Chapter 4 Faces
Li Futai's knife-like eyes fixed on Zhang Xiancheng's eyebrows: "Did you kill my son?"

Zhang Xiancheng's eyes trembled slightly, and he denied it flatly: "Sir, don't listen to her nonsense! I have always loved Mr. Li, how could I do such an outrageous thing for my own selfishness?"

This time, Li Futai didn't bother to listen to his explanation, so he tore open his robe at lightning speed, and found a few drops of dried blood on his chest, but he was not injured. Where did the blood come from? It couldn't be more obvious.

Li Futai was so angry that he kicked him on all fours, took out a paper document, and smashed it on his head: "You have no conscience! In order to get the position of county magistrate, you have to do something! So many nasty things! You...do you know...I originally recommended you to be the next magistrate! You are smarter than Nian Zhengyuan, and more qualified than Nian Zhengyuan, even though I and he are the future In-laws, but I never thought of using the well-being of the common people as my son's betrothal gift!"

Zhang Xiancheng held up the appointment document with his name written on it with both hands, and slumped on the ground...

"Everyone adopts a son who hopes to be smart, but I was fooled by being smart all my life." ——Su Shi.

When leaving Li's mansion, Yueya'er had already climbed up the treetops.

Huazhu raised her eyes to look at the starry sky, folded her arms and took a deep breath, closed her eyes, took another deep breath, then opened her eyes, and found that the black sky was still dark and boundless, without the disgusting blood mist permeating it. Only then did Huazhu truly confirm that she had regained her new life.

Nian Zhengyuan turned his head and saw his daughter weeping silently with her arms folded, thinking she was sad, he quickly took off his cloak and put it on her body: "Don't be sad, you have found the real culprit behind the scenes, Mr. Li Quan If you know, you will definitely feel gratified.”

Huazhu nodded. To them, she was only in a coma for half an hour, but to her, after more than 20 years of blood and rain, Mr. Li had long since disappeared from her heart.She found out the real culprit, but she wanted to avoid repeating the mistakes of her previous life.

Of course, there is also an unexpected harvest-my father became the next county magistrate!
The two were about to step into the carriage when Nian Zhengyuan suddenly asked, "By the way, Hua Zhu, why do I feel weird listening to you?"

Huazhu was stunned: "Strange? Where is the blame?" Could it be that the tone was too mature?

Nian Zhengyuan frowned and thought for a while: "Hmm... I can't tell what's wrong, it just seems to remind me of your uncle and the others."

Huazhu's eyebrows twitched. Too bad, she has lived in the capital for more than 20 years, and she already has a northern accent. Now that she has been reborn in the south, she has to be more careful when speaking Mandarin.

Huazhu smiled, and imitated Nian Zhengyuan's tone and said, "Did you hear me wrong, father."

Nian Zhengyuan nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, it's almost the same as me now."

At this time, a lonely and thin figure passed by, it was Liao Zicheng.

Liao Zicheng's father used to be a well-known pusher in the county, and he had a classmate with Li Futai, which is why before he left, Li Futai invited Liao Zicheng to the banquet. In his heart, he probably hoped that everyone would see him in the future. For his sake, don't embarrass Liao Zicheng too much.

Previously, she was busy solving the case and didn't look at Liao Zicheng, but now, Huazhu saw that something was wrong, he seemed to be dressed too plainly!And what is he holding in his arms?Hiding it, as if afraid of being discovered by others.

"What date is it today?" Hua Zhu asked Xiang Nian Zhengyuan.

"The third day of September."

Hua Zhu looked in the direction where Liao Zicheng was leaving. It was so late, it seemed that he was not heading home, but...

Tilting her head, Huazhu quickly caught up with her!
"Zicheng! Where are you going?"

This name has not been called for many years, Huazhu herself feels strange, but besides this, it seems that she can't find a more suitable address.

When Mrs. Liao was alive, the two families had a close relationship. She and Liao Zicheng were childhood sweethearts, and they ate together, touched fish, climbed trees and played tricks together.It's just that after Master Liao passed away, Liao Zicheng was taken back to his family to be raised, and the two broke off contact.

Although Liao Zicheng and the old lady moved back later, for some reason, the two families didn't have much contact.

Liao Zicheng's footsteps paused slightly, as if he also felt that the "Zi Cheng" was very strange, but he ignored Hua Zhu, and walked forward without even turning his head.

Hua Zhu raised her eyebrows, she didn't seem to offend Liao Zicheng, why did he seem to dislike her?
"Zicheng, are you going to offer incense to the old lady?"

Liao Zicheng's back stiffened, and Huazhu knew that she had guessed right.

The third day of September is the anniversary of Mrs. Liao's death.

No wonder he was dressed so plainly, and what he was holding in his arms must have been incense candles and the like.

"Zicheng, if you don't mind, I want to accompany you to offer incense to the old lady."

Unexpectedly, Liao Zicheng only paused briefly, and then quickened the pace of his feet, as if he didn't want Huazhu to follow at all.

Hua Zhu frowned, lifted her skirt and started trotting, the back of her head was already injured, even if it wasn't serious, the bumps and jolts were really painful.

Huazhu has been pampered and raised in the palace for many years, how has she ever suffered such a hardship?

But after running a few steps, he gasped in pain, but Liao Zicheng didn't understand the elm bump at all, and ran straight forward.

Huazhu became anxious, and said in a low voice: "I just want to offer incense sticks to the old lady, and express my feelings! I have no other intentions, Liao Zicheng, you give me... stop!"

Liao Zicheng was stunned, then turned around abruptly, and looked at Huazhu sharply: "After what your Nian family did to me, you, Nianhuazhu, what right do you have to tell me to stop? Who are you?"

There were too many hidden meanings hidden in that gaze, like a big net intertwined with flames, burning Huazhu's eyes slightly painful.

Hua Zhu's throat slid, and she retorted: "That kind of thing? What is it? What did our Nian family do to you? I haven't reported you as Zhang Xiancheng's accomplice just now! Why are you talking about our Nian family instead? Isn't it?"

"When was I his accomplice?"

"If it wasn't an accomplice, why did you deliberately miss the most important clue? You know that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, and you also knew that the murderer had hidden a blood-stained veil! But you didn't say it! You...you made it clear that you don't want us to catch you Really murderous!"
