forget to attack Chen Yue, but at this time no one cared about his mood, they only judged the truth in his words.
This must be fake.
Chen Yue is ill, what mistress?
Liu Guangzhi is a man whose words are hardly trustworthy. He insults others as easily as drinking water.
If Li Yu hadn't wanted to check the evidence, he wouldn't have bothered to stuff the cloth into his mouth again and again.
Yan Siqing is good-tempered. The cabinet is a mess, but most of the clothes are the couple's clothes, so they should be kept separately.
The focus is on the drawer below.
There were traces of green juice on the drawer, which had dried up and were sticky and a bit disgusting.
But it's not surprising that Liu Guangzhi is a dirty person.
She just took a look, bent down, and gently opened the drawer through her handkerchief to see some big and small boxes inside. Judging from their size, they should be used to store hairpins and rings for women to dress up.
But now it's all empty.
Yan Siqing folded the handkerchief and looked back at Chen Xu and Liu Guangzhi.
"Are you buying jewelry for your sister? Judging by the box, it's from some famous jewelry store, so it must have cost a lot."
Chen Xu came back to his senses and replied, "Ah? I bought some. They're not expensive. I don't want anything expensive... She's already been looked down upon because she married the wrong person. I want her to live a good life..."
He stepped on Liu Guangzhi while speaking, but when he stepped forward to look at the drawer, his eyes widened, and he turned back to glare at Liu Guangzhi. He wanted to curse, but was still restricted by his speech.
Liu Guangzhi pretended not to see it and turned his head away.
Li Yu and the others looked carefully and found that all the boxes were empty. "Great! No wonder you came back to clean up the house. Did you steal all her jewelry before she was even buried?!"
Liu Guangzhi sobbed, as if he was arguing.
He would simply say that Chen Yue was his wife and everything about her belonged to him. It was all justifiable in terms of etiquette and law, so there was nothing to blame him for.
That makes sense, but it's really disgusting.
"You killed her just for the jewelry, didn't you?"
Chen Sizhi sneered.
Without waiting for Liu Guangzhi to deny it.
Yan Siqing said casually, "He didn't even follow the custom to burn Li Yue's clothes. He might have even given them away to the girls in the brothel. At least, he gave away the prettier outer garments and dresses that Chen Xu had given to Chen Yue."
She just looked at the clothes inside and they didn't match.
Apparently, there was someone who didn't understand romantic aesthetics and just took the coat away.
What else can a man like Liu Guangzhi do with his deceased wife's clothes?
——————
What? !
Everyone was stunned. The village chief took a deep breath and began to reflect on having helped this kid before.
What a disgusting beast, he doesn't deserve the surname Liu.
The old coroner pressed the solar plexus fiercely, muttering something to himself.
Jiang Hui touched his sword, and Liu Guangzhi's eyes flickered. He wanted to refute, but this time no one took away the cloth ball.
Yan Siqing had skipped over this matter and looked through the stored grain in the warehouse. His boots first stepped on some scattered grains and rotten sweet potatoes.
Will sweet potatoes rot easily?
The intact ones can be preserved for a long time, but if they are bitten, they will rot from the bite and go bad quickly.
She looked down at the rotten sweet potatoes at her feet, fluttered her sleeves, and turned to walk out.
In front of everyone in the village, he said to Li Yu, "Based on the results of previous interviews with villagers and the preliminary autopsy, Chen Yue died around dusk three days ago. At that time, the neighbors were still awake. If someone broke into the house and attacked Chen Yue, the surrounding area should have heard the noise. Chen Yue has no marks of a struggle, only puncture wounds from the rocks where she fell into the well. This means that she was either knocked unconscious by someone who approached her at home, or she was led to the ancient well on the mountain."
"The only ones who can do this quietly are our own family members."
"Having the motive and the means, and then selling the stolen goods for money afterwards, this is already a serious legal suspicion."
"The only suspect currently pointed to is Liu Guangzhi. Unless he can get someone from Fanhualou to testify that he was in the building the entire time and didn't return home, and he has an alibi, we can only arrest him and investigate further."
"Take it and take it away."
She took one last look at the room, turned around, her long skirt fluttering, and walked away from Liu Guangzhi without even looking at him.
Liu Guangzhi was struck by lightning and struggled to protest. "Go to Fanhualou, go there. I have witnesses. I didn't come back at all. I wasn't even in the village. It wasn't me... I didn't do it! Go ahead! Frame me, you are framing me..."
He was pinned down and stared at Yan Siqing's back with resentment, but quickly looked away because the hilt of the sword was against his crown.
He looked up while being detained on the ground, and met Jiang Hui's condescending gaze.
He shivered and peed.
The villagers outside were making a lot of noise, and the scene was bustling.
"The case is solved?"
"I didn't expect it was really Liu Guangzhi who did it. I said he was a dishonest person who never did his job and even took advantage of us."
"Hey, that's you. I didn't listen to him. He even killed someone. This guy is a beast."
"That noble lady is really amazing. It seems like she solved the case."
"It's terrifying. An ordinary woman can not only become an official, but also solve crimes? What kind of world are we in now..."
"Liu Guangzhi was just shouting that he had witnesses, those brothel girls in the county who could testify for him."
"Hey, he's still trying to make excuses, who would believe him..."
These people were talking about it.
The people from the Dali Temple and Yan Siqing and others got on their carriages and left in a grand manner, and soon disappeared.
But some people also noticed that two disciples stayed.
Li Yu and Chen Sizhi.
They said they stayed to continue investigating the scene, but someone discovered that they also went to the small shabby house in the fish pond to take broken bowls.
I don’t know what to do.
In Chen Yue and the other person's house, Li Yu locked up all the food according to Yan Siqing's instructions.
————————
Late at night, the villagers gradually went to rest, but Li Yu and the other man had not left yet. They just hid in Chen Yue's house, leaning against the window and chatting in low voices.
"Are you really coming?"
"Yes." Li Yu recalled Yan Siqing's instructions and said, "Liu Guangzhi's final defense was that he had witnesses who could prove he didn't return to the village to arrange the murder, and he repeatedly asked us to go to Fanhualou to investigate."
Chen Sizhi nodded. "When we left just now, Miss Yan also mentioned that if there really were witnesses at Fanhualou, everything would be overturned."
"To convict Liu Guangzhi, there must be other irrefutable evidence."
"But is there any way to kill someone without being at the scene? Could it be that someone else was in the county town, and Chen Yue went up the mountain by herself, and then accidentally fell into the ancient well?"
Li Yu: “Yes.”
"Miss Yan said yes."
Li Yu smiled coldly: "Some things don't have to be done by humans."
Then what is it?
ghost?
Li Yu: "Yes, to catch ghosts, we'll just wait here and wait for the ghost to fall into our trap."
Outside the window of the house, a black shadow hiding behind the thatched straw rolled its scarlet eyes and disappeared quietly, just like a ghost.
——————
After leaving the village, the team moved slowly along the official road.
Yan Siqing was in the carriage. Xiaoyun asked her if she was tired and took out some fruits.
Yan Siqing didn't refuse and picked a cake.
This was not the first time Xiaoyun watched Yan Siqing investigate a case. She was very curious and concerned about the case.
The main reason is that I feel sorry for Sister Chen Yue.
That Liu Guangzhi is really hateful.
"Why do I feel like he's very confident? It seems like the people from Fanhualou can really testify for him. He won't get away with it, right?"
Xiaoyun hated this person so much that even if he had an alibi, she felt that he was well prepared and was using tricks to exonerate himself.
It's really hateful!
Yan Siqing found her indignant look a bit cute. After eating the cake, she wiped her fingers on the handkerchief, and then...
Pinch Xiaoyun's face.
Xiaoyun: "Ah?"
She was stunned and then blushed, but Yan Siqing's originally gentle smile paused, and he withdrew his hand and folded the handkerchief.
Xiaoyun turned her head and saw the Crown Prince riding a horse outside the window, looking at her with a melancholy look.
It was as if Xiaoyun was a wall in the yard, waiting for the beautiful Hong Xing'er to climb over it.
————
No matter how jealous Jiang Hui was, he pretended to be calm and indifferent. He took the initiative to ask Yan Siqing in the sunset light, "Sister, do you think Liu Guangzhi is the murderer? Or do you know how he could kill Chen Yue regardless of whether he is present or not?"
Yan Siqing is a serious person. No matter who it is, as long as it involves serious matters, no matter what they have experienced in private or what their relationship is like, she can put aside her prejudices and personal feelings and talk to them seriously.
It was like this with Jiang Hui before.
The same is true now.
Human life is at stake.
So she replied: "In fact, His Highness and Li Sizhi must have felt something was wrong. Many details are strange."
Jiang Hui: "Yes, I do find it strange. For example - Chen Yue was able to guard against Liu Guangzhi and prevent him from coveting Chen Xu's money. She was also able to avoid him bullying Chen Xu every time. This shows that she knows Liu Guangzhi very well and is unlikely to follow him up the mountain to the ancient well and give him the opportunity to attack her."
"If it was Liu Guangzhi who knocked the man unconscious and dragged him up the mountain, it would have been impossible for him to do so given his physical condition."
"His body has long been broken. My sister asked him to dig holes and go down wells on the mountain. I think she wanted to test his physical strength. I took a look. Although he was still ill, his attacks were not as severe as those of women, but alcohol and sex had drained his body. Li Yue, on the other hand, was in good health and was taller than the average woman. It was impossible for him to carry the unconscious Li Yue up the mountain. Moreover, there were scratches on Li Yue's palms. Even though she was conscious when she fell into the well, she was rubbing the bottom of the well in an attempt to climb out."
"If the unconscious person is not dead, he is extremely weak. Coupled with the serious injuries, I am afraid he doesn't even have the ability to climb out of the well."
"So, it wasn't him who led Chen Yue up the mountain."
"But not a human either."
"Is it right?"
Xiaoyun was stunned, and her first reaction was to think of a ghost.
Jiang Hui looked at her intently with an attitude of serious inquiry.
Yan Siqing turned away, pressed the folded handkerchief against his lap, lowered his eyes and brows, and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Jiang Hui: "Then why don't you continue to ask me why I think so and where I got that idea from, and then let me continue?"
Yan Siqing: “…”
Jiang Hui: "I know you can see it all. I don't need to tell you, you know it too. But Xiaoyun wants to know, right, Xiaoyun?"
Xiaoyun: “….”
Your Highness, why do you have to use me as an inducement?
I am also a human being.
Besides, I'm asking my wife, what does it have to do with you?
Don't you have to ask your wife?
She was full of thoughts of disobeying her master, but she remained reserved and humble on the surface. "I will obey Miss Yan in everything."
Yan Siqing couldn't bear to see him bullying the little girl, so she frowned and told him to stop. But she also said, "The leaves by the pond have been gnawed, but if it were insects or ants, the bite marks would be fine and neat. The stems are clearly left by rodents, perhaps a larger animal."
"A lot of the grain in the warehouse had been gnawed, and left there uneaten, rotting."
"The juice marks on the drawers also came from these food residues - the wardrobe and drawers were all opened by this little animal."
Xiaoyun was shocked.
ah?
Jiang Hui breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought the same thing. "Sure enough, I guess it was its appearance that startled Li Yue, who was washing vegetables in the backyard. She panicked and ran inside, chasing it up the mountain. But if it was just it that showed up and rummaged through the house, it certainly wouldn't have caused Li Yue to chase it so desperately after dark."
"That little animal took something away, something very important to Li Yue, and it was something hidden in the drawer of that box."
Jiang Hui thought about what Yan Siqing had asked Chen Xu privately before leaving. No one knew, but Li Xu's expression and sign language should have meant - yes.
There was such a thing.
Jiang Hui thought for a moment, "Could it be their parents' relics?"
Yan Siqing said, "Chen Xu said there was a very ordinary Tian Qingyu, a pair, and asked the eldest sister Chen Yue to keep one, not to separate the two. It's not that the eldest sister is like a mother, but they hope that the two sisters will always remember that they have something with each other, and keep in touch, rather than taking their own halves and leaving and losing contact."
"It's worthless to Chen Xu now, but to the Chen family's parents back then, it was all their belongings. Even to Chen Yue, it's still valuable now, but it's not as expensive as the jewelry my sisters gave me."
In this world, life is difficult for women. The two sisters were helpless, one of them disabled. Their parents didn't have much valuables, so they gave the eldest sister a pair of jades. They hoped that if she was greedy and wanted to take the pair instead of giving it to the younger sister, they would at least take care of her in exchange for the value of the jades. Or, if the elder sister was kind and loyal, she would remember that her younger sister still had a place with her...
In fact, it is better than half of each.
But the jade and other small jewelry were gone.
Was it Liu Guangzhi who took it away?
Xiaoyun tried hard to understand, and finally understood. "Ah, you mean that Liu Guangzhi used this little animal to take the pair of Tian Qingyu. Chen Yue found out and chased him up the mountain to the ancient well. Because it was dark and the weeds were hidden, she didn't notice the edge of the ancient well and fell in."
This was too unbelievable. Could Liu Guangzhi even understand the wisdom of living beings and force them to do things for him?
Then why not just steal the money?
"What kind of animal is so easy to drive? Wait! Could it be..."
"Can you catch it then?"
"Oh, you told Sister Li Yu and the others to stay there to arrange this?"
Xiaoyun's eyes were full of brilliance.
Jiang Hui looked at Yan Siqing silently. The latter did not return his gaze, but responded to Xiaoyun.
"It's greedy and gluttonous. Judging from the latest sweet potato gnawing marks, it seems that it dared to sneak into Chen Yue's house yesterday."
"Then, come tonight too."
——————
At night.
The stealthy shadows climbed high and low, quietly emerging from the woods and entering the village.
Arrived at a place I was familiar with.
It is only a short distance away from Chen Yue's house. You can get there by climbing up the wall through the window or going down the chimney.
Da da da.
Li Yu and the other man who were hiding in the house looked at each other. Are they coming?
They all looked up at the rooftop.
The tiles seemed to be making a slight noise.
It’s coming, it’s really coming!!
The two men quietly grasped the Dali Temple's thorny weapons and stared at the cage clamps placed outside the warehouse.
Waiting to catch it alive.
——————
The sneaky shadow on the roof was about to get into the room with the most food, but it heard a strange whistle.
The green eyeballs rolled around.
The two people in the house were extremely nervous, but they also heard the subtle sound. Before they could react, the sound on the roof was faint and soon disappeared.
disappeared.
What's going on?
"Oh no, it ran away!!"
Li Yu and the other man were like headless flies, searching the house carefully and following the traces outside the window, but they noticed nothing.
The village is not small. If a small animal slips away into the darkness, it will be difficult to track it, not to mention the two of them, even if the entire Dali Temple is spread out here, it will be difficult to track it.
It’s over! ?
——————
But I don’t know.
The little black shadow sneaked into a small house.
Some distance away from Chen Yue's home, outside the village...
Fishpond cabin.
In the wooden house, there were bowls for feeding small animals. Although the food was damaged, it was not rotten after many days, but was often replaced with new food.
It has now changed to a new diet.
A person sat on the bed, watching with an expressionless face and waiting.
It knows it's coming.
It will slip out in a flash.
He heard that familiar voice.
A short whistle was held in the withered palm.
But, he didn't expect...
The door was pushed open.
Hmm? Had he trained it to push the door?
No.
The one who opened the door was a cold-blooded guard holding a knife.
Ruo Zhao suddenly appeared, pushed the door open, and stared at him coldly.
"Liu Dayuan, Liu Guangzhi's father, a craftsman in the county opera troupe."
"I've worked hard in the past to provide your son with pleasure and to repay the debt."
"It's even harder now to exonerate him."
Liu Dayuan was over fifty years old, but he looked much stronger and healthier than his son. Although his skin was withered, his bones and muscles were strong. His eyes were cold and fierce, but many craftsmen who made their craft by training animals were generally fierce and cold.
Because one's heart is not cold, one cannot cruelly tame living creatures.
Most people would find a silly puppy cute and feel warm when they touch it, so how could they dare to whip it or even bleed it?
He dares and can even train it to do many things.
For example...killing people.
He gripped the whistle tightly, perhaps nervous, perhaps numb, but he said nothing, just...
The whistle suddenly moved.
Blown.
There was a sudden sharp sound in the chimney.
“Oh no, he’s coming down?”
"He's going to let it get away!"
The little black shadow tried to rush out of the chimney where it was hiding, but a sizzling sound came from above.
Click, it didn't go out because Ruoqin had covered the chimney opening with a net bag.
It scratched ferociously, and Ruoqin on the roof above could see its hideous appearance under the moonlight, but it could not break the tough rope and could only jump down.
With a click, Ruozhao at the door saw a brown-haired, nimble monkey falling down the chimney, with its hair standing upright and its mouth open, revealing its sharp teeth.
It couldn't get out of the chimney and wanted to rush out the door, but Ruo Zhao drew his sword. Even if it was fierce, it recognized human weapons and knew how terrifying Ruo Zhao was, so it suddenly jumped out the window...
Outside the window, there was a slight movement, and a noose was thrown out.
Under Liu Dayuan's inevitable watchful gaze, under the moonlight, the rope instantly caught the neck of the monkey that jumped out of the window.
With a push and a pull, Ruoqin on the roof and the other dormant Dali Temple disciples all rushed out.
The monkey was covered with a large black cloth.
Liu Dayuan stared at the man holding one end of the rope in the moonlight.
That was the ultimate memory of harnessing war horses, from a former young general.
And behind his majestic yet calm and elegant presence, a more beautiful and calm figure slowly walked out.
Looking at him through the window.
Liu Dayuan knew he had lost.
Total defeat?
——————
The door was originally pushed open, and after Liu Dayuan was controlled, the monkey was also pulled into the house.
Yan Siqing looked at him and said nothing, but was sure that he was the real murderer.
Liu Dayuan wanted to talk more.
"You, you knew from the beginning that my son wasn't the real murderer, you knew of my existence, and you knew how I lured Chen Yue up the mountain? Maybe you even knew that I was driving a monkey."
"Then why not just arrest me? Why go through all this trouble with all this deception?"
He hid near the village and stayed in the wooden house at night. This scary woman should have seen through it a long time ago.
But he set up this game.
He said that the two disciples who stayed behind had publicly revealed that they had stayed, which was actually to lure him to eavesdrop and hear their plan - to catch the monkey.
He naturally couldn't let the monkey be caught by them, so he took action.
This was all part of the other party's calculations.
Terrible and incredible.
Liu Dayuan couldn't understand.
Li Yu knew why. "Because, whether we catch you or the monkey, if we only catch one, the case will never be concluded."
He was arrested, but there was no monkey as evidence. Even if there was any reasoning, there was no evidence to prove that there really was such a monkey that he could drive to harm people.
This conventional method of non-judicial definition is difficult to convict.
If he catches a monkey, how can he be sure that the monkey is his?
We can only do it together, that's irrefutable evidence.
Didn't Liu Dayuan just let the monkey escape? If it escaped, he could pass the buck.
Liu Dayuan also reacted, but sneered, "I don't recognize it now. This monkey is not mine. Who knows where it came from?"
This is just a quibble.
But it seems that he can successfully make excuses.
Li Yu's face darkened, but he couldn't refute.
Yan Siqing pointed at the broken bowl.
"You poisoned me."
"Deal with it right away, and there will be no more trouble."
Liu Dayuan didn't feel guilty at all.
"That's for poisoning rats."
you! !
The Dali Temple officials were angry.
Yan Siqing: "You've been tending to the fish pond lately, haven't you? I see the mud marks left by the hoe and shovel are at a height that doesn't match either Chen Yue or Liu Guangzhi."
"I'm against you."
She asked the village chief about the height of Liu Guangzhi's father.
The latter also said in advance that he was a helper in the opera troupe.
There are many kinds of helpers, and among the lower-class ones in the opera troupe, there is the monkey trainer.
But it can kill people.
Liu Dayuan's expression was stiff. He had never thought that such a small detail could be seen through by the other party.
"So what? My fish pond is mine. Can't I come back?"
He also didn't mention digging the swamp mud.
Just don't admit it.
Using monkeys to kill people is a very cunning method.
He knew it would be difficult to judge the case, so he refused to admit it.
Yan Siqing's eyebrows and eyes are indifferent.
"Because of the lack of a chain of evidence, you think you can shirk responsibility."
She said it in a certain tone.
Liu Dayuan sneered and said nothing.
Jiang Hui stood by the door and looked at the sky outside. He felt that he had worked too hard today and it would be difficult to return to the main city of Chang'an.
It's not appropriate here either.
Not a good place.
She can't sleep well...so the case should be closed as soon as possible.
He was about to speak.
Yan Siqing asked softly, "Where are the pair of jades?"
"Will you be able to give it to your son in time?"
"Maybe it's still in time, but before the storm settles, you don't dare give it to him, because if you do, it will be easily exposed. He doesn't trust his brain and character."
"So, even if you were wholeheartedly devoted to him, you still had something in reserve."
"The jade is with you."
Liu Dayuan's body froze.
Li Yu and others were eager to search everywhere here.
"No need to look for it, it's on him."
Yan Siqing reminded them, and Li Yu and the others looked at Liu Dayuan.
Carry it with you?
Yan Siqing didn't explain, but she knew that this person would bring the jade.
because......
"I'm so poor that I don't dare put things like this anywhere else."
Liu Dayuan carefully took out a pair of jades from his collar.
Warm with your heart.
"How can we leave our things lying around?"
"I actually hesitated about whether to sell it to that evil creature to pay back the money."
Li Yu's expression twisted and he asked, "Your family?"
Liu Dayuan: "Of course it's mine, what else?"
He is justified.
The old coroner said: "You killed someone to steal the jade, and you are still so arrogant. Don't you know the justice of heaven and justice?"
Liu Dayuan: "It shouldn't be considered murder."
What?
Lian Yan Siqing ignored what he meant.
Liu Dayuan was extremely dissatisfied at the moment. He lowered his eyes and muttered to himself, "She's married into my family, so she belongs to my family. Of course, her life and death are decided by my Liu family."
"It's been six years. How many years has this hen that doesn't lay eggs ruined the feng shui of my Liu family?"
"I was kind enough not to get rid of her in the early years."
"She even dared to bring up divorce and wanted to take the money and leave."
"hehe....."
The old coroner twitched his lips. He felt that he had aged ten years because of this case today. He even suspected that the reason he couldn't get married was because there were too many people like him.
What the hell!
Everyone was furious.
Only Jiang Hui and Yan Siqing were the calmest.
Liu Dayuan laughed a little, then looked up and stared at Yan Siqing and others.
"Do you think you won?"
"Even if they arrest me and convict me, my son is innocent. He has done nothing wrong."
"Hehehe, I'm just an old man, if I die, I die."
“It’s not a complete failure.”
"What can you do?"
Outside, Chen Xu had been suppressing her temper, but she heard everything and rushed in.
When Liu Dayuan saw this, his eyes became even more vicious, scanning her from head to toe, full of jealousy - because such a little girl actually had money! She made so much money, but she didn't give it to their family.
God is unfair!
"Why, you want to kill me? Do you have the ability to do that, you little mute?"
"Actually, you should blame this woman. If she hadn't continued investigating and really wanted to convict my son, I might not have been able to exonerate him."
"Now....hahahaha."
Yan Siqing turned around, walked past Chen Xu, and said a few words lightly.
"Does the lightness of beheading someone with a single blow seem to be the highest pursuit in your eyes?"
"Liu Guangzhi no longer has anyone to protect him. He's in debt, disabled, sick, and his reputation is ruined. What difference does he make from a straw dog?"
"Learn to use money and connections to get things done. They are like countless obedient monkeys that can make the lives of lowly people worse than death without leaving any trace."
"You won't be held accountable, and no one will seek justice for him."
"When you miss your sister and feel pain because of it, use him to satisfy the evil in your heart and comfort yourself."
"In fact, it doesn't prevent you from being a good person."
"By the way, there are actually many people in this village who can be used."
Yan Siqing's voice is like the beautiful feathers of a phoenix.
It is soft and beautiful, but the flames are burning.
Destroy people.
Liu Dayuan reacted, screamed, and tried to rush out, but was hit in the leg and elbowed, and fell to his knees.
He howled, cursed, looked ferocious, but panicked.
Chen Xu, a seventeen-year-old girl, was disabled at a young age. She relied on her talent to work hard for many years, suffered countless losses and hardships, but never had a guide and never learned any tactics. She stumbled and bruised herself, thinking that she could repay her sister just as her sister protected her.
She wanted to do everything to protect her, buying clothes and selling jewelry.
But I failed to do it.
It turns out that she hasn't grown up yet.
Really haven't grown up yet.
And now...someone is teaching her.
This is a method and mentality that no righteous person would teach.
It is sinister and unspeakable.
But Chen Xu needs it. She is so weak and can't even speak. She needs it.
Money speaks for her and helps her seize people.
In an instant, Li Yu and the others saw the little girl smile.
She looked at the originally scary Liu Dayuan and smiled, as if her attitude had become more elevated, just like the sinister way he trained monkeys.
"Okay, I will."
"lady."
——————
Madam Yan Shao of Yancheng has always been a very capable person.
Her tactics are not entirely cunning.
With the combination of yin and yang, anyone can become her pawn.
But it still doesn't prevent many people from being grateful to her, admiring her and following her.
This is the art and the situation.
When she got on the carriage to go back to the city, she stood on the edge of the carriage and looked at Jiang Hui who was holding out his hand for support.
