The inspection did not notice anything abnormal, calmed his face, and still frowned and thought carefully.

Someone reminded: "My lord, this kind of anomaly, whether it is auspicious or evil, is not something we can deal with, and it must be reported to the county and government immediately." ”

The inspector immediately came to his senses and waved his hand: "The water shrine is sealed, and no one is allowed to enter - you are a scholar, and you must not make a noise, so you should retreat!"

Su Ziji smiled, if it weren't for the white light when the spirit appeared, the demon disappeared, and he threw the corpse into the dry well, he would have caused some trouble.

In a blink of an eye, he found that Ding Ruili had disappeared.

"Ding Ruili must have a problem, and he must find a way to find out when he goes back. Su Ziji was a little tired at this time, and he didn't go to find his whereabouts, besides, now because of the aura of the Water Temple, which attracted the attention of the townspeople and the official, Su Ziji didn't want to stay here and cause trouble.

He immediately retreated and called the ox cart to go home, but when something happened, even the coachman couldn't help but talk about it on the road and ask what he saw.

Su Ziji replied helplessly: "I only walked around the outside, and when I saw the light inside, I thought there was something strange, so I hurried out." ”

"Hey, yes, if it were me, I wouldn't dare to go in. The driver understood, so he didn't ask again, and he couldn't imagine that it was the one who was sitting in the car.

Linhua County Tan family

After running around for a day and a night, the ox cart carried Ding Ruili to the door of Tan's house in Linhua County, Ding Ruili looked a little tired, and looked around.

The street is quite prosperous, of course, it can't be compared with the city, Ding Ruili ordered the coachman to come forward and knock on the door.

After a long time, an old voice came from inside: "Who?"

"I have your son's whereabouts, and I have come to tell you. Ding Ruili said outside.

There was silence inside for a while, and then the door opened, and it was Tan Youshan who came out.

Originally, although he was getting older, he had a straight waist, and his face had the majesty of justice for a long time, and he was an old catcher who everyone admired, but now, less than two months, he seemed to be ten years old.

The edges and corners became loose, and the slightest white hair sprinkled down, he looked at Ding Ruili, and after a while, he turned around with a blank expression and motioned to follow: "Come in." ”

Ding Ruili didn't mind his attitude, entered the house, refused the tea, and said, "Don't gossip, I'm here to tell you that your son is dead." ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense!" The old man, who had a blank expression and no brilliance in his eyes, suddenly turned around and glared at him, with a ruthless look in his eyes, like a lone wolf who had lost his colony!

"My son is alive and well, you have to curse him!"

"Uncle, why deceive yourself? Your son Tan An, not long ago, offended Su Ziji, not only lost his errand, but also left home in anger, and he didn't come back for a while, you should also guess that something might have happened. Ding Rui's eyes were deep and he said slowly.

Tan Youshan was silent for a moment and said, "What you said is right, I have a premonition. But what proof do you have if you say my son is dead?"

"Well, it's proof. Ding Ruili took out a letter in his arms and handed it to Tan Youshan.

Tan Youshan is literate, took it, and unfolded it to see, it is indeed Tan An's handwriting, which roughly says that he has an appointment with Su Ziji, if he can't return, he must be victimized by him, and there is a date below, and it turned out to be yesterday.

He trembled his hands and looked up at Ding Ruili.

Ding Ruili didn't look at his tearful appearance, and continued: "Tan An, because of the hatred of taking his wife, asked Su Ziji to meet after the Water Temple in Shuiyuan Town, and wanted to theorize, who knows, Su Ziji actually killed people in anger, killed Tan An, and hid his body in the dry well of the Water Temple. ”

"Although I saw it with my own eyes at the time, I was afraid to extinguish my mouth, so I could only hide in the dark, and now I have come to tell my husband that you are just so that you will not be kept in the dark. ”

"After all, it is really a great hardship for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. Tan An is your only son, and Su Ziji killed him, this is not only a murder, but also a cut off the incense of your Tan family, but a big enemy. ”

"You don't have to say any more. Tan Youshan suddenly interrupted his words, his eyes were cold, he was an old catcher, he had seen too much, this provocation was obvious at a glance.

But what this person said is right, Tan An is his only son, and when he dies, he will cut off the incense of the Tan family, which is a great enmity that does not share the sky.

"You have worked hard from afar, so simply tell me how to deal with Su Ziji. ”

Of course, Tan Youshan knew that this matter was strange, and even the departure of his son was weird, but even so, if Su Ziji really killed his son, he would fight with him endlessly.

Seeing him on the road, Ding Ruili was satisfied: "Su Ziqi participated in the Autumn Festival in August, you can go to sue during the Autumn Festival, the Autumn Festival is a national talent ceremony, and the imperial court has a special school inspector to supervise it, which is equivalent to the Qin Cha!"

"If you beat the drum to alarm Qiuqiu, then the school governor will come down to investigate in conjunction with the provincial government, even if someone wants to suppress this matter, it is absolutely impossible. ”

"If you go to sue now, a case leader, the county order may not help you, and the prefect may not accept it. ”

This is very true, Tan Youshan is just an old man, very majestic to the people, but to the government, it is just shrimp.

It is related to the head of the case, and the county order will definitely not be accepted immediately, and it is not in line with the law of the Zheng Dynasty to go beyond the county order to sue Su Ziji.

When will there be an exception? That is, when it comes to students participating in the imperial examination, the matter will directly cause a big fuss.

Of course, the consequences are also very serious, whether it is right or wrong, Tan Youshan will not escape responsibility.

"If it is true that Su Ziji killed my son, I promise you. Knowing that there was something wrong, Tan Youshan was silent and responded in a deep voice.

Ding Ruili was satisfied with what he heard, and secretly thought: "As long as Tan Youshan charges into battle, whether he succeeds or not, Su Zizhi will not be able to participate in the imperial examination at least this time." ”

Although he was driven by magic, he was only limited to matters with Su Ziji, and other things were not only very sober, but also infected with demonic nature, becoming more and more insidious and cunning.

After Ding Ruili left, Tan Youshan sat in the dark, his eyes glowing faintly.

"Daddy, I can ride a horse. ”

"Dad, I will be the same tolerance as my father in the future. ”

"Dad, I'm finally on duty, this is the iron ruler I received. ”

Tan An's past seems to be still in front of him, I don't know how much time has passed, Tan Youshan wiped his face, only to realize that he had burst into tears, and immediately turned over the boxes and cabinets and turned out all the money he had saved.

"I will be cheeky and use my lifelong relationship to investigate, no matter who killed my son, I will fight you to the death. ”

Of course, Tan Youshan knows the strangeness and consequences of this matter, but if Tan An is really dead, what is the point of everything?

Tan Youshan has worked for the public all his life, and he may have done things wrong, but he can point to his conscience and say that he did not deliberately wronged a person, and naturally accumulated a lot of contacts and favors.

At this time, you have to use it all, this is the grief and determination of a father!
