Zheng Zhao's brother-in-law was named Ye Zipeng, and he was the accountant of a shop.
It is said that he once went to a garden to collect debts. As it was his first time there, he lost his way and ended up in a small courtyard. He inadvertently heard people talking inside.
Then when he hurriedly retreated, he was discovered. He repeatedly apologized, but the other party didn't say much at the time and let him go. When he came out, he asked the people in the garden and found out that the person inside was "Mr. Lin".
When he came back, he found someone following him, and later he found that a stranger was staring at their house.
Ye Zipeng felt something was wrong and wanted to ask Zheng to leave.
Zheng refused to leave and arranged for someone to send Zheng Zhao away. However, Zheng Zhao sneaked back by accident. When he came back, the incident had already happened. He only knew that their whole family was dead and his sister Zheng was convicted of murdering her husband.
When I went back, the housekeeper Uncle Zhong was also missing.
Speaking of which, Uncle Zhong was probably in great danger. If Zheng Zhao hadn't come back secretly, he would probably be dead now.
Now that he thought about it, Ye Zipeng must have heard something extraordinary, otherwise he would not have made the decision to ask Zheng to leave. But until now, he didn't know what Ye Zipeng had heard.
Song Fen, the young clerk who was taking notes, had already started wiping his sweat. Yan Shiyue glanced at him lightly, and Song Fen quickly lowered his head and continued taking notes.
...
...
Yan Shiyue asked him: "Do you have any evidence?"
When she asked, she didn't really have much hope, but Zheng Zhao said, "Yes."
The young man's eyes were firm: "Your Highness, I know who did it."
At that time, he only knew the three words "Lord Lin" mentioned by the housekeeper, but he was the only one with the surname Lin in the cabinet, so he didn't have to worry about making a mistake.
Fortunately, when Zheng asked her to leave, she took a lot of silver. He went to great lengths to find out the human traffickers who often came and went in the Lin Mansion, and then sold himself to the human traffickers.
In fact, mansions like the Lin Mansion do not often buy people, and this human trafficker has frequented many mansions. Whenever the person being sold is not from the Lin Mansion, he will ask someone to redeem him. After three consecutive attempts, he finally entered the Lin Mansion.
He was well-educated and handsome, and soon won the favor of Dalang, Lin Weizhong, the eldest son of Lin Fujian, and became familiar with everyone from the upper and lower classes.
It took nearly two years to finally find out who the people who often did the secret work were, and then made friends with them. Who knew that one time when he went out with them and passed by the original Ye residence, he pretended to be scared and told them not to go this way, saying that there was a female ghost who killed her husband here.
Then one of them, named Zhao Di, smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if there is a female ghost, she will only look for you, Uncle Zhao."
He tried to get more information and confirmed that this was the person who did it.
He wanted to avenge his sister, but he didn't want to kill just this one person because Lin Fujian was the culprit.
But he was the only son of the Zheng family, so he wanted to leave a descendant for the Zheng family, and then go to the court to file a complaint.
So he once again asked someone to redeem him. Less than two months after returning to the garden, he unexpectedly ran into the emperor going to the palace. He never expected that the emperor would actually go to their garden. So he couldn't help but tell it all.
Yan Shiyue had been listening quietly. Then he suddenly asked, "Has the owner of the garden been with you all this time?"
Zheng Zhao was stunned.
He lowered his head after a long while and said, "Your Highness, no matter what happens, this matter has nothing to do with my godfather."
Jiahe said: "Just answer directly! Now that we are here, do you still want to hide it?"
"Yes." Zheng Zhao whispered, "I didn't know where to go at the time, and I was running around everywhere. He saved me, and then he fell ill. I had money and cured him. He then accepted me as his godson and has been helping me ever since."
Zheng Zhao's character was really determined. He saw the enemy with his own eyes and found out with his own mouth that the enemy killed his sister's family. She didn't know how he managed to hold back from exploding.
Yan Shiyue asked: "Who else is there in the Lin Mansion besides Zhao Di?"
Zheng Zhao: "I only know four people: Zhao Di, Zhou Dabai, Sun Kang, and Yao En."
Yan Shiyue asked someone to get the official document from the Ministry of Justice, and then asked Jiahe to send someone back to Chang'an as fast as possible. After asking Yan Chengyuan for the people, he went directly to Lin's Mansion to bring these people here.
Li Jinzhong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to go out immediately, but he found that the yard was cordoned off and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
The Yulin Army is easy to deal with, as there are always a few familiar faces who can be used to build relationships, but outside are Yan Shiyue's Dragon Guards, who obey her orders and will not allow them to enter or leave if she says so.
The ministers in the court were also somewhat uneasy.
That person had never been in their hands from beginning to end, so no one knew who this person belonged to or who he was suing, so they could not help but test each other.
Lin Fujian's youngest son, Lin Weixin, was in the Yulin Army. He came over quietly and said to him, "Why do I think that man looks like Zheng Dao, your servant?"
Lin Fujian's expression was not right at that moment.
It's impossible that the servant in his house is suing someone else! No matter what the complaint is, it has something to do with him! I'm afraid...If he sues, it will be a big one!
The next day, Qu Sinian came to find Yan Shiyue, and Yan Shiyue saw him.
He asked him, "Prime Minister, could you tell Si Nian who this person is suing?"
"Sure!" She said bluntly, "He sued Lin Fujian for murder and silencing him."
Qu Sinian's expression changed slightly: "Master Lin? Lin Fujian? "
"right."
"What exactly is it for?"
Yan Shiyue said: "It was a case three years ago. It was said that he sent someone to kill a family of three."
Qu Sinian asked: "Is there any evidence?"
"Not yet," Yan Shiyue said, "Aren't we checking it out? We'll find it after we check it out."
Qu Sinian held his forehead with his hand: "Prime Minister, can you please explain it to me clearly? What exactly do you want to do?"
Yan Shiyue said: "I have explained it clearly enough! But I don't know anything at all now! I will tell you when I find out clearly."
Qu Sinian asked: "What about now? What is the Prime Minister doing now?"
She said, "Send someone to the Lin residence to get a witness." She whispered to him, "It's still confidential, don't tell anyone else!"
After Qu Sinian came out, he walked slowly along the road with a frown on his face. Zhang Zhizhi, a doctor in the Ministry of War, greeted him: "Sinian, where are you from?"
"I walked around," he smiled in return, "the scenery here is nice. Look, there are two trees growing side by side, which is quite interesting."
The two chatted briefly for a few minutes before going their separate ways.
Zhang Zhizhi looked around, put his hands behind his back, and walked away slowly.
