Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...

Chapter 604 Despicable Thoughts

Liu Ziqi glanced at Wang Min who was being held in the handcuffs, and nodded slightly to Mei Xuanlang as a greeting, "Minister Mei, thank you for your hard work today."

Mei Xuanlang stopped and said in a businesslike tone, "Mr. Liu, you are too polite. This is my job and my responsibility."

Wang Min looked at Liu Ziqi and Yu Jiao without blinking. Only at this moment did he give up. It turned out that Meng Yujiao, a peasant girl, was acquainted with the eldest son of Liu Ci Fu's family. It was all because of that idiot Lin Fang. If he had not believed Lin Fang's slander and thought that Meng Yujiao was a weak and helpless country girl, he would never have made such a mistake and ended up in prison!

"Your sister is involved in this case. On the day of the trial, perhaps your sister should go to the Ministry of Justice to assist in the trial and clear her name at the same time." Mei Xuanlang glanced at Yu Jiao and said seriously.

Liu Ziqi lowered his eyes to look at Yu Jiao and said to her gently, "Are you willing to go? If you don't want to go, I will go for you."

It would be better for a girl not to go to the Ministry of Justice, where people are often executed. Mei Xuanlang guessed Liu Ziqi's concerns and said, "It's okay for Young Master Liu to go. The evidence is here."

"Big brother, let me go." Yu Jiao pulled Liu Ziqi's sleeve and said.

The little girl's voice was not loud, even gentle, but calm and composed. Mei Xuanlang raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Jiao.

He had also heard rumors about the third daughter of the Liu family, who had been missing for many years before being found back in the mansion.

Thinking about how Zhang Cong and the yamen runners were about to arrest someone, the little girl looked calm and composed. She didn't look like a peasant girl who grew up in a country village and had never seen the world.

No wonder even the eldest son of the Liu family doted on his newly found sister and personally came forward to ask the Ministry of Justice to take over the case.

"When the case is heard in court, Minister Mei can send someone to deliver a letter to the palace, and I will accompany my sister there then."

Hearing Liu Ziqi's voice, Mei Xuanlang came back to his senses, nodded, and left with his entourage.

Wang Min was dragged by the officers, his face ashen. If his hands had not been tied behind his back, he would have really wanted to scratch his ears, wondering if he had heard it wrongly. How could this Meng Yujiao be the girl from Liu Ci Fu's family!

His heart and lungs were about to vomit blood at this moment. Lin Fang was really killing him!

That was Liu Ci Fu's daughter. Lin Fang was a fool and had no idea what was good for him. How dare he instigate himself to frame Liu Ci Fu's...daughter!

Serves him right! Seriously! If Wang Min could free his hands, he would hit himself on the head. He is showing off his skills in front of Guan Gong, being too smart! He doesn't know his own limits! He deserves to capsize in the gutter!

Not to mention how Wang Min regretted deeply in his heart, Zhang Cong, who had previously boasted that he would arrest Yu Jiao and take her to the government office in the capital, now had a face as pale as paper, as if he had been frightened by a ghost.

At this moment, he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground so as not to be noticed. Unfortunately, the Mu family's house was a wide hall as soon as he entered the house, and there was nowhere to hide.

He had no choice but to walk closer, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying, and apologized to Yu Jiao, "Yu... Miss Liu, I was blind before... I'm sorry for offending you before, please don't hold it against me. I listened to the slander of Doctor Wang and was deceived by him. I mistakenly thought that you were the murderer of the corpse destruction case. I apologize to you. If you are angry, just scold me!"

Zhang Cong really didn't know that Wang Min was the real murderer in this case. He was just a little smart and cautious in his daily life. But whenever the people involved were of some status, he would try to avoid or push away the case.

This time he was blinded by greed. First, he thought it was an insignificant case. Second, he was deceived by Wang Min and thought that Yu Jiao was the real criminal. That's why he thought of arresting her so that he could ask for a reward from Wang Jianzheng.

But this person must not have any despicable thoughts at any time. He is a living example. This greed has caused him to capsize.

Yu Jiao glanced at Zhang Cong indifferently, "How can I deserve your apology, but I think what Minister Mei said just now makes sense. Inspector Zhang must be more careful in the future. Even if it is a small case, you can't be careless. After all, the most important thing for your position is to be fair and strict!"

Zhang Cong smiled cautiously, "Miss Liu is right. I was foolish and shouldn't have trusted others so easily. From now on, I will carefully examine the case and will never wrongly accuse anyone like this again!"

Yu Jiao ignored him. Zhang Cong smiled at Liu Ziqi flatteringly and said, "Young Master Liu, is Elder Liu in good health? Elder Liu is busy all day and works hard. I was stupid and caused such a misunderstanding. I will prepare a gift and send it to Miss Liu to apologize. Please don't let Elder Liu worry about this misunderstanding!"

This Inspector Zhang is now afraid that his father will know about this. Liu Ziqi laughed in anger. He said coldly, "Fortunately, I came in time today, otherwise if I want to see my sister, I'm afraid I will have to go to the prison of the capital's government office."

Zhang Cong felt very bitter. If he offended Liu Ci Fu, there would be many people who could make him, a minor official of the eighth rank, unable to continue his job, even without Liu Ci Fu's personal suppression.
