The woman was the first to raise her disheveled face, soaked by the rain, and said, "The sinner Pan Yu greets the Marquis!"
Another person followed suit and said, "The criminal Pan Jue greets the Marquis' wife!"
Lin Yiwan's eyes were stern as she spoke, "So you two are the culprits. It was you two who colluded to cause Qian Banshan and his son to commit such a horrific disaster, right?"
Pan Yu nodded heavily. "Yes, it is the guilty woman. The guilty woman dare not say that she is innocent. The guilty woman has a deep hatred for Qian Banshan. In order to kill him, she came up with this bad plan. Now her wish is fulfilled. I will leave it to Madam Hou to deal with!"
At this time, Pan Jue spoke anxiously, "Madam Hou, this matter has nothing to do with my sister. I came up with the idea. I told Qian Banshan that it was the best feng shui site. As long as we bury Madam Qian there, we can benefit from the Lin family's fortune and make the entire Qian family prosperous. They actually believed it!"
Pan Yu quickly said, "No, my brother didn't do it alone. I was also involved. I was the one who brought him into the Qian Mansion. Otherwise, how could Qian Banshan and his son believe his words?"
Pan Jue said angrily, "Yu'er, are you going to argue with me? From the beginning to the end, you are innocent. Pan Village has been wiped out. You must live to make Pan Village prosperous again!"
Pan Yu shook her head vigorously: "How can I live without my brother? I want to die with you, so that we can reunite with our parents and uncles!"
Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "You two siblings really have a deep bond. Since you really want to atone for your sins with death, then take both of these pills!"
She took out two pills and handed them to Pan Yu!
Pan Yu stuffed all the food into her mouth without a second thought. She begged with tears streaming down her face, "Madam Hou, please let my brother go and leave a descendant for Panjia Village!"
Pan Jue was heartbroken. He reached out to touch her mouth, but Pan Yu dodged it in time.
She screamed, "Brother, I've been harmed by that bastard Qian Banshan. What's the point of living? I might as well die and put an end to it all!"
Seeing the two of them tangled up in a ball, Lin Yiwan quickly spoke up, "That's not poison at all. No matter who eats it, they won't die. Clean yourself up first, then come and answer me!"
The brother and sister cried with joy. They knelt on the ground and shouted, "Thank you, Madam Hou, thank you so much!"
Lin Yiwan waited for about a cup of tea before seeing Pan Yu and Pan Jue brought in.
Not to mention, both of them have outstanding looks.
No wonder that old guy Qian Banshan fell in love with it!
She frowned and asked, "What exactly happened in Panjia Village? With Qian Banshan's ability, it shouldn't be covered up. Does he have someone in the capital backing him up?"
The brother and sister looked at each other and said, "Madam, we have indeed suspected it, but we heard that the Qian family has an eldest son who was given away for adoption when he was young. We have never found out anything else!"
Pan Yu chimed in, "I asked Qian Banshan indirectly, but he refused to say anything. Even when he was drunk, he didn't say a word about it. He just told everyone in the mansion to call Qian Ying "Second Master!"
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but frown. "This matter is of no small importance. The hundreds of lives lost in Panjia Village cannot be let go like this. You must come back to Beijing with me. I still need your testimony!"
"Yes!" The two of them responded in unison.
Before Lin Yiwan returned to the capital, Ling'er had already sent someone to deliver the news that the news that she had buried Qian Banshan and his son alive in Nancheng had spread throughout the court, causing the imperial censors to force Prince Li and the new emperor to arrest her and bring her to justice.
Seeing Zhan Yan personally bringing people to pick her up, she couldn't help but feel very moved.
She whispered, "Ah Yan, I don't regret burying the Qian family father and son alive. They have committed countless evil deeds and are responsible for hundreds of lives. They deserve it!"
Zhan Yan nodded: "Well, I believe you!"
These four short words showed his unconditional support for her.
She knew that the Pan brothers and sisters were key witnesses, so she ordered people to protect them strictly.
She began to investigate the tragedy in Panjia Village. The disappearance of a village would definitely be recorded in the case file and would never be easily uncovered.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find any information about the Panjia Village tragedy.
She was stunned: "How could this happen?"
Lin Ran's face darkened as well. He murmured softly, "It seems the person behind this is quite powerful. He can easily wipe out an entire village!"
Lin Yiwan was silent for a moment before quickly speaking, "Uncle, since we can't find any information about Panjia Village, then let's check if there's a Qian family head among the powerful people in the capital."
Lin Ran shook his head: "No, I went to check this Mr. Qian the first day you brought back the news, but I checked the names and hometowns of all the officials in the court, and there is no one with the surname Qian!"
Lin Yiwan frowned immediately, as if everything had come to a dead end.
At this time, a guard hurried in and said, "Sir, there's news from the palace that an imperial censor died after trying to get the new emperor to punish the Marquis' wife!"
Lin Ran's expression suddenly changed. He asked anxiously, "Is that person dead?"
The guard shook his head: "No, he was saved by the old doctor, but he still refused to give up, which gave the new emperor a headache!"
Lin Yiwan gritted her teeth and said, "It seems that the person behind the scenes is fanning the flames. He wants to kill me at the cost of Qian Banshan and his son's lives!"
Lin Ran said, "The testimony of the Pan brothers and sisters alone is not enough. The fact that the tragedy was covered up back then is enough to prove that the person's status is extremely high!"
Lin Yiwan pondered: "Who is it?"
Lin Ran suddenly remembered something and said anxiously, "Wanwan, do you still remember what Qian Banshan and his son looked like? Why don't you ask your aunt to draw them, and then use their bone structure to look for someone among the important officials in the court?"
Lin Yiwan's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea.
She quickly found Sang Qiutang and asked her to draw portraits of Qian Banshan and his son.
Lin Ran added, "As for how to gather the important officials in the court, we'll have to ask the Emperor for help!"
The three of them entered the palace with the portrait and frankly told the new emperor Xiao Ling their plan.
At Xiao Ling's command, all officials above the fourth rank in the court came to the imperial study to discuss important matters.
Soon, all the officials arrived one after another.
Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan were in the open, while Sang Qiutang and Lin Ran were in the dark.
At this time, Xiao Ling already had the majesty of an emperor. Although he was thin, he was full of imposing aura.
His sharp eyes swept across the crowd as he spoke, "I've invited you here to address the censors' accusation that Lin Yiwan, the wife of Marquis Zhan Yi, had buried the Qian family father and son alive in South City. What are your thoughts? I want to hear them!"
Meng Xiang said nothing, clearly not wanting to stir up trouble.
