Unfortunately, what Bai Wanrou didn't know was that the people around her had already become angry because of her words.
What does it mean to help?
She might as well say it openly, hoping that he could give Heli more money.
Chen Ruzhi snorted coldly, feeling strangely uncomfortable in his heart, but he only attributed this feeling to his dissatisfaction with Bai Wanrou.
At that time, in Song Mansion, Song Yinhua hid the peasants in his boudoir.
She frowned and bit her lip, thinking about how to explain this person's appearance to her father.
The farmer was also sitting on pins and needles in her chair.
Although Song Yinhua didn't say it explicitly, he could tell from the furnishings in the room that this was probably her boudoir.
How could he sit here peacefully?
The farmer looked around, diverting his attention. Looking at Song Yinhua who was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
She shouldn't be thinking about how to get rid of herself, right?
However, facing Song Yinhua's gentle and pleasant appearance, the farmer felt that his idea was a bit too evil.
He thought for a while, and it was probably because she was not as neat and tidy as Bai Wanrou, so he thought about so many messy things.
At the same moment when he had this idea, Song Yinhua clasped his hands together and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see my father."
The farmer nodded and watched her lead the way in front of him.
"What's going on? Didn't I just ask you to find a few people? Why don't you have any clues yet?"
"Song...Song Si Cheng, we really don't know about this matter. When we rushed to his residence, no one was in sight."
Song Yinhua's feet were about to step into the threshold, but when she heard their conversation, she immediately stepped back.
If he guessed correctly, the reason for their dispute should be behind him at the moment.
She looked back and saw the farmers following suit, and she suddenly felt discouraged.
It's not that she is cowardly, no one would be able to lie calmly and comfortably in front of her father, who is just and unjust.
Song Yinhua pursed her lips. She felt that her task was somewhat important.
"Father."
The moment she turned around and entered the main hall, the noisy space suddenly became quiet.
Song Yuanlie looked at her face and the many people in the hall, and took a deep breath.
"Please step aside first and come back to me later if you need anything."
Song Yinhua expected that he would say this, and her legs that were a little weak immediately stood up straight.
"Father, I didn't come here today to bother you, but because there is someone I need to bring to you."
She looked behind her, and the farmer stepped into the hall at that moment.
Anyone who recognized who he was immediately opened their eyes and started whispering.
"This...isn't this the person Song Si Cheng wants us to find?"
Song Yuanlie stared straight at the farmer and looked at Song Yinhua in disbelief.
The person that so many of his men had not found was actually brought here by his own daughter.
Song Yinhua realized that he was suspected by his father, so he stood in the hall pretending to be calm and spoke out the manuscript he had prepared.
"Father, I have seen the portrait of this farmer. I met him in a teahouse a few days ago. I also knew that you were looking for him, so I discussed bringing him back."
The farmer behind him seemed to want to refute when he heard this. He knew that he was clearly handed over to her by a little girl.
But there were too many people standing in the main hall, and he was speechless for a moment, so he did not say this.
But Song Yuanlie's eyes turned to Song Yinhua because of these words.
He stroked his wrist, already seeing that she was lying.
But now it was more important to deal with the farmer's whereabouts, so he simply ignored Song Yinhua and only waved to the farmer.
"Song, Song Si Cheng?"
He had heard Song Yinhua say in the teahouse that her father was Song Si Cheng, and he had already had the idea in his mind to come and meet her.
Unexpectedly, in just one day, I would actually see him.
Perhaps Song Si Cheng had already symbolized in the eyes of the farmers that his lost daughter could get justice. At this time, tears filled his eyes.
Song Yuanlie asked a folk painter to draw portraits of farmers, and he knew he was that person the first time he saw him.
"I am Song Yuanlie, the Prime Minister of Song Temple. Come in quickly and sit down first."
Song Yuanlie couldn't hide his joy because finally some clues were revealed about a difficult case.
No matter what method Song Yinhua used to find the farmer, it would be good as long as he has people here now.
Seeing this, Song Yinhua knew that her father was not going to question her anymore, so she turned around and went back to her boudoir.
Who could know how frightened she was when she lied in front of her father just now.
Now, the first thing I did after returning to my room was to take a big sip of water on the table to calm my nervous heartbeat.
Song Yinhua let out a breath, thinking that the farmer had helped her escape the disaster, and she couldn't help but feel a little happy.
In the hall, Song Yuanlie sent away a group of people, leaving only a few people to join him in questioning the farmers.
"So your daughter's lover was the only one present at that time?"
He made his preliminary judgment based on the farmers' narratives, but there were still many thorny issues in this case.
Let's not talk about whether what the lover said is true. The most important thing now is that they don't have any evidence.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to issue a wanted warrant, let alone convict someone.
Song Yuanlie directly asked one of his subordinates to record the next information provided by the farmer.
And he himself took one of them to the bookstore.
"How do you think this case should be solved now?"
"No matter what, the most important thing is to find the lover first. After all, he is still involved no matter what."
Song Yuanlie nodded. This man was his book boy who had followed him since he was a child. Later he took the position of Temple Prime Minister and helped him solve many cases.
Now I brought him to the bookstore alone just to see how different his ideas were from my own.
"By the way, Song Sicheng... should we check Yin'er?"
"Huh? Yin'er? What happened to her?"
Song Yi hesitated for a while, but continued: "Yin'er brought someone here from nowhere today. If we check, we may find something new."
When Song Yuanlie heard this, he knew that he had also seen that Song Yinhua was lying, so he took this trick.
But now solving the case is a top priority. Yin'er is still his daughter after all, and he knows that she won't do anything too outrageous.
So Song Yuanlie shook his head, "No need, let's end Yin'er's matter here. I will ask her if necessary."
Although Song Yi wanted to continue saying something, he finally gave up because of his character.
At this time, there was a loud noise outside the door, as if someone was surrendering.
Song Yuanlie immediately stood up and walked out in a hurry, Song Yi followed closely behind him.
"What did you say? You want to surrender?"
"Yes, I killed that little girl. I have evidence."
This was what Song Yuanlie heard when he rushed to the main hall.
I don't know where this man came from, but he looks a bit unruly. There is no doubt that he committed a murder.
Song Yuanlie walked to his seat in a few steps, his expression serious.
"You said you killed someone, then describe to us the reason and process."
The man paused, as if he was organizing his words, and seemed to be thinking about something.
And what he said next was so fluent that people couldn't believe it.
"I happened to bump into that girl when I was wandering around that day. Because I drank some wine and couldn't tell the difference, and I also fell in love with her beauty, I decided to deceive her."
"She reacted very strongly at that time. She broke away from me and ran back to her backyard. I was a little impatient and killed the person with a hoe on the ground in anger."
He doesn't look like one of those people who really realizes his mistakes and comes to repent. Instead, he looks like a scholar who memorized the article after getting it.
Not to mention Song Yuanlie, who has enforced the law impartially for many years, even the inexperienced servants next to him can tell that there is definitely something wrong with this person.
Outside the main hall, Song Yinhua, who had rushed over after hearing the news, stood there.
Although she has always been a slow-responsive person, today she judged that this person was a scapegoat in just a moment.
Thinking that his appearance might destroy the truth, Song Yinhua became a little impatient at that time. She looked at the people gathered in the main hall and ran out while they were not paying attention.
The only thing she can do now is to tell Bai Wanrou the news.
Song Yuanlie's eyebrows jumped at this moment, and he suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "Then what is your relationship with the prince?"
The man was already prepared for this question. His expression didn't even change at all, and he answered calmly:
"I don't have any personal relationship with the prince. I just went to the prince's house to see someone because I had something to ask for, so I was misunderstood as being the prince's servant."
Song Yi, who was standing aside, snorted coldly when he heard this. This person's disguise was so false that no one could see it.
But the most important thing is that if they can't find any other evidence and he can indeed provide information, they can only convict him of this matter.
Thinking of this, Song Yi felt a little scared. It seemed that this person must have been ordered by the prince to testify. He looked at Song Yuanlie.
At that time, Song Yuanlie was thinking deeply. The appearance of this person was not just the work of the prince alone.
I think that being able to surrender here without any hindrance would probably be with the Emperor's acquiescence.
In this case, he would be forced to sentence this man.
Just when he was thinking about how to deal with it, Song Yinhua ran outside the palace.
She was breathing heavily and happened to run into Lin Yi who was on business outside the house.
She stopped the person directly and said, "Please call the princess for me and tell her that I have something important to see her."
Lin Yi looked at the strange woman in front of him, and immediately felt a little wary in his heart.
In addition, the prince's attitude towards the princess has been unusual recently, so he has to be more cautious.
"If you have anything to do with our princess, I can convey it on your behalf."
Song Yinhua took a few deep breaths and then calmed down.
She had never come to the palace to find someone before, but this was the first time she couldn't get in.
She glanced at Lin Yi a few more times, thinking that this matter was really urgent, so she had to talk to him again.
"Princess, someone outside the palace asked to see you, saying that the man who killed the peasant girl has surrendered." This chapter has been completed!
