Fang Miao's face flushed red as she looked at the tall figure of Lord Gu holding the handkerchief in his hand. She couldn't help but hold the handkerchief tightly against her chest, her heart pounding.
Fang Miao took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Fang Miao, what are you thinking about!
That was Lord Gu, the eldest son of the General who defended the country and the Minister of the Dali Temple, while I was just a small coroner. There was a huge difference between the two of them!
Fang Miao suppressed the restlessness in her heart, walked quickly forward, and chased after Gu Huainian.
Suddenly, Gu Huainian stopped walking, and Fang Miao had no time to stop, so she bumped into him and hit his broad back.
Fang Miao's brain went blank for a moment, but she quickly reacted and took two steps back.
It is said that adults hate being touched the most. What is she doing?!
"I'm sorry!" Fang Miao apologized quickly.
Gu Huainian turned his head and looked at her, without saying a word, and continued walking forward.
Fang Miao stood there in a daze. The adult's mouth seemed to curl up just now. Was he smiling?
It must be an illusion!
In the Dali Temple, Lord Gu has another nickname, which is the Cold-Faced Yama, who never smiles!
…
Gu Huainian investigated the deceased's network of relationships before his death, and soon there was progress in the case.
A few days ago, passers-by saw the victim arguing with someone in the street before his death.
The other party was Xia Siyuan, the son of a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel. He was a friend of the deceased and they often drank and played together.
This time, the two of them were arguing for unknown reasons.
Gu Huaian immediately summoned the man and saw that he was panic-stricken and something was wrong. Gu Huaian asked him a few questions based on the autopsy results, and his expression became even more panic-stricken.
After Gu Huainian pressed the issue a bit, the man was frightened and confessed.
"Sir...I was indeed the one who killed him." Xia Siyuan knelt on the ground in fear.
"Why do you want to kill people?" Gu Huainian asked coldly.
Xia Siyuan remained silent, obviously hiding something.
Gu Huainian slowly and vividly described his crimes and punishments.
After hearing this, Xia Siyuan turned pale with fright.
"If you confess, you will be treated leniently." Gu Huainian said.
Xia Siyuan's psychological defenses collapsed: "It was... Fang Fei who asked me to kill him!"
"Fang Fei?"
"Xie Fangfei, the daughter of the Salt Transport Secretary." Xia Siyuan said.
"Why did she ask you to kill someone?" Gu Huainian asked.
"Zhang Lianggong and I were originally good friends, but because we both liked Fangfei, we were always secretly competing with each other. How could I be inferior to him? Although his father was a scholar named Zhan, he already had a wife. I haven't married yet, so I can let Fangfei be my wife. What I didn't expect was that the beast named Zhang would do such a thing to Fangfei..."
His eyes were red and he was very excited. He took two deep breaths before continuing to speak.
"A few days ago, Fangfei told me that she and Zhang Lianggong had physical contact. Zhang Lianggong deliberately got her drunk, and she was completely unwilling... Zhang Lianggong is such a beast!"
"He also wanted to force Fangfei to be his concubine. Fangfei was completely unwilling. Fangfei had no choice but to come to me. Fangfei asked me to kill him..."
"Fang Fei said that if I killed him, she would marry me. I originally wanted to pretend that he fell into the water, but I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect that the law is so vast that nothing can escape it?"
Xia Siyuan burst into tears.
Gu Huainian narrowed his eyes slightly.
If it is true as he said, Xie Fangfei is either the principal offender or an accomplice.
"Someone, bring Xie Fangfei here."
…
Xie Mansion.
Xie Fangfei's face was swollen and she looked very ugly.
Ever since she found out that Tangli was Gu Huainian's sister, she knew that there was no possibility between her and Gu Huainian.
The whole capital knew that Gu Huainian doted on his younger sister extremely. Since she had a feud with Tang Li, it was impossible for Gu Huainian to like her.
But she couldn't swallow this.
She returned home and found the problem after thinking about it.
Isn’t Tangli’s husband Wei Qing?
Tangli arrived in the capital. How did her husband become the son of Lord Wu?
Where did Wei Qing go?
She felt that there must be something fishy going on, and that if she investigated, she might be able to get hold of something against Tang Li.
Xie Fangfei called the servants and asked them to investigate the matter.
However, before the investigators came back, people from the Dali Temple arrived.
Xie Fangfei looked at the Dali Temple constable who came in and was unable to react for a moment.
"Xie Fangfei?"
"I am. How did you break into my boudoir?"
"Xie Fangfei, we have found out that you are related to Zhang Lianggong's death, so we have to take you back to the Dali Temple for interrogation. This is the arrest warrant signed by our master." said the leading constable.
Zhang Liang bow?
Is this the Zhang Lianggong she knows?
How did Zhang Lianggong die?
She has many male confidants in Beijing, or to put it bluntly, her backup men.
Zhang Lianggong is one of the spare tires.
His father was also a third-rank official, quite powerful, and already had a wife at home.
However, Xie Fangfei didn't take his wife seriously. She had already hooked Zhang Lianggong. She felt that even if she asked Zhang Lianggong to divorce his wife and marry her, he would not hesitate.
Of course, this was just her previous thought. A few days ago, she wanted to verify her charm, so she brought up this matter.
Who knew that Zhang Lianggong actually hesitated.
Xie Fangfei lost her temper with him and they started to have a quarrel.
Xie Fangfei was so angry that she found Zhang Lianggong's friend and told him that Zhang Lianggong had overpowered her...
She was waiting to see the fun, but who knew that Zhang Lianggong was actually dead!
"I have never seen Zhang Lianggong, and his death has nothing to do with me..." Xie Fangfei quickly defended herself.
"take away."
Two constables walked up and took the man away by force.
When Xie Rong'an heard the news, he rushed home from the government office, and happened to meet the Dali Temple and his daughter walking out.
"This...what's going on? What happened to my daughter?" Xie Rong'an was suddenly panicked.
If the Dali Temple arrests someone, it must be something bad!
"Thank you, sir. Your daughter is involved in a murder case and we are taking her back for trial."
"How could my daughter be connected to the murder?"
"Dad, please save me. I don't want to go to the Dali Temple."
Xie Rongan looked at his daughter, his heart ached, and he wanted to stop her.
"Fangfei, don't be afraid, Daddy is here."
However, before he could get close to Xie Fangfei, he was stopped by the police.
"Thank you, sir. This is the arrest warrant signed by our Lord Gu. Please take a look at it. Please do not disturb us while we are investigating the case."
Xie Rongan looked at the document. It was clearly written in black and white that the person to be arrested was indeed his daughter!
His head was spinning.
how so?
"Dad, I won't go to the Dali Temple! Don't worry about the documents!" Xie Fangfei shouted.
The constables from the Dali Temple captured her and left without paying any attention to her cries.
"Dad, save me!"
"You don't even care about your daughter's life or death, what kind of father are you?"
"If you don't save me, I will never recognize you as my father again!"
Xie Fangfei shouted loudly.
Xie Fangfei's words pierced Xie Rongan's heart.
Yes, he was not there when his wife died, and he was not there when Fangfei fell into the well. What kind of husband and father is he?
Xie Rongan chased Xie Fangfei for two steps, and he felt more and more dizzy. He could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
