Completely different from Zhou De and the others, Liang Yi was calm and indifferent and said slowly:
"Master Zhou, don't be anxious. If no evidence is found today, Liang must apologize."
Zhou De watched as his mansion was turned upside down by Liang Yi who suddenly broke in. Now his daughter was involved in the murder of a court official. Under such circumstances, his Zhou mansion was a scholarly family.
How could one be so humiliated after receiving orders from the emperor?
"Shilang Liang, if you can't find out anything today, just because you lead someone to break into an official's mansion, I will definitely have to testify when I go to court tomorrow!"
"That's the best." Liang Yi's eyes were cold and his words left no room for himself. "I'm afraid that Liang accidentally found some evidence of crime. Mr. Liang, you should know the crime of murdering the imperial official, right?"
Liang Yi has a special responsibility. If he is clever with his words and gets everyone he wants, just because of his responsibilities, there will naturally be many people who want to please him. In this case, how can the person in the palace feel at ease?
Conspiracies against court officials range from beheadings to confiscation of homes, to harming nine clans at worst. Zhou De is not unaware of these.
Seeing Liang Yi's confident look, Zhou De couldn't help but feel a little panicked and tentatively asked Zhou Jiu'er beside him.
"What trouble did you get into again?"
Zhou Jiuer had just suffered the pain of amputating his finger. Now seeing the scene in the house, he was already so frightened that he forgot the reason for Liang Yi's search and replied with a trembling voice:
"It was Jiu'er who made a mistake on the street today and angered the fifth princess...but Jiu'er has already received the punishment he deserves."
At this time, blood was still oozing slightly from the base of her finger, and the pain of the broken finger was even more painful. Her left hand could not stop shaking. She never expected that today's actions would pay such a painful price.
Fifth princess?
Liang Yi listened with his hands folded, but it was Yun An who broke her finger? This seemed like something Yun An could do.
Liang Yi shook his head, Miss Zhou didn't want to offend anyone this time, but she wanted to offend the fifth princess.
It's your own fault.
"What? Did you anger the fifth princess?" Zhou De was even more shocked after hearing his daughter's erroneous answer.
After Zhou Jiuer returned home today, no matter how Zhou De and Zhou Ziyu asked, she could not speak. Seeing that she was seriously injured, they did not dare to provoke her any more.
Unexpectedly, she actually angered the fifth princess.
"What exactly did you do?"
How big of a mistake did Zhou Jiuer make to make the fifth princess so angry that she broke her finger?
Who doesn't know that the fifth princess, Xiao Ling, is the most beloved by the Holy Emperor, and that Zhou Jiu'er has made the fifth princess so angry, which will definitely affect the entire Zhou family.
"Shilang Liang, we found this."
Liang Yi turned his head and looked at what the guard handed over with both hands, his eyes darkened.
"Where did you find it?"
"Under Miss Zhou's pillow."
Liang Yi took the wordless waistband, looked at it carefully, and sneered: "Miss Zhou, please explain."
"No, this is not mine." Zhou Jiuer looked at the wooden sign in Liang Yi's hand and quickly denied it.
Zhou Jiuer looked at his father and brother and explained in a panic: "Dad, brother, this really isn't mine. I have never seen this thing before."
Seeing that his sister's face was pale, Zhou Zizhen cried in panic and stepped forward and said to Liang Yi:
"Shilang Liang, although my sister has a bit of a naughty temper, she will never do such a disrespectful thing."
"The crime of murdering the imperial court is a serious crime. You must not frame a good person."
Liang Yi glanced at Zhou Ziyu, and then slowly fell on the wordless waistband.
"Now that the evidence has been found, whether Ms. Zhou is innocent or not will be known after Liang is escorted back to the Criminal Department for interrogation."
When Zhou Jiuer heard that Liang Yi was going to take her to prison, she hid back in fear, shaking her head in panic.
"No...I won't go to the prison...No...I won't go..."
Zhou Jiu'er is a young lady from the Zhou family. If she goes to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, how will she behave in the future?
"Shilang Liang!" Zhou Ziyu refused to give in, "I'm afraid it is against the law to rashly put my sister in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment before the matter has been investigated."
"Master Ziyu, if we talk about the laws of the Ministry of Punishments, I am afraid that Liang is the one who knows better."
Liang Yi said calmly:
"What's more, Mr. Liang is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He has worked hard as an official all his life. Now he has suffered such a disaster. The Holy One has specially sent Liang to investigate the matter. The destiny is the law."
"you……"
Liang Yi actually moved out of the emperor's family, so Zhou Ziyu naturally couldn't say anything more.
Suddenly there was the sound of fighting in the backyard, only a few times, and then the sound stopped.
Everyone looked around in confusion and saw several guards dragging one person out.
"What's going on?" Liang Yi stepped forward to check, and the man had just died.
"Servant, this man was hiding in the kitchen. When we found him, we started fighting him. We just subdued him, but we didn't know he actually drank poison and committed suicide."
Liang Yi made a general inspection of the body and found that he had indeed died of poisoning.
Liang Yi found a waist tag on the body, and the Zhou family was shocked.
"Master Zhou, Master Ziyu, are there still injustices now?" Liang Yi picked up the wordless waistband found on the corpse and showed it to the two of them for a clear look.
Zhou Jiuer looked at her father's increasingly questioning eyes and cried, "Dad, it's not me...it's really not me...I don't know anything..."
"Pa!" slapped Zhou Jiu'er's face, and Zhou De stomped his feet angrily:
"How do I teach you on weekdays? You actually do such a thing! It is an insult to the family tradition of my Zhou family!"
"It's not me... I don't know..." Zhou Jiu'er was stunned by the slap, covering her face with tears streaming down her face.
Zhou De and Zhou Ziyu didn't say any more. Liang Yi might not be clear about it, but they knew it very well.
The corpse on the ground is named Wang San. Zhou Jiuer bought it from the market in the west of the city. He has always been with her. Today, he also left the house with Zhou Jiuer. However, after returning, Zhou Jiuer locked him up.
In the backyard, they didn't think much about it at the time.
Now that the evidence is conclusive, Liang Yi keeps his wordless badge.
"Master Zhou, I'm sorry."
"Seal the Zhou Mansion!"
"Zhou Jiuer is escorted back to the Criminal Department!"
Prince Yugong's Mansion, inside Yusheng Courtyard.
Qingluo made a soup for Ye Sili.
"Qingluo, add more fire." Ye Sili held the medicine bowl in both hands, trying to keep it warm.
"Yes." Qingluo went to pack some charcoal.
"Princess, Princess." Late spring hurriedly ran into the yard, and saw Ye Sili still warming herself by the fire in the yard, she was even more anxious.
Ye Sili had long been accustomed to late spring's blaring temper and asked:
"What happened again?"
"There are two things, one good and one bad, which one do you listen to first?" Munchun pretended.
"It's a good thing." Ye Sili said casually. Feeling the temperature of the medicine bowl gradually dissipating, he pinched his nose and frowned and drank the medicine in one gulp.
Qingluo immediately handed over the sweets that Gu Liyou had specially ordered to prepare.
"The good thing is that Mr. Liang found the wordless waistband, which is related to Miss Zhou Jiuer."
Ye Sili ate a plum and squinted her eyes with soreness, and asked curiously: "How did Mr. Liang deal with it?"
"Yesterday, Shilang Liang sent people to seal off the Zhou Mansion and took Miss Zhou to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Today, Shilang Liang went to the palace with evidence and has not returned yet."
"But I heard that although Miss Zhou refused to admit the crime, last night Shilang Liang was checking the guard named..." Mu Chun suddenly forgot the name of the person, "Oh yes, the guard named Wang San."
"Shilang Liang found a confession from Wang San's clothes."
"It was clearly written before me that out of jealousy and hatred, Miss Zhou first sent people to threaten Miss Liang. Later, when the Liang family couldn't do anything, she targeted Mr. Liang who was out."
Ye Sili heard this and was a little confused, "Zhou Jiu'er can't stand Liang Caicai. Why did he try to harm Mr. Liang?"
"...Perhaps she did something stupid out of anger. Didn't she almost hurt the fifth princess yesterday in public?"
"No matter what, now that the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, the Zhou Mansion is going to be in disaster this time." Munchun sighed.
The unmarked waistband was found in Zhou Jiuer's room in public, and Wang San's existence and origins were known to everyone in the Zhou family. In addition, with Wang San's confession, the Zhou family was indeed doomed this time.
"Then what's the bad news?" Ye Sili asked. With so many things happening recently, what could be more exciting than the murder of Mr. Liang?
"Miss Liang hanged herself..."
"What?!" Ye Sili stood up abruptly.
Wuchun immediately advised: "Calm down, Princess, don't get excited, it's not possible to die."
"What do you mean...not dead?" Ye Sili was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat.
"It means that Miss Liang woke up early this morning and was irritated by the white cloth all over the house. She immediately found Bai Ling and hanged herself in the house. Fortunately, the maid found her in time and rescued her."
Liang Caicai has always been arrogant, but now that a sudden change has occurred in her family and she is left alone, it is hard to accept it.
Ye Sili said angrily: "Luchun, can't you tell the difference between the two matters? Why are you talking about it now?"
After that, he left the yard.
"..." Mie Chun was puzzled. Zhou Jiu'er was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Zhou family was in danger. Isn't this important?
Besides, hasn’t the princess always been at odds with Miss Liang? When did their relationship become so good?
When Wuchun came to his senses, Ye Sili had already walked some distance away, and Wuchun quickly followed.
Huan Xia was waiting for Xiao Ling to wash up. As soon as Xiao Ling walked out of the house, he saw Ye Sili and Mu Chun walking out one after another. He hurriedly asked Yun An who was guarding the door:
"Yun'an, where are you going, Si Li?"
"Liang Mansion."
Xiao Ling looked eagerly at the direction Ye Sili was leaving. Naturally, she wanted to follow him out, but Yun An had been guarding the door early in the morning and would always use the excuse of protecting her in the name of his father to prevent her from going out.
Being locked up in the yard is so boring.
Xiao Ling looked at Yuan Mu and suddenly had an idea and laughed "hehe".
"Yun'an, I'm hungry. I want to eat dumplings."
"I'll let the cook do it now."
"The chef here doesn't understand my taste, I don't like it."
"Then go down and bring one of the royal chefs."
"That would be too much trouble."
"Princess, is there anything you can do?"
Taken the bait.
Xiao Ling took a step forward, her eyebrows curved.
