Chapter 12 Before and After the Murder Case

Yu Qingfeng used to be a freelancer and had never clocked in to work after graduating from university. Now she has become a civil servant without a formal establishment, which is a bit flattering.

No, to be precise, she is just a support staff member, a cleaning lady who sweeps and mops the floors of the courthouse.

But according to the conventions of martial arts movies, the sweeping monk is the ultimate master.

Yu Qingfeng is confident that as long as she is given a chance, sooner or later she will create a halo based on her own ability and earn herself a position.

Of course, she has to do both, otherwise she will easily block the swords and guns for the protagonist and become cannon fodder for the supporting role. Only by becoming the official partner of the male protagonist and having a dazzling aura can she survive to the end.

On the third day after taking office, Yu Qingfeng went on a business trip to Duanzhou with her leader.

According to Pei Wuyan's wishes, he could not make a big splash when traveling on business and had to keep a low profile, so he had to disguise himself as a businessman during the trip, and the ten accompanying guards had to disguise themselves as servants.

Yu Qingfeng plays her true character, as the young master's personal maid.

Yu Qingfeng had done enough preparations before the business trip. She was already familiar with all the information on the Yang family murder case in Duanzhou.

The cause of the massacre was that Yang Zhi raped Liang Xiaohua, a civilian girl.

Yang Zhi is the county hegemon of Qianying County, Duanzhou. He is 28 years old. His family runs a small winery and he is the young owner of the winery.

Yang Zhi's parents are responsible for making wine, and Yang Zhi is responsible for selling wine. He is considered the sales manager of the wine shop.

There is a watershed in Yang Zhi's domineering behavior. Before the watershed, he did not dare to be blatantly domineering; after the watershed, he was fearless and unscrupulous.

The watershed was a year ago when Yang Zhi's half-sister Yang Siwan married Sun Zhenping, the eldest son of the magistrate of Qianying County. The Yang family became the in-laws of the magistrate.

After this, all the taverns and inns in Qianying County were forced to become customers of Yangjia Liquor House.

With so many customers, how can a small workshop supported by its own family supply goods normally?

Just add water.

Not to mention the small Qianying County, Yangjia Winery can monopolize the world by relying on the water mixing method.

But due to the marriage relationship between the Yang family and the county magistrate, all the bosses who had been cheated dared not speak out.

The son of a dignified county magistrate is still the eldest son, and he is not in the same family as the concubine of a small wine shop.

The fact that these two people are in love is already outrageous. If the magistrate can still agree to this marriage, then it is outrageous for his mother to open the door to outrageous people. It is extremely outrageous.

Of course, such private matters will not be written down in the case report. Yu Qingfeng's heart for gossip is ready to stir up. This couple is not the protagonist, but is just a person related to the unit case. Unless necessary, such a setting will not be arranged.

In a word, it must be related to the case.

When they arrived in Qianying County, Yu Qingfeng had to do some research.

In addition to being hated by the tavern owner, Yang Zhi is also a nightmare for women in the county and even Duanzhou.

This pervert obviously already has a wife, a concubine, a son and a daughter at home, but it doesn't stop him from molesting or even raping women outside at all.

Yang Zhi is like a scourge. As soon as Yang Zhi goes out, all the women on the street will run away after receiving the news.

The two men in Yang Zhi's family also took care of him, and the result was a severe beating. Over time, they got used to it, stopped "meddling in other people's business", and concentrated on making wine and taking care of the affairs of the winery.

Liang Xiaohua is the daughter of hunter Liang Lei. She is 17 years old. She lives with Liang Lei on the edge of Qianying County, at the foot of Canglian Mountain, so that Liang Lei can go up to the mountain for hunting.

One month ago, Liang Xiaohua went to the county to sell game meat and furs that Liang Lei had hunted. Unluckily enough, she bumped into Yang Zhi.

From then on, Yang Zhi was entangled endlessly.

There were also brave men who came forward to help Liang Xiaohua fight against Yang Zhi, but the result was that the brave man was beaten up by Yang Zhi and his servants in public, and Liang Xiaohua was insulted by Yang Zhi in public.

Twenty days ago, Yang Zhi took advantage of Liang Lei's absence and went to Liang Xiaohua's house at the foot of the mountain and committed animal crimes against Liang Xiaohua.

Two days later, Liang Xiaohua jumped to the next level and filed a complaint. She went directly to the Duanzhou magistrate's office with her complaint and beat the drum to complain.

The price for making a complaint beyond the level is to be slapped in the face. After being humiliated in the street, the victim Liang Xiaohua was beaten ten times while lying on a bench in the hall of the magistrate's yamen, surrounded by onlookers.

The reason why she had to file a complaint beyond the level was because she wanted to file a complaint against a relative of the magistrate's family.

Liang Xiaohua expected that the county magistrate would bend the law for personal gain, otherwise he would not tolerate Yang Zhi and support his adultery.

However, the facts were cruel, and the officials protected each other. On the surface, the prefect said that he wanted to investigate clearly, but in fact, it only took half a day to reach a conclusion.

Liang Xiaohua had no evidence to prove that Yang Zhi had raped her. The government officials went to the street in Qianying County to find vendors selling goods along the street, but no one came forward to prove that Yang Zhi had molested Liang Xiaohua in public.

On the contrary, Yang Zhi easily found several witnesses to prove that Liang Xiaohua failed to seduce her, so he defeated her.

Because of the false accusation, Liang Xiaohua was beaten twenty times more, and she fainted from the pain. Liang Lei hired a car to take her home.

The penalty of twenty days is also intriguing. If it is really a false accusation, or if the accusation is falsely reported to the county magistrate's in-laws, then the punishment will definitely be more than that.

In other words, the prefect actually knows the truth. The twenty big boards are a reflection of the only compassion he, the prefect, has for the victims.

Extremely ironic!

Another day later, it was the first day of September. Liang Xiaohua secretly climbed Canglian Mountain with her injured body, went to the Fox Cave where the legendary fox fairy haunted, and begged the fox fairy to avenge her.

The legend of the fox fairy in Canglian Mountain has been circulating in Qianying County for about a year.

The reason why it is called Fox Fairy rather than Fox Demon is because people say that this fox who has become a spirit is not an evil demon, but a good demon who can help those who pray to fulfill their wishes.

Yu Qingfeng felt the same for Liang Xiaohua and almost cried when she saw this.

A female victim has no way to seek recourse, and cannot seek justice for herself through normal channels, so that the bad guys can be brought to justice. How desperate she must be to place her hope in the so-called fox fairy in the legend.

Around midnight on the second day of September, the neighbor heard a noise coming from the Yang family's house. However, the neighbor did not dare to go to check, and waited until dawn before going together.

At that time, the Yang family was already a river of blood. Sixteen members of the family, including Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi's parents, Yang Zhi's wife, concubines, children, Yang's parents, workers and servants, all died under the sickle.

Among them, Yang Zhi's death was the most tragic, as he was almost chopped to death with a sickle.

The most regrettable thing is that Yang Zhi's two children, aged 8 and 6, were not spared.

A lot of red fox fur was left at the scene, and someone witnessed Liang Xiaohua dragging her injured body up the mountain with her own eyes. For a time, the fox fairy avenged Liang Xiaohua, and rumors spread like wildfire that she had wiped out the entire Yang family.

Detectives from the county magistrate's office immediately arrived at Yang's house to investigate.

Yang Siwan, the married daughter of the Yang family and Yang Zhi's half-sister, fainted on the spot and became bedridden after learning that her natal family was exterminated.

The case alarmed the Duanzhou magistrate. Since Liang Xiaohua had gone to the Duanzhou magistrate's office to sue Yang Zhi, and now that the Yang family was wiped out and was inseparable from Liang Xiaohua, the case was naturally handed over to the prefect for investigation.

Detectives from the magistrate's office also came to investigate the scene and came to the same conclusion as the magistrate:

The murderer was a man who was good at using a sickle, tall and ruthless. He killed sixteen people in one breath, even innocent children, which shows his hatred for the Yang family.

Who has this ability, possesses this characteristic, and hates the Yang family so much?

Naturally, it cannot be those tavern owners who are forced to spend money to buy watered down wine. They have endured it for a year and are already used to it. They do not dare to openly oppose the magistrate.

Then the only suspect is Orion Liang Lei.

The prefect immediately ordered someone to search Liang Lei's house, and sure enough they found the murder weapon, a sickle, and blood-stained clothes. In Liang Lei's slaughterhouse, there was also a piece of red fox skin that had just been peeled off.

In this case, who else could the murderer be than Liang Lei?

Liang Xiaohua testified for Liang Lei. On the night of the incident, Liang Lei was always at home and never went out.

As for the sickle, it was indeed Liang Lei's sickle, and the clothes were also Liang Lei's clothes. However, Liang Lei had never used a sickle in the past few days, and he had never seen red fox fur in those clothes.

These testimonies of Liang Xiaohua were regarded as cover-up by the magistrate. The master Fang decisively ordered Liang Lei to be taken into custody and rewarded Liang Xiaohua with 20 big slabs for the crime of cover-up.

Poor Liang Xiaohua, thanks to the prefect Fang, she received a total of fifty big boards.

Just one day later, Liang Lei, who had been tortured, signed a confession and was sentenced to execution that night.

Mr. Fang ordered that the case be closed. No one is allowed to make any further rumors. Anyone who continues to spread rumors that the Fox Fairy killed someone is an accomplice of Liang Lei who tried to cover up his crimes in the name of the Fox Fairy and will be executed!
