Demon detective

Chapter 48 ancestor worship
Beforehand, Xu Zhen also guessed that even though Qiu Batian's case was a personal grievance, Pan Wending would never just think about the present.

After all, Qiu Batian's background is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and this talent is the key to whether Qiu Batian can be convicted and sentenced.

Therefore, on the road of suing, he must have made sufficient preparations, and the higher-level officials will definitely come to Yanping County to investigate the situation.

Sure enough, Sima Xin and Cai Jin, the governor of Songzhou, were sent to hear the case, which shows how much they attach importance to it.

Xu Zhen was also able to judge that since the higher authorities attached so much importance to this case, they would naturally handle it cautiously, and should focus on "delaying". Most likely, they would not actually deal with it until they communicated with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Therefore, in order to add fuel to the fire as soon as possible, Xu Zhen taught Sima Xin the ins and outs of the case, various clues, and trial ideas in a secret letter.

That is to say, Sima Xin's series of astonishing operations in the courtroom were actually Xu Zhen's masterpieces.

Sima Xin was naturally overjoyed when he found out that the case was nothing more than a frame-up by Pan Wending.In this way, Qiu Batian's charges can be clarified and he can be released without charge, so he no longer has to worry about the attitude of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

So, Sima Xin only took one day to verify the information, and he couldn't wait to be promoted.

Speaking of it, Sima Xin was not an idle person. Although he was in a hurry to get promoted, he still noticed a problem early on, that is, if he wanted to prove that Pan Wending was the real murderer, it would very likely touch on the old case of Qiu Batian killing Pan Wending's family.

Once the case is established, it means that he has done useless work, and Qiu Batian's crime will be more serious.

However, as stable as an old dog, he still performed quite well. When Pan Wending finally mentioned the revenge of destroying the family, he only used the word "evidence" to make Pan Wending speechless.

Just like what he thought in class: If Pan Wending had evidence, he would have directly sued Qiu Batian to kill his whole family, and there was no need to use old man Li's parents to make a big fuss.

However, the world is unpredictable, and he would never have thought that Butler Qiu would come out halfway!

The appearance of this important witness instantly disrupted his rhythm.

Of course, Steward Qiu didn't appear out of thin air, it was also arranged by Xu Zhen early on, so Sima Xin also entered the game unknowingly.

As the so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, Steward Qiu has nothing to lose. He stood up without hesitation not because of Pan Wending, but to avenge his own broken legs...

Finally, Sima Xin panicked and began to use his power, wanting to forcibly withdraw from the court and end the out-of-control trial.

In fact, Xu Zhen's plan ended here.

After Sima Xin forcibly resigned from court, this case will naturally cause an uproar.So Xu Zhen has already joined hands with his cousin to write hundreds of anonymous letters, intending to spread them widely among the people after resigning, to create momentum for public opinion, and to put pressure on Sima Xin...

However, what Xu Zhen didn't expect was that when Sima Xin was about to forcibly withdraw from the hall, an easter egg appeared, and there was a big surprise waiting for him.

To be honest, even if Xu Zhen was brain-dead, it would not be considered the critical moment. Song Zhili would actually step forward, causing the case to undergo a roller coaster-like turnaround...

call……

Recalling Song Zhili's thrilling scene in the courtroom, Xu Zhen took a deep breath.

Even though he knew that Song Zhili did that only for his own benefit, it was admirable to have such courage, right?

His thoughts turned back to his eyes, but he saw that the young daughter-in-law Youmeng had already cleaned up the dining table and was dealing with the floor.

Looking at the graceful figure of a young girl and her youthful vigor, he couldn't help being fascinated again, and some excessive thoughts even flashed through his mind.

Accompanied by these thoughts, Xu Zhen involuntarily began to imagine the future.

Now, Qiu Batian has been completely eradicated, Pan Wending has received his due retribution, and Song Zhili and others are about to face extinction.

In the future, when Song Zhili heard the news that the servant of the Ministry of Officials had not been resigned but was promoted, he would definitely go crazy, and then doubt himself, so this yamen's arrest is also the end of himself.

Moreover, not only the yamen, but I am afraid that Yanping County will not be able to stay any longer, right?
At this time, Youmeng passed by Xu Zhen with a dustpan, and went to take out the garbage in the courtyard.

Xu Zhen actually grabbed her, startled the little girl, and dropped the dustpan to the ground.

"Master, you..."

"Youmeng," Xu Zhen gently embraced Youmeng's shoulders, looked at the house where he lived, and said, "Listen to you, I will find someone to look at the house tomorrow. After selling it, let's leave here and go to the house. Let's start a new life!"

"Master... oh no, young master..." Youmeng looked at Xu Zhen, feeling a little sudden. Although she thought Xu Zhen was already drunk, she still asked expectantly, "Let's leave here, where are we going? Daguan city?"

"No," Xu Zhen said leisurely, "Let's go to Xuanmiao City, the holy capital, and you can let us live a good life with your husband-in-law's ability!"

"Xuan... Xuanmiao City..." Youmeng mulled over this familiar yet unfamiliar name, feeling a little unreal.

"Come on!" Xu Zhen said, "Since the house is going to be sold, you come with me, let's pay homage to our parents!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of Youmeng's feelings, he dragged Youmeng to the backyard.

Soon, they came to the ancestral hall and knelt in front of their parents' tablets.

"My parents are here," Xu Zhen put his hands together and said sincerely, "Youmeng and I want to temporarily sell our ancestral house and go away to another country. We will redeem our ancestral house again when we make a comeback in the future. I hope our parents will forgive us. ..."

All this happened very suddenly, and Youmeng couldn't react, but when he saw Xu Zhen kowtow, he kowtowed anyway.

But after knocking down, she suddenly saw a huge stone in front of Xu Zhen, and Xu Zhen was putting his hand on the stone, as if he was going to move the stone away.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from behind the two of them.

A man in black with a steel knife in his hand appeared in the ancestral hall at some point. Seeing Xu Zhen kowtow, he rushed towards Xu Zhen with a straight stride, stabbing Xu Zhen from the back with a single knife. !

wow...

As a result, the ground suddenly collapsed, and the man in black stepped on the ground and fell straight into the pit.

At the same time, Xu Zhen picked up the stone with both hands, turned around and lifted it, and threw it into the pit without hesitation.

With a scream of wow, there was no sound at the bottom of the pit. Obviously, the man in black was hit by a stone and fainted on the spot...

Humph……

Xu Zhen snorted coldly, and said in his heart, I didn't dig this hole for nothing.

It turned out that Xu Zhen dug a hole here before, not for any treasure, but because he had expected such a day, so he dug a trap.

Probe to look, but saw the man in black lying at the bottom of the pit, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

However, as soon as Xu Zhen raised his head, another man in black rushed into the door. This man couldn't help but raise his hand to shoot a poisonous arrow straight at Xu Zhen's face.

I go……

Xu Zhen didn't react slowly, and hurriedly lowered his head and flashed, the poisonous arrow was quickly nailed to the wooden pillar, and all of them disappeared!

The person who came was not an ordinary person. While firing the poisonous arrow, he had already flew forward and kicked Xu Zhen in the chest.

The huge impact kicked Xu Zhen flying, and his back hit the altar table heavily, knocking the offerings and tablets on the altar table with a clatter.

Swish!
A dagger flashed out from the sleeve arrow of the man in black. He jumped over the pit with one foot and stabbed Xu Zhen's chest...

"what……"

Youmeng had never seen such a scene before, and he exclaimed in shock, only thinking that Xu Zhen would be assassinated in front of his eyes.

However, a short stick whizzed past in mid-air, and hit the man in black in the face.

what?
The man in black turned pale with fright, but he had only a short dagger in his hand. In a hurry, he could only block it with his arms, preparing to catch the short cudgel.

But he never expected that the short stick suddenly changed its shape and swept towards his legs instead.

Boom!
The short stick was powerful and heavy, hitting the person's legs!
The man in black suddenly fell on a big horse, his face and chest fell heavily on the ground, and he was in excruciating pain...

"Oh my god...how can I not even do this well!" Looking up, she saw that the tiger girl Shen Yu was holding a short club, and she said to Xu Zhen with a guilty face, "I I just kept staring at him, but I still hurt my brother, I'm really useless, I..."
