All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Xie's name is Xie Wanyan, she is the daughter of the second wife of the Xie family, and she just married into the Su family the year before last.Because she is the niece and granddaughter of the ancestors, she is very popular with the ancestors, and she is also exquisite in all aspects in the mansion, and she is very popular.

At this moment, she pointed at Su Xian, "The ancestor has always favored this person, and I also respect him as an elder in the family, even though he repeatedly broke the rules and begged the ancestor to empty his private treasury for him. But because of the ancestor's partiality, the concubine pinched his nose to coax his eyes and helped him to fill up the account books. But who knew that this guy was so bold, disagreed with each other, resented his heart, and plotted against the ancestor."

Xie said with hatred: "Your Highness, please bring to justice the person who killed my aunt. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you must report to the Su family, and expel such a black-hearted and unfilial person from the Su family tree." .”

This statement came out.

Everyone in the Su family was shocked.

If someone else said so, it might be doubted.

But who doesn't know, this Xie family is the grand-niece of the ancestor's natal family, and has always been highly valued and favored by the ancestor.

What she said is somewhat believable.

Wu An Bo and Su Wei's eyes trembled, and he looked at Su Xian: "Ninth brother, what Xie said is true? Why did you murder mother!"

"It's just nonsense." Su Xian's face was full of incomprehension: "Where the money I spend in the mansion is used, I have already informed my mother, and my mother will not empty my private treasury for me, and I don't need others to settle it for me. My mother is so kind and loving to me, how could I harm her old man. How can my brother listen to other people's one-sided words..."

"Who said this is a one-sided statement?"

Xie Wanyan was supported by someone, knelt on the ground, and interrupted him with righteous words, "Your Highness, I saw it with my own eyes. Uncle Jiu deliberately led the cat to the grass, and led the ancestor from the gazebo to the edge of the rockery. Taking advantage of her old man's efforts to save the cat, he pushed her down the mountain from behind. The concubine witnessed this incident with her own eyes. The father-in-law and husband had not yet returned home. The concubine was afraid of being discovered by her uncle and would kill her to silence her, so she dared not tell the truth. Now, the culprit is both It has been captured, and I am willing to go to the Yamen to testify!"

She spoke convincingly, explained the details of the case clearly, and voluntarily testified.

Everyone present believed it.

Shen Lingxi was listening, feeling astonished.

What Xie Wanyan said was almost exactly the same as what the ghost of the ancestor said when the murder happened.

This means that either she is the murderer, or she is really a witness.

If it is the former, she can't wait to jump out to testify, what is the difference from "self-explosion", unless she is sure that the evidence in the case is solid, and there is absolutely no possibility of overturning the case.

If it's the latter...

How could she be so sure that the murderer was Su Xian?
There was something strange about this matter, and Shen Lingxi couldn't help but turn to look at the ancestor.

At this moment, the old ancestor had completely sunk down, his brows were deeply frowned, and when he looked at Xie Wanyan with his cloudy eyes, it was rare to see a little bit of sharpness.

Not only her, even Su Xian looked at Xie with a serious face.

He hadn't expected that his niece and daughter-in-law, who had only met a few times, would testify against him with such nonsense.

He turned his eyes again, and saw that his elder brother was full of doubts towards him, and he was so angry that he simply closed his eyes, "In short, I am not the one who killed my mother, and I have never let tiger skin money outside, no matter what. What do you say, I will never admit this crime."

All kinds of things today have surpassed Su Xian's understanding of human nature.

He is magnanimous in his heart, and naturally he is not afraid of people's words. Those two sentences of defense just now are the best he can do for his reputation.

With his usual temperament, he would never argue with his niece and daughter-in-law in front of so many people.

Mrs. Xie seemed to have expected this situation, sobbed in her throat, turned her face to the sky, and cried out mournfully: "Grandma, you have died unjustly! If you have a spirit in heaven, and see uncle doing so many evils, and don't know how to repent, what a shame! Sadly!"

As he said that, he cried out heart-piercingly.

She cried bitterly, Ling Wen wept, and the female relatives also began to cry.

The hall, which was quiet just now, was filled with cries in a blink of an eye, and it sounded a bit more miserable than in the mourning hall.

Su Xian straightened his body, stood proudly in the hall, closed his eyes, neither sad nor happy on his face, completely unmoved.

He seemed even more indifferent.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zeng wiped her tears and said to Chu Yan and Wu Anbo: "Mr. Xie must have been frightened these few days and fainted several times from crying. Why don't you ask Erlang to send her back to rest, and wait for her to calm down before coming to see her carefully?" Let's try."

Wu Anbo didn't dare to make a decision, and looked at Chu Yan hesitantly.

"Alright." Chu Yan said coldly: "Now that the case has been clarified, all that is missing is some physical evidence, which still needs to be verified. After the verification is correct, the culprit will be taken to the Beiya Yamen for the emperor's review. Madam, let the female relatives Take it back and resettle it, and wait for the orphan to summon it."

The meaning in the words sounds like it has been confirmed with seventy to eighty percent that Su Xian is the murderer without a doubt.

Everyone has different expressions on their faces.

Xie was still crying so much that he almost fainted, and he didn't even slow down his crying.

Mrs. Zeng responded, and asked the maids to help Xie Wanyan up, and then led everyone away.

Wu Anbo and his two sons stayed behind, planning to accompany the Embroidered Clothes Envoy to find out about this matter.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yan glanced at him and issued an order to expel the guests, "Please trouble Wu Anbo to order someone to bring the accounts from the mansion, and then call the servants from the ancestor's courtyard outside to listen to the order, then go to take care of the funeral, alone It will be checked."

Since he said so, Wu Anbo couldn't stay any longer, he waved to his two sons and let them go first.

He and Su Xian are the only people left in the Su family in this hall.

Wu Anbo changed his previous questioning look on his face, and gave Su Xian a sharp look.

Then, with a long sigh, he walked up to Chu Yan and bowed solemnly: "Your Highness, Brother She is pure in heart and has been obsessed with Taoism since he was a child. He has never had such worldly desires, so he will never sacrifice money for money." Doing unrighteous and unfilial deeds.”

"There must be something wrong with this matter, and please Your Highness be aware of the details and avenge your younger brother."

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Shen Lingxi was also surprised.

She originally thought that Wu Anbo had completely believed what the family members said.

"Da Lang has been careful since he was a child, which makes me worry the most." The old ancestor recovered from his own thoughts, looked at Wu Anbo with a look of relief on his face, "their brothers have a very good relationship, and he is in charge of that." Nizi, I'm at ease."

As soon as the ancestor finished saying this, Su Xian also opened his eyes and looked at Wu Anbo with a somewhat complicated gaze.

"Brother, don't worry about me, I..."

Wu Anbo interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said in a low voice, "I am not for you, but for my mother. If you are wronged, imprisoned, or lose your life because of it, the saddest thing must be your mother. My mother has been there for you and me in this life. People are heartbroken, I just want her... to go away with peace of mind."

The old ancestor nodded and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his withered hands. He was very moved by the elder son's words.

Even Su Xian's usually serious and dignified face was rarely moved.

He said warmly and sincerely: "Brother, don't worry, no matter whether the case is cleared or not, I will ask the emperor for mercy and allow me to save my mother, and I will send her to reincarnation.

"I am the Qing Palace on Mount Taiyi, the No. 80 eighth-generation master Ming Zhenzi, the only closed disciple. You believe in my magic power, and I will never let you and mother down."
