shock!After dressing up as a vicious stepmother, I spoiled the villain

Faced with the slightly provocative words, the man's eyebrows were filled with anger, but because of his identity, he dared not speak out in anger.

Are you still thinking of provoking her like this?

Yu Wei half-closed his eyes and showed a half-smiling expression, which made the man very angry.

"Of course I have the evidence, but you still need to investigate this matter carefully. I have reason to suspect that this is a false accusation."

The other side of Dali Temple frowned deeply, obviously thinking of this: "Madam, you are right, this matter must be investigated."

Regarding the old man, Dali Si Cheng also felt that the other man's appearance was too coincidental, and it was surprising that an old man was not dead after being tortured.

No one present was a fool, so they naturally thought that someone was operating behind the scenes.

Especially Marble Cheng, who was placed in the position of solving the case.

This is his duty. , he has a natural keen sense of smell for the case.

Even if the general's wife didn't say anything, he would still check it out.

The Ministry of Punishment was very worried: "If Madam can walk and sit upright, why should she be afraid of the old man?"

Yu Wei glanced at him and said, "Did I say I was scared?"

Perhaps this look was a bit intimidating, and the man turned his head and said nothing.

Yu Wei sneered: "It's no good if you don't have good ears at a young age. For bigger things, it's on the line. I can walk and sit upright, so I'm naturally not afraid."

Then Dali Temple asked about the evidence. In fact, it stands to reason that this kind of matter must be proved in court, but Yu Wei has a special status, so there is no need to come forward until the matter is unclear.

It is a common problem for nobles to think highly of themselves, but the Prime Minister of Dali Temple still knows the rules and brings people to the door in person.

It's easy to argue with evidence, but she also wants to hear what the other party has to say.

Dali Si Cheng explained the cause and effect.

It turned out that there was an old man beating the drum at the gate of the palace this morning, complaining about grievances while beating it.

The old man said that he was from a family in the village next to Yuweizhuangzi, and that his son had originally invented this new rice. When someone saw it, he told the general's wife directly.

The general's wife took her son to plant rice, but his son never came back. Not long ago, the old man got up early to go to the mountains to hunt pigweed, and found his son's body thrown in the bushes.

This poor old man has always been dependent on his son. At least he still had some hope before his son died. But after his death, he has no hope at all and only thinks about revenge.

He firmly believed that Yu Wei was killing people and silencing them.

So I risked my life and wanted to exchange my limit for one, and use my old life to take away Yu Wei's little life.

Of course, the final summary was what Yu Weixin thought about.

She was speechless: "Does he have evidence? Without evidence, anyone can beat the drum and complain."

Someone from the Criminal Department stood up and said, "Of course there is."

As he spoke, he took out the token: "Here are the letters and personal belongings brought by the old man."

Yu Wei didn't answer, just glanced at it, and then raised his chin: "What are these?"

The officials from the Ministry of Punishment were not satisfied with Yu Wei's arrogance, but he didn't say anything. He explained: "This letter was sent to a friend by the old man's son before he died. After the man died, his friend gave the letter to the old man. .”

"The other jade pendant is said to be belonging to a steward in the village."

"Oh." Yu Wei curled his lips: "These things can all be fabricated. Lord Si Cheng should understand."

The official from the Ministry of Justice frowned: "It can be true, right?"

Si Cheng looked at both sides and felt like a sandwich pastry.

He coughed twice: "Master Shang is right. Of course, Madam's suspicion is not wrong, so I immediately sent someone to check the steward and the manor."

He went without saying hello to Yu Wei. Of course, when the Criminal Department and Dali Temple were handling the case, they didn't need to say hello to anyone. What they wanted was to be caught off guard.

Yu Wei's face was still calm, but his expression was a bit colder.

Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have this right, and this is a formal method of handling cases, and Yu Wei cannot refute it at all.

It was at this time that a man in official uniform came in from outside. As soon as he saw Si Cheng, he immediately leaned into his ear and whispered in his ear.

Si Cheng listened and looked at Yu Wei with deep meaning.

Yu Wei also understood that this must have started from the shopkeeper.

Since the other party can produce the so-called evidence, he must have made complete preparations.

The jade pendant or something must be real. As for the letter, it was most likely a last resort.

Sure enough, Si Cheng looked at Yu Wei with an embarrassed look on his face after hearing this: "Madam, the yamen servant who checked is back. That jade pendant is indeed a personal belonging to the steward, and there is also a long-term worker named Zhu Tao in the farm."

Lord Shang of the Criminal Department sneered: "The witnesses and material evidence are all there, what else does the general's wife have to quibble with?"

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple felt that the Punishment Department's words were too harsh, but the people in the Punishment Department had always behaved like virtuous and rampant villains.

Yu Weili ignored Mr. Shang, but looked at the yamen servant and asked, "What did my steward say?"

The yamen servant reported back: "The steward said that Zhu Tao was a lazy person and was about to fire him. Who knew that Zhu Tao knew about it in advance, so he stole his jade pendant and ran away."

It seems that the steward most likely did not rebel.

Yu Wei looked at Mr. Shang of the Ministry of Punishment again and said sarcastically: "My lord, don't be too arbitrary in your judgment of the case. Don't listen to one-sided remarks. After all, you are still an important minister of the court. Don't be like a brainless pig who follows the wind and rains."

"you--!"

"What are you talking about? I am of royal blood, a princess conferred by His Majesty, and I am the wife of General Zhenbei. Lord Shang should be more polite when speaking."

Si Cheng felt that the general's wife was very venomous and it made him feel good to criticize her. He was also glad that he was not one of those villains from the Criminal Department.

Mr. Shang's face turned red after being scolded by Yu Wei, but he didn't dare to act rashly because of his reputation as General Zhenbei.

Yes, even if she does not have the title of princess, she is still the second-grade imperial concubine and the wife of General Zhenbei.

Master Shang stopped, and Yu Wei became aggressive: "What do you think of this matter, Master Si Cheng?"

Si Cheng frowned: "It is true that we cannot listen to the old man's side of the story in this case, so we have to continue to investigate. If there is any need for my wife later, please cooperate with me."

Yu Wei nodded: "Easy to say."

The first day was spent in an unusually ordinary way. After the two groups of people investigating the case left, Yu Wei called Rabbit directly.

"I want information on the recent activities of the third prince, the Zheng family, and the Xu family."

After hearing this, Rabbit knew that something was wrong, so he didn't bother urging him. He didn't even care about what happened last time he was controlled, and went to inquire about the news from Yu Wei regardless of past suspicions.

At night, Yu Wei slept alone. The absence of one person still had some impact, and he was not used to it.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Yu Wei fell asleep. The next day, when Yu Wei woke up, she got the message from Rabbit.

The third prince was not only thinking about how to restore his honor and favor every day, but also he was very indifferent, so he sent killers to kill her and the children.

Not to mention the Xu family, Yu Wei didn't know if he didn't check. After checking, he found out that the Xu family had become such a mess during this period.
