Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1257: Chapter 1166: Female Chancellor 105

Yin Shuangshuang strolled to Gao Ya’s side, watching her incredulous expression, and smiled slightly: ”Actually, this matter is not so difficult to figure out.

When County Magistrate Gao came to this county for his appointment, although he was alone, he was a County Magistrate, and he couldn’t be without servants to attend to him.

County Magistrate Gao once hired many people in this county, so just by asking these people, it was easy to find out about County Magistrate Gao having a beloved only daughter, because he never hid his affection for her.

After County Magistrate Gao’s accident, it’s said that the County Magistrate’s Wife back at home was heartbroken, and after handling the aftermath, she hanged herself in grief. I had investigated these facts long before coming to take up my position.

With the death of both County Magistrate Gao and his wife, you suddenly appeared in Qinglin County, and directly schemed to get close to Chai Pengfei, becoming his mistress. Your appearance at that specific time made me highly suspicious.

But what truly confirmed you as County Magistrate Gao’s daughter was your extraordinary demeanor and the talent that reportedly enamored Chai Pengfei.

A talented woman is either a young lady from a prominent family or a famous Oiran cultivated in a brothel.

Obviously, you are not a girl from a brothel, considering a famous Oiran so young could never leave a brothel unless redeemed.

So a talented woman, with deceased parents, drifting to a remote county like Qinglin County, your identity is too easy to guess.”

Gao Ya let out a faint smile twice: ”You truly are a remarkable woman, my small talent thought I could proudly parade plans before you, but unknowingly was merely making a fool of myself.”

Gao Ya slowly turned to look at Chai Pengfei, who stared at her in disbelief, unable to speak due to being tied up like a bundle and gagged, but only glaring at her with hatred in her eyes: ”Fortunately, this fool lacks your intellect, and has never known my identity.”

”Actually, I admire you greatly, a young lady willing to discard her reputation and future, just to avenge her father by getting close to the enemy.

You could have easily poisoned Chai Pengfei in trust to avenge your father, but you are County Magistrate Gao’s daughter, whose greatest wish in life was probably to bring Chai Pengfei and others to justice.

Thus, you diligently collected evidence around Chai Pengfei, hoping to someday condemn them with evidence.

At the same time, your acting in front of Chai Pengfei was superb, convincing him enough to reveal and seek help in plotting against me in such a significant matter.

Back at the Rouge Pavilion, you hesitated, wanting to give me collected evidence of mine, hesitated several times, but refrained, fearing I couldn’t overthrow Chai Pengfei, hence choosing another alternative.

You are much smarter than Chai Pengfei, who naively thinks killing me and using an avalanche can cover everything like how your father was murdered.

But you know I am a confidant of the Emperor, if slain, the Emperor would definitely be enraged, dispatching an investigation into my death.

Upon imperial orders to investigate, with your evidence, Chai Pengfei and others’ secrets can no longer be hidden, allowing your great revenge to be fulfilled naturally.

Therefore, after learning Chai Pengfei’s plan, hesitating repeatedly, you ultimately decided to conform to Chai Pengfei’s plan, leading to my death, using my death to attract the Emperor’s notice, avenging your father.”

Gao Ya bitterly smiled repeatedly: ”Looks like this young lady indeed lost fairly, with all thoughts seen through by you.”

Gao Ya laboriously rose, tremblingly tidied her clothes, then knelt before Yin Shuangshuang: ”My Lady, I have grievances! Although I know plotting against you is a mortal crime, my father is a good official.

My father came from a poor family, studied arduously, albeit without background, lingered in the position of Eighth-rank County Magistrate.

Despite this, my father never resented fate, always saying the size of one’s position isn’t crucial; sheltering the common people is what matters most.

My father served twenty years, received eighteen Mass Umbrellas, showing how adored by the common people he was.

What I said earlier, Chai Pengfei and others discovering the gold mine is true, but at that time the Qinglin County Magistrate also knew, he was my father’s close friend, righteous and just as they were.

Chai Pengfei, County Magistrate Hu Bingchen, secretary Xu Huirong, and arrest officer and constables collaborated, aiming to conceal the gold mine for self-benefit.

Who knew the Qinglin County Magistrate wouldn’t agree, insisted on reporting to the court, resulting in being murdered by Chai Pengfei and others working together, my father suspiciously learned of his friend’s drowning.

My father’s friend was raised by the water, skilled in swimming, so drowned was improbable, to investigate his friend’s death, requested transferring to Qinglin County as County Magistrate.

Knowing risks, my father traditionally took us everywhere, chose to come alone for work, but I instead received news of my father’s death instead of his vengeance.

My father died, mother followed soon, leaving me alone in Qinglin County, approaching Chai Pengfei and others, discovering my father was murdered.

Back then my father had found secret letters left by his friend, knowing of the gold mine, wished to report to the court, yet memorial blocked by Chai Pengfei.

My father went on horseback intent to leave Qinglin overnight, to report to higher officials, blocked outside the city by Chai Pengfei, pushed off a cliff, instant death becoming real.”

Gao Ya now sobbed uncontrollably, crawled a few steps, grasped Yin Shuangshuang’s attire, crying out bloodstained tears: ”My Lady! My father never committed wrong! Served nation and common folk! A righteous official! Never accepted bribes! A good man! He’s dead! Died innocently, my Lady!”

”My Lady! I’m guilty deserving death manifold! Will die to atone! Begging My Lady! Begging to avenge my father! For justice for my father!”

Gao Ya kneeling on the cold ground started ceaselessly kowtowing before Yin Shuangshuang, forehead touching cold snow with booming sounds, soon forming red snow beneath.

Upon a few kowtows, Gao Ya’s forehead was a bloody mess, no sense of pain, continued her kowtowing.

This scene moved everyone deeply, even Wei Yingnan previously begrudgingly resenting Gao Ya secretly plotting against Yin Shuangshuang couldn’t help but bend down to support Gao Ya.

”Stand up first, rest assured, Sister Shuangshuang will give justice for your father, see Chai Pengfei has now been captured.”
