Chapter 462 Strange case
While the scribe was bowing and saluting, someone had already restrained the old woman.
Ye Xuan was about to speak, but the old woman had already understood the situation.
She stared at Ye Xuan and asked tentatively: "Are you the governor of this mansion, Lord Ye Xuan?"
Ye Xuan saw that the other party's speech was clear and his thoughts were normal, but his behavior just now was a little too crazy, even exaggerated in comparison, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
He looked the other person up and down, and saw that he was dressed like a merchant, and everything was quite decent, except that it was a little dirty and messy when crying.
The clerk on the side quickly explained: "Your Excellency, this is the mistress who came to sue the official, Mrs. Chen!"
Ye Xuan nodded, waved his hand and said: "I understand, let's take the old lady to calm down first, and I will ask him in person later."
After hearing this, the scribe couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He didn't know before that Ye Xuan had come back and had been arguing with Mrs. Chen for a long time. Now the other party was impatient. If he continued, he was afraid that Mrs. Chen would cause some trouble again.
Seeing that he was in trouble, Luke's friend on the side quickly helped him speak.
"Old madam, you suddenly lost your beloved son. We know how you feel, but Mr. Ye just came here and hasn't read the case file yet. He doesn't know anything. How can I help you?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen also knew that it was useless to continue making trouble at this moment. She glanced at Ye Xuan, bowed to the ground again, and begged again and again.
"Sir, I am an old woman and I am an only son. I cannot die in such an unknown way. Please make the decision for my son!"
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said a few words of comfort himself before returning to the office.
As soon as he entered the court, Ye Xuan's expression changed.
He looked at Luke You and Zhao Kaifeng with a bit of disappointment in their expressions.
When the two saw this, they thought it was because the people in the yamen failed to appease Mrs. Chen, which made Ye Xuan dissatisfied.
Zhao Kaifeng was about to plead guilty, but Ye Xuan had already spoken first.
"Don't you think there's anything wrong with this case?"
Zhao Kaifeng quickly replied: "There are indeed many doubts, but they cannot be connected in series, and it may even be just a coincidence. I will not be able to determine the case for a while.
Ye Xuan looked at Luke, seemingly asking for his opinion.
Upon seeing this, Luyou quickly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, in this case, several people involved, including the official and Mr. Zhao, also went to School Disciple to investigate. Now that the people sent out have not come back, it is really difficult to say anything. What should I do? judge."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan also knew that the two of them were being cautious.
Just thinking of such a simple truth, the two of them hadn't figured it out yet, which made Ye Xuan feel helpless.
Ye Xuan sighed softly and asked the two of them: "You have also seen that the Chen family can be regarded as a family that takes advantage of people's worth and has some assets. Now it is said that Chen Fugui died, but the body has not been found. Logically speaking, even if the retribution is Officials should report a missing person first, but now, they have been waiting for several days to report a murder. "
"Also, after such a big thing happened, even if he only has an only son in his family, he should have some relatives and friends. Chen Fugui also has a wife. And the old woman is so old. I wonder why the people in his family dare to let her go. The old lady and some servants are coming over?"
The series of questions surprised both Zhao Kaifeng and Lu Youyou.
Limited by human relations and Confucian ethics, they never thought that this kind of case might have something to do with Mrs. Chen.
More importantly, based on past experience, they felt that if the murderer really had something to do with the deceased, they would definitely not report it to the authorities and would only choose to treat it as an accident.
Otherwise, wouldn’t you be creating trouble for yourself and increasing the risk of being caught?
But the two of them had to admit that Ye Xuan's words made sense.
Just when the two of them were confused, Ye Xuan continued to give instructions.
"You School Disciple, please secretly investigate the situation of the Chen family! In addition, let me know and ask Mrs. Chen to come over if I have any questions.
After listening to Ye Xuan's words, Lu You agreed and left first.
Zhao Kaifeng temporarily acted as a scribe, preparing paper and pen at the side to record any inquiries later.
After a while, Mrs. Chen was brought over.
Seeing Ye Xuan, Mrs. Chen was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Ye Xuan.
As the two came into contact, Ye Xuan realized that although Mrs. Chen was old, she was actually in good health.
This raises another question: Why do you pretend to be weak and frivolous?
Ye Xuan was just suspicious in his heart, but he didn't tell her on the surface. On the contrary, he was even more considerate and humble towards Mrs. Chen.
He ordered someone to prepare a chair and asked Mrs. Chen to sit down. Then he spoke softly and continued to ask.
"Old madam, how many people are there in your family?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen hurriedly wanted to get up again, but was stopped by Ye Xuan.
She thanked her, then stood up and said: "Returning to your question, this old woman has a hard life. Her husband died when she was young, and her children also died young. At home, only her son and daughter-in-law are left.
'. "Fortunately, my son is still up to his standards. He has worked hard to build a family business and gave birth to a grandson for our Chen family. But the old woman never expected that just a few years after these good days, she would be out of business." This is what happened.”
After hearing Mrs. Chen's words, Ye Xuan secretly speculated for a moment and continued to ask.
"Looking at the complaint, it is said that there are no problems with the son's business, and he has no grudges with anyone. I wonder, how is their relationship as a couple?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's question, Mrs. Chen's face flashed with something strange, but she quickly returned to her original state.
She cried to Ye Xuan: "Although their relationship is a little cold, it is by no means a dispute. Even if there is, my son will definitely commit suicide because of this! There must be someone." You are harming my son! Please forgive me for my son!"
With that said, Mrs. Chen wanted to kneel down again, but was blocked by Xuan in advance.
Ye Xuan nodded, secretly remembering the doubts, then pretended to be helpless and continued to interrogate other questions. (The one with the money) "In that case, does the old lady know who the young master met before he left home? Or, is there anything strange that happened during this period?"
These are normal inquiries. After all, if there is no abnormality or excitement, how could anyone seek death for no reason?
Mrs. Chen thought for a long time, then slapped her forehead and made an angry expression towards Ye Xuan.
"Sir, the old woman remembered that a few days ago, a monk passed by my door and happened to meet my son accompanying me to go out to perform incense."
"Our family originally planned to burn incense to fulfill our vows because our family business was prosperous and life was going smoothly. But the monk opened his mouth and said that my son's face was dark, and he was afraid that something bad would happen to him!"
"At that time, we felt unlucky and drove the monk away. We were no longer in the mood to offer incense, so we went home. Now that I think about it, could there be some evil spirit at work?"
