Chapter 214 Clearing Suspicion

"Miss, there are yamen runners outside the door looking for you!"

A maid hurriedly opened the door, walked in, and said anxiously.

In the room.

A woman was sitting in front of the mirror.

Fair skin, beautiful face.

Every frown and smile gave people infinite reverie and charm.

Hearing the voice of the maid behind her, the woman turned around and shook her head and said: "You are always in such a hurry!"

After a pause, the woman said; "What's the matter?"

"I, I don't know, a few constables came to the yamen... said, they wanted to ask you to go to the yamen!"

The maid looked a little worried: "Miss, what should I do?"

Murong Die didn't react much. She was stunned for a moment, then slowly got up: "Don't worry, I'll go and see."

Said, got up and went out.

Outside the door, the madam, who was communicating with the yamen runners, saw her coming out and hurriedly walked up to her anxiously: "Die'er, what's going on? How did you get involved with the yamen? Why did the people from the yamen come to see you?"

The madam was very worried.

"Don't worry, mom!"

Murong Die gave her a reassuring look, and then looked at the two yamen runners in front of her: "Two big brothers, I wonder what you are doing here to see me?"

The two yamen runners glanced at Murong Die, their eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, and subconsciously shifted their gaze to other places.

They had long heard that the beauty of the Qingxianglou was amazing and beautiful.

Seeing her today, she was indeed extraordinary.

One of the yamen runners said: "Lord Xu asked me to invite Miss Murong to come. There is a murder case that is related to you, Miss Murong, and I want to invite you to come over."

"Murder case?!"

Hearing this news, the madam was immediately anxious.

How is it related to the murder case?

Murong Die is the golden signboard of her Qingxianglou. If the signboard is smashed, it will be over!

"Everyone, are you mistaken? My Die'er is a law-abiding person. How could she be involved in a murder case!"

The old procuress hurriedly said; "Have you investigated it clearly?"

"Don't worry, it's not Miss Murong who got involved in the murder case!"

Another yamen runner shook his head and looked at Murong Die.

Glancing at it, he subconsciously shifted his gaze: "Miss Murong, I wonder if you know someone... named Li Beifeng?"

"Li Beifeng?"

Hearing this name, Murong Die was slightly stunned.

Then he seemed to think of something and narrowed his eyes slightly: "What's wrong with him?"

"He is involved in a murder case and needs Miss Murong's cooperation. Please rest assured, Miss Murong, it won't affect you."

A strange look flashed in Murong Die's eyes, and then he nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll go with you."

"...

"Dad, you quickly find a way to save Li Beifeng! "

Shen Mansion.

Shen Qingning's face was full of worry.

Knowing that Li Beifeng went to the government office to surrender, Shen Qingning was very worried about his safety.

Mr. Shen glanced at his precious daughter and sighed deeply.

Sour.

Very sour!

He was so sour!

"Qingning..."

Mr. Shen was silent for a while before he said earnestly: "This time, I can't save him..."

"How can you not save him? Don't you know a lot of people? How can you not save him... Are you deliberately not going to save him?"

Mr. Shen was so angry that his teeth hurt a little.

"Qingning, how many times have I told you to stay away from that kid... That kid is full of troubles. If you get so close to him, you will easily get into trouble!"

Mr. Shen glanced at him: "You are not suitable!"

"How do you know it's not suitable?"

Shen Qingning pouted.

"Your status is not suitable... He is just a poor village doctor, you are different, you are my daughter, you are not from the same world! "

Mr. Shen said earnestly: "Qingning, listen to my advice, I won't hurt you!"

However, Shen Qingning couldn't listen to a word.

She looked at her own father with a little contempt: "You just hate the poor and love the rich... Why didn't you despise him at the beginning? You just started to get arrogant after you became rich, Dad, I despise you..."

Mr. Shen was speechless, and his old face suddenly turned red.

He did... mean that.

But being exposed by Shen Qingning, his old face still blushed a little.

But then, his face sank: "I'm doing this for your own good!"

"For my own good, you shouldn't embarrass me!"

Shen Qingning said angrily: "You should respect my choice!"

"That won't work!"

Mr. Shen refused without even thinking about it.

What's so good about that kid?

How can he be worthy of his daughter?

Mr. Shen firmly disagreed.

"Hmph, I won't tell you so much. You should think of a way to save him! "Shen Qingning was worried about Li Beifeng's safety at this time.

"Can't save him!"

"Will you save him? If you don't, I will also turn myself in to the government office!"

Mr. Shen was angry. His daughter... was too irritating!

She actually threatened him?

How could this be?

"I can't save him!"

Mr. Shen said unhappily: "This time, he turned himself in... He wanted to die, I can't help him!"

"He didn't kill anyone, why can't you save him!"

Shen Qingning didn't believe it at all.

"You are still young, you don't understand!"

Mr. Shen shook his head.

Of course, he knew the complexity of this.

Li Beifeng offended Zhou Zhongzheng, the son of the Zhou family.

The status of the Zhou family in the county city is self-evident.

Even Mr. Shen had to give the Zhou family some face in the county city.

He was able to quickly gain a foothold in Chaoyang County in the past, and he also had some friendship with the Zhou family.

Therefore, he certainly knew how terrifying the Zhou family was.

The Zhou family had been operating in Chaoyang County for decades, and the family assets passed down for three generations were unfathomable.

Even the governor who was said to be from the capital and had a good background did not get any advantage in front of the Zhou family, let alone Li Beifeng...

In Mr. Shen's eyes, Li Beifeng's attempt to fight the Zhou family was simply courting death.

How could he be so careless as to dare to make enemies with the Zhou family?

"Humph, you just don't want to save!"

Shen Qingning didn't think so much. She knew that her father had great power and could even invite the governor.

If he really wanted to save Li Beifeng, it would be easy.

He was making excuses because he didn't want to save her.

"If you don't want to save her, I'll find a way myself!"

Mr. Shen didn't waste any words, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Hey, you..."

Watching Shen Qingning leave, Mr. Shen sighed deeply.

What a sin!

It was really a sin.

"Someone come!"

After sighing, Mr. Shen called out.

A figure walked in from outside the door and bowed, "Master, what do you want?"

"Go follow the young lady and watch her, don't let her do anything stupid!"

Mr. Shen paused for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Also, tell someone to investigate something."

...

Yamen.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the yamen was a little weird.

The Lord Xu in the hall had a slightly low look in his eyes, and from time to time he looked at Li Beifeng in the audience, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.

He knew very well what the purpose of today was.

The man in front of him was the target of Mr. Zhou.

He was the person Mr. Zhou had named to deal with.

Whether he was the murderer or not, he must be.

However...

What he didn't expect was that the man in front of him was so slick that he had no idea where to start.

If it was someone else, he only needed to intimidate him a little. If the other party didn't admit it, he would torture him again to ensure that he would be honest and honest. If he didn't admit it, he would confess and sign.

After all, the evidence was already in front of him, with witnesses and evidence.

But the man in front of him didn't play by the rules at all, disrupting his plan.

The situation in the county city was grim at the moment, and Lord Xu didn't dare to mess around.

However, Lord Xu seemed to think of something, and a sneer appeared on his face.

This kid was indeed very smart and had some skills.

But he was still misled by his cleverness.

He shouldn't have said that he stayed with Miss Murong Die from Qingxiang Tower the night before yesterday.

Who would believe this...?

Murong Die is a famous courtesan in Qingxianglou, with a great reputation.

Many dignitaries want to see her but don't have the chance.

On weekdays, even Xu Yi himself finds it difficult to see her.

Just him?

Just this boy?

Want to stay with Miss Murong?

It's nonsense!

When have you ever heard of Miss Murong staying in the same room with a strange man?

...

Just as Lord Xu was thinking about how to solve this matter so quickly, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Then, a yamen runner walked into the yamen quickly.

"Sir, Miss Murong is here!"

Lord Xu was shocked and straightened his clothes: "Please invite Miss Murong in!"

Soon, a figure stepped into the hall.

"My little girl Murong Die greets you!"

A beautiful voice like a silver bell came to his ears.

Li Beifeng turned around and saw Murong Die, dressed in a gorgeous dress, appearing in his sight.

The red dress is bright, the long hair is fluttering, and the temperament is outstanding.

I have to say that this woman is really charming.

At this moment, many people in the hall were stunned for a while.

Even Xu Yi was a little absent-minded.

Then he quickly reacted and coughed: "Miss Murong, do you know this person?"

Murong Die slowly raised her head, and when her eyes fell on Li Beifeng beside her, her eyes seemed to be flickering with something.

It was like a smile, and there was a bit of playfulness in her eyes.

"Reply to the adults, my daughter... knows him!"

Xu Yi, who was originally full of pride, had a slightly condensed expression on his face.

Know him?

They actually know each other?

He had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Miss Murong, where were you around midnight the night before yesterday?"

Murong Die thought for a moment and said: "Sir, I was in Qingxiang Tower at that time and did not go out!"

Xu Yi's eyes condensed: "Who was she with?"

Murong Die thought for a while: "Sir... do you have to tell me?"

"This matter is of great importance, please be sure to tell me!"

Xu Yi spoke.

If it were an ordinary person, Xu Yi would definitely not be so polite.

But the woman in front of him is different.

She is the oiran of Qingxiang Tower, and her status is not ordinary.

Although she is just a brothel girl, she can't cover up... her fame is too great.

I don't know how many dignitaries love her, and because of this, her status has risen.

Even Xu Yi didn't dare to offend casually.

Murong Die hesitated for a moment, glanced at Li Beifeng again, and slowly said: "My daughter was with Mr. Li the night before last..."

As soon as this was said, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Xu Yi's eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

This... How is this possible?

How could they be together?

"Are you serious?"

"My daughter dare not lie to you, sir. The night before last, my daughter was indeed with Mr. Li." Murong Die said slowly.

"What are you doing together?!"

As soon as Xu Yi asked, he regretted it a little.

This is really a bit stupid.

A single man and a single woman, staying together, or staying in Qingxiang Tower... What can they do?

Can they do something serious?

Sure enough, Murong Die's face seemed to flash with an unnatural look.

"Sir... This, do I need my daughter to joke?"

"No need!"

Xu Yi waved his hand, his face gloomy.

Things... are a bit tricky!

If Murong Die testifies for him, then... Li Beifeng cannot be convicted.

But...

If Li Beifeng cannot be convicted... How to explain to Mr. Zhou?

Xu Yi felt a headache!

He knew it was not good!

"Sir, you should have heard what Miss Murong said!"

At this time, Li Beifeng slowly said: "Sir, you should not think that I colluded with Miss Murong, right?"

Xu Yi's face was gloomy, of course he would not think so.

Murong Die's identity is not ordinary, so there is no need to lie.

But...

Doesn't that mean that Li Beifeng is not the murderer?

At the same time, Li Beifeng slowly turned around and looked at Ergou, who had been silent beside him, with a sneer on his face: "Who were you just now? Did you see me appear in the west of the city at midnight the night before yesterday?"

At this time, Ergou already felt something was wrong, and his face was a little panicked.

"I, I..."

He gritted his teeth: "No, that's right!"

"Miss Murong said that I stayed with her the night before yesterday... So, do you think Miss Murong is lying?" Li Beifeng sneered.

"I, I didn't..."

"You might as well tell the truth!"

Li Beifeng's voice suddenly rose several degrees, and Ergou, who was originally panicking, was shocked.

"Who on earth ordered you to slander me?!"

Li Beifeng's slightly cold voice and the murderous tone in his tone made Ergou completely confused.

Subconsciously speaking: "Yes, yes..."

Then, he suddenly reacted and shook his head repeatedly: "No, it has nothing to do with me. Maybe, maybe I saw it wrong that day... It was too dark at night, I remembered it wrong..."

"Wrongly remembered?!"

Li Beifeng sneered and didn't continue to expose.

He turned around and looked at Xu Yi in the hall: "Sir, did you hear everything?"

Xu Yi had a gloomy face. He knew that it was almost impossible to convict this kid today!

But... we can't let this kid go!

Xu Yi quickly made a decision in his mind.

He had to ask Mr. Zhou for instructions on how to deal with him.

Therefore, Xu Yi quickly made a decision.

Just as he was about to speak, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

Then, a figure rushed in.
