As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Although Baozhu didn't know what kind of person Miss Lin was, the bride who cried on her wedding night felt pain from the bottom of her heart every time she cried.
How could it be possible...killing her husband on their wedding night.
"Mrs. Wang, I think you are too sad. It's better not to say anything like this before a conclusion has been made." Qi Junce said.
But Mrs. Wang's eyes were firm and she shook her head solemnly.
"No...that may be a coincidence." Mrs. Wang murmured.
"Coincidence?" Liu Hu's ears were like hounds, catching an unusual breath.
"What Mrs. Wang means is that you have evidence that the daughter of the Lin family did it?" Liu Hu asked doubtfully.
"Yes," Mrs. Wang turned to Liu Hu and said, "The Lin family made their fortune from the Western Regions a few years ago."
The Western Region, the source of poison. Baozhu also had some murmurs in his heart.
"The old woman is not afraid of the officials' jokes. The Lin family has gradually declined over the years. My family does not want to get married again."
Mrs. Wang said as if she was risking her life: "But my son kept his promise and married the daughter of the Lin family."
Regret appeared on Mrs. Wang's face, she raised her head and shed two lines of tears.
"But all the previous conflicts inevitably caused discord between the two families. This is... this is..." Before Mrs. Wang could finish her words, she started crying again, which was sad to hear.
Baozhu looked at Mrs. Wang who was in grief and couldn't help herself, and felt that it might be careless to conclude that the Lin family daughter was the murderer based on this incident.
He couldn't help but said: "Mrs. Wang expresses my condolences, but it is difficult to make a conclusion based on this matter. People cannot deal with people privately. You still have to release Miss Lin."
When Liu Touch saw this, he quickly said yes, yes, and then he winked, and several people who looked like official officials rushed to Lu's house to get the person.
Mrs. Wang was not given a chance to refuse. She seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally shut up.
Since then, a wedding banquet has turned into a funeral, and the bride has become a prisoner. Suddenly, rumors spread across Songjiang, and darkness enveloped the area.
After all, Lin Qi, the daughter of the Lin family, came from a wealthy family. She didn't get angry or make a fuss about Mrs. Wang's "unfounded" accusations, and went to jail quietly.
If it were an ordinary woman, she would have been trembling and crying in fear because of this, but she didn't even bend her spine.
The neither humble nor arrogant attitude made Liu Touch feel ashamed.
The interrogation lasted for three days. Because there was only suspicion, the Lin family specially came to watch and not torture him, but he was stunned and didn't ask a word.
Lin Qi always said that after entering the wedding room, Lu Zhiwen everything was as usual.
The two even chatted and laughed about what they had seen and heard today. After just a cup of tea, Lu Zhiwen died suddenly.
Lin Qi's crying sound attracted Shuangfeng, so someone discovered Lu Zhiwen's death.
Lynch's confession was asked thousands of times, but he still answered fluently. The sadness on her face and the trembling of her body made Liu Touch fall into deeper doubts.
Qi Junce was also at a loss. Lu Zhiwen's sudden death caused the originally clueless salt tax to begin to twist into a dead knot.
During the past few days of investigation, it was found that even the account books had been secretly tampered with. Qi Junce only glanced at them and knew that these were Yin and Yang account books.
In the past few days, Qi Junce and Liu Hu's faces had become more ugly than the other, and Baozhu was careful to hold his breath while walking.
One is the imminent salt tax, and the other is the death of a prominent local family. Both are overwhelming events.
Lin Qi was eventually released because there was no evidence to prove his guilt. Liu was more cautious and released the news to the Lin family in advance.
Only then did the Lu family who came after hearing the news block the way, but the two families who were supposed to be close relatives by marriage formed an intractable feud.
Just when the air pressure was low, an uninvited guest knocked on the door of Qi Junce's residence.
When the boy who called the door hurried over, Ma Dong was carefully grinding the angry Qi Junce.
The boy whispered a few words, and Ma Dong's expression changed and he stopped what he was doing.
"Master, Lin Qi came to say that he has something important to discuss." Ma Dong said softly.
Qi Junce raised his head in displeasure and said impatiently: "If it is for Lu Zhiwen's death, let her go to Liu Hu, why are she looking for me?"
"Well..." Ma Dong looked around with some vigilance and got a little closer to Qi Junce. "Miss Lin said she has what you need."
Qi Junce paused with the pen in his hand and raised his head with interest.
A moment later, Lin Qi, who was dressed in pure white and plain clothes and looked like a mourner, knelt down in front of the case.
Qi Junce's fingers clasped the chair, hitting Lin Qi's heart.
"I heard that Miss Lin wants to see me for something?" Qi decided to take the initiative and speak out first.
Lin Qi raised his head when he heard this, his eyes burning with hatred. A peach-like face, but it looked too haggard, and there seemed to be traces of undried tears.
"Yes," Lin Qi's tone was calm and composed, "I know the purpose of your visit, and I also know the major events that my husband Lu Zhiwen and your Excellency are planning together."
Lin Qi's words made Qi Junce's eyes flash with sharpness. His correspondence with Lu Zhiwen was all based on encrypted letters.
No one except the two of them knew the secret code, if Lynch hadn't bombed him.
Then Lu Zhiwen really regarded Lin Qi as a bad wife and entrusted him with everything.
Qi Junce was always very suspicious and did not completely believe the straight-backed woman in front of him.
Qi Junce raised the tea cup and slowly opened the tea leaves floating on the water, but did not bring them to his mouth.
The corner of his eye caught Lin Qi's every move, but he didn't detect any hint of guilt.
"But why did you go to me? Shouldn't you go to Liu Touch, Lord Liu?" Qi Junce asked in return.
Lin Qi seemed to be talking about Qi Junce's question, but he still answered calmly.
"The Lu family has been entrenched in Songjiang for hundreds of years, with deep roots and luxuriant leaves. And my Lin family is also a prominent family. Mr. Liu is just caught in the middle and is in a dilemma."
Qi Junce raised his eyebrows, feeling that this Lin Qi might not be an ordinary boudoir girl.
"My husband died tragically. Even if it is for him, I will do my best to find the murderer." When Lu Zhiwen was mentioned, Lin Qi's expression finally turned into sadness and anger.
Qi Jun held his chin with his hand and put his index finger on his temple. He actually wanted to take a gamble for some reason.
"Then what do you need me to do for you?" Qi Junce asked.
The sadness between Lin Qi's brows eased for half a moment, and he finally got the desired result.
"I want Mr. Yan to acquit me." Lynch said word by word.
This was expected, and Qi Junce was not surprised.
"Okay," Qi Junce agreed happily, "What else is there?"
Lin Qi took a deep breath and said in a choked voice with a hint of trembling: "Help me, marry Lu Zhixiu, my husband's brother."
At dinner, when Qi Junce told Baozhu and the others what he saw and heard today, Jiang Heng choked on his tea and Baozhu almost choked on his rice.
Qi Junce was almost too busy to help the two of them, and he was in a hurry for a while.
"Ahem, cough, cough... Your Majesty, did you hear that correctly!?" Jiang Heng asked, his face turning red from coughing.
Baozhu also looked at Qi Junce's serious face with some disbelief, thinking he was joking.
"No." Qi Junce said two words naturally, leaving Baozhu and Jiang Heng even more confused.
"Then, His Majesty agreed?" Baozhu asked.
Qi Junce nodded, although he also felt it was very ridiculous.
But not only did he want to see how Lynch would take revenge, but more importantly, Qi Junce needed what Lynch had in his hands.
Before Lin Qi left, he stopped. Without looking back, he spoke suddenly.
"The civilian woman knows who you are and what kind of things you are planning with my husband."
As soon as Lin Qi said this, Ma Dongdu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This statement is tantamount to self-exposure, but for Qi Junce, it is also a sincerity of cooperation.
"My husband has entrusted me with everything you need. When the truth about my husband's death is revealed, it will also be the time to answer your urgent needs."
After Lin Qi said this, she walked away with a bit of a heroine's free and easy attitude.
Ma Dong stepped forward worriedly, "Your Majesty, how about we..." Then he scratched his neck hard with his finger.
Qi Junce knew what Ma Dong was worried about. Once Qi Junce's identity was exposed, everything would be over.
But Qi Junce is such a strange person, attracted by strange things.
Qi Junce smiled secretly, with a faint chill.
"Ma Dong, this woman is very interesting. Let her make trouble. If she is lying to me, she will feel better." Qi Junce said sternly.
When Ma Dong saw this, he didn't say much anymore, but he was confused in his heart.
"But why did Lin Qi do this? Besides, Mrs. Wang already doubted her, so why would she let her marry her last youngest son?" Baozhu asked in disbelief.
Qi Junce nodded, "I also asked her about your doubts, but she said that as long as she is found not guilty and she is allowed to meet Lu Zhixiu, everything will be arranged."
Baozhu tilted his head, puzzled by this. This Lin Qi is really a strange person.
Three days later, Lynch was acquitted by Qi Junce.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, some were happy that Lin Qi was exonerated, and some were rumored by Fei Fei that the Lin family was colluding with the government.
The Lu family even came to make trouble, but the current head of the family, Lu Zhixiu, was the only one missing.
But people soon stopped focusing public opinion on Lynch's innocence, because even more explosive news came seven days later.
Lin Qi will marry the new head of the family, Lu Zhixiu, and will still be the matron of the Lu family. It will still be a grand wedding.
At this time, the calm Songjiang exploded. Baozhu took Yuenu and walked through the streets and alleys to listen to the rumors that added fuel to the fire.
Some people say that Lin Qi was a thousand-year-old fox who became a spirit. He was so confused that the two Lu brothers were obsessed with him. He killed his elder brother and then killed his younger brother.
Some people say that Lu Zhixiu was possessed by some unknown demon, and he threatened Mrs. Wang with death at home to make him agree to marry Lin Qi.
The eldest son is dead, and Mrs. Wang is the last precious son Lu Zhixiu has. Other branches of the Lu family were eyeing her, so Mrs. Wang could only compromise.
Baozhu's handful of melon seeds were eaten from the end of the alley to the end of the street, which was really enjoyable to hear.
But no matter what happened, the Lu family and the Lin family got married again, and the ridiculous thing about sister-in-law turning into sister-in-law was really going to happen.
Not to mention Qi Junce, Baozhu couldn't hold back what kind of scene and excitement the wedding in seven days would be like.
Seven days later, the whole city of Songjiang was decorated with red and colorful decorations, and it was even more lively than Lu Zhiwen's time.
Lu Zhixiu rode a tall horse, smiling so hard that the corners of his mouth would split, and went to the Lin family to pick up the bride.
But he didn't know that in the sedan chair, Lin Qi was so angry that his fingers were deeply embedded in his palms.
