Li Gui and Li Ming nodded solemnly. “Yes.”
With that, the two of them left.
Master Wang and Madam Wang did not look guilty at all and agreed readily. “Indeed, we must get to the bottom of this. She died too suddenly.”
Madam Wang looked at Zhu Zongyang and his wife, her eyes turning cold. She originally planned to inform them about it two days later. When the time came, she would just compensate them with some money to ensure that they could lead a comfortable life.
However, she didn’t expect that Granny Zhou would go back on her words and break her promise and that Zhu Zongyang didn’t die. Anyway, even if they investigated, they would not be able to find anything. Therefore, Master Wang and Madam Wang were not afraid. Instead, they were angry.
When Madam Yu realized how heartless Master Wang and Madam Wang were, she was furious. She suddenly thought of Liu Sanniang. She turned around and saw that Liu Sanniang was not far away.
Without a warning, she got down on her knees in front of Liu Sanniang, begging. “Miss Liu, it’s my fault to not have listened to you. My daughter died a miserable death. Miss, please be magnanimous and forgive me. Please seek justice for my daughter.”
Madam Yu’s heart-breaking voice forced Zhu Zongyang to regain some rationality. He looked at the girl as well. Liu Sanniang glanced at Madam Yu with pity. She had long known that this would happen, but when it really happened, she did not gloat. She only felt pity.
Zhu Zongyang was so ashamed that he wanted to die on the spot. He had always thought that Liu Sanniang was going against him, but in fact, she had never done that. He had always been the one going against his own ridiculous vanity.
Liu Sanniang had always been sincere. It was him who repeatedly rejected her help.
Zhu Zongyang knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, I deserve it. Please help me.”
Liu Sanniang had already reached out to help Madam Yu stand up. “Get up.”
Madam Yu lowered her head and refused to get up. Zhu Zongyang lay on the ground, his back bent. He was regretful, but it was too late.
Wei Shilai sighed. If Zhu Zongyang hadn’t been so arrogant, his daughter would still be alive. It was too late now.
Zhu Yan was already dead.
Zhu Zongyang’s voice was hoarse, as if his soul had been sucked out. He said, “Miss Liu, please get justice for my daughter.”
Master Wang looked at Liu Sanniang with a sinister gaze. “She’s just a swindler. How can her words be trusted? Magistrates, I believe you are righteous and impartial. Without evidence, you won’t arrest us, right?”
Even if Zhu Yan’s death was strange, the Wang family was sure that the government would not be able to find any proof. If they were arrested on a groundless charge, no one would be convinced.
Wei Shilai and Li Guanfeng nodded. “Of course.”
When investigating a case, evidence was naturally the most important element.
Master Wang looked at Zhu Zongyang and Madam Yu with a cold expression. “Our Wang family is innocent. Sir, please get to the bottom of this and don’t let anyone slander us.”
Madam Wang also said calmly, “That’s right. Killing is not a joke. You can’t wrong us for no reason.”
Liu Sanniang responded calmly. “You didn’t kill anyone, but what you did was far worse than killing.”
Li Guanfeng looked at Liu Sanniang with a deep gaze, but he concealed his emotions and instantly looked away from her.
Li Guanfeng’s subordinates, Li Gui and Li Ming, soon arrived there.
The coroner, Wang Xigui, came with his students. He nodded at Wei Shilai and Li Guanfeng. “Magistrate Wei, Magistrate Li, where is the victim?”
Wei Shilai pointed at the wedding bed.
Wang Xigui brought his students to the bed and started the autopsy.
“There are no external injuries on her body, and she wasn’t poisoned. The cause of death is unknown. To find out the cause, we’ll have to dissect the body,” said Wang Xigui after checking.
Master Wang smiled. “No matter how you check, it’s the same. There is no way she could be poisoned. After all, Zhu Yan was still young. If Mr. Zhu agrees to dissect your daughter’s body, we have no objections. During the investigation stage, the entire Wang family will cooperate.”
Madam Wang glanced at Liu Sanniang coldly. “We’re innocent, but this woman is full of nonsense. Sir, you are fair and just. You won’t turn a blind eye to her slandering us, right?”
Madam Yu hammered her chest. “Madam Wang, Master Wang, you have no conscience. You’ll die a horrible death.”
Master Wang and Madam Wang’s faces turned cold as they shouted. “Guard, beat up this couple and throw them out. How annoying!”
Liu Sanniang opened her mouth and softly chanted a few Sanskrit words.
The room resounded with some ethereal sounds.
Clap, clap, clap.
A few crisp sounds brought everyone back to their senses. A figure in wedding clothes slowly walked into the house.
Master Wang and Madam Wang looked at the person and frowned. “Xu, what are you doing here?”
“Mother, I’m here to watch the show.”
Wang Xu smiled and gave the crowd a sweeping glance. He raised his hand. “There’s one more thing. My name is Wang Peng, not Wang Xu.”
Wang Peng was the name he gave himself. Looking at the sudden change in Master Wang and Madam Wang’s expressions, he smiled and said, “My name is good, right?”
Wang Peng smiled. When he walked out of Wang Xu’s body, Wang Xu’s body collapsed.
Wang Peng looked at Madam Wang who had a horrified look on her face and said with a smile, “Don’t be afraid. He won’t die. How can I let him die? He’s my younger brother.”
Wang Peng’s body solidified. He was dressed in red and had a jade crown on his head. His eyes were strange, making people not able to look at him. Everyone present there felt a chill running down their spines.
Li Guanfeng said calmly, “Madam Wang, aren’t you going to explain what’s going on here? Isn’t there only one son in your Wang family? Who is he? Why are you so afraid of him?”
Wang Peng smiled. “That’s a good question. Why are they so afraid of me? They must have done something wrong. Otherwise, why are they scared of me? Come on. Tell them why. Did you kill me or eat my flesh? Why are you so afraid? Tsk, tsk, tsk… Master Wang, your legs are trembling. Don’t wet your pants. That’ll be embarrassing.”
