Chapter 1166: 1166 Chapter 1166: 1166 “`
“This kind of woman is despicable enough, and now she wants to fra Chuan for a capital cri and even disrupts the investigation of the officials.
She deserves to be beaten to death!” bystanders said indignantly, chiming in.
Hearing this, the officials beat the reviled woman even more vigorously.
After changing her appearance, Su Qingyue saw Zhu Nengwen also among the crowd, quietly walked up behind him, and pressed lightly on his shoulder.
He turned around in pain, glaring at her, “Can’t you be a little more careful!”
“My apologies.” Su Qingyue said with a smile, hurriedly leaving the crowd.
anwhile, the twenty brutal beatings continued, half killing Liu Xianglian, with her buttocks bloody and torn; she had long since fainted from the pain.

Liu Zheng’s ten beatings, on the other hand, were still t with her screams.
Huang Mazi watched his wife being battered and, thinking about the cost of her dical treatnt, felt incredibly unlucky.
Together with a few of the Liu family relatives, they carried the battered mother and daughter away.
The villagers who had originally gathered to watch, seeing the county magistrate present, and fearing to speak out of turn and receive a beating themselves, remained silent, not even whispering.
Wang Qigu, who had previously been vocal about Yuchuan committing murder, was now fearfully hiding towards the back, daring not to speak recklessly.
She had co to understand that until the officials had passed judgnt, one should not casually accuse soone of murder in front of them, otherwise, they might receive a painful lesson.
The four officials, having executed the beatings, returned to Hua Lizheng’s yard and stood to attention on either side.
Zheng Dejun began, “Continue the investigation.
Xiao Yuchuan and Li Gui currently lack an eyewitness to vouch for his arm injury.
Although Ding Er has a witness, Xiao Taohong, who wasn’t present at the scene…”
By the ti Su Qingyue had quietly returned ho, removed the fake beard, washed off the makeup, changed into a woman’s dress and returned to her original appearance, Zheng Dejun’s investigation had just concluded.
He ordered, “Take Xiao Yuchuan, Ding Er, and Li Gui into custody at the governnt office!
This case will be continued on another day.
Post a notice for Su Qingyue as a suspect on the run and issue a warrant for her arrest!”
“Adult, do I have to be detained too?” Ding Er was very resentful, “I have witnesses to prove that the injury on my arm wasn’t caused by Zhu Daqi, and besides, I have no grudge against Zhu Daqi, so how could I possibly kill him?”
“How could you not?” Zhu Nengwen stepped forward from the crowd into the yard, “Master, I, Zhu Nengwen, am the deceased Zhu Daqi’s younger brother, and I have a matter to report.”
“Speak.”
“I heard from my older brother Zhu Daqi that Ding Er had borrowed ten taels of silver from him, claiming that Ding Er was willing to pay high interest, and we have his IOU at ho.
It’s not impossible that Ding Er killed to default on his debt!” Zhu Nengwen glared at Ding Er with hate and anger.
Ding Er collapsed to the ground, pale-faced, “You…
you’re talking nonsense.
I…
I definitely didn’t kill anyone!”
His pale face made him seem guilty.
To extricate himself, Li Gui began to speak, “You yourself confessed in court last ti that Su Qingyue gave you two taels of silver as hush money, and you said that after seeing Su Qingyue leave, maybe you didn’t want to repay the money and, seeing Zhu Daqi fall from the cliff, you killed him and tried to pin it on Su Qingyue!”
“Master, I really didn’t kill anyone!” Ding Er kept kowtowing, “I really didn’t do it…”
Zhu Nengwen watched them turn on each other with a sinister smile on his lips, but since he was bowing his head, it appeared respectful, and no one saw his smile.
“It’s not easy for to make a judgnt at the mont,” Zheng Dejun waved his hand, “take the n away first.” The officials were just about to take the n away.
“Wait!” Su Qingyue called out and walked through the crowd, entering Hua Lizheng’s yard.
