Upon hearing Yun Shangren's instructions, everyone present was shocked and seemed to understand something.
Yun Xiyu came soon. Looking at the solemn expressions of everyone, they looked at Yun Shangren in confusion.
Yun Shangren looked at her coldly and said word by word: "Yu'er, Xiaocui is dead, do you know?"
Yun Xiyu opened his mouth slightly, then shook his head vigorously. After looking at Yun Shangren in surprise for a while, he said with a look of surprise: "What's going on?"
"So, have you seen Xiaocui in the past three days?" Yun Shangren asked in a deep voice with a serious face.
"No." Yun Xiyu shook her head firmly.
"So, do you know this jade pendant?" Yun Shangren opened his right hand and showed her the jade pendant resting on the silk handkerchief.
Yun Xiyu's expression changed, and unknown emotions flashed through his eyes. After a long time, he cautiously said: "That one seems to be my daughter's jade pendant."
"So, tell me, why is your jade pendant in the hands of the dead Xiao Cui?" Yun Shangren's face remained unchanged, and he asked slowly, staring into Yun Xiyu's eyes.
Yun Xiyu's face was a little pale. He lowered his eyes, bit his lip and thought for a long time, then raised his eyes and answered: "My daughter... I don't know, my daughter's jade pendant has been lost for a long time."
"Really?" Yun Shangren's answer was very calm, and Yun Xiyu felt that he did not believe what he said.
"Father, you won't...doubt me, will you?" Yun Xiyu looked at Yun Shangren and asked stammeringly.
"Yunlong, Yunhu, you take people from the third young master, the fifth young lady, and the fourth young lady's courtyard to the dungeon, search their houses, and ask questions one by one until the results are obtained." Yun Shangren did not answer Yun Xi.
What Yu said was that he snorted coldly and said angrily.
"Yes." Yunlong and Yunhu agreed and split up.
"Butler, buy a coffin and bury Xiao Cui." After Yun Shangren gave the instructions, he strode away without even looking at the others.
Yun Jingxi and others took one look at the scene and left in silence.
The truth of the matter came to light that night. In the woodshed in Yun Xiyu's yard, clothes that were exactly the same as Xiao Cui's clothes were found. In the room of Yun Xiyu's nanny Qi's mother, whips and the like were found.
Instruments of torture.
Therefore, Qi's mother was brought to Yun Shangren overnight. Along with Yun Xiyu, Yun Jingchu and Yun Jingxi, who had been suspected, they were also called.
Si Xing Tang.
"Mother Qi, tell me, did you kill Xiao Cui? Who was your instigator? Who else killed Xiao Cui with you?" Yun Shangren slapped the table, looking at the haggard Mother Qi below, and said sternly
asked.
"Sir, I didn't. Xiaocui and I had no enmity in the past and have no enmity in recent times. Why do we want to harm her?"
"There is fabric from Xiao Cui's clothes in the woodshed, and there are personal torture instruments in your room. How dare you deny it?"
"Master, I didn't! I didn't!" Qi's mother looked innocent and firmly denied it.
Yun Shangren sneered, "You don't admit it, do you? Come here and put Mother Qi to death until she takes it."
Four strong mothers came up carrying a bench, pulled up Qi's mother and pushed her down on the bench. Two of them held down her upper body, and two of them picked up the board and beat her, which made Qi's mother heartbroken.
The shouts suddenly sounded.
Yun Xiyu's expression changed, and he took a step forward, knelt in front of Yun Shangren, and begged for mercy with tears: "Father, you can't do this. You can't use a few broken steps and whips to convict mom."
"Yu'er, as a father, I advise you to take care of yourself." Yun Shangren finished speaking coldly and looked at Qi's mother, "Do you want to recruit someone or not?"
Mother Qi cried and said firmly: "Master, even if you beat me to death, I won't be able to admit what I haven't done."
"I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin." Yun Shangren snorted and said angrily, "Hit me hard."
The thick board fell down with a crackle, and blood soon appeared on Qi's mother's clothes.
