Chapter 316 Madman
Qi Shuo couldn't help but laugh after hearing Lin Hao's worry: "Don't think too highly of them. Since the Wuning Marquis Mansion came into view during the investigation, it wouldn't be difficult to find a reason to investigate."
The weather was a bit hot, and he was sweating as soon as he walked out of Tianyuan Temple. Qi Shuo advised Lin Hao to go back home first, and he went to find Cheng Maoming, the commander of Jinlin Guard.
After hearing Qi Shuo’s explanation of his purpose, Cheng Maoming agreed immediately.
He often did things for the emperor and knew very well that the emperor did not like the Wuning Marquisate, so it was not difficult for him to help.
Soon, the coachman that Tang Wei used when going out was quietly taken away by the Jinlin Guards, and his mouth was pried open with some torture.
According to the driver, when the second girl was riding home yesterday, she saw a young girl walking hurriedly, so she ordered him to stop, put the girl into the car and took her back to the marquis's mansion.
It turned out that after Tang Wei's incident at Qinglu Temple, her family had arranged for a skilled martial arts maid to be by her side. That maid could easily subdue a delicate girl like Wen Qing. Fortunately, there were no other pedestrians on that stretch of road, and everything happened so quickly that no one saw it.
Knowing that Wen Qing was still in the Wuning Marquis Mansion made the situation easier. Cheng Maoming arranged for his capable subordinates to lead a team, and they knocked on the door of the Wuning Marquis Mansion in the name of searching for spies, and turned the mansion upside down.
Wen Qing was found in a room in Tang Wei's courtyard where miscellaneous items were stored. When she was found, she was huddled in a corner covered by an old screen. She trembled when she heard footsteps, but she could not make any sound because her mouth was blocked.
Lin Hao stood outside the Wuning Marquis Mansion and saw Tang Wei being brought out by the Jinlin Guards, and also saw Wen Qing.
The girl who rushed to her with ulterior motives to ask for money was actually very willing to do anything, but now she was like a frightened bird, and her face—
Lin Hao looked at the scars on Wen Qing's face and clenched his hands tightly at his side.
It's not fun to see people you hate suffer this kind of thing.
She turned her gaze and looked at Tang Wei.
The girl who seemed to be arrogant and domineering was almost as thin as a paper. When she was forced to walk forward, she just lowered her head and did not struggle or resist.
“Wei’er, Wei’er—” The wife of the Marquis of Wuning chased out and pushed the Jinlin Guards who were holding Tang Wei. “Where are you taking my daughter? She can’t be a spy!”
A group of people chased out from behind, and the one running in the front was Marquis Wuning.
As for Wuning Marquis's son Tang Hua, he had just returned from a morning outing. Seeing this scene, he was horrified: "Mother, what's going on?"
After his brother-in-law, the prince, was assassinated in the marquis's mansion, the scene of the government coming to confiscate his property appeared in his dreams many times. No wonder he was almost scared to death when he saw this situation.
The wife of the Marquis of Wuning pointed at the Jinlin Guards who led the team and said, "They insisted that your sister was a spy and wanted to arrest her!"
The sun was about to set, and smoke was rising from each house. When it was time for dinner, more and more people heard the noise and ran out to watch the fun.
Marquis Wuning grabbed his wife's arm and whispered, "Stop making a fuss. Let's get to the bottom of everything first."
By this time he had finally realized that the Jinlin Guard's search for spies was just an excuse, and their real purpose was to find the girl hidden by their daughter.
If this girl was just a commoner, she would have many ways to cover up, but with the intervention of the Jinlin Guard, my daughter could not escape the charge of harboring and abusing a woman.
"But how could they take Wei'er, a girl, away—"
Marquis Wuning's face darkened. "That's enough! If this continues, the entire mansion might be in trouble!"
The wife of Marquis Wuning finally stopped talking.
At this time, a group of yamen runners came over, and among them was a woman. She paused for a moment, then rushed over like crazy: "Qing'er, Qing'er, why are you here? Where have you been, you damn girl? Ah, your face——"
Chang saw the scars on Wen Qing's face and screamed, "Qing'er, what happened to your face?"
Captain Liu, who came with the yamen runners, explained to the leading Jinlin Guards, "This sister-in-law's daughter disappeared yesterday and reported to Shuntian Prefecture. We have been accompanying her to search for her all day."
The leading Jinlin Guard received instructions from Cheng Maoming, cooperated with a few words, and handed Wen Qing and Tang Wei, master and servant, over to Captain Liu.
"Go back to the yamen!" Captain Liu waved his hand.
"Sir, please wait a moment." Marquis Wuning walked over quickly and suggested going to Shuntian Prefecture together.
No matter how bad Tang Wei was, she was a girl after all, and Captain Liu did not refuse the request made by Marquis Wuning.
A lot of people gathered to watch the fun, and Lin Hao stood quietly among them, and no one noticed him for a while.
Qi Shuo came over from nowhere and held her hand: "Do you want to go to the government office together?"
Lin Hao shook his head: "Forget it, Ah Shuo, go ahead. Come back and tell me the truth when you find out."
It is not difficult to guess that Tang Wei's heart was distorted by her disfigurement, which eventually led to murder.
It was getting dark, and the lights in Shuntian Mansion were on. The person in charge of the interrogation was Liu Tui Guan.
The interrogation went surprisingly smoothly.
"Why did you bring her home?" Tang Wei, who had been keeping her head down, looked at Wen Qing intently and actually smiled. "There's no reason. I just find her face offensive."
Wen Qing was entangled by this venomous gaze, and couldn't help screaming, shrinking into Chang's arms.
Seeing her like this, Liu Tuiguan ordered his men to take Chang's mother and daughter away first.
"In other words, you kidnapped Wen Qing for no reason, hid her in your home and abused her?"
Tang Wei suddenly glanced at Qi Shuo, who was listening in, with a nonchalant smile on her face: "I hadn't thought about the reason in detail, but when I saw Prince Jing, I thought of it. I was wondering why Wen Qing was so annoying. It turns out that she looks a bit like Lin Hao."
Liu Tuiguan couldn't help but glance at Qi Shuo and immediately asked, "Do you have a grudge against the Crown Prince's wife?"
"Celebrating a holiday? Not really. I just don't like her."
"Wei'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Marquis Wuning's face turned pale, thinking his daughter was crazy.
"My Lord, please do not interfere with the investigation," Tuiguan Liu warned, and then asked about the matter at Tianyuan Temple. "Did you also kill those two headless female corpses?"
Under the horrified gaze of Marquis Wuning, Tang Wei nodded: "Not bad."
"Tang Wei, are you crazy?" Marquis Wuning raised his hand to hit her, but was stopped by the yamen runners on his left and right.
Tang Wei tilted her head, her eyes inexplicably frightening: "What's wrong with killing them? Who let them humiliate me!"
The hall was silent, with only a few deep voices echoing: "Last year, I accompanied my mother to Tianyuan Temple to burn incense. The wind blew up my veil, and that bitch screamed as if she had seen a ghost. I scratched her face with a hairpin, and then had the maid cut off her head. Finally, she stopped screaming..."
"What about Yan'er?"
"Oh." Tang Wei curled her lips, "She deserves to die even more! She boasted to her friends that she was pretty. I wonder if she can still be pretty after her face is scratched! Hahahaha——"
Tang Wei laughed, and her laughter became louder and louder.
Even though Liu Tuiguan had seen many criminals, he still got goosebumps when he heard the laughter.
This Miss Tang Er is really crazy.
