027 Misunderstanding
Feng Qingchen felt that he was really frustrated.
If you get into this hellhole, anyone you offend will be a big shot. Those people can humiliate you if they want to, or kill you if they want to. You don't have to worry about breaking the law at all.
Dongling Ziluo was one, the Queen was one, Su Wenqing was one, and now this Shuntianfu Yi is one.
How unlucky is she to have offended so many powerful people?
ah……
Feng Qingchen even wanted to kill someone.
Zhou Xing was not aware of Feng Qingchen's anger. His face was red and his eyes were flickering. He did not dare to look at Feng Qingchen and shook his head instinctively: "No, no, I don't know."
At this time, Zhou Xing remembered the scandal about Feng Qingchen at the city gate a few days ago.
It’s not that Zhou Xing doesn’t remember things, it’s just that Feng Qingchen’s self-assured demeanor makes it impossible to associate her with the rumored “Miss Feng”.
No woman can laugh or jump when faced with such a thing. Feng Qingchen is really an outlier.
Zhou Xing nodded vigorously, affirming his own statement. When he reached the peak of his life and looked back on the past, he realized that his original evaluation was too low standard. Feng Qingchen was not an alien, but a monster.
When a great Qing dynasty encountered such a thing, no matter how bold Feng Qingchen was, he had to be cautious. However, seeing Zhou Xing's worried look, Feng Qingchen was kind enough to comfort him:
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Tell them to wait for me. I'll change my clothes and go out."
You can be embarrassed in front of your family, but you cannot be rude in front of outsiders.
She treated Zhou Xing as a family member.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhou Xing looked at Feng Qingchen worriedly and ran out like a flash.
At the same time, he secretly decided in his heart that he must buy a maid, otherwise he would not dare to come to the inner courtyard in the future.
Feng Qingchen changed his clothes and came to the hall, where he saw two familiar faces: "Hey, why are you here again?"
"Hehe!" The two officers smiled innocently and stood up immediately.
These two people were the officials who came to Feng Mansion in Tianshang and asked Feng Qingchen to claim the corpse.
"What do you want from me?" Feng Qingchen said calmly.
There was no way. Looking at the looks of the two officers, Feng Qingchen estimated that he must have guessed wrong. If it was really the father of that Master Yan who took action, these officers would not be so polite.
Dongling Ziluo, well, I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you just now.
Feng Qingchen said silently in his heart.
Huju. Huju.
Outside the imperial city, Dong Ling Zi Luo stood in front of the crowd, rubbing his nose constantly.
"Your Highness?" The guard behind him quickly moved aside to block Dong Ling Ziluo, looking panicked.
General Yuwen defeated the Nanling Dynasty and returned in triumph. Today, he moved his troops back to the capital. The Ninth Prince led all the civil and military officials to welcome him outside the city gate.
If something went wrong at this time, it would be disrespectful to the meritorious officials. If the civil servants reported it, even if he was the emperor's most beloved prince, he would be in trouble.
"It's okay." Dong Ling Ziluo waved his hand, but thought to himself, he was not sick or in pain, could it be that someone was scolding him?
Then, Feng Qingchen's shadow unfortunately appeared in Dong Ling Ziluo's mind.
Just as Dongling Ziluo was thinking about this possibility, a messenger came to report that General Yuwen's army was still twenty miles away from the city gate.
Dong Ling Ziluo quickly straightened himself up and collected his thoughts.
…
Feng Qingchen calmly sat in the main seat, picked up the cup on the table and started drinking, not thinking that being visited by the officials was a big deal.
Zhou Xing nodded secretly. This woman had a really good psychological quality. She was obviously worried that Shuntianfu Yi would cause trouble for her, but she remained calm.
If he had the same mentality as Feng Qingchen, perhaps he would not have ended up like this.
Alas...it’s the time and the fate.
Zhou Xing shook his head and stepped back silently. As a lowly person, he still felt psychological pressure to meet the official.
"Didn't you say it was urgent? Just tell me what you want to talk to me about." Feng Qingchen took the initiative to speak after seeing that the two officers had not spoken for a long time.
The two officers looked at each other. The older one hesitated for a moment and stood up: "Miss Feng, I came here to ask for your help."
"Help? How can I help you?" Feng Qingchen looked up in surprise.
However, I felt relieved.
It seems that Mr. Yan's father doesn't have the courage to touch her, and this scumbag Dong Ling Zi Luo still has some credibility.
Hmm…
Mou Luo is in tragedy again.
A look of shame flashed across the officer's face, and he spoke in a stammering voice.
It turned out that Shuntian Prefecture received a murder case early this morning. The two-month-old eldest son of the second branch of the Xie family died, and the murderer was suspected to be the second branch's wife.
The so-called eldest son out of wedlock is the first boy born to a concubine or a side wife instead of the principal wife.
A typical tragedy of a wealthy family where the wife cannot tolerate the son of a concubine and ends up killing him.
Although the second branch of the Xie family does not have much power, the Xie family is a centuries-old family. It is even older than the Dongling Dynasty, which was founded less than a hundred years ago.
Although such a family is low-key, it is quite powerful, with many branches and connections in all walks of life. In addition to the Xie family, there is also a Wang family in Dongling, which is also a century-old family.
The upbringing of the legitimate sons and daughters of the Wang and Xie families was no worse than that of the princes and princesses.
The Minister of Revenue of the Dongling Dynasty was from the Xie family, and Concubine Xian, one of the four concubines, was also from the Xie family.
As soon as the case was reported, Shuntian Prefecture immediately opened a trial, but after a long time of trial, no conclusion was reached.
The concubine insisted that the last person to see the child was the legal wife. The doctor could also testify that the child was healthy, and the coroner's autopsy also concluded that the child died of suffocation.
Logically, there were both witnesses and evidence, but the wife refused to admit it. No amount of torture worked. She was a weak woman who was beaten until she was only breathing her last, but she still refused to sign the document to authenticate it.
The second wife was not someone without a background either. She was from the Wang family's side branch. Whenever something happened, her maid would go to the Wang family to take charge.
Now the situation is happy.
A murder case ended up being a dispute over the reputation of the Wang and Xie families.
Yi from Shuntian Prefecture was in a dilemma. He wanted to go to the palace to report the matter, but he remembered that General Yuwen would be returning to the court today. If he reported the matter, he would probably lose his official hat.
Just when he didn't know what to do, his men suddenly mentioned Feng Qingchen and told him in detail what happened in the morgue that day.
Su Wenqing had already explained this matter long ago and it must not be spread outside.
But even though they had to confess, the officers would never let go of the opportunity to make meritorious service.
So, Lord Fu Yi, as if he had found his last straw, quickly asked the officials to ask Feng Qingchen for help.
And I repeatedly told them to be polite, as polite as possible, but to make sure the guests came.
"What is the surname of Lord Yi in your mansion?" After hearing this, Feng Qingchen asked a question that was irrelevant to the matter.
Although the official was surprised, he still answered politely: "The official's surname is Wei, his given name is Xueliang, and his courtesy name is..."
"Okay, no need to say more." Feng Qingchen waved his hand to interrupt when he heard that the person's surname was not Yan.
"Lord Wei? How can he be the governor of Shuntian Prefecture?
"Five days ago, the former Shuntian Prefecture Yi Shi, Lord Yan, was sent out." The official guessed vaguely and quickly told Feng Qingchen what he wanted to know.
"Oh..." Feng Qingchen nodded, stood up, and bowed to the two officers: "Two officers, I understand the situation, but I'm sorry, I can't help, I'm not a coroner. The matter of the second son of the Su family is purely a matter of chance. Two officers, take care, I won't see you off."
She is a surgeon, not a forensic doctor. She can only cure illnesses and save lives, but she cannot perform autopsies or judge cases.
If the person is alive, there is no problem for her to go, but if the person is dead, what help can she provide?
Besides, this is obviously a thankless task, and no matter what the result is, she will offend one party.
The newly appointed Lord Wei did not dare to offend the Wang and Xie families, so he let Feng Qingchen be the first to take action.
Humph... Do you really think that she, Feng Qingchen, is a brainless girl in the boudoir?
Feng Qingchen rolled his eyes in annoyance.
She would rather die than get involved in today's matter. If she is not careful, she will get into trouble.
Unfortunately, how could the things in this world be as Feng Qingchen intended...
