Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 33

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

After a brief silence, the crowd set off an uproar!
"What did he say! It was Cao Chengwen who ordered him to kill Cao Chengwu!?"

"How is this possible? They are brothers!"

"Speaking of brothers, those two were not born from the same mother's womb. Didn't Liu Si's family expose this matter in public before, but it was nothing in the end? I didn't expect Liu Si to jump out and bite now. Son—you can't tell!"

"That's right! I remember that Cao Chengwen was taken to the Yamen for interrogation, but he was acquitted in the end. Now..."

Everyone was talking about it, and the executioner's knife was also hanging in the air. If he wanted to fall, he looked back at Yang Zhen in confusion.

At this time, Yang Zhen was also stunned. He never expected that Liu Si would withdraw his confession in the execution ground!

How is this good?

In full view, Liu Si cried out for injustice. If he continues to order people to execute, he will definitely be criticized.

Looking back, if the people above heard the news, it would damage his official reputation!
Therefore, no matter how much he wants to close the case immediately, it is impossible to finish it smoothly!

With a serious face, he asked in a deep voice:

"Liu Si, what do you mean by that!"

At the same moment, Cao's father and son in Cao Ji Restaurant were also caught off guard by Liu Si's blow.

Cao Deping jumped up from the chair almost immediately, terrified and furious: "Why is he crazy!"

Cao Chengwen's heart was also beating wildly, panicking.

"Father! He, he is spitting blood! You have to help me, Dad!"

Cao Deping held his breath in his chest, unable to move up and down, his face was livid.

Of course he knew the ins and outs of this matter, but he must not allow Liu Si to expose all this!
Otherwise, his only remaining son would not be able to keep it!

Cao Deping gritted his teeth, and said: "It's his fault, as long as he has no evidence in his hand, it's all slander! Didn't they do nothing to you before? This is just a futile struggle before his death That's all!"

Hearing what he said, Cao Chengwen finally felt a little relieved, but for some reason, he was always a little uneasy seeing Liu Si's crazy expression.

He calculated in a low voice: "No, nothing will happen. I have already agreed with him before, as long as he is obedient, I guarantee that his wife and children will be safe—wait!"

Cao Chengwen suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes suddenly, and searched the crowd.

However, I looked back and forth several times, but I still didn't see Mrs. Zhou's figure.

"Zhou Shi didn't come to the execution ground to see him off!?"

Cao Chengwen murmured in disbelief.

This is the last time they can see each other. It is said that Mrs. Zhou will definitely come, but now——

In the end is which part of the problem! ?

……

On the execution ground, Yang Zhen asked: "Liu Si! You said that Cao Chengwen ordered you to kill Cao Chengwu, do you have evidence!?"

Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears and rushed forward to hear more clearly.

Ye Chutang stood behind the crowd, quietly watching this scene with a calm and indifferent expression.

The next moment, Liu Si gritted his teeth and shouted: "Yes! I have evidence!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

——Liu Si really has evidence! ?
Yang Zhen was also secretly taken aback, his eyelids twitched.

During the last interrogation, Liu Si clearly said that he did everything alone, but now he not only retracts the confession, but even says that there is evidence!
In this situation, Yang Zhen had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to ask: "What evidence?"

Liu Si spit out a mouthful of blood and said in a hateful voice: "Cao Chengwen has been jealous of Cao Chengwu for a long time. He heard that the master planned to hand over the restaurant to Cao Chengwu, so he decided to do it. Because Cao Chengwu is allergic to river prawns, he called me there that day. Let me go to the lake to catch prawns, then chop the prawn meat into a puree, mix it in the porridge, and send it to Cao Chengwu."

He took a deep breath and continued: "I didn't dare at first, but he promised me that he would give me a generous reward, and that he would send my child to study in the academy when the child grows up in a few years. Asked me to help him wholeheartedly, he gave me 200 taels of silver, and his jade finger. That jade finger was buried under the third bluestone brick at the corner of Chengxi Street! If you don’t believe me, you can do it now Send someone to look for it!"

Yang Zhen frowned and asked, "Jade finger? What kind of jade finger?"

Liu Si sneered: "The sapphire finger ring was given to him by his father a few years ago, and he has always been a treasure."

Hearing this, Cao Chengwen's legs went limp.

In order to make Liu Si obedient, he did give this as a token on purpose, but the incident happened too quickly, and Liu Si was arrested before he had a chance to retrieve the jade finger.

Later, when he was taken to the Yamen for interrogation, he specifically asked Liu Si about it. Liu Si said that he lost the thing when he went to the lake and couldn't find it.

Although Cao Chengwen was annoyed, he had no choice but to give up.

In addition, he deliberately threatened Zhou's mother and son at that time, so he was even more sure that Liu Si would not dare to talk nonsense.

who knows--

Cao Deping kicked Cao Chengwen, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing in a daze! Go down and explain!"

……

When Cao Chengwen came outside the execution ground, Yang Zhen was already preparing to send someone to look for the jade finger.

He originally wanted to stop them, but finally he endured it and ran to the front in a hurry, shouting: "My lord! You are wronged! You are wronged!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that he was coming, they all exchanged glances, and then quickly gave way to a path in the middle.

Cao Chengwen was out of breath: "My lord! I've lost my jade ring finger for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be stolen by Liu Si! He slandered me! He slandered me!"

This reason does not sound impossible, after all, a finger pull is not an ironclad proof after all.

Yang Zhen frowned even tighter.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Si actually spoke again.

"My lord, I have another piece of evidence! When Cao Chengwen ordered me to do this, he specially took out the bank note he gave me from the bank. He was looking at the account book of the restaurant at that time, and his hands were stained with ink. It happened that half of his finger print was on the silver ticket, and the silver ticket is also hidden in my house, adults can ask someone to fetch it, and compare it on the spot!"

Cao Chengwen could hardly believe what he heard.

He pointed at Liu Si and cursed: "You are talking nonsense! When did I give you a bank note!"

Liu Si closed his eyes and never looked at him again.

Yang Zhen frowned: "Go, get that bank note too!"

The matter is very important, the people below moved very quickly, and rushed back after a while.

"My lord! The jade wrench and the bank note are here!"

Yang Zhen looked at Cao Chengwen: "Come and compare, is this your fingerprint?"

Before Cao Chengwen could speak, Wu Xu and another official had already stepped forward, grabbed his hand, stamped on the paper, and then submitted it.

"Sir, please take a look."

Yang Zhen picked up the bank note and compared it with the fingerprints just printed in his hand.

Immediately, he snorted coldly.

"The fingerprint on it is exactly the same as the pattern on your left index finger!"

Cao Chengwen didn't even think about it: "Impossible! What I gave him that day was a silver ingot, and there is something wrong with this silver ticket!"

As soon as the words came out, the surroundings fell into dead silence for an instant.

Cao Chengwen's mind suddenly went blank, and a bone-chilling chill rose from the soles of his feet.

What did he just... say?
On the other side, Ye's Medical Center.

Xiao Wu squeezed her purse, rested her chin and sighed.

Hey.

——The banknotes I saved up with great difficulty are gone!
