The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Standing before the solemn gates of the government office, Lu Qingchen looked bewildered. "Wife, where do we go now?"

Qin Miaoxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Where else can we go? Of course, we should go to the Wang family first to see that judge's decree."

Lu Qingchen immediately clenched his fists and palms, "Yes, let's go and see if it's true or not."

He argued vehemently, “Those people in the Ministry of Justice are truly blind. They can even distinguish the fake token of our Marquis’s residence as genuine. With their limited knowledge, they must have made countless wrong judgments and mistakes on a daily basis.”

"..."

The constables who were eavesdropping behind the door were sweating profusely, and they lowered their heads, not daring to look at Shao Kun, who was emanating a chill beside them.

I wanted to hear what they would do next, but instead I overheard the couple talking behind the scenes about Minister Cricket, they were really audacious.

The two did not stay long and left quickly.

Shao Kun's face was cold. He had a premonition that this incident would become a stain on his life, and he would be dragged out and whipped repeatedly by the young marquis.

On the official road inside the city, two fine horses galloped away, heading towards the outside of the city.

As they approached the city gate, a large courtyard stood quietly. It was the Wang family's villa, but at that moment, a number of curious people had gathered outside the gate, pointing and whispering.

Qin Miaoxi scanned her surroundings warily. There were many passersby and vehicles around her. She wondered why, even the Ghost-Faced Judge was extremely easy to spot, so why had no one from the Wang family noticed her?

The figure before her slowly materialized, but she remained steadfast in her belief that the Ghost-Faced Judge would not speak without reason, and that the truth would only be revealed once she entered the Wang family.

The two explained their origins and identities to the wary gatekeeper, who immediately beamed with delight, smiling and welcoming them warmly into the courtyard.

"Sirs, you've finally arrived! My master has been waiting for you. Please follow me."

The head of the Wang family, who was in his forties, had a plump appearance, a bloated figure, and a large belly.

Upon seeing the visitor, he strode out to greet him with his round belly, his smile so wide it was almost slits, and his eyes were nearly invisible.

"Sir! Please save us! We don't know what we've done to offend the Ghost-Faced Judge and the Demon God. Money is just an external thing, it's not a big deal if we lose it, but you must save the lives of our whole family, please!"

Lu Qingchen was flustered by his anxious and excited appearance and stiffly squeezed out a few words of comfort.

"Don't worry! That's exactly why we came here. Why don't we take a look at the Judge's Decree first?"

He turned to the servant beside him and instructed, "Go to the bedroom and get the token. Be quick!"

"Yes."

The servant ran out quickly, and he hurriedly had tea served.

Qin Miaoxi stopped his eagerness, "Master Wang, please tell me about the scene when you discovered the Judge's Decree that day."

"Yes Yes."

Master Wang eagerly recalled the details of that day: he and his wife were resting in their room when a hurried report came from the servants, who said that an unknown token was hanging from the beam in the main hall.

Upon inspection, he discovered that it was actually the judge's decree of the Ghost-Faced Judge. Recalling the rumors about the Ghost-Faced Judge, he immediately became frightened and reported it to the authorities.

"Master Wang, how did you come to know the Judge's Decree?"

Qin Miaoxi stared at him scrutinizingly. Apart from the government and the victims' families, the judge's decree was not available on the market, so ordinary people should not have recognized it.

"Huh? Of course I don't know it. I asked a friend in the government, and the Ministry of Justice confirmed it was the Judge's Order."

Lu Qingchen muttered dismissively, "They might not even know them in the Ministry of Justice."

"Wha...what?"

At that moment, a servant rushed back, "Master! The token has been brought."

Master Wang immediately handed the token to the two men, saying, "This is the token that was discovered that day."

Qin Miaoxi and Lu Qingchen leaned closer together, holding their breath and observing carefully, not wanting to miss even the smallest details of the patterns.

However, after examining it closely, they discovered that the token was genuine.

The two exchanged a silent glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. The masked judge had really appeared.

Lu Qingchen murmured, "Impossible, the Ghost-Faced Judge couldn't possibly be..."

? ?

Qin Miaoxi looked at him in astonishment. Was this person's reaction too extreme? Suddenly, her mind flashed back to his conversation with Wen Zhu in the prison yesterday.

The Ghost-Faced Judge was mentioned last night, and he's here today, and now he's reacting like this... Could it be that he really is...?

"He couldn't have issued a decree without a reason. Honey, don't you think so?"

Qin Miaoxi paused for a moment, then thoughtfully replied, "Yes, that's right."

She gripped the judge's decree tightly in her hand and remained silent for a moment. "Since there's nothing wrong with the judge's decree, he will definitely visit in three days."

Hearing her say that, Master Wang was so anxious that he almost cried. "Sir, what should we do?"

"Yes, let's go back to the city now. There are soldiers guarding the city, and the Ghost-Faced Judge can't hurt us. The city is safe."

He paced back and forth, muttering to himself, and immediately ordered his servants to prepare a carriage. The Wang family was the first to return to the city.

Suddenly, he looked at the two men with a hopeful expression and said, "Sirs, since you've come to protect us, why don't you stay at our Wang family's residence? That way, we can make it easier to arrest people."

Before Qin Miaoxi could respond, Lu Qingchen preemptively agreed, "No problem."

Master Wang was overjoyed. "Excellent! Quickly, send someone to inform the manor to prepare two guest rooms that are closest to the hospital."

Qin Miaoxi smiled politely, but this scheme was really going to backfire on her.

Once outside the villa, Qin Miaoxi's mischievous eyes flashed with a sharp glint. "You agreed without hesitation."

Lu Qingchen nodded seriously, "Of course, since the token is real, then there must be something wrong with the Wang family. How can we know where the problem lies if we don't go inside?"

"You trust the Ghost-Faced Judge that much?"

"I trust my wife's judgment."

Qin Miaoxi: "...flattering and currying favor."

"I call this being realistic."

The Wang family traveled light, and it took them a full hour to walk from the outskirts of the city back to their home in the city.

Lu Qingchen couldn't help but wipe away the unwarranted cold sweat from his forehead. "Are all people this enthusiastic these days? Luckily we separated from them, otherwise we would have been subjected to a baptism of rotten vegetable leaves."

Along the way, onlookers lent a helping hand, throwing rotten vegetable leaves and eggs onto the Wang family's carriage.

From their conversation, we learned that the Ghost-Faced Judge is a benchmark for good and evil. Since he issued the Judge's Decree to the Wang family, the Wang family must have problems, and therefore they are enemies of the people.

Qin Miaoxi looked into the distance with concern, "But this is not a good thing for the Ghost-Faced Judge."

Lu Qingchen immediately understood. Given the Ghost-Faced Judge's influence among the people, no ruler of any generation would allow such a person to exist!
