The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 69: Going to Court Again

He felt his brain was not working properly and his head was heavy. But his will to survive was still strong. He had only one thought in his mind, which was not to be hit by the kitchen knife.

The two ran, one chasing the other, through street after street. Passers-by stopped and looked back, wondering: What's going on?

Those who were curious followed them. Then, a very spectacular team followed behind the two men.

Finally, the patrolling yamen stopped the two men. Taoist Qingyun was exhausted and lay on the ground in a very ungraceful manner, gasping for breath with his mouth wide open.

To be honest, Jian Yue was also exhausted. If it weren't for the fact that Taoist Qingyun had been drugged and his mind was not clear, and he couldn't run fast, she would not be able to catch up with him.

Jian Yue held her waist and panted, her throat was so sore that she couldn't speak for a long time. She stuffed a pill to replenish her energy into her mouth.

Jian Yue had been to the county government office twice, and coupled with the incident that happened when she became an apprentice at Taihe Tower, she had become a local celebrity without her knowing.

The patrolling yamen officer saw her holding a spatula in her left hand and a kitchen knife in her right hand, and couldn't help but twitch his lips: What's this act? Are all the disciples of the miracle doctor so fierce?

A yamen runner asked: "Miss Jian, what happened to you?"

"Brother Yamen Runner," Taoist Qingyun was the first to complain, "I, I am Qingyun Zhenren from Kun Daoguan, and I was invited by the Jian family to exorcise evil spirits. She, she is possessed by the ghost of a drowned person..."

Snapped!

Taoist Qingyun was hit hard on the face by a spatula. His unfinished words were slapped back.

Jian Yue said loudly: "Brother Yacha, this man is a charlatan. He said that I was possessed by a vengeful ghost and wanted to exorcise the evil spirit for me, but he wanted to control me with incense laced with drugs. He dared to do this in broad daylight, brother Yacha, maybe there is a group of liars behind him."

Taoist Qingyun: "...I don't have it. I am not. I am the real master of Kun Daoguan. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out."

Jian Yue: "Brother Yachao, we should investigate it thoroughly."

Taoist Priest Qingyun: ...

A yamen runner said, "Get up and follow us to the yamen." Then he asked Jian Yue, "Where is the incense?"

"In the Jane's yard."

So, the patrolling yamen runners tied up Taoist Qingyun, and sent two more runners to the Jian family to capture the Taoist boy and collect evidence.

Jian Yue followed him to the county government office.

Magistrate He looked at Jian Yue, who had been in the palace for the third time, and confirmed once again that she was a disaster-inducing physique. However, this little girl was no longer just a peasant girl. With the support of a divine doctor, even he did not dare to underestimate her.

After learning the situation, Magistrate He sent a few runners to summon the Jian family and also sent someone to invite Doctor Qi.

Doctor Qi is a very authoritative person in this area. No one would question the results of his appraisal.

County Magistrate He was also speechless about the Jian family.

Every time he entered the government office, he was suspected of targeting or abusing his own daughter. This time, the preliminary assessment was: probably not his biological daughter.

The Jian family and the Taoist boy Nanxing arrived quickly. You Meng and the others rented a carriage on the roadside and came in a carriage. Otherwise, given the weakness of the Jian family, it would take more than an hour to walk.

The yamen runners carried the evidence to the court, including incense sticks and incense burners.

Doctor Qi arrived shortly afterwards, wiped his sweat off and started to work.

He was very dissatisfied with the Jian family. A family from the countryside, always worrying about this or that. It's fine if you have something to worry about, but you also bother me, an old man. It's only been quiet for a few days! It started again, really... I don't know how to judge this weird family.

Doctor Qi quickly found a drug that could cause people to lose their minds in the two incense sticks. If someone took this drug, they could easily be controlled and manipulated.

County Magistrate He was furious.

Doing this right under his nose, is it an attempt to challenge his authority as the county magistrate, or is it an attempt to disrespect him as the county magistrate?

"Beat him! Beat him with twenty sticks first, then interrogate him." Magistrate He gave the order, and two yamen runners immediately dragged Taoist Qingyun away.

Taoist Qingyun was terrified: "Sir, sir, I am the real master of Kun Daoguan, you can't torture me."

Taoist Qingyun has been doing well in this line of work ever since he started, and he has never fallen into trouble. He never dreamed that he would fall into the hands of a little girl.

Taoist priest Qingyun was dragged out and beaten with a stick, while Magistrate He interrogated Jian Dacheng and his wife, questioning them separately and then comparing their confessions.

After reading the two people's confessions, Magistrate He was furious: "Where in the world are there parents like you? Your daughter has been tortured since she was a child, and has been beaten, scolded and treated harshly. One day she refused to admit it, and you said she was possessed by a demon. Is it normal for her to accept her fate and be tortured to death by you?"

"It's not this big..."

Snapped!

Magistrate He slammed the gavel, scaring Jian Dacheng back: "Tell me the truth, is Jian Yue your biological daughter?"

Jian Dacheng and his wife felt a pang in their hearts at the same time, and even their breathing became difficult.

Jian Yue couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

This is the effect she wants.

It was more than a decade ago, so it was difficult to find evidence and witnesses. Even if she ran to the mansion master and said she was his daughter, he would not believe her. She might even be accused of impersonating someone who wanted to cling to the rich and powerful.

She made such a scene today, which seemed vulgar and embarrassing. But it brought the Jian family to the public again. Everyone in Yanling Mansion knew about the Jian family, and knew that they treated their daughter harshly and murdered her. Over and over again, without her having to prove herself, bystanders would doubt her relationship with the Jian family. Then she would use a big move, haha! She didn't believe that the Jian family would not collapse. She didn't believe that Yan Xinning would not panic.

Jian Huaian lowered his head. He was not shocked at all because he already knew the truth.

Only Jian Xiaohe showed a surprised expression, and even subconsciously looked at her parents with a puzzled look.

Jian Dacheng reacted quickly and said without looking away: "You are joking, my Lord. How can Zhaodi not be our daughter?" He then went on to tell Jian Yue's date of birth, birthplace, and the people and midwife who were present at the birth. He told her in great detail, leaving nothing out.

Jian Yue sneered in her heart.

He was telling the truth, except that he was talking about the time when Yan Xinning was born.

What Jian Dacheng said could be found out as long as someone was sent to investigate. So County Magistrate He basically believed that he was telling the truth. He glanced at Jian Yue unintentionally and found that she had a mocking and contemptuous look on her face. It was as if she knew something.

After the clerk finished recording, Taoist Qingyun was dragged up.

Taoist Qingyun's back was covered in blood and he was groaning in pain, and was a little unconscious.

He Zhixian slammed the gavel and said, "How dare you, Qingyun, tell the truth."

Taoist Qingyun was startled by the sudden noise and twitched violently. He couldn't help but say: "I, I said, yes, it was the Jian family who sent Mrs. Meng to Kun Dao Pavilion to find me, asking me to accuse their daughter of being possessed by a demon, so that they could take this opportunity to lock her up."

County Magistrate He was so angry...
