Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 345 Insidious mind, showdown
North courtyard, main hall.

Xue Jingrong fell silent after hearing what her grandson said.

Zeng Yufan waited beside him in fear, not daring to say anything, and secretly winked at Xue Shou.

Xue Shou hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Grandfather, my cousin was just confused about raising the dancing girl, but fortunately he didn't make any big mistakes, so don't worry about it..."

"Shou, don't help him!"

Xue Jingrong glared at Zeng Yufan bitterly, "Is it just to support dancers? Tell me honestly, did you kill this person?"

"No, of course not!"

Zeng Yufan lifted his robe and knelt down on the ground, "It's all for outsiders, why don't you even believe in grandpa and grandson, I really didn't kill people, why should I just kill them?"

"What if it was for the public funds for repairing the river nine years ago?"

Xue Jingrong's turbid eyes froze suddenly, and said sharply: "Don't think that I don't know what you did back then..."

"What... what can I do?"

The words Xiuhe public funds were like a boulder on Zeng Yufan's heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but then he thought of the murder case, and he spoke with some confidence, "Grandfather, those old sesame seeds and rotten millet things have long passed, and you What are you bringing it up for?"

"I mention it to give you a clue."

Xue Jingrong was furious, coughed twice, Xue Shou hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to him, he shook his head and pushed it away, and continued to say to Zeng Yufan: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world, but if you do something, it is impossible to leave no trace. "

"You are a small clerk, how dare you accept bribes in the name of the government office, and even unite with the people under you to use the public funds for the river repair."

"If it wasn't for Parkin..."

Speaking of this person, Xue Jingrong's voice stopped abruptly, her complexion changed, and she said calmly: "Didn't Qi Xiang notice something and tell me, I tried my best to cover it up for you, do you think you can get out of your body?"

"Qi Xiang..."

Zeng Yufan knelt straight and said angrily, "So it was he who secretly informed me that caused me to be driven back to Dunyang by you?"

A look of anger flashed across his eyes, and he gritted his teeth: "I knew it, I should have thought it was his, this wolf-hearted thing, if it weren't for your support, how could he sit in such an important position."

"In the end, he turned his head and bit me... I knew he should have killed him when he came to Yunzhou..."

"enough!"

Xue Jingrong heard him talking more and more out of tune, and interrupted him angrily: "What time is it, you are still full of selfish and vicious arguments in your head, get out, get out!"

"Grandfather..."

Zeng Yufan was still not reconciled, and wanted to say something, Xue Jingrong stared wide-eyed, and shouted: "Get lost—"

As he spoke, he picked up the tray on the low table beside the bed and threw it at him.

A series of violent movements and emotions caused him to arch his body, coughing so hard that his lungs were piercing, Xue Shou hurried forward to comfort him, turned his head and said to Zeng Yufan: "Cousin, you go out first."

"Then grandfather will be taken care of by cousin Lao."

Zeng Yufan's expression was indifferent, he snorted coldly, got up and walked out of the main hall, Xue Shou sighed when he saw his figure walking away quickly, "After all, it's a family, why should grandfather be angry with him, it's not worth it to be so angry. "

"Damn things..."

Xue Jingrong was supported by him and sat back on the soft pillow again, her breath was short of breath, and it took her a while to recover.

"Ah Shou, you don't know."

"That kid Yufan has been thoughtful since he was a child, he is bold and reckless in his actions, and he doesn't care about the consequences. I can see this, and I have never dared to let him intervene in important affairs, but even so, he still caused trouble..."

He was an honest and upright official for half his life, but he had selfishness in this matter.

Although he secretly made up for the missing silver taels before the accident, he still felt uneasy.

Only then managed to drive Yufan back to Dunyang.

Stay away from officialdom and be a rich and idle person.

Unexpectedly, nine years have passed, and the child has never let go of it in his heart.

"Cousin, he..."

Xue Shou hesitated and said: "Sooner or later, he will understand the love and love of his grandfather. Right now, you should take care of your illness..."

"Ah."

Xue Jingrong closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Shou, I want to sleep for a while, you can go."

"it is good."

Xue Shou helped him to lie down cooperatively, tucked in the corner of the quilt, put down the curtain, and quietly retreated out, followed by a muffled creaking sound from the door.

Xue Jingrong slowly opened her eyes, quietly looking at the top of the bed curtain.

The imperial envoy tracked down the murder case and found Xue's house...and brought Zeng Yufan here from Dunyang on purpose, which had a deep intention and really made him uneasy.

Could it be... the murderer is really at Xue's house?
Here Xue Jingrong was tossing and turning, and the conversation between him and Zeng Yufan and the others reached Yan Yun and the others verbatim.

He had just finished drinking the soup, and wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, "The person who inquired about the news is back?"

"It should be soon."

Standing by the side, Zhu Yan replied cautiously.

Yan Yun nodded silently, threw the handkerchief aside, picked up the official document on the table, flipped through two pages, then closed it again, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

Zhu Yan: "Master, what's the matter?"

Yan Yun didn't answer, walked around the desk and walked to the back, picked up a pen and wrote a few sentences on the paper, and said softly, "Send this out."

Zhu Yan took it and glanced at it casually, and said in surprise: "Master, you want to move the people over there?"

"Go."

"Yes."

Not daring to delay, Zhu Yan hurriedly went to deliver the letter. After he left, Qichi came out from the back hall, holding a big cloak in his arms, and began to put it on for Yan Yun.

"Young Master, is he being too cautious? After all, that Li Jing is surrounded by top experts."

"The imperial court is in chaos, and people's hearts are in turmoil, so we must guard against it."

Yan Yun replied lightly.

Xi Chi glanced at him, and tentatively said, "Young master, why didn't you tell the girl that we are leaving soon, and this case must be settled quickly."

"In time."

Mingjing and Huizhi's deaths will soon be revealed. Before leaving Yunzhou, he still needs to meet someone.

"Let's go."

After getting things done, Yan Yun led Xichi out of the post house, not knowing where he was going.

Flick two days.

Yinxuewei, who went to Shanyin to investigate the news, came back on horseback, bringing the truth that everyone was looking forward to.

After hearing this, Su Rao went to the North Courtyard with Yan Yun.

Xue Jingrong, Xue Shou, and Zeng Yufan lived in the north courtyard. After getting the news, they all stayed in the main hall.

"Mr. Xue, sit down and talk."

Yan Yun asked for some charcoal pots and hot tea to be brought over, and all the parties were seated. Su Rao sat at the first place on the right. Xue Jingrong glanced at her, and then at Yan Yun.

He sighed secretly in his heart.

It really is old.

She actually really thought that she was just an ordinary maid who could make the guards around Shizi obey her orders and intervene in the murder case.

Thinking of all the news he had inquired about, he couldn't help feeling that Su Fengyan gave birth to a good daughter.

"I've asked you to come here today to talk about the two murders in Hanyang City and the death of Master Huizhi."

Yan Yun looked around, and wherever he looked, several people suddenly became nervous.
