Chapter 427: Peeling Back the Cocoon (3)

Seeing that the old lady seemed to know everything, Fan Chen suddenly said with red eyes: "Old lady, I really don't have a heart. They promised to let my son participate in the imperial examination, and they would remove our whole family from slavery, and they said that they would not harm you······" Fan Chen didn't finish speaking, he suddenly stopped speaking, and quietly lowered his head, as if someone had clicked on the acupoint, and he didn't move.

Li Ziyu was woken up by her grandfather's words at this time, and suddenly woke up. That's right, if it was a person from a foreign domain, he wouldn't be happy to see the Daye Dynasty have advanced weapons. It is logical that they will send people to rob and assassinate themselves. It seems that my grandfather has thought of this layer for a long time, why didn't he think of it?

However, few people know about the development of their own grenades, so how did the news leak out? The few people who know this news will not expose themselves. However, after the battle with the Liao army in Baishan City and the defense of his own house, the grenade must have been known by someone with a heart, and after a little analysis, he will focus on himself. What puzzled her was that even if they knew they were suspicious, they couldn't be sure that they were the ones who made the grenades. Unless they are 100% sure, they will be so impatient to rob themselves that they will even stab themselves to death.

It's just that in Fan's Mansion, how did Fan Chen find out? Isn't that too weird? Could it be that Fan Chen and the people of the foreign vassals outside the mansion colluded with each other? So how are they connected? Can Fan Chen alone arrange this qiē in a hurry?

Li Ziyu intuitively thinks that things may not be so simple. Fan Chen may just be a small chess piece, and the person behind the curtain is probably hidden in the mansion. These thoughts in Li Ziyu's mind were only for a moment, and she also wanted to hear what Fan Chenmian could say, whether to continue to shout grievances or pretend to be deaf and dumb.

At this time, Fan Qiming suddenly shouted: "Father." Something is wrong with Fan Chen! “

Li Ziyu hurriedly looked up, only to see that Fan Qiming had already stepped forward to check while talking, and when he pulled Fan Chen's hair up, he found that he had no breath at all, there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, but there was a smiling expression on his face, as if he enjoyed the feeling before death. How weird and weird this scene is. Li Ziyu felt a cool breath coming out of the soles of her feet. This man died like this? Just die right under their noses? That's weird, isn't it?

Fan Jingshu walked over with a calm face, carefully examined it and said, "He has been poisoned, and he should take the antidote on time every day." This time he was suddenly locked up. It is too late to take the antidote at a fixed time to cause death. It's just that what kind of poison is this that makes him die in enjoyment? And who in the house has such great magical powers, and actually gathered my housekeeper under my nose? Hehe······" Speaking of which, in the end. He laughed angrily, sneered and turned and walked out of the stone house.

Fan Qiming's face was very scary. With no longer the usual gentle smile on his face, he took one last look at Fan Chen with a gloomy face, and beckoned Li Ziyu and said, "Yu'er, let's go!" “

Li Ziyu promised but did not move. Instead, he walked up to Fan Chen, carefully examined Fan Chen's death, and tried to find out what flaws. But after checking. Disappointed her. She thought it was a modern drug, ******, but it wasn't like it. And Fan Chen's face doesn't look like he is taking drugs. Li Ziyu had no choice but to leave disappointed.

The three of them returned to the study, and Chai Bin still maintained the state they were in, standing straight in the corner of the study, not even moving. When they saw the three of them coming back, they only bent down respectfully, but they still didn't move.

Fan Jingshu sat on the Taishi's chair and didn't move for a long time. The candle flame had been lit in the room, and he looked at the candle flame in a daze, but his mind recalled the stiffness of Fan Chen at the moment when he was told by himself just now.

Fan Chen has been close to him since he was a child, and he is always well-behaved in front of him, and he is extremely smart. He once sighed and said: "If Fan Chen is not a slave, he will definitely be a manufacturable material, if he participates in the imperial examination, he may be a jinshi, but it is a pity that ······"

It's a pity for him that the Daye Dynasty has a rule that if more than three generations of the family are slaves, then they can't remove slaves. In other words, even if the master's family removed the slave status, the slave who was restored to his free body could not participate in the imperial examination.

The reason why Fan Chen had greed may have been provoked by a few words of emotion by himself, and thus was used by people with intentions. Thinking of the cruelty of the person behind him, and thinking of Fan Chen dying in front of his eyes, a sense of crisis that he had never felt before rose in his heart.

He thought that the impregnable mansion was surrounded by people behind the scenes, but he quietly weaved a net in the corner where he didn't pay attention, a net that was enough to shake the foundation of the Fan family. This person is also terrible! Who exactly? How did he do it? Why hasn't it gotten anyone's attention?

At this time, Fan Qilin hurriedly walked in from outside, looked at the people in the study and said, "I have found it!" “

A trace of gloom flashed on Fan Jingshu's face, like a prelude to a storm, flashing with a gloomy light: "Say!" “

Fan Qilin said in a somewhat solemn tone: "The secret guards in the mansion have attacked in several ways just now, investigating the inside and outside of the mansion and Fan Chen's family, and found that their family has not had any obvious abnormal behavior in the past few years. It's just that the secret guard reflected one thing, saying that Fan Chen's wife and the fourth lady were very close. And I heard some little guys say that Fan Chen's two sons worked very hard behind their backs, not only learning to keep accounts, but also learning some things that the young masters in the house had learned, which also attracted the ridicule of the people in the house. Since then, though, they have not been seen learning. "Fourth lady?" Fan Jingshu frowned and repeated, obviously this situation surprised him a little.

The fourth lady's name is Fu Xiaorong, and she is Fan Jingshu's fourth daughter-in-law. Fu Xiaorong is the concubine of the Fu family's house, and she is also the right daughter-in-law specially selected by Fan Jingshu for her fourth son. Since Fu Xiaorong got married, she gave birth to a son and a daughter, and her husband and children are very peaceful. The eldest son, Fan Xinjin, is 12 years old this year, and he is studying at Dongxue, a second-class institution in Yidu, and he has heard that he works very hard. The eldest daughter Fan Yongwen is ten years old this year, and she has been well-behaved and obedient since she was a child, and she has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Although the fourth son Fan Qiliang is a concubine, he is quite satisfied with him in his heart. As a concubine, he did not fight or grab, and worked hard behind his back, and was admitted to the Jinshi in the twenty-fourth year of Jingtai. At that time, the moment he learned that Qiliang was admitted to the Jinshi, he was really extremely proud and proud. Now in Zhongshu Province as a member of the Seven Grades She, although the official position is a little low, but with his own help in the court, promotion is just around the corner.

Fu Xiaorong has no reason to betray the mansion, her husband and son are counting on the Fan Mansion to help, will she destroy her future? I can't think right!

Fan Jingshu thought about it again and again, and continued to ask, "What else?" “

Fan Qilin continued: "After Fan Chen came out of Chunhui Hall today, he met Yiling, the fourth lady's dowry maid, and someone saw them and had a brief conversation. After that, Yiling left in a hurry, and no one knew where she went. “

Fan Jingshu asked: "Who are the people who left the house today, have you checked?" “

Fan Qilin said: "I checked, the strange thing is that except for the steward who bought in the morning, no one else left the house today. And when the purchased steward went out of the house, Yu'er hadn't decided whether to go out or not, how did the killer find out? "Pigeon!" Almost at the same time, Fan Jingshu, Fan Qilin, and Fan Qiming called out at the same time. (To be continued.) )
