Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 5
Mrs. Cao replied subconsciously: "He, he couldn't eat river prawns before, otherwise he would get itchy all over his body and develop red rashes..."

She said, her eyes widened suddenly: "You! You mean he—"

Ye Chutang thought in his heart that sure enough, Cao Chengwu's death was indeed in line with allergic asphyxia death, as long as the allergen is found, this trouble will be solved.

"Has he touched river prawns since he went back yesterday?"

Mrs. Cao looked at a loss, "No, no! Everyone in the family knows that he can't eat river prawns, and he never prepares for this! How could..."

Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Does everyone in the family know?"

The Cao family can be regarded as a wealthy family in Jiangling, with three yards and three yards, and a bunch of maids and servants.

There are so many people here, who can guarantee that there will be no problems?
"What did he eat after he went back yesterday, and whose hands did he pass through? Are there any leftovers?"

Ye Chutang asked several questions in succession, Mrs. Cao was in a daze, she couldn't answer any of them, she just shook her head and muttered that it was impossible.

"Miss Ye Er!"

Cao Chengwen called her suddenly, as if he couldn't bear it,

"My second brother's death has already caused a great impact on my mother, so don't force her anymore!"

Ye Chutang's gaze quietly swept across him.

"Master Cao, I can understand the feelings of you and Mrs. Cao, but I did this to find out the truth earlier and give everyone an explanation. How can you say it was forced? Don't you want to know how your brother died in vain? ?”

This is ugly, but also straightforward.

Ye Chutang didn't want his younger brother to take the blame, so it was understandable to ask for the truth.

The questions she asked were also normal cross-examinations, and they couldn't be called "excessive".

Cao Chengwen immediately raised his voice to retort: ​​"How is it possible! You, you don't talk nonsense!"

Ye Chutang said: "Mrs. Cao is in a sad mood. It's normal that she can't remember it for a while. It's okay. Let's interrogate all the members of the Cao family. Isn't everything clear?"

Cao Chengwen didn't speak, his eyes flickered.

"There are so many people in the family, and it's been a day, how can we find out? The second brother has already gone, why bother him like this!"

He scolded the servants at the side: "Hurry up and help mother go back!"

The two maids responded repeatedly, and stepped forward quickly.

Cao Chengwen expressed grief, "Father is still out of town and hasn't rushed back. If he knew that his second brother would have to suffer this torture after his death, I don't know how uncomfortable it would be! What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and send your second brother home!"

He is the young master of the Cao family. At this moment, Mrs. Cao is in a trance and emotionally agitated, and the servants are of course the only ones to obey.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly there was a shout from outside the crowd, and two officials came quickly.

"Someone reported to the police that there was a murder here. What's going on?"

Cao Chengwen was startled, subconsciously looked at Mrs. Cao, lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Mother, the person you are looking for? Didn't I tell you well this morning, don't report to the official!?"

Mrs. Cao also looked surprised: "I, I don't have one!"

Her son died, and her mind was in a mess. When Cao Chengwen accidentally mentioned that Cao Chengwu and Ye Yunfeng had a fight yesterday, she subconsciously decided that the murderer must be Ye Yunfeng, and brought someone to block the door without thinking.

Cao Chengwen also specifically warned that Ye Chutang had cured the emergency of the Wu official in the yamen before, and it was considered to have saved his life. If he called the official, it would be bad for them, so she didn't ask anyone to report to the official.

Seeing that the person had already come, Cao Chengwen quickly explained: "No, no! It was just a misunderstanding, please trouble me to make this trip!"

Wu Xu glanced around and stayed on the black coffin for a few seconds.

Anyone can see that something is wrong, otherwise how could they carry the coffin to block other people's doors! ?

He looked at Ye Chutang, but his attitude was more polite.

"Doctor Ye, what do you say?"

Ye Chutang saluted, and briefly explained what happened just now without prejudice.

"...That's probably the case. I didn't want to bother you two, but the crime of murder is too serious. If I don't ask clearly, my brother will take this title for nothing, and his life will be ruined. Forgive me, both of you."

Wu Xu stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.

"That's right! Since the Cao family said that Shiro Ye family killed someone, we must find out the truth about this matter! In this case, first send Cao Chengwu to Yizhuang, and Zhang Yu from the yamen will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Make a conclusion!"

"This--"

Cao Chengwen opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but the other party was an official and he was a citizen, so how could he argue?
He still wanted to argue a few words, but Wu Xu had already raised his hand.

"go!"

He took two steps, then turned around: "Both of you should come together! Go to the Yamen and make it clear!"

Ye Chutang couldn't ask for more.

Before going out just now, she heard the other party's clamoring words, and knew that the visitor was not friendly, so she specially told Ah Yan to go over the wall and ask the neighbor Aunt Yang to help report to the police.

Wu Xu owed her a favor three years ago, and today is the time to ask for favors.

The Cao family wanted to make trouble, so she made it bigger, to see who was the guilty one!
Ye Yunfeng didn't expect that just a fight would cause such a big trouble for his family. He was only 12 years old after all, so it was impossible for him not to be nervous or afraid.

"Sister, I'm sorry." He bowed his head guiltily, "It's all my fault!"

Ye Chutang calmly said: "You said that you didn't kill the person. Sister believes you, but others may not. If you can't prove your innocence today, your whole life will be ruined, and there is no possibility of getting up again."

Ye Yunfeng bowed his head, feeling ashamed.

It's because he is too impulsive!If he hadn't—

"So, the most important thing to do is to consider whether the consequences can be borne. Since you have done it, you must dare to do it." Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows lightly, "Or are you afraid to go to Yizhuang?"

"Of course I dare!"

Ye Yunfeng straightened his back suddenly.

He didn't kill anyone, so why should he be afraid!

Only then did Ye Chutang nod in satisfaction, "Then let's go."

Xiao Wu is under the care of Ah Yan at home, so there should be no problem.

She felt relieved, glanced at Cao Chengwen who was bluish-faced in front of her right, and followed him calmly.

……

Inside the house, Lian Zhou recounted what happened just now, still feeling amazed.

"...Unexpectedly, a weak woman like her dared to open the coffin for an autopsy in public! This is really—"

He thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable word, and he became worried again.

"But master, if she doesn't come back, your injury..."

The master's health has just improved, if Ye Chutang is trapped, then——

Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "She will be fine."

Weak woman?
This word really has nothing to do with her.

That pure and clean face is really deceptive, I didn't know it, I really thought it was a weak little white flower, but I didn't know...

Suddenly, he noticed something, looked up, and saw a small head sticking out from behind the half-hidden door.

The little Naituan opened her big black eyes, curious and cute.

The corners of Shen Yanchuan's lips curled down.

"However, my daughter is well-raised."

　Shen Yanchuan: My daughter-in-law raised me
