Chapter 1902 Keep
The guards had all gone to the backyard to stop the women from fighting. At this moment, the prefect's study was sparsely populated, so they knocked out two guards and entered the study.
"Look for it."
Several secret guards searched the study carefully and found many letters, all of which were evidence of the prefect's collusion with outsiders. They put away the letters and left the prefect's mansion when they saw that there was nothing else.
The letter was handed to Chen Changli, and the two of them began to look through it. The more they read, the worse their expressions became.
"It's Prince Rong!" Wan Shufang exclaimed, shock in her eyes. She didn't expect that the prefect was colluding with Prince Rong to persecute loyal officials and oppress the people.
"It seems that we have to go and ask him!"
Chen Changli stood up and was about to go to the governor to question him, but suddenly he heard a shrill scream. The two looked at each other and their eyes gradually widened.
"It's Lingyin."
"Oh no, something happened to Lingyin, go check it out."
Wan Shufang ran out first. Seeing this, Chen Changli hurriedly followed. The two of them ran one after the other and arrived at Lingyin's yard almost at the same time.
At a glance, the two saw Lingyin sitting on the ground, dazed and terrified, as if she was frightened. In front of her, a corpse with a miserable death was lying on the ground.
"Lingyin, what happened?" Wan Shufang walked forward quickly. She did not look at the corpse, but hugged the frightened Lingyin and patted her back gently.
"She...she...is dead." Lingyin stretched out her finger, her whole body shaking uncontrollably, her tone full of fear and terror. Wan Shufang let go of her and followed her finger to look at the corpse on the ground.
The body was lying face down on the ground, so they couldn't see its identity clearly. Judging from the decoration, it was a woman. Her clothes were tattered, as if they had been torn apart by someone. Her lower body was covered in blood, it was a horrible sight.
Wan Shufang frowned. For some reason, her heart ached. She took off her outer robe and put it on Lingyin, then went to check the identity of the body.
As soon as the face turned over, Lingyin was speechless for a moment. She didn't even care about being afraid anymore. She rolled and crawled to her knees beside the corpse, her hands trembling: "Xiao... Xiaoqing."
"Xiaoqing, how could this happen? How could Xiaoqing die?"
Lingyin was so angry and sad that she seemed to have difficulty breathing. She gasped for breath and her tears fell like beads that had broken off the string.
Seeing that it was Xiaoqing, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were also stunned, and then they suddenly became angry: "Damn it, who is so cruel..."
"Shufang, calm down." Chen Changli squatted down and held Wan Shufang's hand. Xiaoqing had helped them a lot these days, and they had long regarded her as a friend.
Now seeing her become like this, Chen Changli was also very angry, but he could only hold on and ordered people to move Xiaoqing into the room.
In the room, Wan Shufang took out tools from the space and performed an autopsy on Xiaoqing. Lingyin was still crying, but she didn't dare to disturb her for fear of affecting Wan Shufang's judgment.
But when Wan Shufang took off Xiaoqing's clothes, revealing her skin under the tattered clothes, Lingyin could no longer hold back and cried until she trembled.
"These beasts." Wan Shufang cursed. Xiaoqing's body was covered with bruises and scars. Her lower body was a sight to behold. Moreover, according to the report, she had multiple people's stuff inside her...
Her limbs were also broken, and those beasts also carved words on her back. The handwriting was distorted at the beginning, but became smooth at the end.
"You're exposed!"
These few words seemed to reveal how ugly the faces of those thieves were when they bullied Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing was killed by the pain!
"Who on earth is it? Who on earth is so cruel to use such method to kill a powerless little girl?" Lingyin cried with every word. She knelt beside Xiaoqing, her eyes rolled back and she fainted from crying.
Wan Shufang supported Lingyin and carried her to the bed. She returned to Xiaoqing and looked at the lifeless girl. She thought of the day when she was full of energy and said she would get things done.
"I will never let these beasts go!" Wan Shufang roared, her eyes red and her heart filled with hatred. She wished she could cut these people into pieces and feed them to dogs.
She took a deep breath, carefully wiped Xiaoqing's body, put on beautiful clothes for her, and sat beside her until dark, until Lingyin woke up and did the same as her.
But no matter how sad they were, they had to accept the reality that Xiaoqing was dead.
Several people buried Xiaoqing properly and swore an oath in front of her grave.
"Xiao Qing, don't worry, we will definitely avenge you and make those people pay the price."
"Here is your favorite pear tree. You will be happy if you are buried under it."
When the breeze blew, petals dropped from the big pear tree, as if Xiaoqing was greeting them. They only hoped that in her next life, she would be as safe and happy as the pear blossoms, without suffering.
Return to the yard.
Lingyin, who had been silent, suddenly fixed her eyes on a certain place. She pursed her lips, and when no one was paying attention, she pulled out Chen Changli's knife and rushed towards the woodshed.
"Ring tone!"
"Let her go. It's fine as long as the man isn't dead." Chen Changli shook his head at Wan Shufang. The two of them quickly chased after her. The door of the woodshed was wide open. They also witnessed with their own eyes that Lingyin stabbed the prefect in the lower body with a sword.
"Ahhh!"
The prefect squealed miserably like a pig, his lower body was bleeding profusely, his whole body was shaking, and his face was pale, but Lingyin continued, cutting his thing into pieces with one sword after another.
"You... stop..." The prefect could no longer speak. He collapsed on the ground, so weak that he seemed like he would die in the next second.
At this moment, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were watching outside, allowing Lingyin to vent her anger. It was not until they saw that the prefect could no longer hold on that Wan Shufang stepped forward and pulled Lingyin away.
Chen Changli stood in the woodshed, looking down at the man covered in blood like a dead dog, and said coldly: "Prince Rong is dead, your plan will never succeed, and your sincerity is just nonsense, it is ridiculous."
Hearing this, the governor ignored the pain. He did not believe that Prince Rong was dead and kept shaking his head: "It's impossible. You are lying to me. I don't believe it."
"I do not believe."
The prefect kept muttering to himself, but Chen Changli was too lazy to pay attention. At this time, the secret guard brought salt water to Chen Changli. Without hesitation, he poured a whole bucket of it on the prefect.
“Ah… Wuuuu…” The secret guard was quick and covered the prefect’s mouth with a rag the moment he was about to scream.
The prefect's whole body was convulsing and trembling, his eyes rolled back and he fainted from the pain.
"Give him a life-saving pill. The truth has not been fully revealed yet, so he can't die yet. But he doesn't have to let it go too easy on him. Just keep his damn life."
"Yes, master."
The secret guard took the order and watched Chen Changli leave before he took out a pill from his arms and fed it to the bloodstained and unconscious prefect.
