"Of course." Fang Cai'er said loudly: "Come here, take the weapon left by the assassin and show it to Lord Yue."

After saying that, he smiled at Yue Su, with a hint of mockery in his smile, "Master Yue, even if we have evidence that the Duke of Guizhou conspired to assassinate my father, what's the use? Do you still dare to punish old thief Mu?

?”

Yue Su said calmly with an expression on his face: "I have always enforced the law like a mountain. If it is really confirmed that it was Mr. Mu who assassinated your father, I will definitely report to the court based on the book and try to find an explanation for you. If this is not possible, I would rather give up my job.

.”

"With Master Yue's words, my father can rest in peace even if he is alive in heaven. I, Fang Cai'er, would like to toast you." Miao people have always been generous, and Fang Cai'er's character is also carefree, without much care. Yue Su said this, so she just

I believe it to be true. However, Yue Su’s words are not prevarication.

Yue Su raised his glass and drank the wine with her. Soon, a Miao man brought three steel knives over. Fang Caier handed one to Yue Su, and Yue Su looked at the blade. Sure enough, it was engraved with "Yunnan General Military Mansion of the Ming Dynasty".

” words.

Slowly placing the knife on the table, Yue Su said calmly: "Chief Fang, the second case I am here to deal with is related to this knife. Do you think that the Duke of Guizhou sent someone to assassinate your father, so you are determined to take revenge?"

, and sent people to Kunming to assassinate him."

Liutai came back with Yue Su and had not yet spared the time to tell Fang Cai'er and the others about this matter. Now that Yue Su brought it up in person, Fang Cai'er and Gou Yao were shocked. It's not that Gou Yao had never thought that the imperial court would suddenly send troops to encircle and suppress them.

Because Fang Cai'er secretly sent people to assassinate Mu Qiyuan, otherwise, how could he suddenly launch an army. When he came over in the daytime, he and Liu Tai asked Fang Cai'er, but Fang Cai'er denied it. Judging from his expression, he was not lying, so he believed it.

Now that Yue Su mentioned it again, Gou Yao turned to look at Fang Cai'er to see how she would answer. Could it be that this girl was lying during the day? You know, the assassination of the Duke of Guizhou is a huge event. From what Yue Su said, it should be true.

.

"Sir." Fang Cai'er clasped her fists at Yue Su and said seriously: "When my father was mourning, I did think about sending someone to assassinate the Duke of Guizhou, but after the advice of my two uncles, after analyzing the pros and cons, and for the sake of my clan, I finally decided

Don't take action yet, wait for the opportunity. Your Excellency said that I sent people to assassinate the Duke of Guizhou. I can swear to God that this is absolutely not the case."

When Fang Cai'er was speaking, Yue Su kept staring at her expression, seeing that she was so upright and impassioned that she didn't seem to be lying. Yue Su nodded and said, "Could it be that someone wanted to avenge the old chieftain and acted privately?

, went to Kunming to assassinate the Duke of Guizhou."

Fang Cai'er shook her head and said: "Today I summoned all the men, and all the men have been named according to the roster, and there is not one missing."

"I also believe it's not you." Yue Su suddenly said this. Then he said: "You Chuancheng's troops are outside the stronghold. It is not difficult to send him away, but you must give Duke Qian an explanation. You

Under my government, it is understandable that I will take over this case. If you trust me, please follow me back to the government office. I will definitely restore your innocence and prevent San Miao from suffering the disaster."

The reason why Yue Su believed in Fang Cai'er was justified. The Duke of Guizhou's residence was heavily guarded. Although it was not as good as the imperial palace, it was certainly not inferior. Going in to assassinate the Duke of Guizhou, whether successful or not, was

There is an entrance and exit, and non-dead soldiers dare not go there.

Assassinating the Duke of Guizhou is tantamount to committing suicide. Those who go there have long been prepared that they will not survive. If they fail, they will definitely commit suicide. How can they easily confess after being captured? Those who can reveal the mastermind probably do not have the courage to enter the Duke of Guizhou.

There was an assassination attempt. So, this is definitely a flaw.

Yue Su was also a person who had read "The Deer and the Cauldron" in his previous life. The public case before him was too similar to the plot in which Prince Mu framed King Ping Xi, and it was also too fake. It might be possible to fool the ancients, but if you want to hide it, you have already lived a lifetime.

Yue Su is simply delusional.

After listening to Yue Su's words, Fang Cai'er didn't know how to answer for a moment. If she followed Yue Su, it was very likely that she would end up in a tiger's mouth. If she didn't follow, the imperial troops would be right in front of her. She couldn't make up her mind as to where to go.

At this time, it was Liu Tai who said: "Cai'er, Mr. Yue is upright and awe-inspiring. I believe he will be able to restore your innocence. If you are worried about going back, uncle, I am willing to risk my life and accompany you."

He was the one who asked Yue Su to mediate. He also saw Yue Su reprimanding You Chuancheng with his own eyes, and he firmly believed that Yue Su should give them a reasonable explanation.

Seeing Liu Tai standing on Yue Su's side, Fang Cai'er thought for a moment and said: "If you can exchange my life for the safety of the whole clan, what's the harm in my death. Lord Yue, I just hope that you can keep your word.

Promise me that as long as I go with you, you will not embarrass my people."

When Liu Tai finished speaking, Fang Cai'er had been weighing it. Thinking that at this moment, Yue Su dared not fear life and death and went to the meeting alone. If it was to deceive herself, he would be too courageous. To have such courage

He is also a good man and should be trustworthy.

"Chief Fang, please rest assured that I will never break my promise. Not only will I not make things difficult for your people, I will also give you a fair trial. As long as you are innocent, I will definitely restore your innocence." Yue Su said calmly.

"Okay! Then Cai'er will go with Mr. Yue."

Yue Su nodded and said: "I have one more thing to ask Chieftain Fang. Your Majesty did not enter the city alone that day. There were followers around you. I wonder if there were any survivors among them when they were ambushed. Also,

Since the assassin left weapons behind, he must be dead, but where are the bodies?"

Fang Cai'er answered truthfully: "My father brought six tribesmen with him when he entered the city. Fang Ji came back to report that Fang Cha was seriously injured. Three of the other party's dead members were cut into pieces with random knives and thrown into the woods to feed the dogs.

"

Hearing this answer, Yue Sunai smiled. He originally wanted to find some clues from the assassin's body, but now it seems that there is no hope. He could only say: "Then please ask Fang Ji and Fang Cha to come with me.

These three knives are physical evidence and must be brought along."

"no problem."

After a simple dinner in the hall, Yue Su did not rest. He immediately said that he would take Fang Cai'er and Fang Ji with him, and Fang Cha went to You Chuancheng's camp first, and then returned to the city overnight.

Fang Cai'er explained and asked Liu Tai and Gou Yao to stay in the village temporarily to help take care of them, and then left with Yue Su.

Although Fang Cha was injured, he had basically recovered after nearly a month of rest. Everyone rode on horseback and quickly arrived at You Chuancheng's camp.

You Chuancheng had just had dinner at this time. Hearing that Yue Su was back, he asked someone to invite him in. Yue Su led Fang Cai'er into the Chinese army tent and said straight to the point: "General You, Fang Cai'er, the chieftain of Fangzhai, has come with me.

Assist in the investigation of the assassination of Duke Qian. It is now confirmed that Fangzhai has rebelled. How to deal with it will be decided after the case comes to light. I will write a letter and state the interests. You will forward it to Mr. Zhang. Please

He withdraws his troops."

You Chuancheng said with a smile: "Master Yue said this, it's the best. We soldiers don't want to shed blood, after all, we are all raised by our parents." Then he shouted: "Here comes someone!

Pen and ink serve.”

When the pen and ink came, Yue Su wrote a letter in a blur. The general content was: Assassinating a court official, if the evidence of the crime is conclusive, will implicate the entire clan, which is right. However, it is difficult to conclude the case based on the words of the Duke of Guizhou alone. Fangzhai is in

Under the rule of this government, who will be responsible for using weapons without authorization and triggering a civil uprising? Therefore, I ask General Zhang to temporarily stop using weapons and let this government review the case first and then deal with it after finalizing the case. If General Zhang insists on going his own way and refuses to listen to dissuasion, I will

The government will report the record to the imperial court. In addition, the government will write a document tomorrow to inspect the Yamen and report the affairs here to the truth.

After handing the letter to You Chuancheng, Yue Su left immediately and returned to Fucheng with Fang Cai'er and others.

On the other side, You Chuancheng sent someone to quickly deliver Yue Su's official letter to the commander-in-chief's camp. After Zhang Yanfang read it, he had no choice but to stop the army. Even though he was the commander-in-chief, he was several levels higher than the prefect, but the civil servants had great power.

, I really kept trying to dissuade him from destroying Fangzhai, and if he was included in the book, I was afraid that he would not get even half of the credit, and would be punished. Moreover, Yue Su also said that he would write a letter to patrol the Yamen, and send troops to destroy the stronghold himself.

What was being fought was the official document of the Duke of Guizhou. Firstly, he did not notify the local government, and secondly, he did not write to the governor. Once the matter got serious and he was impeached by those nagging officials, the general soldier would not be able to do it anymore.

He threw the letter on the table and said, "Let You Chuancheng come back." After saying that, he asked someone to get some paper and pen, and wrote back a letter to Yue Su. The content was, Mr. Yue, wait until you finalize the case.

, be sure to inform this general and ask him to order troops to destroy Fangzhai. Is this a credit to the family?

In his eyes, what Yue Su did was not to grab credit. Tongren Prefect had already failed several prefects. This guy was probably afraid of following in the footsteps of his predecessors, so he grabbed the case first and then settled the case casually.

, reported to the court, saying that he had caught the rebels, and he could gain a lot of political achievements at once.

However, this time he guessed completely wrong. When Yue Su rushed back to Tongren City, it was already dark and the city gate had been closed early. After revealing his identity, the gatekeepers immediately opened the door and went all the way back to the prefect's Yamen. Yue Su asked Fang Cai'er and the other three to leave.

Stay in the back office and let the guards watch you carefully.

Early the next morning, he wrapped three steel knives engraved with "Yunnan General Military Mansion of the Ming Dynasty" and went to the residence of Princess Mu Tianjiao.

When Mu Tianjiao saw Yue Su's sudden visit, she was very puzzled, but immediately asked someone to invite him to the flower hall for tea.

After the two met, they had to follow some official etiquette, and then Mu Tianjiao asked: "Master Yue, I wonder why you suddenly came to the door today?"

Yue Su said honestly: "Back to the princess, I heard that the Duke of Guizhou was assassinated recently. I don't know if it is true, so I went to the house to consult."

"My father was assassinated!" Mu Tianjiao was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Where did Mr. Yue hear about it? Why didn't I know? How is my father now?"

From Mu Tianjiao's panicked expression, Yue Su could tell that she didn't know anything about it, so he said, "I also heard what others said. Commander-in-Chief Zhang Yanfang got a letter from your father, saying that he was assassinated by an assassin from the lower village in the past few days.

So please ask General Zhang to send troops to destroy Fangzhai. It seems that the Lord is in ill health."

"Oh, it's okay." Mu Tianjiao took a long breath, and her heart was relieved. She also had a heart for the city. She looked at Yue Su, smiled slightly, and said: "Master Yue, I miss you.

This visit is not to inquire about my father's current situation. I can see that you are also a straight-tempered person, so there is no need to beat around the bush and say what you have to say directly."

"The princess is not only generous, but also discerning, and I admire her. Since the princess asked me to speak frankly, I will tell the truth." Yue Su said with a smile: "Yesterday, General Zhang sent his deputy You Chuancheng to send troops to destroy Fangzhai, but I
Chapter completed!
