The taverns in the small town are naturally not as elegant as those in the capital, but they are just as lively.

This young man is Ah Fei.

Ah Fei entered the tavern, ordered some food and drinks, sat in a corner and started drinking, silently looking for his target.

On the bench by the window sat a man with a big horse and a golden sword. The man was drinking wine in big gulps, with only a plate of peanuts in front of him.

The wine that men drink is also cheap.

Ah Fei brought the good wine and a dish of donkey meat in marinated sauce to the man, put the wine and food on the table, and said with a smile: "It's boring to drink alone. I think you are more compatible with me. Let's have a drink?"

The man glanced at Ah Fei.

Judging from the red bloodshot eyes and hazy look in his eyes, Ah Fei could tell that this guy had drunk a lot.

"Just drink one." The man was a straightforward person. He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Ah Fei without any shyness. After drinking it in one gulp, he picked up a piece of marinated donkey meat with chopsticks and started eating.

The man chewed the fragrant donkey meat and swallowed it, then slapped the table and said, "What a delight! I haven't had their donkey meat in a long time."

He was once a high-ranking general, but because his fiancée suddenly committed suicide, he fell into endless grief and soon lost his job. Nowadays, people call him General Qin, but it is just a casual name, and some people even imply ridicule.

Not everyone admires a man's undying love for his fiancée. Often it is the women who are moved by such behavior, while most men will sneer at it.

It is really pathetic to put yourself in this situation for a woman who is not even married yet.

The gentleman and the gangster clinked glasses again and again. Feng Juancanyun finished a thick plate of donkey meat in sauce, wiped his mouth and stood up: "I'm full, thank you."

Seeing the man staggering out, Ah Fei said nothing. He sat for a while, paid the bill, and chased after him.

"Why are you following me!" The man suddenly grabbed Ah Fei's arm and pushed him against the wall.

Ah Fei grimaced in pain but didn't cry out.

After experiencing the pain of being hit by Ah Man with a hairpin, it seems that normal pain is nothing to me now.

"Who are you?" The man glared at Ah Fei, and his eyes regained clarity.

This guy is not like those spineless bastards.

Some people get drunk, not because they drink more than they can drink, but because they want to get drunk. The man in front of me is just like that.

Ah Fei looked straight at the man, suddenly smiled, and asked a strange question: "Brother, can you read?"

The man was stunned for a moment and nodded.

A strange young man, a strange problem, Hanzi vaguely felt that his painful and numb life for more than ten years was about to change.

"It's good enough if you can read." Ah Fei took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.

The man glanced at Ah Fei, took the letter, pulled it out and looked at it against the light.

After just one glance, the man's expression changed drastically.

He finished reading the letter with his whole body trembling, and grabbed Ah Fei by the collar: "Who are you?"

Ah Fei coughed a few times and said, "Brother, you are about to break my neck."

The man loosened his grip slightly, but his lips were still trembling.

When Ah Fei saw Han Zi's expression, he was filled with great fear from the bottom of his heart.

He had no doubt that this man really dared to kill people!

It's really hard to take Miss Jiang's money.

Ah Fei wanted to cry but had no tears. He consoled himself silently: My wife has already lost. What will I do in the future if I don't work hard to earn some money?

"Tell me, who are you?"

Ah Fei leaned against the wall, his back was cold and hard.

"I'm just an errand boy."

"And what about this letter? Who wrote it?"

Ah Fei shook his head: "I can't tell you that, and I can't read except for counting money. But the writer has something to tell you."

"What did he say?" The man began to get angry. "What did he say?"

The truth revealed in the letter was enough to drive a man who had been searching for the truth for more than a decade crazy.

"Ahem...she said...it's up to you to believe it or not, but it's been so many years since the incident and she has no evidence. If you want evidence, you can only pry open the mouths of key people yourself..." After saying this, Ah Fei almost cried.

I always feel that bringing such a message is almost like seeking death.

But he really couldn't read, so he didn't have the courage to peek. Even if he did, he wouldn't know what the letter said, let alone what it was about.

"Then why did he know?"

Ah Fei rolled his eyes and said, "How would I know? If I were so capable, I wouldn't be the one running errands, brother, am I right? She just said that she had nothing to do with the matter and that she found out by chance."

The man lowered his head and read the letter word by word several times, then suddenly put the letter into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

Ah Fei opened his mouth wide.

"Follow me!" The man grabbed Ah Fei and walked deeper into the alley.

Although the man's home was simple, it was unexpectedly clean.

"No matter what the people behind you are planning, since you have been sent here, I think you will wait for some results before leaving, right?"

"Of course." Ah Fei said without hesitation.

The man closed his eyes and said, "Have your own food. I won't take care of the meal."

After he finished speaking, he pushed Ah Fei away and stumbled out without even closing the door.

Ah Fei sat for a while, patted his butt and stood up.

This old man is really sincere. Of course he will leave. Miss Jiang still has something to tell him.

But how did Miss Jiang know that this old man would not hurt him?

Ah Fei had no idea that a man who had been obsessed with finding out the cause of his fiancée's death for more than a decade would no longer care about others once he learned the truth. What he couldn't wait to do was to verify what was said in the letter.

Even if he was ultimately unable to convince the victim or perpetrator, the detailed description in the letter would have convinced him.

It can be said that Liu Xiangu's ending was determined at this moment.

If you ask who is the most successful person in the past half month, eight out of ten people in the capital will say it is Liu Xiangu, who cured the eye disease of the old lady of the Earl of Dongping.

The invitations that Liu Xiangu had received from the wealthy and powerful families were scheduled for a month later, so she was in high spirits.

Today, it was our turn to go to the Yongchang Earl's Mansion.

The Yongchang Marquis' Mansion is right next door to the Dongping Marquis' Mansion, and the two families have frequent interactions. Xie Qingyao, the eldest daughter of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, is of similar age to Jiang Ru, and the two can be considered close friends.

When the maid from the Yongchang Marquis's mansion went to invite Liu Xiangu, the servants from the Dongping Marquis's mansion could clearly see what flower the maid was wearing on her head.

Because they were close to each other, any movement in one family would be known to the other side early on. So when the maid sent by the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion came back in a panic, the Dongping Marquis's Mansion was the first to know the explosive news.

The fairy-like Liu Xiangu was hacked to death on her bed. Her blood was all over the bed and the floor. She was already dead!

Liu Xiangu, who only enjoyed glory for half a month, died suddenly!

There were hurried footsteps in Haitangju, and Ah Man rushed into the house: "Girl, something scary happened!"

Jiang Siqing looked at Ah Man calmly, and suddenly smiled: "What's the scary thing? Tell me about it."

"Fairy Liu was murdered!"

"Is that so—" Jiang Si sighed softly, "It's really scary."
