Ding Sheng was tied up by the yamen servants, Ye Mao stepped forward and kicked him, and said angrily: "You beast, we are in vain to suffer together, you actually killed Brother Zhao and ruined my sister's face! You really deserve it!" Cut to pieces!"

Although Ding Sheng was tall and powerful, he was obviously a hypocritical person who was usually softened by rich wine and meat. When he was caught by two yamen servants, he had no strength to resist, so he could only struggle and shout, "It's not me! I didn't Kill! I was wronged!"

Mrs. Ye cried and came to help Ye Mao, "Husband, now the person who murdered my sister has been caught, we have to find a way to help my sister heal her injuries, she has been crying since she woke up..."

Ye Mao covered his head, sighed for a while, then turned his head to Qin Wenxian and Zhou Hang and said, "Young Master Qin, Mr. Zhou, I have to find someone to dispense medicine to treat my sister's injury. Some rare medicinal materials are not available in Liuzhou, so I can go first Leave to go shopping?"

Qin Wenxian said: "Not yet, we have to wait until the case is officially closed, and you and Zhao Qiming are also related to the 38 murders in Maoyuan. Originally, you should all be sent to Dali Temple for interrogation, but now your sister is added. case, so the situation is a bit complicated."

Mrs. Ye started crying again, "My poor sister...with her face ruined like this, how can she marry in the future..."

"As long as you cooperate actively and let me solve the case as soon as possible, your sister can recover from her injuries with peace of mind."

Qin Wenxian's gaze shifted from Mrs. Ye's face to Ye Mao's, and pondered for a moment, "Well, I'll make the decision on my own and try the case here in advance."

Qin Wenxian and Zhou Hang explained a few words, asking Zhou Hang to put Ding Sheng in prison first, then send someone to notify Zhao Qiming's family to identify the body, write a letter and go to Dali Temple in the capital to report the situation, and finally arrange the execution Tang, bring Ye Mao over for interrogation.

Qin Wenxian was the presiding judge, Zhou Hang was the juror, and Zheng Lixiao, who had nothing to do, also joined in the fun.

Calmly staring at Ye Mao, who was kneeling in the hall, Qin Wenxian went straight to the point: "Ye Mao, when did you buy Maoyuan, and why did you resell it? Regarding the 38 murders in Maoyuan, what do you know?" What do you want to say?"

Ye Mao cupped his hands and said, "Responding to my lord, in fact, Mao Garden was built by Cao Min's father's generation. At that time, I also thought of naming Cao Min. Ten years ago, I married my wife there."

"Many years ago, our Ye family and my wife's Li family were family friends. Our Ye family was in the wood business, and my wife's Li family was in the medicinal material business. Two years ago, my parents suddenly fell ill. It may be that we have been exposed to poisonous wood for many years, so my wife and I plan to end the wood business in the capital, go to Liuzhou to do the medicinal material business, and take my parents to Liuzhou to recuperate. Ding Sheng, who was doing business in the capital at that time, sold it for only 2 taels because he was in a hurry. Later, Ding Sheng sold another 4 taels to his fellow villager Zhao Qiming, who then sold another 5 taels. .

They all made money from it, and then started their own businesses, I didn't think much about it, until the police from the Yamen found me a few days ago, I didn't know that there were 38 lives in that pond..."

Qin Wenxian glanced at Ye Mao, who was sincerely confessing to the case, then raised the back of his left index finger and wiped his eyebrows, and asked, "So, you are completely ignorant of those 38 murders, and the only suspects are Could it be Zhao Qiming or Ding Sheng?"

Ye Mao kowtowed, bowed his head earnestly and said: "My lord, please be aware that the villain's family really didn't know about it. After all, the Mao Garden was built by my father. Even if I changed hands and sold it, I still have a lot of affection for Mao Garden." , Absolutely cannot allow the act of killing people and burying corpses there."

Qin Wenxian was silent for a while, and Zhou Hang next to him nodded and said, "It seems that you are not suspected, so you should go home and take care of your sister, and we will summon you again if necessary."

"Thank you, sir." Ye Mao kowtowed again and left the execution hall.

Zheng Lixiao yawned, and glanced at the silent Qin Wenxian, "It seems that you think this matter is suspicious?"

Qin Wenxian didn't answer him, but turned to Zhou Hang and said, "Master Zhou, I want to go to the prison alone to interrogate Ding Sheng, don't let anyone disturb me."

Zhou Hang was worried that it would be difficult to explain the case without convicting the criminal, so he would naturally not refuse, "Your Excellency also thinks that Ding Sheng is suspected, you can rest assured to interrogate him."

Qin Wenxian asked a yamen servant to lead the way to the prison, obviously refusing Zheng Lixiao's intention to follow him any longer. Zhou Hang was not stupid, so he turned around and warmly entertained Zheng Lixiao, inviting him to his house as a guest.

Zheng Lixiao looked at Qin Wenxian's back, and sighed, "Will Qin Wenxian live in your house tonight?"

Zhou Hang laughed, "It's natural, entertaining two distinguished guests is the duty of a subordinate official."

However, he said this because he didn't understand Qin Wenxian, and he didn't even think about going to Zhou Hang's house. After Ding Sheng was interrogated in the prison, he returned to Ye Mao's house, intending to continue to inspect the crime scene.

Because the case of Maoyuan has not been closed yet, Ye Mao has to cooperate with the summons at any time, so there are government officials guarding the vicinity of Ye Mansion, and Ye Mao is only allowed to move within the range of his home.

When he learned that Qin Wenxian came to visit again, although Ye Mao was a little surprised, but because of their identities, there was no reason to refuse, so he could only let him walk freely in the mansion.

While wandering around, Qin Wenxian sorted out his thoughts, inadvertently, the servants of Ye Mansion were secretly whispering about the murder case last night.

"Miss is so pitiful, she is beautiful, and so smart and capable, she was disfigured just like that..."

"Yeah, there are quite a few men who like Miss. I always feel that Miss won't cheat on the man she met on the first day..."

"Shhh, don't talk about it, there are still children here, the master and wife will punish you if they find out."

A woman with a child in her arms interrupted the discussion of the servants. The woman was dressed in simple clothes, but the child looked like a well-clothed young master.

Qin Wenxian saw Ye Mao's wife holding the child before, and knew that this was Ye Mao's two-year-old son, so this woman was the child's nurse.

Qin Wenxian stepped forward, looked at the child with a smile, "Young master is so cute, don't you have other brothers and sisters to play with him?"

The nurse knew that this kind-faced young man was the master's guest and the young minister of Dali Temple, so she was not prepared. "I have an eight-year-old sister who usually likes to be with grandparents, so she rarely plays with the young master."

Qin Wenxian remained calm on the surface, but felt a little strange in his heart.

Although he had only been in the Ye Mansion for three days, too many things happened to Ye Mao as the head of the family in these three days. Before that, Ye Mao was summoned by Dali Temple as a suspect in the murder of 38 people in Mao Garden, and then Ye Mao was arrested again. Kidnapped by people from Wujimen, finally rescued and returned home to reunite with relatives, the next day my sister was disfigured at home again...

With such a big event happening at home, the servants around Ye Mao were all busy, but Qin Wenxian had never seen Ye Mao's eight-year-old daughter and father-in-law show up.

Qin Wenxian had an intuition that there was something weird about it, so he chatted with the wet nurse for a while, and asked about the location of Ye Mao's father-in-law and mother-in-law's courtyard. Some things, paper, bamboo, thread.
