Chapter 217 Are you saying that I am taking human life lightly?!
The night was dark and the streets were empty.
The back door of Luo's house opened quietly and then closed quietly.
After a while, two people carried a corpse and threw it into the room that had been prepared.
Zhu Mingqing and others then stepped in.
The coroner had already been found.
“Trouble!”
This is a coroner in Guancheng Charity Cemetery. Because he has six fingers, he is considered unlucky and works as a low-ranking servant.
The coroner was just one of Six Fingers's men.
He nodded, wrapped himself tightly, and let the others leave.
Outside the house, time passed by little by little.
Luo Fu paced back and forth restlessly, and the atmosphere became a little tense.
"Sit still!" Zhu Mingqing frowned.
Luo Fu looked at Brother Wen, then at her calm mother, both of whom were sitting quietly.
Why aren't they in a hurry at all?
What if that person was not murdered by the Xu family?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Mingqing said calmly: "No one else, only the Xu family!"
And there is only one of them!
Luo Fu gradually understood what her mother meant and was shocked. Was she planning to find a scapegoat for her third brother?
Hmm!
She realized she had spoken out loud again, so she quickly and carefully covered her mouth, lowered her head and dared not speak.
Zhu Mingqing glanced at her and said, "If it weren't the Xu family, then things would be simple!"
Magistrate Liu loves money, so he gave a sum of money, which is enough to keep Luo Xiao safe!
But the reality is that Magistrate Liu had already sent people to watch secretly, and if that person had an attack, he would immediately take people to capture Luo Xiao!
I don’t know if he is safe in prison now!
“Crack—”
The door opened.
Six Fingers came out.
He looked at Zhu Mingqing and said, "Madam, the deceased did die from the juice of thunder god vine!"
Zhu Mingqing clenched his fingers slightly and said, "I understand. This is silver. I hope Mr. Six Fingers will keep today's incident a secret."
Six Fingers, who looked like a skinny monkey, was stunned.
gentlemen?
Calling him?
He didn't react until he walked out of the back door of Luo's house.
He turned his head and looked at the house behind him.
Then I thought about the murder case that caused a lot of controversy during the day.
It seems that Guancheng is going to be bustling for a while.
In the courtyard, Zhu Mingqing had the body put away and put a lot of ice in the house to preserve the body from spoiling.
Only after finding someone guarding the door did I leave with peace of mind.
"Mom, what are we going to do tomorrow?" On the way back to the room, Luo Fu followed her mother and asked about tomorrow's plan.
Zhu Mingqing: "Beat the drum to protest!"
Luo Fu was incredulous: "But Magistrate Liu might be in cahoots with the Xu family."
"Yes, Madam, should we wait a little longer?" Wen Baolu said, "As long as we can contact Lord He Shu and confirm the safety of the Third Young Master, we can make a long-term plan."
Zhu Mingqing shook his head: "Can't wait!"
The longer the time, the greater the room for maneuver for the other party!
"Don't worry, I've come back from the provincial capital and have asked Prince Huai's mansion for help." She said finally, then lowered her head and gave Wen Baolu a few instructions.
The second day.
When the sky brightened, Prince Luo also learned what happened last night.
Just as the group was about to leave the house, He Shu sent someone to deliver the news.
"Safe? Haha, good, that's great!" Old Prince Luo looked at the messenger and wanted to go up and give him a big hug.
"That's great, Third Brother is fine." Luo Fu excitedly hugged her mother, but after she came to her senses, she quickly let go and stepped behind her.
Zhu Mingqing pinched his fingers slightly, and when he was leaving the house, he accidentally fell behind someone and looked around uncomfortably.
Still not used to being so close to people!
Luo Fu, who just turned around to help her mother, saw this scene, and the joy in her heart immediately dropped to the lowest point!
…
Outside the prefectural government office.
A carriage stopped and several people got off slowly. One of them was a woman who stood in front of the drum and started beating it vigorously.
This move immediately attracted many people to come and watch.
In the government office, Prefect Liu was in a very bad mood early in the morning. He was planning to find He Shu to argue with him, but then he heard the sound of drums outside!
The bailiff trotted in and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, the Luo family is outside right now. They claim that someone was murdered at Huaxiang Tower and there was an injustice. I hope your Excellency will seek justice!"
"not see!"
Magistrate Liu waved goodbye and was about to leave!
Doesn’t he know whether he has been wronged or not?
The people he used told him.
"But... there are already quite a few onlookers," the yamen runner said cautiously. "When I came in, Madam Zhu said that if the Lord refused to hear the case, they would go to the capital to seek an explanation even without an imperial decree!"
Magistrate Liu scowled coldly and slammed the table!
The threat came to his head.
"And..." the yamen runner took a breath, "the magistrate's wife is outside too."
Damn it!
After getting rid of Wang Tongpan, his wife came to join in the fun!
Magistrate Liu almost burst into a curse, but fortunately he remembered that there were outsiders around, so he said in a solemn voice: "I am not feeling well today..."
Before he could finish his words, the yamen runner immediately shouted, "Sir!"
"What are you yelling about? I'm not deaf!"
The yamen runner closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "Lord He said that if you're not feeling well, he'll make an exception and act like a parent!"
Magistrate Liu: ...
Magistrate Liu almost couldn't breathe and fainted!
Fortunately, he pinched himself in time.
If He Shu were to try the case, what would the point of holding a court session be? He might just acquit Luo Xiao directly!
"Someone, open the hall!"
Magistrate Liu gritted his teeth and said.
…
Zhu Mingqing walked in front, followed closely by Luo Fu and Prince Luo.
No one else was allowed in.
The crowd of people gathered together, wanting to see what injustice had taken place in this murder case.
"In my opinion, Huaxianglou is a disregard for human life. They don't even know if there's any injustice. Maybe they're just looking for someone to take the blame!"
"It's hard to say. The Luo family is not ordinary. I heard they have a very powerful background."
"Lord Liu is the most fair and strict, Hua Xianglou, don't even think about escaping!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on the person who spoke.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Some people couldn't help but roll their eyes. Fair and strict?
I think you said that because you are a relative of the Liu family.
"Make way, make way!" Mrs. Wu squeezed in and started scolding the person who had just said that the Luo family was a bad person. She didn't look like the dignified lady she used to be. She made the person cover his ears and shut up!
"Who's making so much noise?!"
The angry roar of Prefect Liu was heard from inside.
Wu was afraid of being driven away, so she immediately stopped talking.
The crowd watching the excitement also quieted down.
In the lobby.
After going through the process, we started to get down to business.
"Who is here? What grievances have you suffered? Report them immediately!"
"I am Luo Xiao's biological mother. The poison that the deceased in Huaxiang Tower was poisoned with was not caused by the Luo family, but was deliberately murdered by the shopkeeper Xu in Tianxiang Tower!" Zhu Mingqing said directly.
"Ridiculous!" Magistrate Liu angrily said, "Are you saying that I'm confusing right and wrong and taking human lives?!"
Zhu Mingqing looked calm and said in a resounding voice, "Yes!"
boom--
The onlookers were excited and talked about it.
