The reborn elder sister has gone crazy with killing, and there is a crying monster behind her

The county government office was still brightly lit, just as the county magistrate had done his work by candlelight when he was alive.

After the storm during the day, the guard at the door already knew Shen Qingxu and the others, so he let them in.

As soon as he entered the yard, Mu Yunzhou held back for a long time, but still couldn't help asking the question in his heart: "If so, who is the murderer?"

God knows he was almost dying of curiosity along the way!

"Isn't it obvious? The woman who has been pretending to defend the county magistrate." Gongsun Jiayan said.

Mu Yunzhou rolled his eyes and looked at Shen Qingxu and Xu Xingyi!

Xu Xingyi also sorted out his thoughts, but Mu Yunzhou still found it difficult to understand, so he asked again: "That woman? Logically speaking, there is nothing unusual about her except that she is a member of the Zhang family, right?"

Lin Shuyao had not listened carefully to what they were saying just now, but now she heard it clearly and understood the general process of the whole case, so she blurted out: "How do you know that the woman is from the Zhang family? Just because of a jade pendant?"

Xu Xingyi obviously agreed with Lin Shuyao's statement and said, "Well, that woman is indeed not a member of the Zhang family, but a servant of the county magistrate's mansion."

Now the others were even more confused. A servant? That woman? What was the use of such a servant in the county government?

Xu Xingyi did not completely agree with Lin Shuyao's statement. He shook his head and said, "Although she is a servant in the county government, she wears the Zhang family jade pendant. It can be seen that the Zhang family should value her very much. In addition, some people want the county magistrate to die, but they hide it too well. If the same jade pendant had not appeared, I am afraid that we would not have thought that the murderer was right next to us and was hidden so well!"

"What's that got to do with the whip?"

"I heard that there is a young lady in the Zhang family who has a guard with high martial arts skills. He is very good at whipping people with a whip. Every whip draws blood and is extremely painful!"

"So the magistrate was beaten to death?"

"Wait, whip assassination? Just a whip."

"That's right, just a whip. All you need is a whip with tough barbs, and everything can be explained." Xu Xingyi replied.

"When we examined the county magistrate's body, Xu Xingyi told me that the cut of his neck was a little jagged. When we used to cut meat without knives, we would use thorny vines to cut the meat. The county magistrate's neck was the same as that..."

"On our way to Zhang's house, the constable who was following us asked about some things about Zhang's family and the county government. When we saw the man chasing a woman with a bloody barbed whip at Zhang's house, we knew what was going on!"

"Since the murderer has been identified, why don't you arrest her?"

Lin Shuyao smiled and said, "She killed someone and spent so much effort on it, and then sent the whip to us to see. She will definitely come to the county government office by herself."

"So, alas..." The constable also knew who the murderer was and sighed deeply!

It was a quiet night. Shen Qingxu and the others were awakened by the noise outside. They quickly got up and went out. As soon as they went out, they saw a man in black fighting with several secret guards.

Gongsun Jiayan also came out. Seeing this, he asked Xu Xingyi, "Is this what you meant by her coming on her own?"

Xu Xingyi chuckled: "What else? Wouldn't it be better to let her fall into the trap herself instead of me personally arresting her? Then I won't be accused of wrongly accusing her."

After the fight was over, Shen Qingxu walked up to the man in black, took off his mask, and looked at the face that appeared twice in front of her without any surprise: "Is it fun to disguise yourself? Miss murderer?"

Fragments of words were heard from the side the moment the mask was removed: "Isn't this the daughter of the Zhang family, Zhang Jiuer?"

"Yes, I heard that she was not liked since she was a child and she rarely went out. I thought she was a soft persimmon, but she turned out to be a ruthless character? She even dared to kill the county magistrate?"

Zhang Jiuer bit her lips tightly, as if she knew how shameful such a thing was.

But if you really knew that what you were doing was shameful, you would have thought about this day and this moment a long time ago, so why bother doing it?

The gossip around continued.

"Yes, I heard that Miss Zhang's ninth daughter has a hard life!"

"The Zhang family is quite wealthy, why don't they give this girl a good life?"

"You may not know, but I heard that Zhang Jiuer was an abandoned baby and was picked up by the Zhang family!"

"She's an abandoned baby, what's the point of being nice to her?"

Shen Qingxu was different from the others. The first thing she said was: "For my own identity, for the anger in my heart, to be charged with a huge crime, is it worth it?"

With just one sentence, Zhang Jiuer yelled like crazy: "As a young lady, you don't have to worry about your identity. What about me? I'm just an abandoned baby. No one recognizes my identity. I have a father but he doesn't recognize me. He is sorry for me."

"If you want to recognize me as your father, then recognize me as your father. Why did you kill the county magistrate? He is innocent, right?"

Mu Yunzhou asked tentatively.

"He's not guilty? Hahahahahahaha, I think I heard some big joke. He was not chaste enough to mess with a woman, and then he left her alone after having a daughter. He's not guilty? I won't believe it even if I die."

Faced with this, Shen Qingxu just had a calm face, without any emotional fluctuations, and asked: "You hate him, you take revenge on him, but why did you kill fourteen people in the Zhang family?"

Zhang Jiuer answered without hesitation: "Of course I hate him. He broke my mother's heart and forced her to jump into the lake, leaving me an orphan. My life shouldn't have been like this. The Zhang family bullied my mother, they deserve to die! Yes, they said I was an abandoned baby and took me in just because they coveted my mother's beauty. They held me captive to threaten my mother..."

"But the county magistrate shouldn't be killed. He's such a good official, this shouldn't happen." Some people around were dissatisfied.

"He brought it upon himself..." the woman said with her neck stiff!

"You, do you know that the county magistrate of Baishui County, your father, was once a famous runner-up in Kyoto?"

"It's useless for such a heartless person to read more books..." The woman's eyes were red!

The old butler seemed to have made up his mind.

"Miss, there are some things that the master has never told you. Let me tell you!"

"That year, the young man who passed the imperial examination and ranked second was full of high spirits and went to Wanzhou to take up his post. On the way, he was framed by a villain and the innocence of a woman was ruined! The second place candidate was terrified because he already had a fiancée at home, but he could not avoid responsibility for ruining someone's innocence. He went home to discuss the matter with his parents, broke off the engagement, and compensated the woman with half of her family's wealth." The old butler spoke slowly, as if he was telling someone else's story.

"When I went to the ruined girl's home to propose marriage, I was told that the girl had shaved her head and become a nun, and went to the temple to practice Buddhism!"

"The runner-up was reported for his lack of moral integrity and was sent to another place to be a minor official!"

"The runner-up wanted to compensate the woman he had hurt. After much inquiry, he found out that he had been deceived by the woman's family and that the woman had been driven away by her family long ago!"

"The second place winner followed the girl to Baishui County! He did everything he could to get the position of county magistrate. The second place winner lived with the girl for two years!"

"The wealthy Zhang family master fell in love with this beautiful woman. He spent most of his money but failed to impress her. So he colluded with the officials of the prefecture and bribed his superiors to arrest the runner-up on trumped-up charges."

"Later they locked him up in the provincial jail and tortured him. The woman had nowhere to turn to, but she wanted to save her husband, so she gave herself to the master of the Zhang family!" The old woman's hoarse voice came, and the woman in black was startled.

"Half a year later, the woman gave birth to a daughter. Mr. Zhang knew that the child was not his and he was disgusted with her. However, in order to keep the woman by his side, he took the child away! He prevented the mother and daughter from seeing each other!"

"Once the woman secretly meets him, she will torture the child!

Clearly, each sentence was without any ups and downs.

Zhang Jiuer's eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"How could such a smart person not know who his daughter is? He is an honest official who loves the people like his own children. He just wants to be nice to others so that they will be nice to his daughter after he is gone..."

"Stop talking, nanny, stop talking..." The woman in black squatted down in pain.

"Miss, you are really confused. I thought you came to the county government and worked as an errand boy for him every day because you wanted to reunite with your daughter. I never thought you had such thoughts..."

"I don't know, I don't know. Yunmei said that he didn't recognize us, but she thought that he had been honest all his life and had a high moral character. He shouldn't have a stain like my mother and I..."

"Where's Yunmei? Hurry up and get Yunmei here. Where did Yunmei go?"

"Yun Mei was beaten to death by Jian Ying yesterday!"

“Ah… yes, Yunmei is dead! Hahahaha… Jian Ying beat Yunmei to death!”

Shen Qingxu opened his mouth slowly and said, "He was originally a county magistrate, honest and upright, and never engaged in corruption. He was only drugged that time, which tarnished your mother's innocence. He had never experienced such a thing before. At that time, he was only afraid that he could not protect himself, and afraid that he could not protect you, so he had to flee first. But he also tried his best to make up for that mistake. He and your mother are not without love. Your mother forgave him a long time ago, otherwise how could you be born!"

"He suffered no more than you did when your mother died, but he was already gray-haired at the age of forty-something. Later, he became a truly good official, even giving alms to beggars on the street. Yet, you killed such a man because you believed in slander."

The woman squatted on the ground and covered her face and cried...

She sobbed. All these years of forbearance and persistence had become a joke!

That night, Yunmei acted like a madman in her ear, making up stories about her father's crimes. She stood outside the window and watched him struggling in the house. Was she happy or in pain?

Yunmei said to chop off her head to commemorate her mother, she did not hesitate...

Shen Qingxu continued, "Perhaps in your heart, in those rumors that deceived you, he really deserves to die, but for those people who benefited from his kindness, he should live well and benefit more people."

After Shen Qingxu finished speaking, a breeze blew across her face, as if the wind understood every word she said. The wind brought silence but also took away a sense of desolation.

Zhang Jiuer was taken away. She watched with her own eyes as her "biological father" was covered with a white cloth and carried into the coffin. Soon, her eyes seemed to become moist. It was not until she tasted saltiness on her lips that she realized that she... had cried.

Her faith collapsed, and the meaning of her lingering survival disappeared!

She is hopelessly stupid...

"It's really inappropriate for a girl like you to hang around in the county government office..."

"How can you wear so little in such a cold weather? Look at your outfit, it's totally uncivilized!"

"How come you're already eighteen in just a few years? Even if you're a sloppy girl, you should be married, right?"

"There are many rooms in the county government office. There is a small open space at the door of the room at the back of the upper room. It's enough for you to mess around..."

"I'm here to visit the people in the fields. What are you doing with me? Go back quickly..."

"Every day he comes to me to beg for food in the guise of a beggar. I don't know where this hobby comes from..."

"Alas, how come you are almost thirty, and you are the only slovenly woman in Baishui County who still can't find a husband..."

"In the future when I go on a long journey, if you still go out on the street pretending to be a beggar and begging for food, they will give you food because they are grateful to me, so you won't starve..."

Some people may be like this. They deserve to die and their crimes are unforgivable, but they are honest and upright, and their glory shines brightly.

This world is always unfair, some people are deep in the mud, some are deep in clear water;

Some people are deep in the abyss, and some people are deep in the light;

Some people were at the bottom of the river, while others were resting on the shore.

Zhang Jiuer regretted it and she wished she could exchange her father's life for her own.

The first time she met him, he was so kind to beggars and so charitable!

Yunmei said that was his father, how could he ignore her and her mother?

The next day, the constable came and reported that Zhang Jiuer had hit his head with blood all over his body in the prison and had strangled himself to death!
