Si Zhuan suddenly raised his head and looked towards the backyard, but suddenly he saw a figure flashing past!
Si Zhuan didn't say much, and rushed over with long strides. Li Ran and others looked at each other, not knowing why, and followed him to the backyard, where they saw Si Zhuan threatening someone in the corner.
Through the glow of the torch, everyone saw clearly that the man was Si Hei's son - Si Yin!
"Uncle! Where are you going?"
In terms of seniority, Si Yin is Si Dai's cousin, that is, Si Zhuan's cousin.
Si Yin seemed quite flustered at this time, with a look of shock in his eyes.
"I...I was just walking around, not thinking about where to go..."
Because of Si Hei's own misdeeds, after Zi Chan was liquidated that year, Zi Chan was open to him and still allowed his son Si Yin to serve as the Chu Master in the office. (Master Chu: Basically, he is just a small official who manages the market, not a high-ranking official)
Therefore, this Si Yin has always lived in their Si Mansion.
Later, because of Feng Duan, Si Dai became the third-in-command of Zheng. It can be said that it was a prosperous period in Zheng Yi, but Siyin gradually lost its former glory in Zheng due to the death of his father.
Because of Si Dai's brother Meng Si Hei's daily misbehavior, although he is famous, his behavior is relatively low-key. And he also took good care of Siyin, his cousin.
But Si Yin seemed to have thought of something at this time, and actually pulled out the big sword from his waist with a "Zeng" sound.
Seeing this, Si Yin's eyes widened and he shouted loudly:
"You...are you going to kill your uncle unjustly?!"
This man had already suspected Li Ran after seeing the tactics he had discovered.
To say that he knew his father's eating and living habits, and could find a reason to lead him directly to the gate, he could also unexpectedly pull out the knife from his body and kill him. Apart from the uncle in front of him, who else could be in this Si family?
What's more, he is so sneaky now, obviously he has a guilty conscience. He must have felt that Li Ran and others had obtained irrefutable evidence and knew that they could no longer hide it, so they prepared to escape secretly.
When Si Zhuan thought about this, he sternly reprimanded:
"My late father treated my uncle well. Your family was in trouble, but my late father thought of the friendship between the same family and still let my uncle live in the house. Why did my uncle...why did my uncle harm my late father?!"
In the family, Si Hei was the eldest son of a concubine, so although he had a very high seniority, due to his eccentric personality and his tendency to cause trouble everywhere, he had been involved in all kinds of messy things in Zheng State.
And this trait of his has been exploited by Fengduan before as expected. But even so, he can even cause conflicts with Fengduan who has common interests.
It can be seen how popular he is in the court, so everyone keeps a respectful distance from him.
After Si Hei's death, his son was naturally not welcomed. As the head of the Si clan, Si Dai was able to take Si Yin in because he was from the same clan and had the same origin, so it was a great kindness.
Si Yin rolled his eyes again:
"I... never killed your father?! Zhuan'er! After all, I am also your uncle. How can you listen to outsiders and slander me like this?!"
After Si Zhuan heard this, he snorted coldly:
"Uncle, don't make any more excuses! The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. Even if you are Zhuan'er's uncle, what will happen to you?"
Si Zhuan said, waving the big sword in his hand and greeting Si Yin, Si Yin could only hold on at this moment.
"What nonsense! This is purely a frame-up! I did not kill your father, and I have no reason to do so! Zhuan'er, if you hate your uncle, then your uncle can just leave! Why do this!"
Si Zhuan ignored Si Yin's cries of aggrievement and only ordered people to arrest him. Later, Si Zhuan came to Li Ran again:
"Mr. Ziming's clever calculation finally allowed Si Zhuan to catch the culprit today. Zhuan is really grateful!"
Si Zhuan couldn't help but bow deeply as he spoke, while Li Ran hurriedly returned the bow and said:
"He is only somewhat suspected now, but whether it is really him or not requires further investigation and interrogation to determine."
Si Zhuan nodded.
"Zhuan Zi should take care of this and handle it properly!"
Although Si Yin has been arrested now, it is not certain that he is the murderer.
However, since he has the conditions to do all this, Li Ran actually knows the motives.
Siyin was mostly responsible for the death of his father Sihei, but Sidai, as the sect leader, was always indifferent to this. He could not avenge his father, and he did not use his high-ranking official position to plot against him, so he had a grudge against him.
…
Not long after, Owl Wing came to report that Si Yin had confessed his crime, but committed suicide in prison. As for his motivation, it was roughly as expected by Li Ran.
Moreover, according to his confession, Siyin did not seem to initially connect Bo You's ghost with his desire to take revenge on Sidai. Only later, when he heard someone talking about it in the market, did he react and finally decided to kill him.
When Li Ran heard the news, he was suddenly startled.
"Ah? Si Yin is dead? How did he die?"
"I don't know, but he has confessed everything he should have confessed, so it doesn't matter anymore, right?"
Li Ran didn't pay attention to what Ou Yi said, but went directly to Si Mansion to ask for details. Si Zhuan did not hide anything, but explained Si Yin's situation in detail.
Si Yin died in prison, committing suicide by taking poison. But what is strange is that he was searched before he was imprisoned, so there should be no poison around him.
However, now that he has confessed, whether he dies or not is of little importance to Si Zhuan, so he does not pay too much attention to this matter.
Li Ran thought deeply and felt that the matter was by no means as simple as it seemed. At this moment, Li Ran got another news: the master of Feng Mansion also hanged himself in prison at the same time!
Li Ran felt that something was fishy, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Si Zhuan and went to the Feng Mansion Housekeeper's Office to investigate. However, he also found nothing. The only thing he saw at this time was his body.
Li Ran was looking at the body of Feng Mansion's Prime Minister here, and at the same time, something happened to Hu Ji, who was being held at the other end of the prison - it was said that she suddenly went crazy.
So, Li Ran and Fan Li hurriedly came outside Hu Ji's prison, and saw Hu Ji sitting on the ground with disheveled hair, surrounded by a mess and stinking, Hu Ji laughed blankly.
"You damn ghost..."
"It's impossible for Mr. Boshi to know about our affairs. You can ignore what that person says. Why don't you listen..."
"If he knew about us... how could he allow us to live..."
"Haha...but it's better to die..."
"Uuuuuuuuah...but where are you now..."
Hu Ji's words were confused and she seemed unclear, but Li Ran also picked up some clues.
Obviously, there must be another hidden secret behind this piece of eucalyptus. Someone should have told Fengfu's family chief first that Fengduan already knew about them. That's why Fengfu's family chief chose to take the risk, strike first and kill Fengduan directly!
Li Ran returned to the Sacrifice Mansion thoughtfully, and Fan Li beside him also said at this time:
"Sir, it seems... there's someone behind this incident?"
Li Ran said sadly:
"Hey... I should have thought of it earlier. According to Si Yin's confession and Hu Ji's words, it is obvious that someone deliberately wanted them to connect the ghost incident with the murder! And the person behind the scenes must be That's the man who is pretending to be a ghost! What I expected at first was that these ideas might have been thought up by Siyin and the Prime Minister of Fengfu themselves, but at the time I was also very curious about how they could do it so uniformly. What about?"
"It seems that this uncle has ghosts and murders, and there must be other people behind it who deliberately caused these two murders! And the real murderer behind the scenes is so clever that he even hid it from me. Now that the clues have been cut off, I’m afraid it won’t be that simple if we continue to investigate.”
From the beginning to the end, the ghost incident and the two murders made people think that the murderer was trying to use the theory of ghosts as an excuse. But Li Ran realized at this time that the man who was pretending to be a ghost behind his back was obviously the core of the whole incident!
Who would do this?
Li Ran was also puzzled by this. This person has such means, courage and knowledge, he is really an extraordinary person.
So, although this whole thing seemed to be beneficial to them, it also made Li Ran uneasy.
And at this moment, Owl Wings came to report with joy:
"My lord, my wife has arrived at the city gate under the escort of Chu Dang and is heading towards the Jishi Mansion!"
When Li Ran heard this, he stood up immediately. He was also very happy and couldn't care about anything. Because he stood up too eagerly, the crook of his legs became weak. Fan Li hurriedly stepped forward to help him, so he didn't fall down.
"Quickly, please order someone to tidy up the house quickly. Young uncle, you come with me to greet the madam!"
