Chapter 269: Borrowing Strength (Update 1)
Su Wei had just finished interrogating Ye Heng, and he didn't know if he already knew that they hadn't found any hard evidence to prove that he murdered Ye Zheng, so he refused to admit it.
According to the procedure, if nothing else is found, the case will be closed.
Although Ye Heng committed several crimes, they were not punishable by death. In addition, with the involvement of others, it might not be impossible for him to save his life.
Su Wei had a headache. When he saw Ye Chutang at this time, he felt even more apologetic and his tone of voice slowed down a lot.
"Miss Ye Er's injury hasn't healed yet, why are you here?"
Ye Chutang paused and said, "I have something important to do. I need to see my second uncle."
Su Wei frowned.
"This...I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
His Majesty attaches great importance to Ye Heng's case. They dare not slack off in the slightest, and the supervision is naturally more strict.
Not to mention Ye Chutang, even direct blood relatives of Ye Heng's family would not be allowed in.
Ye Chutang looked hesitant.
Su Wei asked again: "What do you want to see him now?"
He really couldn't understand why Ye Chutang appeared here.
"If there is anything you need, I can do it for you."
After a moment of silence, Ye Chutang said, "Master Su, you may not know that my cousin Ye Mingze suddenly fell ill last night and has passed away."
Su Wei was shocked: "Are you talking about Ye Mingze? How could it be——"
This is too sudden!
"Yes. Because the blockade there has not been lifted yet, there are many inconveniences in doing things. But if I don't tell my second uncle about such a big thing, I'm afraid I will regret it in the future."
In just a few words, he had already made his purpose clear.
Su Wei stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "It's hard for you to still be thinking about these things at this time... How about this, I'll go back and tell Ye Heng for you. But... he is still in custody, so I'm afraid he can't go back."
It doesn't matter whether he goes back or not.
Anyway, as long as the message is delivered, it will be fine.
Ye Chutang nodded and thanked him: "Then I'll trouble you. Please also tell my second uncle that he doesn't need to worry about the things outside. I will take care of Mingze's funeral and do my best."
Su Wei nodded: "Your injuries haven't healed yet, but you have to take care of all this. It's really tiring."
The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly, and his eyes and eyebrows were gentle and clear.
"It's as it should be, wherever it is."
…
After watching Su Wei turn around, Ye Chutang withdrew his gaze and returned to the carriage.
The servant was a little surprised to see her: "Second Miss, how come you are back so soon?"
Could it be that... I couldn’t get in and see anyone?
Come to think of it, that's the Heavenly Prison, how can one just enter it?
Ye Chutang nodded his chin and said, "I didn't go in, but I met Lord Su from the Dali Temple and asked him to pass on the message."
Lord Su?
That could only be the Dali Temple Minister Su Wei! A third-rank official in the imperial court!
The servant was a little excited: "What a coincidence! They say that Lord Su is very strict, but I didn't expect that he would be willing to help!"
Ye Chutang smiled.
Su Wei has been running around in these places these days. Judging from his anxious expression when he went to Dingbei Marquis Mansion yesterday, it was clear that there was still no progress in the case.
Given his personality, he won't give up easily and will definitely come to interrogate in person today.
Of course she knew that she couldn't enter the Heavenly Prison, and she had no intention of looking at Ye Heng's face that refused to acknowledge her.
Just come around here and if you happen to meet Su Wei, just ask him to convey your message.
Even though Ye Heng was extremely angry, he had no place to vent it.
Well, as long as she knew that he was not doing well, she felt relieved.
"Go back home."
