On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal
Chapter 1185 Evidence?
The package was removed, revealing a steel knife.
Yan Ruyu glanced at it and said, "Is this the so-called evidence?"
Old Master Wu was a little panicked - this is not right! Why did it change its appearance? When the man in black gave it to him, the knife was not like this.
Governor Cao leaned forward and looked down, his face solemn: "Wu Zhouce, you said this is evidence, tell me in detail, why didn't I see any difference in this knife?"
There is no difference. This knife is too common. It is just an ordinary steel knife that can be made by any blacksmith shop. There is no mark and nothing special about it.
"This...I..." Old Master Wu didn't know what to say.
It was obviously not the case before. The man in black told him that the knife was unique to the former subordinates of the King of Zhennan. Showing the knife in front of the King of Zhennan would make it impossible for him to deny it and have no way to refute it.
Huo Changhe spoke slowly, "Old Master Wu, I respect your knowledge and your family's misfortune. I didn't pursue the previous matter, but today, you held an ordinary steel knife and slandered me as the murderer in court."
"You must explain this in detail. I am all ears."
Old Master Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, please don't make your words sound so nice! We both know whether we did it or not. I can't use the lives of my entire family to slander you."
"It doesn't mean that whoever is pitiful is right, or that someone's family has died and you can just say something nonsense," Yan Ruyu retorted sarcastically, "If you want to accuse someone, then bring out the evidence. Otherwise, you are just trying to slander me with your bare mouth. Oh, no wonder your wife and children are so domineering, it turns out it's all your fault."
"You..." Old Master Wu's face turned red with anger. "Okay, let's not talk about killing people first. My lord, I have something else to say. Princess Zhennan cheated me into buying my farm. She bought a big farm with only five thousand taels!"
Everyone exclaimed.
Five thousand taels was a sky-high price for ordinary people, but they also knew that if it was a farm outside the city, it was indeed not a high price.
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Fraudulent purchase? Again, if you want to sue, where is the evidence?"
Old Master Wu was very confident this time: "Sir, if you want to buy or sell a farm, you must go to the government office to register with a famous householder. The yamen officials will definitely keep a record. Please take out the record, it will be the evidence."
Governor Cao's eyebrows twitched slightly and he looked at Yan Ruyu.
Old Master Wu said, "Sir, you don't want to protect her, do you?"
Governor Cao retracted his gaze and said with a gloomy face, "Wu Zhouce, I understand that you are old and your family has suffered a great change. I am sure you will be hurt. I will not hold it against you if you say something wrong, but you should also be careful with your words! Since I am sitting in this court, I will not protect anyone."
Old Master Wu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Then please make your decision, sir!"
"Take out the bottom file and let me see who the trader is. If the name is the princess, please help me and take back the farm."
Governor Cao looked at Yan Ruyu again, and Yan Ruyu looked normal.
"Well, since you insist, then good, come and get the bottom file."
These things were all in the place where the yamen kept files. It wasn’t far away, so they were quickly retrieved.
The bailiff placed the final document on Governor Cao's desk, and Governor Cao flipped through the pages one by one and read the final document.
Old Master Wu stepped forward and said, "Sir, please help me! My poor wife must have been desperate, so she wanted to sell the farm to raise money for my son's mistake. It's a pity that she was so kind-hearted, but she was deceived. Sir..."
He was crying as he spoke, looking extremely pitiful.
Yan Ruyu said nothing and just looked at him quietly.
The people outside shook their heads and sighed.
"This is a bit... excessive, isn't it?"
"Third Young Master has done something wrong, so he is trying his best to make up for it. His family is selling things and properties. Isn't it taking advantage of the situation to cheat people to buy at this time?"
"Yeah, it really is..."
Huo Changhe's eyes were cold as he looked outside. Yan Ruyu gently held his hand. He looked back and saw Yan Ruyu smiling slightly.
Governor Cao looked up at Old Master Wu, his expression hard to describe: "Wu Zhouce, how did you know that Zhuangzi was sold? Did your wife write to you? Or did you hear it from others?"
"I...I heard it from the servants at home."
"Who said that? I want to call him in for questioning."
"My lord, there was a great change in the family, and the servants were lucky enough to escape. They didn't dare to stay afterwards. I have asked them to fend for themselves."
Governor Cao was stunned: "They've all left?"
"Exactly."
Yan Ruyu asked, "So what you mean is that you don't have any witnesses?"
"We have the government's documents here, clearly showing the buyers and sellers. Why do we need witnesses? Don't you trust the government or the adults?"
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything, so Old Master Wu took advantage of the situation and said, "Sir, please make the decision for me."
Governor Cao did not say anything. He waved his hand and the lawyer took the bottom file to Old Master Wu.
"Look at it."
Old Master Wu stared with his eyes wide open, feeling very excited. He had finally caught hold of something. This time he would bite the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion hard and make them bleed heavily.
Not only did he want Zhuangzi back, he also refused to return the five thousand taels!
But when he saw the buyer's name, he was stunned: "My Bei Ye?"
"Who am I, Bei Ye? What does this mean?"
Yan Ruyu: “…” What kind of sloppy name is this?
As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside the crowd said in a high-pitched voice: "Bear Grylls is here! Come on, make way!"
The people separated again and looked at the person who came in.
He was wearing a colorful brocade robe and a small hat on his head, which was shaped like a red gem. He had thick eyebrows, and his small eyes were slightly narrowed with the corners of his eyes slightly raised. His eyes were full of shrewdness when he looked at them.
He had a mustache and was twirling his fingers lightly. It was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.
This person doesn't look like a native of the Central Plains, but rather a Hu person from outside the Great Wall.
Governor Cao slammed the gavel and asked, "Who are you?"
"Sir, I am the buyer. I was just buying something on the street. I heard that there was a lot of excitement here. Coincidentally, I heard someone calling my name just outside the crowd, so I came in to take a look."
Old Master Wu looked him up and down: "You...you are my Bei Ye?"
Bei Bei nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I am Bei Ye, who are you?"
Old Master Wu couldn't believe it: "You...you are talking nonsense. How can there be a surname like mine among the Hundred Family Surnames?"
"Who said this is a surname from the Hundred Family Surnames?" Beibei glanced at the people outside. "I came from outside the Great Wall to do business. My original name was too long and people in the Central Plains didn't like it, so I gave myself a Central Plains name."
"Hey, you who?" Governor Cao cleared his throat, "You said you bought the Wu family's manor?"
Beibei blinked: "Wu family? Oh, yes, that person seems to be surnamed Wu, and his name is Wu Butler."
"Impossible, it's obviously..." Old Master Wu didn't believe it. The man in black clearly said that it was bought by the Princess of Zhennan.
Bei Bei snorted, "It was Butler Wu who begged me to buy it, so I didn't want to buy it. Why, do you regret it now?"
"Then return the money!"
