Chapter 278, The Return of the Dead
This time I went to the hall, there were also many people watching.
Witnesses came on stage one by one, and Wen Pei also came to the hall.
Wen Pei honestly explained to Chen Yuan’s problem that day. The pair of turquoise earrings was indeed a dowry for Mrs. Qi, but it was given to Madam Xu a few days before giving birth.
Outsiders don't know about this. The lady gave it to Madam Xu in front of her at that time. After receiving the reward, Madam Xu never took it out and wore it.
Finally, he also pushed down the point where Chen Yuan inferred in the meeting room that day that Madam Xu had a helper.
"Who is this helper?"
"It must be someone from the inspector Luo's office."
"Otherwise, it would not be so easy to lead the people outside the mourning hall, and they would have a certain say in Luo Mansion."
"I guess it's Mrs. Liu."
"I don't think it's Wenying, another girl from Concubine Qi. Looking at Wen Pei and Madam Xu's loyalty to Qi, I can guess that Wenying must be a loyal servant, and Qi's family is also a loyal servant.
He is indeed a good master who respects and is willing to be loyal to him."
At this time, a female voice suddenly rang in the crowd, "It was Wenying and Madam Xu who saved me."
Save me?
Everyone was shocked.
They all looked sideways at the person talking.
The speaker took off the hat he wore on his head, revealing the familiar face of an old man from the county government and an old man from Luo Mansion.
"Qi!"
"lady!"
Wen Pei, who was kneeling on the ground, burst into tears and moved her knees toward her, "Miss, you are still alive, so good, so good, I can still see you!"
Qi, dressed in black coarse cloth, dressed as a peasant woman, walked into the lobby without any obstacles.
Walking to Wen Pei, he hugged Wen Pei, who was crying like a child, in his arms, and tears slid down his cheeks, "Xiao Pei, sorry, I don't know you are still alive, and you are wronged."
Wen Pei, who was as stubborn as a donkey in front of the yamen runners, was now put away his thorns.
"No, I don't feel wronged. It's all because I didn't stay by the lady's side and didn't protect her, so that you were harmed by that heartless person."
"Miss, I'll help you get revenge, I'll kill him." Wen Pei wanted to laugh, but was a little scared, and looked up timidly at Qi, who had lost weight, "Miss, won't blame me, do you?"
"I don't blame you, he... died without any wickedness."
After getting the lady's affirmation, Wen Pei grinned happily.
Qi felt ache in her heart and touched her head, "But, killing him will make your hands dirty."
Wen Pei felt that her life was enough because she was so pitiful by the lady, "Miss!"
Qi patted Wen Pei comfortably and knelt beside her, "Mr. Magistrate, after I was rescued by Madam Xu and Wenying, Wenying asked me to buy mountain goods for her and a trustworthy hunter.
It’s very remote and safe around the couple.”
"I have been recuperating for three years before I can go to the field. I want to report to the official, but I found that he was too powerful and I didn't want to make Wenying lose her life, so I hid my identity. It was only a couple of days ago that Luo Cheng was told by the hunters that Luo Cheng had been stolen by me.
The girl Wenpei killed her. Today, I am here to testify. Luo Chenggang deserves to die. He bribed Mima Lin and killed my life."
It turned out that when Chen Jie was wrong, the county magistrate Guan sighed. Fortunately, Inspection Officer Liu was not invited to the county government the day before yesterday, otherwise he would be embarrassed.
"Qi, why did Luo Chenggang kill you?"
Qi cleverly said, "For the property of my Qi family."
The Luo family once opened an escort agency in Jinyang County, Chaozhou District, and the Qi family did a medicinal material business.
Once, Qi's father encountered bandits robbers and happened to meet the Luo family escort agency passing by. Luo Chenggang's father saved Qi's father.
After that, the two families often interacted and had business contacts.
Luo Chenggang was also a young man with precious gold and jade, but the Luo family escort agency caused trouble, and the escort was killed and injured. Luo Chenggang's father also died, and Luo Chenggang had nothing.
This reason is reasonable.
The county magistrate Guan asked again, "Why do you do it when you give birth? Your child is also his child."
Qi smiled, but it made people feel sad.
"Cheng Gang said to my body that he would not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blew deeper. He didn't want to leave a wronged son to take revenge on him in his later years. He told me not to blame him."
Some people just like to be honest with the people they are killed.
It is not surprising that Guan Magistrate Guan, but he still has to continue asking questions, "Your maid Wenying once told Wenpei when Wenpei found her that Liu seduced Luo Chenggang in the mourning hall, is this true or false."
Qi turned his head and looked indifferently at Mrs. Liu, who had an official position and did not have to kneel down to reply.
"Wenying didn't tell me about this, I don't know."
"Then, you are still alive, cough cough, before Luo Chenggang was assassinated, did you find that Liu and your husband were very close in the mansion?" County Magistrate Guan pretended that nothing had happened.
Qi thought about it, "I haven't discovered it."
"Then, based on your understanding of Wenying, how true is what she said to Wenpei?"
Qi lowered her head, "I don't know."
"Then why didn't she tell you the news that Wenpei is still alive?"
Qi then raised her head, "Madam Xu had betrayed me because of Luo Chenggang's threat. Of course, she also paid the price of her life to save me. However, for this reason, Wenying could no longer believe anyone, even
Even the nanny can betray me. She doesn’t know how many people have been bribed by Luo Chenggang. She doubts everyone except herself.”
"This, maybe she dared not tell Wen Pei about the news that I was still alive, nor did she dare tell me that Wen Pei was still alive, and she was worried that I would not be able to help but come out to find her, so she exposed her whereabouts."
This statement is also tenable, so the magistrate Guan had to ask others again, "Where is Wenying?"
Mrs. Qi lowered her head again and sobbed, "She has been missing for three years, and she is probably the old man around me, and she has been dealt with by Luo Chenggang."
"Are the children in your belly still alive?"
Qi smiled bitterly and his chin twitched, "Ha, do you think it's possible?"
The county magistrate Guan, who was asked back, certainly would not answer her question, "Qi, you were in the coffin at that time, right?"
Otherwise, how could you hear Luo Chenggang's true feelings be revealed?
Qi replied, "Sometimes awake, sometimes coma."
The rigorous answer made the county magistrate Guan, who wanted to find some loopholes, feel disappointed. "Well, when you were alive, did you ever tell Luo Chenggang that you love beauty and don't want to be seen to become ugly after death?"
"I did say this to Luo Chenggang."
"When did you say it, outsiders are here to hear it."
"The couple whispered, no one had heard it."
The person who had been killed by his husband once did not feel ashamed to talk about this in public.
County Magistrate Guan, "When you were still in the coffin, Luo Chenggang covered your face with a brocade platter?"
Qi, "I don't know. At that time, I was in pain and cold all over, and I was not sensitive to the perception of the outside world."
Nothing else could be found from Qi's mouth. If she had congratulated her affair in the mansion, she would not have been killed in a daze.
Hiding in the mountains and being even more isolated from the world, her appearance is useless except that it can prove that Luo Chenggang did bribe Midwife Lin to kill her.
