Chapter 28 Perjury
The villager said: "The villain drank too much cold water before going to bed that night. He was anxious in the middle of the night and got up to go to the toilet. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard someone calling for a thief. The villain was curious, so he quietly walked over to see what happened. Seeing Ah Niu pushing Lin San to the ground, he ran away by himself. The villain was frightened and froze at the time, but when he saw the second butler Luo push open the back door of the Luo Mansion, the villain dared to step forward and join the second butler Luo Check and find that Lin San is dead."

"Has Ah Niu ever spoken? Did he justify himself, saying that he is not a thief?"

"No, Ah Niu didn't say a word, maybe he knew he was wrong."

"Are you sure?"

The villager nodded vigorously and said, "The villain can be sure."

"Where are you standing to watch? Have you been spotted by Ah Niu?"

The villagers said: "The villain is standing under a big locust tree at the head of the village, and A Niu hasn't noticed him."

Wu Yan looked at the villagers coldly, and said: "As far as I know, the big locust tree is quite far away from the place where the incident happened. In the middle of the night, the lights were dark, and Ah Niu didn't make a sound. How can you be sure that the murderer is Ah Niu?"

The villagers never expected that Wu Yan would ask this question, and their knees were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground and said tremblingly: "That day, that night, the moon was very bright, and the moonlight just shone on A Niu's face, so, so the villain Recognize."

Wu Yan squatted in front of the villagers, stared into his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "You must have remembered wrongly. It was the first day of the new moon, and there was no moon at all. Do you know that I can sue Mr. Liu for perjury right now?" , the crime of defaming others."

There was a buzz of discussion outside the courtroom.Liu Zhifu slapped the gavel vigorously, and shouted: "Bold villagers, don't recruit them honestly."

The villagers were so frightened that they shook their heads repeatedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Little man, the villain is guilty, but the villain actually didn't see clearly. Please forgive me, my lord."

"My lord, he probably forgot. In fact, I told him that the murderer was Ah Niu." A steady voice sounded beside Wu Yan.

Liu Zhifu let out an "oh" and stopped talking.

Wu Yan stood up and saw that the speaker was butler Luo Er.She looked at Butler Luo Er up and down, and saw that he was over fifty years old, smart and capable, with piercing eyes, and secretly praised him, yes, calm enough.

Wu Yan smiled and said, "So, second butler Luo saw it very clearly? Please describe the situation at that time again."

Housekeeper Luo Er said calmly: "My room is near the back door of Luo Mansion. That night, I heard someone calling for a thief, so I got up quickly and followed the sound to the back door. I didn't know the situation, so I dared not open the door easily , opened the crack of the door first, just in time to see Ah Niu pushing Lin San to the ground, and then fled. The incident happened in front of the back door, and I could see clearly that it was indeed Ah Niu. I opened the back door and walked out , he," pointing to the villager, "also ran over, and we checked Lin San together, and found that Lin San had passed away."

Wu Yan asked: "I'm a little curious. After all, you are the second butler of the Luo Mansion, why do you live in the backyard? That place seems dilapidated and remote."

Housekeeper Luo replied without changing his face: "There is no one else in the backyard, and I always like to be quiet. Besides, the eldest lady also lives in the backyard, so someone must take care of her."

Wu Yan looked at him with understanding eyes, and smiled slightly: "You have the key to the back door. If you want to go out to do some private affairs and don't want others to know, living in the backyard is very convenient."

Butler Luo Er said angrily: "Mr. Wu, why are you talking about irrelevant topics? I ask myself that I have never done anything wrong to Luo Fu, and the sun can tell."

"I'm sorry for Luo Fu, you understand." Seeing that he finally got angry, Wu Yan smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you a secret, Lin San gave me a dream last night. Do you want to know what he told me? ?”

Butler Luo Er's face was ashen, and he didn't say a word.

With her hands behind her back, Wu Yan paced squarely in front of Housekeeper Luo Er, and said slowly: "He told me that you have something in his place. He told me where it was put. I did as he said this morning. I searched for it, and I found it.”

After Wu Yan finished speaking, she took out something from her sleeve, waved it in front of Housekeeper Luo Er, and stuffed it back into the sleeve.Housekeeper Luo Er yelled, rushed forward and grabbed Wu Yan's sleeve, trying to snatch it, but was dragged away by Gong Zheng.
