Chapter 103 Arresting the Wrong Person

Finally, Mo Mo shouted, "Miss, I was wronged. I was anxious to find you when I first arrived in Yuanyang County. I didn't even know Mr. Cao. How could he have killed him?"

After Mo Mo finished speaking, perhaps the wound on his back had split open and blood oozed out.

Yun Shu said, "Master Zhu, why don't you call the housekeeper over to see if the two young masters she mentioned have my maids?"

Magistrate Zhu said, "Call Steward Cao."

Then he looked at Chu Beili and scolded: "Why don't you kneel?"

He was the first person that Butler Cao recognized that day.

Now it seems that Miss Xie's maid was captured because of him.

Fortunately, Miss Xie was sensible and provided reason and evidence.

It’s all Mr. Zhang’s fault.

This man is so bold that he still refuses to kneel when he sees me.

Chu Beili said, "I have a jade pendant. Please take a look at it, Magistrate Zhu."

He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and asked his servant to present it to Magistrate Zhu.

After reading it, County Magistrate Zhu was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Who is this person and how come he has the jade pendant of Li Jingming, the censor of Dingzhou.

Li Jingming is well-known for his impartiality, so why would he give this kid a jade pendant?

Chu Beili asked, "That day, I went with a brother to discuss the method of brewing wine with Butler Cao. I promise that Butler Cao was fine when I left. Besides, the innkeeper and the waiter were all fine that night, which proves that I did not go out that night."

Magistrate Zhu said, "Please forgive my ignorance. I didn't know you were a friend of Lord Li. Please wait for a moment, Mr. Zhang."

He obviously arrested the wrong person. How could Lord Li Jingming's friend kill someone?

Besides, both of them said they had an alibi.

How should I step down later?

After a while, Butler Cao arrived.

Seeing Chu Beili here, he quickly knelt down in front of County Magistrate Zhu and said, "That afternoon, the master met him and another young master."

He must have seen it right.

Yun Shu asked, "Does the other young master look like this?"

After saying that, she pointed at Mo Mo, who was also dressed as a man at this moment.

Butler Cao looked at Mo Mo carefully and felt that he was not like the young man who traveled with him that day.

The young man was fair-skinned and had big, bright eyes, unlike the one in front of him who had single eyelids.

Butler Cao shook his head and said, "No, the young man was taller that day."

It must be taller than this one.

Yun Shu said, "County Magistrate Zhu, Housekeeper Cao said that she was not my maid. This should prove that what she said is true, right?"

County Magistrate Zhu certainly didn't dare to embarrass Yun Shu, and hurriedly apologized, saying, "He gave us a false report that day, which led to us arresting the wrong person and harming innocent people. I'm sorry, Miss Xie."

Yun Shu said softly, "Just check it out."

County Magistrate Zhu felt fortunate at this moment. Fortunately, he had been busy with Xie Shuping's worship and tomb sweeping in the past two days and did not torture the two men.

At the moment, it seems that he can't afford to offend anyone.

Magistrate Zhu said, "I have interrogated you clearly and neither of you has any motive to kill."

Chu Beili said, "I was forced to spend a day in jail because of this. County Magistrate, please quickly catch the real culprit. I want to see who has harmed me."

County Magistrate Zhu hurriedly said, "Of course, of course."

"Then I'll follow you to his house."

County Magistrate Zhu did not dare to refuse Chu Beili's request.

This person is so enthusiastic even though he doesn't blame me. It seems that he is a gentleman who is easy to get along with.

He is worthy of being Li Jingming’s friend.

Everyone went to Cao Minsheng's house to check for clues. Seeing signs of movement in the house, County Magistrate Zhu asked, "Didn't we say that we must protect the scene and no one can enter or leave?"

Who is so diligent to clean the place?

This person is definitely a suspect.

Housekeeper Cao hurriedly replied, "Yesterday, the young master came to the bedroom to look for the master and messed up the room, so I ordered the maid to tidy it up briefly, and it was definitely not cleaned."

Today I offended Magistrate Zhu, who arrested the wrong person and almost caused a death.

Butler Cao thinks that we should cooperate well today.

Magistrate Zhu asked, "Didn't they say that no one can come in or out? You have children coming in, maids coming in to clean, how many people are there?"

Some clues were also destroyed.

Butler Cao knelt down and explained: "Yesterday I had ordered people to guard the master's room, but I ignored the window at the back. The young master climbed in from the back."

The young master had a deep affection for Master Cao. As soon as he crawled in, he cried and shouted for his father, asking why his father was not there.

The crying made Butler Cao's eyes well up with tears.

On weekdays, Mr. Cao loves his youngest son the most.

Butler Cao felt his heart bleeding as he never expected that the father and son would never meet again.

I wish it was me who died.

At this moment, a crying voice suddenly came from outside: "Dad, the unfilial son is back."

The unfilial son, could it be Cao Bing, the eldest son born to Mr. Cao and his ex-wife?

He ran away from home some time ago, and probably came back after hearing the news of Mr. Cao's death.

Cao Bing was dressed in tattered clothes, had a sallow complexion and messy hair. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest or groomed himself in the past few days.

Cao Bing was seen kneeling on the ground and kowtowed continuously. His father was still fine when he left.

Why do we have to meet again in different places?

She kept saying that she was unfilial. If she hadn't been angry with her father and run away from home, would her father have died?

Cao Bing blamed himself for Cao Min's death, thinking it was his fault, and angered his father to death.

When Guo Wanwan heard from the servants that Cao Bing had returned, she came over in mourning clothes and accused Cao Bing, saying, "How dare you come back?"

After that, he turned to Magistrate Zhu and kowtowed, saying, "Please, sir, arrest Cao Bing. He must have harmed the master."

Why did Guo Wanwan say this? Cao Bing really harmed her father.

Guo Wanwan continued, "Since I got married to the master, Cao Bing has been causing trouble. Especially after Kun Kun was born, Cao Bing tried to kill Kun Kun several times but failed. He was reprimanded by the master. But what did this beast say? Butler Cao, you tell everyone."

Butler Cao, who was called out by name, said tremblingly: "The eldest young master said that one day, he will kill the old master, his wife and the young master with his own hands."

No one expected that Cao Bing was such a cruel person.

Yunshu brought Zhuzhu and Momo back to their residence. They did not follow County Magistrate Zhu to Cao's house, but came back directly to help Momo heal his wounds.

If the wound doesn't heal for several days, it will be more susceptible to infection.

Xie Jian had just come back from outside and brought some candied haws for Yun Shu to eat.

When I saw Momo coming back, I was a little bit hesitant to recognize him. It seemed that Momo was injured and was recuperating somewhere else.

Yunshu, the maid, is worth buying. She is willing to sacrifice her life for her master at the critical moment. Who else but Momo would do that?

It’s so worth it.

Yunshu didn’t like eating candied haws at first, but Zhou Yuqing liked it at the beginning, and Yunshu also ate it a few times.

I guess Xie Jian saw it and thought he liked eating candied haws.

Taking the candied haws, Yun Shu thanked him, "Thank you, cousin."

Thank you for your care along the way. It turns out that there are good people in the Xie family. She was too extreme before.

Xie Jian said, "You called me brother, why should I thank you? Eat quickly, it's still hot."
