Lin Tingjun stood in the hall with his eyelids half closed, seemingly not yet asleep, but his gaze from behind his eyelids was staring coldly at the changes in Fu Mingrui's expression, and the light in his eyes under his long eyelashes gradually became dim and cold.
Lian Youyou turned to look at Fat Buddha: "Fat Buddha, Yunxi, carry the two injured people into the wing room for treatment."
"yes!"
"Okay!" Fat Buddha and Yunxi went to take down the things on the wall first.
Lian glanced at Fu Mingrui and said, "Even if you beat a dog, you still have to look at its owner. I'll give you this face."
It would have been better if Lian Youyou didn't say anything. After she said that, Fu Mingrui's face turned red again, as beautiful as a red peach in March.
Lian Youyou leaned down and took out an oval black waist badge from the black-clothed man who was beaten by He Shiqi. The words of the Fu family could not be seen on the waist badge. There was a word "Ling" on the front, and a monster pattern on the back that looked like a fish but not a fish, and a beast but not a beast. But as long as Fu Kun and his men saw it, they knew that their people had been captured.
Lian glanced at the animal pattern on the token, smiled contemptuously, and grabbed it in her hand. She turned around and looked at Sanniang and Yunyao: "Sanniang, Yunyao, go back to your room and search for bottles and jars. Everyone, gather all the elixirs in the room and see if there are any that can be used."
“Got it~~” Sanniang turned and went inside.
Everyone has medicine jar shelves in their rooms, but no one has ever thought about whether those medicine bottles can still be used. The elixirs made by Taishang Laojun must have been taken away when moving, and most of the remaining ones are finished products or defective products. Don't think that the things left by Taishang Laojun are good things. These medicines cannot be taken carelessly.
Yun Yao pouted, she didn't expect that she would really have to obey Lian Youyou's orders. Even if she was unwilling, who made her accept the benefits of the great immortal
"Xiao Guang, make a pot of good tea and let Lord Fu Mingrui interrogate him." Lian Youyou winked at Lord Yao Guang who was far away. Lord Yao Guang winked obscenely, twisted his fat body, and went to take out his best tea.
After giving the instructions one by one, Lian Youyou looked at Fu Mingrui: "You must be very curious about why Wanqing killed someone." Lian Youyou looked at Wanqing who was still looking at them in surprise.
Only then did Fu Mingrui realize that Wanqing had actually been in the hall the entire time, but he had not noticed her because she was too quiet and because of the series of events that had just occurred.
Lian Youyou turned to Ming Rui and said, "Go ask her. She's right there."
Wanqing looked at Fu Mingrui, and Fu Mingrui also looked at Wanqing.
Fu Mingrui was a little confused in his surprise, because he still couldn't believe that the frail girl in front of him was the murderer of Ma Yun. If she was the one who killed him, how did she do it? What was her motive? Yes, he really had a lot of questions to ask this fancy girl Wanqing.
Master Yao Guang brought out some good tea, poured a cup for everyone, and sat quietly at the round table. Lin Tingjun took the opportunity to sit down, picked up a cup, and sipped it leisurely.
In the hall, the fresh scent of tea slowly permeates.
Fat Buddha and Yunxi dragged the injured into the room they had cleared, locked everyone else in as well, clapped their hands, and sat back in the hall to drink tea.
Fat Buddha gave Wanqing an encouraging smile.
The Nine Gates, which were filled with smoke just now, now became relaxed and at ease because of the fragrance of tea.
Wanqing bit her lip, slowly stood up, picked up her skirt and knelt in front of Fu Mingrui: "Sir, I am willing to confess to killing Ma Yun, but please, sir, help me get justice! Seek justice for the 130 lives of our Lijia Village!"
As Wanqing spoke with hatred and sobs, Fu Mingrui stood in the yard in a daze!
Ten years ago, the Tianliu River flooded.
More than a hundred villages were flooded and villagers were displaced.
The fertile fields of Lijia Village were flooded, the houses were destroyed, and more than a hundred villagers took refuge in the village temple on the mountain.
The imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief, and the village chief bought rice.
But the rice was black, and when the porridge came out, it was full of moths and smelled sour and disgusting.
The villagers had suffered from the disaster for several days and were extremely hungry, so they forced themselves to drink it.
However, the moldy rice was harmful to people. Some villagers died of diarrhea and became corpses overnight.
In the face of the flood, Lijia Village suffered another man-made disaster, and was filled with pain and despair.
The flood has not yet receded and the corpses are rotting.
Lijia Village is located deep in the mountains, far away from other villages. A flood almost cut them off from the outside world.
The poisonous rice was hard to swallow, but they were starving and cold. They knew that they would die if they ate the worm rice, but if they didn't eat it, they would starve to death. Everyone in the village, young and old, hated the black-hearted village chief.
The villagers began to resist and captured the black-hearted village chief to interrogate the source of the poisonous rice. It turned out that the black-hearted grain merchants colluded with their county magistrate and embezzled the disaster relief funds.
They tied up the village chief and wanted to leave the village to report the incident, but their only way out was blocked by a group of soldiers.
The night is cold and the water is surging.
Thousands of arrows fell and wails arose.
The blood flowed like a river and the corpses piled up like a mountain.
When Wanqing fell into the water, she saw thousands of rockets as beautiful as shooting stars. The wailing of her people echoed in the night sky above Lijia Village...
Everything ended with the outbreak of plague in Lijia Village. The village chief was also murdered to silence him. No one knew about the massacre in Lijia Village anymore...
Wanqing's clothes were wet with tears, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
"When I fell into the river, I thought I was doomed to die, but unexpectedly, God spared my life so that I can avenge my people!" Wanqing took a deep breath and swallowed down the sorrow and pain of the past ten years.
"Could it be that the black-hearted businessman you mentioned is?" Fu Mingrui sat in front of Wanqing, with a look of great shock on his face!
Wanqing's eyes were filled with hatred, and her whole body was shaking with anger: "It's Ma Guanqun!"
Everyone gasped, but only looked at Fu Mingrui.
Fu Mingrui frowned and fell silent, with a solemn look on his face.
Lian Youyou stood beside him, looking down at Fu Mingrui with contempt: "Did you hear that? This case is very simple. Ma Guanqun colluded with the county magistrate and used the moldy and spoiled rice in the granary to help Lijia Village in order to swallow up the disaster relief money. As a result, he was discovered by Lijia Village and was intercepted by soldiers when he tried to appeal. Alas... The emperor is far away~~No matter how good the emperor is, he can't see the corruption thousands of miles away and deep in the mountains~~~"
Everyone looked downcast. In this world, termites always breed in the invisible corners.
"This is a case of a human being, and it's up to you to solve it. If you can get to the bottom of this old case, we can say in front of the emperor that we are jointly investigating the case, and there will be no winner or loser. But if you can't figure it out, hum..." Lian Youyou crossed her arms, raised her face and curled the corners of her mouth, and sneered, "I will let Wanqing go and let her take revenge."
"How can this be possible!" Fu Mingrui objected immediately, "If everyone is thinking about revenge, what is the use of laws? Wouldn't the world be in chaos? You are defying the law!"
Everyone smiled silently and exchanged glances. If the law really applies, Fu Mingrui and his family would have been thrown into jail.
"Disrespecting the law?" Lian Youyou smiled contemptuously, leaning over, her hair falling on the side of Fu Mingrui's face. Fu Mingrui was slightly startled, Lian Youyou narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Your family... actually also abides by the law?"
Fu Mingrui immediately understood the hidden meaning of Lian Youyou's words, and his face instantly turned red with embarrassment. He himself was upright, but he dared not say that his father was incorruptible. (To be continued)
