Tang Dynasty Puppet Doctor

Chapter 119 The Yingying Case Ends

Cui Ying made a whimpering sound. She looked at the man in front of her with eyes full of anger and ferocity, her eyes filled with deep fear.

At that moment, a young man in fine clothes and wearing a veiled hat walked out of the house and said to Heichi Jun, "Your great revenge has finally been achieved. General Heichi, come with me. I will give you a new identity and pass on your father's name as a divine general. When the time is right, I will vindicate your father."

This young man was only four feet tall and looked no more than ten years old, yet his speech was as mature and steady as an adult.

Seeing Cui Ying looking at the young man with panic in his eyes, Heichi Jun suddenly took out a dagger and slashed it towards Cui Ying's eyes. Suddenly, a shrill and dull scream was heard, and two lines of blood and tears fell from Cui Ying's eyes.

"You gouged out Aying's eyes, and you blinded him too. This is the punishment you deserve!"

The young man looked at this scene, neither afraid nor surprised. Instead, he urged, "Kill her! Let's leave quickly. Otherwise, the people from the Dali Temple and the Censorate will come and you won't be able to explain yourself. Moreover, she is the daughter of the Cui family. If she makes the Cui family hate you because of her, it will be disadvantageous to you and me."

Heichi Jun sneered, "I'm afraid she's only bringing shame to the Cui family now, and they can't wait to get rid of her. If I don't kill her, someone from the Cui family will come and take care of her. It's just..." He suddenly changed the subject, "What will happen to him if I leave?"

"Don't worry, he didn't kill anyone. At most, he just helped you plan these things. And he's a victim. Given his status, the Dali Temple won't do anything to him. I will also ask my aunt to save him! On the other hand, you, your father, still bears the stigma of treason. You can't fall into the hands of the Dali Temple."

After a pause, the young man said firmly, "Let's go to my Hundred Cavalry Battalion!"

Heichi Jun hesitated for a moment, looked again at Cui Ying who was still screaming hysterically, nodded with determination, and walked out of the house with the young man.

……

Not long after they left the house, the blind musician finally revealed Cui Ying's location under the questioning of Lu Ling and Lu Shiyilang. Then, a group of detectives from the Cui family, the Zheng family and the Dali Temple quickly rushed to the dilapidated house.

The same is true for Murong Huan and Xiao Muchen.

When everyone walked into the house, they immediately smelled a pungent smell of blood in the wind.

Lu Shiyilang sighed, "This place seems to have been the residence of Li Yuanjia, the King of Han. After Li Yuanjia and Li Zhen were executed for their rebellion, this house was abandoned."

"Hurry up and search around to find someone! Why do you care who owns the house at this time?" Cui Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly rushed forward and said anxiously.

Lu Ling frowned, and although he was unhappy, he ordered his detectives to search everywhere.

Soon, the group followed the smell of blood and found themselves in a dirty side courtyard. When the courtyard door opened, everyone was stunned with shock.

They saw a woman with bloodshot eyes, bloodstained face and a coarse cloth stuffed in her mouth soaked in a huge wine jar. If it weren't for the luxurious clothes made of gold thread, thin smoke and emerald green gauze scattered outside the wine jar and recognized by Cui Ying's personal maid, no one would have believed that the disheveled woman in front of them was the once elegant and dignified daughter of the Cui family.

For a moment, everyone held their breath and let out an incredible sigh of horror.

"Are you Ah Ying?" Cui Yuan screamed and immediately ran to the wine jar. She took the coarse cloth from Cui Ying's mouth and asked in a sad voice, "Who made you like this?"

Cui Ying could no longer see anyone, and all she saw was a blood-red scene in front of her. She could only let out a shrill cry of pain, and her whole body was as crazy as a bloodthirsty beast.

"Aunt, kill them for me, kill them... Kill Heichi Jun, kill that blind man..."

Cui Yuan seemed to also feel a kind of powerless and heartbreaking pain. She suddenly raised her eyes, and her gaze shot like a sharp blade at the blind boy standing in the crowd.

"Come here, capture this murderer for me!" The people she ordered were naturally the servants of the Cui family she brought with her, but facing the Rakshasa-like Cui, even those servants were frightened and hesitated to step forward.

At this moment, a voice came from the courtyard: "Let's see who dares?"

Cui Yuan looked at the person who came with a distorted face, and saw that it was Madam Cui walking towards her supported by her two children. Behind her was a group of aggressive servants of the Cui family.

Madam Cui tearfully glanced at Cui Yuan, then walked over to the wine jar and looked at Cui Ying. She asked with a heartbroken expression, "I believe I've always treated you well. Your mother insisted on marrying into the Cui family as a concubine, and tragically died after giving birth to you. It was I who gave you the status of legitimate daughter within the Cui family. Why would you harm my own daughter? Why?"

Cui Ying recognized Madam Cui's voice and laughed sadly, "You treat me well? Auntie, you say you treat me well, but in reality you look down on me, don't you? When you were nice to me before, I felt the warmth of a mother. But since the trip to Puzhou, you've completely changed, devoting all your attention to that lowly, poor woman.

You may not know this yet, but even Cui Yin has heard you talking in your sleep. You knew your daughter was unlucky, yet you still adopted her as your adopted daughter, and even wanted to bring her back to the Cui family and find her the best husband in the world...

Her existence makes us girls who were raised as the legitimate daughters of the Cui family look ridiculous, doesn't it?
Aunt, Cui Yin is not your biological daughter, right? She is just a fake that you found to make up for your guilt towards your biological daughter..."

With a "slap", before Cui Ying could finish her words, she was slapped hard by Madam Cui.

"No one is as lowly as you!" she cursed hoarsely.

Cui Ying was even more incredulous, yet burst into laughter as if she had expected it: "So, in my aunt's heart, I am just a lowly concubine, right?
Then kill me now! Kill me now! Avenge your own daughter! "

She laughed bitterly as if she had gone mad.

Madam Cui also suddenly pulled out the hairpin on her head and was about to stab Cui Ying in the neck, but Murong Huan suddenly appeared and grabbed her wrist.

"Madam, calm down. You can't kill her, or your reputation will be ruined. Hand her over to the Dali Temple for punishment!"

When Cui Ying heard Murong Huan's voice, his expression became even crazier, and he laughed like a ghost.

"Haha... I'm in this state, and you still want to hand me over to the Dali Temple for punishment? Murong Huan, you are such a slut, you are really scheming. You just went to Princess Taiping's peony banquet, and in a short time, you became famous in the Divine Capital Luoyang, suppressing many famous ladies in Luoyang City."

"I really regret not killing you sooner. Why did you get everything I've ever dreamed of, yet make all my efforts in this life pale in comparison?"

The sudden random biting and cursing immediately angered the crowd of onlookers.

Xiao Muchen's eyes were filled with unprecedented anger.

"I never thought that the once glamorous and beautiful noblewoman of the Cui family would be so cruel and ugly. Princess Jiahe didn't provoke her, but she actually vented her anger on people who had nothing to do with her. She is so jealous and crazy that she can't tolerate anyone being better than her. She is truly as the blind boy said, a vicious woman like a snake and scorpion!"

"She really deserves to die!"

"You deserve this retribution!"

Listening to the wave of discussion, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of the boy's lips again.

At this moment, Cui Ying laughed loudly and suddenly raised his head and bumped into the hairpin in Madam Cui's hand.
