Hearing these high-sounding words, Yan Mingzhu smiled instead, "What a righteous and awe-inspiring speech to seek justice for the soldiers who died in vain. I have a few questions that I would like to ask Miss Jiang.
First, how did Miss Jiang discover that there was a so-called collaboration letter hidden in my grandmother’s house?”
"Of course I saw it accidentally. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Yan Mingzhu showed an expression of sudden realization, then turned around and said to Cai Siqing: "Master Cai, I want to sue the Jiang family's daughter Jiang Yingying for lying to the government."
Even Cai Siqing was confused by Yan Mingzhu's operation, "What did you say, you want to sue Jiang Yingying? How did she deceive the government?"
"Jiang Yingying said that she accidentally saw her grandmother receiving a letter, so she went to check it secretly. But in fact, her grandfather led troops to fight abroad all year round and wrote letters home almost every month.
Among so many family letters, how did Jiang Yingying conclude that only this one was problematic, and went to check it secretly? This can only mean that she knew the content of this letter from the beginning, or in other words, this letter
She personally hid this letter under her grandmother’s pillow to frame the Yuan family!”
Jiang Yingying suddenly broke into a cold sweat, feeling as if she was caught red-handed by Yan Mingzhu when she was doing something bad.
"You're talking nonsense! I... That's because I found that my grandmother's expression was not right when she saw the letter, so I had doubts in my heart. In addition, not long after, the news of the defeat in the Battle of Yueshan came, so I
I’ll think about checking this letter!”
Without giving Jiang Yingying a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, Yan Mingzhu asked again: "The expression is strange? Why is it strange? I'm very curious. Can you show me the expression on my grandmother's face at that time?"
"I...why should I show it to you?"
Jiang Yingying's eyes averted and her tone was obviously weak, because she was just making up nonsense, so how could she react so quickly?
"Why don't I do it for you?"
As she spoke, Yan Mingzhu deliberately showed an extremely exaggerated expression of surprise, "Is this the expression?"
Jiang Yingying responded without thinking: "Yes, that's the expression..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yan Mingzhu with a cold voice: "That's nonsense! Sir, my grandmother is an old man in her late 70s after all. She has eaten rice with more salt than we have eaten.
Many times, when I read a letter,
Showing such an exaggerated expression of surprise? Is this because you are afraid that others will not know what shocking secret is written in this letter?"
After Cai Siqing thought about it, he felt that what Yan Mingzhu said was not unreasonable.
Only then did Jiang Yingying realize that she had been involved, and immediately said: "My lord, just now the civilian girl was nervous and misremembered, but does this have anything to do with this case? This Yan Mingzhu is obviously trying to confuse the public.
The letters of collaboration with the enemy were found from the house of the senator’s wife. This is irrefutable evidence. No matter how sophisticated the Yuan family is, they can’t change Marquis Yongyi’s charge of collaboration with the enemy. Please tell me clearly!”
"Yuanshi, do you have any explanation for this letter of collaboration with the enemy?"
Mrs. Yuan straightened her back and said loudly: "I have never received this letter. Someone wanted to frame the Yuan family and deliberately stuffed it into my room.
What's more, when the Marquis was still alive, he would never reveal any military information in his letters at home. This is a military rule, and the Marquis would never make such a low-level mistake."
"Since you keep saying that Marquis Yongyi would not write such a letter, but your granddaughter-in-law has identified it, the handwriting and the private seal on this letter belong to Marquis Yongyi, how do you explain it?"
Yan Mingzhu said: "I wonder if your Excellency could let us take a look at this so-called collaboration letter?"
Cai Siqing raised his hand and asked the yamen servant to take it to the elder's wife and Yan Mingzhu.
After reading it, Yan Mingzhu said, "Sir, the handwriting on this letter is indeed my grandfather's, and this private seal is indeed my grandfather's private seal."
"Bold Yuan clan, now that the evidence is conclusive, you still dare to cry out for injustice. Come here, arrest everyone in the Yuan family, young and old..."
Before Cai Siqing finished speaking, Yan Mingzhu added: "But this letter is fake."
"Didn't you just say that the handwriting and private seal are undoubtedly those of Marquis Yongyi? Why are you now saying that this letter is fake? Are you treating me like a monkey?"
Yan Mingzhu said calmly: "Please bring me a basin of water, and I will be able to prove to you that everything I said is true."
Although she didn't know what Yan Mingzhu was going to do, Cai Siqing still gave her this opportunity.
Soon, a basin of water was brought up.
Yan Mingzhu threw the whole new paper into the water without saying a word.
Everyone in the hall was shocked, but Jiang Yingying stood up immediately, "Sir, she is going to destroy the evidence!"
Cai Siqing was also shocked and said angrily: "Come here, take down this bold woman!"
Just when the government officials surrounded Yan Mingzhu and wanted to take action, Yan Mingzhu made a gesture, "Sir, please take a look."
Cai Siqing stretched his neck and took a look, and saw that the paper floating in the water was disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye. The whole piece of paper turned into countless squares.
"Sir, this piece of paper is made up of countless words, and these words must have been cut from the words written by my grandfather before, and then pieced together into such a so-called collaboration letter.
Obviously, the person behind the letter was very smart. After learning that only a letter stamped with his grandfather's private seal could prove that the letter was authentic, he came up with this idea and tried to accuse the Yuan family of collaborating with the enemy.
,
Such intentions are really sinister, please investigate thoroughly and restore the Yuan family's innocence!"
Yan Mingzhu knelt down with his hands in hand and expressed his emotions, turning the situation around in an instant.
Cai Siqing has handled cases for so many years, but this was the first time he encountered such a case, and he realized that this case was not simple.
Using such a complicated technique to create such a so-called collaboration letter, it seems that the person behind the scenes is deliberately trying to kill the Yuan family!
"Bold Jiang Yingying, you actually used a fake letter to deceive me and tell me who instigated you to do this!"
Jiang Yingying could not have expected that the situation would develop like this. She was already feeling guilty. When she heard Cai Siqing's angry shout, she was so frightened that her legs weakened and she knelt on the ground with a plop.
"My lord, you are wronged. I...I don't know what is going on..."
At this moment, Jiang Yingying was so devastated that her intestines were turning blue. If she had known it would be like this, she would never have agreed to that person to take over this matter!
Yan Mingzhu answered lightly: "Sir, it seems that this Jiang Yingying will not die until she reaches the Yellow River. I heard that anyone who enters the interrogation room of Dali Temple cannot come out without peeling off her skin. Since she is so stubborn, why not take her with you?"
Go to the interrogation room and let the government officials greet you politely?"
