At noon, Fang Zian saw Zhang Xiaoxiang's mother and Aunt Zhang who accompanied her in a private room on the second floor of Sihai Restaurant. In fact, Fang Zian had already seen the two elderly people leaving half an hour ago. They arrived here. However, they did not enter Sihai Restaurant. Instead, they stood under a tree on one side of the street and waited quietly for the appointed time.

Fang Zian could see clearly from the window of the box. From this small gesture, Fang Zian knew the origin of Zhang Xiaoxiang's well-educated temperament. She came early because she was eager to see her. , but she kept her promise and would not rush in rashly.

Fang Zian did not go down to call them up because Fang Zian had to make sure that no one was following them. In fact, Shen Ling'er followed them from a distance shortly after they went out to check if there were any tails behind them. They were standing next to the street. This is the best time to observe and judge, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong during this meeting. Therefore, Fang Zian could only let the two old women stand on the hot street and wait until Shen Ling'er returned to the box. After telling Fang Zian that everything was normal, Fang Zian asked the restaurant clerk to go to the street to invite them in. This was actually the agreed time.

Mrs. Zhang is in her fifties, with a plump figure and graceful demeanor. Even when her family suffered drastic changes, she still remained calm. However, her light makeup could not hide her slightly swollen eyelids and bloodshot eyes. When they arrived at Fang Zian and Shen Ling'er, they couldn't hide the eagerness in their eyes.

"I've met Auntie Zhang." Fang Zian came forward and saluted with his hands raised. Shen Ling'er also saluted beside her.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly bowed and said, "Are the two young masters just from the capital?"

Fang Zian nodded and said: "Exactly. We were entrusted by Zhang Zhuangyuan to come to Wuhu to find out what happened."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Fang Zian and Shen Ling'er with a somewhat inquiring look on her face. She nodded and said, "What do you call the two young masters?"

"My surname is Fang, and this is Mr. Shen. We are all friends of Zhang Zhuangyuan." Fang Zian said.

"It turns out it's Mr. Fang and Mr. Shen. Thank you for your hard work. Is it really my son who asked you to come?" Mrs. Zhang nodded and said.

Fang Zian saw the suspicion and distrust in her expression, and understood that Mrs. Zhang must be much more cautious than that Aunt Zhang. So he reached into his arms and took out an emerald green sachet and a letter. and handed it to Mrs. Zhang.

"Aunt Zhang, this thing was given to me by Brother Xiaoxiang before he left. He said that if you show it to your aunt, she will recognize it. There is also a short message written by Brother Xiaoxiang, which he asked me to deliver. It's for my aunt. Please take a look at it." Fang Zian said solemnly.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened when she saw the sachet. She stretched out her hand to take it and turned it over to look at it. Tears fell down and she said softly: "Is it his thing? I sewed it up for him when he went to study for health studies five years ago." There is a sachet on the body to ward off evil spirits and awaken the spirit. Xiaohui, take a look at it, right?"

Aunt Zhang next to her took it and took a look at it before nodding and saying: "It was indeed embroidered by Madam herself. The colorful silk threads on it are the colorful threads from Yunji that I bought on the street. Madam, you can believe it this time. Madam also said it before. They say I trust people too easily, maybe they have fooled me. But I believe it this time."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Fang Zian and Chen Ling'er, looking a little embarrassed. Mrs. Zhang spoke frankly.

Come on, I did have doubts when I listened to her report. How can I determine the identity of the two people just based on Xiaoxiang's appearance? There are countless people who have met Xiaoxiang. But even so , Mrs. Zhang still decided to come for a visit. After all, she was worried about her son's current situation and the current situation of the Zhang family, so she had to take the risk to take a look.

"I'm sorry to you two young masters, I do have some doubts, but now, after seeing this thing, I believe that the two young masters are indeed my son's friends," Mrs. Zhang said.

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Doubts are normal. How can we not be more cautious at this time. However, I suggest that aunt read the letter. The sachet can be obtained from Zhang Zhuangyuan, but Zhang Zhuangyuan can write the letter himself."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, hurriedly opened the envelope, unfolded the letter and read the letter. After reading only one sentence, she knew that this letter must be written by her son. It was not because Mrs. Zhang recognized Zhang Xiaoxiang's handwriting, but because of the title on the letter. .

The title of the letter is 'Er Niang', which is exactly what Zhang Xiaoxiang calls Mrs. Zhang. Zhang Xiaoxiang calls Mrs. Ding Niang and Mrs. Zhang 'Er Niang' at home. This is actually what Zhang Qi and Mrs. Zhang mean. .Zhang Shao died at the hands of the Jin people, leaving the Ding family helpless. The couple had no heirs. So Zhang Qi discussed with his wife and asked his only son Zhang Xiaoxiang to call the Ding family 'aunt'. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhang family only had If Zhang Xiaoxiang is a male, he must adopt a boy to be adopted by Zhang Shao. Calling Zhang Xiaoxiang this way means telling Ms. Ding that Zhang Xiaoxiang is equivalent to adopting a son for her, and there are descendants from both families. The meaning of "Ding" made Ms. Ding feel comforted. This was the sincere intention of Zhang Qi and Mrs. Zhang, and they were very thoughtful. In fact, after Zhang Xiaoxiang shouted this, Ms. Ding did feel much better and relaxed a lot. The sorrow in my heart. Apart from Zhang Xiaoxiang who wrote it himself, who can fake it?

"Er Niang, my son has learned about the accident at home. Hearing the bad news about my aunt, I felt extremely sad and cried all night long. But this is not the time to grieve. Someone is secretly framing my son and his father. The son is not free and cannot go home to deal with it himself. Please forgive me for being unfilial. Mr. Fang is my good friend and a trustworthy person. It is not convenient for me to go home to investigate this matter. Mr. Fang is loyal and helpful and is willing to help us clear our grievances. Er Niang should give us trust and cooperation to facilitate his actions. The things involved here are complicated and difficult to understand, so I cannot write too much. For relevant matters, you can ask Mr. Fang. Er Niang must be filled with sorrow and fear in her heart at this moment. Her son’s unfilial piety cannot be comforted by his side, but I hope my mother can be strong enough to deal with it. .My son believes that this matter will be revealed to the world and his grievances will be cleared. My son is filial and kowtows!"

It was indeed a very short letter. Time was tight that day and there was no room for a long speech, and the handwriting was very sloppy. But it was enough for Mrs. Zhang to know that this was an autographed letter from her son, and it was also enough to prove that Fang Zian was both a man and a woman. People are truly trustworthy.

"Auntie, are you relieved now? It is inconvenient for Zhang Zhuangyuan to go home now, but he is very safe now. Some of these things cannot be explained for a while. In short, the current situation is that we suspect that someone is trying to frame Zhang Zhuangyuan.

And starting from Mr. Zhang, Zhang Zhuangyuan was implicated by falsely accusing Mr. Zhang of murder and collaborating with the enemy. I came here to find out about this matter," Fang Zian said.

"Mr. Fang, I... I would like to thank Mr. Fang." Mrs. Zhang said as she knelt down to express her thanks, but Fang Zian quickly stopped her.

"Auntie, you are hurting me like this. Zhang Zhuangyuan and I are friends, how can I ignore his affairs?"

Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears and said, "According to what you say, will my son also be implicated?"

Fang Zian said: "In fact... their purpose is to bring down Zhang Zhuangyuan. I will let Zhang Zhuangyuan tell you the specific situation in the future. The most important thing now is to

Find out the facts. Mr. Zhang should be escorted to the capital in the next two days. If he is interrogated by the Ministry of Justice and found guilty, it will be difficult to overturn the case. So I must quickly obtain strong evidence to prove my innocence in order to solve this matter."

Mrs. Zhang nodded slowly and said: "You two gentlemen, I understand. But how can I help you? After what happened, everything was in a mess. I was confused and didn't know what happened inside."

Fang Zian said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will take care of this. I actually went to your house last night to inspect the house where Aunt Ding died."

"Ah? Have you already gone?" Mrs. Zhang said in surprise.

"Forgive us for trespassing into your house, but we don't want to alarm anyone. We looked at the scene, and although we didn't find any particularly favorable evidence, we found that there seemed to be blood stains under the bed. We suspected that it was Ding's blood. They said it was

Mr. Zhang strangled Mrs. Ding to death, pretending to be a natural death. But the blood stains are difficult to explain. In other words, Mrs. Ding may have had another cause of death. I would like to ask, did any of you check and examine Mrs. Ding before she was buried?

Have you ever seen her body? Did you find any blood in the house?" Fang Zian asked quickly.

Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhang next to her both looked at Fang Zian blankly. There was so much information in Fang Zian's words that they did not react for a moment.

It took a while for Mrs. Zhang to understand, and she said in a deep voice: "No... we could touch my sister-in-law's body until the burial. After what happened that day, the house was clean. People from the Yamen were always inside, and we

No one was allowed to get close. The autopsy worker said he had been hanged. When we went in later, they showed us the marks on the sister-in-law's neck that had been strangled with a rope. The government took the body to the Yamen, saying it was for further investigation.

Check to see if there is anything else going on. Xiaomei, who was serving the sister-in-law, went to take care of her, but she didn’t come back either. They only asked someone to come back and said that the mistress was gone. She didn’t come back either, and went back to the countryside. The Yamen called us.

We prepared a coffin, because it was a person who died suddenly and could not be buried at home, so we buried him directly. We took one last look before the burial, but we couldn't tell anything."

Fang Zian nodded slowly. It turned out that from beginning to end, except for the maid named Xiaomei, no one in the Zhang family had the opportunity to touch Ding's body. Naturally, there was no way to check the cause of death. The house was cleaned and the blood stains of the deceased were found.

Cleaning up, these things must have been done before, so the Zhang family never noticed it later. After all, they only realized it with the help of flies.

"Aunt, if this is the case, I... I'm afraid I have to make a rude and unkind request. I know this request is too much, but it is extremely important for my subsequent investigation. The only way to find out what Ding's identity is

What is the cause of death so that the testimony they framed Master Zhang is contradictory? Aunt Zhang, can we... open an autopsy?" Fang Zian said in a deep voice.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Fang Zian in shock, and Aunt Zhang shouted from the side: "That can't be done. Isn't this disrespectful to Sister Ding? People have been buried in the ground, why dig them out?"

Fang Zian frowned and said, "I know this is disrespectful to the deceased, but I have no other choice."

Aunt Zhang shouted: "The digging of graves will bring bad luck and retribution. It's impossible, but you are outrageous."

"Xiao Hui!" Mrs. Zhang shouted in a deep voice: "Xiao Hui, don't say any more, just follow Mr. Fang's words."

"Madam!" Aunt Zhang shouted.

"Needless to say, if there is retribution, I will bear it. My sister-in-law has a spirit in heaven. If you blame me for this offense, blame it entirely on my sister. I will bear it alone." Mrs. Zhang's voice was soft but firm.
