Chapter 6 Confrontation in Court

After saying these words, his clothes, shoes and socks suddenly fell down, piled up on the table, and the jewelry hanging in the air also smashed down, making a crisp "ding-ding-dang" sound.

Seeing this, Mr. Yuan could not hold back. He rushed over and hugged his daughter's clothes and burst into tears. "My miserable Wei'er, your mother has just been there for a year, and you left. How can I, the old man, deal with it?"

When Yuan's young master Yuan Changli heard what he said, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, but Mr. Yuan still didn't want to get up. He just hugged his daughter's clothes and cried bitterly, his face pale as paper, and he looked like he was about to faint.

"Why don't you bring a cup of tea to your master?" Mu Xiaowu first ordered the servants to pour water, and then said to Master Yuan, "Mr. I hope to take care of myself. Sometimes I will be sad in the future, but I can't delay the important matter now. The two words left by the lady just now, can you know the meaning of the master?"

After hearing what she said, Mr. Yuan stopped crying. After a cup of tea hurriedly, he put down his clothes and walked to Mu Xiaowu. His little eyes blinked a few times and said slowly, "Mu Yao, it's a kite. I, Lucheng, produce kites, which is famous all over the country. But... but I really can't understand what the death of the little girl has to do with this Mu Yao."

"You can't figure it out, but others may know the reason." Mu Xiaowu said and turned his eyes to Ling'er standing beside him. The little maid's lips were trembling, her eyes filled with panic, like a frightened bird.

Master Yuan suddenly understood. He walked to Ling'er in two steps and said sternly, "You...you said, are you hiding me something?"

After saying that, seeing tears suddenly flowing out of Ling'er's eyes, he sighed again and said in a slow voice, "You and Wei'er grew up together, have a deep relationship and are like sisters. I also know that you are a loyal girl. But now Wei'er is no longer here, and the real murderer has not been arrested yet. Do you still want to hide anything from me?"

Hearing these heartfelt words, Ling'er cried out with a "wow". She looked at Mr. Yuan and said tremblingly, "A few months ago, the lady met a young master in the suburbs of the city. His name was Chen Yong, a scholar. Since that day, Mr. Chen has sent a letter from the garden every three days. Miss, she will also reply. The two have been dating like this for about three months. A month ago, on the day the lady disappeared, she was waiting for Mr. Chen's kite in the garden, because the kite somehow has not appeared for ten days, but the kite has not been waiting for the kite, but she disappeared."

Speaking of this, Ling'er cried and shook her head, "Master, it's not my intention to hide it. I thought the lady's disappearance had nothing to do with the kite's letter, but when I heard the lady's words, I suddenly realized that maybe the lady's disappearance was really the cause of Mr. Chen..."

After hearing this, Mr. Yuan was stunned for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh, opened his eyes wide, waved his hands at the young and strong servants beside him, and said hatefully, "Hurry, grab that Chen Yong and escort him to the government. I want to sue him for seducing the civilian girl but plunder and killing people."

The few servants rushed out after their lives, but they didn't expect that Mu Xiaowu, who was behind them, stopped in a hurry.

"There is no need to be such a trouble," Mu Xiaowu turned his head, looked at the kite that was still hovering on the wall, and said to Ling'er, "Is the kite that Miss Yuan and Chen Yong sent the letter the letter is this butterfly kite?"

Ling'er looked outside and was shocked and said panickedly, "That's right, this kite is... Mr. Chen's."

Mr. Yuan was so fat that he was so angry that he was not speaking smoothly. He pointed out tremblingly outside the wall and ordered loudly, "Hurry, go and tie the thief up and escort the government." After that, he followed several servants and hurried out of the door.

Mu Xiaowu couldn't call him, and followed him and stomped his feet, "Hey, you're done with me. If he killed someone, why would he return to Yuan's house and fly that kite? Isn't this a trap?"

Kneeling on the cold floor of the yamen, Chen Yong told him about the story of sending letters to Yuan Wei. He talked about how they met, how they got to know each other, and how they became confidants through letters. He also talked about how he was seriously ill a month ago, so he couldn't even get out of bed, which delayed his private meeting with Yuan Wei.

At the end, Chen Yong burst into tears because he never expected that this disease would be a farewell forever. This person who he only met once but regarded as his lifelong confidant would never be seen again.

"I didn't plunder and kill people. That night, I had never been to the Yuan family. Let's take a step back and say, even if I went to the Yuan family, why would I kill her? In the last letter, I had already told Miss Yuan that I would ask my parents to come to propose marriage and marry her. Why would I kill my future wife?" Chen Yong pointed at the sky and sweared to the earth.

Mr. Yuan sneered from the side, "I, Wei'er, is my wife, how could I make a private life with you? I think this is completely your wishful thinking. If you want someone, you are angry and embarrassed, you climbed over the wall and entered the hospital and plundered and killed people. County Magistrate, the one I, Yuan Daoqiao, loves the most is this little daughter. My Wei'er died miserably. You must make the decision for the common people."

Cao Min, the magistrate of Lucheng County, was dizzy by the words from both sides. In addition, he was having a troublesome thing recently, so he ordered the yamen runners to take Chen Yong down first and then ask the heaven to interrogate.

Seeing that Chen Yong had been taken into custody, Master Yuan took the Yuan family and left first. Cao Min had a moment of purity. Just as he was about to rest for a while, he saw the curtain behind the hall moving and a tall figure wearing official uniform came in.

Cao Min quickly got up and bowed, "Mr. Zhao, why are you here?"

The man smiled and leaned over to mix him up, "Mr. Cao, don't be so polite. I just came back from outside and happened to pass by the court. I happened to hear the master being tried."

When Cao Min heard something from him, he quickly said, "Sir... are interested in this case?"

The man narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, "I just heard from the reporter that he had found two wise men in the world and used the method of "Embroidering Soul" to attract Miss Yuan's soul."

Cao Min was frightened and said quickly, "This kind of god-like matter cannot be regarded as evidence. It needs to be investigated again. We cannot convict people just because of one-sided words."

"What are the names of the two sorcerers who cast spells?"

The man seemed to interrupt Cao Min and asked a question that puzzled him.
