"What did you say? My mother Du Sanniang was killed by you. You, you, you are really too much..."

The maid Hongzhu's words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly igniting the anger and hatred in Tong Wenjie's heart. He widened his eyes, flashing with a crazy light, as if he wanted to destroy everything in front of him.

Tong Wenjie took a sudden step forward, grabbed the maid Hongzhu's neck tightly with both hands, shook her body vigorously, and roared hysterically: "You bitch, you dare to kill my mother! I will never let you go!" There was endless grief and despair in his voice, as if he wanted to vent all the pain.

"Stop!" Li Shiliu's face changed when she saw this, and she shouted loudly. The coroner beside her immediately stepped forward and tried to pull Tong Wenjie away, but Tong Wenjie had completely lost his mind and fell into madness. His strength was extremely strong, and a coroner could not stop his violence at all.

Seeing the maid Hongzhu's face gradually turn blue and purple, Li Shiliu was anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward and hit Tong Wenjie's numb point with one palm, causing him to temporarily let go. Then, she slapped Tong Wenjie's face hard, and the crisp sound echoed in the air.

"Pa!" The slap was so heavy that Tong Wenjie's face tilted to one side, leaving a red and swollen palm print on his face. His body trembled slightly, as if he had come back to his senses from his madness.

Li Shiliu looked at Tong Wenjie coldly and said, "Are you awake? Do you want to kill the witness who can identify the murderer of your mother Du Sanniang with your own hands?" Her words were cold and harsh, making Tong Wenjie shiver.

Li Shiliu's words successfully made Tong Wenjie let go, and then Tong Wenjie knelt on the ground in pain and collapse, unable to hold back his tears any longer.

"Send someone to inform Governor Lu that this princess will give him a great merit so that he can rise to a high position." Li Shiliu looked at Tong Wenjie, who was breaking down and crying on the ground, with cold eyes. Her mind was not on him at all, but on how to make good use of the maid Hongzhu who had turned against her.

Tong Wenjie was crying bitterly there, but Li Shiliu didn't care. She thought to herself that it would be such a waste to just use Hongzhu to bring down Aunt Li.

After all, there is still Tong Guoan to deal with. It seems that he has to find a way to delay time and not expose his plan too early.

Prefect Lu arrived very quickly. Li Shiliu did not say much, but took him aside and began to discuss the next countermeasures.

Li Shiliu pointed at the person in the room and said, "The person inside is called Hongzhu. She was a personal maid who served Aunt Li for more than ten years. She knows a lot of things. Just now, she admitted that she was the one who drugged and killed Madam Du."

Lu Fuyin was slightly stunned, and instantly understood what Li Shiliu meant. He looked at Li Shiliu gratefully, knowing that Li Shiliu had brought him a great contribution.

Li Shiliu continued, "Please ask Prefect Lu to interrogate this maid carefully. You will definitely be able to dig out a lot of useful information from her. But even if you get some information, please don't act rashly for the time being."

Prefect Lu nodded to show that he understood. He knew that Li Shiliu must have a hidden meaning behind doing this, so he agreed.
