Chapter 38: The Closing

"Are you willing to trade your wife for your father-in-law and your father-in-law?"

Tan Bin looked up at Su Yu in disbelief, his eyes half shocked and half confused.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Your father-in-law and your father-in-law are not the murderers." Su Yu paused, and a flash of surprise flashed in Tan Bin's eyes. However, this surprise was knocked back by Su Yu's next words and disappeared.

"Your wife is."

"How is that possible?!" Tan Bin's face was pale and full of disbelief. He looked at his wife beside him. The struggle in the latter's eyes made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

How is that possible!

"Pao Yu, do you plead guilty?" Su Yu looked at Pao Yu, who was holding the baby in his arms. Although he couldn't bear it, he still asked.

"You don't know what kind of crime a civilian woman has committed?" Pao Yu struggled with her eyes. After a moment, she retracted her right hand holding the child and replied.

"Zhang San's death really has nothing to do with you?"

"It has nothing to do with it. I hope your Majesty will be aware of it and don't unjustly accuse a good person."

"Then where did the scar on your right hand come from?" Su Yu looked at her hidden right hand and asked sharply.

"Sir, my lord, that's because I was scratched by a knife in the kitchen." Tan Bin came to his senses and hurriedly explained. He remembered what Pa Yu told him at that time.

"That's nonsense, just hold out your hand."

Under Su Yu's piercing eyes, Pao Yu couldn't hold back after all. Since she couldn't hide it, there was no need to hide it. She handed the baby in her arms to the old woman and stretched out her right hand that was hidden under the baby's body.

About three inches from the wrist of his right hand toward the arm, there was an irregular scar.

"Not to mention that the shape of your scar cannot be cut with a kitchen knife. Even if you are ten months pregnant, your second child is only three months old. What kind of kitchen do you work in and what kind of vegetables do you cut!"

Su Yu's words were like enlightenment, which instantly woke Tan Bin up. He looked at the scar on Pao Yu's right hand with an expression of disbelief.

Yes, how could such a scar be caused by a kitchen knife? Although a kitchen knife is not as good as a sword in that it can blow and break hair, the cut surface should also be smooth.

"Master Zhao!" Su Yu stood up and nodded to Zhao Gongming who was standing aside.

Zhao Gongming understood and took out the earthen bowl fragment from his sleeve. The blood stains on it were still clear.

"Pao Yu, do you know this thing? Do you really have the heart to let your parents die for you?" Su Yu shouted angrily.

Staring at the fragments in Zhao Gongming's hand, Su Yu's angry voice came to his ears, and he knelt down on the ground with a bang.

She didn't want to hide anything anymore, or if her mother hadn't kept telling her, or if she hadn't considered her children, she would have never planned to hide it.

"Yes, I killed the person."

She spoke and looked at Tan Bin apologetically. The latter looked in a daze, obviously unable to accept this fact for the moment.

"Come here, take it back to the government office!" Zhao Gongming shouted loudly. Two government officials outside the house heard the sound and came over. They set up Pao Yu and were about to go out.

"Wow...woo..."

The baby's cries continued. Su Yu waved his hand, and the two government officials looked at Zhao Gongming. After the latter nodded, they let go of Pao Yu.

Pao Yu stepped forward in three steps at a time, took the child from the old woman's hand, and coaxed him hard.

After half a stick of incense had passed, the baby's cries gradually subsided, and Pao Yu placed the baby in the old woman's arms.

"Madam!" The old woman had tears in her eyes and pain in her heart.

"Aunt Zhang, please take good care of him." Pao Yu looked at the old woman, tears in her eyes, and then looked at the child in the old woman's arms. She shook her head quickly, fearing that she would never want to leave if she was too late for a second.

Seeing this, the two government officials came forward and surrounded Pao Yu, trying to take her out.

"Lady!"

A call came from the bottom of his heart, filled with pain and unwillingness, but Tan Bin came back to his senses.

There was affection in his eyes, staring at Pao Yu motionless.

"Madam, I will take the older children to wait for you."

"ah!"

One gaze and one word made Pao Yu unable to hold back any longer, his tears couldn't stop flowing out, and his cries were heartbreaking.

She regretted that she had ignored her husband and children and did something like this that caused the whole family to fall apart out of personal anger.

But now it’s too late to regret everything!

Su Yu originally wanted to tell them that the case had not yet been decided, but because of this, he decided not to tell them.

It is much easier to give someone despair than to give someone hope and then give him despair.

The only thing he could do at this moment was to secretly send out a burst of zhenqi to protect Pao Yu's inner body, so as not to cause serious injuries due to excessive sadness.

Su Yu and two government officials escorted Pao Yu out of the door. At this moment, a large number of citizens were surrounded in front of the door. Fortunately, Zhao Gongming led enough government officials to block these citizens at the outside.

All the citizens were talking about what happened to the Tan family and how such honest and kind-hearted people as the Tan couple could get into lawsuits.

A group of people pushed through the crowd, took Pao Yu with them, and headed straight for Fengtian Mansion Office.

Tan Bin didn't come with him. Their eldest son didn't know what happened just now. He needed to stay at home and explain everything to him.

Back at the government office, Zhao Gongming gave orders and had Pao Yu imprisoned. Of course, with his deliberate arrangements, the conditions in the prison were not very bad.

Just as the two of them were about to walk into the inner hall, a government official stepped forward quickly and stopped them.

"Sir, Liu Qing is back." The officer looked at the two of them and said.

"oh!"

Su Yu's eyes lit up at the same time. The former's eyes were full of expectation, hoping to hear good news.

When the two entered the house, they saw Liu Qing, with narrowed eyes, pacing back and forth anxiously. His face looked a little pale, and the mole between his eyebrows had even begun to turn white.

"Liu Qing, how is the situation?" Su Yu entered the room and spoke directly without having time to sit down.

Hearing the sound, Liu Qing turned his head subconsciously, saw the person clearly, and exhaled slowly.

Finally back!

"Sir!" Liu Qing clasped her fists and saluted the two of them.

"What are you doing?" Su Yu was surprised when he noticed the abnormality in Liu Qing's face and quickly injected a burst of energy into Liu Qing's body.

As the true energy entered his body, a warm current surged through his body. Liu Qing's face gradually returned to color, and he nodded gratefully to Su Yu.

"Sir, according to your instructions, I used the forbidden technique to read the cause and effect of life and death on Zhang San's body."

"What's the result?" Su Yu asked, looking nervous.

"He died from poisoning. A blunt blow to the back of the head is not enough to cause death." Liu Qing said.

Phew! Su Yu exhaled heavily and slumped down on the chair.

Finally!

After arresting Pao Yu, he suffered a huge psychological burden, and he was always faced with the problem of how to explain to the Paos and his wife.

Now this result is considered excellent, and it is no longer so difficult to explain it to the Paos and his wife.

He looked at Liu Qing, his eyes filled with gratitude. Regardless of any Taoist method, using forbidden techniques will cause more or less harm to people.

However, when Su Yu told Liu Qing that he needed to do this, he did not hesitate, but readily agreed.

Then, he turned to look at Zhao Gongming, their eyes met. Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Tomorrow!" After laughing, Zhao Gongming turned to the Yamen servant beside him and said.
