I was the richest man in ancient times

Chapter 344 The Murderer
"My lord! Xue Hanyu didn't speak, either because she relied on her relationship with you, my lord, knowing that you would get rid of her crime! Or she acquiesced in her crime! With so many people watching, the women believe that your lord will not show favoritism. yes, right?"

Second Madam Shen raised her head, looked at Mr. Ji, and asked in a sad and indignant tone.

"Ah? The prisoner knows Mr. Ji?"

"So what if we know each other? Lord Ji is a good official. If something happens, I believe Lord Ji will not cover it up."

"That's not certain! I heard that Miss Xue, who was sued, is the daughter of a high official in the capital."

"What a cruel heart! How can you kill the grandmother who raised you because you don't want to marry or go home?"

"This girl looks soft and weak, but she didn't expect to be so cruel and merciless, it's terrible!"

"..."

Although Cheng Yue kept looking at that wood-like friend Xue Hanyu, her ears were listening to the discussions around her.

From the discussion, she understood the general situation.

Mrs. Shen Er sued Xue Hanyu for killing her grandmother, uncle, and nephew.The reason is that Xue Hanyu's father found a marriage for her, and the old lady persuaded her to go home and get married.

Xue Hanyu didn't want to get married, so she bought poison and poisoned the old lady. The old lady died of poisoning at noon today.

After Second Master Shen and Second Madam arrived, they immediately felt that something was wrong. After questioning, they found out that Xiao Tao, a maid beside Xue Hanyu, had poisoned her personally. In a fit of anger, Second Master Shen ordered Xiao Tao to be killed with a cane.

Originally, they didn't plan to report to the officials, they locked up Xue Hanyu, and planned to arrange funeral affairs for the old lady, and after Xiaotao was buried with her, they sent Xue Hanyu back to Xue's house.

Unexpectedly, Xue Hanyu escaped and fled to the mourning hall, scolded the second master Shen and threatened him with death.

The Shen family was afraid of the power of the Xue family and did not dare to let Xue Hanyu have an accident in their house. As a result, Xue Hanyu stabbed Master Shen Er in the neck with a knife. The young master was stabbed in the heart, the second young master was pushed to the ground, hit his head on the coffin, passed out, and still hasn't woken up.

All this happened too fast, after the second lady Shen ordered Xue Hanyu to be restrained, the second master Shen and the young master were already out of breath.

Immediately, Second Madam Shen passed out.

When she woke up, she went to the Yamen to report the crime.

This was the answer Cheng Yue organized from the surrounding discussions, but she didn't believe it at all.

Xue Hanyu was the one who could scare her into tears with a cabbage worm, how could she commit a murder with a knife?
"Master Ji! Are you thinking about how to get rid of this heartless thing? If so, then the woman can only go to Fucheng to seek justice from the magistrate!"

Second Madam Shen roared sadly when she saw that Mr. Ji was silent and the discussion outside was getting louder.

"quiet!"

Master Ji patted the desk with a gavel a few times.

The scene suddenly quieted down.

"Shen Luoshi, I want to ask you, where is the murder weapon? Where is the witness you are referring to?"

Master Ji looked at Mrs. Shen Er, his eyes were calm and terrifying.

He naturally knew whether Xue Hanyu, who had watched him grow up, would kill someone.

"The servants in the mourning hall just saw it with their own eyes. The murder weapon was on Xue Hanyu's body. The servants in the yard of the women's mother-in-law can testify that Xiao Tao has brought a bowl of bird's nest to the old lady every day these days."

Second Madam Shen said very firmly.
