"Bang bang bang"

The gavel suddenly rang out, and the maids and mothers who were noisy and confrontation in the hall shrank their necks and dared not act rashly.

Only Aunt Fang looked sad from beginning to end, not for herself, but for the mistress who died.

The magistrate sitting upright under the plaque hanging high in the mirror asked selflessly, "Liu Qiuying, besides your guess, there is other evidence that Chen Fang bought the murder?"

"I..." Madam Liu looked at the magistrate at a loss, "Sir, I am definitely not a one-sided statement."

The magistrate was not moved by her crying, "But there are other witnesses who can prove your testimony?"

"have!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the high hall looked at her, "Who!"

Mama Liu, with a hint of joy of the winner, said, "Big Young Master."

"Brother Yao'er is still alive!" Aunt Fang, who was originally extremely sad, finally showed a hint of gratitude when she heard this, "Where is he? Take him home quickly."

Anyone who read it would feel that this aunt was happy about the news that Chen Yao was still alive.

The magistrate looked at the turbid and indifferent eyes of Madam Liu in the hall coldly, "Liu Qiuying, you once said that Aunt Fang bought a murder and killed Liu and the eldest son. At this moment, you said that the eldest son is still alive. Since the eldest son is alive, you should take him out to prove Aunt Fang."

"The eldest son... the eldest son is separated from me."

"What, you lost Brother Yao!" Qingju yelled in a raid, "No wonder you were going to falsely accuse my aunt. It turned out that she was afraid that the Chen family would hold you responsible for leaving the eldest son."

Madam Liu quickly waved her hand to defend herself, "No, no, we passed by Dawanshansi, and a group of killers disguised as bandits surrounded us. The guards tried hard to fight for us, but the killers chased the wife and refused to let go. The wife saw the clues and knew that these people were not bandits. They did not seek money, but came for her and the eldest son, so she handed over the eldest son to us and ran out..."

"But we are not familiar with Dawanshansi in the dark, and those killers have made some progress. In order to make the eldest son survive, we divided the troops into several groups and tried to lead the pursuers away, so... so... we got separated."

She kept kowtowing, "Please tell me clearly! The old slave dare not abandon the eldest son. As long as you find the eldest son, the old slave's testimony can be verified. The old slave is a loyal servant! Woo woo woo woo woo..."

The magistrate slapped the atrium and asked, "Since you said you ran away from the road, how do you make sure that everyone else has been killed, and how do you make sure that the eldest son has not been killed? Since everyone else has been killed, how did you, an old woman, survive?"

"The magistrate, the reason why the old slave escaped was because he was able to escape because he led the killer away. The old slave accidentally rolled down the cliff and hung on a tree, so he avoided their pursuit and survived."

Madam Liu was crying and described the incident on that night in a thrilling manner. "It was the afternoon of the second day when the old slave woke up. The old slave climbed up the cliff with his old bones and looked for it back... I saw the wife, coachman, and guards lying all over the floor. I went to call them one by one, but they all lost their breath."

He sobbed for a long time, "I searched everywhere and found the bodies of other guards, but I didn't find the eldest son. The eldest son is so smart that he must still be alive."

"Because of finding someone, the old slave wasted some time in Dawanshansi, but the old slave also gained something." She touched a piece of ragged cloth from her arms, "This was found by the old slave in a cave ten kilometers away from the killer's pursuit. This is the fabric of the eldest son's robe, which is made of high-quality Tianxiang silk, and the satin flowers on it were customized by the Chen Mansion. The magistrate went to Jinxiu Village to check it out."

She lay on the ground, holding up the fabric with her hands high, "The eldest son must be alive."

A yamen runner came down, took the material and put it in a tray.

Aunt Fang covered her mouth, "Yes, this is the material on Brother Yao'er's clothes."

"Mr. Magistrate, I just want you to send someone to get the eldest son back soon. Please give me!" Aunt Fang knelt on the ground weakly, "Brother Yao is the lifeblood of his sister and the treasure in the master's heart. How can he let him wander outside?"

Liu Ruyue also took a look at the fabric. It was indeed the dirty and torn outer shirt he wore when he met Chen Yao.

The clothes were too broken at that time. Who knew that when the child was running for life, the Tianxiang silk was scraped down on some branches and shrubs.

At that time, she guessed that Chen Yao was in trouble and did not dare to let him wear that outfit to sway.

Even if it is difficult to meet people in the mountains, it may be that when cooking, he threw his shirt into the fire and burned it to ashes.

Although it is not very elegant to wear the middle garment, after it is dirty, ordinary people cannot see the excellence of the middle garment fabric.

"Since the eldest son is still alive, let's find the eldest son first, Liu Qiuying, you are staying in the yamen and waiting for this period of time."

The magistrate looked at Aunt Fang again, "Liu Qiuying's evidence for Chen Fang is insufficient. If you stay in Chen's mansion during this period, you must not leave Floxacin, nor must you leave Dongting County. Otherwise, according to the law, you can be sentenced to escape for fear of crime."

"Yes, thank you for your wise magistrate. I hope the magistrate can send more people to find my eldest son." Aunt Fang was helped up by Qingju and Haitang.

She bowed again, "I would like to ask the magistrate to testify. I ask the yamen to help me issue an official missing person notice. If anyone can help get the eldest son healthy and healthy, he must get it back with all his needs. The Chen family will reward three thousand taels of cash."

"Aunt Fang is such a good person!"

"Yes, if it were the concubines of other families, I'm afraid I wouldn't expect the eldest son to die outside. Who would pay the money like Aunt Fang and post a reward order, three thousand taels of silver, that's not a small amount."

When Liu Ruyue heard the discussion in the crowd, she sighed in her heart. As expected, this drama today was designed for Chen Yao.

Although Aunt Fang still couldn't see any flaws, she would end up with a temporary guess and infamy when she took this risk, but after thinking about it carefully, there was indeed no evidence for this matter.

Even if Chen Yao comes back, he says his guess, who will believe it?

Guess can never be used as testimony.

Moreover, even if Chen Yao was not trapped or died outside and could not come back, as long as another witness came out to prove that what Mama Liu said was a lie and said that Mama Liu colluded with bandits to harm the master, Mama Liu would be doomed.

This is also the reason why Liu Ruyue rejected taking Chen Yao back to Chen’s mansion from the beginning.

If Aunt Fang was really as Chen Yao said, then Madam Liu could live, and Madam Chen would not have died. Madam Chen might be the chess piece that Madam Fang kept to save the siege.
