Chapter 158: County Magistrate Sun Dies
Zhang Wanqing stared at the handkerchief in a daze.
This was the day when Mrs. Zhang, the Grand Tutor, died. Out of sympathy, Li Wenjing handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Her mother's dying request asked her to treat Li Wenjing as her husband and give her heart to him.
But that day he said with his own mouth that he loved Lin Zhiyi.
How could she accept this?
Hearing the footsteps outside, Zhang Wanqing put away the handkerchief.
When General Sun saw Zhang Wanqing's red eyes, he asked, "What happened?"
"It's nothing, I just miss my mother."
Zhang Wanqing recalled what Lin Zhiyi said that day. Lin Zhiyi said that he had never harmed her, and the one who harmed her was Mu Yunzhao.
Maybe we can ask this old guy and the truth will come out.
"Master, when I came to your house, you said you met my brother, but I don't have a brother. Can you describe what that person looks like?"
Marshal Sun recalled that day, the man had a feminine face, ordinary looks, even a little ugly, and was not tall for a man.
Zhang Wanqing guessed that the other person was a woman.
But when County Magistrate Sun was asked to draw it, he did not have the painting skills.
"But I remember he had a red mole at the corner of his eye."
At that time, County Magistrate Sun sighed that if this red mole grew on a woman's face, it would definitely be a plus, but it was a pity that it grew on such an ugly face.
So it left a deep impression.
When Zhang Wanqing heard that the man had a red mole at the corner of his eye, she clenched her fists in anger.
Lin Zhiyi, you still say it’s not you!
You did it and you're too scared to admit it. You're such a despicable person.
Zhang Wanqing was so angry that her body was shaking and her eyes were red. This made County Magistrate Sun feel very distressed. He quickly hugged her and comforted her, "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me."
Zhang Wanqing shook her head.
She didn't know how to explain it.
On the day Lin Zhiyi was rescued, County Magistrate Sun came back very late and said that he was ordered by the county magistrate to search the whole city for a girl.
Only then did Zhang Wanqing realize that Lin Zhiyi had actually hooked up with the county magistrate.
If County Captain Sun knew that the girl was kidnapped by her that day, I wonder if he would be angry.
"Okay, don't be angry. Go stroll around the city tomorrow and make two clothes you like and buy two pieces of jewelry you like."
Women always like these things, and County Captain Sun also coaxed Zhang Wanqing in this way.
Zhang Wanqing shook her head, "No."
"Why?"
"I don't have any money, so I won't buy it." Zhang Wanqing said aggrievedly.
Only then did County Lieutenant Sun realize that he seemed to have not given Zhang Wanqing any money in the past few days.
"It's my fault. I forgot. I have plenty of money. Wait, I'll get it for you."
County Magistrate Sun left Zhang Wanqing's house and went to his own bedroom.
Zhang Wanqing originally thought that County Magistrate Sun would come over with a lacquer tray with ten silver ingots on it as usual and give it to her.
But he didn't come in the first or second place, and even after an hour, he still didn't come to County Magistrate Sun.
She went to County Magistrate Sun's bedroom and found that he was not in the room.
But in one wall, a door was found.
She was surprised. She remembered that there was just a wall here before, so how could there be a door?
I immediately understood that this was probably a secret chamber or something like that.
When he stepped inside, he found County Captain Sun lying on the cold floor of the dark chamber.
It turned out that County Magistrate Sun fainted here.
Zhang Wanqing thought about the grievances she had suffered these days and walked over to kick County Captain Sun a few times.
She didn't understand why County Captain Sun fainted here. He had just said that he came here to get the silver and money. She guessed that this secret room was where County Captain Sun kept his valuables. Now that his valuables were lost, County Captain Sun fainted from anger.
Zhang Wanqing sneered.
You asked for this!
She walked over, picked up the candlestick in the secret room, and without any hesitation, smashed it on the head of County Captain Sun.
One, two... When it came to the fifth hit, County Captain Sun suddenly opened his eyes.
Zhang Wanqing was startled. After a moment's hesitation, she used all her strength to strike Sun Taiwei's head. Blood flowed from the corner of Sun Taiwei's lips. He pointed at Zhang Wanqing and said, "You!"
Then his neck tilted! His wide-open eyes showed that he died with his eyes open.
Zhang Wanqing was so frightened that she quickly dropped the candlestick and ran out of the secret room.
He returned to his room and quickly closed the door.
My heart was pounding, and I tried to calm myself down.
It took her a while to calm down.
Thinking that the old man was dead, she finally didn't have to stay in the county lieutenant's mansion anymore.
She started walking, but after a few steps, she turned back.
No, she couldn't just leave like this. If she left, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
Zhang Wanqing returned to the room and lay on the bed.
The next day.
The news that County Magistrate Sun was killed at home spread like a gust of wind to every corner of the county.
The thing that everyone talked about the most was the new wife of County Magistrate Sun, Mrs. Ru, who was crying her heart out.
It seems that County Magistrate Sun treated her well when he was alive.
I didn't expect that the concubine was such a loyal person.
But in the end she was driven out by Sun Xianwei's family, who said that she had brought bad luck to Sun Xianwei.
Mother Fang came to report this matter to Lin Zhiyi.
"Are you saying that County Magistrate Sun is dead?"
"Yes, young lady. I heard that she was killed by someone. It's a pity for Miss Zhang. As soon as County Magistrate Sun died, she was driven out."
Mother Fang told Lin Zhiyi everything she knew.
Lin Zhiyi has been preparing for farming these days and has already started raising seedlings.
The new house has been built and the Lin family is about to move in.
Because it was summer, Fang's mother was afraid that the wild boar meat would go bad, so she pickled it all and put it in a sealed jar.
This way it can be stored for more than ten days without any problem.
Lin Zhiyi was shocked to hear that County Magistrate Sun had died.
He died so soon?
Or did he die in the secret chamber?
That day, she collected all the gold, silver, and jewelry in the secret cabinet of County Magistrate Sun into the space, but she did not wait for the Sun family to report the theft to the authorities.
Could it be that County Magistrate Sun only discovered it now?
Suddenly, he heard a woman sobbing in the backyard, which sounded like Zhang Wanqing's voice. Lin Zhiyi stood up and walked out the door.
When she arrived at the backyard, she found that it was Zhu Sheng who was chasing her away.
"You lowered yourself to be a plaything, and now you've been abandoned and you come back to beg your master to take you in? Where's your face?" Zhu Sheng scolded.
"Zhu Sheng, please, please help me beg the master to give me another chance. I was also forced. Please, I will never dare to do it again."
Zhu Sheng casually picked up a wooden stick from the ground and said, "Get out of here! If you come to mess with the master again, I'll beat you to death."
Zhu Sheng showed no mercy and hit Zhang Wanqing.
Zhang Wanqing felt pain all over her body and quickly hid everywhere.
When I looked up, I saw Lin Zhiyi standing there.
A flash of hatred appeared in her eyes, but she suppressed it in an instant.
She took a few steps forward and knelt in front of Lin Zhiyi: "Sister Lin, please, please help me plead with the young master. I really have no way out. If the young master doesn't take me in, I will starve to death outside sooner or later."
Lin Zhiyi pulled down the hem of her skirt and pushed Zhang Wanqing away. "Why would I help someone who is trying to murder me? Zhang Wanqing, do you think I'm a fool?"
Lin Zhiyi walked past her and went straight into the yard.
Zhang Wanqing was so angry that her face turned green.
"If you dare to disturb the master's peace again, I'll peel off your skin! Get out now!"
After Zhu Sheng entered the door, he closed it with a "bang".
