Chapter 10 Why bother her?
When Ye Chutang arrived at the gate of the yamen, it was already surrounded by several layers of security, and everyone was stretching their heads to look inside.
The sound of a mournful woman crying could be heard from inside.
"Sir! Please let me see him! I beg you!"
Sounds somewhat familiar.
Ye Chutang walked forward, and someone noticed her and quickly made way for her.
"Doctor Ye is here! Make way!"
Ye Chutang stayed in Jiangling for three years. She was gentle, polite, and had excellent medical skills. Everyone respected her very much.
The trouble caused by the Cao family yesterday made many people feel suspicious. Fortunately, the government has found the real culprit today, so Ye Jia Silang’s suspicion is naturally cleared.
Seeing Ye Chutang again at this time, everyone remembered her courage in opening the coffin and performing an autopsy in public yesterday, and they were both in awe and fear of her.
A path soon cleared in the middle, and Ye Chutang finally saw the scene inside.
Zhou was crying and begging the officials to let her see Liu Si again.
The officer said impatiently, "It's no use kneeling down! Liu Si has killed someone and is a death row inmate! How can you see him just because you want to?"
Zhou's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had been crying all night.
"He is innocent... He is innocent!"
The officer looked as if he had heard a joke, "Unjust? He admitted it himself! How could it be false?!"
He waved his hands, "Alright, alright, go back now! Do you want us to ask you to leave in person?"
It was still raining at the moment, and Zhou was soaked, with messy hair, looking extremely disheveled.
She was distraught, with despair in her eyes: "So, so... he will definitely be beheaded?"
"What else?" The officer pushed her and said, "The Cao family is generous and has not taken their anger out on you and your son! Why don't you get out of here now!"
In this small town of Jiangling, this kind of murder is extremely heinous. Liu Si killed someone, and his family is too ashamed to continue living here.
Not to mention that the person he killed was the second young master of the Cao family.
Zhou lost her balance and fell into the water, a few drops of dirty water splashed onto the hem of Ye Chutang's skirt.
She leaned down and held Zhou's arm.
Zhou looked up blankly, and looked into a pair of dark and warm almond eyes.
Ye Chutang said gently: "Be strong, your child is waiting for you at home."
This sentence seemed to finally bring Zhou back to his senses.
yes!
Her six-year-old child is locked up at home alone!
If something happened to her, then—
Zhou wiped her face hurriedly, but found that her tears had already mixed with the rain and could not be distinguished.
Ye Chutang glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the bandage on her left hand had fallen off at some point, revealing a fresh scratch.
The wound turned white after being soaked by rain, and it was obvious that it was not deep.
It's not to the extent of using healing medicine.
Ye Chutang thought to himself that it was just as expected.
In fact, she was just guessing at first. She didn't expect Wu Xu to act so quickly, and she didn't expect Liu Si to be so cowardly that he told everything after only being interrogated for half the night.
Oh no, not all of them.
At this time, several people suddenly walked out of the yamen.
The crowd was silent for a moment.
Ye Chutang seemed to sense something and looked up.
It was Cao Chengwen.
He looked haggard and seemed to have not slept well the night before.
Coming out with him were his personal servants and officials from the yamen.
Standing on the steps, he saluted solemnly towards Wu Xu and the others, "Sir, thank you so much! The murderer was found so quickly! If it weren't for you, my brother would have died in vain this time!"
Wu Xu waved his hand, "These are what we should do. Master Cao, please accept my condolences and go back to persuade Boss Cao and Madam Cao."
Cao Chengwen nodded heavily, then gritted his teeth and said, "I never thought that my brother only scolded me a few times during normal times, but Liu Si held a grudge and killed him in such a cruel way! I ask the officers to behead him as soon as possible! Otherwise, we really can't swallow this anger!"
Wu Xu did not respond to his words immediately, but said politely: "We can understand your feelings, but the necessary procedures must be followed. Master Cao, don't be impatient. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, even if Liu Si wants to quibble and overturn the verdict, it will never be possible."
Cao Chengwen clenched his fists and wanted to urge him again, but he also understood that what Wu Xu said was right.
No matter how smoothly the case is investigated, it still takes a certain amount of time to solve it thoroughly. It is impossible to close the case today and execute the person tomorrow.
Although I am worried that the night will be long and dreams will arise, but there is no other way now...
Moreover, now that all the evidence is clearly laid out, there shouldn't be any further complications.
Cao Chengwen clasped his hands together, thanked them again, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, I was blocked after taking just a few steps.
"Master Cao!"
Along with mournful cries, a figure rushed over.
Cao Chengwen was shocked and quickly took two steps back, but he was still splashed with dirty water.
He looked at the person with disgust, but found that it was a woman in her twenties who looked familiar.
"Who!" he frowned and scolded.
"Master Cao! It's me! From the Liu family!" Zhou seemed to have found a life-saving straw, kneeling in the water and kowtowing continuously, "Please save him! Please save him! Our child is only six years old, he can't be without a father!"
Cao Chengwen frowned even more tightly and cursed coldly: "How dare you come to beg for mercy! Your man killed my brother, and we haven't settled the score with you yet!"
Zhou looked miserable.
If she had looked more clearly at this moment, she would have seen the deep warning in Cao Chengwen's eyes, but she was so panicked at the moment that how could she care about it?
The only thing in her mind was what Ye Chutang had just said - the child is still waiting at home.
Children...children!
Seeing that Cao Chengwen was about to leave, Zhou didn't care about anything else. She rushed over, hugged Cao Chengwen's legs tightly, and begged bitterly.
"Master! Master, please help me! Liu Si is so timid, how dare he do such a thing! He, he always listens to you, and he does this for--"
Cao Chengwen was angry and anxious, and kicked her hard in the heart!
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
He used all his strength in this kick, causing Zhou to spit blood.
Her head was dizzy, and the strong smell of blood between her lips and teeth made her chest churn.
The cold rain fell on my body, chilling me to the bone.
Cao Chengwen shouted angrily, "What are you standing there for? Take her away! You are embarrassing yourself here!"
"yes!"
Several servants immediately rushed over, looking ferocious.
At this moment, a gentle and clear voice suddenly came.
"Master Cao, she is a woman with a young child, she is already very pitiful, why do you have to make things so difficult for her?"
Zhou looked up and saw many figures in the rain. Everyone was watching coldly. The only one who stood up to speak for her was Ye Chutang.
Cao Chengwen sneered, "How could I be the one making things difficult for her? It's obviously her husband who did something wrong! Even if he is killed, it won't be enough to compensate my brother! If she continues to make trouble, she and her son will never have an easy life!"
This sentence completely tore apart Zhou's last bit of sanity.
She suddenly raised her head, staring at Cao Chengwen with red eyes, and yelled at the top of her lungs:
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't been behind it, how could Liu Si have been so cruel to the Second Young Master!"
