"You're talking nonsense!" Zhou Hui raised his head abruptly, his angry face was like a raging beast.

The jailers unsheathed their knives in unison, "Bold!"

"Ever since you knew that your mother killed Zhao Tianze and threw him to the place where your elder brother had an accident, you have been worried. At first you wanted to get rid of your mother by the hands of the official, and then moved to the capital to stay away from right and wrong. Later, you learned that she knew the truth back then. , I am afraid that your crimes will also be exposed, so I want to kill you before I am interrogated." Ye Sirui's words were sonorous.

"It's a pity, I know that you won't give me a chance to interrogate my aunt, so I asked about the situation in the cell yesterday and sent someone to protect her." Ye Sirui spoke clearly, seeing Zhou Hui's face turned pale again. "I brought the people you left in the county government." Said with a wave of their hands, the two guards escorted another gagged young servant, who was the one serving by Ye Sirui's side.Zhou Hui glanced at him and quickly looked away.

"You don't have to keep silent, the official of this case already knows the details. You lied to Mrs. Zhao, oh, it was Miss Zhang who wrote a letter at that time, accusing your brother of being unfeeling, and asking your brother to the lake, you lie in ambush Behind him, I pushed him into the water by taking advantage of his unpreparedness, what I said, is there a half mistake?" Ye Sirui asked.

Zhou Hui had blue veins popping up on his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"It's ridiculous that Zhou Xing lost his brother's life to pay off the peach blossom debt, but that Miss Zhang paid for her life for her lover." Ye Sirui teased mockingly.

Zhou Hui finally couldn't bear it any longer, "You don't understand anything! You spitting blood! Ms. Zhang, Ms. Zhang doesn't..." He came to his senses, shut his mouth suddenly, and only stared at Ye Sirui bitterly.

"That's right, Ms. Zhang was completely kept in the dark, because her lover is not Zhou Xing at all!" Ye Sirui raised his voice, "You are the one who ruined her innocence! But because you drugged her into a coma, she mistakenly thought it was Zhou Xing , you are jealous of your brother, and you tried every means to get the woman who admired him, but you saw her hurt because of your brother's engagement, so you tricked her into killing him!"

"You don't understand anything! He's not that kind of person at all! Mrs. Zhang, she just doesn't know people well!"

"She believed you because she didn't know people well!" Ye Sirui snorted coldly.

In the darkness, Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Tianze's mother, the former Ms. Zhang stepped out, knelt down in front of Ye Sirui, and burst into tears. "The woman is convicted."

"Ms. Zhang! Mrs. Zhang!" Zhou Hui lost his mind for a moment.

Ye Sirui waved his hand again to signal the jailer to take the little official and Mrs. Zhao down.

Zhou Hui took a few rough breaths, "Heh, heh, you know all about it...she told you all about it...but you didn't win either!" He smiled ferociously, "Isn't Master Kuang still unconscious? ? Your Excellency won’t invite me, this gentleman, to visit Yi Er?”

"You!" Ye Sirui gasped, fear appeared on his face for the first time.Xia Shu held his shoulders tightly.

"I fiddled with the incense I ordered." Zhou Hui said contemptuously, "It's just a kind of poison, just in case, but I didn't expect it to be used. The old woman also took some, but the amount was much lighter. I didn't expect that she found out and hid it to deal with that kid." He spat on the ground, "I want you to experience the pain of losing a loved one!" He laughed again.

Ye Sirui was too angry to speak.Zhou Hui laughed enough, and said, "It's not impossible for you to save him. Let me go out and prepare a carriage driver for me to take me to Beijing. When I am named on the gold list, I will offer the antidote with both hands. But If you dare to play any tricks, your nephew's life will not be that big."

Ye Sirui sneered, ignored him at all, and reprimanded the jailer: "Take him away yet!"

As soon as Zhou Hui's figure disappeared, Ye Sirui immediately lost his strength, and Xia Shu squeezed his shoulder hard again, forcing him to stand up straight. "Take me to see Ye Kuang."

Ye Kuang was already furious.Xia Shu's complexion remained unchanged, she put her fingers on his wrist, leaned over and opened his eyelids, and checked his lips.Ye Sirui waited patiently for him to finish his busy work, and asked, "How is it?" His voice trembled slightly.

Xia Shu nodded, speaking slowly, "I can cure this poison."

In the morning, open the church.

The magistrate of Ye County opened the hall to settle the case, and the common people gathered to watch the excitement, and the second hall of the county government was completely surrounded.They were even more shocked when they saw Zhou's mother and son kneeling in the hall.Zhao Yaozu was brought by the yamen early in the morning, and he knelt on the side tremblingly. "My lord, I don't know..."

Ye Sirui pointed at Mother Zhou, "That's the murderer who killed your son."

Zhao Yaozu's body shook, "Didn't Erniu be taken in as a disciple by Wenquxing?"

"Rural rumors are nothing more than nonsense." Ye Sirui smiled, "Come here, bring Mrs. Zhao!"

The crowd began to clamor.Zhao Yaozu looked bewildered, helpless, and turned his eyes for help to the woman who was brought up by the jailer wearing a face scarf.Mrs. Zhao lifted the scarf slightly, revealing a haggard but calm face.

"Is the person in the hall the Zhao family? Zhao Yaozu's wife, Zhao Tianze's mother?"

"Return to my lord, that's right."

"Mr. Zhao, did you release the rumor that your son was taken in as a disciple by Wenquxing?" Ye Sirui was in high spirits, not angry.

"Return to my lord, that's right."

"Twelve years ago, after Zhou's eldest son, Zhou Xing, died, you were also the one who spread the rumor that Wenquxing took him in as a disciple?"

"My lord...exactly."

"Do you know who killed your son?" Ye Sirui raised his voice and asked in spite of the amazed audience.

Mrs. Zhao replied obediently: "The woman knew that Tianze was killed by the Zhou family. The woman was afraid that the truth about the murder of the Zhou family would be revealed, so she concealed it and did not report it."

This time it was like lighting firecrackers, and the noise from all around couldn't stop for a long time.Zhao Yaozu stared at his wife who had married for many years as if he was looking at a stranger.

Ye Sirui patted the gavel, "Quiet!" Then he asked Mrs. Zhao: "How did Zhou Xing die? You are telling the truth."

Mrs. Zhao didn't speak for a long time this time.

"Come quickly!" Ye Sirui slapped the gavel again.

Mrs. Zhao trembled in fright, and then said slowly: "The woman wrote a letter to ask Mr. Zhou's family to meet by the river at midnight...Zhou Hui pushed him into the water from behind while he was waiting."

There was another exclamation from the hall.

"What else did you write in your letter?"

"The woman...the woman accused him of being ungrateful and ungrateful, ruining her innocence, yet marrying someone else." Zhao Shi said in awe.

Ye Sirui had to pat the gavel again to keep the hall quiet. "The person who gave you medicine and ruined your innocence, is it Zhou Xing or Zhou Hui?"

"It's Zhou Hui!" For the first time, Zhao showed a resentful expression.

Ye Sirui did not continue to interrogate Zhou Hui, but turned to Zhou's mother. "Mother Zhou, are you guilty of killing Zhao Tianze?"

Zhou's mother smiled calmly, and told the whole process of throwing Zhao Tianze into the water after she was stunned by medicine, and then talked about the past in detail. The clothes were splashed with mud... The woman knew that Xing'er's death was wronged, but the woman did not dare to ruin his reputation, who would have thought, who would have thought," she coughed violently, "who would have thought that the treacherous This bastard did it too!"

Ye Sirui has sent someone to take Mrs. Zhao down.Zhou Hui had an indifferent expression on his face.

"The woman knows that her crime is unforgivable, and that child is very similar to when I was young, and my son was so smart when I was young. I can't help it... I can't help it...but I have no other way, just say nothing. Said, who will believe me? Only with my old life... to risk this old life... May the Lord return my son Zhou Xing's innocence." Zhou's mother was crying, looked up at the sky, and looked at the hall. Ye Sirui finally kowtowed tremblingly.

"Zhou Hui, are you convicted?" Ye Sirui asked sharply.

Zhou Hui originally saw Ye Sirui's face as usual, knowing that he failed to threaten him, he had been gray and silent, but now he laughed again, "What's my crime? I can't be a sibling, and he is worthy of Zhou Xing? He is also a mother." His child, he has fame, someone loves him, and I have no money to buy paper and pens when I return home to entertain guests? Why should he? He has a good wife and beautiful concubine, why should he seduce Mrs. Zhang?"

Zhou's mother was sobbing, "Nie Zi, don't hesitate to confess your sins!"

Dian Shi was shocked in his heart, and swiped his pen like flying.

After leaving the hall, Ye Sirui changed his clothes first, and saw that Ye Kuang had come over, first saluted in a dignified manner, "I met Uncle Rui." Then he threw himself into his arms, "Uncle Rui finished the trial? "

"Yeah." Ye Sirui smiled and patted his head. "You're recovering from a serious illness, don't run around."

Xia Shu really detoxified Ye Kuang, and also detoxified Zhou's mother who was not deeply poisoned.I owe him a great favor.He didn't want Ye Kuang to know the truth, so he disposed of all the incense in the mansion, and only said that he had caught a cold and lay in bed for a few days.If he didn't mention Xia Shu's life-saving grace, he only said that he came to visit a few times, and Ye Kuang was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, which made Ye Sirui feel a little sour.

He had already written a note to report the ins and outs of the case to the state government, but Ye Sirui thought with a sneer that there was still one problem that had not been resolved.

He still remembers Xia Shu explaining to him: "This kind of poison is colorless and tasteless. It causes lethargy and fever. It is very rare for mild cases to cause mental disturbance, and severe cases may cause death."

"My lord, my lord, it's not good!" The master secretary rushed over.

Ye Kuang obediently left the room without waiting for orders. "What's the matter?" Ye Sirui raised his eyebrows.

"The prisoner... Zhou Hui, committed suicide." The chief secretary said in a low voice.

Ye Sirui really looked unhappy, "The yamen guards in charge deducted two months' money each, and they can't even look after a prisoner, what do you want?" The chief secretary resigned obediently.

Ye Sirui snorted coldly.

"Kuang'er, are you going to play with Uncle Xia?" Ye Sirui walked out of the room with a smile on his face.

"Okay!" Ye Kuang happily agreed.

Ye Sirui had already ordered someone to prepare the carriage, and added a cloak to Ye Kuang.Ye Kuang stayed in bed for several days and only drank some light porridge for three meals. He had already lost a lot of weight, but he didn't dare to let him see the wind again.

Xia Shu's courtyard door was open.When the two walked in, he was practicing sword in the yard, with a sword flower in his hand, and wiped it against the ground, his whole body flipped in the air, and finally landed firmly.

Ye Sirui was thoughtful.

Xia Shu stopped to look at them, "You are here." Ye Kuang stepped forward to salute, but he also responded and nodded.

Ye Kuang circled around him, looked at his sword carefully, his admiration was beyond words, and sometimes he looked at Ye Sirui eagerly.Ye Sirui said helplessly: "Brother Tianshu, would you like to teach Kuang'er Kung Fu?"

"Okay." Xia Shu seemed not surprised, and agreed firmly.

Ye Kuang couldn't believe it for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and kowtowed to Xia Shu, "Disciple salutes master!"

"I'll send you the revised date." Ye Sirui added helplessly.

Xia Shu ignored him, but said to Ye Kuang: "Learn Kung Fu from me, you have to bear hardships, and you are not allowed to sue your uncle."

"Of course!" Ye Kuang replied confidently.

A faint smile crossed the corner of Xia Shu's mouth.

Ye Sirui was also laughing, but his heart was still full of coldness.
