The inner voice was overheard, and the whole court was eating melons together

The movement on the bridge attracted a lot of people's attention.

It is okay to kidnap the bride on the Bride Kidnapping Festival, but if someone dies, that is another matter.

Kong Yangling didn't expect such a thing to happen. If someone really died, it would alarm the government, and then no one would be able to save him!

At this moment, he only hoped that his men could swim faster and rescue Deng Xiaoyan.

Deng Xiaoyan struggled slower and slower in the water, and gradually her figure could no longer be seen on the water surface.

Everyone exclaimed:

"The man sank into the water."

"Oh, you're not going to take me home because I don't want to, are you?"

"This kind of marriage robbery must be based on mutual consent, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble."

"That's it."

"Look at what this has caused..."

……

Kong Yangling ignored the man's comments and stood on the shore, shouting anxiously:

"Hurry up, hurry up, Deng Xiaoyan is sinking."

After hearing this, the men swam desperately towards the place where Deng Xiaoyan had just fallen into the water.

Finally, the two men found Deng Xiaoyan in the water, brought her out of the water, and then dragged Deng Xiaoyan towards the shore.

After the three of them got ashore, Kong Yangling rushed over immediately and saw Deng Xiaoyan lying there motionless, with all the disguise on her face gone.

He immediately ordered his men to turn Deng Xiaoyan over, face down, and pat her back, hoping to get her to spit out some water.

Then, he slapped Deng Xiaoyan's face several times, but Deng Xiaoyan did not react at all.

Just at this moment, a team of officials happened to pass by. When they saw this situation, they immediately sent someone to call a doctor.

When the doctor came and examined me, he shook his head:

"The person is no longer breathing."

After hearing this, Kong Yangling sat down on the ground. Although he was a little lustful, he had never done anything to kill anyone.

At the beginning, Zeng Munan repeatedly assured him that given Deng Xiaoyan's character, nothing would happen, so he decided to snatch her away.

Besides, many merchants would give women as gifts in order to establish relationships with officials.

Although his father was a fifth-rank official, their Kong family was also an official family and a group of people that many merchants wanted to get close to. He thought there was no problem and that was why he agreed to Zeng Munan's request.

He never expected that Deng Xiaoyan would have such a fierce temper. What should he do now?

Just when Kong Yangling was at a loss, the police came forward and escorted him towards the yamen.

Also taken away were Kong Yangling's men, the maid Qingyou, and the body of Deng Xiaoyan.

On the other hand, the government office has also notified the Deng family.

After Deng’s parents learned of their daughter’s death, they couldn’t believe what they heard. Especially since Deng’s mother had just seen her daughter, how could something have happened to her?

Deng's mother couldn't imagine what she heard. She immediately ran to her daughter's yard, but sure enough, she didn't see Deng Xiaoyan. She fainted.

Deng's father suppressed his grief and called a doctor. After seeing that Deng's mother had woken up and was fine, he told her to have a good rest before preparing to go to the yamen.

Mother Deng stopped him and said:

"Master, wait a minute, I'll go with you."

"Madam, you just woke up. Are you still recuperating at home? I'll go to the government office to check on you."

Mother Deng had already gotten out of bed and said:

"Husband, I must go see my daughter, and also find out which beast harmed our Xiaoyan?

We must not let that beast go.

Husband, just let me go!"

Seeing his wife's grief-stricken expression, Father Deng nodded in agreement.

After arriving at the yamen, the bailiffs took Deng's parents to the morgue.

Deng's mother looked at her daughter's lifeless face, and she hugged Deng Xiaoyan's body and burst into tears.

The couple had a son and a daughter. The son was out on business and had not returned yet, but now something like this has happened to their daughter.

How can they accept the fact that their loved ones have to die before them?

After Deng's mother finished crying, she turned to the yamen runner and asked:

"Sir, where is the person who killed my daughter now?"

"Is that person locked up now? The master said that he will open the court after you go over there in a while!"

"Okay, let's go right away."

Deng's father helped Deng's mother stand up. The two wiped away their tears and walked out together.

Not long after they left the morgue, they were blocked by a couple.

The visitor looked Deng's parents up and down. After a moment, the lady asked:

"Are you the Deng couple?"

Mother Deng nodded, she was so sad that she couldn't utter a word.

The lady continued:

"We are Kong Yangling's parents."

Father Deng asked:

"Who is Kong Yangling? We don't know him."

The yamen runner next to him explained:

"Kong Yangling is the young man who forced your daughter to jump into the river."

After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Deng raised their heads and stared at the two people in front of them.

The Kong couple were shocked by the coldness and hatred in the two men's eyes.

Mother Kong still said:

"Can we talk?"

Father Deng stared at the two people in front of him and said:

"There's nothing to hide. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Mother Kong looked at the two people in front of her with livid faces and said:

"We didn't expect something like this to happen. Now that it has happened, we would like to discuss with you how to resolve this matter?"

"Our daughter is gone, how are you going to solve this?

Can my daughter be brought back to life?"

"The dead cannot be resurrected. We can compensate you with some silver. Can you talk to the adults and reduce my son's guilt?"

Mother Deng glared at Mother Kong angrily and said:

"You feel bad for your son, but we also feel bad for our daughter. We are all parents. How dare you ask us to go and beg for mercy from the adults?"

After hearing this, Kong's mother's face changed. She was the wife of an official. How could a merchant's wife have the right to point at her nose and scold her?

"Don't be so shameless. The incident has already happened. We are already giving you enough face by coming here in person to discuss the solution to this matter. Don't be ungrateful!"

"You call this a negotiation? When did you ever discuss this with us?

This is clearly to inform us.

We don't agree, and you get angry and embarrassed!

I tell you, our family doesn’t need that little money, and I will make sure the person who harmed my daughter is buried with her.”

"you dare!"

"See if I dare!"

Kong's father had been silent until now, but now he spoke:

"You better think it through. Do you want the money or do you want to go against our Kong family?"

Father Deng refused to give in and said:

"Don't think about it, we will not compromise on this matter, we will definitely seek justice for our daughter.

Lord Kong is only a fifth-rank official. This is the capital, not a place where Lord Kong can do whatever he wants.

There are many people in the capital who hold higher official positions than Lord Kong.

If it doesn't work, I can still go and beat the drum to report the incident. Even if it costs me my life, I will seek justice for my daughter."
