After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

"You are all from Mr. Wang's family, and those who died in Wenzhu River were also from your Wang family. They died today, and tomorrow it may be you who will die.

If you know anything, why not tell me? Perhaps I can save your life."

The people saw that the people with the highest status were Mr. Wang and his family. Qu Yuanxun was just standing there, but his official power was enough to intimidate them.

"Sir, the affairs of the palace have nothing to do with us. As long as you don't kill us, I will tell you anything."

The servants were still afraid of death, so four or five of them knelt in front of Qu Yuanxun and told him everything they knew.

"Sir, everyone knows that Mr. Wang is a womanizer. The women around him were all bought from other places.

There were many people who were unwilling to follow him, but because of their slavery, they could not escape. Those who died committed suicide by jumping into the river because they were unwilling to suffer humiliation.

In fact, there are many such cases. These bought women have never left the gate of Wang's courtyard, and the official deliberately did not report it to the government for fear of trouble if the government came to investigate.

The bodies of these women were usually thrown into dry wells, and some were simply taken to mass graves and buried.

Over the past few years, there have been at least a dozen cases like this. The younger ones have been ordered by the Wang family not to tell anyone about these things.

Otherwise, we will die even more miserably than those girls. Sir, you must save us this time."

Upon hearing the news, Qu Yuanxun's mind was instantly stunned. He had been the county magistrate of Wenzhu County for quite some time.

But the Wang family did such a thing as to disregard human life right before his eyes, and he didn't hear a word about it.

"hateful!"

Qu Yuanxun slammed his palm on the coffee table, and all the teacups fell over.

"Even if they are slaves, they are still human lives. I will definitely not sit idly by and watch this matter."

The person behind Si Daiyun might be the father and son of the Wang family. Now that Si Daiyun cannot be interrogated, Qu Yuanxun starts by investigating the incident of the Wang family killing slaves at will.

He just didn't believe that he, a county magistrate, couldn't deal with the Wang family.

Although slaves are lowly, killing them at will will still be condemned by the world.

He asked several members of the Wang family where Mr. Wang had disposed of the bodies of the women, and he wanted to dig them all up.

And we have to find out the identities of all of them. Once the evidence is conclusive, we can order the arrest of Wang Fugui and his family.

Lin Lin still came to the Tea House in the morning. She had to check the account books and the ingredients every day. She looked as if the shock she had in the middle of the night yesterday had never happened.

As soon as I came in, I saw the mute woman standing at the door of the Tea House, fidgeting.

Seeing Lin Lin come to the Tea House in good health, she breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Lin Lin to check her up and down, her eyes full of concern.

"Mute, what's wrong with you? Do you have any troubles to ask me?"

The mute woman's tongue was cut off, and she could only make sounds like "ah eh..." with her throat. No one understood what she was saying?

After a long time, she became unwilling to talk anymore. She would just point when there was something wrong. Generally, she would not ask others for help with things she could do, unless it was something she could not do.

Hearing that Lin Lin still cared about her, tears welled up in the eyes of the mute woman. She lifted up Lin Lin's sleeves and saw that she was really safe and sound. Only then did she slowly let go of her worries.

He forced a smile, put Lin Lin's hands together, and kept holding her hands, as if to thank her.

"Mute, what's wrong with you? Do you want to get your wages in advance?"

The mute woman shook her head. Being recruited by a kind-hearted person like Lin Lin to do work was the best thing that had ever happened in her life.

Her world was full of storms and Lin Lin was like an angel, holding an umbrella for her.

Although she was just a cleaner in the Tea House, she had enough food to eat and her clothes were clean and new, which were things she had never had before.

If her daughter were still alive, she would definitely be living a good life now. It's a pity that she was killed by someone.

Before Lin Lin could find out what happened, the mute woman went to the backyard, but her concern was not fake.

Lin Ting also came to Chayulou in the morning. Because Shen Wanyi wanted to eat the pastries made by Lin Lin, she came to pack some for her.

Seeing Lin Lin staring at the account book and sometimes getting distracted, Lin Ting felt that something was wrong with her.

"Sister, did you not sleep well last night?"

Lin Lin thought Lin Ting had seen through something, so she quickly picked up the abacus beads and fiddled with them, trying to cover it up with a fake smile.

"No, I just stayed up a little late reading yesterday."

Something was wrong. Lin Ting felt something was wrong when he saw her like this.

"So are you hiding something from me?"

Lin Lin shook her head: "No!"

"Really?"

"real!"

Lin Ting’s only worry was that she would be entangled in the case of the county government. After all, Wu Yuyu was currently hers.

“Sister, Lord Qu is investigating a case, so it’s best for us not to get involved. We are just ordinary people, and we shouldn’t put ourselves in danger.

If you are unlucky, you might lose your life. You must remember what I said."

"Okay, I know! Go back and see Xiaobao."

What Lin Ting said was right, but Lin Lin helped Qu Yuanxun lure out the murderer last night. Although it was extremely dangerous, it was also a repayment of Qu Yuanxun's favor, and she would not owe him anything in the future.

But this matter has passed, and there is no need for her to tell Lin Ting and make her worry.

……

Based on the information provided by Wang's servants, Qu Yuanxun dug out seven female corpses with only bones left from the dry well.

He also checked all the families whose daughters were bought by the Wang family over the years. They were either too poor to have food to eat, or they sold their daughters for the sake of the men in their family.

There is also information on the sale of human teeth in several nearby counties and states, all of which have records of the Wang family buying and selling these maids, including the time of death of these bodies and the time they were bought back.

They all died shortly after arriving at the Wang family. This is a major suspicion. With this evidence, he can interrogate the father and son of the Wang family.

But what Qu Yuanxun never expected was that he thought he would be able to find out the truth of the matter immediately, but bad news came from the Wang family.

"Sir, something bad has happened to the Wang family? Has Old Master Wang died?"

what?

Qu Yuanxun rubbed his forehead with his right hand. The case was about to come to light, but at this moment, Old Master Wang died.

"Hey... he was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly die today?"

Qu Yuanxun asked weakly, and the subordinate who had returned from the palace replied with a fist salute.

"Sir, it's Old Master Wang who is still strong and healthy..."

The bailiff didn't finish his words, but Qu Yuanxun understood. Everyone said that Old Master Wang was lustful and stingy, but now he was sending himself away.

"Move these bodies back to the county government office, and I will personally go to the Wang family to take a look."
