Using Fang Zheng's time reversal, everyone finally figured out what happened on the day of the crime.

That day, the Bloody Baron got drunk, and then he had a big fight with his wife Anna. Then his wife said she wanted to leave, but the Bloody Baron refused, and the two of them started fighting. Then his wife picked up a candlestick and knocked the baron unconscious, and then ran away crying with her daughter...

"I never thought he would be this kind of man!"

After seeing this scene, Liz suddenly became angry. They had a good first impression of the Bloody Baron. After all, he was quite generous and enthusiastic. But they didn't expect that he would be so cruel to his own wife.

"Well, now the situation is clear."

Fang Zheng did not get involved in it. When it comes to family disputes and issues between men and women, he would only help his relatives and not his friends.

"So this is a couple arguing and fighting, and then...well..."

If this were to follow Chinese customs, the woman would just roll up her bedding and go back to her parents' home. I don't know if this custom exists here.

In fact, Fang Zheng didn't think this was strange. Domestic violence would remain a social problem even after a few hundred years. He had also discovered that the Bloody Baron was also an alcoholic, and alcoholics were more likely to commit domestic violence. Fang Zheng had this doubt deep in his heart, and now his guess had been verified. Besides, the status of men and women in this era was also a problem. As Ciri said, only two types of women in this era would have long hair, prostitutes and sorceresses. Other women didn't do that. Commoners either wrapped their heads or braided them. Nobles would just wear a hat or something.

So from this point of view, the status of women in this era was also very low, and beating wives was naturally not a big deal for men in this era.

Even at that time, men believed that wives were like trained horses, and they had to be beaten frequently to keep them obedient. They thought this was a natural and reasonable truth. If it were put in modern times, wouldn’t anyone think this was crazy? But at that time, even the women who were beaten agreed with this truth!

This is the gap between the times.

But for Lisi and Miaojie, this is obviously not the case. Obviously, they do not like to see this kind of scene.

"What should we do now? Do we really have to bring his wife and children back?"

Liz was obviously reluctant. It would have been fine if she didn't know before, but now that she knew that the Bloody Baron beat his wife, she naturally stood on the side of the beaten wife.

“We don’t need to do this.”

Compared to Liz who looked very angry, Miaojie still had a smiling face.

"We only promised to help Mr. Baron 'find' his wife and daughter, but we didn't promise to bring them back. I think as long as Mr. Baron knows that his wife and daughter are safe, then the rest is his business, right? Mr. Fang Zheng?"

"That's it."

Fang Zheng looked at Miao Jie and nodded. At the same time, he felt in his heart that this noble lady was indeed black when cut open. On the surface, she seemed flawless, but on the inside she was obviously dissatisfied with it. However, her way of expression was not as direct as Liz. Indeed, Ciri agreed to help the Bloody Baron find his wife and daughter, but whether this search meant 'finding' or 'retrieving' was another matter!

Now Miao Jie insists that she “found it”, which means that we will not go back on our word and will definitely help you find it, but we will not bring the person back after we find him/her, so you have to find a way to solve it yourself.

Wow, this young lady is indeed flawless, worthy of her aristocratic birth.

Of course, there are some things that Fang Zheng did not tell them.

Soon, Ciri came back from the investigation, but she said she didn't have any clues, because it was raining heavily that night, and almost all the guards went back to avoid the rain late at night. So no one knew what happened at the time. The next day, the baron's wife and children disappeared, and he was furious, scaring others so much that they dared not say anything.

After all, the nickname of the Bloody Baron was not a coincidence. The people below knew that he had a bad temper and would whip people when he got angry. When his wife and children ran away, he naturally asked the gatekeeper, but he was severely whipped because he could not give a clear answer.

"I haven't found any clues here. Where's Mr. Fang Zheng?"

"That's enough. Let's go. I have something else to ask you."

Although Fang Zheng was capable of doing it all by himself, after all, he could find the person just by looking into the future and following them. But Fang Zheng was not here to complete a mission. He designated two students to come with him as part of his "off-campus internship", so he didn't say much, just nodded, and then led the three of them down the stairs to meet the Baron again.

"Hey, Ciri, how's it going? Any clues?"

Seeing the four people coming back, the Bloody Baron hurriedly asked, and Ciri smiled awkwardly. However, before she could say anything, Fang Zheng asked directly.

"Where's the child? Where did you hide him?"

"child?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the Bloody Baron was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't I say she ran away with the child?"

"I'm not talking about the kid."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"I mean the second child she gave birth to."

"……Why?!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the three girls were stunned for a moment. The Bloody Baron seemed to be struck by lightning. He froze in place, staring at Fang Zheng with wide eyes.

"You, you...how did you know..."

"God is watching what you do. There's a saying in my hometown that goes, 'If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself.' So... Mr. Baron, let's get to the bottom of this. What's going on?"

“…”

"We know that you knew exactly why they left that night. You drank and had a fight with your wife, and then she knocked you out and ran away crying...right?"

"Hey... I didn't expect you to find so much."

After hearing what Fang Zheng said, the Bloody Baron sighed and sat down.

"Yes, I know, but...what should I say? My wife ran away because I beat her? How can I save face if I tell others about this!"

"What's going on with that kid?"

At this moment, Ciri also asked curiously. After all, she didn't know what Fang Zheng had seen. The Bloody Baron hesitated for a moment, but finally confessed honestly.

It turned out that according to the Bloody Baron, this happened not long ago. At that time, he said that he didn't know what happened. Anyway, he was drunk and had no memory. But when he woke up, he stumbled back to his room and found his wife fainted by the window, and under her, there was a dead baby!

She is pregnant!!

Hearing this, the three girls turned pale. Liz hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Then... that child, is it dead?"

"Dead, I don't know what happened, my mind was blank at the time."

The Bloody Baron stretched out his hands and held his head in pain, with a look of regret on his face.

"I, I saw the body on the bloody bed sheet, dead, and then, I found a bed sheet to wrap it up and buried it secretly..."

"You, how could you do such a thing!"

After hearing this, Miao Jie was fine. Liz was originally an upright believer. After hearing this, she couldn't help but stand up and scold.

"Your wife was pregnant, but not only did you not take care of her, you even drank too much, beat and scolded your wife, and caused her to miscarry. How could you be so cruel!?"

"I, I don't want to do this either! But this is not my responsibility alone!"

At this moment, the Bloody Baron also jumped up and began to defend himself loudly. Then he finally explained the whole story to everyone.

It turns out that when the Bloody Baron and his wife first met, they were quite harmonious and friendly. At that time, the Bloody Baron was a wounded soldier, and his wife was the one who took care of him. The two of them fell in love, got married, and had a daughter. Logically speaking, they were a happy family.

But unfortunately, this beautiful story only has a beautiful beginning.

The Bloody Baron was a soldier, so he led his troops to fight everywhere, which inevitably neglected his wife at home. As a result, when he came back one day, he was surprised to find that his wife was actually in love with a boy who was her childhood sweetheart, and they had been together for several years! !

"Well……"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng's face was slightly embarrassed. After all, he had done this kind of thing of taking advantage of opportunities many times in the world of A Step into the Qin... But fortunately, it was basically just to relieve the inner distress of those lonely young women who were alone in their empty rooms, and it had not yet reached the point of ruining someone's marriage.

A man cannot tolerate being cuckolded, let alone the fact that he is leading troops outside and his wife is flirting with other men at home. How can this be tolerated? In addition, the Bloody Baron has a bad temper, so he beat his wife up immediately. Then his wife cried and ran away from home, taking the children to the man's house!

Later, the Bloody Baron also came to the man's house. He originally wanted to take his wife home, but his wife refused to go back and said that she didn't want to live with him anymore and wanted to be with her childhood sweetheart. So the Bloody Baron was furious and beat the man to death.

His wife also saw the scene at the side, and she went crazy and wanted to beat him, and even wanted to kill him. After that, the relationship between the couple became like strangers. His wife mocked him with all kinds of sarcastic words every day, and when the Bloody Baron was in a bad mood, he would drink to relieve his sorrow and beat his wife, and then it became like this...

“…”

After listening to the Bloody Baron's story, the girls also had complicated expressions, and they didn't know what to say for a moment. As for Fang Zheng, he looked at his nose and looked at his heart, without any reaction. This is what they call it difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs. Not to mention Bao Qingtian, even Zhong Kui would not be able to help.

Do you think the baron's wife is pitiful? Of course she is pitiful. She was abused by her drunken husband all day long, and her child was aborted. If this happened in modern times, it would definitely be a social and legal headline.

But the Bloody Baron is not pitiful? A grown man, risking his life all day, only to return home and find that his wife is cheating on him - oh, from this point of view, it is hard to say whether the first child his wife gave birth to is his.

In modern society, how many men can stand this?

After the Bloody Baron finished his story, the atmosphere in the room became heavy for a moment. Liz looked at Miao Jie, not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, Ciri soon broke the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"You said you buried the child wrapped in a sheet? Did you give it a name? Did you bury it?"

"How is that possible?"

The Bloody Baron shook his head.

"I was so scared at the time that I just wrapped it in a bed sheet and buried it in a hole. As for the name... Hey, how could I have thought so much about it?"

"not good!"

Hearing this, Ciri stood up with a nervous look on her face.

"That child might have turned into a dead baby!"
