Chapter 34: The Truth Comes Out (The Mystery of Young Madam's Death 16)

Huaixiu saw Wu Ruier alive for the first time. She had the elegance of a lady, but also the courage and determination that ordinary women lacked.

Wearing plain clothes and bracelets, she stood quietly in the interrogation room. The first thing she said during the interrogation was, "Is my mother okay?"

After learning that Zhao was fine, she smiled.

"Where is Bai Bing?"

She shook her head, "I don't know."

"Did you know that Bai Bing has colluded with pirates?"

Wu Ruier still shook her head, "I don't know."

Even torture could not pry her mouth open.

Sometimes torture of suspects does not mean cruelty. Interrogation has its own means and methods. Cui Liang did an excellent job in this regard.

Because the matter concerned the Xie family, Cui Liang was the chief judge. The chief judge, who looked at ease, was so strict and treated all suspects, regardless of gender, the same.

"Then what do you know?"

Wu Ruier sat up with difficulty, even though she was in a mess, she still had the grace she should have.

She was calm, cautious, and helpless. She gritted her teeth and said, "I only know that I have to leave the Xie family, otherwise, either I will die or he will die."

When she meant him, she meant Xie Rong, and she slowly revealed her entangled relationship with Xie Rong.

Two years ago at a poetry meeting, Wu Rui'er "accidentally met" the talented scholar Xie Rong, and the two fell in love at first sight. It was later discovered that the so-called chance encounter was just a shocking setup.

Xie Rong needs a marriage to cover up his shortcomings.

The Xie family is a family of five grades. The person he is marrying cannot have a higher status than him. He must be able to handle it, and cannot be too low. He must take into account the Xie family's face, must be talented, have good looks, be gentle, and be kind. He must not wrong himself, and more importantly, he must be affectionate towards him. Wu Ruier is just right for all of this.

Xie Rong can be considered a polite person, and his talent is genuine. Wu Rui'er quickly fell into his gentle trap. It was not until her wedding night that she realized that underneath the appearance of a talented man, he had a terrible heart.

Xie Rong was ill due to an accident when he was young, so he was not a normal man. However, outsiders should never know this. He pretended to be a modest gentleman for twenty years and vented all his temper and unwillingness. On Wu Ruier.

Xie Rong threatened Wu Ruier that if this matter spread, her Wu family would be ruined. Although her father and brother were not close to her, her surname was Wu after all, and more importantly, she was worried about her mother.

She also persuaded him, encouraged him, and even swore in front of him that no matter what he became, she would never dislike him. He was also moved, and he wanted to be good to her, but the shame had penetrated deep into his bones and he could not control it. Himself, he beat her, scolded her, and tortured her. She was worse off than dead. She felt extremely cold towards him. In despair, she also thought about dying, but the stubbornness in her bones made her unwilling to admit defeat.

Wu Rui'er didn't know how her affair with Xie Rong was found to be heresy by Bai Bing.

"She told me that women can live in many ways in life and do not necessarily have to rely on men."

After Wu Ruier said this, she had a smile on her face, and there was a kind of despair and sadness.

"Did Bai Bing encourage you?"

"No." Wu Ruier said, "I begged her, but there is a way for me to leave without hurting grandma. Aunt Bai is deeply loved by Mr. Xie, I think she has a way."

"Go on."

Wu Ruier said, "Aunt Bai is from Yunzhou. She has a friend who makes a living in an acrobatic class, so on her birthday, she used the excuse of inviting the acrobatic class to perform in the house, brought in the purchased body, and placed it in the Buddhist hall. During the fire, Xie Mansion was in chaos, and I took the opportunity to escape under the cover of Aunt Bai."

"Where did you buy the body?"

"Tongzhou Zhu Family."

Huaixiu glanced at Jiang Ze after hearing this, and Jiang Ze nodded.

"What happens after we get out?"

Wu Ruier said, "After escaping, I have been living in a courtyard in Walan City. I originally waited for me to be buried. After the incident gradually faded away, I tried to find a way to pick up my mother-in-law. But I never thought that my mother-in-law would be taken away."

She... actually sued the Sansi Yamen. My mother has always been a weak person, but this time she tried her best to seek justice for me. How could I just walk away like this?" Wu Ruier said deeply.

Taking a breath, "So I surrender. This matter has nothing to do with my mother-in-law."

Cui Liang continued to ask, "Did Bai Bing help you find the yard?"

Wu Ruier said, "Yes."

"How do you contact Bai Bing?"

Wu Ruier said, "Since I moved into the courtyard, I have never gone out. I only waited for the news to pass. All the supplies needed in the courtyard were sent by Aunt Bai. In the past half month, she has come to visit me twice."

Cui Liang asked again, "Did she say anything or mention anything?"

Wu Ruier said, "Just comfort me."

"You really don't know anything about her?"

Wu Ruier said, "I don't know."

"What about the Xie family and his son?"

Wu Ruier paused for a moment, "I once heard my brother and Mr. Xie mention the secret transportation of leather tents by the Ministry of War at Wu's house... I knew something would happen, so I never left Xie's house after I escaped. I just wanted to

Grandma will also take her away."

Cui Liang asked again, "Where do you think Bai Bing will be now?"

Wu Ruier said, "I don't know."

"If you tell the truth, you and your mother-in-law will be punished lightly. I guarantee you this in the name of Liumen."

As expected of Cui Liang, he knew Wu Ruier's weakness and offered very tempting conditions. Wu Ruier chose to remain silent after a brief silence.

"I really don't know."

Everyone sighed.

After walking out of the interrogation room, Huaixiu and the others were silent. Changan sighed, "Actually, I feel a little sympathy for Wu Ruier. She didn't do anything wrong?"

Hu Yuzhu disagreed with Chang'an's point of view, "She reselling corpses and setting fires are all crimes."

Chang'an said, "It's Bai Bing who sells the corpses. No, no, Bai Bing is helping her. Anyway, they have extenuating circumstances."

Yuzhu snorted, "It's excusable, so why do we need laws?"

Jiang Ze asked Huaixiu, "Do you think what Wu Ruier said is the truth?"

Huaixiu looked up at the gloomy sky. Wu Rui'er was too calm and came prepared. "What she said is consistent with what we found. As for Bai Bing colluding with pirates... maybe she is true."

I don’t know, she is just a girl from a boudoir, how can someone like Bai Bing tell her such a big secret?"

Jiang Ze nodded, "Bai Bing may not say that Wu Rui'er didn't find anything at all? Do you believe it?"

Huaixiu looked at Jiang Ze and said, "I believe it." Then he strode away.

"Huaixiu, where are you going, wait for me." Chang'an made a face towards Yuzhu, "Look, Huaixiu also believes that Wu Ruier is a pitiful person."

Wu Ruier's case has really come to an end, but Xie Rui's collusion with pirates is another case.

"I just heard Wu Zhuo say that Xie Rui has already been recruited. They were dealing with a company called 'De Yuan'. The company paid a high price to buy military leather tents. However, after the incident, the company had already been sold out. I didn't expect that.

The group of pirates reacted so quickly, and they were all wiped out overnight, as if they had never appeared before."

Chang'an followed Huaixiu, chattering.

"It's just that a group of pirates are afraid that they don't have the ability to do such a thing. There are people behind the pirates who are planning all this." Huaixiu said.

Chang'an hummed, "I think so too. Deyuan Company has been established for two years and has had many private transactions with Xie Rui, but it was not discovered. If Huaixiu hadn't accidentally hit him this time, I don't know how long it would have been hidden."

, you said that Xie Rui and others are too courageous, this is a serious crime of beheading."

Huaixiu said, "Motivated by profit, I can't afford just one Xie Rui after years of reselling. There are people behind him."

Chang'an clicked his tongue twice, "If we continue the investigation like this, it will be serious. The entire court will be implicated, but fortunately, it's none of our business. We just entered the Sixth Gate and can't handle such a big case."

Huaixiu sighed after hearing this.

"You seem unhappy."

"Is there any?"

"The case was solved and you didn't even smile. You just sighed."

Huaixiu said, "I sigh because I failed to catch Hu San."

"These pirates are inherently fierce."

Huai Xiu said, "In so many years, this is the closest to the truth. If we catch Hu San, we will know the whereabouts of Brother Song and Rong Niang."

"You want to find them so bad?"

Huaixiu rolled her eyes at Chang'an and signaled her to ask questions, "But, I still have a clue."

"What is it?" Chang'an was greatly surprised.
