Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

The road to the government office was extremely difficult, with heavy rain pouring down, and there were many people's belongings in the water flowing out of the rainwater.

The officers and soldiers stared at Shen Ningning, fearing that she would run away.

Shen Ningning saw clearly in her heart that in such a difficult weather, she had to be taken to the government. The so-called investigation was just a cover, and the real intention was to control her.

When we arrived at the government office, the officers and soldiers here all held sharp weapons and looked solemn.

The prefect sitting in the high hall was a man over fifty, with gloomy eyes that looked very unkind.

Kneeling in the hall was a maid who was soaked all over. She heard the footsteps behind her and turned around to see it was Shen Ningning. Her eyes flashed across her heart quickly, and then she quickly lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Shen Ningning glanced at her and took in all these details.

The prefect spoke seriously: "Are you the eldest lady of the Ren family, Ren Liuyue?"

Shen Ningning raised her eyebrows slightly: "Yes."

"You were not in Ren Mansion just now, but you went outside?"

"I went to Mr. Cui's home."

"Why? Since you are a young lady from the Ren Mansion, it is raining so heavily. Instead of staying at your own home, you will go to someone else's home."

"Because Ren Mansion is in a low-lying area and the rainwater flows back, I felt unsafe, so I went to my husband's friend's house to take shelter from the rain."

There was nothing wrong with her words. The prefect could not fault her at first, but today they came here just for her.

The prefect suddenly slapped the alarm: "Nonsense! We have found out that you are not at home because you followed Miss Ren Er out and took advantage of the rain to push her into the fast river. Ren Er The young lady’s maid will witness it with her own eyes.”

The maid next to her burst into tears at the right time: "Miss, although our lady and you are not born from the same mother, we are still relatives connected by blood. Why are you so cruel?"

"Your Majesty, the magistrate Mingjian, our carriage was blocked on the bridge, so the young lady asked the servant to help her leave on foot. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got off the carriage, she saw the eldest lady rushing over and pushing the second young lady under the bridge. In the blink of an eye, she was gone. It’s gone!”

Shen Ningning snorted coldly: "What a joke, I'm following you? If I really wanted to murder Ren Er, why would I use such a stupid method for you all to see? And you are so loyal, if I kill your young lady, you Aren’t you going to keep holding on to me and report it to the official immediately?”

The maid's eyes dodge.

"My servant was so frightened that I didn't react. When I tried to catch you, the bridge had broken and the young lady escaped."

She cried and said to the prefect: "Our wife fainted from grief when she heard the news, and she hasn't woken up yet. Sir, you must make the decision for our second young lady who died in vain!"

Shen Ningning stared at the magistrate and saw that the lines on the wall behind him seemed to be embroidered on it. It didn't look like a wall, but more like a tall screen.

The girl frowned slightly and felt quietly, as if there was someone staring at her behind the screen.

The prefect has decided on Shen Ningning's punishment at this time.

"Come here, punish this vicious Miss Ren with twenty sticks and put her in a cell. When the prefect has time, I will discuss countermeasures with him in detail."

Shen Ningning looked away, her cold eyes falling on the magistrate.

"Where's the body?"

"What?" The prefect didn't respond.

"Since you categorically say that Ren Er is dead and I am the murderer, then fine, I want to see the body."

The magistrate paused and immediately looked at the maid.

The maid hesitated and said: "That... people were washed away by the water. Miss, aren't you cheating? Are you planning to die without proof?"

Shen Ningning sneered: "How do I know that she is really dead? After all, I haven't seen her since yesterday, and I even said that you secretly killed her!"

The maid's face suddenly turned pale, and she felt guilty in her eyes. She waved her hands repeatedly: "I don't!"

Shen Ningning saw the clues that the maid might really know something.

She pressed forward step by step: "You didn't? Your lady was washed away by the water. Why did you immediately tell the Ren Mansion that she was dead instead of calling on the servants to go downstream and search for her?"

The maid sat on her knees on the ground, her eyes filled with fear.

Shen Ningning: "Mrs. Ren fainted because she was too sad. Just because you, a maid, came to report to the official, you want to force me to confess? I even said you were the one who killed me!"

The maid was completely panicked: "I didn't kill her! I just didn't pull her up, I, I..."

The prefect closed his eyes, tightened his mouth, and cursed this idiot in his heart!

Shen Ningning crossed her arms, her eyes revealed, and sneered: "You are finally willing to tell the truth. It turns out that you refused to save her. You are so brave. You saw her fall into the water and watched her being washed away by the water." Walk."

She pointed directly at the maid: "You are the murderer who killed Ren Er!"

The maid covered her face and cried: "She hit me first. I didn't want to save him until I died. She was too harsh. I just... I only agreed to my uncle's request because I was in love with him. I stayed with the young lady and looked for opportunities to kill her, but...but I didn't really do it, I was just too scared to pull her up."

So this matter has something to do with Zhao Lei?

After Shen Ningning figured it out, she immediately said to the prefect who was sitting in the hall with a gloomy face: "Sir, the matter is now clear."

"Ren Er's husband, Zhao Lei, committed adultery with his maid and instigated the maid to find an opportunity to kill Ren Er. The maid harbored evil intentions and succeeded today. She was afraid that she would be implicated, so she wanted to smear the crime on me."

The magistrate narrowed his eyes: "Of course what the maid said is true, but does this matter really have nothing to do with you?"

"I heard that you and Miss Ren had a quarrel over a piece of golden silk in the Guangxiu Building, and they were very unhappy!"

"It's possible that you hurt someone because you hold a grudge."

This is to force a conviction.

Shen Ningning was not afraid, and her eyes were magnanimous: "I really admire your master's ability to confuse right and wrong. It was Ren Er who didn't rob me. Even if she wanted to hurt someone, she was the one who hurt me."

"Okay, I can see clearly that your Excellency is not here to try the case at all. He called me here just to forcibly accuse you."

The prefect refused to admit it and insisted: "Miss Ren's death has absolutely nothing to do with you! No matter how bright your tongue is, you can't even think of leaving the government today. If someone comes, lock her up immediately."

Suddenly there was a rushing sound at the door.

"It can't be locked up! She is not a murderer!"

Shen Ningning turned around and was stunned when she saw the person coming.

When the maid saw this, her face turned deathly pale, and her body collapsed on the ground.

Behind the magistrate, the people sitting on the screen saw it, sighed softly, and murmured to themselves: "Is it really God's will that cannot be violated?"
