Chapter 67 The evidence is conclusive



Luo Yecheng followed the voice and looked towards Xuan Yue with a sullen face, "If you have any clues, tell me quickly!"

Xuan Yue said: "When I was investigating the scene with the adults yesterday, I found a trace of blood on the edge of the wall. I guess it was left by scratching the skin of someone's palm while climbing the wall to poison."

Luo Yecheng immediately asked the police to come forward and break open the hand that Zhu Pozi held tightly. As expected, there were scratches on her right palm.

"Mr. Zhu, what else do you have to say!"

"A peasant woman is a peasant woman. She has to work both at home and outside the house. It is common for her to get skinned on her palms!" Mrs. Zhu said weakly.

Xuan Yue didn't expect that this woman's mouth was much harder than that board, so she said: "Sir, I don't know what treasures are buried in the vegetable field in the backyard of the Zhu family. I saw someone digging something in the middle of the night last night." Woolen cloth!"

Without saying a word, Luo Yecheng asked the police to rush to the backyard of the house where the Zhu family lived. After digging for a while, they finally found a brand new small porcelain vase. When they brought the small porcelain bottle back to the ancestral hall and handed it to Luo Yecheng, Huang Yang recognized it at a glance as the bottle she had used to hold arsenic, and then shouted:

"My lord, my lord, that bottle is the bottle I put the arsenic in!"

Luo Yecheng opened the bottle and took a look. Sure enough, there was still some unused arsenic inside. Seeing that there were all the witnesses and physical evidence, Mrs. Zhu finally stopped denying it and admitted that she was the one who poisoned the chickens in Yuanchuyi Farm.

The truth of the case finally came to light.

"Mr. Zhu, why did you do such a despicable thing?" Luo Yecheng asked.

Mrs. Zhu smiled sadly, "Why is this so! She killed my son! Just because of my son's inadvertent move, she did not know where my son was. I don't know whether he is dead or alive! I thought They just took him to jail and locked him up, but when I went to the jail to inquire, he was not there! The son I had raised for more than 20 years could not be seen alive or dead! I did not poison her to give my son Revenge is her destiny!"

When Yuanchu heard this, he couldn't help scolding Xiao Jing in his heart, "Who told you that your son is dead! He is currently serving at the border to defend the city. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the border to check! My Lord Xiao said so , as long as he performs well, he can retire and return home in one or two years!"

Mrs. Zhu's deathly gray eyes suddenly shone with light, "What did you say? My Erlong is still alive! He is still alive!"

Yuan Chuyi snorted coldly, "Of course he's alive, he's still alive and well!"

At this time, Zhu Dahu and his wife, who had already been working in the fields, rushed over after receiving the news. When they saw that their mother had done such a stupid thing, they couldn't help but squat on the ground and cry bitterly. Zhu Dahu's mother-in-law knelt in front of Yuan Chuyi and begged her for forgiveness.

"What can I forgive you for? Let your Lord decide everything!" Yuan Chuyi said coldly.

Luo Yecheng realized that he had found the real culprit and figured out the ins and outs of the case, so he immediately sentenced Mrs. Zhu to compensate the fifteen taels of silver she lost on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Dahu had no choice but to use some of the remaining wages at home to compensate Yuan Chuyi first, and said that they would work to pay for the money they still owed.

Yuan Chuyi sneered, "You can pay off the money within a year, but you don't have to work at my house! I can't afford to hire people like you!"

Xiao Jing had already asked them if they wanted to take Zhu Erlong and leave, or let him deal with Zhu Erlong and the others to stay and work. They chose the latter. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhu always held a grudge and wanted to poison herself to death! If she keeps this family by her side, wouldn't it be like keeping this family around her?

"You can pack your things and leave soon. The government will collect the money you owe on my behalf!" She said and turned around and left.

This news was like a bolt from the blue to Zhu Dahu and his wife. It meant that their family's livelihood was cut off. "My boss... my boss... my boss, please be merciful and give our family a way to survive!" Zhu Dahu cried. He tried to catch up, but Xuan Yue stopped him.

Yuan Chuyi turned around and looked at him coldly, "Your mother wants to poison me to death, and I want to keep you alive, so who will protect me? If I continue to keep you in the village, what if I let her poison me to death one day?" Aren’t I looking for death myself! The world is so big, there is always a place for you, so let’s go!” She turned around and left without mercy.

The Zhu family cried together.

Zhu Dahu knelt in front of his mother and cried: "Mom, you are satisfied now. My second brother is not dead and is still alive, but so many people in our family are about to starve to death! Our whole family has no way to survive!" "

Mother-in-law Zhu looked at her desperate eldest son. Her eyes, which were originally brightened by the knowledge that her second son was not dead, disappeared under her eldest son's cries and became hollow and lifeless, "...There is no way to survive...There is no way to survive." It's..." she murmured to herself.

Seeing that the case was settled, no one in the village cared about whether the Zhu family had a way out, and they all slowly dispersed. Even the Huang Yang family was carried home by Huang Sanfu and Huang Sigui.

The case was over, and Luo Yecheng got on the sedan and went back to the city, humming a tune proudly. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he had handled the case beautifully, but he still found that he had overlooked some information.

"Master, just now I seem to have heard what the Yuan family said about an adult from her family..." He opened the sedan curtain and asked the person accompanying him.

The master thought for a while, "The lady seemed to say something like 'my Mr. Xiao'... Well, that's what she said."

"Her Mr. Xiao! Which Mr. Xiao?"

"Sir, there are several serving officials with the surname Xiao in the entire southwest of China. There is only one with the surname Xiao in the border areas!"

Luo Yecheng couldn't help but shuddered in his heart, "I heard the women in Xishan Village talking about the Yuan family as someone else's wife. Could it be that the man raised his wife here?"

He felt increasingly cold in his heart, touched his body, took out his wallet and looked at it. Here is still the broken silver that the handsome young brother gave him yesterday, but he hasn't had time to use it to treat his men to drinks! In the past, when he looked at this bulging money bag, he always felt very satisfied and had a sense of accomplishment. Now he suddenly felt that this money bag was a hot potato and he didn't know how to deal with it.

The master also suddenly realized that his master had failed as an official. The master had raised a foreign wife here, and he was pregnant. They didn't even know about such a big thing! Thinking about the things his master usually did, for the first time in so many years, he felt that he was with the wrong master.

Luo Yecheng looked at the money bag, feeling very proud, as if he was being bitten by tens of thousands of ants. After finally arriving home, he got off the sedan, picked up his clothes and trotted into the study. Seeing no one around, he closed the door and turned a vase on the bookshelf. As he turned, a hidden compartment opened next to it. When he looked into the secret compartment, his face suddenly turned pale, and he fell heavily to the ground, muttering: "It's over, it's over, everything is over..."
