Hwarang's question was quickly answered, Ma Juan did have a red mole behind her ear.

Now, it is certain that it was Ma Juan who was killed.

It's just who the murderer is, are they really those beggars who saved lives?

At this time, another yamen servant who was sent out came back. His investigation this time is Ma Liangcai, and according to his investigation, Ma Liangcai's shop has been losing money for a long time, and now all the money is borrowed from the Long family. Yes, that is to say, the reason why he insisted on marrying off his daughter knowing that Longtian's conduct was not good, was to offset those debts. In other words, he was planning to sell his daughter, and now his daughter is dead. , all his plans went to waste.

And just after Hwarang and the others learned the secret, the Long family finally took action. They took away all valuable things of Ma Liangcai, and even confiscated the mansion. In the end, only Ma Liangcai was left. The store that has become an empty shell.

Today Ma Liangcai lives in the shop, but no one visits him anymore.

The state of the world is like this, if a person loses power and loses money, there will be no more people who are willing to help him. After all, when those people are helping him, they are already thinking about how to get more returns from him up.

Most of the people in this world put their interests first, and if they have no interests, they will probably not be able to do anything.

Hwarang never went to see Ma Liangcai again, because he felt that there was nothing he needed to see now, but Ma Liang was not allowed to leave Huainan City until the murder case was investigated clearly.

After several days of searching, the yamen servants finally got clues about those beggars. Since Ma Juan was killed, those beggars have changed their outfits, from the original beggars to the children of ordinary people. The clothes of the beggars are much better. They don't do anything, but they have money in their hands. They don't go out very much every day and stay at home all day.

Because of this, their behavior aroused the suspicion of the neighbors around them. When these neighbors passed the news to the government office, the government officials found out that something was wrong. So one evening, they besieged these people and took all the beggars away. But among these beggars, there is a woman who looks very similar to Ma Juan. This woman is dressed in plain clothes at this time, but it gives people a completely new feeling, which feels like the first sunshine after the rain.

When Hwarang saw that woman, he was still surprised after all. He was really similar to Ma Juan, but she had an elegant temperament that Hwarang didn't see from Ma Juan. Maybe Ma Juan had something. Yes, it's just that he died, and then that temperament disappeared.

After taking a look, Hwarang immediately started to ask, he looked at the woman who looked very similar to Ma Juan and asked, "What's your name?"

The woman was a little scared, but she still replied: "Chen Jing."

A very popular name, Hwarang nodded, and then continued to ask: "Tell me everything you have encountered, and don't miss anything."

Chen Jing glanced at Hwarang, nodded slightly, and then started from the beginning.

"Ten days ago, I came to Huainan City from other places and became a beggar. Then I met these elder brothers. They were very kind to me and gave me everything to eat. But suddenly one day, I was caught Two men were kidnapped. I didn't know until the end that they wanted me to pretend to be someone, and that person was Miss Ma Juan. She wanted to elope with her lover and wanted me to be a scapegoat to marry him. That Longtian, I was terrified at the time, and I was unwilling to do so. Maybe the masters didn't believe that being a lady is better than being a beggar, but I don't want to be a lady, and I don't want to marry Longtian instead of Ma Juan. I just want to be free, but I was kidnapped by them, I didn't dare to resist, in the end I could only pretend to obey, and at this moment, these big brothers of mine rushed out and rescued me, when we left the Ma Mansion, we will That Ma Juan was bound to a chair and her mouth was sealed, as compensation, we took away a few pieces of jewelry, that's how it happened, my lords, we didn't kill anyone, please forgive me."

After Chen Jing finished speaking, she knelt down, and Hua Lang, Sima Guang and others had to think a lot before they could confirm whether what he said was true.

If what Chen Jing said was true, then Ma Juan wasn't killed by these beggars, but if it wasn't killed by these beggars, who would have killed her.

In the entire city of Huainan, Hua Lang really couldn't think of anyone else who would have this motive to kill Ma Juan.

As for a woman like Chen Jing, would she lie? After all, the crime of murder is not a small one. Even if he was acting in self-defense, he would probably be implicated.

When Hwarang was thinking like this, he suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly asked: "You tied Ma Juan to a chair and sealed her mouth."

Chen Jing nodded: "Because we were afraid that Ma Juan's shouting would affect our escape, so we blocked her mouth."

Hwarang showed a slight smile, if Chen Jing didn't kill someone, he finally found someone who might be the murderer, this person is absolutely possible.

After some thought, Hwarang ordered someone to bring Ma Liangcai here. When Ma Liangcai came to the mansion, his expression was bleak, as if he had no longer loved the whole world. Hwarang glanced at him, and suddenly asked: "Ma Liangcai, can you admit to murdering someone?"

Ma Liangcai raised his head, his eyes were dim, but at this moment, he suddenly burst into tears, and he said while crying, "I killed it, I killed my daughter..."

Ma Liangcai was crying bitterly in the lobby, it looked really bleak, but at this time his eyes were still dim, presumably it was because he had no attachment to life, so he didn't quibble, otherwise he If he doesn't admit it, Hwarang wants him to confess, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

But now, Ma Liangcai pleaded guilty. He admitted that he was the murderer who killed his daughter, but Wen Meng, Sima Guang, and Chen Jing were all shocked. They didn't understand or understand why Ma Liangcai was like this The person who would kill his daughter would kill his daughter. Besides, if he killed Ma Juan, wouldn't he be able to achieve his goal of resisting through Ma Juan's marriage to the Long family?

What Ma Liangcai did was really incomprehensible, but everyone was not in a hurry. They believed that since Ma Liangcai had admitted to the murder, he would definitely explain his motive and purpose for the murder. All you need to do is listen carefully.

"Tell me about your murder." After being shocked, Sima Guang finally asked this sentence.
