"Do you want to hear my story?" Fan Yu looked at Zuo Yunhu with indifferent eyes, "If you listened, maybe you would know that a woman like me is not worthy of a hero like you."
"Okay, I'll listen." Zuo Yunhu said, "Let's see if you have any reason to scare me away."
"When I was a teenager, I attended my cousin's hairpin banquet and met Brother Wen there." Fan Yu said about Qianchen, sometimes with sadness and sometimes with laughter.
The story is ridiculous.
The moment I saw him, I missed him for the rest of his life.
Fan Yu's cousin and Wen Yuxuan were childhood sweethearts, and their marriage had been arranged by the two families long ago.
Fan Yu lived in his cousin's house during those years and often played with his cousin, so he often saw Wen Yuxuan.
The girl was already in love with her, and after a long period of contact, she became even more deeply in love.
Suddenly one day, the son of a high-ranking official in the capital fell in love with his cousin and tried every means to send gifts and love poems. He even got news every time his cousin traveled.
My cousin was stalked and beaten by the other party, and she was really moved.
When my cousin was thinking about how to marry him, the man turned around and married the daughter of another high official. My cousin was not in good health, so she went to see him in the rain and asked him for an explanation.
My cousin went alone that day, but was brought back by Wen Yuxuan. After that, she became seriously ill and after she came back from the hell gate, the two families planned to hold a wedding for them.
Fan Yu was unwilling to give in. Even though her cousin was already like that, why did Wen Yuxuan still want to marry her?
Her love for him was so pure that she couldn't see him feeling any grievance. She felt that even if a gentleman like Wen Yuxuan didn't like her, he shouldn't be a flawed woman like her cousin.
So, she confessed her love to him.
It happened that my cousin who was seriously ill heard me.
"My cousin committed suicide in her room the night before they got married. When I went to find her in the morning, her body was already cold. Brother Wen left the capital and traveled around the world. When he finally stopped in Hubei City, it was because he fell in love with her.
Master Lu's beloved son." Fan Yu said, "My family is originally from an embroidery family, and my craftsmanship is pretty good, so I left the family and took on apprentices everywhere."
Zuo Yunhu is a rough man.
He didn't say anything nice to coax Fan Yu, but looked at her with very distressed eyes.
"You must have felt guilty these years, right?"
"I killed her."
Fan Yu raised his head and drank the last bit of wine.
"Thank you for accompanying me. Can you take me down? I want to go home."
She had no way to make up for the mistakes she made when she was young, she could only spend her whole life repaying them.
"I'll take you back."
Good times are always short-lived. Even if everyone is reluctant to leave, the days full of flavor will slip away quietly, opening a new chapter for everyone.
On the second day, Lu Yi came to Dalao.
Zhou Fugui sat in the corner and said calmly: "Master Lu finally showed up."
"I heard you were looking for me, what do you want to say?"
The yamen servant brought a stool and asked Lu Yi to sit down.
Lu Yi sat outside the cell door and looked at Zhou Fugui's old figure.
"My lord is so scheming!" Zhou Fugui raised his head, "I thought for a long time and finally understood that all this was planned by your lord. Quan Zi met Lord Wen and was led into the abyss step by step by Lord Wen. He held it in his hand.
Everything is for today."
"If you called me here just to talk nonsense, I don't have time to accompany you." Lu Yi said coldly.
"Sir, the death of your parents has nothing to do with me."
"At this time, you still dare to speak harshly." Gao Yamen said next to him, "We have found out clearly that you deceived Mr. Lu's formula and caused Mr. Lu's business to fail. After that, you went to the countryside to see him many times.
Mr. Lu, you had a dispute with Mr. Lu. After returning home, you revealed in front of your servants that you wanted to get rid of Mr. Lu, and your servants can testify."
"Those are angry words." Zhou Fugui said, "I'm just an ordinary person. Even if I love money and be greedy for money, I don't dare to kill anyone!"
"Don't you dare to kill? What you have done is more heinous than killing someone yourself." Gao Yamen said, "We have long found out what you have done over the years. You were just a boy at first, and you just stole the ancestral recipe of your employer.
You made your first bucket of money. In order to prevent your employer from blaming you, you deliberately falsely accused your employer, colluded with the county magistrate at that time, killed your employer's family, and divided their property equally. After that, you became honest for a long time, but not for a long time.
Nian, your true nature has been exposed again. Half of the Zhou family's money was obtained by stepping on other people's corpses."
"I admit it, but... I didn't kill Brother Lu and Sister-in-law." Zhou Fugui said, "The reason why they died was because they offended someone they shouldn't have offended."
"Who?" Lu Yi asked.
"Let me go first, and then I'll tell you who it is." Zhou Fugui said, "Only I know about this matter. If I don't tell you, no one will know, and you won't be able to find out."
"Then just stay here and say it when you want to say it." Lu Yi stood up.
"You... Lu Yi..." Zhou Fugui climbed over and grabbed the iron railing, shouting at Lu Yi's back, "I told you, I told you."
Phew! A hidden weapon was fired at me.
"Be careful." Gao Yamen swung his sword to knock off the hidden weapon.
"Chase." The other government officials chased the black shadow.
"Sir, Zhou Fugui..." Gao Yamen looked at the prison in shock.
There was a dart stuck in Zhou Fugui's neck. He was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open and refused to close his eyes.
"It seems that there is something fishy about the death of your parents, otherwise they would not have died at this critical moment." Gao Yamen said, "What should we do now?"
"Go to Zhou's house immediately."
Zhou's house was full of corpses.
The scarlet blood splashed all over the ground, and even the flowers of other colors in the garden were dyed red by the blood. The original red color became more vivid and smelled of blood.
"There is not a single living person." Lu Daniu and Lu Erniu led the government officials to search the place and came back and said to Lu Yi.
Gao Yamen came out of the study and said, "I searched and found that Zhou Bowen was missing. Maybe he is still alive."
"Search the whole city."
"yes."
Lu Yi picked up the darts on the ground.
"This material is special." Xia Kun said, "I'll take it and inquire about it."
"Okay." Lu Yi said, "So many people have died, and it's broad daylight now. Let's ask if there are any witnesses nearby."
More than a hundred members of the Zhou family were wiped out, causing a sensation throughout the northern city of Shanghai. However, the Zhou family had a bad reputation, so even if such a thing happened, no one would think it was strange.
"It's evil. There is also a three-year-old child. I heard that he was born to Zhou Bowen's concubine and died like this."
The people were talking about this matter.
A figure walked past those people.
Zuo Yunhu was walking with a jar of wine when he suddenly bumped into the man.
Bang! The two collided.
Zuo Yunhu grabbed the wine in time and the man steadied himself.
"Are you okay?" Zuo Yunhu was about to ask the man, but the man just walked away, leaving only the back of his head. "When did such a master come to Hubei City?"
