Aoyama Chronicle

Zhong Yiwen looked at the middle-aged husband who had already run in front of him, sized him up carefully, searched his mind again, and asked uncertainly, "Are you the third uncle? No, Wang?"

The middle-aged husband nodded again and again: "Awen, it's me, it's me! Heads, come here. Don't worry, this is Awen, the son of the Wu family brother." The middle-aged husband turned his head to greet him and stayed in the pavilion The other two, the older man is his master.

Zhong Yiwen was really surprised that he would meet Wang Shi, the former third uncle whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years here.Is this Wang family the first third uncle of Zhong Yiwen who was dismissed by the Chen family of the state capital Zhong's family in the name of fornication?Many years ago, she married into a businessman's family in another state capital as the second wife, but she didn't expect to meet her here.

Qin Jiu and Mei Zi were also very surprised, they didn't realize it for a long time, and they didn't dare to be convinced until Zhong Yiwen nodded to them that they really met an old man.

"Awen, I didn't expect to see you for so many years. You have grown up so much. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Bai Ji, who is in charge of my family." Mrs. Wang enthusiastically pulled Bai Ji to Zhong Yiwen, and after a while As if thinking of something, tears rolled down my face suddenly, "I never expected to see you again. A few years ago, brother Wu's brother passed away, and I only got the news half a year later, woo... woo woo..."

Bai Ji's age is about the same as Wang's, and his temperament seems a bit submissive, but his concern for Wang's is not fake. Seeing Wang's tears, he immediately came over to comfort him in a low voice.

The relationship between Wang and Zhong Yiwen's aunt, Wu, has always been very good. They are really like brothers. Seeing Zhong Yiwen now and thinking of Wu, it is normal to cry out of control.Zhong Yiwen comforted him: "Ah Wang, my ah and you have always been very close, knowing that you miss him so much, he will be happy too. But, my ah is kind, if you keep crying like this, he will definitely be too I can't bear it."

Wang looked at Zhong Yiwen and nodded, trying to hold back the crying, but couldn't stop the tears still falling down.Bai Ji could only help him into the Shili Pavilion, sat down and calmed down slowly.

Zhong Yiwen looked at Bai Ji taking care of Mrs. Wang, and felt in his heart that Mrs. Wang finally found a good home after leaving his unreliable third uncle.

Apart from Bai Ji and his wife, the other man who came out of the pavilion was much younger and looked to be in his early twenties. When Zhong Yiwen sized him up and down, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Zhong Yiwen.Such a person has only one explanation, he has a guilty conscience, and many people who have this reaction have only one explanation, that is, they have done something wrong.

Zhong Yiwen walked into the Shili Pavilion, waiting for Wang to regain his calm.Neither Qin Jiu nor Mei Zi relaxed their vigilance, Mei Zi was standing beside Zhong Yiwen, and Qin Jiu was on guard outside the Ten Mile Pavilion, observing the young man who did not dare to enter the Ten Mile Pavilion by the way.

It took Wang a long time to hold back her tears, but her eyes were still red, and then she remembered the business: "Awen, why are you here?"

"Ah Wang, someone sent a message asking me to come here!" It's just that the way of sending the message is too dangerous.

Wang looked surprised: "Could it be that you are the one they asked us to wait for?"

"What? What's going on?" Zhong Yiwen didn't expect that it was really not a coincidence that Wang Shi and the others were here.

"Ah Wen, I don't want to hide it from you! We are in trouble, and we are planning to sue the imperial court. If someone hadn't rescued us, we would have died long ago. The head of the family and I have arranged for our children to be sent to the Wang family in Yangzhou for refuge. , now I, Bai Ji and my little brother Meng Anwen outside are preparing to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court, and the future is uncertain. But being able to see you here, I have already satisfied a little regret in my heart." Wang sighed.

Zhong Yiwen felt as if he had discovered something extremely important: "Ah Wang, do you have any grievances that need to be sued?"

"Well, little brother, don't expose your family ugliness. This matter is very important, and we don't want to implicate you!" Bai Ji said eagerly.

Before Bai Ji finished speaking, Wang Shi had already slapped him: "What little brother, family ugliness should not be publicized, and Ah Wen is not an outsider? If it weren't for you, how could there be so many things?"

Zhong Yiwen didn't expect Wang to have such a tough side, Wang was very aggressive, this is what Zhong Yiwen remembered, but it's really no problem for him to discipline himself so directly.What Zhong Yiwen couldn't believe even more was that when Bai Ji was scolded by Wang Shi, he immediately lowered his head. He was originally a tall and straight person, but no matter how you look at it, he looked awkward.

"Ah Wen, don't listen to him, there's nothing you can't say now!" Mrs. Wang didn't regard Zhong Yiwen as an outsider at all, and said directly, "We are going to sue the second uncle at home for murdering the uncle and making False evidence to frame the court officials!"

"Wait, Wang, are you from Xuzhou?"

"Yes!" Wang nodded.

"The court official you are talking about being framed is Mr. Cao Fengzhong, Xuzhou Tongzhi? Could it be that your uncle is Bai Cen, the estranged dean of Huaishan in Xuzhou?" Although it was a question, Zhong Yiwen felt that he had already guessed very well.Let's talk about why Wang Shi and the others appeared here for no reason, and it was noon, and there was no one else in the sight range of the Shili Pavilion, except for Wang Shi and the others.The current situation couldn't be more clear, those people notified Zhong Yiwen to come here, and they asked him to come to collect witnesses.However, those people probably did not think that Zhong Yiwen and Wang Shi were old acquaintances.

"How do you know?" Bai Ji immediately raised his head when he heard Zhong Yiwen's words, and looked at Zhong Yiwen with wide eyes.

Sure enough!Zhong Yiwen didn't intend to say more: "Occasionally, I heard about this case. Now that this case is under pressure, I guess it will be of no use even if you go to sue, it's just hitting a stone with an egg!"

Bai Cen became anxious when he heard this: "Then what should we do?"

Mrs. Wang directly slapped Bai Ji again, which seemed to be the habit of the couple: "Listen to Ah Wen! Ah Wen, tell me, what should we do about this matter? Anyway, we have already risked it all, as long as we can get rid of the facts The truth is clear, even if you lose your life, it doesn’t matter. My uncle and I have always been helped by my uncle. Now that my uncle is dying, we can’t feel at ease. What’s more, the second uncle and the poisonous woman Yu Shi actually sent people to kill us. Even if we don’t sue the imperial court, we have no way to survive except to hide our names for the rest of our lives.”

It turns out that the insider is here. For Bai Jingqing and the others, this is definitely the key to helping Mr. Cao reverse the case.Unexpectedly, those people would give him such a big gift.

"You guys tell me about this specific thing first, and I'll make up my mind later!" Only by understanding the whole thing can we be invincible.

Mrs. Wang directly pushed Bai Ji: "You are in charge, tell me!"

Bai Ji nodded resolutely, and then began to slowly talk: "That day, my eldest brother Bai Cen's birthday, I invited many friends to my home for a gathering, and Mr. Cao was also one of the invitees. Later, I don't know what happened, I Eldest Brother and Mr. Cao had a quarrel in the study. Eldest Brother and I have always been close, so we wanted to go over to see what was going on. But when I got outside the study, Eldest Brother’s husband, Mrs. Zhang, had already gone in to try to persuade the quarrel, so I hid I listened outside. Before listening to a word or two, Mr. Cao stumbled out of the study, left without saying a word with a dark face, and Zhang quickly left the study and went to his own yard. I also thought The matter was over and when I was about to leave, I was met by the eldest brother who just left the study room. He dragged me to accompany him to drink. What happened was that after we finished drinking and were about to go back, we passed by the study room of the eldest brother, but we heard the second brother and Eldest brother's other husband, Lang Yu, talking and laughing in the study."

"The second brother said that although the eldest brother was a high school scholar, he was a fool who could only read. He married two husbands and gave birth to two sons. As a result, the eldest son, Lang Zhang, was always thinking about someone else. The eldest son disappeared for two or three years. I don’t know whether it’s dead or alive. The young husband, Mr. Yu, helped his second brother to raise him. He doesn’t even know that the youngest son is not his. Mr. Yu didn’t refute the second brother’s words at all. I am afraid that there will be no news of my son for three years, and it is probably over. So what about the child prodigy? As long as people dare to appear in Kyoto, they will definitely not make the same mistakes again."

"After hearing this, elder brother became furious and rushed into the study room. I didn't even stop him. I thought it was my elder brother's family ugliness, so I didn't dare to go in. Then I heard elder brother scolding second elder brother and Mrs. Yu all the time, and then he seemed to do it too. When I realized that something was wrong and I couldn't hear the elder brother's voice, I saw the elder brother was stabbed in the chest with a dagger by the second elder brother frantically, and fell directly into a pool of blood." Bai Ji said that this was already a bit broken, "I'm so scared , I was afraid that the second brother would kill me like this, so I ran away. Before the second brother and the others found me, I left the elder brother and ran away. I am sorry for the elder brother, I am sorry for him!"

Mrs. Wang directly slapped her again: "Okay, what's the use of repenting at this time? The most important thing now is to avenge the elder brother. Ah Wen, the head of the family and the uncle are both raised by a strong mother-in-law, so Both the uncle and the head of the family are a bit soft-spoken. The second uncle was adopted by an orphan in the clan without a father and no mother. Without telling me, he told me what he saw. Just as we were going to report to the government, there was already evidence that Mr. Cao and Mrs. Zhang conspired to kill uncle, and all the evidence was obtained. We both know Something is wrong, I didn't dare to make a big show, I just collected evidence secretly."

Zhong Yiwen nodded, he could understand what Wang and the others did, but he didn't quite understand: "Who is that person outside?"

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly: "He is the one who helped the second uncle and Mrs. Yu produce fake letters, Meng Anwen. When we found him, he was almost killed by someone sent by the second uncle. Fortunately, someone rescued us Three people died, and we were sent here, let us wait here."

Zhong Yiwen nodded, this Meng Anwen is a favorable witness, at least one piece of evidence that this person is very important in the case becomes a false testimony.As long as there is one false evidence, other evidence will no longer be ironclad evidence.But the most important thing is to have evidence to prove that Yu Shi and the second uncle are the murderers. It seems that a false evidence is not enough.

Zhong Yiwen decided to sneak the three of the Wang family back to the capital and hand them over to Bai Jingqing and the others. He believed that with these three strong witnesses, Bai Jingqing and the others would at least be able to release Mr. Cao on bail without any problem.
