Chapter 307 Confirmation
"Again, your father's suicide note is completely correct. He did not leave any false information in it to deceive me. From the very beginning, the real cause of his death was corruption and bribery. Since I was about to arrive in Rang County, he had no choice but to hang himself."
"Until now, there have been no problems."
"The only person with a problem is your uncle, Chen Tai!"
"He told me a lie."
"The story he told was a lie."
Several people present knew the story Chen Tai told.
The story of his sister being raped by Yu Lei, a man who liked her maid, and finally having no choice but to marry Yu Lei, and the two families never had any contact with each other again.
This story is fake!
Li Cunxi turned around and looked at Yu Yin intently.
“I think the true story should be like this.”
"Your father, Yu Lei, was indeed a poor and down-and-out scholar more than ten years ago. He met your mother by chance, and they fell in love at first sight, and then secretly got married."
"After they got together, they soon had you. Your grandfather and uncle were not happy about this, so they captured your father Yu Lei, locked him up, and made up this story for the public."
"How could your mother be willing to let your father be locked up like an animal? Moreover, she was pregnant with you. So she let your father go late at night, and then waited at home for your father to pass the imperial examination."
"am I right?"
Li Cunxi had a smile on his face, an extremely confident smile.
He firmly believed that what he said must be correct and Yu Yin could not refute him no matter what.
Obviously, after listening to what Li Cunxi said, Yu Yin fell into silence.
Li Cunxi took advantage of the victory and pursued, saying:
"Your father Yu Lei lived up to the high expectations and indeed passed the imperial examination. He even returned to Dengzhou and became a county magistrate."
"He is a good man. He came back to pick up your mother as soon as possible. Your grandfather Chen Gu was unwilling, but he had no choice because the people should not fight against the officials."
"Because of this incident, your two families broke up completely, and Chen Gu became seriously ill and eventually died."
"After the two families stopped visiting relatives, your father's career did not make any progress. Because he had no one in the court, your father served as a county magistrate for twelve years."
"What is the idea of a noble son from a poor family? Isn't it to climb up step by step, step by step, to the top and look down on all the other mountains?"
"So even though your father was a good official, he still wanted to move up a level. With this goal in mind, your father went to Chang'an and submitted a letter of surrender to Liang Wang Wu Sansi and several other important figures."
"What is this pledge of allegiance?"
"It's a bribe of two hundred thousand taels of silver per person."
At this point, the story has reached its climax.
This is what Yu Lei has experienced over the years.
He was a good official, but it was very difficult for a good official to climb up the career ladder, as he did not have enough money as a stepping stone.
So he had no choice but to agree to accept bribes from Wu Sansi and others after becoming the governor of Dengzhou.
So, he became the governor of Dengzhou and began to accept bribes of 200,000 taels of silver each from those important figures.
Later, he found that there was no way to get the rich to give him money, so he borrowed 200,000 taels of silver from the Bainiao Trading Company.
The Bainiao Trading Company was founded by Wu Sansi.
Wu Sansi made Yu Leibai pay back five years' taxes without spending a penny, which was a really smart move.
Until a few days ago, when the repayment date of Bainiao Trading Company arrived, Yu Lei was unable to come up with the money, so he had no choice but to accept a bribe of 200,000 taels of silver deliberately sent by someone.
This period of time was exactly when Li Cunxi was about to make a secret visit to Rang County. Someone knew about Li Cunxi's movements in advance and used this to force Yu Lei to accept the bribe and return the 200,000 taels of silver.
As long as Li Cunxi arrived in Rang County, he would definitely know that Yu Lei had accepted the bribe of 200,000 taels of silver.
Such a large amount of silver was enough for Li Cunxi to kill Lei Liwei directly.
If they did not accept bribes, the people from Bainiao Trading Company would directly tell Wu Sansi that someone was against him. Who is Wu Sansi? How could someone who borrowed money from him and did not pay it back have a good ending?
Therefore, Yu Lei, who was going to die anyway, decided to let his son and wife survive.
He took the bribe and hanged himself, leaving behind his wife and son.
After Li Cunxi finished telling the story he had guessed, there was a hint of mockery on his face.
Yu Yin, who was being held up by Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui, now lowered his head in despair.
He couldn't imagine that there was really someone who could deduce what happened simply by reasoning.
Li Cunxi reached out and pinched Yu Yin's chin, forcing him to raise his head.
"But I have been thinking about what roles you, Chen Tai and Wu Duo played in this process."
"I guess that you are playing the role of an innocent person. You are fully aware of the whole process, but you are not involved in it at all."
"If my guess is correct, the real reason why your mother committed suicide should be someone forcing her... It was Chen Tai, right?"
Li Cunxi smiled evilly and looked into Yu Lei's eyes.
"Chen Tai holds a deep grudge against your father because of Chen Gu's death. Your mother was in love with Yu Lei and was the one who indirectly forced your grandfather to death. How could Chen Tai let her go?"
"And the person who gave Yu Lei two hundred thousand taels of silver could only be Chen Tai. Because in the entire Rang County, or even in the entire Dengzhou, there are very few wealthy families who can come up with two hundred thousand taels of silver. In Rang County, there are only the Bainiao Company and the Chen family."
"The Bai Niao Company couldn't have bribed Yu Lei themselves, so the only one who could have bribed Yu Lei was Chen Tai. He knew I would come to Rang County, so he used this trick to force Yu Lei to die anyway, and in the end he chose to hang himself."
"Your father also made a bold decision to protect you and your mother."
"He could have clearly stated in his suicide note that the person who bribed him was Chen Tai, but he only wrote that someone bribed him with 200,000 taels of silver, hoping that after his death Chen Tai would show mercy and spare you and your mother."
"But he didn't expect that Chen Tai would break into the Yu residence overnight, force your mother to death, and leave you, the child, behind."
Yu Yin looked ashen.
Very well, there is no hope at all.
Li Cunxi even deduced this.
What a pervert!
What's up with this brain?
"Do you have anything else to say?" Li Cunxi asked with a smile, "Tell me all the mistakes in my words, don't try to hide them, otherwise I will hand you over to the Internal Guard."
"There are no loopholes... Li Shaoyin is truly a god, and I, Yu Yin, am convinced. The death of my parents is exactly as Li Shaoyin said, and I ask Li Shaoyin to convict them."
"Whom shall I condemn?"
"Convict me. I cannot protect my parents. It is me, Yu Yin, who is guilty."
"I just want answers. I'm not interested in offending you. Just live your life well."
