Qi Menglin and LianShu also took a ride to the county government office.Qi Menglin deliberately pricked his hand, and Luo Shu bought a jar of wine to disinfect Qi Menglin. Qi Menglin screamed in pain, but felt warm in his heart.

The driver took Luo Shu and the three of them to the gate of the county government office. Qi Menglin wanted to help Luo Shu down, but Luo Shu was unsteady and fell down. Han Muzhi came in time to hug Luo Shu. Han Muzhi and Luo Shu looked at each other, and time seemed to stand still.Suddenly, Chen Meiqing coughed softly, and the two of them separated. Qi Menglin wanted to protect Luo Shu, but was overtaken by Han Muzhi, and he felt resentful.

Han Muzhi's team Feng Erlang conducted an interrogation. Feng Erlang admitted that he rented a boat, but he did not kill Meng Qiaosheng. Han Muzhi asked hard, and Feng Erlang confessed that he tied Meng Qiaosheng to the boat and beat Meng Qiaosheng. Meng Qiaosheng finally jumped into the river by himself. Chen MeiqingIt was determined that Feng Erlang had killed Meng Qiaosheng, and Han Muzhi was asked to close the case.

Mei Hongying did not believe that Feng Erlang killed Meng Qiaosheng. Mei Changxiong tried his best to keep it clear.Mei Hongying and FengRegarding Erlang's relationship, Mei Hongying ignored Mei Changxiong's obstruction and followed Luo Shu and Qi Menglin to the county government to testify for Feng Erlang. Mei Changxiong asked Luo Shu not to tell about Mei Hongying's visit to the county government, so as not to affect Mei HongYing's famous festival.

As soon as Mei Hongying saw Feng Erlang, she complained that he should not break the promise. Han Muzhi forced Feng Erlang to tell the truth, otherwise he would die. Mei Hongying persuaded Feng Erlang to prove his innocence. Feng Erlang said nothing, and Han Muzhi ordered Feng Erlang to be arrested.He was imprisoned and executed after ten days.Mei Hongying firmly believed that Feng Erlang was not the murderer, and begged Luo Shu to help Feng Erlang clear the suspicion. Luo Shu agreed. She sent Mei Hongying home and casually asked about Mei Changxiong's whereabouts on the night of the crime. Mei ChangxiongHe claimed to be working in a workshop and his wife had returned to her parents' home.

Mei Hongying felt depressed when she returned home. Mei Changxiong gave her good words. Mei Hongying remembered that Feng Erlang was about to die unjustly. She complained that Mei Changxiong should not break up the two of them. She and Feng Erlang made an appointment to meet at home.Feng Erlang came to look for her at home, but Mei Changxiong locked her in the study.

After hearing the news, Cai Baozi came over and brought her two buns, which Luo Shu baked and ate.In order to protect Mei Hongying's reputation, Han Muzhi issued a death order and did not allow anyone to tell anyone about Mei Hongying's visit to the county government for questioning. However, rumors leaked out early in the morning. Han Muzhi suspected that the Mei family had leaked the news, so he took her with him.Luo Shu went to Mei's house to understand the situation, and Han Muzhi pretended to be a master.

Luo Shu knew how to make shaomai and promised to make it for him when he had time.Luo Shu and Han Muzhi came to Mei's house and saw Mei Changxiong quarreling with his neighbors from a distance. Mei Changxiong cursed the women who were gossiping, and the two sides started fighting when they disagreed. Han Muzhi hurriedly stopped them and asked the women who gossiped.When people went to the county government, they were so frightened that they fled.

Han Muzhi suspected that someone had leaked the news about Mei Hongying going to the county government. Mei Changxiong could not guess who it was. After hearing the news, Mei Hongying came over and begged Han Muzhi to get rid of the suspicion. She wanted to see Feng Erlang in prison., Han Muzhi made an exception and asked Luo Shu to accompany Mei Hongying to the prison.Mei Hongying brought Feng Erlang's favorite roast chicken and persuaded him to tell the truth. Feng Erlang was forced to tell the truth.On the night of the incident, Feng Erlang called Lao San and Danniu to pick up Mei Hongying at home. When he saw Mei Hongying sleeping soundly under the quilt, Feng Erlang and the three of them picked up the quilt and left. Only when they got to the boat did they find that Mei Hongying was under the quilt.It was Meng Qiaosheng who was naked. Feng Erlang beat Meng Qiaosheng severely, and Meng Qiaosheng jumped into the river and escaped.

Mei Hongying clearly remembered what happened that day. Mei Changxiong locked Mei Hongying in the study, forced her to copy books, and locked all the doors and windows. Mei Hongying screamed until her throat was broken, but no one came to open the door. She kept waiting for Feng Erlang, and then fell asleep in a daze.After listening to Mei Hongying's narration, Feng Erlang knew that he had wrongly blamed Mei Hongying. Luo Shu knew that Feng Erlang did not tell the truth because of Mei Hongying's reputation. Luo Shu went through the whole story and determined that Feng Erlang did notKill Meng Qiaosheng.
