Zhao He sat on the stool and said: "Zhou Yu's wife came to the imperial city. Yesterday she went to the Yamen to accuse the eldest lady of killing Zhou Yu. Now the Yamen people are still digging up Zhou Yu's body in the mass grave!"
"How did she know?"
Liu Ping pretended to be shocked.
Zhao He shook his head and said worriedly: "I'm afraid you spilled the beans that day and someone listened to you."
Liu Ping said: "How is it possible? I just said that a young lady killed someone. Even if someone listened, that person would not know that the body was buried in a mass grave by us!"
Liu Ping's heart was beating loudly, but he pretended to be calm, for fear that Zhao He would see something.
He knew that Zhou Yu's wife must have been found by Vice General Wen.
Zhao He thought for a while and felt that Liu Ping was right.
Liu Ping only said a little bit. If he had spilled the beans that day and someone had heard him, that person would not have known so clearly.
"Then who do you think spread the news?"
Liu Ping breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed his saliva and said, "We soldiers have been with the general through life and death, so we won't leak it."
Zhao He nodded and said: "That's right, I guess it was leaked from the mouths of those servants."
In the study, Song Heng sat on the chair with a solemn expression. Shen Wan sat on his lower left hand. Opposite Shen Wan sat Shen Ming. When he took office today, he heard about Zhou Wang's complaint to the Yamen.
Son, he hurried over after getting off work.
Song Ziyu stood in the room uneasily.
Song Heng was silent for a long time, then looked at Song Ziyu and said: "If someone from the Yamen comes to arrest someone, just admit the crime!"
It is true that Ziyu killed Zhou Yu. If people from the Yamen dig up Zhou Yu's body, they will definitely take Ziyu to interrogation.
This matter was not simply leaked. There was someone behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could Zhou Yu's wife, who was thousands of miles away, know about it?
As long as the person who leaked it testifies, even if she doesn't admit it at first, she will be slapped in the face.
"Dad, if my daughter admits her crime, it will be the end of her!"
That would mean going to jail, and maybe she would pay Zhou Yu with her life.
Shen Ming frowned and said: "Since someone has already leaked it, even if you deny it, the yamen only need to find the person who leaked the matter to testify, and you have no way to argue.
What's more, this matter is not simple, I'm afraid someone is planning it behind the scenes and went to the King of Zhou to come to the imperial city to file a complaint."
"Then, then..." Song Ziyu suddenly thought of a way, "I have thought of a way. Dad, please find someone to go to the Yamen to confess. Just say that Zhou Yu was killed by him. As long as he confesses, the Yamen can close the case.
I won’t check further.”
Song Heng's face was covered with a layer of frost. In order to protect her, he had done something that went against his own principles and conscience. Now, she still wanted him to find someone to blame her?
Isn’t the life of others not life?
Why should others risk their lives to pay for the crime she committed?
Song Heng took a deep breath, looked at Song Ziyu with a disappointed face and said: "Ziyu, people have to be responsible for what they have done. Others cannot take responsibility for you."
Song Ziyu cried: "But I already know I was wrong!"
"General" Butler Yun appeared outside the door with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong?"
Song Heng had a bad premonition.
Butler Yun glanced at the eldest lady in the room and said, "Someone from the Yamen has come, saying that they want to summon the eldest lady to the Yamen for questioning."
"I won't go, I won't go..." Song Ziyu covered her ears and roared hysterically.
Shen Wan frowned and asked, "Did you find Zhou Yu's body?"
Butler Yun nodded and said: "Captain Sun from the Yamen also quietly told me that he found a bag of silver from Zhou Yu's clothes. There was also a jade character embroidered on the cloth wrapping the silver."
The people in the yamen should not have disclosed this matter to them.
But Capt. Sun admired the general, so he secretly told him the matter so that they could be mentally prepared.
Song Heng put his hand on his forehead. At first, he only asked Zhang San and others to deal with the body, but he forgot about the money.
Song Ziyu collapsed on the ground. At first, she just found a piece of cloth to wrap the silver, but she didn't expect that her own words were embroidered on it.
There is no doubt that the piece of cloth has now become evidence.
"Father, mother, uncle, you are so powerful, you can definitely help me clear my name and save me, right?"
Song Ziyu asked crying.
Song Heng and Shen Ming both lowered their heads. Shen Wan stood up, walked to Song Ziyu, and reached out to help her.
"You go to the Yamen first. Don't worry, Mom will find a way to save you."
Even if Song Ziyu cannot be spared from prison, at least her life must be saved.
