This time, Zhang Xin didn't waste any time because Ye Yulin had already been sent to the government office for interrogation by Su Jianye on the charge of attempting to assassinate him. Originally, this lawsuit wasn't a big deal in this chaotic world, but it was different this time because Ye Yulin had assassinated Su Jianye. Although Su Jianye wasn't someone everyone in Jinyang could kill, he was still the target of hatred. Hence, Ye Yulin's assassination case became the talk of the streets in Jinyang City.
On the day of Ye Yulin's interrogation, Yang Junru, Yang Ruyan, and Zhang Xin spent a lot of effort to squeeze in. The chief judge was called Wei Yao. He was originally Li Shimin's subordinate, but recently, he was sent to temporarily take charge of Jinyang County because of Li Shimin's preparations to raise an army. Yang Junru and the others waited for another fifteen minutes before Wei Yao finally appeared. After sitting down, he did not put on an official's airs like Yang Junru often saw on TV. Instead, he whispered to the person closest to him to bring the prisoner up.
The first time she saw Ye Yulin, Yang Junru's heart suddenly felt like it was being grabbed. She looked at Ye Yulin with her eyes wide open. She looked at him, who was covered in blood but still maintained his usual posture. She listened to the sound of the heavy shackles on his body. The anger that she had not felt for a long time suddenly rose. She could not help but clench her fists and try her best not to rush out. Yang Ruyan and Zhang Xin, who were beside him, were also furious. They tried their best to restrain themselves. Ye Yulin glanced at the crowd. The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, as if all the voices had been frozen by the cold air emitted from his body. Seeing Yang Junru and the other two, he was still expressionless. He just quietly walked to the hall and stood upright. A yamen official wanted him to kneel down, but he only glanced at that person and that person cowered.
Wei Yao waved his hand and said,"Forget it, let him stand."”He turned to Ye Yulin and said with a gentle expression,""Young Master Su Jianye accused you of attempting to assassinate him. Do you admit it?”
Ye Yulin did not answer. "Young Master Su Jianye said that you killed more than ten of his servants during the assassination attempt. Do you admit it?" Wei Yao asked again.”
Ye Yulin still did not answer. "According to the law, killing people is a punishment. If you don't answer, it means you're tacitly admitting it." Aren't you going to defend yourself?"
Ye Yulin still did not speak. Yang Ruyan couldn't help but rush up and say,""If Su Jianye hadn't kidnapped my sister first, why would my big brother go and find trouble with him?”
Yang Junru sighed slightly. Yang Ruyan's words were equivalent to confirming Ye Yulin's crime. He could not deny it even if he wanted to. Ye Yulin probably didn't want to get into this kind of trouble, so he didn't say anything. Zhang Xin obviously thought of this too, but it was too late to stop Yang Ruyan. He could only stand up and say,"Please don't take offense. Children don't know what to say.”"Murder is a capital crime. How can you speak nonsense?!"!”
Yang Ruyan immediately came to his senses and retreated with a red face. A voice came from the side." Sigh, as the saying goes, children's words have no fear. Besides, children don't lie.”
Yang Junru didn't move. Yang Ruyan and Zhang Xin turned around at the same time and saw a young man with a graceful demeanor strolling in leisurely. There were a few people in front of him opening the way for him. Wei Yao stood up and bowed slightly.""So it's Young Master Su. Didn't they say that Young Master Su didn't have to come?”
"Since I have nothing else to do, why don't I come over and watch this villain go on trial?" Su Jianye said with a smile.”
"Since that's the case, please sit in the hall and take your time, Young Master Su," Wei Yao said. Men, take a seat!"
Su Jianye didn't stand on ceremony. After a bailiff brought out a chair and arranged it, he sat down. Wei Yao bowed slightly, sat down, and said to Su Jianye,"At present, the criminal has not confessed. I guess he might still be lucky and think that his crimes are unknown. May I ask Young Master Su, can you repeat the situation that day?”
"Of course," Su Jianye replied. This thief has committed a heinous crime. That day, he sneaked into my house and used the name of my friend to do something to my beloved concubine. Fortunately, my beloved concubine was alert and discovered his evil intentions in time. She informed me and called the guards in the house to arrest him for trial. Who knew that the thief's martial arts were not bad and injured more than ten of my people. Fortunately, an expert intervened and captured him. Please uphold justice for the innocent guard who died in my residence.”
Yang Ruyan couldn't hold it in anymore. This time, Zhang Xin reacted quickly and grabbed him, covering his mouth. Yang Ruyan struggled a few times but failed to break free. Yang Junru clenched her fists even tighter.
Ye Yulin remained silent. He didn't even look at Su Jianye. He just looked straight ahead, and no one knew what he was thinking. Wei Yao pondered for a moment and said,"According to Young Master Su, the criminal is indeed guilty of a heinous crime and should be beheaded."?”"Do you have anything else to say?" he asked Ye Yulin. If not, he would draw a mark on the offering paper.”As he spoke, he handed the paper he had just written to the person beside him and gestured for him to pass it to Ye Yulin. Yang Junru, who was too angry, ignored this small detail.
Ye Yulin didn't take the offering paper, nor did he look at anyone. He just stood there coldly, as if nothing around him existed. The air seemed to have frozen, and the atmosphere was frighteningly silent.
Yang Junru couldn't hold it in any longer. She walked forward and stood beside Ye Yulin. She raised her head and said to Wei Yao,"Milord, according to Su Jianye's words, this person should die, but according to the truth, the one who should die is Su Jianye. Over the years, Su Jianye had used all sorts of methods to abduct the women he had taken a liking to to satisfy his selfish desires. He had broken up countless families and even persecuted many people to death. Our sister was kidnapped by him, and our big brother went to look for her whereabouts. In the end, he was surrounded. If it wasn't for our big brother's real martial arts, I'm afraid we would have seen his corpse today. But now, Su Jianye has turned the tables and framed my big brother. If the lord succumbs to his tyrannical power and sentences my big brother to death, then we will use everything we have to seek justice for my big brother and make Su Jianye pay with his blood!! And you, you will not be able to be an official in peace. You will also become Su Jianye's sacrificial lamb!!”
These words were spoken with great force, and everyone was shocked. Ye Yulin's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Junru, who had always been indifferent, so excited. Yang Ruyan also stood forward to show his support for Yang Junru.
"Hmph!" Su Jianye sneered. What a joke! You are accomplices to begin with. Now that you have walked into the trap, it saves this young master's effort. Lord Wei, please quickly get someone to capture them all so that you can eliminate the big problem in your heart.”
Yang Junru glanced at him contemptuously and said to Wei Yao,""You can arrest us, but don't think that this matter will end here. If you were of value to Su Jianye now, he would still be polite to you. But when you were no longer of any use to him, you would become his target. You're just a chess piece. Why do you have to risk your life for this kind of person?!”
"Do you think you can drive a wedge between Lord Wei and me with just a few words?" Su Jianye asked coldly.”
Wei Yao didn't say anything, as if he was considering something. After a long while, he said,"There are still many things that are unclear about this case. We'll try again another day." Let's call it a day. Take the prisoner away and guard him properly.”
The few of them were stunned at the same time. Su Jianye was a little annoyed and seemed to be about to flare up. After thinking for a while, he said,"Since that's the case, forget it. I'll let you live for a few more days.”After saying that, she glared at Wei Yao and left. Yang Junru looked at Wei Yao in surprise. This official seemed different!!
She and Yang Ruyan watched helplessly as Ye Yulin was taken away. From the beginning to the end, Ye Yulin did not say a word. His calmness and indifference made the others discuss.
When Ye Yulin went back to prison, Zhang Xin began to run around again, trying to find the best solution. Meanwhile, Yang Junru and her brother returned to the inn, thinking of ways to save Ye Yulin and Yun Xiaoxiao.
