PFC Chapter 241 Death of Cousin (4)
Chapter 241 Death of Cousin (4)
Ning Ning ordered the housekeeper, "Call the people from the government office over."
The butler was stunned and looked at Ning Shen, but Ning Shen covered his face with his hands and cried, without even looking at him, obviously agreeing.
The butler sighed and went to the yamen.
The system was still a little strange. "There is one thing I don't understand. Why did Song Wenjie say that he was the one who killed Ning Wan'er?"
Ning Ning looked at Song Wenjie who was fighting with Le Ji, "Maybe he felt guilty. If he knew Ning Wan'er was humiliated, he would really feel sorry for her and agree to marry her without hesitation. Maybe Ning Shen would not have the chance to kill her. Song Wenjie felt guilty for his hesitation. Alas, in the final analysis, he still can't see through the inner demon. This inner demon is an obstacle, it is love, appearance, face, fear, and it is an indestructible delusion. Unfortunately, everyone in this room is controlled by the inner demon."
"But the original body should have been affected at this time. The murder happened in his uncle's house, and the victim was his cousin. Whether he was too sad, or concerned about blood ties, or the Ning family's reputation, in short, he failed to solve the case."
He stretched and said, "Come on, let's go solve the next case."
……
At midnight, the crowd that had been noisy for half a day fell asleep and everything was silent.
Suddenly, a man's voice roared a few words, which sounded vaguely like "Don't come over here, get out of here" or something like that.
Then the sound of something heavy falling filled my ears, and then a female voice screamed, "Help! There's a ghost! Husband, please save my husband!"
Ning Ning dressed quickly, jumped up from the couch, and rushed out the door.
As soon as he got here, he heard shouting. After carefully listening at the door, he found that the voice came from the magnificently decorated main courtyard.
Ning Ning searched the memories of her original self and found that this was when her original self was leaving Beijing again and stayed in an inn.
When checking in in the evening, the waiter told me that there was a wedding in the inn's owner's courtyard today, and a buffet was set up to entertain the guests.
He said happily, "Sir, you may not know that the groom, Mr. Feng, is the inspector of our county and has a rich family. If you like, you can go and ask for a glass of wedding wine."
To the common people, these low-level officials were the most important. Even a ninth-rank inspector was addressed as "Sir" and flattered in every possible way. The original body was puzzled, "Why did he get married in an inn?"
The waiter winked and said, "They are not a legal couple. The inspector is the county magistrate's brother-in-law. He was afraid of the roar of the Hedong Lioness, so he concealed the truth. But the bride is also eager to go ahead. She has prepared all the wedding items herself. She is the daughter of the previous woman..."
Before he could finish his words, the shopkeeper called him urgently, "Come and help, you are delaying the inspector's work, I will punish you!"
The waiter walked away with a downcast look on his face.
The original person didn't like to join in this kind of fun, so he went back to his room alone. Unexpectedly, something happened in the middle of the night.
Ning Ning rushed over, and the innkeeper and some people who were looking for fun squeezed into the main courtyard.
Then I heard the woman screaming, "I told you there was a ghost here, but you refused to admit it. Now that the female ghost has killed my husband, will she come to harm me again? Woo woo..."
Her words were like a stone dropped into a pond, creating ripples.
Everyone was shocked and frightened, "Hey, isn't that Uncle Feng lying on the ground? How did he die?"
"Boss, why didn't you tell me earlier that your place is haunted? We don't want to stay here anymore, pay us back now!"
The shopkeeper was angry and anxious, "Auntie, please stop yelling! Don't worry, I'll have someone report it to the police and get to the bottom of it! You two, go quickly, don't just stand there!"
As he spoke, the two men turned and ran out, apparently heading to the government office.
At this time, the woman looked up and was suddenly stunned, "A Ning? Why are you here?"
Ning Ning's heart was excited. She searched her original body's memory and found out that the woman's name was Zhao Ling'er and she was the daughter of Zuodu Yushi.
She also has a younger sister named Ying'er, who is a little vain and competitive, and doesn't quite match her original personality.
At that time, the two families were close friends, and the elders were willing to arrange a marriage for the original body and Zhao Linger.
Unfortunately, Zhao Linger's father had a straightforward personality. A few years ago, he spoke out and gave advice to the emperor, which angered the emperor and led to his property being confiscated and his father being dismissed from his post.
The marriage between the two was just talk, and since they hadn't gone through the formal three letters and six ceremonies, they just let it go.
After this incident, the Zhao family moved back to their hometown and no longer had contact with the Ning family, so the original owner lost contact with her.
I never expected to meet you here, and under such circumstances.
Next to Zhao Ling'er was lying a fat man with a face full of flesh, blood at the corners of his mouth, and a strong smell of alcohol. He was dead. It seemed to be Uncle Feng.
Seeing that Ning Ningru had found a savior, Zhao Linger hurried towards him and said, "A Ning, save me, there is a ghost here! You are a magistrate, and you have a lot of evil spirits on you. Ghosts dare not approach you!"
Her words were incoherent, but when she revealed Ning Ning's identity, it sparked another round of discussion.
The shopkeeper came up to Ning Ning and said, "I didn't recognize you as the Magistrate. We need someone to take charge of the situation. What do you think..."
Ning Ning nodded and told him to let the crowd disperse. "This is not my jurisdiction, so I can't intervene rashly. But don't worry, I will stay here with her while she waits for the government officials."
People dispersed in twos and threes. Ning Ning finally had time to look around after watching Zhao Linger sit down on the chair tremblingly.
The house was decorated with lights and red candles burning everywhere.
Zhao Linger's dress was also different from before. She wore heavy makeup, a pearl hairpin in her hair, a pink wedding dress, and a cherry blossom flower between her eyebrows.
This outfit makes her look a bit like her sister Ying'er.
Ning Ning asked her what had just happened, and she kept shaking and just kept saying things like "There really are ghosts, and they don't believe it."
Ning Ning frowned and was about to comfort her when she heard a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door. A group of yamen runners came in, escorting a man in the official uniform of a county magistrate.
The man's triangular eyes swept over Fengda on the ground, and he called out "brother-in-law". He looked at Ling'er with anger in his eyes, "I knew it was you, a bitch, who did this. Come, arrest this culprit!"
A few ferocious yamen runners agreed and came up to catch Ling'er.
Ning Ning shouted angrily and kicked one man away. Then he kept striking and smashing with his sword without drawing it. In a moment, several ferocious "big masters" fell to the ground and said "ouch".
The magistrate pointed at me and said, "Who are you? How dare you go against the government? Aren't you afraid of being sued?"
Ning Ning took out the fish talisman and threw it to him. He looked at it and his face changed drastically, "Are you the prosecutor of Kyoto?!"
When the innkeeper went to find the confused official, Ling'er had not yet revealed Ning Ning's identity, so he was so arrogant and wanted to arrest people without asking any questions.
After recognizing him, he didn't dare to be presumptuous.
After all, he was of the seventh rank, while Ning Ning was of the sixth rank. Besides, officials from the capital had to be respected when they arrived in the local areas.
So, the county magistrate rolled his eyes and said, "Your Excellency, you don't know that Zhao Ling'er is already a concubine of the Feng family. Regardless of whether she has anything to do with Feng Da's death, she must go to the Feng family to serve the mistress."
It was obvious that he wanted to get Ling'er into the Feng family. From then on, Ning Ning would be an outsider and would not be able to interfere in anything.
At this time, Ling'er raised her head and said word by word, "I am not a concubine of the Feng family."
"Why not? You accepted his sheep, wine, and silk for his concubines, so you are a member of his family."
Taking a concubine does not require three letters and six ceremonies like marrying a wife. As long as you accept the man's gift, a concubine from a good family will be recorded in the family tree, and you will be someone else's private property for the rest of your life. You have to serve the mistress, be beaten and scolded, and even being sold is common.
