Chapter 225 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 10
The police officer in charge originally intended to confiscate all the gifts after seeing them at the scene.
Village Chief Lu and the villagers objected, and several elderly people stepped forward to block their way.
"How dare you?! This is robbery?! We gave these things voluntarily, why are you confiscating them?"
The police officer in charge patiently explained:
"Lu Yingniang is suspected of promoting feudal superstition. This is fraud, and all of these are illegal gains. According to national regulations, they should all be confiscated."
"Bullshit! Get out of here, are you obsessed with money?"
There are so many fortune tellers at those temples, why don't you arrest a single one?
"Are you trying to bully us in our rural area?"
"That's right, Yingniang never lies. You're saying someone reported her?"
Who reported this? Tell me, I want to know what their intentions are!
The crowd at the scene was furious, and the police dared not act recklessly, as the people blocking their way were all elderly men and women.
If you lie down on the ground, they'll try to extort you.
In the end, they had no choice but to take Lu Yingniang back in the police car.
In the interrogation room, Lu Yingniang resolutely denied that she had lied.
If she had been feeling guilty before, she might have confessed after being threatened, and then been released after paying a fine.
But now my thinking has changed. There really are ghosts and evil things in this world. How can I be considered a liar?
Besides, she and her daughter genuinely helped the villagers rid themselves of a scourge today; they did a good deed.
Therefore, she denies both the charge of engaging in feudal superstition and fraud.
While intensifying the interrogation, the police also further verified the reported materials with the complainant.
Liu Xiao'e woke up on the wooden bed in the earthen house and found that she had been reborn.
Two weeks before her death, she was seriously ill and destitute when she passed by the stone bridge in her hometown.
Suddenly, I let out a cry of surprise, and the events of sixteen years ago vividly appeared in my mind.
She suddenly understood what had happened back then.
Tears streamed down his face, but it was too late for regrets.
Now reborn, she gritted her teeth and touched her pockets, recalling where she had hidden her money in her previous life.
Sure enough, the six hundred yuan had been swindled away by that big swindler, Lu Yingniang.
She hurriedly ran outside and suddenly heard a lively procession of music and drums in the distance, indicating that the wedding party was coming to pick her up.
She panicked and ran over as fast as she could.
At the front of the line, she saw the male protagonist from her past life's "hero saves the beauty" story.
Tall and handsome Feng Chaoying, dressed in military uniform, rode a motorcycle; he was a company-level officer in the army.
A few years later, after being demobilized, he worked at the county public security bureau.
She should have been the one he saved, and she should have been the one to become the bureau chief's wife.
But all of this was ruined by that big liar, fake sorceress Lu Yingniang.
She ruined her own marriage and destroyed her life.
She wants revenge.
Inside the police station, Liu Xiao'e covered her face, still looking furious.
She caused a scene at the wedding today, hugging Feng Chaoying and shouting, "I am the bride!"
I am the one you should have saved, and I am the one you should have married.
The groom looked completely bewildered and couldn't push him away no matter how hard he tried.
The bride's family, who were also Liu Xiao'e's relatives, were furious.
He ripped it open and slapped Liu Xiao'e across the face several times.
Liu Xiao'e's face was swollen from being slapped, and her hair was a mess.
They scolded her for being obsessed with men, saying she was shameless for stealing her cousin's man.
Even her parents and younger brother felt ashamed and sided with the bride's family to criticize her.
Little did they know that all of this should have originally belonged to her.
It was just that my cousin got married into her family.
She simply wants to take back what belongs to her.
What's wrong with her.
In the interrogation room, the police officer, with a stern expression, shouted:
"Lu Yingniang, this is a stubborn resistance!"
Do you know Liu Xiao'e?
You told her fortune last month and scammed her out of 600 yuan, you haven't forgotten, have you?
"Liu Xiao'e?! Six hundred yuan..."
Lu Yingniang paused for a moment, then remembered.
But she remained defiant, sneering as she said:
"She reported me? She's really biting the hand that feeds her!"
The policeman frowned and shouted:
"You better confess honestly. Do you know Liu Xiao'e or not?"
Did you cheat someone out of 600 yuan?
Do you know that was earned by a young girl who painstakingly dug up medicinal herbs for half a year?
Lu Yingniang scoffed and said with a disdainful look:
“I know her, but I didn’t cheat her out of money. That 600 yuan was what she should have paid. Otherwise, she would have been violated by those thugs long ago.”
"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly."
The police officer was taken aback, stared at her, and shouted.
"My husband is a peddler. He usually goes to the village to collect mountain products and such."
Two weeks ago, while he was resting by the woods, he overheard a few bad boys in the woods discussing how to harm a girl.
They spoke with such detail that my husband took notice. Later, he deduced that the girl these young men wanted to harm was Liu Xiao'e.
I had one of my former followers say something to this girl, and she came looking for me herself.
On the other side, Liu Xiao'e clenched her fists and retorted indignantly:
"The first thing she said about me was that I was dirty."
I asked her where it was dirty, and she said it was dirty down there. I asked her how it was dirty down there?
She said some bad boys are targeting me. Has someone been following you a lot lately?
I was scared when I said yes.
I asked her who she was?
She remained silent, saying that she would only speak if incense was offered and money was given.
I had no choice but to give him 100 yuan.
She complained that it wasn't enough, saying that she needed 600 yuan to ask a deity to avert disaster.
I was so scared after she intimidated me that I gave it to her.
This is the money I earned through six months of hard work digging for medicinal herbs in the mountains.
After that, she burned some talisman paper, took some cinnabar, and applied it to my forehead and arm.
Then he stomped his foot and shouted, "That's it!"
Finally, they even made me buy a wolfhound to keep in the yard.
He then casually handed me a peach wood stick, which I hung by the door, saying it would ward off evil spirits and disasters.
I was so scared I didn't dare leave the house for three months, but nothing happened. That's when I realized I'd been scammed.
After reading the statements of the two men, the police officer fell into deep thought.
At this moment, an experienced veteran policeman spoke up: "Lu Yingniang, do you have any evidence for what you're saying?"
Lu Yingniang hurriedly said:
“My husband can testify, and we roughly know who those thugs are. We can bring them over for a confrontation.”
On the other side, Liu Xiao'e sneered, "Hmph, they must have conspired together."
The old policeman ignored her and sent someone to find Lu Yingniang's husband, Hu Ziqiang.
Xiao Xiao came along too.
The police even invited the groom, Feng Chaoying, and the bride to identify several people who appeared to be petty thugs.
Before long, everyone was brought over.
The thugs arrived looking nonchalant, but became very obedient when they saw the police.
But they refuse to admit that they harmed the girl.
He only confessed when he saw Feng Chaoying and the bride.
After all, Feng Chaoying had beaten them quite badly when she returned from visiting relatives that day. If they hadn't run away quickly, they would have definitely ended up in jail.
Hu Ziqiang also confirmed that the few bad boys in the woods that day were them.
All of this confirms that what Lu Yingniang said was true.
Liu Xiao'e stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
But she was still unconvinced, claiming that it was Lu Yingniang, that fake sorceress, who ruined her marriage.
You're not lying to me; I was the one who saved the damsel in distress that day.
I can be the bride.
