Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her
Chapter 40: County Magistrate Yang
Huang Shiren saw that the yamen runners were digging up more and more corpses. He was not surprised at all, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he said with surprise, "Sir, I just found out today that there are so many corpses buried under the garden. Please investigate it clearly, otherwise I will not be able to sleep well."
When County Magistrate Yang saw this, he had nothing to understand, but he still admired Huang Shiren's psychological quality, as he did not seem to have any guilty conscience.
But he knew that he was closely related to Huang Shiren, so he couldn't just arrest him. He could only say, "Of course, I will never let the murderer go."
Seeing County Magistrate Yang talking calmly about tracking down the murderer, Huang Shiren swallowed his saliva and asked doubtfully, "How will the lord deal with the murderer?"
At this time, the coroner came over, bowed, and reported to the master: "There are a total of 56 bodies buried under the garden, and these bodies are all girls between the ages of 13 and 20. Some died a long time ago, some died in the past one or two years, and some died in the past few months."
Noticing that the coroner was hesitant to speak, County Magistrate Yang said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"And these women were tortured in their lifetime."
Hearing this, County Magistrate Yang turned around and kicked Huang Shiren, causing him and his wheelchair to fall to the ground. He angrily said, "Come here, take Huang Shiren to jail."
"Master Yang, you can't just imprison me without any reason."
Magistrate Yang saw the fifty-six corpses lying on the ground and asked in a cold voice, "You are being indiscriminate. Tell me honestly that these corpses of women have nothing to do with you."
"Oh! I was wrong. I have done so many unscrupulous things. How could you still have a conscience?"
"You should have been eaten by a dog long ago. You are such a heartless person, you are not worthy of being a human being."
After saying this, County Magistrate Yang ordered the bailiffs to take Huang Shiren away.
Just as the guards took action and pulled Huang Shiren up, they heard a cry of pain from where the body was placed: "Sister, how could you bear to abandon your sister?"
Xier, covered with bruises, was seen kneeling in front of a rotten corpse. She did not show any disgust at all. Instead, she held the bell in the corpse's hand and cried sadly.
It really makes those who hear it sad and those who listen to it cry.
Li Mengyue walked up to Xier, squatted down, patted Xier's shoulder, and comforted her softly: "If your sister knew, she wouldn't want you to be like this."
Maybe it was Li Mengyue's comfort that worked, but Xier suddenly wanted to talk. She choked up and said, "My sister and I were sold to a rich family as maids when we were young. Fortunately, we met a good master. As long as we obeyed the rules and worked hard, we could have enough food to eat without being beaten or scolded. We lived in fear every day."
"Later, the owner of the house got into trouble, and my sister and I were sold again. Since my sister and I were good-looking, there was no shortage of buyers."
"It's just that I didn't want to be separated from my sister, so I waited and waited until Huang Shiren bought her. We were very happy to work in the same mansion."
"But after just over two months, my sister disappeared for no apparent reason. I asked many people in the mansion, but they all said they didn't know where she had gone."
"I don't believe that such a good sister would run away or do anything without consulting me. Besides, servants like us who have signed a contract to sell ourselves have no personal freedom at all."
"So I firmly believed that my sister was still in the mansion, but I didn't know where she was imprisoned. So I tried my best to behave, and finally I was transferred to serve Huang Shiren."
"After my secret observation, I found that there were always women who disappeared inexplicably in the mansion. But I didn't dare to ask openly, so I had to wait for an opportunity."
"I originally thought I could learn about my sister's whereabouts from Huang Shiren, but I didn't expect that I would personally experience my sister's despair before her death."
Li Mengyue did not interrupt Xier, but listened patiently to Xier telling the story of her and her sister.
After hearing the miserable experiences of the two people, before Li Mengyue could say anything, the system started crying uncontrollably.
[Ouch... miserable, so miserable.]
Li Mengyue didn't expect that the system, who was once one of the top three in the world, was not only a foodie, but also a crybaby.
Unable to bear the system crying so sadly, Li Mengyue had a terrible headache and immediately cut off the connection with the system.
Xier had immense trust in Li Mengyue, who saved her. After she spoke out her thoughts, she felt less heavy in her heart.
Afterwards, Xier forced herself to kneel in front of Li Mengyue and thanked her sincerely: "Miss, thank you for saving me and helping me find my sister. Xier is willing to use her remaining life to bless you with a smooth, healthy and happy life."
Li Mengyue felt that Xier's tone and expression were not right, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
At this time, she didn't pay much attention to Xier because Butler Qian was escorted here by the yamen runners.
"Master Yang, this person is carrying a large bag and is sneaking around, trying to get out."
"I saw that this person was suspicious, so I didn't report it. I just took the initiative to bring him here."
Magistrate Yang looked at Butler Qian. From his clothes, he could tell that he had some status in the Huang Mansion.
"What's your name? Tell me your name."
Butler Qian had a good relationship with the court physician, and the court physician said that Huang Shiren's hands and feet could not be cured.
Huang Shiren was so angry that he had the court doctor severely beaten.
Since the palace physician would always treat people with headaches and colds with all his heart, many servants in the palace had benefited from the palace physician.
Therefore, when Huang Shiren ordered the court physician to be beaten, the servants who were responsible for carrying out the action did not dare to kill him because they remembered the kindness the court physician had shown them.
So although the injuries reported by the court doctor looked serious, they were actually just superficial injuries and would be fine after some rest.
When Butler Qian learned that the court physician had been beaten, he immediately went to visit him and learned from the physician that his master's hands and feet had been broken.
After returning from the palace doctor, he hurriedly packed up his things, hoping to sneak away during the chaos. After all, he was in charge of many of the things that the master had ordered, so he naturally knew that once the news was exposed, there would be no good ending.
Unfortunately, just as he reached the door, he saw two yamen runners standing outside the mansion, and then he was taken here.
Huang Shiren collapsed on the ground and saw the bag left by housekeeper Qian on the ground, revealing the gold, silver, jewelry and banknotes inside.
Huang Shiren was extremely angry after seeing himself being betrayed.
"Butler Qian, I believe I have never treated you unfairly. What do you mean by this?"
Butler Qian was brought over and saw the corpse lying on the ground, Magistrate Yang, and the yamen runners standing there.
He ignored his master's questions and had only one thought in his mind.
"It's over, it's over."
Inadvertently seeing Li Mengyue again, she immediately became excited: "Eighteenth Aunt, you are not in Wutong Courtyard, why are you here?"
