Chapter 425: Meeting (Part 2)
Xiao Chengxuan subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from, and his heart suddenly beat fast.
Shen Yanchuan...why did he ask that?
Could it be——
impossible!
Shen Yanchuan wasn't even in the capital back then, how could he...
Xiao Chengxuan forced himself to calm down: "Since he said that I did those things, then I will naturally ask him for evidence!"
Chen Yanchuan nodded slightly, as if to show his understanding.
"What the King of Qi said makes sense. If there is no evidence, wouldn't it be a wrongful conviction? It would be even worse if it turned out to be like the case of General Huo, where someone was wrongly accused."
He said this calmly, but Xiao Chengxuan found it irritating, and he always felt that Chen Yanchuan was referring to something.
But at this moment he didn't care about the truth of those few words.
Those people died or walked away back then, he didn't believe that Shen Yanchuan really had such great abilities, so he brought out the evidence from that year!
Everyone's eyes were also focused on Shen Yanchuan.
Or curious or doubtful.
Chen Yanchuan seemed unaware of it, and instead turned his head to look at Xu Fengchi.
"Master Xu, I remember that when Miss Ye Er returned to Beijing, she went to the Xu Mansion to pay a visit."
Xu Fengchi was stunned. He didn't expect him to ask this suddenly. He nodded: "Not bad."
It was no secret that he had a good relationship with Ye Zheng, and after Ye Zheng's death, he had been working hard for him.
Ye Chutang went to Xu's residence to express his gratitude, and many people in the capital knew about it.
Chen Yanchuan continued, "I wonder, besides the letter from General Huo, did she hand over other items to Lord Xu?"
Xu Fengchi paused.
In fact, he and Ye Chutang had indeed been in contact before that.
During this investigation, Ye Chutang had given him some hints and clues, both explicitly and covertly.
only……
"No."
Xu Fengchi shook his head.
"At that time, she and her younger siblings had just returned to Beijing and had nothing. I felt sorry for her siblings who had no parents or brothers to take care of them, so I specially handed over the few relics that I had kept."
Shen Yanchuan asked: "Relics?"
"Yes." Xu Fengchi exhaled lightly, "After Ye Zheng and the others got into trouble, I was unable to arrive as quickly as possible. Later... I found a way to get a few items left at the scene."
There was a hint of admiration in everyone's shocked looks.
In front of His Majesty!
Xu Fengchi actually admitted it so directly!
In theory, it is not allowed to take anything from the crime scene without permission.
Xu Fengchi is really brave!
Of course, Ye Zheng was an honest official, and although he took his belongings with him when he left, there was actually nothing valuable in them.
Most of it was taken by Ye Heng without any expression.
What Xu Fengchi could get were probably just some small gadgets.
But this kind of feeling is truly sincere and rare.
"I wanted to give her some gold and silver, but she refused."
Now it is clear.
During that visit, Ye Chutang only accepted a few relics of her parents and brother.
There is nothing else.
Xiao Chengxuan was listening at the side, but he had a sense of something was going on - was Chen Yanchuan trying to find evidence from Xu Fengchi?
How ridiculous!
Ye Chutang was only fourteen years old at that time. He was suddenly assassinated. I guess he was so scared that he didn’t care about anything else.
She was lucky to be alive, but Shen Yanchuan actually thought that she could get some evidence and keep it for today?
Xiao Chengxuan couldn't help but sneer:
"Chen Yanchuan, do you want to find this evidence now? Can you force yourself to get something that doesn't exist? "
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him indifferently.
Xiao Chengxuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
He couldn't see through Shen Yanchuan, and he could never guess what he wanted to do.
But there is one thing: Chen Yanchuan is interested in Ye Chutang!
This matter has already involved Ye Zheng, so for Ye Chutang, Shen Yanchuan will never let it go easily.
What else will he do...
A faint smile flashed across Chen Yanchuan's lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He looked at Ye Heng again.
"You were responsible for most of the affairs of Lord Ye Zheng's family. If there were any clues, they must have been erased?"
Ye Heng's face looked extremely ugly.
If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?
But it’s no use saying this now!
Xiao Chengxuan was already getting impatient.
"After all, it's nothing more than pulling Ye Heng out to make false accusations! Whatever he says, it's all true? Chen Yanchuan, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, just come forward! Don't use these messy methods--"
"Miss Ye Er once told me that when her father was assassinated, she was able to escape death and save her life because of her brother's desperate protection."
Shen Yanchuan interrupted him, his tone calm.
However, when everyone heard this, it was not difficult for them to imagine the situation at that time from these simple words.
Xiao Chengxuan was speechless for a moment, and the hall fell into silence, with only that voice as clear as jade remaining exceptionally clear.
"She said that her brother was shot with thirteen arrows and bled to death, but he held her in his arms from beginning to end and never let go for even a second."
Xu Fengchi suddenly thought of the young man who was full of vigor and vitality back then, and closed his eyes reluctantly.
No one had expected that a young man as proud as pine and cypress would end up like this.
To outsiders, these few words summed up the ending of Ye Zheng, his wife and children.
Only those who have experienced all of that remain in that nightmare, living a long and tormenting life.
Everyone was silent.
Chen Yanchuan looked at Xiao Chengxuan with cold eyes, and said word by word:
"She said that she opened her eyes and saw with her own eyes how the thirteen arrows pierced into her brother's flesh and bones one by one."
Xiao Chengxuan's heart sank suddenly!
It was like an invisible wave of terror, overwhelming him and swallowing him up in an instant!
He finally realized something and opened his mouth to stop Shen Yanchuan from continuing.
However, for some reason, his throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't utter a single syllable.
He almost didn't dare to continue looking at Shen Yanchuan, and his hands began to tremble slightly.
Chen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"She said that if she saw an arrow like that again, she would recognize it immediately."
"What a coincidence."
"She saw it again."
