De'an Lane is home to many scholars and junior officials of eight or nine grades. It is approaching noon and everyone has returned from the city.
Scholars talked side by side, some women bought vegetables and went back to the yard to prepare lunch, and children were running around in the alley. It was a very normal scene.
However, in this harmony, screams suddenly came.
"Help, help—"
A woman covered in blood suddenly ran out of an alley, stumbled and fell to the ground, and looked at the alley with horror on her face.
The crowd roared around, the women helped Cheng Wanwan up, and the men boldly walked into the alley.
As soon as he entered, there was blood all over the floor, a gleaming knife, and three men lying on the ground twitching.
The three men were twitching, but there was no blood on their bodies. On the contrary, the woman who ran out was covered in blood, with blood on her head and face, and her clothes were stained with blood.
"They... they want to kill me..." Cheng Wanwan started to vomit blood in his mouth as soon as he spoke, "I, I am from Sui'an, they are the Ye family, they want to murder me... Who will report me to the official... …”
The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.
Suian people!
Ye family!
Aren’t these two groups of people on the cusp of the storm?
I really didn’t expect that the Ye family would assassinate people from Sui’an in broad daylight. Is there any way to do this?
The enthusiastic women present immediately made an appointment to report to the official, while others wanted to take Cheng Wanwan to the hospital.
She gasped and said: "If you don't go to the hospital first, go to the official and let Mr. Fu Yin see how arrogant the Ye family is..."
"The Ye family is so disrespectful. They first molested Sui'an's maid, and then almost beat Sui'an's son to death. Now, Sui'an is almost dead too!" An old man said angrily, "Let's go, let's all go Shuntian Mansion serves as a witness!"
Someone also found a carriage and asked Cheng Wanwan to lie down in it, with a woman taking care of him beside him.
The woman's eyes were red: "Like the Sui'an people, I was born with mud legs, and I was also a widow. I also have four sons, but I don't have the ability as the Sui'an people, and I am still worried about survival... These days, widows are too It’s not easy. Sui’an people finally achieved what they have today, but they almost died at the hands of the Ye family. Don’t worry, Sui’an people, I will definitely help you testify!”
Cheng Wanwan lay on the carriage, feeling a little weak.
Just when Ye Lingbo was about to take action in the alley, she pulled out the electric baton, and the three grown men were immediately knocked down.
Then, she took out the blood bag she had prepared long ago from the space and used the murder weapon Ye Lingbo brought to slash the blood bag. Blood immediately filled the entire alley.
In order to make it more realistic, she also made several cuts on her arms. As for the injuries on her forehead, if the blood was smeared a little more, it would be hard to tell whether they were real injuries or fake injuries...
She made herself covered in blood, which looked scary, but in fact, the only pain was in her arms.
These ordinary people clearly didn't see anything, but they were willing to testify for her. To a certain extent, it could be regarded as a virtue she had accumulated in the past.
The carriage drove slowly towards Shuntian Mansion.
With such a large group of people coming to report the case, Shuntian Mansion naturally had to take it seriously.
Both parties involved were carried in - Cheng Wanwan was "seriously injured", and Ye Lingbo was unconscious for unknown reasons...
Before Shuntian Fuyin said anything, the enthusiastic people told the story exactly.
Mr. Fu Yin suddenly had a headache. How could the matter between the Ye family and the Sui'an people never end? Why did it even come to him?
I heard that the emperor had already dealt with the general, but he had never really punished the Ye family harshly. The emperor's attitude was unpredictable, so he didn't know how to specifically punish him. Fortunately, one of the parties involved, Ye Lingbo, was unconscious. , but you can take your time to review...
Cheng Wanwan was half lying on the ground, with her head placed on a woman's lap. She could tell by looking at Master Fu Yin's expression that he was worried about something.
There is a good Concubine Yun in the palace, who dares to really do something cruel to Concubine Yun's family?
She turned her head, looked outside, and gently raised her hand.
Among the crowd, Cheng Zhao squeezed in: "Master Fu Yin, my subordinate is Cheng Zhao, editor of the Hanlin Academy. I have a case to report."
The governor wished that something else could divert his attention and let Cheng Zhao in.
Cheng Zhao walked in, followed by seven or eight ordinary people who followed him. As soon as these ordinary people came in, they all knelt on the ground.
A woman wiped away her tears and said, "Please ask Mr. Fu Yin to seek justice for the daughter of the common people. Half a year ago, my girl was selling handkerchiefs on the street outside the city, and she was caught and raped by the eldest young master of the Ye family. Afterwards, They gave us two taels of silver and sent us away... But my daughter has gone crazy since then, what should I do in the future..."
A man in his thirties also cried: "My daughter was also snatched away and occupied by this piece of shit Ye Lingbo. My daughter jumped into a well and died that night. Our whole family has no way to ask for help. How can I ask Mr. Fu Yin to make the decision for my daughter?" !”
Others also cried and complained. Most of them said their daughters had been abused, and two of their sons had been beaten in the street and became disabled.
"We can all testify!"
"Yes, there are some things we have seen with our own eyes!"
Neighbors spoke one after another.
Shuntian Fuyin's face was full of disbelief that so many vicious events could happen in the Emperor's Imperial City.
It can be said that everyone has their own faults in the matter between Sui'an and the Ye family, so he was struggling with how to try the case... But the grievances of these people were obviously suppressed. If they were not dealt with properly, he, the Shuntian Prefecture Governor, might be It's time to get to the end.
He suddenly took a picture of the alarm: "Speak slowly one by one, Master, you go and write the indictment. Someone, bring a basin of water over and splash Ye Lingbo awake!"
This is considered to be a formal promotion.
Cheng Wanwan closed her eyes and "fainted" directly.
Shen Zheng, Mrs. Yang, Grandma Qiao and others had been waiting outside for a long time. After she fainted, they immediately took her out and helped her get into the carriage.
Mrs. Yang used gauze to bandage all the injuries on her body, and then made them look like they were bleeding a little, mainly to make them look miserable.
She changed into plain clothes on the carriage and said, "Go directly to the palace."
Aunt Qiao held a token in her hand, which was sent to the palace yesterday by someone sent by the Queen. With this token, she could enter the palace gate directly.
Cheng Wanwan's eyebrows were heavy.
She must cut off the last avenue of the Ye family, which is Yun Bin.
The queen trusted her, so she gave her this token. If it succeeded, both she and the queen would benefit. If it failed, then she would be considered to have harmed the queen.
Therefore, only success is allowed, no failure is allowed.
The carriage quickly headed towards the palace gate. After showing the token, it was released directly. When it reached the second gate, it was no longer allowed to ride in the carriage. Aunt Qiao and Mrs. Yang supported Cheng Wanwan on the left and right as he walked towards the harem.
Aunt Qiao whispered: "At this time every day, Concubine Yun will take His Highness Five to play in the Imperial Garden."
Cheng Wanwan nodded and followed Aunt Qiao towards the Royal Garden.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Royal Garden, I heard Yun Bin's scolding voice: "Why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you? He can't even say the word "Father", so what use do you have..."
Immediately, the fifth prince burst into tears.
"Cry, cry, cry, I cry every day, take her away quickly!"
Yun Bin's voice was full of impatience.
Cheng Wanwan twitched the corners of her lips. How could a child who was just one year old say the word "Father" so easily? This concubine Yun was really crazy trying to compete for favor.
She deliberately made a little noise, and Concubine Yun over there looked up, her face suddenly getting colder: "Isn't this from Sui'an? Why are you in the palace?"
