Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 19

"Which one is Mu Yunyao?" the official asked.

Mu Yunyao secretly squeezed Su Qing's hand to comfort her, but her face was pale and terrified. Under the crowd's gaze, she slowly stepped forward. "I'm Mu Yunyao."

The official immediately frowned. Such a young girl who had yet to grow up was so delicate and weak that she could kill someone? That Ding Shan was tall and strong, being able to pick up Mu Yunyao with one hand. A twelve to thirteen year old little girl being able to kill him was simply a joke!

The coroner had already started examining the corpse. After inspecting Ding Shan's body, he looked at the dagger on the ground before walking over to Mu Yunyao's side with a friendly expression. "This lady, would you allow me to take a look at your arm?"

Mu Yunyao shrunk back into Su Qing's embrace, but didn't refuse. Her entire body trembled as she extended her arm out.

There was a difference between males and females. The coroner asked Su Qing to help remove the cloth wrapped around Mu Yunyao's arm, and when he saw the cut, he immediately took a deep breath. The wound was very deep, and once the cloth was removed, blood flowed nonstop.

"Brother Liu, how was it?" An official looked at the coroner.

The coroner handed the dagger over, giving a meaningful look to Zhang Jiexi.

The official immediately understood. He looked at Zhang Yongan with a guarded expression, "If there's anything you want to say, you should go to the county magistrate court first. The magistrate will decide on his own. Take him away!" "You …" The official looked at Mu Yunyao and spoke in a less vicious tone, "Even if you're a witness, you still have to follow us to the county magistrate court. Also, bring Madame Li, who just spoke, along with us."

The officials and coroners had a total of four people. If they wanted to carry Ding Shan's corpse and even hold Zhang Yongan and Mu Yunyao captive, they wouldn't be able to do anything about carrying Madame Li. Besides, the man was bloody. The carriage was borrowed by coroner Liu to catch the night. He couldn't let it get dirty.

Li Zhengming quickly called for people to help him carry Lady Li and Dingshan, then followed the officials to Yan City. When something happened to the villagers, it would be a pair of orphans and widows, so of course they wouldn't ignore it.

Mu Yunyao's body was weak, and she had lost a bit too much blood. When she arrived at the village entrance, her face was so pale that she couldn't move a single step. Su Qing hurriedly supported her. "Yao`er, mother will carry you."

"No, mother … I'm fine, I can go. "

"The wound on your head hasn't fully healed, and your arm was almost chopped off. By the time you reach Yan City, your life will be gone." Looking at her pale face, Su Qing's heart felt like it had been stabbed with a knife.

Examiner Liu looked at Mu Yunyao and waved her hand, "You are a witness. If anything happens, why don't you go sit in the carriage."

Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment before her eyes were filled with gratitude, "Thank you, milord. Thank you." After saying that, she lightly pulled on Su Qing's sleeves, "Mother, Lord wants us to ride in the carriage!"

Mother's health wasn't that good either. She would only stay when there was a carriage for her to sit on. She couldn't stand watching her mother suffer.

Su Qing said embarrassedly, "You can take a seat, mother will be fine."

"Mother, I'm afraid if you're not here. Let's go, let's go." After which, he dragged Su Qing and walked towards the carriage. Su Qing didn't dare to use too much strength. Afraid that it would affect her wounds, she could only lower her head and climb onto the carriage.

The coroner pretended that he did not see anything. They got into the carriage and drove away.

Fifty to sixty villagers entered Yan City in a grandiose manner. This immediately attracted the attention of the common folk of Yan City. After asking for the reason, the entire city became lively and rushed towards the county magistrate's office.

In the largest restaurant in Yan City, the guard Yu Heng reported respectfully, "Master, it's a villager from Xia Yan Village. They say that a murder case has occurred in a family with the surname of Mu."

The man with the cold expression raised his eyes slightly. With a trace of interest in his cold gaze, he said, "Go take a look." He had just stolen something from him, and there was already such a commotion. How dare he!

Yan City County Magistrate had long since heard of the case, and upon seeing that a few officials had returned, he immediately asked about it.

Madame Li had long been scared witless. She only wanted to clear her mind, but when she saw County Magistrate Liu Yuan, she immediately shouted, "Master Qingtian, it was Mu Yunyao who killed that person. It has nothing to do with me.

"Pah!" After the shocking news, Liu Yuan let out a cold shout, "How can there be any noise in the main hall? Are you Mrs Li?"

"Yes, it's a woman, my lord!"
