Chapter 100 Father's Determination

The inspection did not find anything unusual, so he calmed down, still frowning and thinking carefully.

Someone reminded: "My lord, this kind of abnormality, whether it is good or bad, is not something we can deal with. It must be reported to the county and government immediately."

The inspector immediately came to his senses, and waved his hand: "Seal the water temple, and no one is allowed to enter—you are a scholar, so don't make noise, you all leave!"

Su Ziji smiled, if it wasn't for the fact that the ghost disappeared when the white light appeared, and he threw the corpse into the dry well, he would have gotten into some trouble.

In a blink of an eye, Ding Ruili was nowhere to be seen.

"There must be something wrong with Ding Ruili, and he must find a way to find out when he goes back." Su Ziji was a little tired at this time, and did not go looking for the whereabouts. Besides, now that the aura of the water temple has attracted the attention of the townspeople and officials, Su Ziji doesn't want to stay here. Trouble here.

Immediately retreated and called the bullock cart back to the house, but what happened, even the coachman couldn't help talking about it on the road and asked what he saw.

Su Ziji replied helplessly: "I just walked around outside and saw a light inside. I thought there was something strange, so I hurried out."

"Hey! That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to go in." The coachman understood, and didn't ask any more questions. He didn't expect that the person sitting in the car was the instigator of this incident.

Linhua County·Tanjia

After running around for a day and a night, the bullock cart brought Ding Ruili to the gate of Tan's house in Linhua County. Ding Ruili looked a little tired, and looked around.

The street is quite prosperous, of course it cannot be compared with Fucheng, so Ding Ruili ordered the coachman to come forward and knock on the door.

After a long time, an old voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"I have your son's whereabouts, and I'm here to tell you." Ding Ruili said outside.

There was silence for a while, and then the door opened, and it was Tan Youshan who came out.

Although he was getting older at first, his back was straight and his face had the majesty of being in the judicial system for a long time. He was an old head catcher who was praised by everyone, but now, in less than two months, he seemed to be ten years older.

The sharp edges and corners became loose, and the white hair fell down. He looked at Ding Ruili, and after a while, he turned around with a blank expression, and motioned to follow: "Come in."

Ding Ruili didn't mind his attitude, entered the room, refused the tea, and said, "Let's gossip, I'm here to tell you that your son is dead."

"Don't talk nonsense!" The old man who had a dull expression and no brilliance in his eyes suddenly turned around and stared at him with a stern look in his eyes, like a lone wolf lost in the pack!

"My son is alive and well, don't curse him!"

"Old man, why should you deceive yourself? Your son, Tan An, offended Su Ziji not long ago, not only lost his job, but also left home angrily. Something." Ding Ruili said slowly with deep eyes.

Tan Youshan was silent for a moment, then said: "You are right, I have a hunch. But, you say my son is dead, what evidence do you have?"

"Evidence, this is written evidence." Ding Ruili took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Tan Youshan.

Tan Youshan knew how to read, so he took it and unfolded it. It was indeed Tan An's handwriting. It roughly said that he had an appointment with Su Ziji. If he couldn't return, he must have been killed by him. There was a date underneath, which turned out to be yesterday.

With trembling hands, he looked up at Ding Ruili.

Ding Ruili did not look at his tearful face, and continued: "Because of hatred for taking his wife, Tan An asked Su Ziji to meet behind the water temple in Shuiyuan Town. Who knew that Su Ziji would be so angry Killed people, killed Tan An, and hid the body in the dry well of the water temple."

"Although I saw it with my own eyes at the time, I was afraid of silence, so I could only hide in the dark. Now I'm telling you, old man, just to keep you in the dark."

"After all, a white-haired person sending a black-haired person is really a bitter thing in life. Tan An is your only son, and Su Ziji killed him. This is not only a murder, but also cut off the incense of your Tan family. It is a great hatred."

"You don't need to say any more." Tan Youshan interrupted him suddenly, his eyes were cold, he is an old head catcher, he has seen too much, this provocation can be seen at a glance.

But this person is right, Tan An is his only son, and if he dies, he will cut off the incense of the Tan family. This is a sworn enemy.

"You have worked hard from afar, just tell me how to deal with Su Ziji."

Of course Tan Youshan knew that this matter was strange, and even his son's departure was strange, but even so, if Su Ziji really killed his son, he would never end with him.

Seeing him on the road, Ding Ruili was satisfied: "Su Ziji participated in Qiuwei in August, you can go and sue during Qiuwei, Qiuwei is a national talent ceremony, and the imperial court has a special supervisor to supervise it, which is equivalent to an imperial envoy!"

"You beat the drums to disturb Qiu Wei. At that time, the school superintendent will join the provincial government to investigate. Even if someone wants to suppress this matter, it is absolutely impossible."

"You go to sue now, one by one, the county magistrate may not help you, and the magistrate may not accept it."

This is quite right, Tan Youshan is just an old official, he is very dignified to the common people, but to the government, he is just a shrimp.

As it was related to the case of a government, the county magistrate would definitely not accept it immediately, and going beyond the county magistrate to sue Su Ziji did not comply with the laws of the Zheng Dynasty.

When are there exceptions?That is to say, at the time of Ruqiuwei, when the students who participated in the imperial examination were involved, the matter directly became a big problem.

Of course, the consequences are also very serious. Whether right or wrong, Tan Youshan cannot escape responsibility.

"If Su Ziji really killed my son, I promise you." Knowing that something was wrong, Tan Youshan was silent for a while, and Shen Shen responded.

Ding Ruili was satisfied after hearing this, and thought to himself: "As long as Tan Youshan charges forward, no matter whether he sues or not, Su Ziji will not be able to participate in the imperial examination at least in this session."

Although he was driven by magic, he only insisted on dealing with Su Ziji, other things were not only sober, but also tainted with demon nature, becoming more and more sinister and cunning.

After Ding Ruili left, Tan Youshan sat blankly in the dark, his eyes gleaming faintly.

"Dad, I can ride a horse."

"Dad, I will be the same as my father in the future."

"Father, I'm finally on a business trip. This is the iron ruler I received."

Tan An's past seemed to be still in front of him. I don't know how much time passed. Tan Youshan wiped his face, only to realize that his face was full of tears, and immediately rummaged through all the money he had saved.

"I will use my lifelong relationship to investigate. No matter who kills my son, I will never end with you."

Of course Tan Youshan is aware of the strangeness and consequences of this matter, but if Tan An is really dead, what's the point of everything?

Tan Youshan has worked for the public all his life, and he may have missed something, but he can point to his conscience and say that he has not intentionally wronged anyone, so he has naturally accumulated a lot of connections and favors.

At this time, all have to be used. This is the grief and determination of a father!
