Madam Yun fainted from the shock, and her family members quickly supported her.

Yun Lai was anxious to check on her condition, but Bao Ruida reminded him:

"Master Yun, you should come with us. The old lady fainted and there are others to take care of her. This murder case has alarmed the higher-ups, and some important people have come to Fancheng to handle this case. It would be bad to keep you waiting for too long."

Feng Qingluan checked on her grandmother and found that she was fine. She heard the bailiff say that the case had alarmed the higher-ups.

Who is coming?

Yun Lai was concerned about his mother's condition. Hearing that the situation had become so serious, he said to Yun Jing, the Second Master of Yun:

"Take good care of mother. I'm going to the government office."

Feng Qingluan stood up and said:

"Uncle, I'll go with you."

Yun Lai nodded and followed the people from the yamen.

Feng Qingluan followed.

Xie Ying and Yun Nian'an rushed over from the backyard after hearing the news. They saw the people from the government office taking Master Yun away. When they asked what had happened, their faces changed:

"Huai Yin, I'm going to the government office, you come with me!"

How could the Yun family be connected to the murder case?

Those people probably couldn't find the murderer and deliberately blamed it on Uncle Yun. If the people in the yamen dared to wrongly accuse Huai Yin's father, she would not let them off easily!

Yun Huaiyin and Xie Ying left the Yun Mansion.

At this time, Yun Yibai and Yun Jingsheng were in the shop outside and had no idea that something big had happened in the house.

When the people heard that the murder case was related to the Yun family, many of them bravely ran to the yamen to listen.

Master Yun was brought to the hall and looked at the person sitting in the hall. Sure enough, it was not the prefect Yu Zheng.

He had never seen this person before. He had a square face and there was murderous and domineering look between his brows.

Next to him stood a solemn guard with a sword. He was not as burly as other guards, but he exuded a coldness that made people feel cold in their hearts.

This was the first impression the guard gave Feng Qingluan when she walked into the yamen.

On the left side of the lower hall sat Yu Zheng, the governor of Fancheng.

"Are you the head of the Yun family?"

Uncle Yun knelt in the hall:

"My Lord, Cao Ming is the one."

Yu Zheng stood up and said:

"Sir Qi, this man is Yun Lai, the current head of the Yun family. Yun Lai, this is the Governor-General of Jiangnan, Sir Qi. The bizarre murder in Fancheng has had a great impact and has alarmed the Governor-General. He will personally investigate the matter thoroughly to restore peace to the people of Fancheng. Answer whatever is asked and do not hide anything."

In Fancheng, Prefect Yu and the Yun family are powerful and rich respectively.

The Yun family's industries almost monopolize all livelihood industries in Fancheng. Although they are incredibly wealthy, they do business honestly. Yu Zheng is very optimistic about the Yun family.

He was also a caring official who was committed to giving the people of Fancheng a better life, so the two families had a lot of interactions.

In addition, Yu Zheng’s fourth son Yu Zixuan and the Yun family’s youngest daughter Yun Nian’an grew up together, and they fell in love with each other, so without any surprises or obstacles, they got together.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Yu family will become relatives of the Yun family.

Yu Zheng’s reminder was to tell Yun Lai that this big shot was of great importance and he should not offend him!

Governor-General of Jiangnan, Feng Qingluan didn't know this person, but judging from the title, he should be the official in charge of the affairs of Jiangnan.

When Feng Qingluan looked at Lord Qi again, he was also looking at her.

From his cold eyes, Feng Qingluan had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Don't block the way, get out of the way!"

Xie Ying came to the door aggressively.

The bailiff stopped her:

"Who are you? The court is trying a case, no one is allowed to approach!"

Xie Ying angrily scolded: "How dare you talk to me like this? Don't you want to live?"

When the official in the government office heard the other party claiming to be a princess, his arrogance immediately dissipated a lot, and he looked at the two adults in the hall.

Xie Ying took the opportunity to rush in, Feng Qingluan followed behind her, and Yun Huaiyin naturally went in as well.

Xie Ying came to the hall, looking very arrogant and domineering:

"Who are you? Did I get the princess's consent to take the Yun family away?"

She put one hand on her waist and pointed at Qi Wei above her with the other.

Before Qi Wei could speak, Yu Zheng came over:

"My lady, this is in court, you cannot act recklessly!"

Xie Ying was so angry that she laughed:

"Didn't you hear what I said clearly? I am the current Princess Zhaoyang. You want to try the case, right? I want to sit in and see how you try the case. If you dare to frame someone and put the blame on Master Yun, I will not forgive you!"

As she said this she walked to the seat next to her and sat down.

When Yu Zheng heard the word "Zhaoyang", he remembered that his youngest son had told him that a princess had come to the Yun Mansion when he came back to pick up the old couple Yun.

She was Yun Huaiyin’s fiancée, but she specifically asked him not to publicize it, so he did not go to meet her.

At this moment, Princess Zhaoyang rushed directly into the court and immediately saluted:

"Your subordinate, Yu, is here to see Princess Zhaoyang."

Seeing this, Qi Wei walked down from the hall with a cold face:

"Your humble servant Qi Wei, the governor of Jiangnan, pays respect to Princess Zhaoyang."

Xie Ying said: "Qi Wei, right? If you want to ask Master Yun anything, ask it now, don't waste time!"

She didn't want Uncle Yun to kneel all the time, Huai Yin would definitely feel distressed.

Xie Ying's attitude was so overbearing that Feng Qingluan suddenly saw her former self in her.

One cannot help but laugh. Xie Ying became restrained after meeting Yun Huaiyin, but her true colors were revealed when she met outsiders.

But I have to admit that sometimes her temper does have some effect.

Xie Ying asked someone to bring a chair and sit down, and the trial of the bizarre murder case in Fancheng officially began!

Master Zhang Daoliang recounted the case and said:

"After investigating and questioning the families of the five victims, we found that they had purchased goods from Yun's shops or restaurants one or two days before their deaths. The victim of the first case bought spices from Hongfenlou the day before the incident.

The two victims in the second case had lunch at Yun’s Restaurant at noon and drank until they left in the evening; the old woman in the third case bought rice at Yun’s Rice Shop in the morning of her death and was killed in the afternoon; the woman in the last case also bought cloth from Yun’s silk shop.

According to eyewitnesses, it was a female ghost in a strange red wind that killed people. The bodies of the five victims were too badly damaged to find more clues. Moreover, these five people had no grudges against anyone before the incident. The only thing is that they are all related to the Yun family. "

When these words came out, the people present were shocked:

"If it's true as speculated, the murderer wants to kill customers who have bought Yun's products. I have bought them too. Will we be the next ones to be killed?"

"Does the murderer have a deep hatred for the Yun family? Why did he choose people who were related to it? Doesn't it mean that those who died died for the Yun family?"

"Yes, the Yun family is really a disaster. They killed so many people. It's so unfair!"

The people were talking about it at once, attributing the deaths to the Yun family and attacking the Yun family in various ways.

Listening to their indiscriminate slander, Xie Ying became furious and slammed her hand on the table:

"You all shut up, Princess!"
