Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

The next morning, Lu Fanghai went to look for Fan Chengyi. He heard from him that there was trace of the vicious woman Qin Dingxiang. Fan Zhao, who was currently acting as the county magistrate, was also very concerned.

As soon as he heard Lu Fanghai's plan, he immediately agreed and asked Fan Chengyi and Wu Xiaoliu to go with him. He also used the excuse that there was something going on in the government office to ask someone to summon Yu Sanzheng, who was detained in the county government office.

This is a better idea than the one we discussed last night.

Lu Fanghai and the other two went straight to Yu Sanzheng's house. When they arrived, two of them hid aside and asked Wu Xiaoliu to go up and knock on the door.

But after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no sound from inside, and several people couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The old neighbor next door opened the door to look, and because Lu Fanghai and the other man hid well, the neighbor only saw Wu Xiaoliu.

"Hey, stop taking pictures. He's not at home. He's at the government office."

Wu Xiaoliu turned to the man and said with a smile, "Old man, I am a colleague of Yu Bantou. The county magistrate has been waiting for him for a long time and he didn't show up. He was so anxious that he sent me to call him again."

The old man looked confused and said, "He just left. Did you miss him? You should catch up with him earlier instead of wasting time here."

Wu Xiaoliu quickly responded with a smile: "Oh, OK, I got it, I'll leave right away, sorry to bother you guys."

After the neighbors closed their doors and returned to the yard, Lu Fanghai and Fan Chengyi came out from the dark.

In this situation, if there is someone inside but she doesn't open the door, it probably means that she knows someone is looking for her.

Lu Fanghai couldn't help but feel annoyed. If he hadn't been distracted by preconceived ideas at the time, he wouldn't have told Yu Sanzheng the whole story of looking for Qin Dingxiang.

He nodded to Fan Chengyi and Wu Xiaoliu, pointed to the courtyard wall beside him, and then pointed to the gate of Yu Sanzheng's house.

What he meant was that he jumped up to open the door and asked them to wait outside.

Fan Chengyi hurriedly pulled him and gestured to go up himself.

Lu Fanghai pushed him away and climbed up the wall in no time.

Looking at how skillful he was, Fan Chengyi felt inferior to him.

If I go up by myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to be so agile.

Lu Fanghai opened the gate quietly, and there was a slight "creaking" sound.

A few people quietly moved to the main room. There was no sound inside and it didn't seem like there was anyone there.

Lu Fanghai made a gesture, stretched out his arm and gently pushed the door open, but he did not go in.

He reached out and took a piece of clothing that Fan Chengyi had casually picked up from the rope in the yard and threw it straight in.

"Ah!" A female voice screamed sharply and raised the sword to chop down, but unexpectedly the door fell suddenly and pressed on her.

The woman suddenly lost her composure, dropped the knife and fell inside, hitting her forehead on the corner of the eight-immortals table, which immediately became bruised and swollen.

"It's you, Qin Dingxiang!" Lu Fanghai's cold voice echoed in her ears. Qin Dingxiang looked up and saw that the figure with his back to the light became taller and taller.

"You...you are finally here." Qin Dingxiang lowered her head and looked at people out of the corner of her eyes, looking pitiful.

Lu Fanghai naturally didn't buy her trick. He walked up to Qin Dingxiang, twisted her arms, and tied her up with a hemp rope.

Qin Dingxiang felt pain and kept groaning, which was very annoying.

"Shut up, why are you yelling?" Fan Chengyi scolded in a low voice.

Qin Dingxiang said delicately, "It's so tight, too tight, it hurts me, please loosen it up, sir..."

"You bastard." Lu Fanghai cursed and kicked her: "Walk properly. If you continue to act like a demon, I'll knock you unconscious and throw you into the ditch."

Wu Xiaoliu laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Yu Sanzheng had such a witch hidden in his home. I'll keep the knife for her, so she won't lose her life while sleeping in the middle of the night."

I guess Qin Dingxiang had no choice but to give herself to him. If she had the chance, she would probably poison him and leave.

I don’t know what method Qin Dingxiang used to make Yu Sanzheng take her in even though he knew her identity.

The roots of troubles.

Thinking of this, Lu Fanghai couldn't help but shudder.

Even if such a vicious woman talks a lot and looks like she is a disaster to the country and the people, I would not even look at her.

Yu San was in the yamen when he saw Lu Fanghai and his men escorting Qin Dingxiang over. His eyes were so red with anger that they almost spit fire.

Lu Fanghai pretended not to see it and reported to Fan Zhao.

Fan Zhao immediately investigated the case. Since no one had reported it, he let Lu Fanghai be the victim and sued Qin Dingxiang for poisoning the three members of the Du family. He himself was the witness, and the physical evidence was already in the government office.

But no matter how Fan Zhao asked, Qin Dingxiang just cried and said she was wronged.

"My Lord, it was the eldest son of the Du family who tricked me into returning home and refused to marry me. I had a falling out with the Du family and fled in the night. I had no idea that their entire family had died."

"You are such a bold and unruly person, how dare you talk nonsense!" Fan Zhao slammed the gavel.

"Sir, I didn't do it. It's unfair!" Qin Dingxiang still shouted.

"Come here, bring the guys from Baohetang." Fan Zhao summoned the witness.

Qin Dingxiang was shocked. She didn't expect that someone would come to testify as soon as she was caught.

Originally, he thought that if he delayed it for a while, Yu Sanzheng would find a way to save him.

When the clerk came to the classroom, he could tell at a glance that she was the woman who went to the drugstore to buy arsenic that day.

"I remember clearly that day. The woman said that her family was infested with rats and that she needed to buy more arsenic. I didn't dare to give her more, so I only weighed a small amount."

As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Dingxiang and continued, "The woman was very unhappy at the time and glared at me before leaving."

"Sir, sir, this house is infested with rats. I did go to buy some rat poison." Qin Dingxiang shouted with a panicked look on her face.

Fan Zhao summoned the coroner from the government office, who confirmed that the Du family members had died of arsenic poisoning.

Qin Dingxiang denied everything and refused to admit it.

"Qin, you first said you had a falling out with the Du family, and then you said your home was infested with rats. If you didn't consider the Du family as your place to settle down, why would you bother to prepare rat poison for the rat infestation?"

"This statement is self-contradictory and it is difficult for you to justify it."

"Secondly, the night before, you and the Du family mother and son sold Madam Du Er to a flower boat for fifty taels of silver. However, after the Du family members died, the fifty taels of silver also disappeared."

"Do you dare to say that this has nothing to do with you?"

Qin Dingxiang was a bold and careful person. When she heard Fan Zhao say this, her eyes rolled and she cried and replied:

"Sir, the fifty taels of silver are kept by Du's eldest son's mother, Le. She sees me as a thorn in her side. How could she be willing to hand over so much money to me? Sir, I dare not admit it when you ask me like this."

"Since she sees you as a thorn in her side, and she thinks you have done a lot of dirty things with her, she wants to get rid of you as soon as possible, so she has a motive for committing the crime."

Qin Dingxiang was startled and quickly raised her head to deny: "How can you say that, sir? I regard her as my mother-in-law. Since ancient times, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have been incompatible, and few people have poisoned their entire family for this, right?"

"Well, you make sense." Fan Zhao stroked his beard and nodded. Qin Dingxiang was secretly happy, thinking that he was finally convinced by her.

"After you left the Du family, how did you meet Yu Sanzheng and live in Yu's family?" Fan Zhao changed the subject and asked Qin Dingxiang.

Qin Dingxiang glanced at Fan Zhao, then glanced at Yu Sanzheng who was being held aside by the bailiffs, and was speechless for a moment.
