At midnight, the Lin Mansion was brightly lit, with fifty candles shining brightly on the pedestals on the wall.

Mrs. Zhou was sitting in the middle, looking very haggard from what she had experienced in the past few days.

Lin Yuan, Zhou Zhushan and others were all present.

Mrs. Zhou was the first to speak: "I wonder why Mr. He came here late at night?"

He Ruda stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This county is here to see Mr. Liu Mo and Mr. Liu!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was extremely dissatisfied.

It was an open secret in Linyang City that Liu Mo disappeared on his wedding day. The Lin family suffered a lot of ridicule for this.

Your parents came here in the middle of the night to ask such a question...

"Master He, don't bully others too much." Lin Yuan said angrily. "That brat ran away!"

"Oh? It seems that the rumors are true!" He Ruda pretended to be confused. "Half an hour ago, an official from this county came to report that a young man's body was found in the Emperor Temple in the northwest of the city. His body was similar to that of Liu Mo.

It matches.”

"What? He's dead?" The old lady was shocked, and a tear couldn't help but flow out. She didn't want to believe that Liu Mo would do such a thing as running away from the marriage.

He Ruda nodded, "Old lady, please forgive me."

"My condolences? A liar who escaped from marriage is not from my Lin family. What is there to express my condolences to?" Zhou Zhushan said, "Auntie, you don't have to shed tears for such a villain."

"Oh? When did Mr. Zhou become a member of the Lin family?" Zhao Da said angrily.

"The old lady is my aunt, so naturally we are part of the same family." When Zhou Zhushan heard that Liu Mo was dead, his heart dropped.

Thinking that Lin Shiqi is already a duck in the mouth, and the Lin family's property will be in his pocket in the future, he is very proud.

"This is strange." He Ru laughed, "Master Zhou kept saying that Liu Mo escaped from marriage. If he escaped from marriage, why did he die in the Emperor's Temple in the northwest of the city?"

"How do I know this?"

"Then where did Mr. Zhou get the news that he escaped from marriage?"

Zhou Zhushan frowned, "My men saw him leaving the city overnight!"

"Which subordinate?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"I am the magistrate of Linyang County. Within my jurisdiction, someone disappeared for no reason, and later someone died in the Guandi Temple in the west of the city for no apparent reason. How could it have nothing to do with me!" He Ruda raised his voice.

"I suspect that Liu Mo is one of the people here and hired someone to murder him!"

"Then if Master He doesn't solve the case, why do you come to Lin Mansion?"

Zhou Zhushan made up his mind, since he is dead anyway, and there is no evidence of his death, why can't you do anything to me?

He Ruda snorted coldly, "It seems that Mr. Zhou will not admit it without some evidence."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Several officials escorted two big men in black to the hall.

"Mr. Zhou, do you recognize these two people?"

When Zhou Zhushan saw the two people, a chill ran down his spine.

These two people were none other than the men he sent to assassinate Liu Mo.

He Ruda just said clearly that Liu Mo was dead, how could these two people be caught by the county magistrate again?

"I don't recognize it!" Although he didn't know what happened, Zhou Zhushan chose to deny it to the end.

He Ruda expected that Zhou Zhushan would be like this, but he didn't panic.

"In this case, the county has no choice but to invite another witness."

After finishing speaking, four officials were seen carrying a coffin and placing it on the hall.

"Master He, what do you mean, you brought a coffin to our Lin Mansion?" Lin Yuan stomped his feet in anger.

"Please be patient outside, Lin." He Ru laughed and said, "Open the coffin and let Mr. Zhou take a good look at what's inside."

The officer obeyed the order, and with a loud bang, the coffin was opened.

The old lady stood up subconsciously and looked inside.

The next second, she kept shaking her head, with sadness on her face.

"Have you seen it, old lady? Mr. Liu actually had stab wounds on his body. It doesn't look like a normal death!" He Rudao said, "Escaped from marriage? But he didn't escape from Linyang and was hacked to death in Beidi Temple. This is...

Amazing!"

"He must have been harmed by a gangster. Master He, you must find out the real culprit and seek justice for him!" the old lady choked.

The grief made her tremble all over, unsteady on her feet, and almost fell down.

"This is natural," said He Ru Daodao, "help the old lady go down and have a rest."

After seeing the old lady off, He Ruda turned to look at Zhou Zhushan, "Mr. Zhou, is Liu Mo running away from his marriage?"

Zhou Zhushan's face turned livid, "Maybe my men saw it wrong, so what?"

"You made this groundless theory, but it spread throughout the Lin Mansion overnight. What's your intention?"

"So what, can it trigger the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"Well, Zhou Zhushan, you have such a tough mouth." He Ru said angrily, "If you hadn't instigated people to harm Liu Mo, then you would have dared to give him three sticks of incense and then touch Liu Mo's body to inflict poison.

oath?"

"Touch a corpse and swear poison?"

"That's right!" He Rudao said, "According to legend, if a murderer touches the body of the deceased and the spirit of the deceased is still lingering, he will definitely deceive the corpse and claim his life. Mr. Zhou, do you dare or not?"

When Zhou Zhushan heard this, he trembled all over and was speechless for a long time.

"Do you dare or not?" Zhao Da also stood up and shouted loudly.

"Why don't you dare!" Zhou Zhushan pretended to be calm, but even he could hear the fear in his voice.

He shakily placed three sticks of incense on the ground, and then walked to Liu Mo's "corpse".

"Reach over, reach out!" Zhao Da said angrily.

Zhou Zhushan was so frightened that he almost fell down.

He stretched out his hand nervously, but retracted it on the way.

Zhao Da took a step forward, grabbed Zhou Zhushan's right hand, and put it on Liu Mo.

"Swear!" Zhao Da shouted again.

Zhushan couldn't speak this week. He only felt that his legs were weak and he was sweating profusely.

At this moment, Liu Mo in the coffin suddenly stood up and wailed horribly: "Give me back my life!"

Seeing this situation, "Ghost!" the Lin family members screamed and ran out of the hall like crazy.

Lin Yuan was so frightened that his face turned pale and he collapsed on the ground.

Not to mention Zhou Zhushan, he was so frightened that he could only stand upright only because Zhao Da held his right arm.

"Zhou Zhushan, if you don't want to be killed by Liu Mo's wronged soul, tell the truth quickly and this county will spare your life!"

"I...I...I..."

"Speak quickly!" Zhao Da shouted.

At this time, Zhou Zhushan's three souls were gone, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Mr. Liu, don't kill me, I know I was wrong!" He cried loudly, "I can only blame you for not getting enough oil and salt.

I have no choice but to join the Lin family."

"So you admit to hiring a murderer to kill someone?"

"Yes...yes!" Zhou Zhushan was a little incoherent, "I promise you, every festival in the future, I will burn more paper money with you!"

These words made Zhao Dadu couldn't help laughing.

"Zhou Zhushan, Zhou Zhushan, you actually said such words at this time."

"Brother Zhou, keep that paper money for yourself!"

Liu Mo, who was still pretending to be a dead man a second ago, burst into laughter.

"What? You're not dead?" Zhou Zhushan jumped up and down anxiously, "You damn Liu Mo, are you deceiving me?"
