Chapter 303 A Conclusion Acceptable to All
The Ye family received a notice from the government saying that the bandits had been captured.
They hurried over, even though they already knew who the other person was.
When they arrived, the prefect looked worried.
"Master Ye, Lord Zhou is on his way, please wait a moment."
The prefect's words surprised some members of the Ye family.
Why should we wait for the Zhou family at this time?
Ye Cheng frowned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
He looked at his younger brother Ye Chi beside him, only to see that Ye Chi also had a confused look on his face, and was obviously thinking about other issues.
Seeing this, the prefect coughed lightly, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere: "Master Ye, this matter does involve the second son of the Zhou family. When we were writing the case this time, we also obtained some new confessions. It would be more appropriate if Lord Zhou was here..."
Ye Cheng nodded, but secretly thought in his heart that he should wait for Zhou Zhili to come over and talk together. Could it be that the hidden story behind this matter is really related to Zhou Yuzhi?
Just as his thoughts were in a state of confusion, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then Zhou Zhili hurried in with Ye Lanxin and Zhou Yuxiu.
"Father……"
Ye Lingyue, who did not go home yesterday, greeted Zhou Zhili.
After Zhou Zhili answered, his expression was still solemn. When the official asked him to come over just now, his words were indeed serious.
He greeted the Ye family again, and finally his eyes fell on the prefect.
"Sir, have you investigated everything clearly?" His voice was deep and powerful, and he tried his best to control his emotions so that no one would notice.
The prefect quickly bowed and said cautiously, "Yes, after capturing these people today and rigorously interrogating them, they've confessed everything. They all said that the Second Young Master of the Zhou family bribed them, otherwise he wouldn't have survived..."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhili had only one thought: This is outrageous.
Zhou Yuxiu was also confused. These people actually had a backup plan?
He narrowed his eyes and looked serious.
Not only them, the Ye family themselves didn't believe it.
Zhou Yuzhi is not such an impulsive person, and from the words of the prefect, it can be seen that there is something hidden.
"Besides that?"
"I found banknotes on them, but they weren't from the bank where the Zhou family kept their money. They even explained that the Zhou family was trying to hide their tracks... These explanations were reasonable, but when I asked them to explain the details, their stories were completely different. It's clear they were deliberately framing me..."
These words finally made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as this matter was not done by the Zhou family, everything will be fine.
"According to the evidence I have, it seems they were hired by a woman. This conclusion was reached after severe torture. However, after they finished speaking, they committed suicide. There's no way to investigate further now..."
When everyone heard this, they knew that Wen Zimei must have found a way to send a message to these people, so that they would confuse the public and bear the consequences.
Their families must have been compensated.
"The person behind this is quite resourceful. He even wants to use Yu Zhi to disgust us at this time..." Zhou Zhili breathed a sigh of relief.
The prefect had no way to convict Wen Zimei, which meant they didn't have to fall out with him.
Since they haven't fallen out, Wen Zimei may not be too wary of them.
The Ye family’s plan can continue to move forward.
"In that case, my son is no longer a suspect and can be released?" Zhou Zhili asked.
The prefect hurriedly said, "Of course. I will report this matter to the court and continue the investigation. However, your son can return home today."
Since they all live in Dizhou City, the prefect knows how to handle this kind of thing and who to give face to.
The Zhou family took Zhou Yuzhi directly to the Ye family, as they still had some details to check.
After all, someone in the Ye family really died, and we can't just pretend it never happened.
"Grandfather, Grandma, I'm so sorry. I was unconscious that day. If I were awake, I might have been able to detoxify my cousin in time..."
These words made Ye Keguan and Pan sad again.
Zhou Yuxiu frowned, thinking that his second brother was really hopeless.
He probably didn't dare admit how much he owed his mother. Once he admitted it, his failed life would be exposed.
The Ye family did not respond for a long time, especially Qin Kerou, who seemed to really agree with this statement.
Seeing this, Ye Keguan hurriedly said, "Yuzhi, this is not your fault. You are also a victim. Who could have thought that something like this would happen..."
Mrs. Pan also agreed: "Yes, Yuzhi, don't blame yourself. Our Ye family won't blame you. After all, it was your cousin who had those thoughts first, and you gave him the opportunity."
Zhou Yuzhi lowered his head and looked guilty.
Zhou Yuxiu, who was standing by, really felt it was ironic.
The Ye family said the same thing yesterday. It seems that they really figured it out last night.
What happened to Ye Chenglei was purely his own fault. What does it have to do with them?
Was it him who asked Ye Chenglei to ambush him halfway?
As for what he wanted to do by ambushing me, it was definitely not to treat me to dinner and drinks.
He just couldn't believe it. Could the Ye family really go against their Zhou family just for a dead son?
Zhou Zhili saw that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had expressed their stance, which definitely represented the attitude of the Ye family. Therefore, he also said: "Master Taishan Taishui, Yu Zhi is now fine, but the people behind him are despicable. Those bandits tried to mislead us before they died, which shows how vicious they are. From now on, we must be more careful to protect these children and cannot let them make any mistakes again, otherwise they will regret it for the rest of their lives."
"Of course. Our Ye family only has Chengchu as our legitimate son now. We will definitely do our best to protect him."
Shang Hongmian was the first to speak again, and her words stabbed Qin Kerou, who had just reconciled with her yesterday.
Qin Kerou always felt that she should say something, but when she thought that she no longer had a son, she simply kept silent.
"Since she has made our Ye family unhappy, she won't be happy either."
Ye Cheng spoke at this time, indicating that their action was about to begin.
"We have been keeping an eye on Zhou Qingdai's whereabouts. Zhou Jizhi is still easy to deal with, as he is currently studying in school and has a single route. Zhou Qingdai, on the other hand, seems to be well protected by her in-laws and has not appeared yet." Ye Chi said.
Zhou Zhili did not participate in the discussion, even though he could hear that the other party wanted him to participate.
"There's no way to rush this matter. Let's handle Cheng Lei's funeral first..." Ye Keguan knew what they wanted to do, but did not stop them.
Wen Zimei must pay the price, and he doesn't care if the retribution falls on Zhou Qingdai.
What surprised them was that Zhou Qingdai actually gave them the opportunity they were waiting for.
