Shu Jiaying is the Princess of Chen, so County Magistrate Luo naturally dared not disobey what she said.
Magistrate Luo replied, "Your Highness is right. As officials, if civilians die unjustly, we have an obligation to help them uncover the truth and allow their souls to rest in peace."
"Thank you, Magistrate Luo, for your understanding and support. Please proceed to the next location!"
"Okay, Prince Chen, Princess, please come this way."
The group moved to the next location.

In the dim room, Feng Qiaoer fell into a deep sleep, waking up and falling asleep again. She didn't know how long she had been trapped in this place. She just felt that if she continued like this, she would collapse.
Feng Qiaoer sat silently in the corner with her legs crossed. Having stayed in this place for a long time, her eyes had adapted to the surrounding light.
Look at this square hut with a locked iron door opposite. There is no other furniture in the room except a bed and a chamber pot.
Feng Qiao'er didn't want to go on like this. She deliberately covered her stomach and pretended to be in pain and said, "Is there anyone outside? Come and save me quickly. My stomach really hurts. I'm pregnant. You can't do this to me. Help... Help me..."
The cry for help actually took on an echoing state, and the voice returned to Feng Qiaoer's ears: I'm pregnant, you can't do this to me, help me... help me...
You can't do this to me, help me... help me...
Feng Qiaoer was shocked, because this was not a deep mountain or old forest, and the place where she was was well sealed by walls, so where did the echo come from?
Whoosh whoosh…
A sudden gust of wind blew into the room. Feng Qiao'er seemed to sense a figure standing in the corridor outside the iron gate. Thinking it was a police officer, she quickly called out, "Brother Police, please let me out quickly. I'm a good citizen, so everything you said was a misunderstanding. Brother Police... Brother Police..."
"Ah... It's so cold. Why is the water so cold? Pull me out quickly. I really can't stand it anymore..."
A ghostly sound suddenly came from the corridor. Feng Qiaoer was so scared that she quickly covered her ears. She said to herself, "Oh my god, is there something dirty in this place?"
Just as I thought of this, I saw a gray hand that was so thin that only bones were left stretching out from the ground.
The hand slowly moved towards Feng Qiaoer from the other end of the corridor wall.
Feng Qiaoer screamed in fear: "What the hell is this? You...you don't come near me, please go away quickly, or I will call for help, don't...don't come over..."
"Help me, the water is so cold, please pull me out of the water quickly, save me..."
"We don't recognize you, you find someone else to save you!"
"Don't you recognize me? But I do recognize the hairpin you're wearing, Feng Qiao'er. I was the one who ripped off your hairpin the night you killed me. Hehehe... You killed me, so hurry up and give me my life back!"
Feng Qiaoer suddenly realized that the owner of that hand was Zhang Erleng.
She had killed Zhang Erlang herself. Thinking his spirit would come to claim her life, Feng Qiao'er hurriedly explained, "Brother, please forgive me. It was truly unintentional that night, but it's not entirely my fault. I was bullied by Bagui and his son from your village. I was so upset. I wanted you to take me away, but you ruthlessly refused..."
