The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 654: Only One Death (3)_1

But now, what has it become? A pair of boots has ruined everything! And him... Elder Shen of the Shen family, who is also the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, if he lets the Ministry of Justice send someone to investigate, he... Is death his only option!?

Mo Heng gave him a cold look and left with Pei Qin.

Pei Qin glanced at Ding Dalang and stopped, "There shouldn’t be anyone else left in your family, should there? You look no more than a teenager, if you die as well, your family would truly be wiped clean!"

Ding Dalang had a younger brother, who died of illness, leaving Ding family with only him. As he watched Pei Qin and Mo Heng leaving, his fear finally exploded, "Lady Mo! Save me! Lady Mo, save me!" He crawled and scrambled towards the door.

Magistrate Huang’s eyes turned fierce, a glint of murderous intent flashing in them, "Catch him! Ding Dalang has gone mad!"

A few government officials ran out to catch Ding Dalang.

The others looked at each other and didn’t move. This County Magistrate’s career is over! They still need to make a living at the County Government Office of Yuanyang County! Whoever steps forward is an idiot!

Ding Dalang crawled and ran outside, "Lady Mo, save me!"

A few government officials came up and pinned him down.

Mo Heng turned and with a swift kick sent the government officials trying to grab Ding Dalang flying, several kicks in succession sent them all sprawling, and he stood firm in front of Ding Dalang, "Is Magistrate Huang acting out of desperation, trying to silence him by killing him on the spot?"

"Oh, driven to a desperate action, aren’t we?" Pei Qin sarcastically sneered.

Magistrate Huang’s face turned ugly, trembling as he clasped his hands, striving to remain calm, "My lady! The lower official feared that Ding Dalang harbored resentment and would lunge at my lady in desperation, hence ordered him to be stopped." As he spoke, cold sweat had already begun to seep from his forehead.

"No, it’s not that! My grandfather was framed! It was Magistrate Huang who sent me to accuse my lady! He also said to bite down hard and not let go until my lady settles it secretly, then compensates me with a sum of silver!" Ding Dalang immediately spilled everything.

"Stop your nonsense! This official is also investigating based on evidence!" Magistrate Huang shouted angrily, his heartbeat racing as he looked at Pei Qin and Mo Heng.

"Then I’m sure the Ministry of Justice will also make a judgment based on the evidence," Pei Qin said, then waved her hand at Magistrate Huang.

"Or perhaps Magistrate Huang can catch the mastermind," Mo Heng looked at him deeply, instructing Ding Dalang to follow Feng Wei and listen to his arrangements.

Ding Dalang was terrified, with only himself left in the Ding family, alone and destitute, and now his life hung in the balance. Seeing that Pei Qin and Mo Heng were formidable people, if by helping them expose Magistrate Huang he could be spared, then he would help expose Magistrate Huang!

Magistrate Huang watched him leaving with Mo Heng’s men, anxious beyond measure. Although he didn’t know much, he was present at Master Ding’s death and surely knew something.

Meanwhile, Mo Heng had already reported back to Runing Prefecture.

With expedited delivery, the message could arrive in two days.

Magistrate Huang felt unceasing despair, immediately writing letters to his superiors for help, pleading for salvation. Even if he lost his official position, he must save his life! At the same time, he quietly concealed his wealth, thinking of using money to bribe Sir Magistrate, preparing to use money to save his life.

Magistrate Meng Dinglun of Runing Prefecture had already been bested by Pei Qin once. A death sentence that was all but confirmed, yet she managed to turn crisis into safety, finding light at the end of the tunnel. With the support of Elder Shen of the Shen family. That Huang Youzhong dared to falsely accuse her of murder, such a capital crime was truly audacious!

Meng Dinglun dared not reach out to save him. It was not worth risking getting dragged down with him. If Pei Qin wanted to bring about his downfall at this critical juncture, then Huang Youzhong was unlikely to escape death!

Qian Wanxiu had not expected that Pei Qin would have such good luck. Even after poisoning the soy sauce in the Palace, affecting the Emperor and consort, she didn’t die. The evidence for this incident was seamless. With her naturally violent nature, frequently beating people, there was evidence to this, and everybody in the town knew about it. She also had martial arts skills, many townspeople had witnessed her beating Master Ding, it was an inescapable crime! Yet unthinkable, she had slipped away again, all because of a pair of boots, it was infuriating!
