Chapter 325 Yun Feiluan is sentenced to beheaded
Xia Shu was a little reluctant to burn down Renxin Medical Clinic.
She and her father spent more than ten days to decorate this clinic with their own hands.
But what Qi Shuyan said makes sense, safety is more important than anything else.
She nodded and went to the backyard to explain the situation to her father Xia Chuanbai.
The father and daughter quickly packed the herbs and luggage.
The killer looked at the dagger stuck in his heart and spoke carefully.
"Master Qi, can you please take the dagger away? If I die, you will have no witness."
Qi Shuyan flicked the handle of the dagger with his fingers.
The vibration of the dagger made the killer's injuries even more serious. He grimaced in pain and his face turned pale.
"Don't worry, you won't die for now."
After that, he asked about the situation in the black market.
Every state and county has shady businesses, so there is a black market.
The black market is necessary, but it must be regulated!
The killer didn't dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia's parents had packed up.
Qi Shuyan grabbed the killer and said to Xia Chuanbai, "Uncle, pour some oil on it and burn it."
Xia Chuanbai looked around the clinic reluctantly and poured oil on the fire.
With the help of oil, the fire grew bigger in an instant.
When the neighbors discovered the fire, it was already too late to put it out and they could only call the police.
The errand boy that Yun Feiluan had the maid find was hiding in another alley.
After confirming that Renxin Clinic was on fire, he immediately went to the place where he had agreed to meet the maid to get the remaining silver.
By the way, get your own errand fee.
The place where the two met was in the north of the city, where all kinds of people mixed.
If anything unexpected happens, it will be easy to escape.
But he didn't know that he had been targeted by Qi Shuyan's people for a long time.
Yun Feiluan's maid did not show up, but asked someone else to deliver the silver to the errand boy.
The errand boy had no idea that the silver was coated with poison, so he counted it and took it away.
On the way to meet the killer, he greedily touched and touched the silver again and again, and bit the silver with his teeth.
As a result, as soon as he met the killer, he vomited blood and died.
The killer looked at the runner's purple lips and knew that he had died of poisoning.
Qi Shuyan's men emerged from the darkness and said, "Master, this man has bitten the silver. I'm afraid the silver is coated with poison."
These words brought an angry look to the killer's pale face.
"Murder to silence the witness!"
These four words have always been what he does, but he never expected that one day they would be used on himself.
Qi Shuyan kicked the breathless errand runner and sneered.
"Do you think you can get away with it by killing someone and silencing them? How naive!"
After saying this, he handed the assassin over to his subordinate and asked him to take him to the prefectural government to explain the situation.
And he went to settle the Xia family father and daughter.
Qi Shuyan has several houses in Tianshan County.
Since there were only two people in the Xia family, he chose a house that was closer to the main street but relatively smaller in size.
"Uncle, Ah Shu, you will live here from now on. I will arrange for two servants to come over tomorrow."
Xia Chuanbai quickly rejected Qi Shuyan's kindness.
"Shuyan, Shu'er and I don't like to be served, so don't arrange for servants. Also, I'll give you as much silver as you want for this house."
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out the banknotes he had saved over the years.
Qi Shuyan grabbed Xia Chuanbai's hand.
"Uncle, we will soon be a family. Please don't be polite to me. This house will be considered as one of my betrothal gifts to the Shangshu."
"No, let's keep things separate."
"If uncle insists, then I won't persuade you anymore. When I propose marriage, I will buy ten houses like this and give them to Ah Shu."
Xia Chuanbai: “…”
Xia Shu looked at her father who didn't know how to respond and said, "Dad, listen to A Yan."
After that, she asked, "Ayan, how is the killer?"
"It has been sent to the prefectural government. Lord Xiao will be busy tonight, but the trial will be held tomorrow."
Xia Chuanbai: "Can we postpone the marriage proposal?"
Qi Shuyan shook his head, "Uncle, tomorrow is a good day, and the proposal of marriage will proceed as usual."
He bowed to Xia Chuanbai as a junior.
"Uncle, my parents will come to visit you at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow."
It is said to be a marriage proposal, but in fact it is a formal meeting between the elders of both parties to discuss the wedding date.
We will choose an auspicious date and time later to perform the three books and six ceremonies.
Xia Chuanbai nodded and said, "I will be waiting here."
"Uncle, Ah Shu, although this house is vacant, it has everything you need for daily life. I'll take you to get familiar with it."
After Qi Shuyan took the Xia father and daughter around the house, he burned charcoal in both of their rooms.
"This house has been unused for a long time and is too cold. Wait until the charcoal fire drives away the chill before you rest. Otherwise, you will easily catch a cold."
"I'll make some ginger tea for you to drink before bed."
After Xia Shu finished speaking, she sent Qi Shuyan out.
After leaving the house, Qi Shuyan said, "I have arranged people around the house, so you can rest assured."
"Okay, it's cold and the road is slippery, walk slowly."
"Well, come in, it's cold outside."
Qi Shuyan did not return to the Qi Mansion, but went to the prefectural government.
Sure enough, it was just as he expected.
The prefectural government was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
The killer wants to kill the fiancée of the eldest son of the Qi family. This is a big deal and must be investigated as soon as possible to find out the mastermind behind it.
Qi Shuyan's arrival made Xiao He feel more pressured.
Without waiting for Qi Shuyan to speak, he immediately made the promise.
"Don't worry, Master Qi. I will arrest the real culprit in three days at most."
"Lord Xiao is a master at solving cases. Qi respectfully awaits good news."
After Qi Shuyan finished speaking, he took out a silver note worth fifty taels and handed it to Xiao He.
"Sir Xiao, the officials have worked hard tonight. When you are done, go have some tea. I'll treat you."
After some refusal, Xiao He accepted it.
After Qi Shuyan put pressure and benefits on the prefectural government, he returned to the Qi Mansion.
At this time, Yun Feiluan had already learned that the killer had been caught by the prefecture.
She paced back and forth anxiously, her still charming face wrinkled.
Guo Tingting was even more at a loss.
She forgot that the tea in the cup was freshly poured and was very hot, so she drank it in one gulp.
"puff!"
As a result, my mouth was burned and blistered, and my throat was almost damaged.
"Mom, it hurts!"
Yun Feiluan was sprayed in the face by the scalding tea.
Fortunately, after passing through Guo Tingting's mouth, it was not so hot anymore, otherwise it would have been disfigured.
She was so angry that she yelled, "Can you be more obedient?"
Guo Tingting felt extremely aggrieved, tears streaming down her face.
"Mom, why are you yelling at me? It's not me who caused the plan to fail!"
Her mouth was full of blisters, a few of which burst while she was talking, and she grimaced in pain.
Yun Feiluan felt very distressed when she saw that her daughter was severely burned.
"Mom will take you to see a doctor."
Guo Tingting shook her head, "I won't go, just get some ice cubes to hold in your mouth."
She didn't dare go out to see a doctor, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the eldest wife of the Qi family.
If he wasn't guilty and panicked, how could he have been scalded by the hot tea?
Yun Feiluan asked a maid to go to the corridor in the yard to get some icicles hanging down, break them into pieces, and give them to her daughter to hold in her mouth.
"Tingting, Qi Shuyan will definitely come looking for us, but we can't show our weakness. We must pretend that we know nothing and let the maid take care of it!"
Compared to the maids, the mother and daughter are more valuable to the ancestor!
Guo Tingting thought so too.
But Qi Shuyan was quite crazy, and she was worried that he would do something secretly.
"Mom, do you have any idea to make it a done deal between me and Brother Qi?"
If Yun Feiluan had a way to plot against Qi Shuyan, she would have done it long ago.
She shook her head. "We can't act rashly now. We need to take it one step at a time."
***
The next day.
Qi Shuyan got up early in the morning.
After he counted the gifts he brought to the Xia family, he added some more things.
Seeing him busying around, Madam Qi teased him, "Why, do you think the gifts mother prepared are not good enough?"
"Mom, you misunderstood. After what happened last night, I have to compensate the Xia family more."
"You are right. If we hadn't noticed it earlier, Shu'er and her father would have been in trouble."
After the old lady finished speaking, she glanced in the direction of the second room.
"Once we have discussed the marriage proposal with the Xia family, we can solve this problem of the second house."
Qi Shuyan thought so too.
He asked, "Mom, what does Dad think of the second wife?"
The ancestor is Mr. Qi’s biological mother, so it would be more difficult to make a choice.
Madam Qi smiled and said, "Your father is on our side, and after the family division, he can still be filial to your grandmother."
We just live separately. If you miss me, just go and visit me.
Qi Shuyan nodded, "Why hasn't Dad come out yet?"
"He wants to leave a good impression on his future in-laws, so he's still getting dressed and will be out soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Qi came out.
He was a little fat when he was in the capital, but after the suffering of exile, he lost a lot of weight.
Now he looks imposing and the traces of time on his face add a mature charm to him.
After the three of them had a simple breakfast, they went to meet the Xia father and daughter.
Since both families wanted their children to get married as soon as possible, the marriage discussions went particularly smoothly.
Based on Qi Shuyan and Xia Shu's birth dates, they discussed an auspicious day that was closest to the date.
April 18th.
There are nearly three months left, enough time to prepare for the wedding.
Some details about the three books and six ceremonies were discussed by the elders of the two families.
Qi Shuyan and Xia Shu went to the prefectural government.
Based on the information provided by the killer and by investigating the deceased errand runner, Xiao He found Yun Feiluan's maid.
The maid took the responsibility of hiring a killer to commit murder.
"The eldest son is handsome and talented, how can a divorced woman dream of him!"
"Regret? I do regret it. I regret that my plan wasn't perfect enough and I failed to kill that divorced woman!"
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let that bitch go!"
The maid yelled until she was hoarse, then rammed against the pillar of the court.
Qi Shuyan, who was watching outside the court, stopped the maid.
"If you tell the truth, I will let your family go, or you will be reunited in the underworld soon."
The ancestor used the maid's family to threaten her and made her admit to hiring a killer.
But now Qi Shuyan is threatening her like this...
"You should know clearly which one of the Qi family's first and second branches is stronger. I will give you a chance to choose."
After Qi Shuyan finished speaking, he threw the maid to the ground.
"Also, I know who is behind this. Whether you tell the truth or not will not affect their outcome."
The maid fell heavily to the ground and groaned in pain.
“Bang!”
Xiao He slammed the gavel hard.
"Sinner Chun Xing, do you have anything else to say?"
After hesitating for a long time, Chun Xing finally made up her mind and told the truth, revealing that Yun Feiluan was the mastermind.
Soon, Yun Feiluan was brought to the court.
Of course she refused to admit it.
"Sir, I am innocent. This maid is just talking nonsense and making groundless accusations!"
Chun Xing threw her head to the ground, "Your Excellency, I am only a maid in the Qi family. I get two taels of silver a month. How can I get together five hundred and five taels to hire someone to kill someone?"
Five hundred taels are for the killer, and five taels are for the errand boy.
When she took all the blame, she said that she had stolen the large sum of money.
Now that she has changed her mind, the prefecture can start with this money and continue digging deeper.
Five hundred taels is not a small amount of money. It is only a matter of time before Yun Feiluan is found.
Yun Feiluan was extremely flustered, but she did not change her words.
"I will not admit to something I haven't done. If you have evidence, please bring me to justice!"
Xiao He looked at Qi Shuyan and asked him with his eyes, "Do you want to punish me?"
He felt that if Yun Feiluan was tortured, she would not be able to bear it and would tell the truth.
Qi Shuyan walked to Yun Feiluan and squatted down, threatening her in a voice that only she could hear.
"I know you are the mastermind behind the murder. If you don't want Guo Tingting to be the one killed, you'd better confess the truth."
Yun Feiluan felt Qi Shuyan's strong murderous intent.
She knew very well that Qi Shuyan could do what he said, and that he would not only kill his daughter, but also her!
She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she slumped to the ground.
The coldness in Qi Shuyan's eyes deepened, and there was a strong sense of oppression.
"I'm not a good person. If you don't tell the truth, I'll hire someone to kill you. Anyway, two lives are only worth five hundred taels. I can afford it!"
After saying that, he stood up and looked at Xiao He.
"Master Xiao, there is nothing to be learned from this case, so let's leave it at that."
Xiao He nodded and slammed the gavel again.
"The criminal Chun Xing hired someone to kill someone. The evidence is irrefutable. He shall be hanged! The killer Zhang Peng has seven lives on his hands. He shall be executed immediately!"
"retreat……"
Before he could utter the word "tang" at the end, Yun Feiluan shouted.
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished what I want to say!"
Rather than getting his daughter killed, it is better to admit the crime.
"It was me who wanted to kill the Xia family father and daughter. I gave Chun Xing five hundred taels and asked her to find the killer..."
She explained the entire process of hiring a killer in detail.
Xiao He re-judged the case.
"Yun Feiluan hired someone to kill someone, and poisoned someone who knew about it. His crimes were extremely heinous, and he was beheaded in public one month later!
The maid Chun Xing was an accomplice and was sentenced to ten years in prison!
The killer Zhang Peng, who has killed seven people and injured countless others, is sentenced to immediate execution! ”
After the court session, the killer was taken to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded.
Many people went to watch.
Qi Shuyan didn't want to see blood on such a happy day, so he didn't join in the fun.
But he heard that the killer cried out loudly and begged him to keep his promise and protect his family before he died.
"Protect? Since you used the money earned by the assassin, you are not innocent!"
He won't deal with the killer's family, but he doesn't care whether they live or die.
As soon as Qi Shuyan returned to the Qi family, he was blocked at the door by Qi Wenhua.
He glared at Qi Shuyan angrily, "The Xia family father and daughter are fine, why do you want to kill Fei Luan?"
"The Xia family's father and daughter are safe because I am strong enough to protect them. And Yun Feiluan is waiting to die in prison because Second Uncle has no power and can do nothing."
After saying this mockingly, he patted Qi Wenhua on the shoulder and strode away.
