C17 An Accident

"Yes, I understand!" Governor looked at Yan Jingyan's angry expression and was so frightened that he jumped to his feet and said while trembling.

Yan Jingyan glanced at Governor, who was no longer paying attention to Governor on the ground. He turned around and slowly walked to Xu Yao's side.

Xu Yao was about to lose consciousness in front of him. Her bloody appearance was shocking. Yan Jingyan squatted down and looked at Xu Yao in front of him. He suddenly felt very sorry for her. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Yan Jingyan reached out and touched Xu Yao's head. He said gently, "Don't worry. I will definitely help you."

Xu Yao opened her eyes and looked at Yan Jingyan. She forced a smile at him.

"Someone, quickly find a doctor and take her away for treatment." Yan Jingyan looked at Xu Yao's pale smile and his heart suddenly tightened. He hurriedly shouted at the people behind him.

"Yes!" The Policeman behind him looked at Governor who was standing at the side with his head drooping and did not dare to raise his head. He quickly turned around and gently lifted Xu Yao who was lying on the stool and went down.

Yan Jingyan watched Xu Yao's back slowly disappear from his sight. He was very angry in his heart. Only today did he know that these officials who had never been to places he had never been before were in charge of the people like this.

Yan Jingyan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He walked to the hall and sat down. He looked at Governor and said expressionlessly, "You, go and invite Xu Yao's mother, Mrs. Xu, to your house. I want to thoroughly investigate this matter again."

He did not believe that Xu Yao would do such a thing. Although they had not known each other for long, he was sure that she would not do such a thing. She was a very kind girl, so how could she poison a child?

"Yes! The little one will do it now!" Governor looked at Yan Jingyan, who was sitting in the hall, and quickly lowered his head to respond.

Governor looked at Yan Jingyan's gloomy face, and his heart was filled with fear. He was afraid that he would move his head away. Governor had always wondered how Xu Yao, a commoner, got involved with the Emperor. Now, he was restless. No one expected that the Emperor would blame him and not know what would happen.

Very quickly, Policeman brought Xu Yao's mother, Mrs. Xu, from Xu Yao's shabby house and brought her to Governor's residence. At this time, Yan Jingyan was still sitting at the table drinking tea.

"Master! Mrs. Xu is here!" Governor waited for Mrs. Xu to arrive and quickly ran into the door. He walked in front of Yan Jingyan and said respectfully.

When Yan Jingyan heard Governor's words, he quickly said, "Then let her in quickly!" Yan Jingyan picked up the teacup on the table and poured a cup of water on the seat opposite him.

Mrs. Xu followed the servant's orders and came in front of Yan Jingyan and said, "Hey, you... you are not..."

Mrs. Xu looked at Yan Jingyan more and more familiar. She did not expect him to be in charge of this matter. Doesn't that mean her daughter can be saved? Mrs. Xu thought excitedly in her heart.

"That's right, it's me! Come and sit and tell me about what happened that day so that I can save Xu Yao!" Yan Jingyan stretched out his hand and looked at the seat opposite him. He gestured for Mrs. Xu to sit down and talk slowly.

Mrs. Xu nodded and sat on the stool. She began to recount what happened that day. "Yao and I sold the macaque peaches she planted on the street that day. We passed by a little beggar who was almost starving. Yao was naturally kind and could not bear to watch her starve so she washed a few macaque peaches and handed them to her. Who would have thought that the little beggar would actually die! Then Mrs. Zhang brought Governor to our house and took Yao away..." Mrs. Xu thought of her pitiful and innocent daughter and felt her heart ache. As she spoke, she wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves.

"Mrs. Zhang? Who is she?" Yan Jingyan immediately asked when he heard Mrs. Xu's words.

Mrs. Xu looked up at Yan Jingyan helplessly and said, "There is a woman in our village who has a conflict with our family. Every time she deliberately makes things difficult for us..."

Mrs. Zhang always had bad intentions towards the mother and daughter in the village and often caused the mother and daughter to be unable to eat or sleep.

"Right. Lord, how is my daughter? "How is Yao? Did Governor do anything to her? "She is innocent. She has been kind since she was young. It is impossible for her to do those things." Mrs. Xu suddenly remembered that she did not see Xu Yao come out for so long. She felt that something must have happened to her, so she was very anxious.

Yan Jingyan looked at Mrs. Xu's anxious expression and paused for a moment, "Madam, don't worry. Xu Yao is fine now. We will finish the case properly and clear up the matter before she can come back."

Yan Jingyan did not dare to tell Mrs. Xu that Xu Yao had just been tortured and was now lying on the bed, on the verge of death, being treated by the husbands. He was afraid that Mrs. Xu would not be able to bear this and would not be able to continue the trial to save Xu Yao.

"That's good, that's good!" Mrs. Xu heard that her daughter was fine and patted her chest and said with a smile.

The second trial.

Yan Jingyan had put a lot of effort to help Xu Yao clear her name.

Through the investigation of the passers-by at the corner of the street, Yan Jingyan checked many witnesses. Finally, he found a small vendor selling sesame cakes who had been watching the whole process from the corner of the street.

"Master, I was selling sesame cakes on the other side of the street. The business was not good, so I had been working hard. The fruits that Xu Yao sold were indeed very strange. Moreover, she was beautiful, so she kept looking at them. During the process, I saw a pair of mother and daughter beggars walking over. The little girl seemed very hungry and wanted to eat. Xu Yao looked very distressed and took a few fruits for her to eat. Her mother took the fruits and squatted in the corner with the little girl to eat. Then the little girl finished eating and went to sleep under the sun. " The peddler walked into the office and saw Yan Jingyan sitting in the hall. He knelt down and told Yan Jingyan everything he saw that day.

Yan Jingyan thought for a while and asked, "When did you see the little girl die?"

The vendor scratched his head and tried to recall Yan Jingyan's question.

"I don't know. I stayed in front of the pancake stall and didn't leave. I saw the girl slept for a long time. She was still alive after she woke up. Her mother took her away." The peddler looked at Yan Jingyan and answered respectfully.

After Yan Jingyan heard the peddler's words, he raised his head and looked coldly at Governor. "Then what else do you have to say now? "What you did was to hurt an innocent civilian. Is it your way of reporting a case?"

Governor was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. "I know I was wrong! I know my mistake! Please give me another chance. I will report this case with all my strength in the future!"

Yan Jingyan snorted coldly and walked past him. He slowly came in front of Mrs. Zhang and looked at her. "What about you?"

Mrs. Zhang heard the voice coming from above. She was so scared that she stuttered and said, "The woman is just here to testify. The peasant woman... Mrs. Zhang still kept her head down to defend herself. She did not notice Yan Jingyan's disgusted expression at all.

" You are stubborn and stubborn. Come and punish 50 men with the staff! " Yan Jingyan turned around and ignored Mrs. Zhang after he finished speaking.

A group of Policeman walked over and dragged Mrs. Zhang, who was shouting, down to execute her.
