Master Zhang looked at Mo Wenjie after hearing this, isn't this your sworn brother, Captain Mo?
Qian Xiaoyong nodded and agreed, yes, Lord City!
Master Zhang continued, "The person brought by Liu the guard has implicated him as the murderer of my grandson, Zhang Taishan. Does he have anything to explain?"
Qian Xiaoyong nodded and said, "Lord City, my brother certainly did not commit the murder of Master Zhang. He has no such strength, how could he kill Master Zhang? Furthermore, Yellow Lord Minister has already divined that Master Zhang died from the mouth of an animal, which everyone knows. Now Liu the guard suddenly brings a person to say that my brother is the murderer of Master Zhang. I cannot understand this matter. Is it to accuse my brother or to intentionally target me?"
Liu the guard spoke up in haste: "What do you mean, Captain Mo? Do you mean that I have wronged your brother or intentionally targeted you?"
Qian Xiaoyong looked at Liu the guard and nodded. "Is this not obvious? Yellow Lord Minister's divination skills are well-known throughout Yundu City. He said that Master Zhang died in the mouth of a beast. Now you bring someone to accuse my brother of murder. You really are playing a three-for-one trick!"
Liu the guard was so angry that he was as red as a beetroot. "How can you say such nonsense, Captain Mo? How could I be playing a three-for-one trick?"
Qian Xiaoyong glanced at Qin Feifei, "You have brought this lady to accuse my brother of murdering Master Zhang. The first is that it proves the divination skills of Yellow Lord Minister are a lie! Second, it sows discord between me and the Lord City, showing that I harbor a murderer! Third, it uses the Lord City's hand to eliminate my brother, a pharmacist. Isn't this a three-in-one shot?"
Liu the guard pounded his foot in anger upon hearing this, "Lord City, please don't believe his words! I absolutely don't mean that. It's all because Qian Xiaoyong is speaking nonsense!"
Master Zhang looked at Mo Wenjie and asked, "Do you know this woman?"
Mo Wenjie nodded, "Her name is Qin Feifei. Of course, I know her. Moreover, we had a relationship in the secret realm. However, I was going deep into the secret realm, and she did not want to die with me, so she left me. I thought we would never meet again in this life, but I never expected to see her again here today. She said that I killed Master Zhang. I want to ask her if it was witnessed by her eyes?"
Master Zhang stared at Qin Feifei, "You claim that he killed my grandson. Is it something you witnessed with your own eyes?"
Qin Feifei shook her head upon hearing this, "I didn't witness it myself. He told me himself!" Is there any deception in that?
Mo Wenjie looked at Qin Feifei and said, "I never thought you would be such a person. Don't you feel heartache for falsely accusing him? Or is it that someone deliberately makes you say this?"
Liu the guard immediately scolded Mo Wenjie, "Murderer Mo Wenjie, you need to answer the question straightforwardly. Don't try to dodge the issue! The law is vast and all-encompassing, and it's impossible for you to evade responsibility!"
Qian Xiaoyong heard this and quickly stopped the angrily pacing Liu the guard. "I say, Captain Mo, you're a man of honor and won't be affected by a crooked shadow. You have no such intentions. Shouldn't we listen to the Lord City's judgment now? You see how Yellow Lord Minister is, she invalidated Yellow Lord Minister's divination skills with just one sentence. She hasn't said anything else, but she still respects Yellow Lord Minister and learns from her. It's better to be cautious and prudent."
Liu the guard, upon hearing this, was so angry that he trembled all over. "Captain Mo, what do you mean by that?"
Qian Xiaoyong shook her head and said, "I have no particular meaning. I just wanted to tell you that the Lord City is in charge of the case now, and we should not interfere!"
Liu the guard immediately stopped talking, he was afraid that the Lord City would blame him too, and it would be bad for him!
Master Zhang looked at Liu the guard and said, "Since Qin Feifei says you are the murderer of my grandson, she can't just make things up out of nowhere. Shouldn't you give a reasonable explanation?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qin Feifei and said, "In response to the Lord City's question, Qin Feifei accused me of being the murderer of Master Zhang. She has no way to prove it, she just said it was me who said it. If I deny it, there is no way to prove it. Whoever is lying between us two?" Therefore, Mo Wenjie wanted Qin Feifei's cousin to come and prove his innocence!
Master Zhang looked at Mo Wenjie and asked, "What relationship do you have with Qin Feifei's cousin?"
Mo Wenjie replied, "Lady City, Qin Feifei's cousin is a maid in my household. A few days ago, when she went home, her cousin told her about my current situation. She has reconciled with me since then and asked her cousin to send a message for me to pick her up at her cousin's house. Of course, I would not go to pick her up, so she harbored a grudge and reported me to the Lord City as the murderer of Master Zhang. The specific details can be clarified by asking her cousin."
Master Zhang nodded, "Bring Qin Feifei's cousin!"
Ju was brought to the main hall!
Master Zhang looked at Ju, "Are you Qin Feifei's cousin?"
Ju nodded and said, "Lord City, I am Qin Feifei's cousin!"
Master Zhang continued to ask, "Do you know the relationship between your cousin Qin Feifei and Mo Wenjie?"
Ju shook her head hurriedly upon hearing this, "I didn't know at first. It was when I went home that my cousin Qin Feifei was at my house. She asked me if I worked for a big family in Yundu City? I told her that I worked at Master Mo Wenjie's house, and the young master has been very good to us all. My cousin then told me that she knew our young master and they had a relationship in the past. She asked me to send a message for the young master to come and pick her up at my house. The young master didn't go to pick up my cousin, and this is how things are now. If my young master had gone to pick up my cousin, the outcome wouldn't have been like this!"
Master Zhang looked at Liu the guard and asked, "Do you know this girl, Qin Feifei?"
Qin Feifei nodded quickly, "She is my cousin, the daughter of my uncle's family!"
Master Zhang nodded. "So, did you hear what she said just now? Is what she said true?"
Qin Feifei nodded and said, "What my cousin said is all true!"
Master Zhang nodded, "Since you admit that your cousin's words are all true, then it's because Master Mo Wenjie didn't go to pick you up, so you harbor a grudge and run to Captain Liu to complain and falsely accuse Master Mo Wenjie of being the murderer of my grandson! In this way, you can put him in jail and fulfill your chance for revenge!"
Qin Feifei, upon hearing this, turned pale. "Lord City, I'm innocent! I really didn't defame him. Master Zhang was really killed by him; he is the murderer!"
At this time, someone beat the drum to cry for justice.
Master Zhang heard the drum beating and, already in a foul mood with nowhere to vent his anger, decided to not hold back now that someone was seeking trouble. "Bring the drummer forward!" he commanded.
In no time, a large group of people arrived!
Master Zhang saw this and shook his head, "How many people are there! What injustices do you have? Wait until the Lord City finishes handling this case, and then we will take up your cases!"
Jiang Yuran took a step forward, "I am Jiang Yuanyuan from the Jiang family. I have come to cry for justice for my fiancé?"
Master Zhang glanced at Jiang Yuran, "Who is your fiancé? Let's talk about it later!"
Jiang Yuran shook her head and said, "My fiancé is the defendant, Mo Wenjie!"
Master Zhang looked at Jiang Yuran and asked, "Mo Wenjie is your fiancé?"
Xiao Yawen stepped forward as well, "Mo Wenjie is also my fiancé, Xiao Yawen from the Xiao family!"
Ding Yan also stepped forward, "Mo Wenjie is also my fiancé, Ding Yan from the Ding family!"
Tuo Baoying also stepped forward bravely, "Mo Wenjie is also my fiancé, Tuo Baoying from the Tuo family!"
Everyone present was bewildered. "What's going on here? Wasn't it said that Mo Wenjie's engagement banquet was with the daughters of the three major families? How did it become four families? Could there be secret engagements?"
Qian Xiaoyong heard this and laughed loudly, "My brother is so cool! Lord City, take a look at my sisters-in-law. Who isn't from an influential family and beautiful? Compared to Qin Feifei, how can she compete? After she abandoned my brother and learned about my brother's news from her cousin, she wanted to reconcile with him. My brother didn't want to. So she accused him of being a murderer! Such a malicious person! The words of her cousin, Lord City, you have all heard them. I don't know if it was her idea or if someone deliberately made her say it. Please, Lord City, investigate!"
Liu the guard, upon hearing this, became heated. "Captain Mo, what do you mean by that? You suspect me of being intentional, do you? Please investigate it carefully, Lord City!"
Master Zhang looked at everyone and said, "Lord Minister Huang, please perform another divination for my grandson and find out how he died. You must be meticulous in your calculations. If there are any errors, don't blame me for not being courteous to you!"
Huang Dao Ling answered quickly, "Lord City, don't worry. I always perform divinations with care. That's why people gave me the title of 'diviner'. For these many years, I have been helping the Lord City to divine. Have I ever made a mistake once?" He immediately added, "Let me perform another divination!"
Huang Dao Ling took out his divination tools and started the divination. After a while, he spoke, "Lord City, after my divination, Master Zhang still died from the mouth of a beast. I will guarantee this with my life!"
Master Zhang looked at Qin Feifei and then at Liu the guard. "You, this girl... What's the situation? You brought her to the City Lord's Mansion without questioning. She caused such a commotion, defaming Captain Qian's brother-in-arms, and even slandering Lord Minister Huang's divination art. Do you know what kind of consequences this could have? Do I need to remind you?"
Liu the guard sweated immediately upon hearing this. "This is a big hat! It's not small. This will offend two people at once! And that's not all. The four major families in Yundu City will have objections to him in the future. He thought about it and was scared. If Captain Qian and Lord Minister Huang join forces against him, Lord City will definitely side with them. Moreover, in order to appease the anger of the four major families, he will be dismissed and investigated. He thought about it and was even more scared. His only option now is to sacrifice himself to protect the vehicle." He concluded, "Lord City, I am sorry for my ignorance and for believing this woman's slanderous words, which almost caused a great disaster. I am sorry for making Captain Qian's brother-in-arms wrongly accused and for misunderstanding Lord Minister Huang and you. It was all done by this evil woman. Please punish her severely so that others can learn from her!"
Master Zhang looked at everyone and said, "This woman almost stirred up conflict between you and caused me to misunderstand you. Have her executed!"
