The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

The woman shook her head like a rattle and tremblingly denied: "I don't know, you recognized the wrong person? I have never seen you before, and I don't even have a daughter!"

Qu Xiaoyou opened her eyes wide and was completely stunned. Xia Younan and others were even more dumbfounded and incredulous.

They thought the old woman had a bad memory due to her age and had forgotten who Qu Xiaoyou was, but they never expected that she would say she had no daughter.

This...how is this possible?

Tao Fengzheng seemed to have expected this. He snorted coldly and said angrily, "I said there was no such thing as a girl being bullied. This woman just made up excuses to justify her disregard for human life."

"Well... maybe..." Xia Younan wanted to argue something.

Tao Feng interrupted her and asked her coldly: "Princess, the facts are in front of us. That so-called girl doesn't exist at all. Do you still want to speak for her?"

"I..." Xia Younan was speechless and looked at Qu Xiaoyou for confirmation, "Xiaoyou, what's going on? Did you find the wrong person?"

How could this happen? She had known Xiaoyou for more than a day or two, and she felt that although Xiaoyou had a bad temper, he was not someone who would kill innocent people!

Xiao You's chest was heaving violently. He suppressed his anger and glared at the woman and said, "I was kind enough to save your daughter from danger, but you turned your face against me. Do you have a heart?"

The woman's eyes flashed with guilt when she heard that. She didn't dare to look at her. She lowered her head and stammered, "No... I don't know you, so how can you ask me to admit something that is made up out of nothing?"

"You!" Qu Xiaoyou was furious and raised his hand to draw his sword.

Xia Younan quickly held her down, thought for a moment and asked the woman, "But someone threatened you to tell a lie? If you were forced to do it, just tell us and we will take care of it for you."

The woman glanced at Tao Fengzheng from the corner of her eyes, shrank a little, and lowered her head to deny it again, "No, no one is threatening me. We old couple only have one son, and we have never had a daughter. I have never seen this girl in red."

"You..." Qu Xiaoyou's eyes turned red with anger. Xia Younan grabbed her hand for fear that she would go berserk, and looked at Lu Xiuyuan for help.

Lu Xiuyuan obviously didn't expect things to turn out this way. He frowned and thought for a while, then ordered, "Younan, go check the room. If she really doesn't have a daughter, then there must be no daily necessities for a young girl in the room."

After saying that, he looked at Chan En again and said, "Little monk, go ask the neighbors. It's impossible that there are no clues at all for such a big thing."

"Okay!" The two of them went their separate ways and did as he said.

Tao Feng was standing there calmly, with his arms folded, looking confident, as if he was not afraid of their actions at all.

A moment later, Xia Younan came out of the house with a very ugly look on his face, "I checked carefully, there are no daily necessities of the girl in the house."

Zen En also ran back quickly, shook his head and sighed, "I ran almost all over the village, and they all said that this family doesn't have a daughter at all."

How could this happen? Lu Xiuyuan looked at Qu Xiaoyou in disbelief.

Qu Xiaoyou looked ashen. She never thought that she was wrong in saving people, but she could not tolerate being wrongly accused or being charged with such a false accusation.

At first, Chanmu believed what Qu Xiaoyou said, thinking that although she killed someone, it was justifiable because she was punishing evil and promoting good.

But now, everything she said was overturned. The girl she said she saved did not exist at all. In other words, she was simply killing innocent people indiscriminately!

Thinking of this, he became furious and stared at Qu Xiaoyou with a gloomy face, his eyes full of disappointment and anger.

Qu Xiaoyou's heart sank when he looked at her. She shook her head and asked in disbelief, "Why...why are you looking at me like that? Do you believe what he said? Do you think I'm killing innocent people?"

"Isn't it?" Chanmu said hurtfully, looking at her disappointedly and accusing her, "I guess I was wrong. If I had known that you were such a person who took human life lightly and told lies, I should not have allowed you to live in the temple.

"Now that it's like this, the reputation of my Jingyuan Temple will be ruined by you."

Qu Xiaoyou's eyes widened, and her head was buzzing with shock from his words.

I had thousands of words in my heart to explain and refute, but when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say a single word.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Younan couldn't bear it any longer and pushed Zenmu. "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, how can you say that about Xiaoyou? Do you know how much this hurts her?"

Zenmu clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and said calmly: "The facts are already in front of us, how can we find out?"

"You!" Xia Younan was so angry that he ignored him and turned around to hug Qu Xiaoyou and comforted him warmly, "Xiaoyou, don't bother with him. He has been a monk since he was young and has a simple mind. He doesn't understand the evil of human nature at all.

"I believe you. I believe you wouldn't kill anyone for no reason. Don't be afraid. I won't let anything happen to you."

Qu Xiaoyou looked at her, her eyes slightly red, "Thank you, Younan."

She and Younan had not known each other for long and they did not have much contact. She did not expect that in such a situation of "conclusive evidence", no one, including that Mu Tou, believed her, but she said she believed her.

The emotion in her heart was beyond words.

Tao Fengzheng sneered and didn't bother to pay attention to them. He turned to Lu Xiuyuan and said, "Your Majesty, I did what you said. Now the facts are determined. I ask Your Majesty to abide by the agreement and let me seek justice for my son who died unjustly."

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and said after a long silence: "My words are of course true, but even if the charges have been determined, the Minister had better act according to the rules, otherwise the people will accuse him of abusing his power."

Tao Feng clenched his fists, lowered his head to hide his ferocious expression, and asked with gritted teeth: "What do you think, Prince Yi?"

“The Shangshu is the Minister of Revenue, and criminal cases should be handled by the Ministry of Justice.

"First, you should hand Miss Qu over to the Ministry of Justice. According to the rules, the Minister of Justice needs to investigate again and then punish Miss Qu accordingly according to the law."

Lu Xiuyuan had just said something and it was impossible for him to go back on his word. Now that things had come to this, he could only postpone the matter for a while until he could find another solution.

Tao Feng couldn't think of a reason to refute, so he could only curse in his heart for being nosy, and compromised unwillingly, "Yes, thank you for your advice, Your Majesty, I understand."

"Well, go ahead." Lu Xiuyuan waved his hand, indicating that he could handle the matter impartially.

Tao Fengzheng took a deep breath, looked at Qu Xiaoyou, waved his hand, and ordered his men to take him down.

Qu Xiaoyou couldn't stand it anymore. She frowned, drew out the sword in her hand with a "swish", and glared at them with murderous look on her face.

She did nothing wrong, why should she be taken away by them?

The person who can catch her has not been born yet. With her skills, these dozens of people may not be her match.
