Chapter 40: My sister-in-law killed the man. She killed her own son!
Li Jiaxu, who was breathing easier, took a few big breaths and then slowly said:
"My wife's sister killed him."
rustle!
A gentle breeze blew through the lush garden in front of the main hall.
Blowing the branches and leaves of flowers, plants and trees.
It shook the minds of Ye Qing and Wang Liu.
Ye Qing froze, and Wang Liu turned back in disbelief to look at Li Jiaxu, who was in great grief.
Li Jiaxu, who was shaking all over, howled in pain:
"It was my sister-in-law who killed her biological son!!!"
"Uuuuuuuuuah, it's my sister-in-law, kill her own flesh and blood!!!"
A bolt from the blue exploded in the minds of Ye Qing and Wang Liu.
Both of them looked dumbfounded, dazed and frozen in place.
Hysterically crying, Ye Qing couldn't help but let go of this 'poor man's' throat.
My sister-in-law is Li Jiaxu’s sister-in-law.
But she is also the biological mother of his eldest son Li Zhuoran?
So Li Zhuoran was born to Li Jiaxu and his sister-in-law?
Or is Li Jiaxu unable to give birth and adopt Li Zhuoran to raise on his own?
Ye Qing, who instantly had several conjectures in his mind, stood messy in the wind with an extremely strange expression.
However, tiger poison does not eat seeds.
The biological mother killed her biological son. How much hatred must this have caused!
Wang Liu, who heard the Arabian Nights story, couldn't help but ask: "This, this, how is this possible?!"
Li Jiaxu wiped his tears violently and said like a madman:
"How is it impossible? That little beast didn't know that his wife and sister were his biological mother, so he had evil thoughts and did evil things."
"My wife and sister thought that he was her own flesh and blood, so she swallowed her anger for several months. In the end, the beast became so mad that he asked others to join him in committing evil acts!"
"Tell me, should he be killed?"
Wang Liu, who was frightened by his appearance, subconsciously took a step back, his lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice:
"It really deserves to be killed!"
After Ye Qing digested this huge amount of information, some things connected in his mind.
He said: "So, after Miss Li entered Mr. Li's room, she was stunned and never left. A maid disguised herself as Miss Li and returned to the west wing of the backyard."
"A quarter before Zishi, your sister-in-law committed an attack. At around Zishi, she saw Mr. Li completely die and then left. At the second quarter of Zishi, your maid Qiuxiang said she heard a scream, which alerted the whole family."
"The maid disguised as Miss Li was imprisoned by you."
"Am I right to say this?"
Desperate Han Qi, upon hearing Ye Qing's analysis, suddenly raised his head and stared at him.
Li Jiaxu, who was extremely grieved, turned around suddenly, stared into Ye Qing's deep eyes, wiped away the tears on his cheeks, and asked subconsciously:
"But Liu Weikang told you?"
Ye Qing shook his head and said calmly: "I deduced it myself."
Han Qi on the side saw Wang Liu looking at Ye Qing with a look of surprise and admiration. He sighed and took a step forward.
Ye Qing, who was already wary of leaving, immediately raised his hand and grabbed Li Jiaxu.
Han Qi quickly calmed down and said bitterly:
"Master, we are in trouble. This young man, Qing, is an expert in solving cases."
Li Jiaxu, who had already named the murderer, looked at Ye Qing with complicated eyes and said:
"No wonder the prefect asked a young man like you to investigate the case."
"The former prison chief, Liu Weikang, interrogated everyone in my house for a long time, and some servants even missed the mark, so I came to a similar conclusion."
"And you can deduce how the crime was committed just by reading the revised file and asking the maid who has confessed."
"The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is really to be feared!"
Facing the compliments from the two of them, Ye Qing looked calm. After scanning the two of them, he landed on Li Jiaxu and said straightforwardly:
"The main reason is that the confession you prepared for your maidservant is full of loopholes and cannot withstand scrutiny at all. It seems to be a hasty move."
"This confession should be what you, Mr. Li, thought. After your sister-in-law killed Mr. Li in anger, her hatred retreated, and the fear of murder appeared in panic. She went to find you and told you the whole story."
"You didn't even have time to discuss it with Butler Han, and the tone was decided."
Li Jiaxu glanced at Ye Qing again and sighed:
"Yes, I hid the story from Butler Han and asked him to report it to the official. When Butler Han found out about my arrangement and found the flaw and wanted to re-account for the servants, Liu Weikang had already interrogated most of the servants. I had to bribe Liu Weikang with money.
Let the trouble be settled."
then.
Li Jiaxu asked the question he wanted to know most.
"Qing Xiaolang, I have told you the truth."
"How will you report it? And how do you think the prefect will use his discretion?"
After he asked, he found that Ye Qing didn't speak. He frowned deeply and couldn't help but feel panicked.
Just when he was about to ask a question.
Ye Qing stared at Li Jiaxu and said, "No, Miss Li..."
"She, she is a concubine, and I am also obsessed with it, so I followed my sister-in-law's behavior and harmed her. I and I will bear the blame for this crime!"
Li Jiaxu, who quickly interrupted Ye Qing's words, bowed to Ye Qing pleadingly.
He even glanced at Wang Liu next to him.
Ye Qing, who was full of sympathy for Li Zhuoyi, sighed and held back what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, he guessed right again.
In this world where men are superior to women, Li Zhuoyi, a concubine, had her innocence tainted by her brother.
A girl whose innocence has been tainted and who has not yet left the court will inevitably suffer rumors and be bullied by her husband's family when she gets married.
Use her life in exchange for the life of Li Jiaxu's wife and sister.
It must be said that Li Jiaxu is a qualified businessman.
A businessman who does everything possible and is only interested in profit.
Wang Liu, who comes from a family of jailers, is very sophisticated and discerning.
He directly changed the topic and said: "Commissioner Li, we already know the truth. We will tell the prefect in private about the reason for the murder. If you come to do good deeds and help the poor people on weekdays, the prefect will definitely keep your Li Li.
The prestige of the government.”
"But now, please hand over the murderer and accompany us. Let's forget about it."
"What do you think?"
Earlier, Li Jiaxu thought that Wang Liu and the others were mainly members of the torture chamber.
But now, he looked at Ye Qing, a young man who just looked handsome and unassuming.
Ye Qing bowed respectfully towards Wang Liu, clasping his fists and saying: "Everything must be obeyed by the king's officials."
Hear the words.
Li Jiaxu looked deeply at Ye Qing, then looked at Han Qi who had a painful expression on his side, sighed helplessly, and said resignedly:
"Steward Han, everything is subject to the king's arrangements."
"Yes, sir!"
After Han Qi saluted, he started to leave.
"Don't forget to prepare twelve Nanyang Cabbage and divide them into two parts." Li Jiaxu added.
"Yes, sir!" Han Qi agreed again, looked at Ye Qing with admiring eyes, and left quickly.
Wang Liu, who was full of shame, said sheepishly: "Executive member Li, forget it, I really don't have the shame to take it."
His face became more haggard, but his eyes were bright. Li Jiaxu, who seemed to have lost his shackles, lowered his figure, bowed to Wang Liu and said kindly:
"Yes, I have done something wrong after all, and the king is willing to help me speak kindly to the prefect. I must express my gratitude for this kindness."
Rubbing his hands, Wang Liu was embarrassed and very excited, and looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing, who was dressed in gray and had an upright posture, nodded, and Wang Liu immediately agreed with a smile.
And Li Jiaxu turned to look at Ye Qing, without making an invitation gesture, and asked: "Qing Xiaolang, can you and I talk?"
