Chapter 216: Death of Mr. Qi
Cheng Zhaoping was unhappy, especially because Su Huaiyuan slapped him in the face in front of Yu Shengsheng.
But he could only bear it.
Su Huaiyuan has a higher official rank than him, has more power than him, and has more face in front of the emperor than him.
Cheng Zhaoping laughed dryly: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Of course I love Shengsheng. My mother is my uncle, and I love her the most besides you and my sister."
Yu Shengsheng sneered secretly, not even thinking it was disgusting to say this.
Su Huaiyuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and turned to look at Yu Shengsheng: "Are you going out? Do you want someone to protect you?"
His tone was completely different from when he was facing Cheng Zhaoping, and Cheng Zhaoping was angry again.
"No need," Yu Shengsheng bowed, "Leopard is with me, we're just going for a walk."
Su Huaiyuan took off his purse and stuffed it into her hand: "Buy whatever you like, go ahead."
He didn't allow any refusal, and Yu Shengsheng didn't force it, just nodded and left.
Cheng Guangping looked at her back and was secretly annoyed: You little girl, wait until you get married, and I'll show you how I'll deal with you!
"Brother-in-law..."
When he turned around, he saw that Su Huaiyuan had already walked away.
Before Yu Shengsheng arrived at Manager Song's antique shop, she saw a crowd of people surging in front of her, as if they were watching something.
Jin Baobao likes to watch the fun the most: "Miss, shall we go and take a look?"
Before Yu Shengsheng could say anything, someone in the crowd shouted, "Lord Wang is here!"
She looked up and saw that the prefect Wang had arrived with a group of yamen runners.
I’ve been seeing Wang Fuyin quite frequently lately.
Wang Fuyin cleared his throat and walked into the crowd.
There was a dead body on the ground.
Lying face down, one hand on the body and the other hand pressed under the body.
Jin Baobao squeezed his way through to let Yu Shengsheng come over and see.
"Is it him?" Yu Shengsheng was surprised.
"Miss, do you know him?"
"He is Mr. Qi."
Jin Baobao opened his eyes slightly: "He is Qi Gou'er's father?"
After taking another look, Golden Leopard let out an "eh".
"Miss, do you think his death is very similar to that of the man surnamed Wu?"
Yu Shengsheng was surprised and took a closer look. Indeed, the appearance of Qi Yuanwai's death was very similar to that of Wu Da Lian.
This is……
"Sir, this man had his tongue cut off and was stabbed to death several times." The coroner shouted.
There was silence all around at first, then low voices of discussion arose again.
Jin Baobao pinched his throat and said, "He's dead, but he still has his tongue cut off. I don't want him to tell the truth even in the underworld."
"What secret does this person know that he is treated like this?"
"Even after death, they are not allowed to tell the truth. This shows that it is a secret that can influence a person's fate!"
Wang Fuyin looked down at the corpse and thought to himself, this is really weird, why are there so many strange cases like this recently? And they are all caused by the intervention of Zhen Qu Lou.
When Wang Fuyin thought of Hei Bai's smiling face when he talked to him, his heart skipped a beat.
Forget it. He couldn’t control the affairs of Zhenqiao Tower. He didn’t want to and didn’t dare to control it.
Just do what they say.
Wang Fuyin looked at the unfamiliar face of Qi Yuanwai and asked in surprise, "Isn't this Qi Zhuangyuan's father? He just accompanied Qi Zhuangyuan to take away the body of Qi Zhuangyuan's biological mother, Yu, yesterday."
The bailiff beside him nodded: "Yes, it's him, that's right."
Wang Fuyin asked, "Where is Qi Zhuangyuan? Invite him over."
Qi Mubai hardly slept last night. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Yu bleeding from all seven orifices. She scolded him fiercely, saying that he was a rebellious son who could kill his mother and would definitely go to hell.
He burned incense and candles all night, burned a pile of paper money, and copied some scriptures and burned them all together, causing smoke to rise in the house.
The father and son lived in a small courtyard that they rented temporarily. Mr. Qi didn't take Yu's death to heart at all. He was dazzled by the prosperity of the capital city. He went out for a walk as soon as he settled down and did not return all night.
He was just about to take a nap, thinking that he would discuss it with his father after waking up, and that Yu had to be buried in peace as soon as possible.
As Yu was a concubine, she could not be buried in the Qi family's ancestral tomb. It would be time-consuming, laborious and costly to bring her back, so they simply found a place outside the city to bury her.
Bury early and live well.
But when he woke up, he didn't see his father, but saw the yamen runners instead.
When he saw Mr. Qi's body, he was stunned.
Yu Shengsheng looked at Qi Mubai in a daze, feeling no emotion in her heart, only a chill in her teeth.
He was also secretly glad that he was not with Qi Mubai, otherwise, if this man became cruel in the future, who knows what he might do.
The death of Yu must be related to Qi Mubai.
Wang Fuyin didn't even want to keep the smile on his face: "Zhuangyuan, come and identify him, is this man your father?"
Qi Mubai's throat rolled slightly, but he didn't say anything, just nodded.
Wang Fuyin asked again: "You and your son went to claim the body yesterday. Shouldn't you be holding a funeral for your biological mother? Why is he here? Where was he last night?"
Qi Mubai looked bewildered: "This... Sir, I don't know. My father had just come to the capital and said he wanted to look around. I was heartbroken because my biological mother passed away suddenly, so I didn't ask too many questions and just let him go. Who knows..."
"Sir, please find out the truth about my father's death and avenge him."
Wang Fuyin chuckled and said, "It is my duty to investigate the case and track down the murderer."
"However, we still need to find out where he was last night, who he met, and why his tongue was cut off. No. 1 Scholar, if I remember correctly, when Wu Da Lian was killed by your biological mother Yu, it was also in this way."
The crowd was shocked.
Qi Mubai's expression changed slightly: "Sir, what do you mean by that?"
"It's meaningless. We should ask questions when investigating the case," said Wang Fuyin, without changing his expression. "The champion is extremely smart. Don't you find it strange?"
Qi Mubai naturally felt strange, but who on earth was this? He was really confused.
Yu Shengsheng was in the crowd and could conclude that the person who killed Qi Yuanwai should be related to the person who killed Wu Damian. It seemed that he did it just to make trouble for Qi Mubai and throw dirty water on him.
Who could it be?
Just at this moment, a female voice sounded: "Sir, I know where this person was last night."
Yu Shengsheng turned her head and saw a young woman who was dressed gorgeously and smelled fragrant. Judging from her headdress and appearance, she must be a prostitute.
The woman was not shy and stepped forward to greet him: "Sir, this man stayed at my place last night. When he was leaving, he had an argument with someone and was dragged away. He didn't even have time to give me the money."
Yu Shengsheng opened her eyes wide - I didn’t expect this.
Mr. Qi just arrived and he's already going to visit a brothel?
Jin Baobao held back his laughter and said in a pinched voice: "Tsk tsk, the number one scholar is really gifted. The mother of a concubine and the father of a playboy."
"Could it be that the mouse's son can dig holes?"
Everyone laughed.
Qi Mu’s face turned pale and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Prefect Wang waved his hand, and the bailiffs came forward and turned over Mr. Qi's body. He also had a handkerchief in his hand, which was pressed underneath.
The bailiff handed it to him, and Prefect Wang unfolded it, and saw two bloody words on it.
Help!
The brothel girl suddenly pointed at Qi Mubai and said, "It was him. He was the one who dragged this person away last night!"
