Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

Li Tianliu looked at her graceful figure, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said teasingly: "No wonder she is so arrogant, it turns out she has a trick up her sleeve."

Chan Yi ignored him and took Qiu Di from Chen Shao, carefully carrying her to the carriage. She lifted the clothes that Fu Jiu had put on her and saw the bloodstains on her body. Her pretty face suddenly darkened. After giving a cold look to the people in the yard, she swiftly took out a bluish-white porcelain bottle from her cloth bag, poured a white pill into it and stuffed it into Qiu Di's mouth, pinching the corner of her mouth and forcing her to swallow it.

Afterwards, Chan Yi took off the silver hairpin from her hair, pulled out a few silver needles, and carefully inserted them into the acupuncture points all over her body.

After finishing everything, Chan Yi told Fu Jiu, "Go get a basin of clean water."

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Li's wife quickly got up, filled a basin with water, and brought it to the carriage in a flattering manner. Seeing Chan Yi wiping the blood off Qiu Di with a clean handkerchief, she quickly changed her expression and stopped him, "Young lady, don't do it! This little whore has seduced countless wild men, so don't get your hands dirty!"

When Yu heard this, she rushed over regardless of the guards' attempts to stop her, grabbed Qiudi's arm and yelled, "You shameless little whore, you dare to play dead in front of the noble, I will beat you to death!"

"Stop it!" Chan Yi pushed Yu away and shouted angrily, "What are you doing!"

Yu staggered after being pushed and got up from the ground, but she still refused to give in: "Why don't you listen to advice, you little whore..."

"Fu Jiu," Chen Shao was not someone who would get angry easily, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her chest, "Fight back at them the same way they beat this kid just now, not a single one left behind!"

Fu Jiu answered loudly.

Li Tianliu, who was standing by, looked at her frosty face and quietly winked at the Yulin Guards. The Yulin Guards quickly stepped forward and pinned everyone, including Li Zhengming, to the ground, except for Lai Di and a few other children.

Fu Jiu used her toes to pick up the bamboo stick that Li Er used to beat people, and beat everyone from Li Zhengming to Li Er's wife with ten sticks. The screams of several people like slaughtering pigs attracted many villagers who came back from the fields after hearing the news.

Chen Shao noticed that the faces of these villagers showed gloating and happiness, but no pity, which showed how unpopular this family was in the village. Seeing that there was no repentance on the faces of this family, his face darkened and he scolded them: "Didn't you eat? Keep beating!"

Fu Jiu didn't dare to hold back any longer, and used a little more strength to start the fight again.

"What kind of adults are you? This little whore killed Ba Wa, and you didn't beat her to avenge Ba Wa, but you beat us instead. Oh, God, is there any justice in this world..."

"This little whore seduced men and killed Ba Wa. She is more vicious than snakes and scorpions. My lord, please don't be fooled by her. Lai Di, Zhao Di, are you all dead? Hurry up and let my lord take a look at you... My lord, please choose them. They are all innocent girls. It is their good fortune that my lord chooses them to be slaves and maids."

"Why are you hitting us? That bitch killed Ba Wa, she should pay with her life! We are her parents, even if we beat her to death it is only natural!"

Seeing that they couldn't stop cursing and slandering even after being beaten, Chan Yi's eyes turned red with anger. She rushed out of the carriage and argued loudly: "Stop talking nonsense. She is obviously still a virgin. How can you seduce a wild man? As her elders, you are still human for tarnishing her innocence like this!"

She was an abandoned baby. Although Huiyin, Chen Shao and others treated her very well, she still had hatred in her heart. She hated her parents who gave birth to her. They didn't want to raise her. The world was difficult and many people were hungry. She could understand why they didn't have enough food and abandoned her. But they threw her in the deserted mountains and forests, clearly wanting to kill her. She really couldn't understand and couldn't understand such an approach!

She has always kept this hatred well hidden.

But when he saw Qiudi's miserable condition, all that deep-seated hatred erupted like a volcano in an instant.

Chen Shao's anger was instantly extinguished when he saw her tearful gaze. He sighed silently, stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, then said to Fu Jiu, "If they continue to talk nonsense, you will be punished too!"

Fu Jiu didn't dare to hold back any more.

Yu and the others were finally in so much pain that they could no longer curse.

The screams of pain and begging for mercy gradually became hoarse, and the blood finally seeped through the clothes. Chen Shao stopped Fu Jiu, walked slowly to stand in front of them, and asked condescendingly: "How did Li Ba Wa disappear?"

Yu and Li's first wife were both frightened by the beating and took two steps back, not daring to say anything more. Li's second wife was still unwilling to accept it: "Of course it was that little bitch..."

Fu Jiu hit her with a bamboo stick.

Li Er's wife screamed in pain and rolled over twice. Seeing no one came forward to help her, she finally realized that Chen Shao was not the person they used to be able to easily control by just throwing a tantrum. She finally felt afraid. Seeing Fu Jiu raise the bamboo stick again, she quickly begged for mercy, "Stop hitting me, I was wrong..."

Chen Shao walked up to her and asked again in a cold voice: "How did Li Ba Wa disappear?"

Li Er's wife cried and said, "I don't know. That little bastard... Qiudi said he ran away on his own. We searched the whole village but couldn't find him. Qiudi must have been jealous of her, so he secretly beat him to death and hid him when no one was home. He also threw him to the back mountain when no one was around."

Chen Shao didn't give her any chance to breathe, and immediately asked, "Which back mountain?"

Li Er's wife instinctively answered, "It's Shunli Mountain behind the village."

"Qiudi is only seven years old," Chen Shao said, "You accused her of seducing men, but who did she seduce?"

Although Li Er's wife was afraid of being beaten, she still said as a matter of course: "If she didn't find a wild man, how could she have the strength to kill Ba Wa and throw him to the back mountain?"

"So," Chan Yi rushed forward and questioned, "You would rather accuse her of seducing men than admit that Li Ba Wa was killed because she was disobedient?"

"Who would harm him?" Li Er's wife screamed, "He is so young and doesn't understand anything. What can harming him do?"

Chan Yi laughed angrily, "He is younger? Qiu Di is only one year older than him!"

Li Er's wife retorted, "One day older is still older! She is the elder sister, she should take care of Ba Wa, if she fails to do so, she deserves to die!"

Chen Shao held Chan Yi's hand, not letting her continue. After looking at Li Er's wife and then at the others, she asked Chan Yi to carry Qiu Di out of the carriage and hand him over to Li Da's wife. After Li Da's wife took over, she said, "Take good care of her. If her injuries haven't healed in a few days, her fate today will be your fate. Also, every injury she has in the future, I will charge it to you. Even if she got the injury by accident, I will charge it to you."

Li's eldest daughter-in-law grumbled, "She is the second son's child. Why should she be given to me?"

Chen Shao sneered, "When you were cursing just now, why didn't you think she was the second child?"

Mrs. Li wanted to defend herself, but Chen Shao had already turned around and said to the yamen runners, "The responsibility of supervision is now on you. If you see them beating or scolding Qiudi again, you will beat them back ten times for me!"

The yamen runner looked at the people in the yard and said with full energy: "Yes!"

Chen Shao turned back and signaled Li Da and Li Er: "Where was Li Ba Wa's body found? Get up and lead the way!"
