Yan Bing was dizzy by this series of changes, and felt that she didn't have the talent to solve the case, so she simply told Ah Yi and Wen Yuan bluntly that the person she suspected was her eldest brother Shu Xingsheng.

"On the day Ah Weng went, he was the first to leave the inner room, saying that he was sending Yanqing home, and there was time to commit the crime," after putting forward the most straightforward reason, she told what she saw and heard five years ago, "I saw him and Ah Niang holding hands and laughing at the post station, they had some unusual friendship in private, and finally I seemed to alarm him, is it possible that this time it was also to kill the mouth?" ”

The two looked at each other in surprise, and then felt that the two of them had a private ~ relationship that seemed to be a natural fit - a young woman who was alone at home and a stepchild who was in the prime of life without a wife was a perfect match.

"No wonder he keeps saying that he doesn't have a title on the gold list and doesn't marry a wife, and he has to pay a fine over the age of age." Ah Yi complained in a low voice and shook his head again: "But, wait five years for the silence?" That's too patient. I'm jealous that I'm talented and a little reluctant, and my competitor is Si Yan. Brother is much older, and Grandpa is getting old again, but he doesn't have to take risks to inherit the family business. ”

Wen Yuan had a completely different opinion after hearing this, he looked at Yan Bing with a slight smile, and praised with a serious face: "This matter you said is very important. I have read thousands of files, but all serious cases involving human life, ten cases and nine rape, either rape ~ theft or rape ~ love. Although it was five years ago, the roundabout method of poisoning is not like that of him, but it is difficult to protect the neighbor's axe, and the more you look at it, the more you are afraid that the ugly thing will be exposed. ”

More importantly, he clearly remembered that on the day of the birthday banquet or before, Shu Xingsheng always let her sit on his right arm when he hugged Yanqing, but when he stopped at 37, he used his left arm as support.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, just as Wen Yuan was pondering about Shu Xingyi's arm, he saw him passing by the study window, his face was gloomy and dark, and he no longer looked like a gentleman in the past.

"Stay far away, don't come closer. I'm going to give it a try. Wen Yuan said that, he took a copy of "Shangshu" from the table at random, pushed the door out and hurriedly ran towards Shu Xingsheng.

Yan Bing and Ah Yi were behind them, stopped under a big banyan tree, looked at Wen Yuanzheng from afar and stopped the eldest brother, and asked aloud with the "Book of Shang": "A certain party just turned the book There is something unclear, ask 'Keming Junde, to pro-nine clans.'" The nine tribes are harmonious, and the people are peaceful. What should I do? ”

"What's so hard about that?" Xingsheng bent his lips slightly, as if sarcastic and self-deprecating, and replied lightly, "Isn't it just about how Di Yao carried forward the great virtue to make his relatives harmonious, and then clearly observed and commended the good deeds of the people?" ”

Hearing this, Yan Bing also wanted to laugh a little, firstly, the content of the sentence was somewhat in line with the current situation, and secondly, she seemed to read the subtext from Wen Yuan's straight and calm smile: "Of course it's not difficult, it's just a casual sentence." Then he waited to see what he did next.

"What the foolish brother is puzzled about is that Di Yao's era should be based on the 'patriarchal system', but the situation is very different now, so is the 'pro-nine clan' really so important?" Wen Yuan had an idea and began to quibble, but Xingsheng was a dead reader, and when he asked this, he really began to think about it, and then he was a little confused.

After a little discussion, Wen Yuan turned a few more pages, pointed to a text and shouted, "Look here again!" ”

He raised his arm a little farther away at this time, and Yan Bing saw that the eldest brother who was not looking well squinted slightly, as if he felt that the handwriting was a little blurry and could not see clearly, so he subconsciously raised his arm to get the book.

She immediately understood Wen Yuan's plan, and cautiously raised her throat - this is to peek at Xingsheng's arm! As a grandchild, everyone is filial piety, wearing a thick linen dress with stiff sleeves and slightly shorter sleeves, this hand stretches out the treacherous eldest brother of the Rong family and "accidentally" helps him pick it up......

"The emperor said: If you are in charge? What about this-" Before Xingsheng's words fell, he saw the heroic young man in front of him clasp his wrist and look at him with a sharp and implicit scrutinizing gaze.

"Did you kill the cook? Did you order the poison? After confirming that he had a scar on his arm that looked like a scratch and had not healed, Wen Yuan asked bluntly.

Hearing this, Xingsheng froze on the spot, with a look of hesitation and struggle in his eyes, as if he had a thousand words to confide, but in the end he simply replied with one word: "Yes." ”

……

When the Chang'an County Commander received the message from the Chang Sui in the back house, he almost wanted to die.

Seeing that he was about to evaluate his tenure of office, he suddenly encountered the son of the Earl's Mansion, and was ordered by his boss to solve the case in five days, and the case was solved in less than 30 days.

He made a mistake, not only was he wrong and could not be corrected, but he was also blocked by the people at the entrance of the yamen and asked to see a public trial - because the last round was an unjust, false and wrongful case that was tortured into a confession; Because everyone is very curious about this twist and turn case, guarding the right to judge the case is regarded as watching a lively show.

Yan Bing and Ah Yi were also escorted by the steward and others to see the verdict after passing through the Li family, and the crowd of onlookers who looked at this crowd was also shocked, and what they didn't expect was that the trial process was also quite ...... Wonderful.

Shu Xingsheng confessed to harming~ the dead cook and ordering her to sprinkle almond powder, but refused to admit that he deliberately plotted ~ to kill his grandfather, but argued in court: "I just want to teach my half-brother a lesson who is disrespectful to me." He was so gifted and intelligent that he never took my brother seriously, so he wanted to borrow a little almond flour to make him sick, and his grandfather's death was really an accident. I wanted to discuss with my slave Gu to surrender myself, but I was caught on the way to stop her from escaping, and she unfortunately fell into the water and died......"

"Huh?! He, he actually said you, Ah Yi! Doesn't this reverse black and white? It must be nonsense to take the cook to turn herself in, what is he trying to do? Yan Bing was dumbfounded when she heard this, but the last sentence gently pulled the sleeve of Brother Wen Yuan's Su brocade beside her, and he was a Baidu jack-of-all-trades.

It means to look at each step of the way separately and mitigate the crime one by one. The drugging was to educate his younger brother, not to deliberately plot ~ to kill people, because Ah Yi was not injured, so he was not guilty. The death of the cook, according to the law, the slave and maid who committed the crime without reporting the official suicide only need a hundred, and the mistake ~ killing can also be atonement with copper. In the end, the death of his grandfather is indistinguishable, flowing for three thousand miles, but he can be pardoned in case of pardon, although he has been established but has not established a prince, there will always be a time when the world will be amnesty. Wen Yuan calmly answered Yan Bing's questions.

Looking down at her still blindfolded, with an ignorant look, Wen Yuan deliberately added: "It should be beheaded or hanged, he is excusing himself." What do you think about this? ”

"What do I think? It's natural to kill people to pay for their lives, although he is my brother, Ah Weng is also his own grandfather, to be honest, we are closer to Ah Weng in comparison. And he also smeared Ah Yi! Yan Bing began to get angry as she spoke, chopping her feet and wrinkling her sleeves.

Because she had already seen that the confused county magistrate was stunned by the prosperous self-defense, and the plaintiff in the hall was the elder brother, and he was almost silent in consideration of brotherhood, and it seemed that the situation was really about to be commuted.

Wen Yuan lowered his head and looked at his Ah Bing's sister's puffy little face, but his fleshy powder~ lips couldn't help but smile, and whispered: "That's right, cutting grass doesn't remove roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows ......."

"What did you say?" Yan Bing didn't hear what he said and asked casually, but she didn't get an answer, only to see Wen Yuan whispering a few words to his scholar sideways, and then the boy turned his head and disappeared into the sea of people.

Not long after, several loud mocking voices suddenly sounded among the onlookers: "Phew! Who believes that you just want to teach your brother a lesson, there are too many things about bitter almonds eating the dead, you don't know? Can a ten-year-old kid do it? ”

"Plotting ~ killing, definitely trying to plot ~ kill my brother! Although this plot ~ killing is unsuccessful, it should be imprisoned for three years! ”

"Yes, if you hadn't planned to kill ~ from the beginning, how could you blame someone else so coincidentally?"

"The cook's death is not an accident, is it? Infighting plot ~ kill the mouth! ”

"Xiao Langjun, that's your uncle's slave, not your own, although there is a difference between good and low, but it's also ......"

……

Everyone was talking nonsense, making the public hall noisy like a market, and the county magistrate had to pat the hall and shout "quiet".

When everyone calmed down and continued to judge the case, the confused county order had been more or less influenced by public opinion, no matter whether Xingsheng refuted it, he was still sentenced to death by hanging, and handed over to Jing Zhaoyin.

When this judgment drama ended, Yan Bing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly sighed that this public opinion and this legal loophole are really incredible, the dead can be said to be alive, and the living can also be said to be dead.

However, the timing of the appearance of those who helped was quite delicate. Immediately, she looked at Brother Wen Yuan beside her with suspicion, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you do it?" ”

"Huh? What did I do? Wen Yuan pretended to be stupid, looking like nothing had happened. He has a serious and handsome face, wearing a calm crab shell blue brocade round-necked robe, looking particularly down-to-earth, reliable and trustworthy, as if he can't lie at all.

He didn't want to say that Yan Bing didn't ask any more, but his heart was sweet, and he joked with a smile: "Tsk, it's time to brush off your clothes and hide your merit and fame?" ”

This matter is over, and everyone is goodbye. The two siblings immediately went home to relay the verdict to the Li family, but they didn't expect her to faint without saying a word.

It's a pity that no one appreciates it anymore, Yan Bing directly asked the slave to pinch the Li family to wake her up, and then blinked a pair of almond eyes, and asked knowingly in a sweet voice: "A-Niang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li only felt that his heart was so confused that his internal organs were twitching, and he couldn't wait to beat the nosy daughter in front of him who exposed the case.

After enduring and enduring, she sighed and cried as if to hide it: "Look at this mess, how should I explain to your grandfather?" He's going to be so angry, he's really anxious! ”

Three days later, Shu Hongyang returned home in time for the old lady's funeral, and he was indeed almost angry.

In just a few dozen days, he just got the title and was jubilant, his father went, the eldest son was sentenced to death~ sentence, the eldest daughter was discredited, and she was not clean after being in prison...... It couldn't be worse!

No, it could be worse.

After returning from the funeral and sending the old father's tablet into the ancestral hall, before going to bed, Shu Hongyang was blocked in the study by his second son and second daughter and asked a question that he couldn't answer.

"Who is Li Yun?" Xingyi and Yan Bing stood in front of Grandpa hand in hand, looking at him with two pairs of dark eyes without blinking, just waiting to hear the explanation.
