Luo Lingwei glanced at the Prefecture Overseer and said lightly: "You can suspend your duty for now. Once this case is investigated, I'll deal with you."
When the Prefecture Overseer heard this, his heart was slightly at ease. He knew that since Luo Lingwei was able to say such words, she did not intend to put him to death. He immediately kowtowed to show his gratitude. Luo Lingwei ignored him and brought Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others to Peng County.
Since Luo Lingwei didn't want to waste time, she rented a few carriages and took everyone with her. In the afternoon, they arrived at Peng County. It was late and the gates of Pengxian County were closed. Zhang Long carried his iron token and went to call the night soldiers to open the gate. After a while, the city gates opened and everyone entered the city. Luo Lingwei brought the people from Chang Clan Village to the County Magistrate's Hall once again. At this moment, they coincidentally bumped into the few officials who had been beaten up by Zhao Hu during the day. When those people saw this group of people, they were stunned for a moment before returning to the yamen. It seemed that they had gone back to report.
Luo Lingwei did not care about this. She walked straight to the door of the yamen, picked up the drumstick, and fiercely knocked it a few times. She felt that she did not have enough strength, but at this time, no one from the yamen came out. As a result, Luo Lingwei gave the drumstick to Zhao Hu, who stepped forward with two deafening "dong dong dong" sounds. However, when he hit the drum for the third time, a large hole appeared in the drum.
Zhao Hu embarrassedly turned his head to look at Luo Lingwei. At this moment, the constables of Class 3, Class 6, ran out with their weapons in their hands and surrounded the crowd. The local magistrate still hadn't shown his face, and the person commanding this group of yamen runners was the magistrate.
"Lock them up!" At the order of the Grand Master, the bailiffs rushed forward to fight with the crowd. As for Zhang Long, he rushed to the Grand Master's side and grabbed his throat.
"If you dare to act rashly, I'll break his throat!" Zhang Long shouted.
At the same time, Zhao Hu flashed his black iron token and shouted at the crowd, "Imperial Emissary Esteemed wangfei Guanling is here! You all dare to be rash! "
Everyone saw the token in Zhao Hu's hand and felt their hearts skip a beat. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Luo Lingwei.
"There's no need to talk any further. I'll go and call the county over." Luo Lingwei did not want to chat with these people, so she directly walked to the top of the court and sat on the judge's case.
Not long after, Zhixian arrived in front of the hall in a flurry of official attire. He didn't care about his dignity as he dropped to the ground and kowtowed.
"This official greets esteemed wangfei! Esteemed wangfei, a thousand years old!"
"Get up. The Japanese palace is here to conduct a trial today. Transfer all the files related to the Changyu case over. I want to take a look." Luo Lingwei said.
Zhi Prefecture's heart skipped a beat, but it was not easy to evade. He immediately sent someone to get it. Not long later, the file was brought over. Other than the corpse, there was only Chang Yu's confession. However, there was only a bloody handprint on the map that didn't have the Immortality Jade on it.
When Luo Lingwei saw this confession, she angrily slapped it onto the table. She pointed at the county magistrate and said: "You thief, you really have a big guts!"
Upon hearing Luo Lingwei's words, that Zhixian trembled in fear, but didn't dare to say a single word.
"Come, explain to me where the bloody handprint on the confession came from!" As she spoke, Luo Lingwei crumpled the confession and threw it at Zhi Xia's face.
Upon seeing this, Zhi Prefecture was scared out of his wits. He had long heard that Luo Lingwei was completely ruthless when doing things. He never thought that she would actually humiliate him like this. However, there was nothing he could do at this moment. He could only beg for his life.
"This official knows his wrongs!" I beg the Empress to be merciful! " At this time, Zhi Xia kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic, begging for mercy from Luo Lingwei.
"Confess your crime?" Luo Lingwei glanced at the county and snorted: "You can speak to Changyu about this! Someone, lock this unconscious official in his cell. I will deal with him after this case is investigated! "
Upon hearing this, Zhi Xia fainted on the ground. At this moment, the Grand Master wanted to run away, but Zhao Hu grabbed him by the collar and threw him in front of the hall.
Luo Lingwei saw that this Grand Master was shifty and shifty. At this moment, he was able to see that there was something on his mind. She pointed at him and said, "Take these people who work with him to jail!"
After the two of them were dragged out, crying for help, Luo Lingwei did not rest. She ordered the bailiffs to release the people from Chang Clan Village, and arranged for everyone from Chang Clan Village to return to the village before she went to rest.
The next morning, after Luo Lingwei, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others finished their breakfast, they went to the entrance of the Outer Palace. As they were not locals, the people in the Zhao Family did not recognize them. Therefore, the crowd waited for someone to report to them. After a while, Steward Zhao brought his family members to pay their respects in a flustered manner.
Luo Lingwei did not put on airs and directly stated her purpose for coming to Zhao Yuan. When Steward Zhao heard this, his eyes turned red. However, he knew that he had been rude, so he suppressed his tears and brought Luo Lingwei and the others to the crime scene.
Luo Lingwei could see that Lady Zhao could not bear to see her daughter again, so she asked him to leave first and instead had the butler lead the way.
After making some small talk, they arrived at the door of the Zhao Family's daughter's room. The crime scene hadn't been cleaned yet. The Old Master of the Zhao Family could not bear to look any further, and the servants of the Zhao Family also felt that this place was a little unlucky and did not dare to come.
Because his daughter had not yet left the house, and most of the servants in the house were men, he had set up a separate small garden for her. Therefore, no one knew about the incident that night, and only when the maidservants woke up the next morning to bring food to the eldest miss, did they discover that half of their young miss' corpse was outside the door, and the other half was inside. Her clothes were messy, and she had no clothes to cover her lower body.
There was only the entrance to the Moon Gate at the admissions center. Luo Lingwei recalled the hundreds of episodes of "Detective Conan" she had read before, and tried hard to mobilize her memories of the investigation. Until her mind was full of the "Shylock" BGM, she could only helplessly sigh.
"Xiaoqing, what do you think about this matter?" Luo Lingwei had no choice but to turn around and ask the smartest person beside her, Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing bowed and said, "Sister Weiwei, please allow this servant to think about it."
After speaking, Little Qing walked around the small courtyard. When he entered the courtyard, he saw a goldfish pond on the left. There were several golden carp in the pond. Beside the pond was a tall wall, and outside the wall, one could hear faint sounds coming from the streets. To the right was the Zhao Family's Miss's boudoir. Xiaoqing carefully made her way to the Zhao Family's Young Miss's room, afraid that she would run into something inside that would change the layout of the crime scene.
However, when Xiaoqing turned around, she noticed that half of Miss Zhao's door was missing.
