Chapter 40: The Trial (1)

Chapter 40: The Trial (1)

It turned out that Zhao Wei had long coveted Deng Rumeng’s beauty, and he had always wanted to marry her.

However, despite his unsightly figure, he had a few concubines.

Moreover, he wasted his time on a luxurious lifestyle of eating and gambling. He was infamous in Huang Yang Town for being a playboy.

Deng Rumeng had long been in love with her servant Ah Ming. Zhao Wei somehow learned of this matter and released this news.

After the news came out, the Deng Family had been vexed. To protect the reputation of the Deng Family, they could only resort to the method Deng Rumeng’s mother used.

After all, although Ah Ming was a servant, the family would rather go with him than Zhao Wei.

However, they did not expect that Zhao Wei would learn of this as well. In his fury, he had not only killed Deng Rumeng but also poisoned the well in the Deng Mansion.

He had also hired assassins and killed the entire Deng Family. Then, he even looted all the valuable items to fake the evidence of looting.

A few days ago, Ah Ming had secretly returned to burn paper money for the Deng Family. However, he had encountered the government officials, who suspected that he was the murderer. They had then taken him away to the Police Bureau for interrogation.

After listening, Lu Sheng was put on the spot. “Without any evidence, no one will believe what I say.”

“I have evidence!” Deng Rumeng exclaimed. “Zhao Wei placed the Deng Family’s wealth under his bed. There’s a secret room under his bed, and I saw this with my own eyes!”

If not for the mage Zhao Wei had invited and the amulet he wore, Deng Rumeng would have killed him a long time ago.

“Taoist Nun, you have to save us!”

Seeing Deng Rumeng’s body becoming more and more transparent, Lu Sheng became alert.

She hurriedly took out a small, red paper umbrella from the space bracelet and burnt it with a talisman.

“This…”

Seeing the red paper umbrella, Deng Rumeng looked at Lu Sheng with an inquiring gaze.

“This is for you. It can shield you from the sun. Take it.”

“Thank you, Taoist Nun!”

Deng Rumeng used the umbrella and left.

“Lady, what did you burn just now?”

A passer-by asked.

Lu Sheng squinted and smiled. “Nothing.”

When she came across a big noodle-selling shop, Lu Sheng went in. She felt a little famished, so she asked for a bowl of noodles with meat.

When she took her seat, she heard the next table discussing Deng Mansion’s demise.

“The county magistrate said that Ah Ming is the murderer, but Magistrate Chu doesn’t agree. According to him, the murderer is someone else.”

“Although Magistrate Chu has never made a mistake in his judgment, I can’t help but feel he’s wrong this time. The Patriarch of the Deng family was a kind person, and he never had any grudges with others. Besides this Ah Ming, who else can be the murderer?”

“That’s right. Everyone witnessed this man being chased out of the house. If it were me, I would also harbor grudges.”

“Even a saint will make mistakes. Magistrate Chu has been involved in so many cases. It’s not possible that he makes the right judgment in every case.”

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows.

Is this ‘Magistrate Chu’ the same old man who wanted to marry the original Lu Sheng?

He has returned to Huang Yang Town?

Does he still want to marry me?

Should I find Chu Sihan and get his help in persuading the old man to think otherwise?

However, the old man’s judgment is good. He realized the murderer was someone else.

Regardless, this can’t hide the fact that he’s an old man.

“The trial has started! The trial has started!”

As Lu Sheng walked out of the noodle shop with a content expression, she saw someone run past her and scream.

“Sir, what case is this?”

She quickly stopped the man and asked.

The man initially wanted to struggle out of her grip, but seeing her face, his face reddened. He scratched his head and said, “The Deng Family’s murder case.”
