528 The Truth Is Revealed (3)
Yu Gang found the butler’s account book. A pair of detailed information. Wasn’t it the gold, silver, and jewelry of the sacrificial soldier camp? The fact that the sacrificial soldier camp was the Second Old Master’s nest was completely confirmed.
Helian Beiming’s expression turned even colder. Second Uncle, do you know that raising so many sacrificial soldiers is a capital crime? In order to deal with me, you didn’t hesitate to drag the entire Helian family down with you?
“Continue!” Yu Gang kicked the butler.
“Yes, yes, yes!” The butler immediately confessed to some forces that had dealings with the Second Old Master. Every one of them was shocking. Then, there was the matter of the Second Old Master assassinating Helian Beiming and kidnapping Madam Jiang. This butler did not know in detail, but he was sure that the Second Old Master had indeed done it because he had found someone to copy Helian Sheng’s handwriting.
“Then was he also the one who caused the general to go berserk from cultivating?” Yu Gang had long suspected that his general had accidentally taken something that caused his meridians to reverse.
“No,” the butler said with certainty. “This really isn’t.”
Yu Gang looked at him suspiciously. “Are you sure?”
The butler sighed. “I’ve already admitted so many crimes. It doesn’t matter if there was another one, but it really wasn’t done by Second Old Master! No matter how muddle-headed Second Old Master is, he’s not bold enough to attack the Grand General directly! Besides, hasn’t this matter been investigated?”
They had indeed investigated, but they did not find any clues.
Yu Gang frowned. “What about my madam and Young Master?”
The butler was stunned for a moment before saying, “You mean Madam Tan and Young Master Sheng? Second Old Master did think of attacking Young Master Sheng. He even prepared poison, but before he could poison Young Master Sheng, something had already happened to Young Master Sheng. Something had also happened to Madam Tan. At that time, Second Old Master even said in surprise that he was indeed the destined head of the Helian family. Even the heavens were on his side.”
“Do you know the consequences of lying?” Yu Gang pointed his long knife at his family imprisoned in another cell.
The butler’s heart skipped a beat as he swore, “Of course I know! I won’t lie! If you don’t believe me, I… I swear to God, if I’m lying, I’ll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”
No matter how he swore, Helian Beiming would not believe everything easily. Helian Beiming asked his subordinates to interrogate the other trusted aides of the Second Old Master. They did not have as much information as the butler, but when they pieced it together, it was almost the same as the butler’s explanation.
Therefore, the butler’s words were true. The Second Old Master had harmed Old Madam and Yu Shaoqing, Helian Beiming, and almost harmed Madam Jiang. However, Helian Beiming’s Qi Deviation and the matter of Madam Tan and Helian Sheng had nothing to do with him.
During the interrogation, Yu Wan, Yan Jiuchao, and Yu Shaoqing were also beside Helian Beiming. In the cell, Yu Wan held back her words. However, after coming out, Yu Wan said to her husband, “Could it be that Uncle’s cultivation deviation was really an accident?”
Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “If what happened to Madam Tan and Helian Sheng isn’t true, then it shouldn’t be an accident that Helian Beiming went berserk during his cultivation.”
At this moment, Yu Gang also walked out of the cell.
Yan Jiuchao stopped him. “Who was the one investigating the matter of the Grand General going crazy back then?”
“It was Madam,” Yu Gang said.
“Madam Tan investigated it?” Yan Jiuchao muttered thoughtfully.
Yu Gang said, “That’s right. Madam has investigated everyone in the East Manor. Madam also suspects that someone did something to the Grand General, but there’s nothing.”
Yan Jiuchao looked indifferently at the endless sky. “There’s naturally nothing when the culprit went to investigate.”
