Chapter 42 We have no other ability but to be obedient and listen to advice
Ye Qing glanced at Wang Liu who was scratching his head and ears out of curiosity, smiled slightly, and was about to speak.
Han Qi, who had some skills and a strong ear, also came over, clasped his fists and bowed, as if asking for advice.
Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, Li Jiaxu has also released his goodwill.
Ye Qing, who seemed to have no reservations, explained: "We came here this time to alert the enemy. I went to ask the maids for their confessions, and their statements were the same as before."
"What is needed to investigate the case is witness and physical evidence. The physical evidence must have been disposed of, and then only the witness will be left."
Wang Liu nodded in approval.
And Han Qi immediately thought of what Ye Qing had asked before leaving in the yard where the maid was staying, if there were any other maids.
The warm spring breeze blew Ye Qing's tied hair and fell on Ye Qing's cheek, making him feel a slight itchiness.
He pushed his hair back from his face, glanced sideways at Han Qi who was thoughtful, and continued to explain:
"Li's Mansion is too big. If you are not familiar with Li's Mansion, you will get lost if you go for a walk in Li's Mansion."
"If we can't find out the truth today, the witness's evidence will definitely be wiped out."
To a wealthy family, the lives of their servants are like livestock to be slaughtered at will.
These people were basically slaves. Even if they were killed, the government could not hold them accountable.
Han Qi, with a look of shame on his face, sighed: "Qing Xiaolang is right. If I hadn't been kind-hearted, I would have dealt with those two maids long ago."
"If you show up today, even if the master doesn't want to, I will definitely bury these two maids in the soil and nourish the flowers and plants!"
Treating human life as nothing but trivial matter seemed perfectly normal to the three of them.
Ye Qing, who has been in this world for more than ten years, has long been indifferent.
As long as Amei and Zhang Weng and Po Zhang are not involved, those people can die casually.
Be careful, never be holy, and act decisively. He always keeps these twelve words in mind.
Otherwise, he would have been eaten by the refugees with his infant sister in his arms, and he would not be alive now.
Wang Liu, who couldn't help but talk a lot, asked puzzledly: "Isn't it okay to send him out of the city and find a village to settle him?"
"When people are alive, there is a possibility of leaking secrets. Only the dead can keep secrets." Ye Qing said this while looking at Wang Liu in surprise.
Han Qi nodded in approval and agreed: "Yes, after all, it concerns the master and the reputation of the Li family. If the master is unwilling to kill him, it is not safe to send him out of the city. The most secure thing is to be locked up in the house."
Wang Liu, who remembered what Ye Qing said, said frankly:
"Qing Xiaolang, don't look at me like this. Although we come from a family of jailers, we still have a bottom line. It's okay to use money to do things, but not to contaminate human lives. This is a rule passed down from my ancestors."
Hearing this, Ye Qing said with admiration: "No wonder Brother Wang, your family has been jailed for generations. You have kept this rule and you will hardly make a big mistake under any circumstances. This position will naturally be passed down safely."
"Not bad!" Wang Liu raised his head proudly and boasted: "We have no other ability. I just want to be obedient and listen to advice. We must abide by the rules of our ancestors and listen to your advice, Qingxiao Lang."
Han Qi, who was on the side, looked at the black clothes of a torture chamber official on Wang Liu in surprise. After thinking about the two men's words, he suddenly understood, and then looked at Ye Qing with admiration.
Then, he continued: "Qing Xiaolang, please continue."
Ye Qing's words were so obvious, but Han Qi hadn't figured it out yet.
I couldn't help but sigh that it was easier to talk to smart people like Zhang Xiuran and Chen Yuming.
The gentle and handsome face was speechless for a moment.
Butler Han seems to be smart, but unfortunately he is still not that smart.
For the sake of the cabbage in his arms, Ye Qing had no choice but to continue:
"So, if we leave the house and the last witness is gone, even if the confession in this file is full of loopholes, when the case goes to court for trial, the maid will repeat the careful confession arranged by Butler Han."
"Then this case will become a solid case. Miss Li Zhuoyi can only die unjustly and go down to complain to the Lord of Hell."
"To solve the case, I had no choice but to take risks. While all the servants in the house were locked up and no one was there to protect Mr. Li, I restrained him and used coercion and inducement to guide him to tell the truth."
"If not, then Mr. Li is still in my hands. Brother Wang, you can also run and inform the prefect and lead the third team to search Li's house and find witnesses."
Han Qi, who suddenly understood, admired the handsome and gentle young man in front of him even more.
Wang Liu also gave a thumbs up and praised: "Qingxiao Lang, I really have you, this is the first time I have seen someone solve a case like this."
"Be brave and careful, and act decisively. From now on, when you come to the government office, you have to tell the prefect to come to the execution room, and I will rely on you to protect you."
Ye Qing clasped his fists humbly and said: "Brother Wang, what you are saying is embarrassing me. Not to mention whether I will enter the government office or the torture chamber from now on, you are an old man, so you have to take care of me."
"Look after each other, look after each other!"
His neither arrogant nor impetuous character made Wang Liu feel warm in his heart, and he smiled and clasped his fists in return.
After finishing the case.
Ye Qing suddenly noticed that the pedestrians around him were looking at him with curious and strange eyes.
As soon as he saw where the three of them were standing, Ye Qing understood immediately and calmly retreated behind them.
However, after just walking a few steps, the two people who admired Ye Qing very much could not walk in front of Ye Qing and fall behind him without leaving any trace.
This move left Ye Qing speechless and he could only point out:
"Brother Wang, you are the executioner, Butler Han, and you are the steward of Mr. Li's house. You two are standing behind the boy. What's going on?"
"Look at the looks in the eyes of passers-by. I really can't bear it."
People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong!
It's just that Ye Qing, who has a low status, is still able to survive, just survive.
Secretly, there was Dan Dan, the son of Yangzhou Governor and one of the four most talented people in Huaiyang, who was always keeping an eye on him.
There is no way to relax.
Wang Liu, who had already obeyed Ye Qingyan's advice, immediately walked in front of Ye Qing.
Han Qi also smiled kindly and retreated to Li Jiaxu who was hugging his wife and sister behind him.
Seeing that Ye Qing was not paying attention, Han Qi quickly whispered to Li Jiaxu.
Li Jiaxu, who had not asked Ye Qing's details in the mansion just now, looked shocked and whispered in disbelief:
"really?"
"Seriously! Master, this Ye Qing is really not simple!"
Han Qi sighed with great emotion.
Li Jiaxu, whose eyes flashed, pursed his lips tightly and thought as he walked.
Finally, he glanced at his sister-in-law Qu Ying beside him, gritted his teeth and made a major decision.
He immediately whispered to Han Qi and finished explaining.
He said quickly: "We must get this done."
Han Qi solemnly clasped his fists and bowed: "Don't worry, sir, this matter concerns the Li Mansion, and nothing will go wrong."
Then, Han Qi quickly came to Wang Liu's side, pretending to be troubled and said:
"This place is still quite far away from the government office. The master has been too sad during this period and his body cannot support it."
"Prince, Qing Xiaolang, can you let me hire a carriage?"
Wang Liu turned around and looked at Li Jiaxu, who had a haggard look in his eyes. He patted his head and said apologetically: "Sorry, sorry, I just thought that walking in Huaiyang City would be faster than a carriage, and I was in a hurry to go to the government office. I forgot to take care of Mr. Li's health."
"Steward Han, please go, let's find a tea stall to rest."
"Thank you, Wang Li."
Han Qi cupped his fists and bowed gratefully, then ran away.
At the same time, a figure that had been hanging behind Ye Qing and his group also quietly left.
Ye Qing looked at the direction Han Qi was leaving, then looked at Li Jiaxu behind him who seemed to be relieved, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
He quickly came to Li Jiaxu's side, stared into the eyes that avoided him, and asked:
