Chapter 671 Bewitched

The shopkeeper really didn't know how the Junhou's mansion was arranged later, he said truthfully, he was at ease, no one would think too much about it.

And this was originally just a small business between Ji Qingyan and Yun Junhou, thinking what if there is no business when it opens today?At least I have a big client.

The results indirectly proved that the roasted whole lamb and the stewed beef had no quality problems, and it was even less likely to be poisonous.

So many people ate last night, and today the restaurant opened today, if it was poisonous, something would have happened.

Moreover, Marquis Yun also temporarily took out his family's New Year's food for others to eat, and he was just on guard, not premeditated, to sue the Zheng family for killing people with poison?
Why do they believe that the Zheng family murdered the Yun family on the spur of the moment?

Everyone was discussing this incident, and in the end the most unanimous opinion was to praise Yun Junhou's character.

"Marquis Yun Jun is really a good man!"

"He is a good man who is loyal to the emperor and loves the people!"

"Yes, it would be better if there were more people like the Yun family! Only fewer people like the Zheng family would make the world peaceful!"

"..." Everyone scolded Zheng's family while sighing with emotion. It's always easy to gossip and drink.

However, the atmosphere in Shuntian Mansion's court was solemn, and the case was tried behind closed doors for the sake of the court's face.

But Zheng Qi firmly insisted that the Yun family was framing him, and he spent money to stay away, so he was supposed to settle down, so how could something happen again?
Still kill!
Not only did he deny it, but he also said that the housekeeper was the last person he saw last night, but he went downstairs and went back to sleep. After all, it was so late and he hadn't seen the housekeeper in the morning.

The implication is that the butler has disappeared, and as for how he disappeared, I have to ask the young masters of the Yun family.

Zheng Qi's eloquence also let everyone see that they couldn't help frowning.

Because the Black Eagle brothers had already been recruited, the housekeeper was also taken to the scene, and the person the housekeeper murdered was a witness.

In this way, they insisted on their own words and quarreled with each other, until Brother Black Eagle and the butler suddenly confronted each other emotionally and said everything.

Not only that, but the housekeeper also reported to Zheng Qi with a happy face.

"My lord, those six families have been poisoned. I believe we will hear the good news tomorrow morning, no more, no less than twelve! Just draw a perfect ending for this year."

"What? My lord, you want me to bear the responsibility alone? No, no, my lord, how can you push me out before the last moment, what I did is unknown, and you don't know, don't worry!"

The Black Eagle Brothers didn't matter, they just told the process they knew, but the housekeeper seemed to be in a dream, talking to himself there, with a vivid expression like the real situation.

No one knew that it was Ji Qingyan who came in person, and cast an illusion on the housekeeper of Zheng's house, making him think that he had completed the task and returned to his life.

This illusion is only for the Black Eagle Brothers and the steward of Zheng's house, it is useless for Zheng Qi, but Zheng Qi's mood at the moment is more painful than being poisoned.

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper who has always been relying heavily on, the housekeeper who has always been capable, will go crazy at this critical moment and shake everything out.

Even if he immediately cut off his tail and treated the housekeeper as an abandoned son, he would be speechless.

"Don't you think that the housekeeper in my mansion has become very strange? It seems...bewitched!"

This was the only way Zheng Qi could think of.

"It looks strange, but he is only telling the remaining half of the truth now. They have already recruited him and Brother Black Eagle to kill people."

"Firstly, there was no punishment, and secondly, no pressure was applied, so I was recruited in court, and now I just talk more." Shuntian Fuyin looked coldly at Zheng Qi, who refused to admit it.

Zheng Qi was originally a servant of the household department, but later he was demoted to a higher level, and now he is only a doctor, but he is still impeaching him, Mr. Yin.

"As I said before, when the people who gathered outside my house left last night, the housekeeper and I watched them leave from the upper floor of our house. After that, we went back and went our separate ways."

"In the morning, I asked the housekeeper to give me instructions, but I had already disappeared. I was looking for someone to ask questions. Then I received a police report from Shuntian Mansion that my housekeeper had committed a crime. I was so frightened to death that I came here in a hurry."

"I dare not tell my father about this, lest he get angry and the disease will get worse." Zheng Qi reiterated his "knowledge" with an indignant face.

The housekeeper dragged him into the water because of his ineffectiveness, which is no longer acceptable.

Ji Qingyan hid here and watched for a long time, and couldn't help sneering, the Zheng family is indeed very powerful, even if they can't get rid of him this time, they can't be soft in the future.

It's a pity that she can only play tricks, but she can't really hurt people.

But it is very easy to force the truth out of people with illusion.

Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, and the case seems to be clear, but Zheng Qi dismissed himself on the grounds that the housekeeper disappeared.

After deliberation among several court officials, a decision was made.

The case of attempted poisoning and murder was established. The mastermind, the assailant Zheng’s housekeeper, and the assailants, the Heiying brothers, pleaded guilty in court and were imprisoned in Dali Temple.

Zheng Qi was charged with the poisoning and murder case, but the evidence was insufficient, so he temporarily reported it to the imperial court, and stayed in his post pending investigation, and was ordered not to leave the capital, and waited at home for a report.

Although so many adults have discussed such a result, it is also very unfavorable to Zheng Qi and the Zheng family, but Zheng Qi gritted his teeth and accepted such a solution.

And looked at Yunjunhou with awe-inspiring face, and said coldly: "The law of heaven has reincarnation! There will always be retribution! I, Zheng Qi, do the right thing! Stand up straight! I'm not afraid of your investigation!"

After Zheng Qi finished speaking, he bowed to the adults sitting in the hall, turned around and left.

"I'm going to the palace." Seeing Zheng Qi leaving angrily, Lord Yushi couldn't help but shook his head and got up slowly.

"Old master, thank you for your hard work, but it's a pity that I was still entangled by people because I was on guard. It's not convenient to enter the palace now, so as not to lose people's tongue again." Yun Junhou hurriedly got up and saluted, and said helplessly.

"You don't have to worry about this matter if you leave a testimony, go home and go." Lord Yushi waved his hand quickly and smiled.

"It's not easy for your Yun family to come to this day. Worshiping ancestors is a major event. The emperor said yesterday that if he hadn't presided over the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, he would have wanted to offer a stick of incense to the ancestors of the Yun family."

In the dark, Ji Qingyan couldn't help but blink her eyes when she heard it. It turned out that the emperor had to preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in the first day of the new year.

Marquis Yun bowed to thank the emperor for his kindness, and sent Lord Yushi to the carriage outside Shuntian Mansion, and he went back on foot.

Along the way, people asked how the case was going, but he just shook his head and smiled, saying that he was not afraid of the shadow being crooked.

Not to mention anything else, he has indeed been a positive role model and has become the target everyone looks up to.

Walking and walking to a corner, Ji Qingyan and Yun Lin appeared beside them.

"So you're here." Yun Zheng and the others couldn't help saying happily when they saw them.

"Yan'er, was that illusion just now?" Yun Junhou asked with a smile.

"Well, the illusion was only cast on the three prisoners and lasted for three days. Even if the confession is withdrawn after a year, unless other strong evidence is provided, it will be difficult to reverse it. The Zheng family may also be accused of adultery and collusion."

Ji Qingyan said with a smile.
