To ask for these clues, of course it would be better for the government to come forward.
Therefore, Zelan went to ask his father to raise the case and re-investigate it.
On that day, the case became an unsolved case and had not yet been closed, so new clues were brought forward for investigation, which was reasonable and legal.
The emperor agreed, and the case was returned to the Jingzhao Mansion for retrial. The prince would assist in handling the case and could sit in the court to observe.
Yu Wenhao mentioned this case in court, but he did not watch Huang Quan's reaction to avoid arousing Huang Quan's vigilance, so he privately asked the chief minister to keep an eye on Huang Quan to see what he would do when he heard about the case.
What will be the reaction?
Huang Quan was stunned for a moment when he heard that the case would be re-investigated, but he soon returned to normal.
The chief assistant couldn't find any clues for the time being, because the long-ago case had been remanded for investigation, and he was once a person involved in the case, so it was normal for him to look slightly stunned.
However, when the emperor said that the reason why he sent the case back for investigation was because there was a thief hiding on the slope at the time, he saw what happened, but he never dared to say anything because he was afraid of getting into trouble.
It was not until the day before yesterday that this man fell seriously ill and went to Jingzhao Mansion to report the crime, saying that he saw the murder of Merchant Wu's daughter that day, but it was dark at that time and he could not see the appearance of the murderer.
When the emperor said this, Huang Quan's expression changed several times, which was all noticed by the chief assistant.
The chief assistant informed the emperor and the prince of Huang Quan's reaction, and the prince calmly said, "The fish bit the hook."
Someone saw Wu Wen being killed, so of course it was a fiction, and the prince wanted to use a trick to force Huang Quan to reveal his flaws.
Because many years have passed since this case, it is difficult to re-investigate. Many evidences have long been destroyed, and it is impossible to re-examine the body. Only the confessions of all parties are left, which cannot be reconciled and the facts cannot be restored.
The best way is for the murderer to reveal his flaws himself.
As for the Jingzhao Mansion, after asking Wu Wen's parents and maids for confirmation, they learned that Wu Wen had given away a lot of valuables, but they didn't know who they were given to.
They didn't mention it at first because they didn't know it. At that time, they couldn't accept the fact that their daughter died tragically.
It wasn't until more than a year after Wu Wen's death that her parents slowly recovered from the pain and began to sort out the things behind her.
When I was sorting it out, I discovered that many of her valuable jewelry were missing. At that time, I thought that the servants had stolen it and sold it. I even beat the servants to make them confess, but everyone said that they were innocent.
The maid who originally served Wu Wen was sold to Qinlou because of her inability to protect her master. They found the maid back and asked if she had been stolen and sold.
The maid swore that she had not stolen anything. She only said that when the young lady was still alive, the jewelry was always lost one by one. After careful questioning, the maid said that every time the young lady went out to meet Huang Quan, she always said that she had lost something.
And what was lost was all valuable.
At that time, Huang Quan had already fallen in love with Tan Hua Lang and married a daughter of the Chu family. When Wu Wen died, Huang Quan was also very sad and did not want to doubt him, so he naturally did not ask.
Maybe the jewelry was really lost.
It doesn't matter whether you can convince yourself with this statement. Your daughter's life is gone, so why should you care about the things outside of you?
This was what they were thinking at the time, and they hid the matter and did not go to the government office to talk about it.
After hearing what the Wu family's parents said, King Qi slammed the table angrily, "You knew about this back then. If you had gone to the government office to inform the people, the case would have been solved long ago."
But Mr. Wu still said angrily: "Didn't we already catch the murderer back then?
But the government let him go, and he is still at large, and the murderer has not been caught, so what do those jewelry count for?"
"Stupid, ignorant..." After King Qi scolded them, he asked someone to send them back first. King Qi, who had been handling the case for more than ten years, had basically settled on the case.
The King of Qi reported the matter to the prince, who formally implemented the fisherman plan.
An uninvited guest came to Huang Shilang's residence that day, saying that he wanted to meet Huang Shilang. If he couldn't meet him, he would bear the consequences.
Huang Quan was already disturbed by the case. Hearing the man's loud tone, his heart beat wildly, and finally he met this man.
This uninvited guest looked pale, as if he was ill, and was very weak, but extremely arrogant. After seeing Huang Quan, he wanted to talk to Huang Quan alone and drive all the servants out.
Huang Quan raised his hand and asked the servant to exit. The man sat down and looked at him and said slowly: "Sir Huang, you may have never seen this villain, but I have seen Master Huang's appearance for more than ten years and cannot forget it.
Ah, after all we have known each other for so many years, today I am sick and have no money for medical treatment. I want to ask Mr. Huang for some medical expenses. I guess Mr. Huang is now a minister and has only 50,000 taels of silver at his disposal. "
