My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

In any case, it was all kinds of hard work. For more than 20 years, he trembled in fear and trepidation until he reached the state magistrate of Tongzhou. His ultimate goal was to enter the capital and become an official. He had no thoughts of entering the cabinet and so on. He just wanted to stay in the officialdom for a few more years and let fatty Wang improve. As the Father, he could not bring glory to the family, so he placed his hopes on his son.

What he meant was,”I’ve made you suffer, and you’re starting off much better than I was back then. But you still don’t want to improve. Who are you trying to anger to death?”

In the past, Wang Tai had always been a person of few words. He did not care much about where his father’s first official position was. Now that he heard Lu Zheng mention about Fuzhou, he remembered the words that his father had scolded him with.

At first, he thought that this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should have nothing to do with his family’s death. One was stupid, and the other was just an ordinary village woman.

However, after Lu Zheng asked, fatty Wang started to have his suspicions.

He did not doubt Lu Zheng’s words. Anything that Lu Zheng could say had basically been verified. He would not say anything that he was not confident about or had not been fully investigated.

Zhang Liushi was completely stunned.

Even the people in the village did not know where her ancestral home was, so how did this general Lu know?

And the fact that she knew how to make incense.

Everyone in the village knew about her cooking skills, but no one knew about incense-making.

Her widowed mother took care of her eldest son and later picked up a silly daughter-in-law.

One of them was sick, and the other was a fool. Many people in the village thought that their family was unlucky and did not like to enter their house. She did not like to bring people home, so no one knew.

Her son needed to take his medicine, and the daughter-in-law she picked up had a big appetite. She still had to leave some money for these two children. She had to think of ways to earn money. She knew that she should not show her money, but she had not shown her cooking skills at all.

When she sold the incense, she gave it to someone her husband knew before he died, someone he was very familiar with and trusted. That person pitied the widow and her child, so he helped her hide the truth and also helped her sell the things.

In the end, this general Lu, whom she had never met before, actually knew.

With her current expression, what else did the people present not understand?

However, no one could link this case to the woman in front of them. This woman obviously didn’t have any martial arts. It was absolutely impossible for her to enter the temple in the middle of the night, create such a strange murder case, and escape unscathed.

“So, Zhang Liushi, who is your accomplice?” Lu Zheng asked.

“General Lu, what are you talking about? This commoner did not understand. Even if I know how to make incense, you can’t call me a murderer! General Lu and Princess Xinxin aren’t people who accuse others as they please in the hearts of the people.” Zhang Liushi calmed down and refused to admit it.

“Then let me ask you. More than twenty years ago, when Lord Wang first took office in Cong province, he was captured by bandits. Later, Madam Wang led a group of officers to the mountain stronghold and saved Lord Wang and a village girl. Was that village girl you?” Lu Zheng asked again.

“I’m from Cong Zhou. I was once captured by the bandits and brought to the stronghold. Thanks to the county Magistrate, I was saved. However, I had no idea that the Prefectural magistrate of Tongzhou province, Lord Wang, was the former magistrate, Lord Wang.” Zhang Liushi said.
