Chapter 108

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Outside the Magistrate’s courtroom, there were many people who were listening to the trial. Inside the hall stood two neat rows of officials holding cludgeons, all expressionless and very serious.

Master Liang was sitting upright in front of the table and scanned the hall with majesty.

General Yu and Feng Sihuai were separated, and their faces were very ugly.

It is understandable that General Yu was in a bad mood because his good daughter was suddenly killed. The death was so tragic that no one could be in a good mood.

As for Feng Sihuai, he was very surprised by the woman’s corpse. His original intention was to take revenge on Yu Linglong, so how could he be involved in a lawsuit over a human life?

Master Liang didn’t have time to care about their moods. At this moment, he was listening to the autopsy result that was read aloud: “Female corpse, fifteen years old, died from late last night to early this morning, because of freezing. There were forty scars on the body. Seven were located on the front chest, abdomen, back, thighs, arms...”

The coroner’s voice rang flatly, but the more general Yu heard, the angrier he became. It was enough that Yu Qianliu was frozen to death, but before she died, she suffered so many injuries!

When he heard about the fresh trauma of Yu Qianliu’s lower body later, General Yu no longer cared that it was in the lobby of the Criminal Ministry. He stepped up to Feng Sihuai a few steps, and before he could resist, his clenched fist slammed down.

“You little bastard!”

Even the cold-blooded man could not calm down after hearing the news of his own daughter being abused and killed.

Therefore, Master Liang did not harshly criticize General Yu but ordered the yamen to pull the two who were fighting apart and continue the interrogation.

After he finished reading the autopsy results, Master Liang said: “Master Yu, the deceased is the third lady of your house, right?”

General Yu nodded angrily: “Yes, it’s my third daughter.”

Master Liang asked again: “Why did Third Lady Yu show up at the gate of Feng Mansion in the middle of the night?”

General Yu was stunned for a moment, remembering what Concubine Mei had said, and said: “She didn’t come back last night. People in our mansion searched everywhere but couldn’t find her. When we found her, it was already this morning.”

Master Liang nodded and turned to Feng Sihuai, who was about to argue for himself: “Master Feng, why did Third Lady Yu show up at the gate of your mansion in the middle of the night?”

Feng Sihuai immediately said: “My lord, I really don’t know about this! I didn’t see this woman yesterday, so how can I know why she died at my door? My lord, please understand, I had nothing to do with Yu Qianliu’s death”

As soon as his voice fell, a crisp but cold voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, breaking through the crowd.

“Master Feng’s words are too disrespectful to the Third Lady!”

The voice came so suddenly. Everyone subconsciously followed it, and everyone was stunned when they saw the speaker clearly.

They saw a young girl in a cyan brocade robe slowly stepping into the room, the silver hairpin drop on her head trembling and shaking, a pretty face like a plum blossom in the cold wind, standing proudly in front of everyone.

General Yu and Feng Sihuai uttered a cry of surprise at the same time: “It’s you!?”

Master Liang frowned slightly, and he slapped the gavel, and asked, “Who is it?”

General Yu obviously hadn’t recovered from his surprise, and subconsciously said: “My lord, this is my fourth daughter.”

Yes, the person here was Yu Linglong!

Yu Linglong looked around the lobby. Her gaze fell on Feng Sihuai, and after a slight pause, she couldn’t help showing a deep smile.

Slowly stepping forward, Yu Linglong bowed to Master Liang and said loudly: “My lord, I can testify. Third Sister went to the Feng Mansion yesterday!”

Feng Sihuai came back to his senses and couldn’t help but say loudly, “Liar!”

After speaking, he immediately raised his head and said to Master Liang, “My lord, she is lying, she is trying to get revenge on me!”

Master Liang slapped the gavel heavily and shouted: “Shut up! I didn’t ask you!”

Feng Sihuai didn’t dare to continue talking, and could only stare directly at Yu Linglong with hateful eyes.

From the moment Yu Linglong appeared, Feng Sihuai knew that he had fallen into a trap! The person who set this trap was Yu Linglong!

At this moment, Yu Linglong came to the magistrate’s hall to fall into trouble! She must put Yu Qianliu’s death on his head!

Ignoring Feng Sihuai’s murderous gaze, Yu Linglong raised her pretty face and said clearly: “Yesterday the third sister asked me to go to the front door to get measured for clothes. When she was halfway, she suddenly got out of the car and said to go to the Feng Mansion...”

Feng Sihuai was once again irritated by Yu Linglong’s words, ignoring Master Liang’s obstruction, he shouted: “Not true! She didn’t come to the Feng Mansion at all yesterday! She came the night before—”

As soon as he said this, a few sharp eyes fixed on him.

Feng Sihuai knew that he had made a mistake, and immediately knelt down in front of Master Liang, and said quickly: “My lord, Yu Linglong is slandering me! She wanted to take revenge on me before molesting her, so she wanted to pin Yu Qianliu’s death on me—”

Feng Sihuai tried his best to defend himself but did not notice that Master Liang’s face had become darker and darker.

This kid also said that he had nothing to do with Yu Qianliu’s death, and he even molested the Fourth Sister, so it’s no wonder what happened to Yu Qianliu!

Feng Sihuai still kept saying: “...Sir, I just met Yu Qianliu. She came to the Feng Mansion the night before and we met, but she really didn’t come yesterday! You can go to our mansion and ask the gatekeeper and the young man, they must have never seen Yu Qianliu!”

Yu Linglong smiled coldly: “Master Feng, your family members are all your minions. If you ask them to say something, what will they say? You said that you and Third Sister are only acquaintances. If your relationship is just ordinary, why does Master Feng want to call the third sister by her personal name?”

Feng Sihuai shivered shrewdly. That’s right, how could a woman’s personal name be known to ordinary people? He was made so anxious by Yu Linglong that he couldn’t say anything.

Seeing that he was speechless, Yu Linglong turned to Master Liang and said crisply: “The third sister went to the Feng Mansion yesterday and she heard it with her own ears and saw it with her own eyes! If the adults don’t believe me, you can also summon the coachman from the Yu house. There is also the third sister’s personal maid. They went out with the girl, and they all know where the third sister has gone!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Feng Sihuai said angrily: “You said that the gatekeeper in our mansion is not credible. Could it be that the words of your coachman and maidservant aren’t credible, too?”

Yu Linglong smiled slightly: “It’s not just that. If adults are looking for it, many people on the street saw that I and the Third Lady went out yesterday. The adults can send someone to ask.”

It was a fact that she and Yu Qianliu went out together, so naturally they were not afraid to check.

Feng Sihuai was driven into embarrassment by Yu Linglong. After racking his brains, he said anxiously, “This is absolutely nothing. What was she doing at my mansion? It was nothing at all!”

A cold smile appeared on the corners of Yu Linglong’s lips, and she said aggressively: “Young Master Feng, is what you are saying fair to Third Sister? Who in the capital doesn’t know that Young Master Feng and our Third Lady are close, they are in harmony with each other, they can’t wait to get married...”

After hearing this, Feng Sihuai immediately retorted: “That is not true at all!”

How could he be interested in Yu Qianliu? He only approached her to make use of her. Yu Qianliu liked to visit him, so he deliberately created opportunities for them to meet, but he forgot that this kind of behavior was already the ironclad evidence of the ambiguous relationship between him and Yu Qianliu!

Although knowing that Yu Linglong’s words were groundless accusations, Feng Sihuai also decided to deny it to the end. Anyway, now that the person was dead, she would show deadly proof, and see what they do!

He didn’t know that his appearance had already aroused the suspicion of the Master Liang in the hall. He said the dead girl’s name and admitted that he had molested Yu Linglong. Now he panicked to separate himself from the female corpse.......

Glancing at Master Liang, whose face was dark and solemn in the hall, Yu Linglong sneered secretly in her heart, but slowly revealed a sad expression on her face: “Master Feng, the third sister was so infatuated with you, how could you treat her like this? The unmarried woman, who confessed to me that she was going to your house to find you, showed how trusting she was and reliant she was on you! Not only did you not appreciate her, but you treated her like this, which is terrible...”

Feng Sihuai jumped anxiously. The green veins on his forehead were bulging out, and he shouted: “Nothing! Nothing! I have nothing to do with her! She never came to me!”

Yu Linglong sneered: “She has nothing to do with you? Then why did the third sister die at your door!?”

Looking at the girl in front of him, Feng Sihuai suddenly had a terrible thought. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Yu Linglong: “It’s you! You killed her!”

Yu Linglong must have discovered Yu Qianliu and wanted to lead her into the game, so she beat him at his own game to take Yu Qianliu out, and then killed her, and then threw the body at the gate of the Feng Mansion! It must be Yu Linglong!

Yu Linglong’s eyes were cold, and she said coldly: “Why should I kill the third sister? Master Feng, don’t forget, the body of the third sister was found at the door of the Feng Mansion!”

Feng Sihuai was really unable to argue at this moment. He shook his head desperately and said over and over again: “It’s not me, it has nothing to do with me, it’s not me—”

Yu Linglong pressed harder and said loudly: “If you didn’t kill the third sister, why did the third sister die at the door of Feng’s mansion? Wouldn’t she even knock on the door or call for help? If you didn’t intend to kill the third sister, why did you kick her out in the snow? Even if you didn’t take her in, you could send a carriage back to the Yu house. Why did you kill her?”

Someone was dead at your door. How could you explain?

General Yu, who had been listening for a long time, only felt that the blood was pouring up, and he strode up to the panic-stricken Feng Sihuai, and roared: “It’s not enough for you to molest one of my daughters, but you want to kill my other daughter! You are not as good as a beast. You little bastard, I want you to die!”

Feng Sihuai was forced by Yu Linglong to have nowhere to go, so he could only look at Master Liang with a pair of eyes asking for help: “My lord, it’s really not me, I didn’t kill her!”

Master Liang had let him go several times before, but this time he would let him go because of his father’s face!

Besides, he was really wronged this time!

But Feng Sihuai was wrong. Master Liang could let him go before, first because he was the son of Minister Feng, and second because the suffering masters were all women from ordinary people, and they didn’t cause any deaths. They just cried or made mistakes. It was just a little bit of money, and after all, the ordinary people knew that they couldn’t provoke the official of the Ministry of War. Yamen Jing came to mediate, and just accepted it as soon as it was good.

But can it be the same this time? Yu Qianliu died in a miserable state, and her status was unusual. Although General Yu had a small official position, he was about to become Master Gan’s in-law. This was known to all the capital.

Besides, looking at the appearance of the father and daughter in the hall, it was impossible for a little bit of money to be paid. As they said, there was nothing lower than death!

In fact, when the matter reached this point, Master Liang had guessed the cause of the matter, of course, at least he himself thought so.

Feng Sihuai was well-known, and there were a few who just watched the troubles in the hall, and there must be more things to solve in private. As such a player, it was natural to catch a lady like Yu Qianliu who did not leave home. Yu Linglong dared to say that many people knew that Feng Sihuai and Yu Qianliu’s relationship was extraordinary, so only a few inquiries would be needed to verify it, and naturally there was no need to lie. As for what happened yesterday, Yu Qianliu probably took the initiative to find Feng Sihuai. For some reason, the two had a conflict, or it was because Feng Sihuai wanted to have a relationship with Yu Qianliu but was rejected, so he forcibly insulted Yu Qianliu. Feng Sihuai drove Yu Qianliu out of the house when they were at odds with each other or Yu Qianliu was arguing. Only in this way could he explain why Yu Qianliu was frozen to death at the gate of the Feng Mansion.

Master Liang could not be blamed for being easily blinded. The main reason was the series of evidence presented. It can only be explained like this.

Master Liang frowned and groaned, and his eyes fell on Yu Linglong.

The young girl standing in the hall was looking at him coldly, her eyes full of fierceness, and even Master Liang couldn’t help feeling faintly cold.

Obviously, she was waiting for a result. If he couldn’t deal with it impartially, the Yu house would definitely not let it go.

His gaze slowly shifted to Feng Sihuai. The young son of the official of the Ministry of War was sweating profusely at the moment, and he was speaking horribly messy words in a panic, obviously flustered.

The gavel slapped heavily, and Master Liang shouted loudly: “Feng Sihuai, are you confessing or not!”

Feng Sihuai was stunned. He had never seen Master Liang speak so sternly, and he didn’t expect Master Liang, who had been silent for a long time, to ask him whether he wanted to confess or not.

He had the courage to play with women, but he was shocked when he saw a majestic adult.

Feng Sihuai was so scared that he crawled on the ground and said tremblingly: “Master Liang, this matter has nothing to do with me. Yu Qianliu was not killed by me, it really wasn’t me...”

Seeing a look of fear on Feng Sihuai’s face, Master Liang was even more convinced that his judgment was correct. Who would dare to admit that he had killed someone? Feng Sihuai refused to confess!

If you don’t confess, was there a way out of it?
