Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 18

The city gates of Yan City had already been closed. When Zhou Rui and Zhou Qi, who were at the Weir Village, arrived, they were almost killed like thieves. When they heard that someone had died in the village, they asked the county magistrate for permission. After about an hour, the city gates opened. Three officials and a coroner came out in a horse carriage with drowsy eyes. They asked for directions and then went down to the Weir Village.

Zhou Rui and Zhou Qi followed beside the horse carriage and ran all the way to the Weir Village. They were so tired that they almost collapsed into a pile of mud. They pointed out the Lee family's location and sat down on the side of the road to catch their breath.

Previously, in order to prevent Lady Li from tidying up her messy clothes, Mu Yunyao had knocked people out. It was unknown if her actions were too ruthless, but Madame Li still couldn't wake up due to the noise of the crowd. She waited until the sun was about to rise before slowly waking up.

Under the dim light of the oil lamp, the faces of the people in the room blurred. Madame Li thought she saw a house full of ghosts and immediately cried out, "Help! Help! I know my mistake! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The villagers didn't dare to move in the face of a lawsuit. It was quiet right now, and Madame Li's scream scared many of them.

"Li Clan, what's going on?" Seeing Madame Li finally wake up, Yang Ming hurriedly asked.

After hearing the familiar voice, Lady Li calmed down. "Rizheng, it's Mu Yunyao. She was the one who killed her. I saw with my own eyes that she still wants to kill me. She was possessed by a ghost and burned to death. Hurry up and burn her to death!"

"You old woman, you're too evil, Yun Yao is only a thirteen year old child, how could she kill two men?"

"That's right, you don't like your daughter-in-law and granddaughter but you can't be so indiscriminate about it. Killing someone must be equivalent to your life!"

Madame Li was anxious in her heart, "I'm speaking the truth, how can you not believe me? My leg was broken by that little hoof of Mu Yunyao. She set the fire herself. Believe me, you must believe me!"

"Grandmother …" Mu Yunyao, who was in Su Qing's embrace, slowly woke up. When she heard these words, her face turned deathly pale, and tears of grievance rolled down her face. "I didn't, I didn't dare."

"You …" When Madame Li saw Mu Yunyao's eyes, she felt a chill behind her and subconsciously turned her head.

When the villagers saw her reaction, the shallow doubt in their hearts was immediately dispelled. Madame Li did not dare to look directly at Mu Yunyao. It was all because of her guilty conscience that they could clearly see.

Although the villagers were suspicious, they did not dare to speak carelessly before the officials arrived. After all, it was a matter of life and death. If they could not put it in words, they would have to suffer as well.

"The officials are here!"

Mu Yunyao, who was in Su Qing's embrace, had a slight flicker in her eyes. Her clear eyes were like the surface of a lake that had been stirred up by the gentle breeze, and rippled outwards.

When Lady Li saw the official, her originally dispirited mood immediately became excited, "Old Master Official, it was Mu Yunyao who killed the people. It was she who killed the people. Hurry and capture her. Hurry and arrest her!"

"Quiet!" Although Yan City was not too far away from the Western Tomb of the capital, it was still a small city in the end. The servants would usually catch a bunch of bandits, but once in a year they had access to a few cases, they would not be able to do so. Now that they saw the bloodstains on the ground, they began to mutter in their hearts, but hearing Madame Li's shrill cries, they grew increasingly impatient.

"My lords, this commoner is Yang Ming, the woman who just spoke is Lady Li. In the middle of the night, when some villagers heard Madame Li scream and kill someone, they came to investigate and saw Li's granddaughter Mu Yunyao, covered in blood, running out of the house. When she entered, she found that Master Zhang and his steward, Ding Shan, were both lying on the ground."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "Zhang Cai took the initiative, but he did not die …" The villagers saw the state of Ding Shan's body and thought that he had also died. However, they didn't expect him to just faint on the spot.

Zhang Yongan raised his head and saw the entire room full of people staring at him. He immediately fell backwards in shock and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

When the official saw Dagger, he became nervous. "Where did your dagger come from?"

"Ah, I... "I don't know …"

Mu Yunyao cried out in alarm, "Wuu wuu, mother, Zhang Cai killed me. He has a blade, what a fast blade! My hand was almost chopped off by him!"

"No, I didn't kill anyone, I just... It's Su Qing, Su Qing seduced me to come meet her in the middle of the night. When I came here, I only saw that stinking girl Mu Yunyao, and before I could react, I fainted. I don't know, I don't know anything. "

All of a sudden, the villagers were in a state of disarray. Why was Su Qing involved in this?
