The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Now, Pei Qin’s identity had changed. Even though Magistrate Huang knew she was not to be trifled with, he still insisted on falsely accusing her of plotting against him, digging his own grave!

Meng Dinglun hurried over, seizing Magistrate Huang along with his concubine, servant concubine Shu Hua, Ding Dalang, the physician, and all persons involved in the case, bringing them to the County Government Office. They requested the presence of Pei Qin and Mo Heng.

An intense power struggle between Pei Qin, the newly risen Madam Yuanyang, and the County Magistrate, which also implicated a loss of life, had the entire Yuanyang County on edge. The County Government Office was surrounded by crowds, packed three layers deep both inside and outside.

Magistrate Huang adamantly denied masterminding the false accusation against Pei Qin and the murder of Master Ding.

As for how Master Ding died and who killed him, he claimed complete ignorance.

Mo Heng cast a glance at Feng Wei.

The person brought in was the one who had gone to kill Master Ding, now in Feng Wei’s custody, having confessed everything, "I was just following the money; the one you should be looking for is Magistrate Huang! He is the mastermind!"
