The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy
Chapter 88: Father Lu's Marriage Fraud
"Can I see that token?"
After saving the man, Qin Miaoxi's attention was completely attracted by the judge's order, and she ignored even Lu Qingchen's nonsense.
"of course."
However, the token was stained with a lot of mud from the ditch, and I didn’t know if it was poisonous. I didn’t know how to give the token to her for a moment.
"Put it on the ground!"
Qin Miaoxi put on fish intestine gloves, touched away the stains on the token, revealing the clear word "death" underneath.
"We've compared it, and it's indeed the token of the Ghost-Faced Judge."
"No, it's not." Qin Miaoxi said very confidently: "This token looks the same, but there are slight differences."
"First, the wood. This piece of wood is made of ordinary nanmu, while the real Judge's Order is made of the much harder ironwood. Secondly, the word 'death' on the token. Although the carver imitated it very realistically, he overlooked the inner texture of the word 'death', which has dark lines. As far as I know, ordinary carvers don't have such skills, which is why the Judge's Order cannot be forged."
Lu Qingchen's eyes sparkled, and the yamen runners were amazed and asked, "How do you know so much about the judge's order?"
Qin Miaoxi smiled awkwardly, "Knowing that your Ministry of Justice is tracking down the Ghost-Faced Judge, I thought I might be able to help, so I collected some information about him myself."
"That's amazing! We didn't know what you said. You are indeed the most daring woman in Dali Temple."
Only then could they understand the true meaning of what those bastards from Dali Temple said.
"Mr. Qin, do you have any other opinions? Please share them."
Qin Miaoxi didn't hide anything and said bluntly, "This brand looks 80% like the real thing. The person who can make a fake one must have seen the real Judge's Order."
Everyone immediately grew cautious. She pondered, "One possibility is the detective who's hunting down the Ghost-Faced Judge, and the other is the person who was issued the Judge's Order. He might have forged the Order to help the Ghost-Faced Judge divert attention, but I think the most likely scenario is that he's using it for ulterior motives."
"You're right, but if the token is fake, then the news of the Ghost-Faced Judge appearing here might also be fake. What was his intention in leading us here?"
Qin Miaoxi shook her head and said, "I don't know about that, but as long as we keep investigating, the truth will eventually come out."
"Thank you, Coroner Qin! However, we still need to continue our investigation in the vicinity. We can't rule out the possibility that the Ghost-Faced Judge has also thought of this and is deliberately using a fake token to mislead us and conceal his true whereabouts."
Watching them leave, Lu Qingchen curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. He won't turn back until he hits the wall. You deserve not to catch the Ghost-Faced Judge."
"Shut up! You talk too much."
Lu Qingchen shut up obediently and said with a smile: "Woman, how does it feel to be protected and favored by this marquis? Marrying this marquis is definitely the right choice for you."
Qin Miaoxi could hardly maintain the smile on her face. At this moment, her desire to kill was stronger than ever. This guy always made some strong statements at inappropriate times, making her want to slap him.
Of course, she did so, her body responding faster than her brain.
Lu Qingchen covered his face, feeling wronged but unable to speak. "As the saying goes: spanking is love, scolding is love, and not spanking or scolding is harm. Why don't you spank me a few more times?"
Qin Miaoxi: "..."
The air fell into silence for a long time. No normal person could face this man's bizarre train of thought.
Qin Miaoxi ignored him, but when he saw that dead man staring at him, Lu Qingchen immediately became unhappy, "What are you looking at? Be careful or I'll beat you up."
Shan Yu said seriously, "You're very interesting. You have a relaxed feeling that life is good, and death is also okay."
Lu Qingchen was so angry that he fell backwards, rolling his eyes and saying, "Pah! Pah! Pah! Who is going to die? Who are you talking about so sarcastically?"
He said that this guy had bad intentions. Could it be that he wanted to curse him to death and then seduce Xiao Xixi?
"Really? I think what I said was pretty good."
He didn't understand why Lu Qingchen's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he looked at Qin Miaoxi specifically and asked, "What do you think?"
Qin Miaoxi was about to nod when Lu Qingchen pulled her back. "What do you think? I think that your words make people feel uncomfortable, and you have bad intentions."
Shan Yu scratched his head in confusion, "Is that so? I thought you liked such straightforwardness! Otherwise, can you understand?"
Lu Qingchen: "..."
He deeply suspected that this big fool did it on purpose, otherwise why would his eyes always carry a hint of seduction, staring straight at Qin Miaoxi without her noticing.
Don't stop him, he wants to beat this bastard to death.
In fact, he really wronged someone this time. Qin Miaoxi was dazed because she heard Shan Yu's voice again.
How can I investigate if they haven't left yet? It doesn't necessarily mean they're nearby; every village has its suspects.
"Woman, what are you looking at?"
Qin Miaoxi said perfunctorily: "Just take a look."
Lu Qingchen suddenly felt a sense of crisis and irritably drove Shan Yu away, "Hurry back to your post station. This Marquis has no time to entertain you."
"How can you, a marquis, be more fickle than a woman? It's really indecent."
Lu Qingchen glared at him angrily, "What did you say..."
Just as he was about to fight the other party for three hundred rounds, he saw Qin Miaoxi pulling him away, avoiding him and whispering: "Don't compete with him, he can... definitely not be an ordinary person."
Shan Yu nodded in agreement seriously. He was the first such... crazy person he had seen since he came to Longyuan Country.
"What are you doing? Get out of here, get out of here. Why are you so close to someone else's wife?"
Qin Miaoxi grabbed him and said, "Alright, since Prince Shan Yu wants to stay and appreciate the customs and people of Longyuan Kingdom, let's go back first!"
In one word, Lu Qingchen felt relieved.
"Go, go, go! Get out of this damn place quickly."
Shan Yu watched them leave in confusion, then turned and walked towards the village ahead.
-------------------------------------
"Princess, Master Lu requests an audience."
Lu Shiya, who was choosing a hairpin in the jewelry store of Yunyin Pavilion, put down the gold hairpin in her hand and signaled the maid to bring the person up.
"Boss, prepare a private room for me."
After Lu Yuande rushed up, Lu Shiya asked directly, "Master Lu, how is the matter going?"
"Qing Chen agreed to get married."
Lu Shiya paused, a smile appeared on her face, and she asked in surprise, "Are you serious?"
Lu Yuande said calmly, "Really, this is what Qingchen promised herself."
Lu Shiya frowned and asked suspiciously, "Then why didn't he agree before? And what about that woman?"
A trace of panic flashed across Lu Yuande's eyes, but he calmed down in an instant, smiling and saying, "It's all because of that woman pestering him. He actually likes you, my princess, but you also know that he has been a playboy since he was a child and has accomplished nothing. Now he is on duty at the Dali Temple, so he is worthy of you."
"really?"
Lu Shiya smiled shyly, but in her heart she easily believed his words. Yan Wanwan's status was not a good match for Lu Qingchen. To put it more bluntly, her status was unlucky. Even ordinary families would have to think twice before marrying her, let alone the Marquis of Xuanping.
"It's just..." Lu Yuande glanced at her secretly, hesitating and wanting to say something.
"Uncle Lu, just tell me what's going on!" Knowing Lu Qingchen's intentions, Lu Shiya immediately changed her tone.
Lu Yuande couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, "Qing Chen donated all the family property to the emperor some time ago, so even if she is interested in you, she dare not show it. It's really that the Marquis's Mansion is so poor now that it can't even afford a betrothal gift."
Lu Shiya frowned and said, "But I saw the young marquis's guards shopping on the street a few days ago."
Lu Yuande cursed inwardly, but smiled bitterly. "Princess, you know Qingchen has been accustomed to spending lavishly outside these years. How can he bear it if he suddenly runs out of money? I'm afraid he doesn't know that the Marquis' Mansion is already struggling to make ends meet."
As he said this, he couldn't help but shed two sad tears, just like an old father who was worried about his son.
Lu Shiya waved her hand, "It's just silver! This princess has it. Tell Lu Qingchen to come and propose marriage! This princess will pay for the betrothal gifts and the gold and silver."
The maid beside her immediately handed him several silver notes worth tens of thousands of taels. "Take these and buy the betrothal gifts. Later, have Lu Qingchen come to me. I'll give him three hundred thousand taels, which is enough for our marriage."
"What about the title of the Marquisate?"
“Nature will make your wishes come true.”
Lu Yuande danced with joy with excitement. With these words, he felt relieved. He took the silver and thanked her repeatedly, "Princess, don't worry. I will tell you your feelings for Qingchen."
Lu Shiya nodded in satisfaction. After he left, the maid beside him asked in confusion, "Princess, this Mr. Lu... aren't you afraid that he is deceiving you?"
Lu Shiya said nonchalantly, "Do you think it's so easy to take my money?"
A cold look flashed across her eyes. "He'd better persuade Lu Qingchen to marry me, otherwise this money will be the deposit to buy his life."
The maid shivered and dared not say anything. She lowered her head and helped her choose jewelry.
