Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 32 Abyss Demon
Luo Ning and Song Zhuer led the way, and the three of them walked out of the alley. The moment they stepped away, Aunt Wang's son returned home, and the two people passed by each other.

Aunt Wang came to Jingzhao Mansion, trembling with fear. Under the leadership of the Yamen and Luo Ning, she ruthlessly entered the morgue for a few taels of silver.

Luo Ning had been supporting her and told the government officials to only expose her head. It was not bad and her face was acceptable, but Aunt Wang still covered her mouth with her hand and held Luo Ning's sleeve tightly.

"Aunt Wang, don't be afraid, just lean on me."

Aunt Wang walked to the corpse, holding back her fear, but the moment she saw Zhang Qiu, she couldn't help but scream and rushed out of the corpse room!

When Aunt Wang left Jingzhao Mansion, two government officials sent her back. Luo Ning couldn't bear it and gave Aunt Wang three taels of silver as a gift.

There was a turn in the case, and the next step was to go to Zhang Qiu's house for verification. In Luo Ning's mind, Zhang Qiu's wife's face, young and a little pale, vaguely appeared.

When Luo Ning walked into the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, Jin Yiwei had already gone to look for Qin Zhao, and the others were sitting by the corridor and chatting and laughing with the beautiful Dali Temple Minister.

It's a good thing to have dinner together. After several dinners, Jin Yiwei and Dali Temple have a much closer relationship. There are no girls in Fusi, Beizhen. When Mr. Luo comes, he is treated like a star.

Qin Zhao came out and saw Luo Ning surrounded by people. He coughed hard several times. When the Jin Yiwei heard this, they all stood up immediately and walked back to the inner office with a smile.

"Next time you come to Beizhen Fusi, don't pay attention to them, don't need to report, just go in and find me!"

Luo Ning looked at Qin Zhao's expression, was he jealous?
"I remembered!"

Luo Ning smiled and winked at Qin Zhao: "Now, sir, let's go with me!"

Qin Zhao didn't even ask: "Let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go wherever you go!"

Well, Luo Ning is not moved, it’s a lie!

On the way, Luo Ning told Qin Zhao about the process of Aunt Wang's body identification. Qin Zhao was also surprised. He shouted around on Zhuque Street and really solved the case.

The two of them came to Zhang Qiu's house again. Zhang Qiu's wife was sitting in the room and had prepared refreshments. Luo Ning was very surprised. Did he...know that she would come?

"My name is Mei Gu. There was a flood in my hometown the year before last and my family couldn't survive. My father sold me to the Zhang family."

Aunt Wang said this, and Luo Ning nodded.

"It was okay at first, my mother-in-law was still alive, but half a year later, suddenly one night, my mother-in-law had a heart attack and passed away without waking up. I really wish I had gone with her, because from then on, I... "

Meigu couldn't speak anymore, choked with sobs, and gently rolled up her sleeves.

If the beautiful girl lives up to her name, no one would object. She is tall, sweet-looking, and although her complexion is a bit pale, she definitely has a beautiful appearance.

But she rolled up her sleeves, Luo Ning and Qin Zhao gasped at the same time.

Qin Zhao has seen too many injuries, but this is the first time he has seen such criss-crossing and bloody wounds.

Not to mention Luo Ning, he had seen many corpses, but he had never seen such scars on a living person.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the two adults, Mei Gu had tears in her eyes and said indifferently: "Yes, it's all true. This is how I have been here for the past two and a half years."

"Yes..." Luo Ning was really frightened: "Zhang Qiu's hand?"

Mei Gu nodded: "After the death of my mother-in-law, Zhang Qiu's temperament changed drastically. He beat me at every turn. There was no one else at home, and I was unable to resist. His attacks became more and more severe."

"Why don't you report him?"

"Report? Who do you think will take care of these household matters?"

Luo Ning sighed, it was indeed true. Although the status of women in Zhao Guo was getting higher and higher, there was really no way to decide which department could intervene in this matter.

Apart from anything else, even she in Dali Temple would not care about this housework. Luo Ning glanced at Qin Zhao, who also frowned, feeling weak in his heart, and sighed.

"I couldn't resist, and after Zhang Qiu played today, he immediately repented and repented. The next day, he was like a new person. He had to be as gentle and gentle as possible. He would promise me that he would never do it again next time..."

Luo Ning seemed to see a woman becoming more and more at a loss amidst the man's repeated emotional changes.

"I always hold on to my longing for the next time. I hope he will change his ways, and I try to be more considerate to him. I want him to remember how good I am, but it keeps happening over and over again, endlessly!"

The three of them were silent. Luo Ning clenched his fists, feeling deeply sad.

Meigu took a look at Qin Zhao, but mustered up her courage, and opened her trouser legs again. On Meigu's calf, there were also mottled and intertwined scars.

"Not only here, but also on my body. Zhang Qiu is very smart and never hurts my face. Even if I am beaten up and can't get out of bed the next day, no one will doubt me. I have been like this for two years." Year!"

"Tell us about the night of the crime. The beautiful girl should also know the purpose of our visit."

Meigu smiled: "Sir, I was the one who killed Zhang Qiu. After his death, I have never been so relaxed. Catch me!"

Luo Ning didn't expect Mei Gu to be so frank, but she didn't feel relaxed at all. For the first time, Luo Ning didn't feel happy because the case was solved, but felt heavy in her heart.

Meigu was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and Luo Ning and Qin Zhaocai returned to Dali Temple. Neither of them said a word on the way.

As he was about to enter Dali Temple, Luo Ning suddenly stood still: "Sir, Zhang Qiu was not killed by Mei Gu!"

"That's~"

"There is one more person, Meigu is protecting him (her), Zhang Qiu died because of the knife in the back! Let's go back to the Ministry of Punishments!"

The two of them returned to the Penal Department Prison. Mei Gu was a little surprised. Why did Mr. Luo come back again?

"Meigu, I know you didn't kill Zhang Qiu, even though you hate him."

"No, I killed him!" Mei Gu felt a little uneasy.

"Mei Gu, I sympathize with you, but truth and feelings sometimes require trade-offs, and what Dali Temple has to do is the truth."

"No, I was the one who killed him." Mei Gu denied: "Sir, I plead guilty. Really, please close the case quickly. I confess to everything." Mei Gu confessed eagerly.

Just as Luo Ning was about to speak, a director of the Criminal Department ran into the prison: "Two adults, a man named Xiaosong outside the Criminal Department surrendered and said that Zhang Qiu was killed by him. Chen Shangshu asked me to tell you."

"No~" Mei Gu heard the director's words and suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs: "No, sir, I killed the person, it's none of Xiaosong's business."

This guy named Xiao Song is only in his 20s. Luo Ning met him once. He and Mei Gu are kneeling in the trial hall of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

If Xiao Song is the murderer, what will Aunt Wang do?Luo Ning was in a mess, this case was really depressing.

"The people in the hall report their names!"

"Grassman Li Song"

"Beautiful Folk Girl"

"Are the two of you convicted?"

"Caomin (women of the grassroots) plead guilty," the two responded in unison.

Li Chang slapped Tang Mu: "This is the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. You are not allowed to wait for nonsense. Seek truth from facts. Which of you killed Zhang Qiu?"

"It's me, my lord." Xiao Song knelt and took a step forward, and said seriously to Li Chang.

Then he turned to Mei Gu: "Mei Gu, you know, they will definitely find out the truth. Don't bear the burden for me. Even if Zhang Qiu kills him thousands of times, I will still make this choice."

Meigu cried: "Xiaosong, I'm sorry for you! It was me who hurt you."

"Stop talking, I don't regret it. It's Zhang Qiu who deserves death."

"Sir, I am also guilty. It was I who made Zhang Qiu bleed to death! It was really me." Meigu burst into tears.

After seeing Zhang Qiu's body, everyone felt that the murderer was cruel, but after seeing Mei Gu's injuries, they felt that Zhang Qiu's death was not a pity.

The next day, the Ministry of Criminal Justice sent the dossier to Dali Temple and gave Luo Ning a copy, and the people from Dali Temple also came to read it together, sighing.

Mei Gu confessed that night:
Zhang Qiu had gone home and had dinner and was lying on a soft couch to rest. He didn't know what happened. He suddenly rushed over and punched the beautiful girl who was cleaning the room into the corner.

Meigu didn't resist, but she kept pleading, because it was only two days since she was last beaten, and the bruise on Meigu's lower abdomen had not dissipated, so Zhang Qiu punched her in the stomach again.

Meigu immediately fell down on the table, Zhang Qiu opened the sleeves on his arms, and started...

(Due to review reasons, detailed description is omitted)
Meigu couldn't bear the pain, and her pleas weakened, but Zhang Qiu had no intention of stopping. Meigu was desperate, so it was better to just end it like this.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Song walked into the yard at this time. Xiao Song had doubts about Mei Gu's condition in the past two years, because once, he accidentally saw the scars on Mei Gu's arms.

He was very curious at the time, but Meigu changed the subject and Xiaosong stopped asking.

The neighbors get along well with each other, and he has always regarded Meigu as his sister. When he saw that Meigu turned out to be living such a miserable life, Xiaosong waved his hand and hit the ball.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiu was addicted to playing and kept playing. After a few moves with Xiao Song, he turned around and kicked Mei Gu again.

Xiaosong blushed, picked up the fruit knife on the table, and stabbed at Zhang Qiu without hesitation.

Zhang Qiu slowly fell down and died.

Meigu was completely free. The grievances and unwillingness she had suffered in the past two years, and the sadness and soreness all over her body after today's beating, made Meigu hate the person in front of her.

After going to the warehouse to get a dagger she didn't usually use, Meigu vented her anger on Zhang Qiu's body.

After calming down, Mei Gu burst into tears. Fortunately, the house was far away from the courtyard gate, so no one heard what happened that night.

Xiao Song thought of a way, tied the stones to his ankles, and drove Zhang Qiu's carriage all the way out of the city under the cover of night.

After Zhang Qiu's body was thrown into Taihu Lake, Xiao Song was relieved and regretted his impulse a little. If the plan was more detailed, it would definitely be handled better than it is now.

Xiaosong didn't dare to bring the carriage back, so he disbanded directly by Taihu Lake.

Meigu continued to live, as if nothing had happened, someone came to ask, Zhang Qiu had already traveled far by car, and the date of return was uncertain.

Until today, when Aunt Wang came home from Jingzhao Mansion, Xiao Song knew that he was finished!

Seeing Qin Zhao and Luo Ning taking Mei Gu away again, he knew that Mei Gu would definitely protect him, but he didn't want to, he wanted to protect Mei Gu in turn.

He left a note for Aunt Wang and came to the Ministry of Punishment to surrender. He wondered if Aunt Wang would regret sending his son to prison for a few taels of silver.

Luo Ning closed the file and rubbed his eyebrows with his hands, feeling the depression in his heart lingering for a long time.

　Writing this story is very heavy. Domestic violence has been repeatedly broadcast in the news these days, which makes me sympathize with those women. I really hope that every girl can open her eyes wide, marry her husband, and live a life like a flower.

　　What would it be like if there was a girl as smart as Luo Ning? "Twin Flowers"
