Chapter 312 The Shit Pot Knocks on the Head
Seeing Lu Qingchen's subconscious reaction, Qin Miaoxi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
From that moment on, she recalled the unforgettable scene of that night. That day, the whole world was stained red with blood. The moment she opened the door, there were corpses lying all over the place. The bodies of the Yang family, young and old, were piled inside the door, including Grandpa Yang, Uncle Yang, and the little girl Yang who held her hand and called her beautiful sister.
There were countless wounds on their bodies that were deep enough to see the bones, and the small bodies were covered with bruises, indicating that they had been brutally beaten before they died.
The house behind her was on fire. She looked up and saw that cruel figure.
She was sure that she was not mistaken. The madman had a strong body, while the figure was thin.
At first she was not sure about Lu Qingchen, but since he mentioned the Yang family in his heart, and thought of the sachet that was the same as Yang Xiaoniu's, she was sure.
Her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't understand how Lu Qingchen could be related to the mad demon, or was he related to the extermination of the Yang family?
At this moment, a faint voice sounded, "He was the one who wiped out the whole family."
The four people present looked over in shock. The one who spoke was the Mad Demon. His face was pale from excessive blood loss and he was staring at Lu Qingchen. "I kill people, but I never wipe out the whole family. He was the one who did the wiping out of the whole family you're talking about."
Lu Qingchen was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He retorted at the top of his voice, "Shut up! You're slandering me! Everyone knows that you've wiped out families, villages, and towns. You've done all sorts of heinous things. You're the one who killed people. I saw it with my own eyes..."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Qin Miaoxi's attention was still more focused on him, and she immediately seized the flaw as soon as these words came out.
Lu Qingchen was speechless for a moment, "I..."
He kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't come up with a clear answer. [Please, Heaven, distinguish between loyalty and treachery! Wife, he really did kill people. When I arrived at the Yang family, I saw the maniac killing people. It was too late for me to stop him. The Yang family members were already dead. I...]
"Why did you go to the Yang family?"
"You are the Marquis of Xuanping, how come you know someone from the Yang family?"
"When the Yang family was wiped out, you should have been in Jingzhao. How did you end up at the Yang family? And why did you appear when the Mad Demon was killing people?"
Questions were thrown out one after another, and Lu Qingchen's face turned from green to white. He was silent for a while before he said, "I was here, but I didn't kill him. I swear!"
Qin Miaoxi didn't say anything else, just looked at him quietly.
Lu Qingchen was a little exasperated. "Wife, don't you believe me? Well, even if you don't believe me, think about it carefully. I don't know the Yang family at all, and I have no motive to kill them. Why would I kill them?"
He tugged at his collar in frustration, as if a loosened collar would allow him to breathe some fresh air. "Besides, I'm the Marquis of Xuanping. Even if I want someone, even an entire family, dead, there's no need to do it myself. I have plenty of ways to kill them."
I don’t know which words touched Qin Miaoxi, and she then turned away her scrutinizing gaze.
He turned around and walked up to the mad demon, stepping on him with one foot, and the sound of crackling continued.
"You tell me."
"What do you want me to say?" After a few words, the wound on his neck began to bleed again.
"Tell me how you met him."
The madman suddenly laughed, "I was hiding from pursuit and happened to stay at a family's house, and I saw him killing someone."
If looks could kill, Lu Qingchen would have cut him into pieces.
Qin Miaoxi lowered her head in thought, as if considering the credibility of his words.
"You said you never kill people but destroy their families?"
The madman was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak.
swoosh~
The sharp arrow cut through the air, and before anyone could react, it shot into his heart and passed through it completely.
In just a moment, the madman stopped breathing.
"Who?"
Qin Miaoxi frowned and looked, and saw several horses appearing in the distance, with men dressed in yamen runners' uniforms sitting on them.
Soon one of them stepped forward and looked down at Qin Miaoxi and the other three. "This is a serious criminal of the imperial court. Why didn't you immediately hand him over to the authorities after you caught him?"
"Who told you to kill him?"
Qin Miaoxi questioned him angrily, and was about to ask the truth, but just a little bit short of that, he actually killed the man. If it weren't for the last bit of rationality she had left, she would have strangled the man's neck immediately.
The man hadn't expected anyone to dare question her. He sneered and cursed, "How dare you! I find your behavior suspicious and suspect you are all accomplices of the madman. Come! Bring them all back to the yamen for questioning."
When the people in the distance heard the order, they immediately rode forward.
"Let's see who dares!"
Lu Qingchen stood in front of them, holding up the Marquis's token and shouting, "Open your eyes and see, I am the Marquis of Xuanping."
The token gleamed coldly in the sunlight. Those men were just ordinary yamen runners, used to speaking in official language in front of ordinary people. They didn't expect to hit a wall this time. They were so scared that they rolled off their horses and knelt in front of them to beg for mercy.
"Forgive me, my Lord. I didn't know it was you who came. Please forgive me for my blunt words."
Lu Qingchen was filled with anger and kicked him angrily, "Answer my wife's question, who asked you to kill the crazy demon?"
He originally had a chance to explain, but now that the person is dead, no matter what the truth is, there is no evidence to prove his guilt. The blame is now on his head, and he cannot clear his name even if he wants to.
[Damn, will my wife actually believe what the crazy demon said? I'm so wronged, I really didn't do it!]
The yamen runner said tremblingly, "The court has ordered that the madman be killed immediately on sight. We received news that the madman appeared here, so we came to try our luck. Of course, we killed him the first time we saw him."
"you……"
Lu Qingchen's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound. They didn't come earlier or later, but just came at the critical moment. He suspected that these people did it on purpose and were all against him.
Zi Yan checked the Crazy Demon's wound, walked to Qin Miaoxi and said, "Miss, she's dead."
In fact, Zi Yan didn't need to remind her, she also knew that the Mad Demon would not survive. After Lu Qingchen cut his neck, he was at the end of his strength. The only reason he could live a little longer was because of the medicine he prepared.
"Take the body back to the government office!"
Qin Miaoxi waved her hand and said without even looking at them.
Hearing this, several people were overjoyed and thanked Qin Miaoxi repeatedly, "Thank you very much, young lady. We will report the matter truthfully and will not take any reward from you."
"Need not."
Qin Miaoxi gritted her teeth and was the first to leave.
Lu Qingchen followed behind silently, rubbing his hands together with an innocent and nervous look.
Zi Yan looked at the indifferent young lady and glared at Wen Zhu unhappily. For every master, there are servants. He was not a good guy either.
Wen Zhu was completely worried about his master at the moment. He wanted to help but didn't know where to start. He lowered his head and naturally missed Zi Yan's angry gaze.
Several yamen runners watched them leave, their servile expressions instantly vanishing. The leader surveyed the corpses on the ground and ordered, "Send the mad demon's body back immediately, and inform the young marquis that he was here. Please make the final decision, Master."
