Chapter 135 - 135:  133: Unexpected Change – Sisi Anxiously Seeks a Way Out

“Sun Ergou? Sun Ergou, Sun…”

Liu Sisi had some impression of this name, but couldn’t remember where she had heard it.

“I know Sun Ergou. He’s the head chef at Heji Restaurant. In the past, when Ye Lei and I couldn’t sell our game, we’d always send it to Heji Restaurant. But Sun Ergou is very strict, always lowering the price and forcing us to sell. We would only go there when we really couldn’t sell our game.”

“Ah! I remember now! So it’s him! I know the reason he’s framing Ye Lei now.”

Liu Sisi suddenly realized!

She then explained to everyone, and finally, she angrily cursed, “It’s been so long since I’ve seen any movement from him, I thought he was scared. I didn’t expect him to be so ruthless.”

“Don’t worry! Tomorrow morning, when the court opens, we will present all the evidence and there will be a verdict.” Nan Tianzong comforted her.

“I hope so!”

Liu Sisi was still worried, always feeling that something unexpected would happen.

The next day, everyone went to the county government office again, but they couldn’t see Di Yelei. They had no choice but to go back and sit in the wine-house diagonally opposite the government office, lost in their own thoughts.

“Huh? Look over there!”

Zhang Peng suddenly pointed to two figures in front of the county government office and shouted.

It was actually Elderly Mr. Di!

He had come to the county with Di Cheng’s company, which really surprised Liu Sisi. Naturally, everyone told Elderly Mr. Di about the progress of the case and comforted him.

Elderly Mr. Di was old and weak and had just recovered from a major illness, so he looked very exhausted. Upon arriving in the inn, he went straight to sleep.

“Grandfather was insisting on coming to the county yesterday, but the family did not let him. I secretly carried him to the small town and we rested under someone’s eaves for the night. This morning, we finally managed to catch a carriage to the county station. We didn’t know the directions to the county government office, so we asked our way here.” Di Cheng spoke with a simple smile, his words downplaying the situation.

The corners of Liu Sisi’s eyes were dry.

The child made it sound so simple, carrying an old man so far, not complaining about the hardship or fatigue, and indeed not like the people from the old house.

“Third Aunt knows your hardships… Go rest!”

Liu Sisi whispered softly, “It’s easy to add flowers on top of the embroidered silk, but much harder to deliver coal in the snow. Di Cheng, I remember your kindness.”

“Third Aunt, you’re too considerate. Among all the brothers, the one Third Uncle loves the most is Cheng’er. It’s only natural for Cheng’er to do what he can for Third Uncle.” Di Cheng smiled.

“It’s hard for you to have this heart… Go rest.”

As they spoke, Liu Sisi’s eyes began to redden. Having said that, she didn’t wait for Di Cheng to respond, and pushed open the door to the room.

Di Cheng stood there for a while, then murmured, “Alright, Third Aunt, you rest too.”

Suddenly coming from the quiet village to the bustling county town, Liu Sisi was not used to it. Most importantly, tomorrow was the day Di Yelei was to appear in court, and she couldn’t sleep tossing and turning.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Liu Sisi instinctively jumped.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me, Sisi! Nan Tianzong, something has happened over there!”

Liu Sisi quickly got up and put on her clothes, opening the door, “What happened, Big Brother Nan?”

Upon entering, Nan Tianzong hurriedly said, “My friend just sent a message that when they went to arrest someone overnight, they found out Sun Ergou had escaped after getting wind of it! They chased him all the way but couldn’t catch him.”

He escaped, the Damn Fatty Sun Ergou could actually run? He was so fat, where could he run to?

“Sun Ergou ran away? What about Little Taohong, did they find her?” Liu Sisi asked anxiously.

Nan Tianzong shook his head with a pained expression, “Just before dusk, Little Taohong was entertaining guests at the Yihong Courtyard, and while dancing and drinking with them, she accidentally fell from the small house into the lotus pond, breaking her neck. She was already dead before they could rescue her. My friend arrived just in time to see Little Taohong’s corpse being fished out of the lotus pond, her body was stiff.”

Liu Sisi’s body went limp, and she collapsed into a chair.

Two important witnesses and the criminal, one escaped, and the other died. Tomorrow, Ye Lei will be in court, and if he is found guilty, the trial will be at least a month away.

A month! Who knows how much suffering Ye Lei will go through, what hardships he will endure, not to mention being imprisoned for a wrongful conviction!

With these thoughts in mind, there’s no way Liu Sisi could fall asleep!

“I’ll go and urge my friends to speed up their search, so we can find Sun Ergou as soon as possible! There must be a way, Sisi, you should rest early.” After saying this, Nan Tianzong left the room.

With trouble brewing on both sides, who would believe that Di Yelei wasn’t being set up on purpose?

Liu Sisi didn’t sleep well the entire night, and everyone was frightened the whole time.

At daybreak, everyone left the inn early and headed to the county government, waiting outside the hall.

“Hang the mirror high” was hung high above, and the imposing governmental office’s runners guarded both sides with their killing rods, but the County Magistrate was nowhere to be seen.

It wasn’t until the sun was high in the sky that the drum for court finally sounded.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to my friends, today’s trial is just a formality, nothing will happen.” Nan Tianzong comforted Liu Sisi.

Although Liu Sisi knew it was just a comforting statement, her heart still warmed, and she smiled and nodded slightly: “I know, Big Brother Nan! Thank you for your help. I thank you on behalf of Ye Lei.”

“No need.” Nan Tianzong twitched the corner of his mouth, what he wanted was not just a word of thanks.

“Today’s trial will address Di Yelei’s murder case. Bring the victim’s family to court.” The County Magistrate announced as he struck the wooden block.

The corpse was brought in, and the victim naturally was Old Man Li with the lame leg.

Upon entering, Old Man Li burst into tears, accusing Di Yelei of causing him to lose his beloved son. He almost threw fits and rolled on the floor of the court room, making Liu Sisi’s head ache.

The County Magistrate struck the wooden block again: “Bring the criminal Di Yelei to court!”

Ye Lei seemed even darker than he was three days ago. After the constables removed his shackles, he still stood up and stretched out his limbs, full of vitality. Seeing Liu Sisi in the court room, he smiled gently at her, signaling that she didn’t need to worry.

From the moment she saw him, Liu Sisi’s tears never stopped. She kept wiping her tears, but the more she wiped, the more they flowed.

“Di Yelei, where were you on the third day of last month?”

Di Yelei bowed: “To answer Lord County Magistrate, on the third day, Ye Lei went to see Big Mouth Li…” He recounted everything that happened that night.
