Liu Cheng was also very happy. After following Liu Shun’s idea, the situation had really turned around.
This time, no one could turn the table around, not even gods.
At the thought that even the county magistrate had to apologize to him, he felt thrilled.
“Constable Lin, where is His Lordship? I don’t have that much time. I’m busy.”
Liu Cheng was extremely arrogant. After the corpse of his retarded wife was burned to ashes, he was not afraid of the government at all. Instead, the government had to give him an explanation.
Liu Shun had also said that without any evidence, even the emperor could not do anything to him. Usually, when Liu Chun saw these officers, he would be terrified.
Lin Zheng suppressed his anger and replied. “His Lordship is already waiting for you in the back hall. He has been waiting for quite some time. He won’t make you wait for long.”
“I see.”
Liu Cheng narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully. Suddenly, he held his stomach. “Aiyo, Constable Lin, I don’t know what’s wrong with my stomach, but it suddenly hurts. No, no, where’s the toilet? I have to go to the toilet before I can see His Lordship.”
Liu Cheng’s mother did not know what was happening and quickly helped Liu Cheng up. “Son, what’s the matter? Did you eat something wrong?”
Liu Cheng nodded. “I think so. Constable Lin, where’s the toilet?”
Liu Cheng’s father smiled. “Constable Lin, nature’s call can’t be delayed. His Lordship will understand it.”
Lin Zheng suppressed his anger and took a deep breath. “Follow me.”
Liu Cheng clearly wanted His Lordship to wait for him. He wanted to put on airs and make himself look important. It was really detestable.

When Constable Lin knocked on his door, Liu Cheng had almost been scared out of his wits. After knowing the purpose of his coming, Liu Cheng immediately became smug. Constable Lin would never believe that such a timid and cowardly person would dare to burn down the mortuary.
Lin Zheng was furious, but because this was an order from Wei Shilai, he had to endure it.
After Liu Cheng came out of the toilet, Lin Zheng immediately brought him to the back hall of the government office.
Wei Shilai had received the news in advance and was waiting.
However, after waiting Liu Cheng for a long while, he finally got an officer to check what was going on. Later, he found that Liu Cheng had gone to the toilet.
The assistant, Zhu Zongyang, frowned slightly and said, “Sir, he did it on purpose.”
Wei Shilai smiled. He understood the situation as well.
Wei Shilai said, “Watch Liu Cheng’s expression carefully later. Remember not to let go of any possible evidence, understand?”
Zhu Zongyang nodded. He went out to do a background check on Liu Sanniang, so he didn’t know that Liu Sanniang had psychic ability. However, from Wei Shilai’s attitude, he seemed to be completely persuaded by Liu Sanniang.
Wei Shilai did believe in Liu Sanniang, but in order to protect her from revealing her ability, he did not say much.
Liu Sanniang sat behind the curtain and listened to Wei Shilai’s instructions carefully. She made up her mind to use her psychic ability to dig out the nasty secrets that Liu Cheng was hiding.
It was already afternoon. She drank tea and rested for a long time. She felt refreshed, which further gave her confidence.
After a long time, Liu Cheng and his family finally arrived.
“Greetings, Magistrate Wei.”
Liu Cheng’s father cupped his hands and said loudly. This was the first time he was so confident that he did not kneel after seeing Magistrate Wei.
Wei Shilai stood up and smiled. “Finally, you all are here.”
But if he didn’t say that he was going to apologize. Getting Liu Cheng and his whole family to come here would have been difficult otherwise.
“Sir, we’re already here. Where are we going to sit? How are you going to apologize? Sir, you have to tell me. I’m a country woman and don’t know anything. Please explain it to me.”
Liu Cheng’s mother was also good at pretending.
Lin Zhengqi was angry that this woman actually dared to make requests.
Zhu Zongyang was also a little angry at this rude and unreasonable woman.
Liu Cheng chipped in arrogantly. “All of us are very reasonable people. We don’t have any other requests. We just need Magistrate Wei to apologize to us and offer us a cup of tea.”
Liu Cheng’s cocky attitude made Lin Zheng and Zhu Zongyang so angry that they almost lost control of themselves. Even Officer Zhou was clenching his fists in anger.
However, Wei Shilai was not angry at all. Instead, his smile deepened. “Madam, don’t be anxious. Please take a seat first.”
Wei Shilai raised his hand. Officer Zhou, who was instructed earlier, immediately brought a team of officers into the room and closed the door.
Before Liu Cheng and his family could react, they were all pinned down to the ground.
Liu Cheng’s expression changed drastically. He was shocked. “You, what are you doing? We didn’t break the law. You can’t do this.”
Liu Cheng’s mother was also frightened. She had just walked to the seat that Wei Shilai offered her. She was still waiting for Wei Shilai to apologize to her.
Liu Cheng’s mother was about to cry.
Liu Cheng’s father roared indignantly. “Magistrate Wei, you are dishonest! You don’t deserve to be an official.”
Wei Shilai smiled. “Be patient. If you want to curse me, do it later!”
If they waited a bit longer, this family would probably not be able to curse anymore. The fear of having all their secrets known to people was enough to make them faint.
Liu Cheng’s mother’s hand was grabbed by an officer and put through the curtain. Only then did they realize that someone was sitting behind the black curtain.
Liu Cheng’s mother tried her best to retract her hand. It was as if on the other side of the curtain, it was hell.
Liu Sanniang was already prepared. Looking at Liu Cheng’s mother’s wrinkled wrist, she placed an index finger on it. When she touched it, her mind was packed with information.
She only sifted through the most important things in the woman’s mind.
Liu Sanniang said, “Your name is Zhang Guizhi. You were sold to your husband. Your husband loved to gamble, which led to your family being very poor. Your mother-in-law treated you extremely viciously. You have suffered a lot. You were pregnant eight times, but you couldn’t give birth.”
Liu Sanniang’s voice was very soft. She had deliberately lowered her voice. She was really surprised that Liu Cheng’s mother actually had such a hard life.
