Yu Zhi simply said what happened just now.
In fact, needless to say, Su Muchi could also guess it.
Drug dregs, pharmacies, Fu Bo... Today's stolen goods are enough to prove everything.
Su Muchi looked at Yu Zhi, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is this related to Fan Liren?"
Su Muchi didn't know how to feel about the next answer.
Worried? Not necessarily, her mood is very complicated, and complexity is also a kind of calm. Maybe it doesn’t matter what the next answer is.
Before Yu Zhi could speak, Su Muchi said, "I want to make peace with him."
Yu Zhi didn't expect Su Muchi to say that, but he shouldn't tell Yu Zhi whether to reconcile or not, it was a matter between husband and wife.
Yu Zhi didn't ask why. He recalled the conversation between Su Rongsheng and his son that night. The marriage under the deal of selling a daughter to get an official position only wronged Su Muci.
My husband is also a sick man, so he married into the Fan family just to have a good reputation.
Su Muchi continued: "Make peace with me, or let him divorce me. I don't care what kind of reputation I have."
Yu Zhi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."
Now that Su Muchi spoke in front of Yu Zhi, Yu Zhi also understood that Su Muchi was asking him for help.
...
Su Chengjun surrounded Fan Mansion, which was the first time this happened.
All the people speculated about what happened in Fan Mansion.
But in the mansion, Uncle Fu had his meridians cut off by Yu Zhi, and anyone who looked at the deathly silence in his eyes would find it terrifying.
Under the pharmacy is an ice cellar with many ice cubes, which is extremely cold. In the corner of the ice cellar, there were piles of corpses that had condensed into frost.
No more, no less, a total of eight corpses, which were also the eight missing children.
Zu Anbang had people carry these corpses up. Under the sun, those corpses suddenly opened their eyes, and blood was flowing out of their eyes, ears, mouth, nose and every orifice.
Those eyes seemed to be saying - avenge me!
The horrifying scene was that the soldiers of the Suzhou Army who had been on the battlefield for a long time also felt numb.
Zu Anbang calmed down the panic in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "What on earth is going on?"
An old government official who had seen this for many years explained: "Maybe these corpses were thrown into the ice cellar after their hearts were dug out, and the blood in their bodies was also frozen in the body. Now the sun shines and melts the blood. It just flowed out.”
Zu Anbang snorted coldly and said: "What a beast with a human face and an animal heart. How can he kill such a young child?"
Zu Anbang immediately looked at Fan Lixin, glanced at it, and left.
Fan Lixin's face was very ugly. If something like this happened in the Fan Mansion, the people of the entire Sucheng County would undoubtedly reprimand the Fan Mansion.
Suddenly, Fan Lixin snatched the knife from the Su Chengjun soldier's hand and stabbed Uncle Fu in the back.
In an instant, the white knife went in and the red knife came out.
Before Fu Bo could say anything, he fell to the ground. Blood slowly flowed out from Fu Bo's abdomen and back, staining the ground red.
Zu Anbang looked at Fan Lixin with a cold expression and said word by word: "Mr. Fan, what do you mean?"
Fan Lixin looked down at Uncle Fu with cold eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. As long as Uncle Fu dies and all the blame is placed on Uncle Fu, the impact on the Fan family will be minimized.
This is the best result so far.
Fan Lixin said indignantly: "There is such a beast in the Fan family. I couldn't help but clean up the house. I hope Lord Ancestor will forgive me."
Zu Anbang was furious, and Fan Lixin dared to kill people under his nose. This was a provocation and contempt for him.
"The murderer has been caught and is waiting for my trial. There may be other accomplices after the first trial. With your killing, you have cut off all the clues. It is inevitable that you will be suspected of murder and silence."
Fan Lixin was not afraid at all and said: "Uncle Fu has admitted that he did everything, so how can he be an accomplice?"
"Really?" Zu Anbang somewhat admired Fan Lixin's decisiveness and ruthlessness, and he took action immediately. "You can explain these words to Mr. Yu. I am easy to discuss, but Mr. Yu is not that good-tempered."
Zu Anbang snorted coldly and walked away.
He usually greets people with a smile, but when his official position is threatened, he will show his fangs.
Fan Lixin looked grim and whispered: "Yu Zhi, hum, let me see what he can do to me?"
Immediately, Fan Lixin hurriedly walked towards the guest room. The young man who entered the house today is the best life-saving straw right now.
...
"Fan Lixin killed someone?" Yu Zhi was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "It is not unreasonable for him to be able to take charge of the entire Fan family in Su City. Many people cannot do this alone."
Zu Anbang also understood in his heart, he said: "Fan Lixin is quite prestigious among the students in Su City. He is a rising star among the Fan family in Jiangnan City and is also a talented person."
"Fan Lixin, where is he?" Yu Zhi asked.
Zu Anbang replied: "Still in the mansion."
"Then what are you doing standing still?"
"Master Yu, do you want it?"
"Arrest this person. Can you bear to kill someone in front of you?"
"Ke Fan..."
"Fan doesn't care. Fan can kill people at will? The person he killed was a criminal who has not yet been tried. What do you mean by murdering someone to silence him and obstructing justice? I already gave him a lot of face by not killing him first and then punishing him later."
Yu Zhi crossed his arms and looked like it was natural.
Anyone can see Fan Lixin's thoughts. The important thing is that Uncle Fu is dead. And the dead cannot speak.
With Yu Zhi's words, Zu Anbang's back instantly straightened up.
Who does Su Cheng County listen to now?
Naturally, it is the inspector censor holding Shang Fang's sword.
He has quelled banditry, solved major cases, and made extraordinary achievements many times. After returning to Kyoto, he will surely achieve success. Flatter you now, and others will protect you from now on.
Yu Zhi walked towards Fan Liren's room.
As soon as he walked outside the door, Yu Zhi smelled an extremely strong smell of medicine.
Even Yu Zhuyue's small courtyard in Beiliang City couldn't compare to this medicinal smell.
"How much medicine was used? The house is also smelling of medicine."
When you push the door open, you will be greeted by steaming mist, like the light mist in the mountains in the early morning, blocking part of the view.
Then the coughing sound came, and the continuous coughing sound lasted for a long time, as if it would never stop.
There was an extremely depressing atmosphere in the spacious room, with the smell of death everywhere.
After being sick for a long time, even the things you use and the surrounding environment become infected with the disease.
After being sick for a long time, even the heart becomes sick.
Fan Liren heard the noise coming from outside and roughly guessed what happened.
Through the light mist, Fan Liren looked at Yu Zhi. He was a handsome young man. What made him even more envious was that the young man had a vigorous and strong body.
This is what he has longed for since he was a child.
"No one has come to my room for a long time. They dislike the smell of medicine and me as a person, and are afraid that I will pass on my illness to them. So even the servants are reluctant to enter this room."
"A person as noble as you is the first."
After saying that, Fan Liren coughed violently again.
Yu Zhi said curiously: "I thought I should introduce myself, but from what you said, I already know who I am."
The reddish meridians on Fan Liren's face twitched, and he smiled silently, with some sadness in his smile.
"In the past, when the illness was not so serious, I have seen most of the young people in Sucheng County, but I don't remember you. Recently, the name of the Supervisor and Censor in Sucheng County has spread a lot, and the servants in the mansion have also It’s often mentioned, and I’ve heard it a lot.”
Yu Zhi smiled and said, "So, I'm quite famous."
Yu Zhi then said: "Since you know me, you should also know what my purpose is here."
Fan Liren was half lying on the bed, his plain white clothes looking a little thin. He said calmly: "Where's Uncle Fu?"
"died."
"died?"
"Don't get me wrong, I actually want him to live more. Your brother Fan Lixin doesn't want him to speak, so kill him. You are a pretty good brother."
"Idiot." Fan Liren cursed softly, "Doing more obvious things will only cover up the obvious."
Yu Zhi said: "He is willing to do this for you. It seems that you two brothers have a good relationship."
Fan Liren chuckled, with a little sarcasm on his face. "maybe."
Will the brotherhood be good if we don't see each other for a year?
Fan Lixin just wanted to preserve the reputation of the Fan family.
Fan Liren knew it very well and said: "Lixin, he has known how to weigh the pros and cons since he was a child. The death of a servant will cause the least loss to the Fan family. But he is often too smart, and he will lose his mind if he values the pros and cons too much."
Yu Zhi asked curiously: "If it were you, what would you do?"
Fan Liren looked at Yu Zhi again and said: "There is no need to hide it. There are some things that you can't hide even if you want to. People who know clearly know it. Just ask those who know it to quiet down and keep silent."
Yu Zhi thought about it carefully and couldn't help but nodded, thinking: Although Fan Liren has been in the hospital bed for a long time, he can see more clearly.
"So, how can you silence me? Kill me? I think the best way is to kill me. Only dead people cannot speak. But you obviously can't do this."
"Killing, I am a scholar, I don't like killing people." Fan Liren said with a superior arrogance. Scholars are a bit arrogant, especially those from a noble family like the Fan family.
Yu Zhi sneered and said, "So, you think the death of those children has nothing to do with you?"
Fan Liren was silent, and the coughing sound sounded again, as if he had been stabbed in a sore spot. This coughing lasted for a long time.
It wasn't until Fan Liren straightened his breathing that he slowly said, "I've said too much. Back to the topic, how can Lord Yu keep silent?"
"Why do you think I will keep silent?" Yu Zhi said with a smile, "I always think that life for life is the truth."
"Every secret has value. As long as the value is enough, some secrets will always be buried in the dark underground." Fan Liren said, "Master Yu, what do you think?"
Yu Zhi nodded and agreed: "You are right. So, what kind of ending do you want?"
Fan Liren's eyes shone with light and his expression was firm.
"I want to live!"
