Chapter 141: All traces exposed (Part )

When Mo Tingfeng saw Zhuang Yuheng coming, he motioned for him to take a seat.

"Here you come? Please sit down for a moment. We still need someone to start the show."
.
After being beaten with twenty official sticks, the magpie was like a puddle of mud. It rolled its eyes and was carried by two attendants from the Si Chen Mansion and thrown to the front of the palace.

"You're pretending to be dead after only twenty battles? Isn't it time for you to eat human bone marrow in the Thirteenth Cave?" Ding Heran sneered.

Hearing this, Zhuang Yuheng's heart trembled. Could it be that Wei Wei's kidnapping was related to this maid? !
If this is true, will Mianmian...? He couldn't help but feel frightened, impossible! Mianmian has been sensible and sensible since she was a child, and even the willful daughters of some families would never do such inhuman things.

Magpie had no reaction to Ding Heran's words. She remained motionless, as if she was unconscious.

Ding Heran smiled slightly, "Great, I'll give you another twenty official sticks and I'll beat him until he wakes up!"

Upon hearing this, Magpie almost jumped up from the ground and knelt down, "Wake up, wake up, my slave's body is weak and I really can't fight anymore!"
.
"Magpie? Why are you here? What's going on?"

A delicate female voice came from outside the hall, and Ruan Mianmian arrived.

When the magpie saw her coming, he thought he was coming to save her. He got up with excitement and wanted to pull up Ruan Mianmian's skirt, but the latter turned a blind eye and walked over quickly.

Mo Tingfeng looked at the person who came and said, "We are all here. Miss Ruan, please take a seat."

"Brother Tingfeng, you asked me to come over with your kind words, but why did you address me so politely... Hey, cousin, you are here too? I haven't seen you for a few days. Mianmian misses you so much!"

Ruan Mianmian rushed to Zhuang Yuheng's side and took his arm to act coquettishly. Zhuang Yuheng just smiled faintly, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"Master! Master, please save this slave! Please intercede with Master Si Chen. This slave is really just going to the ghost market to buy novelties and knows nothing else!"

The magpie knelt on the ground, moved its knees to Ruan Mianmian's side, and kowtowed.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Mianmian rolled his eyes at her, looking annoyed.

"You damn girl are getting more and more shameless. How many days have you been sneaking out? You asked nicely to buy me some new gadgets. Where are the things? Where did you buy them? You are obviously taking the opportunity to be lazy and sneak out to have fun on your own."

"Brother Tingfeng, please help me take good care of her." Ruan Mianmian pouted and acted coquettishly at Mo Tingfeng.
.
Mo Tingfeng sat on the judge's chair temporarily set up in the side hall.

"Magpie, tell me in detail where you have been and what you did in the ghost market. No one can protect you if you lie half a word."

"Lord Qi, the Luoyang Ghost Market is a long way away, and my slave's magic power is low. Although I have left Ruan Mansion for a few days, I only arrived at the ghost market on the day when your Resentment Breaker intercepted me. I didn't go anywhere. So I went to Qidong, which sells medicine.”

"Oh? Then what did you buy at Qidong? It happened that someone here was poisoned by Qidong, and he was worried that there was no antidote." Ding Heran walked to Magpie's side with his hands behind his back, looking interested.

"I didn't buy anything... The Master of Seven Holes was in poor health and didn't make new medicine, so I left. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the ghost market, I was stopped by you... Master! Master, save me!"

"It seems that you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

As Ding Heran spoke, he took out two ingots of official silver from his sleeve pocket and placed them on the presentation table, "Does it look familiar? Take a closer look. There is a Ruan character on the silver stamp. Since you didn't buy anything this time, Why should you give money to the guy at Seventh Hole?”

Magpie was stunned, and after murmuring for a long time, he came up with an excuse, saying that this was the money he had spent to buy anti-bone water and the love sachet before, not the money given out this time.

"Okay, even if you are telling the truth. Magpie, let me ask you, apart from these two medicines, have you never bought anything else in the ghost market?"

"Commander Ding, every word of this slave is true, and I have never bought anything else!"
.
Ding Heran smiled, clicked his tongue, took out another ingot of gold from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the offering table.

"Oh, I just missed it and forgot that there is another ingot of gold. Please explain it to me."

The magpie was speechless and denied that the gold had anything to do with him. Her heart skipped a beat. Anyway, there was no Ruan Mansion silver stamp on it. God knew who it was.

"Heran, are you mistaken? How can a maid like Magpie get so much money?" Ruan Mianmian said slowly. Ding Heran scratched his head and made a face, "Oh, since Miss Ruan said that, it's really possible that I made a mistake. I'm sorry, I'll ask someone to come up and ask."

Turning around, he looked extremely serious and solemn, "Wujiu, bring this person up!"

The magpie was dumbfounded when he saw it, and the scar-faced man was brought up by Ye Wujiu, who bound his hands.

"Magpie, do you know this person?" Ye Wujiu asked calmly.

"Yes...it's the guy from Qi Dong, I've met him before."

"Just met? You asked the Seventh-dong trickster to pull the strings and let Thirteenth-dong kidnap people. The silver coins just now were the bounty for this transaction. The money was collected by the Seventh-dong guy. He has confessed. What else do you have? Can you tell me?" Ye Wujiu said.

A thin layer of sweat formed on Magpie's back. She looked to Ruan Mianmian for help, but the latter looked away and didn't look at her at all. She then looked at the scar-faced man, who looked very calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. .

After gritting his teeth, Magpie stood up.

"So this is how the Sichen Mansion handles cases? Although I rarely go to the ghost market, I also know that all the guests who enter wear the same mask. They are all female guests. Their clothes can be changed and their voices can be imitated. In addition, their body shapes It’s almost the same. How can you tell that it’s me who paid for the kidnapping?”

"You are wearing a mask, not a painted skin. I received the two ingots of silver and one ingot of gold in the evening four days ago. You were the one who gave the money. How can I prove it?" The scar-faced man looked at the magpie's words.

"Okay! Even if I gave you the money, how can you prove that it was a reward for kidnapping and not a deposit for buying potions? It's empty talk. It's not impossible for you to collude with others and intentionally harm me!"

The scar-faced man raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't forget, you went to our boss to discuss the matter of hooking up people, or I picked you up at the entrance of the ghost market. I am the best witness."

"It's true that you took it from me, but I'm going to buy some potion!"

The magpies are getting more aggressive.

"Unscrupulous people in the ghost market, what can't you do for money? Could it be that you couldn't find the case owner and saw that I went to Qidong to buy potions, so you insisted on using me to top up the money? Since you have to say that it's me and the ghost master of Qidong It’s okay to discuss this matter. Every wrongdoer has his own fault, so why doesn’t the deceiver come to prove it himself?”

The scarred man's eyes flashed with hatred when he heard this.

"The boss is missing, tell me! Did you find someone to do this?!"

Upon hearing this, the magpie laughed loudly, the sound was sharp and unpleasant.

"Commander Ye also said just now that the case was led by the Master of the Seventh Hole. Since the witness you called is not the Master of the Seventh Hole himself, how can you prove that I was the one who committed the crime? Are you saying that you don't want to surrender?! They just want to use me as an excuse to plot against Ruan Mansion and Sikong Mansion!"
.
"Magpie, please be careful."

Ruan Mianmian spoke leisurely, "Sichen's Mansion must have its own rules for handling cases. It is inevitable that mistakes will occur in complex cases. You must not be rude."

"Master taught me this lesson." The magpie followed the words and stood upright, with a look of pride on his face.

There was silence in the hall for a while, Zhuang Yuheng felt bored, he was thinking about Song Weichen. He looked at Mo Tingfeng and Ruan Mianmian, stood up and sat down again, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Mo Tingfeng tapped the back of the chair with his fingers, again and again.

The magpie lowered her eyebrows as if to obey her eyes, but could not hide the disdainful smile on her lips, "Sir Si Chen, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will not delay the Si Chen Mansion's handling of the case and go back with the master."

"Don't worry." Mo Tingfeng smiled slightly.

"The fun hasn't begun yet."
