At first, Xia Lin died so suddenly that Xia Qun didn't react. Xia Lin has settled down.
Afterwards, he noticed many suspicious points, but there was nothing he could do to check again.
He can't dig his sister's body out of the grave in order to trace the truth?!
Because of this, he didn't notice whether the Kirin jade pendant on Xia Lin was still there.
Now when Xia Qun saw the Kirin jade pendant belonging to his sister appear in front of him, he was more excited than shocked. His intuition told him that as long as he knew the origin of the jade pendant, he could find the bastard who bullied her sister and killed herself three years ago!
Jiang Weiwei said, "according to the pawnbroker's statement, this jade pendant is the property of a boy in the Guo family."
"Which Guo family?"
"There is only one Guo family in the south of the city. He and the Xu family are in laws. The two families have a very close relationship. The royal guards followed this clue and found out that the young man who sold the jade pendant was the servant of Guo Tianyin. Guo Tianyin was Xu Yizhi's nephew. He was notorious and everyone in the capital knew that he was greedy for money and lust. He once robbed a good family woman and forced the woman to jump into a well and commit suicide. The woman's family complained to shuntianfu, but the governor of shuntianfu was afraid to accept the case because he was afraid of Xu Yizhi's power. The woman's grandmother was angry and killed a stone lion in shuntianfu. "
Xia Qun naturally heard of this incident, which caused a great storm in Bianjing.
But at that time, he just listened to it as a story and didn't take it to heart.
Until now, he felt the same feelings for the injured family, because his sister probably suffered the same experience as the woman who jumped into a well and committed suicide.
Xia Qun clenched the jade pendant in his hand, and his knuckles were slightly white because of excessive force.
But even so, he still did not choose to fully believe Jiang Weiwei's words.
He said, "I can't believe everything you say with just a jade pendant."
Jiang Weiwei said, "the royal guards can catch the young man selling jade pendant and torture him. You can also watch the whole process. You can see if the truth is as I said. But I want to remind you that once the young man is captured by the royal guards, he will disturb Guo Tianyin. If we let Guo Tianyin prepare in advance, then even if we find evidence, we may not catch him. The Guo family has a big business. If we find a scapegoat, we can fool the case. "
Xia Qun pursed his lips and didn't speak.
He wanted to catch the boy and ask the truth, but he didn't want Guo Tianyin, who might be the real murderer, to escape.
Seeing that he hesitated, Jiang Weiwei reminded him, "the news that you were taken away by the royal guards today may have been known by the Xu family. They will send someone to ask you or your father tomorrow morning at the latest, so you have only one night to think about it now. If you think about it clearly, just shout royal guards and they will appear in front of you. Remember, tomorrow morning is the deadline. "
Xia Qun's mouth moved and seemed to have something to say.
Jiang Wei said, "if you have anything to say, you don't have to be taboo."
Xia Qun hesitated and asked, "if I help you report Xu Yizhi, will my father be involved?"
"It depends on what role your father plays in the whole thing. If he is restrained and coerced by others, as long as he takes the initiative to report Xu Yizhi, he can commit a crime and make meritorious service. There was a precedent for this kind of thing in southern Chu. Once an official was coerced to help cover up a murder case. Afterwards, the official took the initiative to report the real murderer and provided very key evidence. The emperor wanted to make a confession for his merit, and finally just fined him half a year's salary. "
If only half a year's salary is fined, Xia Qun feels completely acceptable.
He thought about it, but he didn't say anything more.
Xia Qun sends Jiang Weiwei out of the house and returns to his bedroom.
At this time, his parents had gone back to their room. A servant girl was making his bed. When she saw him coming back, the servant girl bowed her knees and saluted: "young master."
Xia Qun waved her hand and motioned her to go down.
After the servant girl left, Xia Qun was the only one left in the room. He sat in a daze on the bed. His mind flashed his sister's face and his father's figure
Xia Qun didn't have an appetite when the servants brought him the food. He didn't touch it.
When it was completely dark, Xia Qun finally couldn't sit still.
He got up and went out of the room and knocked on his parents' room.
Xia's mother opened the door and saw her son standing outside. She quickly asked him to come in and sit down.
Xia Qun went to the bed and looked at his father lying on the bed.
Xia Fu was awake at this time, but his hands and feet were still stiff because of his recent stroke, so he had to lie down.
When he saw his son coming, he frowned and asked, "it's so late. Why don't you sleep?"
Xia's mother stared at him: "my son specially came to see you. It's filial piety. Can't you give him a smiling face?"
Xia Fu snorted, but he didn't say anything bad in his mouth.
Xia's mother asked her son to sit down and talk.
Xia Qun said, "Mom, I want to talk to my father alone."
Xia's mother looked at him with a smile: "what whispers can't you two let me hear?"
Xia Qun didn't say anything, but looked at her with begging eyes.
Xia's mother had no choice but to say, "I'll go to the kitchen and see if the hot water is ready. You two talk slowly."
When she left, Xia Qun opened his mouth and asked the question in his heart.
"Dad, if you were given a chance to avenge Arlene, would you accept it?"
Xia Fu was surprised.
He wanted to sit up, but because his body was out of control, he couldn't sit up with great effort. He could only whisper: "what are you talking about? Don't say such nonsense. Arlene is already dead. Don't mention her again! "
Xia Qun said, "I know Arlene was bullied before she died. I want to find the bastard who bullied her. I want to revenge Arlene."
If it was normal, Xia Fu must have jumped up and beat the disobedient son. But now he couldn't move, so he could only stare at him angrily and teach him, "Arlene is dead! Even if you avenge her, she can't live again! "
"But if I can't avenge her, I can't feel at ease all my life."
"Aren't you living well now? What do you want to do so much? "
"I don't live well, not at all!" Xia Qun covered his red eyes and his voice trembled, "not only me, but also my father and mother don't live well. We all know that Arlene died wrongly. We all have hatred and shame in our hearts. I asked you if you dreamed of Arlene asking you for help. In fact, I often had this dream. I dreamed that Arlene was crying for help. She called brother ah, I'm in pain... "
At last, he was unable to go on, covering his face and sobbing.
