The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

In a flash, several black shadows fell from the sky and Sheng Mingyuan was kicked several meters away in an instant.

Miss Wang also fell to the ground in a mess, covering her neck and coughing in pain. She was almost strangled to death by this man.

Soon, a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes appeared before her eyes. She looked up and saw Qin Miaoxi's face. She saluted hurriedly and said, "Thank you, Madam Hou, for saving me."

Qin Miaoxi saw the pinch marks on her neck in the moonlight. Sheng Mingyuan was indeed a scumbag who could be so cruel to his own woman.

But you're also right, he's a man who even abused his first wife, he's a heartless beast.

"Wife, we've caught the man." Lu Qingchen ran to Qin Miaoxi as if to seek credit, with Sheng Mingyuan, who was half-dead, at his feet.

Qin Miaoxi smiled back. She had discovered recently that if she didn't respond, this person would probably keep pestering her.

At this moment, Liang Hongkai and others also rushed in from the main gate. "How is it? Did you find out?"

"Well, the place where he was killed was a dry well. Sir, you can take people to investigate."

They had been hiding in the dark and heard everything Sheng Mingyuan said when he was too proud of himself.

"Okay, I'll go find someone to investigate."

Liang Hongkai and his men left in a mighty manner, and Fan Lihua also came to Sheng Mingyuan at this time.

"Do you need to wake him up?"

Fan Lihua nodded, her clenched fists revealing her uneasy heart.

After a silver needle was injected, Sheng Mingyuan woke up from his coma.

Tears welled up before she could speak, and Fan Lihua asked, "Why?"

When Sheng Mingyuan saw his tearful wife, a puzzled expression immediately appeared on his face. "Madam, who made you angry? Let me help you vent your anger."

His tone was too natural, which made Fan Lihua slightly dazed. If she had not heard Sheng Mingyuan's conspiracy with her own ears, she would not have recognized this man's true face.

She asked straight to the point, "Why did you slander me for killing that maid?"

Sheng Mingyuan suddenly fell silent, and soon his face turned disgusted. "You can't have children yourself, so do you want our Sheng family to be extinct?"

"But I can't get pregnant. Isn't it because you've been giving me infertility pills for years?"

"You're not pregnant with a bastard?" He reacted quickly and cast his gaze towards Qin Miaoxi. "Is this a setup by you?"

Qin Miaoxi remained silent.

"I never wanted your child."

Sheng Mingyuan said with disgust, "Your Fan family prides itself on being a family of scholars, yet you've never looked down upon me. You'd rather promote outsiders than your own son-in-law. If you hadn't seen that I'm currently a third-rank official, why would you have bowed to me?"

"No, that's not the case. My father has been helping you a lot in secret. Otherwise, how could you be promoted so quickly? You have a brighter future than the top three students of the same period."

Fan Lihua kept shaking her head. Her father once said that Sheng Mingyuan had a very high self-esteem. If he knew that it was the Fan family that was helping him behind the scenes, it would definitely cause discord between them. Therefore, he asked her to keep this matter secret for fear of hurting his self-esteem.

Sheng Mingyuan sneered, "I told you that your Fan family is shameless. I once personally begged him for help, but the next day, the position was taken by your father's protégé. And you still have the nerve to say you're helping me? You never imagined I could rise to this level, did you? Now you want to flatter me and claim credit, but it depends on whether I agree or not."

"You...so this is how you've always viewed our Fan family. Is that why you drugged me?"

"Yes! Isn't your Fan family noble? Then I will let them have a daughter who can't give birth to a son, so that they will always be inferior to others."

Sheng Mingyuan was full of malice and completely exposed his true nature to her. He was not as gentle and considerate as he should have been. In the dark night, he was like a monster with bared fangs and claws, wanting to destroy everything she had.

Fan Lihua felt the blood rushing back all over her body. She had never thought that the man beside her hated her so much. Not only was he cold-blooded and ruthless to her, he would whip her at the slightest displeasure. She had endured all of this, but why did she let the Fan family become the laughing stock of Jingzhao?

"Have you ever loved me?" The voice was very soft, but it still reached Sheng Mingyuan's ears.

"Love?" Sheng Mingyuan said coldly, "Ever since you looked down on me, I've only felt disgust towards you."

Fan Lihua stared at her indifferent husband, and thinking of the time when they first met, knew each other, and fell in love with each other, she truly felt Sheng Mingyuan's love.

It’s a pity that his love was so light…but it almost cost him his life!

Sometimes, love disappears in an instant, just like Fan Lihua.

"Since you hate me so much, let's get divorced. I won't stay in your Sheng family for a moment longer."

She has been compromising and bent over the years because of her children's affairs, but she has not lost the integrity of the Fan family. When she sees through a person, she will cut the Gordian knot.

"Haha! Divorce? You're dreaming. I will have to divorce you, you jealous woman." Sheng Mingyuan's eyes were wide open with anger. She was the dog he trained, how dare she bite back her master!

Fan Lihua burst into tears, "Since you don't love me, why don't you let me go?"

"Haha! I'm a third-rank official. You'll either be divorced or be a member of the Sheng family in life or a ghost of the Sheng family in death."

Fan Lihua looked at the sky helplessly. With the Fan family's background, she would definitely not be able to defeat him.

Could it be that she would never be able to escape the Sheng family in her lifetime? Could it be that she would never be able to escape this demon?

Qin Miaoxi slowly opened her mouth to remind him, "Master Sheng, you've killed someone. Do you think His Majesty would want such a person of bad character to be an Imperial Censor?"

At this time, Liang Hongkai strode over with the yamen runners. "We found the stuff. It's some copper and iron utensils, as well as some saltpeter and sulfur powder."

He placed the things in front of Sheng Mingyuan and asked, "Did you prepare these?"

"Yes! Some little interesting things, Lord Liang will not use them as evidence?"

"This is the murder weapon you used." Lu Qingchen kicked him on the back. He couldn't stand this kind of arrogance.

"Yes, I killed the maid, so what?" Sheng Mingyuan laughed indifferently. "It's just a maid who died. At most, I can compensate the Wang family with ten. It depends on whether they dare to take it."

In this era, maids were the private property of their masters, especially those who had signed death contracts. They could be bought and sold by their masters, and even beaten to death, and the government would not hold them accountable.

That's why he is so confident.

Just when he was feeling proud, Qin Miaoxi suddenly smiled at him.

"Master Sheng, I want to tell you a story."

When Sheng Mingyuan met her smile, his heart skipped a beat and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Ten years ago, a merchant's daughter married a local scholar. The scholar's family was impoverished, and it was the merchant's daughter who paid for his studies and imperial examinations. The scholar was very hardworking and passed the examinations within a few years. However, when he returned home to pay respects to his ancestors, he brutally murdered his wife and returned to Beijing to marry the daughter of a wealthy family."

As Qin Miaoxi's voice rose and fell, Sheng Mingyuan widened his eyes in disbelief.

[How did she know? No, it's impossible. Everyone who knew is dead. She just wanted to trick me.]

Sheng Mingyuan remained silent, looking puzzled.

"Master Sheng, do you think His Majesty would dare to employ such a heartless person?"

Sheng Mingyuan retorted, "Doctor Qin thinks I'm the scholar, right?"

"Is not it?"

"What evidence do you have?"

"The woman's body is buried next to the scholar's ancestral grave."

"Oh! If any corpse can be said to be evidence, then I think there will be too many wrongful convictions in the world."

Lu Qingchen couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward and kicked him, "How dare you talk to my wife like that!"

Sheng Mingyuan was kicked to the ground, but he still insisted: "Young Marquis, I am an official appointed by the court."

"You are a prisoner."

"Then we'll see."

Qin Miaoxi raised an eyebrow. "Master Sheng is very confident... Is it because he killed everyone who knew about it? But... I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed."

She pulled out a tattered marriage certificate from her bosom, "This thing was kept by the merchant's daughter."

After opening it, Sheng Mingyuan's name and date of birth were clearly written on it, with an official seal below.

Sheng Mingyuan just glanced at it casually. Fan Lihua quickly stepped forward and took the marriage certificate, her forehead looking as if she had been punched.

"Have you ever been married?"

【I am not even considered the original wife? 】

Qin Miaoxi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Fan, you should be thankful that you didn't die at her hands."

Fan Lihua was stunned and immediately understood what she meant.

Sheng Mingyuan's original wife was killed because she got in his way. Now he suspects that she is pregnant with someone else's bastard, and it is only a matter of time before he kills her.

Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, and she was so scared that she wet the collar of her clothes behind her.

"What does this mean?"

Sheng Mingyuan asked disdainfully, but Qin Miaoxi nodded in satisfaction, "Just acknowledge the marriage certificate, and I'm sure you'll also acknowledge your father-in-law!"
