Chapter 29 But I didn’t want to thank you this time (additional update)
Magistrate Lu's expression changed drastically.
His lips moved up and down, but no sound came out of his throat. His vision even went dark, and he wished he could just go.
He stood up tremblingly with fear.
Cui Yun glanced at the clock and said calmly: "As far as I know, the price of this blood pendant on Mr. Lu's body is enough to buy five magistrates' courtyards in Fengzhou. With your salary, I'm afraid..."
He paused and said no more.
But those present already knew it.
Cui Yun was calm: "I will report your matter to the emperor, and the censor from the procuratorate will come to hold you accountable."
"Liu Zhixian, don't delay."
This is because he doesn’t want to listen to Magistrate Lu’s nonsense.
Liu Zhixian sat upright and knocked on the chopping board: "Dong Feng! Stop making excuses! Is this person really not killed by you?"
When Dong Feng saw that Magistrate Lu's face turned pale, he felt bad.
When he came here, he was sure it was just a formality, and he had the prefect behind him as a big supporter.
All these years have been peaceful.
But right now, this backer doesn't dare to sit down, nor can he stand firmly, but he doesn't dare to run away. It's obvious that he can't protect himself.
Dong Feng was completely panicked.
This fear grabbed hold of his heart and viciously blocked all his escape routes.
Mrs. Dong couldn't bear the blow. She rolled her eyes and fainted.
"No! Sir, it's really not me. As soon as I woke up, the Feng Shui master's head was on my bed."
He placed his hands on the ground, his back trembling slightly. His expression didn't look fake.
Dong Feng said anxiously: "Furthermore, if I were the murderer, how could I leave evidence for committing murder in my own house?"
"You have no witnesses, let alone physical evidence. How can you convict me?"
Dong Feng refused to admit it, which made Liu Zhixian frown.
At this moment, a female voice came from outside.
"I have."
Shen Hua walked through the crowd watching the opera. She was still in her filial piety period, with a small white flower in her hair.
She was afraid of the cold and rolled herself into a ball. It was a bit difficult to walk.
Shen Hua had just entered the lobby after being allowed. At this moment, Mrs. Dong, who had fainted, suddenly opened her eyes and got up from the ground again.
This unexpected incident made Shen Hua's heart skip a beat. Her embroidered shoes stepped on the hem of her skirt, and she stumbled slightly.
Soon, someone on the right stretched out his hand and firmly held Shen Hua's body.
Shen Hua was grateful to her master.
Cui Yun quickly stopped and remained as upright and upright as ever.
"No thanks." He said softly.
Shen Hua reacted slowly and said "Ah".
"But I didn't want to thank you this time."
She is dressed in snow-white mink fur, without any impurities.
Cui Yun glanced at the dusty ground.
"You don't have to kneel."
This time, Shen Hua responded faster than anyone else.
"Sir! How can you assume that it was my husband who killed this master just because he died in my house?"
As soon as Mrs. Dong woke up, she began to get rid of the crime.
"My son's grave was dug up innocently, and the master's death was mysterious. Isn't this intentional? You are the great master of Qingtian, and you should make the decision for me."
Shen Hua was a little angry.
She patted her heart "bang bang bang" and glared at Mrs. Dong.
"Still quibbling! You fainted when you fainted. Why did you suddenly wake up? You scared me!"
"You are going to die, and you just want to use me as your backing!"
She snorted angrily.
The crowd continued to be agitated.
"Which family does this violent girl belong to?"
"This is the daughter of the Shen family embroidery shop. She is never easy to mess with."
"Little Marquis helps her do whatever she wants. Do you like this one?"
"Bah! The young Marquis didn't refute just now. He must like someone as old as me. He supports Madam Shen. He is nothing more than a gentleman."
Magistrate Liu: Who are these people?
Shen Hua turned sideways and looked at Dong Feng: "If you were the murderer, where would you commit the murder?"
"It's naturally a deserted place."
Dong Feng blurted out.
Shen Hua: "It seems that since no one sees it, we can be safe and sound."
"Sir, I have brought two witnesses."
County Magistrate Liu nodded slightly and ordered the officials: "Bring the people up."
Soon, a couple in coarse cloth clothes were brought up.
"The common people Zhang Zhuang, pay homage to your lord."
"Ms. Zhang Wang, a civilian woman, pays homage to your lord."
Dong Feng raised his eyes and his expression suddenly changed.
"Hey, I know these two people. They are from Wujiacun. Their daughter just died not long ago."
The low voice of the crowd finally reached Dong Feng's ears, but he couldn't hear a word.
Mrs. Dong beside him rolled her eyes again and fainted again.
Shen Hua looked at the crowd, pursed her lips slightly, and smiled lightly.
"Auntie is right, the couple in this family only have one daughter."
Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Zhang's eyes moistened. These days, she had lost her beloved daughter and was in unbearable grief. Therefore, her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
"Sir, my baby boy is exquisite and beautiful, but he has been taking medicine all year round and his health is not good."
"My family was poor. When she was young, I would always put her in a basket on my back and carry her to work in the mountains. But as long as she went there, there would always be pheasants and rabbits bumping into her. My child was very lucky, so my husband and I People named it Fubao."
As she spoke, she looked at her husband beside her fiercely, like a beast that swallowed human blood.
"Aren't you going to tell me yet?"
The corners of his eyes were wide open and tired. His skin was dark and his fingertips were chapped. He was obviously doing farm work. But he couldn't raise his head at this moment.
Mrs. Zhang Wang smiled coldly.
County Magistrate Liu was confused when he heard this, but Mrs. Zhang was so excited that she seemed unable to ask any questions.
He looked at Shen Hua.
Shen Hua spoke clearly: "Zhang Fubao, thirteen years old, was born with asthma and died eight days ago. Mr. Dong, where were you eight days ago?"
Dong Feng gritted his teeth: "I never go out."
Even now, he is still stubborn.
"After Dong Hui's death, Dong Feng traveled thousands of miles to the Miao people, invited Wizard Ge as his guest, and settled in his house."
Shen Hua: "Although it has been many years, many people knew about the news of Dong Feng's trip. And the servants serving the Dong family knew it very well. All the servants of the Dong family are here. All you need to do is Torture them severely."
"Of course the quickest way is to search the house where Wizard Ge lives and take a look at the stickers. You will know if you have a pair of dental plaques."
"I was young and ignorant. I really don't know why Dong Feng regarded a psychic wizard as a Feng Shui master."
At these words, everyone in the room was stunned except for Cui Yun and Lu Zhifu who was in a daze.
Soon, Liu Zhixian came to his senses.
He ordered the officials to search.
Shen Hua was not idle either.
"Half a month ago, you went to the Wang family and offered three hundred taels. Is this the case?"
"Forget it, there's no truth in your mouth."
Shen Hua said faintly: "Everyone must know what a shaman does. The Miao people have an extremely sinister witchcraft. It is very good to judge the horoscope. It is very good to determine the reincarnation of a girl who has not yet died. This practice can change her luck. Your Excellency, you can also ask someone to verify the authenticity of what I said."
"Fu Bao meets all the conditions. Mr. Dong is eager to come to the door early and promise a lot of money."
When she said this, Zhang Zhuang finally started crying.
But Shen Hua didn't feel sorry for him.
