Chapter 336: Chapter 334: 100 More with Monthly Tickets

Xing Tao listened to Jia Zheng’s words and cast an angry glance at him, wondering why this man was suddenly changing sides, wasn’t he afraid of being sought out for revenge?

Conscience struck, Jia Zheng avoided his gaze, unable to risk his future.

"My lords, who really forced the deceased to the point they smashed their own forehead and beat themselves until their face was swollen?"

The commoners at the door started talking as soon as these words were heard.

"What an evil creature, forcing his own mother to apologize, her face swollen and bruised, but he himself is unscathed!"

"This man is incredibly bold, he even dare to falsely accuse Marquis Shengping and the Lord of Rui’an County! He must have a death wish!"

"That woman was too cruel and cowardly, blocking them and demanding they apologize when she didn’t know their identities, then hitting herself and even smashing her own forehead after she found out!"

"Both the mother and son are no good! Her son is even worse, spouting nonsense, daring to falsely accuse Marquis Shengping!"

"We can’t say for sure, that woman is dead after all, who knows what really happened here. We didn’t see it ourselves, how could we know?"

...

"Even if my mother did not turn her head and face bloody out of her own will, she was pushed to death by your maid! Sir, it was your maid who came to our house to harass my mother! Tian Fu can testify!" Xing Tao’s face had turned black after hearing the words of the people.

The Fu Yin slapped the table fiercely:

"Tian Fu, tell the truth, did this person come to my house yesterday?"

The man named Tian Fu had already been terrified by the intimidating atmosphere of the court and was even more frightened by the majesty of Fu Yin, to the point he trembled: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Did you visit Xing Tao’s house yesterday?"

Yang Liu stepped forward and said, "My lord, yes. Could I ask this witness a question?"

"Ask away!" Fu Yin nodded.

He knew that he didn’t need to make any investigation, the Lord of Rui’an County would soon clear his name.

"Tian Fu, you saw me go to Xing Tao’s house yesterday, but did you see me leaving?"

"Yes, yes!" Tian Fu nodded.

"Why did you see me leaving?"

"Bec...because you, you left quickly."

"How quickly? Was it as quick as just going in and saying a few sentences?"

"Alm...alm...almost!" Tian Fu nodded again.

"My lord, yesterday I took a portrait to ask the deceased: if the person she ridiculed for paying the silver is the person in the painting, she said: yes. After hearing the answer, I left, it took just a few sentences! I`d like to know how I could harass the deceased into suicide in such a short period of time!" Yang Liu told Fu Yin righteously.

"You said only one sentence, ’If you don’t apologize for the rumors about my master, beware of your own life!’ My mother was frightened by you, she thought she might as well die consciously!"

"Since you knew your mother’s intentions, why didn’t you stop her and let her die?" Yang Liu laughed disdainfully at his words.

"My Lord, the autopsy of the corpse has been completed." At this time, another officer came in to report.

"Summon the coroner!"

The coroner, Qian Wuzuo, came in and knelt down in greeting.

"Qian Wuzuo, what’s the result?" Fu Yin asked.

"My Lord, she did indeed die by hanging."

"Mother, you died such an unjust death! I swear I’ll bring the ones who forced you to death to justice!" Xing Tao cried out after hearing this.

Xiao’er shook her head at this man whose pretense was so evident.

"My Lord, I want to examine the corpse."

"Aren’t you afraid, Lord of Rui’an County?"

"I didn’t kill her, why should I be afraid?"

"Then go ahead and examine her!" Fu Yin muttered under his breath: Any normal girl would fear the mention of death, let alone seeing it! The Lord of Rui’an County was incredibly brave.

Xiao’er came to the door of the government office and prepared to pull back the white cloth for examination.

Xing Tian rushed to stop her rudely, "You murderer, what are you trying to do? My wife was compelled by you to hang herself, aren’t you willing to let her rest in peace? Do you want her to suffer even in death?"

"Are you saying that she can rest in peace by having her laid out at the entrance of the government office? I just want to help you find the real murderer!"

"We don’t need your hypocritical help, the murderer is you!" After listening to Xiao’er, Xing Tian’s eyes flickered.

"The murderer is who, your wife will tell!" Xiao’er didn’t miss the flicker in his eyes and sneered inwardly.

"My wife is dead, how can she speak? It’s all your fault, confess and let my wife rest in peace!"

"I will let your wife tell you who killed her. If you don’t let me, it can only prove that you are the one who killed her!"

Hearing Xiao’er’s words, Xing Tian sneered, dismissing her claim. But he finally stepped aside, "I want to see how you make her tell me!"

Xiao’er moved the white cloth aside and began a careful examination.

After a while, she stood up, turned around, and walked back into the government office.

"You said you’d let my wife tell me, why did you change your mind?"

"Just wait!" Xiao’er walked in without looking back.

"My lords, Xing Tao and his father lied, Mrs. Xing did not hang herself but was murdered by her husband."

The people present were stunned when they heard this!

"You’re slandering me!" Xing Tian heard this from outside and roared in a guilty panic.

After hearing her words, Xing Tao’s heart was struck by stormy waves. How did she know? Even the coroner didn’t find out.

"Lord of Rui’an County, can you explain?" Fu Yin was very surprised after hearing this.

"My lord of Rui’an, I have examined her. The woman has no other wounds, no signs of poisoning, and there are clear rope marks around her neck. It is very clear that she hung herself!" The coroner was disgruntled seeing a pure innocent girl acting arrogant while in his presence.

"Please follow me, my lord." Xiao’er ignored Qian Wuzuo’s words, thinking on her own of how many wrongful deaths had been convicted under Fu Yin.

As the future wife of the Sixth Prince, the respect was due. Fu Yin followed Xiao’er outside.

"My lord, if you look, there are indeed rope marks on the woman’s neck, but the direction is wrong! If it’s suicide by hanging, shouldn’t the rope marks on the neck be upward like this?" Xiao’er gestured on her neck.

Fu Yin thought for a while and nodded.

"Look at the rope mark on this woman’s neck, it is level and goes backward, it is very clear that someone strangled her from behind!"

Fu Yin looked down and indeed it was so!

The Lord of Rui’an County even knew autopsy, it was simply incredible!

After hearing this, the onlookers were shocked:

"Not suicide, but strangled to death, oh my god! This husband is too heartless!"

"Yes, he strangled his own wife, and then tried to frame the Lord of Rui’an County, it is a major evil act!"

"Today I really understand the saying ’Thief yelling catch thief!’"
