The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 277 The Return of the Dead

This time he was promoted, there were quite a few people who came to watch.

Witnesses appeared one by one, including Wen Pei.

Regarding Chen Yuan's question that day, Wen Pei confessed honestly this time that the pair of turquoise earrings was indeed Madam Qi's dowry, but it was given to Madam Xu a few days before giving birth.

Outsiders don't know about this matter, the young lady gave it to Nanny Xu in front of her at that time, and Nanny Xu didn't take it out to wear it even after winning the reward.

In the end, it also advanced to the point that Chen Yuan deduced in the conference hall that day that Nanny Xu still had a helper.

"Who is this helper?"

"It must be someone from Luo inspector's mansion."

"Otherwise, it would not be so easy to lure away the people guarding outside the mourning hall, and there is still a certain right to speak in the Luo Mansion."

"I guess it's Mrs. Liu."

"I don't think so. I think it's Madam Qi's other girl, Wenying. From the appearance of Wenpei and Madam Xu's loyalty to the Qi family, I can guess that Wenying must also be a loyal servant, and Qi's He is indeed a good master who makes people respect and people are willing to be loyal."

At this time, a female voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, "It was Wenying and Madam Xu who saved me."

saved me?
Everyone was taken aback.

They all turned to look at the person who was speaking.

The speaker took off the veiled hat on his head, revealing a familiar face of an old man from the county yamen and old man from the Luo mansion.

"Qi!"

"lady!"

Wen Pei, who was kneeling on the ground, burst into tears, moved her knees and approached her, "Miss, you are still alive, great, great, I can still see you!"

Dressed in black coarse cloth and dressed as a peasant woman, Qi walked into the lobby without hindrance.

Walking to Wenpei's side, the short body held Wenpei who was crying like a child in his arms, and tears rolled down his cheeks, "Xiaopei, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were still alive, so I made you wronged."

Wen Pei, who was as stubborn as a donkey in front of the yamen servants and wanted to die, put away the thorns all over her body at this moment.

"No, I'm not wronged. It's all my fault that I didn't stay by Miss's side, didn't protect Miss well, and let you be killed by that heartless person."

"Miss, I avenged you, I killed him." Wen Pei wanted to laugh, but also a little scared, timidly raised her head to look at Qi's face that had become much thinner, "Miss, you won't blame me, will you?"

"I don't blame you, he... died without injustice."

With the affirmation of the lady, Wen Pei grinned happily.

Qi's heart ached, and he touched her head, "It's just that killing him will dirty your hands instead."

Being pitied so much by Miss, Wen Pei only felt that this life was enough, "Miss!"

Qi patted Wenpei comfortingly, then knelt beside her, "Master Zhixian, after I was rescued by Nanny Xu and Wenying, Wenying entrusted me to the trustworthy Orion who had bought mountain goods. Beside the couple, it's remote and safe."

"I was injured for three years before I was able to go to the field. I wanted to report to the government, but found that he was too powerful. I didn't want to make Wenying lose her life, so I kept my name incognito. It was only two days ago that the Orion couple told me that Luo Cheng had just been killed by me. The girl Wenpei was killed, today I am here to testify that Luo Chenggang deserves to die, he bribed Midwife Lin to kill me."

It turned out that when Chen Yuzuo also guessed wrong, Guan Zhixian felt emotional. Fortunately, the inspector Liu Liu was not invited to the county government the day before yesterday, otherwise he would be ashamed.

"Qi, why did Luo Chenggang kill you?"

The Qi family was resolute, and said with a sneer, "For the property of my Qi family."

The Luo family once opened an escort agency in Jinyang County, the Chaozhou government, and the Qi family was in the medicinal material business.

Once Qi's father was robbed by mountain bandits, and just happened to encounter the Luo Family Escort Bureau passing by. Luo Chenggang's father rescued Qi's father.

Since then, the two families have been in frequent contact and have business contacts.

Luo Chenggang was once a noble young master, but the Luo Family Escort got into trouble, the bodyguards were killed and injured countless times, Luo Chenggang's father also died, and Luo Chenggang had nothing.

This reason is also justified.

Guan Zhixian asked again, "Why did you do it when you were giving birth? Your child is also his child."

Qi smiled, but it made people feel sad.

"Cheng Gang said to my corpse, cutting the weeds without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blowing deeply, he didn't want to leave a sinful son to revenge him in his later years, and told me not to blame him."

Some people just like to be honest with the person they killed.

Guan Zhixian was not surprised, but he still had to continue to ask, "Your maid Wenying told Wenpei when Wenpei found her that Mrs. Liu seduced Luo Chenggang in the mourning hall. Is this true or false?"

Qi turned her head and looked indifferently at Mrs. Liu who did not have to kneel to answer because of her official position.

"Wenying didn't tell me about it, I don't know."

"Then, you're still alive, ahem, before you were assassinated by Luo Chenggang, did you find out that Mrs. Liu had a close relationship with your husband in the mansion?" Guan Zhixian pretended nothing happened with a straight face.

Qi thought for a while, "I haven't found it before."

"Then, based on what you know about Wen Ying, how true is what she said to Wen Pei?"

Qi lowered her head, "I don't know."

"Then why didn't she tell you that Wen Pei is still alive?"

Only then did Qi raise her head, "Nurse Xu once betrayed me because of Luo Chenggang's threat. Of course, she also paid the price with her life to save me. But, because of this, Wenying no longer dared to trust anyone, even Nanny can betray me, she doesn't know how many people have been bribed by Luo Chenggang, she doubts everyone except herself. "

"This, maybe it's because she didn't dare to tell Wen Pei that I was still alive, and she didn't dare to tell me that Wen Pei was still alive, for fear that I would not be able to help but come out to find her, and thus expose my whereabouts."

This statement is also tenable, so Guan Zhixian had no choice but to ask others, "Where is Wenying?"

Madam Qi lowered her head again, sobbing, "She has been missing for three years, probably because Luo Chenggang disposed of her as an old person by my side."

"Back then, was the child in your belly still alive?"

Qi smiled miserably, her jaw twitched, "Oh, do you think it's possible?"

Guan Zhixian, who was asked rhetorically, of course would not answer her question, "Qi, you were conscious in the coffin at that time, right?"

Otherwise, how could I hear Luo Chenggang's true feelings?

Qi replied, "Sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious."

The rigorous answer made Guan Zhixian, who wanted to find some loopholes, feel disappointed, "Then, when you were alive, did you ever tell Luo Chenggang that you love beauty and don't want to be seen ugly after death?"

"I did say that to Luo Chenggang."

"When did you say it, can outsiders hear it?"

"Husband and wife whisper, no one has heard."

A person who has already been killed by her husband once said this in public without any shame.

Guan Zhixian, "Then when you were still in the coffin, Luo Cheng just covered your face with a brocade handkerchief?"

Qi, "I don't know. At that time, my whole body was in pain and cold, and I was not sensitive to the perception of the outside world."

No other questions can be asked from Qi's mouth. If she was clever enough to detect the adultery in the mansion, she would not be killed in a daze.

Hiding in the deep mountains, she was even more isolated from the world. Her appearance was of no use except to prove that Luo Chenggang had indeed bribed Midwife Lin to kill her.

Later, the county magistrate summoned the Orion couple who took Qi's house.
