Chapter 47 The Fifth Master Killed Someone
Today is not a day off, as those on duty usually return home for dinner, so besides the children, there are only female relatives in Fu Shou Tang at this time. When they first heard these words, they were stunned.
Old Madam Qin regained her composure in an instant, pressed her hand down, and signaled Third Madam to calm down.
"Tell us quickly, where did the Fifth Young Master beat someone up and how do we know he was killed? Order someone to prepare the car and we will rush there immediately." Old Madam Qin gave orders in an orderly manner.
"Right in front of the teahouse in the East Market, a woman was molested. The Fifth Young Master saw the injustice and taught the scoundrel a lesson. Who would have thought that he would fall to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose. Then someone shouted that the Young Master of Wuning Marquis Mansion had beaten someone to death!"
The servant gave a brief account of what had happened. By then the carriage was ready and Mrs. Du stopped Madam Qin.
"Mother, let my daughter-in-law and my third brother's wife go together, and bring Qianqian with them. Also, have someone go to the government office to inform my third brother and Hanzhang. You don't have to go out yourself."
Old Madam Qin nodded and urged them to hurry over without delay.
At this time, Su Qianqian took the excuse of changing clothes and hurried into the space to get some medicinal materials with hemostatic and cardiotonic effects. She quickly put them into the automatic ion separation crusher and connected them to the extraction equipment. The time showed that the extraction would be completed after one hour.
[Half an hour, I don't know if it's too late. If the person is still alive, I can only delay him with physical means. My first aid skills should still be able to help. If the person is already dead, then there's no point in saying anything. 】
Sitting in the carriage, Su Qianqian was thinking secretly. Du and Meng beside her looked at each other. Qin Yuzhuo, who insisted on coming along, only stared at Su Qianqian. For some reason, she felt inexplicably at ease.
The carriage galloped all the way and soon arrived at the street not far from the East Market Teahouse. The area in front of the teahouse was already surrounded by crowds of people, and the spacious streets in the East Market became narrow and difficult to navigate.
The four people got off the car, and the servants and retainers cleared the way and led them over.
"Here they come, they are the women of the Marquis's Mansion. Did they kill someone and let the women take care of it?"
"So what? Young Marquis Wuning has made great achievements in battle. Even the princes have to give in. The Qin family killing an ordinary citizen is like stepping on an ant. It's no big deal!"
"Don't talk nonsense. If you are caught and taken to the government office, you will be beaten!"
"That's right, don't talk about it, I still need to keep this head for food!"
…
Amidst the discussions, a passage was made through the crowd. The four Du family members walked through calmly, but the scene they saw was very strange.
Qing Feng stood in front of Qin Hanjin with a protective look on his face. A man was lying on the ground beside him. His clothes were tattered and his face and clothes were covered in blood. His features could not be seen clearly. Another man with blood on his hands was kneeling beside him, crying and shouting.
A pretty young woman stood aside, cowering with her head slightly lowered, neatly dressed, her eyes slightly red, looking aggrieved.
What was most puzzling was that a dozen runners from the City Patrol Office stood nearby with their swords in hand, neither stepping forward to inquire nor interfering with the treatment of the injured. They simply kept the onlookers at a certain distance, as if they were waiting for someone.
"The Wuning Marquisate doesn't have to pay for killing someone, my poor brother! Who will stand up for us common people..." The man howled in a dry voice.
"Don't talk nonsense! He molested a woman and committed a crime. Everyone should help when seeing injustice. I just punched him. How can I say he killed me?"
Seeing that his aunt and mother had come, Qin Hanjin couldn't help but frown and explain.
"How can his body withstand the fists of your generals? This is murder! Who can give us justice? My brother died in vain..."
The man cried loudly, but he didn't care about the man on the ground.
"Stop for a moment. The time for crying is yet to come."
Su Qianqian spoke to the man in a low voice, but it made the man stop crying. His triangular eyes rolled around as he secretly looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.
[My lady, the Fifth Young Master has been framed by someone. The person is a professional scammer. The pig blood is smeared evenly on his face.
The person lying on the ground can hold his breath, and if you sniff his breath, you will definitely think he is dead. People like this only target stupid guys who have a lot of money but poor brains. 】
The lazy baby voice of the system was obviously questioning Qin Hanjin's IQ.
Qin Hanjin's eyes widened with anger and his fists clenched again.
[If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been so anxious. This stupid boy should be taught a lesson. 】
Su Qianqian glanced at Qin Hanjin and walked up to the bailiffs: "Are you guys here to investigate a case?"
One of the older ones quickly bowed respectfully and said with great tact, "Madam, we heard that there was a murder case and came to investigate. We didn't know that it was the young master of the Marquisate who made the mistake..."
"Why didn't you check the victim's injuries? If he was still alive, send him to the doctor. If he was dead, find a coroner to examine his injuries and record them? And why didn't you take him to the government office?"
"Well... we still have to obey the orders of our superiors..."
"Due to the delay during this period, the victim lost his life. Who will be held responsible for this?"
When Su Qianqian asked this question, those people quietly took half a step back.
"Why don't you check to see if the victim is still alive? If he is really dead, immediately find a coroner to perform an autopsy on the spot. If it is not an emergency and it is an accidental injury by someone from our mansion, our Qin family will never shirk responsibility. We will pay the money if necessary and pay the life if necessary."
Su Qianqian gave the order in a cold voice, and the yamen runners were actually intimidated by the aura of this superior, and actually moved to check it out.
When they heard that an autopsy was going to be performed, the person lying on the ground grunted, indicating that he was still alive. The bailiff retreated angrily.
"My fellow elders, please see that your brother is not dead yet. Should we send him to the hospital or have some argument?" Su Qianqian asked the wretched man who was kneeling and wiping his tears.
"My brother is lucky enough to survive. You, the Marquis' Mansion, are relying on your wealth and want to get rid of us..." the man rolled his eyes and continued.
"You are wrong. Every penny we earn in our mansion is earned with our lives. Not everyone is worthy of receiving it. Since you are not in a hurry to send a doctor, it means your brother's life is safe. Let's talk about it."
Su Qianqian raised her voice to the onlookers, not noticing that Qin Hanzhang and the Third Master had already gone outside the crowd.
"Hanjin, why did you hit the person on the ground?" Su Qianqian turned to Qin Hanjin.
"This man flirted with this girl in the street, and the girl asked me for help. I was outraged and tried to stop him. He insulted me, so I punched him. He dodged but fell to the ground, and then..."
[How stupid! How could you not know whether you hit anyone or not? Since you didn't hit anyone, just drag him up and take him to see the authorities if he falls down. Why let them pester you? 】
The system mocked again.
[No, since we didn't hit him, then we can just delay the fight and then fight again. This is the correct way to solve the problem and make ourselves the ones to take the blame. 】Su Qianqian retorted.
Qin Family: I am so lucky not to have met you...
"Miss, this man flirted with you, and you asked this gentleman for help. Then this man insulted him. Did you hear it?" Su Qianqian asked the young woman again.
The woman bit her lip for a while and cried, "This is my fiancé. We had some disagreements, but this young man suddenly came and beat him up. How can I face people in the future?"
The people present had different expressions. The man kneeling on the ground lowered his head and sneered.
