Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Qi Wei's calm and composed excuse was that she had hired someone to testify against him. Feng Qingluan thought to herself that he was worthy of being the Governor-General of Jiangnan. He could still think calmly in such a situation. His psychological quality was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Without waiting for Feng Qingluan to speak, Qi Wei continued:

"You asked me why I wanted to harm the Yun family. Yes, what reason do I have to target the Yun family?

I am not a local official in Fancheng, and I have no grudges against the Yun family. Why would I ask Zeng Yangzi to kill the Yun family's guests? What reason do I have to put my official career on the line to do this?"

When he said this, some people thought it made sense.

Qi Wei ruled over Jiangnan, and Fancheng was just one of the cities in Jiangnan. There was no need for him to use his official position to kill the people of Fancheng.

After all, if this matter were to be discovered, Qi Wei would definitely lose his official position.

When Xie Ying heard Qi Wei refused to admit it, her heart was in her throat.

She didn't know what her father had said to Qi Wei. In her opinion, Feng Qingluan would not expose Qi Wei without being sure.

The fact that she dared to do this in front of the people of the entire city showed that she had sufficient evidence to bring down Qi Wei.

Feng Qingluan still has something to show, and she is worried that Qi Wei will betray her when he is forced into a desperate situation.

Xie Ying was extremely nervous. If her involvement in Qi Wei's framing of Feng Qingluan were exposed and known by Huai Yin and the people, she would go crazy!

Noticing Xie Ying's uneasiness, Yun Huaiyin thought she was worried about Feng Qingluan, so he put his arm around her shoulders and patted her:

"Don't worry, Qingluan must be absolutely sure of what she is doing. She will be fine."

Xie Ying forced a smile with difficulty:

"Well, I believe her."

Feng Qingluan guessed that Qi Wei would not easily admit his crime, and said calmly:

"Master Qi is very eloquent. You know the reason why you want to kill me. One witness can give you room to argue. What about another witness?"

An Feng brought up the monk who was misleading people with his evil words.

The monk had lost his mysterious look. When he was brought in front of Feng Qingluan, he looked panicked, timid and afraid. He did not dare to look directly at Qi Wei standing opposite him.

Feng Qingluan asked: "Who told you to spread rumors that I brought evil spirits to Fancheng? Point it out."

When Feng Qingluan was taken away by Qi Wei in Yun Mansion, the monk retreated to the outside of the crowd and tried to slip away quietly.

But he didn't know that a pair of eyes had already been staring at him.

According to the plan, the monk appeared in Fancheng as a high monk, and left quietly after finding out that Tianxiang was spreading rumors about Feng Qingluan, to add to the sense of mystery.

However, his actions were seen through by Xie Jin, who captured him personally and handed him over to An Feng for interrogation.

This man was as timid as a mouse. Before An Feng did anything, he was just scared and soon confessed that it was Qi Wei who instructed him to do this.

Qi Wei thought that the monk should have disappeared after finishing his job, but he never expected to be caught by Feng Qingluan, and his inner panic continued to grow.

The monk raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Leng Zhe beside Qi Wei:

"It was him. He brought me here from the Anhe Temple in the next town last night and told me to say that the evil spirit surrounding Fancheng was brought by someone who had recently come to Fancheng. He was referring to you."

Feng Qingluan looked at Leng Zhe:

"Guard Leng is a subordinate of Lord Qi. If you are under the orders of Leng Zhe, doesn't that mean you are under the orders of Lord Qi?"

After two consecutive witnesses, Yu Zheng was completely convinced that everything was planned by Qi Wei, and he couldn't help but feel angry:

"Master Qi, those were lives lost! How can you be an official if you killed them just to target the Yun family? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

The people were also in an uproar, pointing at Qi Wei and Leng Zhe's indignant comments.

Qi Wei still refused to admit it:

"You want to convict me based on the words of these two people alone? Without evidence, everything is a waste of time!"

"You want evidence, huh? How do you know I don't have it?"

Xie Jin handed Feng Qingluan a prescription and a shopping list.

Feng Qingluan said: "The herbs on this list are what Zeng Yangzi needs to make the Soul-Seeking Water when he marks the target. Some of the herbs are not available in Fancheng and need to be bought in Zhoushan. Zeng Yangzi just escaped from Zhoushan, so Qi Wei sent someone to purchase the herbs.

This is the purchase list signed by Qi Wei in his own mansion. On it are the medicinal ingredients for the Soul-Seeking Water and his personal signature, proving that it was he who helped Zeng Yangzi and it was also he who instructed Zeng Yangzi.

Moreover, the plan to kill the people of Fancheng and frame me was made by Qi Wei as early as when he was in Minzhou, and this is also evidence."

The people were furious:

"He actually planned to come to Fancheng to harm people so early. Is this dog official still a human being?"

"Beat him to death with sticks, he doesn't deserve to live!"

"How dare you! You deserve the death penalty for insulting an official of the imperial court!"

Hearing the people's increasingly disrespectful words, Qi Wei ordered that he was sent by the emperor to get rid of Feng Qingluan. No matter what evidence Feng Qingluan had, he would refuse to admit it and said that he did not do these things, and the emperor would protect him.

Feng Qingluan didn't expect that Qi Wei still wouldn't admit it in the face of irrefutable evidence. She looked at Xie Jin and prepared to take action.

At this time, a clear male voice came from the crowd:

"You still don't plead guilty?"

Feng Qingluan looked at the person who was speaking, and Yu Haoyan walked out with a faint smile.

Yu Zheng asked in surprise: "Hao Yan, do you have any solution?"

Yu Haoyan said: "Father, just watch over it."

He walked towards Qi Wei and said, "Master Qi, here is a bowl of water. If you put your hand in it, it will prove that you have a clear conscience and that Zeng Yangzi and the monk's testimony is false.

If you don't let it go, you're guilty of a crime. If you want to prove your innocence, try it in front of all the people."

A servant came up behind Yu Haoyan, carrying a bowl of water.

The people didn't know why Yu Haoyan did this, but Qi Wei glared at Yu Haoyan with murderous intent.

"What did you put in the water?"

Yu Haoyan smiled lightly: "If I say I released something, will Lord Qi believe it? If I say I didn't release it, will Lord Qi believe it?"

As he said this, he glanced at the blood locusts on the ground.

"How do blood locusts lock onto their targets and kill them?"

Qi Wei's heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare put his hand into the clear water.

He was worried that the soul-seeking water was put into the water. Once the water was contaminated with the scent of the soul-seeking water, it would be eaten by the blood locusts trapped in the huge net!

Feng Qingluan saw what Yu Haoyan's intention was and said:

"Your Excellency didn't dare to put your hand in the water because you guessed that the water might contain the soul-seeking water that the blood locusts like, and you were worried that it would be like those dead people, with no remains left. Because you knew this, you didn't dare to put your hand in. This also proves that you, Your Excellency Qi, are very guilty."

This once again proved that Qi Wei was the murderer behind the scenes, and the people cursed him:

"This is a heartless thief. Everyone, catch him and kill him. Don't let him escape from Fancheng!"

"Kill him, kill him, bastard!"

The people shouted in unison, an unprecedented riot.

Qi Wei's eyes flashed with ferocity:

"I am the Governor of Jiangnan. Anyone who dares to touch me will be killed on the spot!"

Yu Zheng said: "Master Qi, I'm afraid this is not up to you."

Before he finished speaking, a group of armored soldiers rushed out of the crowd and surrounded all the soldiers led by Qi Wei!

Yu Zheng was looking at the tall man wearing a mask.

Before he came to Chaoziba, the man found him and asked him to mobilize the garrison troops outside the city, as there would be criminals in Chaoziba who would resist.

He saw the face under the mask, it was the current King Rong Xie Jin!

His Royal Highness Prince Rong prepared for the future and anticipated that Qi Wei would resist after being exposed, so he mobilized the troops stationed in the city to suppress and arrest him.

Yu Zheng was amazed in his heart. He thought that at that time His Royal Highness Prince Rong and Feng Qingluan knew that it was the murderer who was instigated by Qi Wei to kill people. They set up the plan in advance and exposed it in front of all the people.

Not only did they make it impossible for Qi Wei to turn things around, they also successfully eliminated the fear among the people that the female ghost was eating people. It has to be said that these two people were amazing.

Seeing the garrison troops appear and surround all his men, the situation suddenly changed. Qi Wei's eyes became fierce and he gave Leng Zhe a look. The moment he took action, his body flashed and rushed towards Xie Ying!
