Chapter 410: Master Yan
So, when the trial came, Lord Lu got the confession he needed without any effort.
Moreover, the adoptive mother readily confessed that the Third Master Yan gave her money to buy Mei Niang's life and wanted to put the blame on Mi Lao Er!
The people who came to watch the fun were furious again!
Even the death of the eldest son of the Mao family after being fed aphrodisiac was not so shocking.
"Oh my, Third Master Yan looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to be so evil!"
"That's right. He even testified to the He family that Master Mi had damaged the He family's treasure!"
"Then are the Yan family and the He family working together to not only frame the Mi family, but also kill the second son of the Mi family?"
"Bah! They are all from the same nest, none of them is good!"
"The Yan family is more ruthless than the He family! They are going after people's lives."
"Hey! Aren't the routines the same? They're all frame-ups."
"Oh my god, one of them framed Mr. Mi and caused him to lose his family business. The other one framed the young master of the Mi family. What are they doing..."
"Tsk tsk! You're leaving no chance for the Mi family to survive."
Mr. Mi narrowed his eyes: There is such a thing? The Yan family wants to kill my son!
Mrs. Mi: Yan family, haha, okay! I didn’t want to fight to the death, but now…
Mi Lao Er: What? Who wants to harm me? I have no grudge against Yan's third son.
Kaiyang's eyebrows twitched. The third son of the Yan family, huh? I remember that.
Lord Lu was dumbfounded. You are not telling the truth. I didn’t ask you this.
The adoptive mother gave up resisting completely. She was destined to be sentenced to death anyway, so there was no need for her to cover up for others. What's more, the third son of the Yan family had his people destroy her courtyard.
He even beat her. She is a vengeful person!
If we have to die, let’s die together!
She just kept talking without stopping and no one could stop her.
No matter what Lord Lu hinted or said explicitly, she had to speak her mind.
Lord Lu's good mood was ruined, but with so many eyes watching him, he couldn't force the suspect to shut up.
The adoptive mother told her clearly where the third son of the Yan family was, how much money she had given her, the money she had paid to buy Mei Niang's life, and what effect she wanted to achieve.
As soon as you hear it, you know it must be true.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to describe it in such detail.
Lord Lu is in a dilemma!
The Yan family has many sons and daughters who are officials in the court. He, a small local official, cannot afford to offend them!
He had to force himself to remain calm!
In front of the people, he also has to maintain his dignity as a senior official.
The third son of the Yan family left after testifying for the He family. He didn't want to stay any longer.
It was obvious that the Mi family had managed to get away, and he was very unhappy.
So, he went home early.
The head of the He family and He Lao Er, who were watching the scene, were still there. They were shocked when they heard about Third Master Yan's plan to buy his life to frame Mi Lao Er.
Now that it has been exposed in public, there is no way to stop it.
He quickly sent someone to notify the Yan family, asking them to find a way to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Mr. Mi stood up suddenly. People were planning to kill his son, how could he let it go?
Mrs. Mi also stood up by holding the armrest of the chair. She wanted to seek justice for her son.
The others followed them to the court.
Lord Lu was just about to end the trial quickly when he heard the sound of drums beating at the door and people crying out for justice.
Lord Lu really wanted to cover his ears. What happened today?
These cases keep popping up one after another, and he is a little overwhelmed.
Now that the drum has sounded, the court must continue.
Lord Lu resigned himself to his fate and ordered the bailiff to bring the drummer to the court.
The Mi family members came in in a mighty procession and knelt on the ground.
Lord Lu looked numb: I knew I couldn’t avoid it.
Master Mi said with a trembling but firm voice:
"Sir, I am suing the third son of the Yan family for trying to kill my second son of the Mi family. Please arrest the third son of the Yan family and bring him to justice for my son."
Lord Lu advised, "This... is just the words of the foster mother. We need to verify whether it is true. Master Mi, why don't you go back and wait for the news?"
Madam Mi: "Just now she said that when Master Yan gave her the money, there were several men from the courtyard present. Haven't they been arrested?
Then you can bring those people here for questioning now, and you will know the truth immediately!"
Lord Lu's face was gloomy: "Mrs. Mi, are you going to teach me how to do things?"
He wants to use his power to oppress others!
Mrs. Mi said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Please understand my feelings as a mother. No matter who wants my son's life, I am determined to fight him to the death."
I am not afraid even if you are an official, let alone the Yan family, she must have justice.
Lord Lu was very angry. He didn't expect that a merchant would dare to challenge him.
But at this moment he could not show favoritism towards the Yan family, although he really wanted to do so.
But looking at the people watching, he could only swallow his anger.
Lord Lu reluctantly sent people to bring the suspects out for trial one by one.
Unexpectedly, these people confessed readily and admitted that it was indeed the third son of the Yan family who paid money to frame the second son of the Mi family.
Common people:
"Look, so many people have proved that it was the Yan family who did it!"
"Oh my, the Yan family is in big trouble now."
"Rich people don't take human life seriously."
"It's obvious that they are experienced. I wonder how many people they have harmed in this way!"
"That's right. If you don't like someone, can you just spend some money to frame them and put them in jail?"
At this point, Lord Lu could only send someone to the Yan family to arrest the person.
He said, "Summon the third son of the Yan family."
The head of the Yan family could not calm down for a long time after meeting the person sent by the He family to tip off the family.
He could not believe that his third son could be so heartless to the Mi family!
The Mi family's child and his own son grew up together when they were young. Even if they can no longer play together after growing up, he cannot turn against them and kill them all.
What's more, they have a special relationship with the Mi family. Who allowed him to take action against the Mi family!
And the He family obviously knows about it as well, but they’re hiding it from him, right?
He asked someone to call the third brother over, wanting to ask him about the matter in detail.
As a result, before the third brother arrived, the yamen runner who came to summon him arrived first.
Master Yan San was "invited" away by the yamen runners on his way to his father's study.
After receiving instructions from the adult, the bailiff told him the whole story on the way to the yamen.
Young Master Yan San was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that his transaction would be exposed to the public so quickly.
However, he quickly calmed down.
When he arrived at the lobby, Young Master Yan did not seem to be flustered at all. He greeted the Mi couple very politely. Unfortunately, no one in the Mi family treated him well.
He didn't care. He was just doing it for others to see. He just had to be polite.
Lord Lu asked according to the procedure:
"Third Master Yan, how do you explain the suspect's confession that you asked her to frame Second Master Mi?"
