The eldest lady was stunned, "With all the personal and material evidence, how can she be allowed to deny it? She is so cruel at such a young age. Even if she is not the murderer she hired, who would dare to marry such a woman?"

Then he regretted, "It's my fault. It's all my fault that I'm blind. I shouldn't have agreed to this marriage and brought such a disaster to my son!"

"Auntie, don't blame yourself now that things have happened. My second cousin is alive and well now and has not been hurt at all."

In Jiang Mingyue's view, Sima Yexia was confident.

It seems that he is waiting for this day to come.

If you want to be anxious, you shouldn't be anxious like the Duke of Warring States. The Duke of Warring States is the victim, and there are still several robbers and strong men alive who have entered the yamen. Once the punishment is imposed, I don't believe that none of them will recruit them.

Unless it's a dead soldier.

The most urgent thing now is the Xie Mansion.

The eldest lady held Jiang Mingyue's hand with lingering fear, "Good Mingyue, thanks to your mother underground, she reminded us and made us prepared, so that we didn't let Xie Fang succeed. Otherwise, your second cousin might have It’s really a corpse in the wilderness, and we don’t even know about it.”

"Auntie, let's not be anxious. Someone will handle the case, so we can just watch. Second cousin will definitely be safe and sound."

"Yeah. With you here, I feel much more at ease."

When the official went to inform her just now, she was extremely anxious and felt dark inside.

Fortunately, Jiang Mingyue came back, and a few words calmed her down.

This is truly a fairy daughter sent from God to them from the Duke's Mansion of the Warring States Period.

The carriage immediately rushed to Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.

As soon as Jiang Mingyue and the others arrived, they saw the Xie family's carriage also arriving.

Madam Xie got out of the car in a hurry and wanted to say hello to the eldest lady.

And Xie Shangshu.

The eldest lady glared at them angrily, "What a wonderful daughter you gave birth to in the Xie family!"

Then, without saying anything else, he took Jiang Mingyue into the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.

The Xie family said anxiously, "Misunderstanding, there must be some misunderstanding! The little girl took the maid to attend the New Year's Fair today. She is a weak woman. She usually doesn't go out or step out of the door. How could she do such a thing? Sima Madam, Madam Sima..."

She was also extremely anxious and followed Jiang Mingyue and the others into the Yamen.

……

Jingzhao made Yao Fang very difficult and was sitting in the hall hearing the case.

Today was originally the first day of the annual fair, and he planned to leave early to see the excitement of last year's fair.

As a result, when I was on duty, I took on this big case.

The second young master of the Warring States Period, Sima Yexia, sued Xie Mansion, Xie Fang, for committing murder!

Who in the capital doesn't know that the Warring States Duke's Mansion and the Xie Mansion have been in-laws since childhood. It is said that the children of the two families are a match made in heaven, and they have been married since birth.

As a result, the two people the doll kissed had such a shocking incident.

Buy a murderer!

Sima Yexia personally escorted back several bandits, as well as Xie Fang.

The Duke of the Warring States Period could not be offended. The Xie Palace was also a minister, and they were all prominent figures in the capital. He felt a lot of pressure to have a Beijing envoy come to interrogate him. If it was a misunderstanding, it would not be good to offend both parties.

It was his son Yao Dongying who asked him to interrogate him however he wanted.

His son Yao Dongying went to Tianya Academy and was a classmate of Sima Yexia.

It was also this time that I accompanied Sima Yexia back from the New Year Fair.

The son's attitude was firm, and his initial conciliatory thoughts were immediately suppressed.

This matter must be strange and of great importance.

So, the parents of both parties were notified.

Public trial.

Many officials were also invited to serve as jury members.

After everyone arrived, Sima Yexia calmly told the whole story.

Xie Fang kept wiping her tears and refused to admit, "Those bandits have nothing to do with me. I encountered a rat tide on my way back from the market last year and was chased into a cave by the rat tide. The rat tide in the cave behind has receded. I'm afraid of the outside." Also, if you don’t dare to come out, let my maid Qiaoer find someone to save me..."

"Unexpectedly, Qiao'er found the Second Young Master Sima. I really didn't know that there were robbers hiding in the cave and ambushed the Second Young Master Sima. At that time, Qiao'er and I had already lost our way in the cave's forked roads. The cave's forked roads lead in all directions. . Then, Second Master Sima sent the Zhanzi Army to bring us out, insisting that we colluded with the bandits and deliberately wanted to kill Second Master Sima! It’s unjust! My daughter is unjust!”

"Dad, Mom, save Fang'er, Fang'er is so scared!"

The Xie family begged for mercy.

Xie Shangshu said, "Ye Xia, this is obviously a misunderstanding! These robbers said they don't know our Fang'er. We, Fang'er, just happened to avoid the rat tide and happened to go to that cave. You and Fang'er have been in love since they were young. When has Fang'er deceived you and you didn't believe her words anymore?"

Sima Yexia's expression was indifferent, "She and I just made an appointment to get married as children. We met a few times when we were children. In the past few years, men and women have not been intimate with each other. We have not met a few times in total. Why bother with petty feelings? Besides, I know very well whether Xie Fang cheated on me or not, I don’t believe her at all!"

"If she had no evil intentions, why would she kill her personal maid who had been serving her for many years when her maid wanted to report her? Wasn't she killing someone to silence her?"

Xie Fang cried, "Qiaoer met a ghost in the cave. The ghost confused her mind. She changed into a completely different person and talked nonsense. I didn't want to kill her. I just wanted to prick her acupuncture points with a gold hairpin to make her feel better." She regained consciousness, and accidentally stabbed her throat with a shake of her hand... Oooh, I didn't mean to do it."

Jiang Mingyue heard from the sidelines and was simply shocked by Xie Fang's shamelessness.

What a nonsense!

Jingzhao was stunned, "Are you serious about what you said?"

Xie Fang swore to the sky, "Sir, if I lie even half a word, I will be struck by lightning from the sky!"

She still dares to swear such a poisonous oath. It seems that she is not disrespecting heaven at all.

Jiang Mingyue was a person of two generations. If he hadn't known what kind of person Xie Fang was earlier, he would have been confused by her performance.

As soon as Xie Fang uttered the poisonous oath, the eyes of Emperor Jing Zhao softened when he looked at Xie Fang.

Other government officials were also somewhat inclined towards Xie Fang.

Mrs. Xie took this opportunity and said hurriedly, "Yes, our Fang'er has always been well-educated, gentle and polite. She also believes in Buddhism with me. On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, she is still a vegetarian. If she accidentally steps on an ant, she will regret it. How could a person kill someone and silence them? It must be a misunderstanding! It’s a pure coincidence!”

The eldest lady couldn't help it anymore, "Coincidence? Do you need to kill your maid? How cruel can you do such a thing? There are still several bandits here, let them recruit!"

If it were another case, when the Jingzhao envoy was hearing the case, he would definitely not let the family members of the observers interrupt rashly.

But everyone involved in the case today has a higher official position than him.

He can only give special treatment to all special circumstances.
