Chapter 25: The Real Murderer
Yu Xiaoying ate the long-grain rice one bite at a time, and even the rice grains that were stuck on the edge of the bowl did not let go, stretching out her tongue and licking it into her stomach.
She burped, put down the dishes and chopsticks, found a wooden basin and washed her hands, and ran to Wu Zhaorong's side and squatted down.
Wu Zhaorong didn't know what else she was going to do, his eyes were frightened, his whole body trembled, and he nodded his head to the ground with difficulty, pleading.
Yu Xiaoying grinned, squinted, and smiled innocently.
She tilted her head, and suddenly reached out and pulled the earrings off Wu Zhaorong's ears, and Wu Zhaorong shed tears in pain.
Yu Xiaoying wiped the blood droplets from the earrings and carefully put them in her pocket.
She stretched out her hand again, reached into Wu Zhaorong's neck, clothes, and waist and groped, and after touching for a while, she took out a butterfly-shaped jade pendant full of color from her dirty clothes.
She was overjoyed and carefully put it in her pocket again.
She stood up, used her hands and feet, and pushed Wu Zhaorong into the kitchen.
took out a rope that had been prepared a long time ago, and connected one end to the burning stove, and tied a knot with Wu Zhaorong's hair at the other.
Seeing the flames burning along the rope, she jumped up screaming, dancing with her hands, and running out of Shen's house humming an out-of-tune song.
Wu Zhaorong looked at the fire that was getting closer and closer, and closed his eyes in despair......
******
"Lady, lady-" Shen Rihui cried with a sad face and called in a trembling voice.
Wu Zhaorong opened his eyes and saw that it was Shen Rihui, and tears poured out at once.
She grabbed Shen Rihui's hand and opened her mouth, hoarse.
"Lady, don't talk, lie down obediently." Shen Rihui whimpered and comforted her, "Lang Zhong came to take a look, washed his eyes and throat with the decoction potion, and said that it was all skin trauma, and it would be recovered in less than three days." โ
"Woo-woo-" Wu Zhaorong's eyes widened and he shook his head desperately.
Shen Rihui put her on the bed and said repeatedly, "Don't be afraid, lady, that little ghost ran away, but Yue'er saw it all." She was afraid that the little devil would be hungry, so she went home and delivered shortbread, and she happened to see them all. It was Yue'er who saved you, and now she is going to the yamen to see the adult, you can rest assured, she will definitely catch that little ghost to avenge you. โ
Wu Zhaorong let go of his hands and closed his eyes tiredly.

The scorching sun in August is shining, and the white flowers are so bright that people can't open their eyes.
Shen Yueran clenched the portrait in her hand, her face paler than the sun, and stumbled towards the county office.
It's horrible, it's horrible.
How could it be, how could it be?
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, or the Emperor Lao Tzu had sued her, she would have just spat out "Nonsense!" โ
Yu Xiaoying is just a child.
How can a child repeatedly harm, injure, or even kill someone?!
She had to figure out, had she ever done it? What did she do?
She still has to figure out why she kills?! Who taught her?!
"Who do you think you're looking for?" Zhang Wenxing asked with a yawn as usual.
Lord Wei is jealous and hateful, regards murder cases as orders, does not solve the case for a while, and does not eat for a while, which makes him suffer.
Think about it, a passing four-rank Beijing official concentrates on investigating the case for the sake of Wenchi's life, not to mention that he, the parent official of the seventh grade, dares to eat and drink in front?
Yu Ziqiang was caught last night, and after interrogation overnight, Yu Ziqiang confessed to his guilt, and Lord Wei was finally willing to drink two bowls of light white porridge, and set off for Tianshui early this morning.
He was relieved to see the adults away. I had just ordered the kitchen to prepare some seafood, and I was going to eat it and sleep back, but I was alarmed by the old girl's drums.
"The people's girls want to find adults." Shen Yueran is neither humble nor arrogant.
She thought carefully that only an adult who was dedicated to investigating the case could help her figure out the truth she wanted to know.
What's more, all the Yiqiฤ is just a conjecture she made based on the portrait of the great man, so only if you find the big man can tell clearly.
"Looking for whom?" Zhang Wenxing was stunned.
Only then did Shen Yueran react, the adult was just a casual name she gave him, and she didn't know the origin of his name.
remembered that the county magistrate had called him "Master Wei" in the public court yesterday, so she said, "Lord Wei." โ
"Lord Wei?" Zhang Wenxing snorted coldly.
I thought I was very familiar with adults when I was in the same room with Master Wei last night, and I dared to run to the public court to swagger?! You know, Master Wei is completely for investigating the case, if it weren't for the investigation of the case, would he take a look at you, a rustic old girl?
"Master Wei is gone." Zhang Wenxing waved his hand, got up and retreated.
"Don't go, sir." Shen Yueran said hurriedly, "The people's daughter has something important to do with Lord Wei, and it is about the eldest lady of the Li family. โ
Zhang Wenxing is happy to be happy, Yu Ziqiang draws a confession, and he can finally sit back and relax again, so that he will not have nothing to do.
He didn't stop at his feet, and shouted sharply, "The murder case has its own yamen to deal with, how can you let a woman talk nonsense, come and drive her out." โ
The official listened to the order, grabbed Shen Yueran from left to right, and dragged him out.
Shen Yueran shouted, "My lord, Yu Ziqiang may not be the real murderer, you let the folk girl finish speaking......"
"Drag it out, drag it out." Zhang Wenxing was impatient, and his figure had disappeared behind the screen of the sea.
"My lordโ" Shen Yueran was pushed to the ground and shouted loudly.
"Get out!" One of the officials shouted loudly, and pulled out the knife at his waist.
The sharp blades glowed a terrifying white light in the scorching sun.
Shen Yueran was terrified.
"Presumptuous!"
At this moment, a horsewhip struck the matching knife in the hand of the officer.
The whip came, the knife was broken, and the official held half of the hilt of the knife, dumbfounded.
Wei Yi raised his whip immediately, his face was solemn, and he was dusty.
Shen Yueran looked up at him in the sun, mighty, calm, and shining.
Noble son!
All she could think of was those three words.
******
Time is back to today.
At the end of the day, Wei Yi said goodbye to Zhang Wenxing, set off across the horse, galloping all the way to Tianshui, but his mind was constantly replaying all kinds of yesterday.
Yu Ziqiang, who went to the pawnshop to change jewelry, was caught by the ambushed officials, so he hung his head and confessed.
"My lord, I killed Li Xinyi."
"She always beats and scolds Xiaoying at every turn, and I have long held a grudge."
"Yesterday, she wronged Xiaoying and killed Huahua again, I couldn't get angry and decided to kill her."
"I've got the key to the back door of the charcoal shop."
"I sneaked into her room through the back door and through the back garden."
"I gagged her with charcoal and strangled her neck with a rope."
"After I killed her, I laid her flat on the bed, cleaned the room, took all her jewelry, and covered her hateful face with a handkerchief as I left."
"Last night, I heard that the yamen caught the murderer, and it was the old girl of the Shen family. I thought I was fine, so I took the jewelry to the pawnshop to exchange huร n, but I didn't expect it, but I fell for the adult's plan. โ
"Murder pays for life, and it is a matter of course. Li Xinyi's life, I will pay her life. I have nothing to love with my son Johnson, but Xiaoying is still young, and I don't want to do anything, I just hope that adults can read it on the impulse of Xiaomin, and give Xiaoying a good place to go in the future, don't let her live on the street and be bullied. โ
