"Master Su requests a retrial of the murder case of Mr. Su Che and his family." Zhuge Yu's face was as dark as water. "Fang Zilan, if you know something, it's not too late to tell it now."
"A Yu, what do you want me to say?" Fang Zilan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Su Yun has new evidence, which can be regarded as leading you out of death. In this case, you continue to investigate..."
"Us?" Zhuge Yu's expression grew colder, "Fang Zilan, do you think you can stay out of the matter without saying anything?"
"I never wanted to stay out of the matter." Fang Zilan looked calm, "I won't say anything, just because it's not necessary. The case of the murder of Mr. Su Che and his family can be investigated. But Su Yuexi, please forgive me for having no comment."
"Why..." As soon as Zhuge Yufu opened his mouth, Fang Zilan stopped him, "For the sake of the deceased's rest in peace."
Zhuge Yu's expression froze and he murmured: "If we can't give justice to Miss Yuexi of the Su family, how can she rest in peace?"
Fang Zilan's hand hidden in her sleeve clenched into a fist. If she checked Su Yuexi, she would definitely find out Xia Houyan. They died miserably and managed to save their posthumous reputation. Now, for the sake of justice, nothing will be left. ?
"A Yu." Fang Zilan heard her voice, heavy and depressed, "That is something that the Duke of Yue can only know first. If I stand up and say it, what will be the consequences? Have you ever thought about it?"
"Sister Lan..." Zhuge Yu opened his mouth, as if he had made up his mind, "If you have any concerns, it's still too late to retreat now."
He paused as he spoke, "You know what King Rongan has done. Now King Yucheng wants to get to the bottom of it. No matter what the truth is, it must be made public."
Fang Zilan pursed her lips tightly, but in the end she turned and left without saying anything.
The first thing she did after leaving the posthouse was to contact Lin Jian and hand him over to the custody of Murong Qing's Silver Armor Army.
"Since I have an appointment with you, I will never tell you what happened in Linjia Village back then." Lin Jian frowned, "Why do you have to keep me here?"
"To save your life." Fang Zilan sat opposite Lin Jian, poured a cup of tea and took a sip.
"I don't understand." Lin Jian frowned even more tightly, "I heard that His Highness King Yucheng and Master Zhuge are here, as well as Master Su back then. Aren't they just here to find out the truth? The truth is about to come to light. …”
"Not necessarily." Fang Zilan shook his head and said quietly: "They don't know who they are facing yet."
"Who?" Lin Jian was confused. Fang Zilan curled her lips, but there was an obvious cold look in her eyes. "The people who know them best in the world are their relatives."

Su Yun looked at the person in front of him, suppressed the anger in his chest, and said coldly: "Tell me, who sent you here?"
"Your Majesty, Master Su." The man dressed as a guard looked respectful, but in fact he was arrogant. "Master Su said that if the young master continues to be so stubborn, it will be a matter of time that the Su family is ruined. Rather than doing this, it is better to end it as soon as possible. He has already done this. You have written your resignation."
"Father, are you... threatening me?" Su Yun gritted his teeth, and the guard raised his eyes slightly, "It's not a threat. The young master is not suitable for officialdom. Master Su just fulfilled his responsibilities as a father and chose a better path for you. .”
"A better way?" Su Yun sneered, "Father, did you think so when you sent your uncle's family to leave Beijing?"
"Everything Lord Su does is for the Su family." The guard raised his head, looked at Su Yun levelly and said, "As long as someone is chosen by Lord Su, that is the best way."
"Bastard!" Su Yun swept the pen, ink, paper and inkstone off the desk, but the guard just looked at him coldly without any reaction, like a stiff puppet.
"My lord, Sir Su's patience is limited. He only gives you three days." The guard relayed: "If my lord has not changed his mind after three days, he will only be offended."
Su Yun's face was full of disbelief, and he subconsciously took two steps back, teetering on the verge of collapse.
At the same time, Zhuge Yu looked at the uninvited guest in the room with a very ugly expression on his face, "What did grandfather say?"
"Boss Zhuge ordered me to tell the second young master to return to the capital as soon as possible and not to stir up the muddy waters in the southeast." The young man stood with his head bowed, "I also ask the second young master not to embarrass me."
"If I don't go back to the capital, how will you stay?" Zhuge Yu said every word as if squeezed out from between his teeth. The boy remained indifferent, "The second young master has been in poor health since he was a child. Now that he can't survive the storm in the capital, he will commit suicide." Please go back to your hometown in Jiang’an to recuperate.”
Zhuge Yu bit his lips tightly, his face as white as paper, "Grandpa...really said that?"
"Yes." The boy replied resolutely. With one simple word, Zhuge Yu fell into an ice cave and never saw the light of day again.
As for Li Qiyou, who went to visit him in prison, he felt even more mixed emotions when he saw Fu Congnan kneeling upright in front of him.
"Your Majesty, if you want my life, just take it." Fu Congnan said vigorously: "But the Queen Mother and the Dugu family are still waiting for you to return to Beijing. You must not delay it in the southeast..."
"Fu Congnan!" Li Qiyou leaned down and grabbed Fu Congnan's shirt through the prison railings. "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I'm guilty, I admit it!" Fu Congnan said as if he were dead: "But everything has nothing to do with the Dugu family, and it has nothing to do with you, the prince..."
"Of course your crime has nothing to do with me." Li Qiyou looked angry, but Fu Congnan laughed to himself, "Your Majesty, do you really think that it has nothing to do with you?"
"What do you mean?" Li Qiyou felt vaguely uneasy, but it was too late.
Just listen to Fu Congnan loudly say: "The Dugu family is not innocent, and neither is the Queen Mother. Why do you think you can get out of the mud and remain untainted?"
Li Qiyou loosened his grip, but Fu Congnan had no intention of letting him go. "Before His Majesty ascended the throne, the two empresses in the palace did a lot of things. Even after His Majesty ascended the throne, the overt and covert fighting never stopped. For what reason, the prince did not do you know?"
"I..." Li Qiyou seemed to have lost all his strength, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground.
"My lord, are you afraid?" Fu Congnan had an expected expression on his face, "The swamp in the southeast is not suitable for you. If you don't want to get stains that will never be washed away, you'd better return to Beijing as soon as possible."
There was a roar of thunder, and in front of another cell door, Hongtai raised his eyebrows, looking at the extremely weak man inside, and moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
"Tsk, I didn't notice all night, Mr. Pei, you made yourself look like this." Hongtai opened the lock neatly and muttered, "If she finds out, she might say something."
It was as if he didn't notice the person coming behind him with a knife.
