MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 433 Lord Qingtian
The poison was manipulated to take the lives of Peony and the child, because only the dead can shut up forever.
The reason why Pan Meiren is so vicious is probably because she was instructed by her superiors.
The brothel has a set of strict management rules for the girls in the brothel. All girls who open the door to receive customers have been given medicine by Pan Meiren to prevent pregnancy.
Peony peony is naturally no exception.
But she can still get pregnant for only one reason.
She doesn’t drink it herself, she wants to keep a child.
But she may not have expected that the person she thought could stay with the child did not want the child to become her handle, so she ordered Pan Meiren to kill her.
Yin Le stood in the water room, looking at the rotting corpse covered with white cloth on the wooden board, whose stunning beauty could no longer be seen. Listening to the county magistrate's speculation and analysis in his ears, tears fell in disbelief.
"how could this be?"
“Sister Shaoyao, why are you so stupid? You cherish the words he left so much. That night the fire was so intense that you had to go back and take away the things he left you. How could he do this to you!”
Seeing that Yin Le was agitated, Song Zhang quickly asked the yamen to take her out of the water room.
Yin Le was sitting in the corner of the lobby, her hands clenched into fists angrily. She took a deep breath to calm down, then stood up and rushed to the center of the lobby and asked:
“My lord, magistrate, can you avenge Shaoyao?”
Song Zhang looked at her and sighed regretfully, "I can only bring Pan Meiren to justice."
Yin Le was greatly disappointed. She knew that Zhaoda who mentioned the poem was the culprit.
However, the person who killed Peony didn’t need to be punished at all?
Song Zhang looked nervously at Yin Le, who was getting excited again, and gave the Yamen a wink to remind them to pay attention.
But what none of them expected was that Yin Le suddenly calmed down, knelt down, and said seriously: "The daughter of the people understands."
What does she understand? Song Zhang was full of suspicion.
However, he is very grateful that Yin Le is willing to testify in court regardless of his woman's reputation.
As for the other poor women who couldn't be persuaded, after Yin Le's persuasion, I don't know how many will be willing to come out tomorrow.
Song Zhang sent Yin Le to his wife's house to rest. After they left, he called the county magistrate and asked him if Pan Meiren had been caught.
The county magistrate nodded slightly and handed over the red mandarin duck's bellyband, and Pan Meiren caught it "very smoothly".
However, the gentleman's face was a little ugly, and he asked him to give a few words to Magistrate Song.
“What did he say?” Song Zhang asked curiously.
The county magistrate reported: "He said that young people should not be too popular."
“Oh, by the way, I also gave you a gift, saying thank you for helping him find a beautiful memory.”
The county magistrate said this while holding back his nausea, and immediately waved to his officers and soldiers to present the gifts.
Song Zhang opened a beautifully carved mahogany box on the spot, and the white silver inside almost blinded them.
The officials who were watching were so excited that they were breathing rapidly. They had never seen so much money in their lives!
Song Zhang's face is ashen, what does this mean?
Bribery?
Or bribery?
The master noticed his master's displeasure and asked tentatively: "How about giving it back to him?"
"What else?" Song Zhang shouted coldly: "Since he gave it, then take it and distribute it to the girls who were harmed, so as to accumulate some virtue for him!"
The county magistrate choked for breath, "My lord, are they all divided?" Song Zhang looked around speechlessly at the group of people in front of him. What kind of moths had the previous county magistrates raised!
In my mind, I scolded my predecessors so much that I praised and encouraged them for their good work, so that the few who were willing to work would not run away.
But the money, the people in the yamen are not allowed to touch a single copper!
Think about the guest at the county magistrate's house. Everyone agreed in angrily, but in the end they still didn't have the guts to challenge the county magistrate's bottom line.
Otherwise, who knows if the God of Killing will treat them as thieves and kill them too!
With Qin Yao at home, Song Zhang is now confident.
Afraid of a long night and many dreams, he worked hard and tried Pan Meiren's case the next day.
There are all the witnesses and material evidence, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive. He will be beaten with fifty sticks on the spot, his hair will be shaved and tattooed, and he will be thrown into prison and beheaded in the future!
The evildoer got the punishment he deserved, and he was very happy. The people in the whole city cheered and shouted: "Master Qingtian!"
However, amidst the joy and noise, the rescued women stood in the backyard of the county government office with hesitant expressions, not knowing where to go.
Most of them were pawned and sold by their family members to gambling houses, which were then sold to brothels. There was no place to go back to.
Some of them were abducted by acquaintances and bought by Pan Meiren.
However, since he has been missing for so long and his family has not come to look for him, he will not be welcomed if he returns suddenly at this time.
What frightens them even more is the gossip in the village.
On the day of leaving the court, several women who had promised Yin Le before did not come out.
From beginning to end, Yin Le was the only one who pointed out Pan Meiren’s evil deeds in the hall.
Even though her face was covered at the time, she was still recognized by her family members who came to watch the trial.
After speaking her testimony, she looked back and saw her brother standing outside the hall in shock. Yin Le's heartbeat was beating like a drum. She pinched her palms to bleed so as not to dodge her brother's disbelieving and heart-wrenching gaze.
Yin Le didn’t end the ordeal until the county magistrate ordered her to leave.
She is like this, not to mention other sisters who are more vulnerable than her.
They would simply not be able to bear it if they were recognized by their relatives, friends and family.
But now that Pan Meiren has surrendered and her mission has been completed, what should she do next?
Yin Le fell into confusion.
“Madam, the master is back!”
The servants reported excitedly outside the door.
Looking at Song Zhang, who was holding an official hat and wearing a county magistrate's official uniform, striding towards him, everyone in the Song family looked at him with reverence.
They all heard the voice of Master Qingtian in the city in the courtyard. The people of the Song family were very honored and extremely proud.
In the flower hall, the county magistrate's wife and young ladies, who were asking Qin Yao for advice on how to capture the gangster, heard the servant's report and hurriedly stopped throwing their shoulders and stepped forward with a smile.
Seeing these familiar faces, Song Zhang relaxed after having been tense all morning. He took a big step and sat down on the Taishi chair. He took the tea from his sister and drank a cup of it, feeling relieved.
Qin Yao joked: "How does it feel to be called Lord Qingtian by the people?"
Song Zhang laughed and said, "It's very refreshing!"
The county magistrate’s wife also laughed, and the children’s eyes shone, looking at their father with admiration.
Although Qin Yao couldn't bear to interrupt this warm family, she still had to remind her: "I'm going back."
Song Zhang stood up so excited that the tea cup almost broke, "Ms. Qin, wait a minute!"
Afraid that Qin Yao would leave at once, he hurriedly asked someone to call the master, "Remember to ask him to bring Madam Qin's new bow!"
Qin Yao's eyes lit up and she said reasonably: "Then I'll just sit there for a while."
With Liu Ji at home, he is good at taking care of children and housework, so she actually has nothing to worry about. (End of chapter)
