MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 628 God's will is inevitable

The road to the government office was extremely difficult. It was raining heavily. 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 she had to be taken to the government in such a difficult weather. 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 serious.

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

Kneeling down 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 quickly flashed across her heart, and then she quickly lowered her head, her shoulders shaking 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 Renfu just now, but you went outside?”

 “I went to Mr. Cui’s house.”

"Why? Since you are a young lady from Ren's house, it's raining so heavily. Instead of staying at your own home, you want to 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 is nothing wrong with these words. The prefect could not fault her at first, but today they came 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 and let you all see it? And you are so loyal, if I kill your lady , won’t you keep holding me back and report to the official immediately?”

The maid's eyes dodge.

“This slave was too frightened at the time to react. When I tried to catch you, the bridge had broken and the eldest lady ran away.”

She cried and said to the prefect: "When our wife heard the news, she passed out from grief and has not 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. It didn't look like a wall, but like a tall screen.

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

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

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

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

 “Where is the body?”

 “What?” The prefect did not respond.

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

 The magistrate paused and immediately looked at the maid. The maid hesitated and said: "That... person was washed away by the water. Miss, aren't you cheating? You want 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 have one!"

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 family 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 her!"

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 are the one who refused to save me. You are so brave. You saw her fall into the water and watched her being killed." The water washes away.”

 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 her 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 was with the young lady, looking for an opportunity to kill her, but...but I didn't really do it, I was just too scared, so I didn't pull her up."

 So it turns out that 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 prefect 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 is possible to say that you hurt someone because of a grudge.”

 This is to force a condemnation.

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 would hurt me."

"Okay, I can see clearly that your Excellency is not here to try the case at all. You asked me to come here to force you to accuse me."

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 hurried voice at the door.

 “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 it, her face turned deathly pale, and her body collapsed on the ground.

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