Chapter 166 The Prince Pretending to Be a Civet Cat
Early in the morning, Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyan went to the side hall of the county government to meet Governor Tan.
"Sir Pei, I interrogated all of them last night and all of them confessed. I really didn't expect that everyone from top to bottom, from Yao Zhixian to the beggar, was involved in this. It lasted for three years."
Governor Tan stayed up all night, his eyes were red and bloodshot, he was filled with emotion, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Yes, I saw the record about the hungry ghosts of Yizhuang in the archives of Dali Temple. I thought it was just someone pretending to be a ghost to make money. I didn't expect that it was very involved, and there was also a murder case two years ago hidden."
"Thanks to Mr. Pei, otherwise the top-down evil in Linfu County would have continued for who knows how many years. These people are plotting against each other, and only the people will suffer. When the new county magistrate takes office, he must take good charge of Linfu.
The prices of goods for merchants in the county can no longer be set at will by three families, disrupting people's livelihood and exploiting the people."
As soon as Governor Tan finished speaking, a government official came to report outside the door:
"I report to the three adults that Pan Dacai committed suicide in prison."
"What?" Yu Qingfeng asked subconsciously in surprise, and then guessed something, "Could it be Pan Xiaoying, she, she died of illness? Has the news reached the county jail?"
The yamen officer who reported the report looked up in surprise, with words written all over his face: How did you know?
"Back to Yu Sizhi, that's exactly what happened. At that time, Yao Dingshan's arm wound continued to bleed. Governor Tan ordered that the doctor be invited to go to the prison for treatment. The doctor happened to be the doctor who was treating Pan Xiaoying. Pan Dacai asked him if Pan Xiaoying was awake. The doctor told him,
He just came from Pan's house, and when the Pan family's servants went to invite him, he had already gone to confirm that Pan Xiaoying had died."
Governor Tan slapped the table and said, "Why is this doctor so talkative! Pass the order and slap twenty."
Yu Qingfeng hurriedly persuaded, "Sir, the doctor also has his own reasons."
"What's the reason?" Governor Tan was puzzled.
Yu Qingfeng said helplessly: "Although the doctor doesn't know what Pan Dacai's crime is and whether he will be released, once Pan Dacai is released, he will definitely blame Pan Xiaoying's death on the doctor who treated him.
"The doctors have long seen Pan Dacai's tyranny. In order to protect themselves, they did not even dare to tell Pan Dacai that Pan Xiaoying's illness was caused by him. Since the news of Pan Xiaoying's death will be known to Pan Dacai sooner or later, it is better to inform Pan Dacai at the county government boundary.
.
"In this way, it will be safer for Pan Dacai to report to the official when he is in trouble in the future. This can also be regarded as a little trick of the doctor to protect himself.
"It's just that the doctor didn't expect that Pan Dacai would commit suicide because he couldn't accept this fact. This brother and sister are really sad."
Yu Qingfeng told a white lie. Since Pan Dacai was able to mention to her that Pan Xiaoying had saved his life when he threatened her to do all he could to treat Pan Xiaoying, he must have mentioned it to the doctor.
Yu Qingfeng knew how the doctor was under great pressure. However, Yu Qingfeng was an official in the capital. After offending Pan Dacai, she could just pat her butt and leave without worrying about Pan Dacai's revenge. However, the doctor was just a local commoner and could not fight Pan Dacai at all.
So from the doctor's point of view, the safest situation is that Pan Dacai chose to commit suicide out of grief and self-blame.
Is the doctor a sinister person? Even if he is, he was forced by Pan Dacai. Yu Qingfeng sympathizes with the doctor and sides with him.
Governor Tan nodded clearly and said to the Yamen officer: "That's it, I'll spare you the slap."
Yu Qingfeng looked at Pei Wuyan's face that she couldn't put down, and lamented Pan Xiaoying's death.
If Pan Xiaoying hadn't suddenly seen such a rare handsome guy, her heartbeat accelerated, and she was eager to have sex with Pei Wuyan, would her heart have been able to hold on for a little longer?
From Pan Xiaoying's perspective, Lan Yan is also a fatal disaster.
"Master Tan, we are going to leave for the capital in the afternoon. Now that the case is clear, the follow-up will be handed over to Master Tan."
Pei Wuyan is not worried about Governor Tan's favoritism, because as far as he knows, there is no power relationship between Governor Tan and Yao County Magistrate, and Governor Tan is a well-known iron-faced judge who can impose harsh sentences and never lightly.
Governor Tan nodded. Pei Wuyan and Yu Qingfeng worked so hard to plant trees, but they gave the fruits directly to him. They were a little flattered. Since they were so generous, he had to show something.
"Master Pei, Yao Qiguan, as the county magistrate, knows the law and breaks the law, and his crime will be increased to one level; his wife repeatedly mutilated the side chamber and the fetus in her belly, and the crime is unpardonable; the side chamber Huang and Xue Yintian jointly took revenge, although it did not involve human life,
However, Bai Yisheng and Yao Dingshan were tortured; Diao Dechao and Xue Yuntian defrauded money, killed Bai Yisheng, and destroyed the body to hide the crime;
"I intend to sentence Yao Qiguan, Yao Qiguan's principal wife and concubine's wife, Xue Yuntian and Diao Dechao to death, and Yao Dingshan, as the son of the guilty minister, be exiled. What do you think?"
Yu Qingfeng felt quite sad, especially for Mrs. Huang. After all, this woman had been a victim. She also funded the establishment of the Salesian Village and went to look after the orphans every day.
"Master Tan..." Pei Wuyan saw what Yu Qingfeng was thinking. Since Yu Qingfeng had just pleaded with Governor Tan for the doctor, this time he planned to intercede for Mrs. Huang on behalf of Yu Qingfeng.
Governor Tan raised his hand to stop Pei Wuyan, "Sir Pei, I know what you are going to say. Huang's crime is not punishable by death, right? If Mr. Pei knew that she intended to poison Yu Sizhi last night, he would still intercede for Huang.
?”
"Poison?" Pei Wuyan really didn't know, so he turned to Yu Qingfeng and asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Qingfeng sighed, "Before going out last night, Mrs. Huang did go to deliver snacks to me in person, but was stopped by the servants. I also specifically told the two servants not to be greedy. What? They still ate?"
"The two of them shared a piece of food. Fortunately, they didn't eat much and their lives were saved. I had the man test it and found that there was arsenic in the cake."
Pei Wuyan snorted coldly and said to Yu Qingfeng: "Attempted murder is the same as murder. Just listen to Mr. Tan and kill him immediately."
Yu Qingfeng lamented that Mrs. Huang was obviously a victim, but she was dominated by hatred and became a perpetrator. For the sake of her revenge plan with Xue Yintian, she would cruelly kill the innocent woman. Even if Yu Qingfeng deceived her, it was indeed hateful.
But it’s not so vicious, right?
Forget it, poor people must be hateful. Yu Qingfeng gave up her plea.
After lunch, a group of eight people set off on horseback on their way back to the capital.
Yu Qingfeng's riding skills were limited and she fell last. Pei Wuyan simply slowed down to accompany him.
"What happened to the Eighth Prince's resignation?" Yu Qingfeng thought of the Eighth Prince that Qi Jinglin once mentioned. It sounds like once the position of Crown Prince becomes vacant, this hot Eighth Prince will fill it, and he will be the successor to the Crown Prince.
"I don't know. He is from over there, and he is also the only son of Queen Zhou." Pei Wuyan meant that the Eighth Prince was a stunning beauty in a B-level web drama, and he was not created by him.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a queen who doesn't want her own son to be a prince is not a good queen," Yu Qingfeng concluded by analogy, "Empress Zhou murdered the late empress seven years ago, and now she is killing all those who knew about it.
It’s for this eighth prince.”
"Yes, so the battlefield now belongs to the Eighth Prince and the impostor Qi Jinglin. Qu Kaixuan wants to control the puppet and impostor, and gradually control the situation of the court. In the end, he simply blackmails the Emperor to order the princes, or simply overthrows the Emperor and establishes himself as king; the Eighth Prince
Under the arrangement of his biological mother, Queen Zhou, he secretly competed for the position of crown prince;
"Our side is on the periphery of the war situation. We can safely look for other palace residents and witnesses who escaped from Chunhua Palace, and restore the truth about the death of the Queen Xian seven years ago."
Yu Qingfeng laughed and joked, "We are on the periphery, but we have to send Qi Jinglin, who you have molded, back to the battlefield. Without the heroine Cheng Minrong, it is pitiful to let him fight alone."
"There is no way, who calls him the hero? We can't always hide him in Dali Temple to protect his safety. If you want to wear his crown, you must bear his weight, and if you want to wear his halo, you must bear his fatigue. He must go back and
His role is finished, and it ends perfectly." Pei Wuyan was somewhat gloating, "I'm different. There is no supporting female character who holds us back. Instead, I have God assisting the main heroine, who is destined to be cheated along the way."
As expected of a competent boyfriend, a capable boyfriend who could provide emotional value, Yu Qingfeng was very helpful to Pei Wuyan's sweet words of praise.
The speed of the two became slower and slower, wishing that the two horses were close to each other so that they could hold hands in the air.
"So, how do you plan to send the prince back?" Yu Qingfeng had an idea in her mind. She was not in a hurry to say it, but wanted to see if she and Pei Wuyan coincided with each other again.
Pei Wuyan smiled understandingly and winked at Yu Qingfeng, "Since Qu Kaixuan created learning opportunities for the impostor and asked him to imitate the prince's words and deeds, then presumably the prince also imitated the impostor to some extent."
Yu Qingfeng said with a smile: "Since Qu Kaixuan performed a civet cat for the prince for us, then we will play the prince and the civet cat for him."
Outside the city gate, one can see Lin Ming and Lian Shurong waiting for a long time from a distance.
Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyan exchanged glances. From now on, when they face Lin Ming, they have to use their acting skills to deal with it carefully.
The group dismounted and met Lin Minglian Shurong.
As soon as he saw Yu Qingfeng, Lin Ming hurried forward, looked her up and down, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? The injured guard who returned to Dali Temple said that you were attacked and separated!"
Yu Qingfeng was equally anxious, "How many guards have returned?"
Lian Shurong replied helplessly: "Fourteen. There are minor and serious injuries."
He took twenty guards out, and fourteen came back, plus the four behind him now, a total of eighteen. In other words, there were two guards who were neither dead nor dead.
But now there are exactly six guards behind Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyan, which seems to be just right.
After Lin Ming looked at Yu Qingfeng, he glanced behind him and saw Qi Jinglin and Wang Gonggong at a glance, and his eyes widened immediately.
"You guys, you found him!" Lin Ming shouted in surprise.
Lian Shurong also noticed it, and wanted to step forward excitedly, but felt it was inappropriate, "Quick, let's talk about it when we get back. Go back and tell us what you have been through, and how you found this person."
Lin Ming hadn't seen Yu Qingfeng for a long time, and he didn't dare to slacken his gaze for a moment. He stayed close to Yu Qingfeng, and even wanted to reach out and take the reins from Yu Qingfeng's hand and lead the horse for her.
Pei Wuyan raised his hand at the right time and pressed Lin Ming's hand, "Master Lin, Qingfeng and I have made a life-long commitment. I will not marry unless she is her, and she will not marry unless I am. Therefore, I will personally take care of Qingfeng in the future.
.”
Lin Ming was stunned, his pupils were shaking.
Lian Shurong came over gossiping, "You two have always been ambiguous about what is true and what is false. Are you sure it's true this time?"
Yu Qingfeng handed her reins and Pei Wuyan's reins to Lian Shurong's hands, then freed up her arms, hugged Pei Wuyan's arms, and rested her head on Pei Wuyan's shoulders, "It's absolutely true."
Lian Shurong glanced at Lin Ming's livid face, looking pitiful and hopeless. It's not worth it for his good brother, "Yu Qingfeng, do you really think that the wife of Dali Temple is so easy to be? Then you have to be a good match. You, your background
, it’s just a side room, a concubine. Didn’t you say you don’t want to be a concubine?”
"Don't bother Mr. Lian to worry about me. Wuyan and I are the most well-matched couple in the whole Dayong, oh no, in the whole world." Yu Qingfeng said and raised her eyes to look at Pei Wuyan, the only one.
An audience that can understand her words.
Pei Wuyan stroked Yu Qingfeng's cheek lovingly, his smile full of doting.
Lian Shurong waved his hands in disgust, "Okay, okay, in public, Yu Qingfeng, can you be more reserved like a daughter?"
