Chapter 167: Conjecture
"Isn't Zheng Ying the deputy general of Master Fu San? Is he related to Shadow?" Gui Ye asked. Shadow's investigation was handled by him, so he knew Shadow very well. Shadow people were controlled by a spice, and their internal organs would rot to death after they were separated for an hour.
Therefore, when he heard that Lin Chenyao was going to investigate Zheng Ying, he couldn't help but be curious that Zheng Ying had pacified the Japanese tragedies in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guang in the past two years, and made many military achievements. How could he be a Shadow?
Lin Chenyao thought for a moment, tapped the table with his slender fingers and said, "Have you noticed that officials who are more friendly to Mr. Fu San in the past two years have passed away one after another without knowing the reason, but Zheng Ying has been doing well in the past few years?"
He didn't notice this before yesterday, but since Chu Xinyu said that Zheng Ying had a snake tattoo on the back of his neck, he should have come back. There were few officials who were friendly to Fu Shaode and had close ties with him. His personal corps were all killed in an encirclement and suppression of Japanese pirates. That time, Zheng Ying was the one who served as the commander. Although he finally returned to victory, only one of the three teams came back, and this team was a recruit trained by Zheng Ying himself.
Because after Fu Shaode's death, the Japanese pirates became even more rampant. The court sent several officials to annihilate the Japanese pirates. In the end, the court asked Zheng Ying to take charge. Although he suffered heavy losses in this battle, he annihilated the Japanese pirates and made his first contribution. As for the soldiers who followed him to die, it did not attract attention.
Now, after Chu Xinyu reminded him, Lin Chenyao felt that Zheng Ying was suspicious and said that he was civil and martial, and he used military skills as a god. But in fact, his ability was not as good as Fu Shaode, but after that war, his prestige continued to rise. In just four years, he was almost as famous as Fu Shaode, the anti-Japanese hero.
"When talking about this, I will remember another thing." Gui Ye thought for a while and said, "I don't know if the Marquis still remembers it. Mr. Fu Wu once said that Zheng Ying had a good relationship with Miss Fu Er. On several occasions, when Zheng Ying surrounded and annihilated Japanese pirates, Miss Fu Er was his military advisor and gave him advice. In other words, half of the achievements of Zheng Ying today were from Miss Fu Er. But Miss Fu Er was very low-key and had never said this in front of others."
Lin Chenyao understood what Gui Ye meant and investigated Zheng Ying. If he had any problems, he would definitely implicate Fu Yinghua, but Chu Xinyu suspected that Fu Yinghua had problems. Indeed, with Fu Guanzhang's investigation methods over the years, it was impossible for him to be interrupted after finding a clue repeatedly.
But how could she collude with outsiders to murder them? Her parents love her like a treasure, and he could see that she also likes her parents and sisters very much. Besides, she is very protective of her. Who said that her family is not right, she will tie the person to the end. How could such a person harm her family?
Lin Chenyao asked, "Have Fu Guanzhang been back?"
Gui Ye said: "Yes."
“When will you come back?”
"The housekeeper said he was probably back at dawn and was still sleeping in the bamboo yard."
Lin Chenyao said to Chenguang: "Go and call him over."
Chenguang nodded and walked out.
After a while, Fu Guanzhang walked in, with a lazy expression. He came in and picked up a chair a little far from the desk and sat down, "Is there anything to ask me for? Tell me quickly, I'm tired and haven't had enough sleep yet."
Lin Chenyao gave Gui Ye a wink, Gui Ye understood and got up and went out to close the door.
Lin Chenyao and Fu Guanzhang were left in the house.
Fu Guanzhang's body had basically cleared the toxins, and the abdominal injuries began to heal. He wanted to go home, but he thought that Hu Tianba's whereabouts had not been found yet. When he went back to see his grandmother, he felt guilty, so he decided to rest for a few more days here and continue to check. If he couldn't find out, he would simply not go home.
Lin Chenyao looked at him and asked, "Where did you go last night?"
Fu Guanzhang snorted coldly and said, "What? Do you want to check my whereabouts?"
Since that day, when he learned that Lin Chenyao was going to marry Miss Chu Wu, Fu Guanzhang no longer respected him. He has always been full of admiration for Lin Chenyao just like his elder brother. When he was a child, he always loved to follow him and do whatever he did, but now he has a lot of opinions about him.
Lin Chenyao ignored his attitude towards him and went straight to the topic: "Miss Wanfang is dead."
"Whoever dies is in my mind..." Fu Guanzhang originally planned to be more contemptuous to Lin Chenyao, so he didn't hear what he said clearly. He just filtered his words unconsciously, and his voice stopped abruptly. After a while, he reacted and asked in disbelief: "You, who did you just say died?"
"Wanfang, the song and dance genie who knew Hu Tianba."
Fu Guanzhang was very shocked and glared at him, "She... you found her, how did she die?"
Two days ago, because of the lack of poverty, Lin Chenyao asked him to rest. He would send someone to investigate, but he never told him how he had investigated. Now he told him that Wanfang is dead! Wanfang is an important clue for him to find Hu Tianba. How could she die like this?
Seeing Fu Guanzhang's shocked expression, Lin Chenyao knew that Wanfang's death had nothing to do with him, but, except for him knowing that he was looking for Wanfang, who else knew that he was in Wanfang?
Ye Cang knew that he was now the King of Qin, but the King of Qin had no reason to kill Wanfang?
He remembered that when Fu Shaode was reported back, he was with Xiao Jingxuan. When he heard the news, Xiao Jingxuan was shocked and blurted out that it was impossible and they could not die. Xiao Jingxuan was very concerned about Fu Shaode's death, but he fully supported Fu Guanzhang to find the murderer and assisted him from all sides. Therefore, the person who killed Wanfang was not what he wanted.
"Who did you reveal what Wanfang is about when you come back?" Lin Chenyao asked.
"I have been recuperating in the bamboo courtyard when I come back, and I haven't gone anywhere. I know that it's only you and the fourth brother, but he can't kill Wanfang. He always said that my father is a hero and shouldn't have died like this. He has always supported me in search of the murderer."
Fu Guanzhang and Xiao Jingxuan have a good relationship. He has given a lot of his own opinions on pursuing Hu Tianba, but every time he almost found out the truth, he cut the clues.
Even so, he never suspected that Xiao Jingxuan would betray him, and he had no reason to kill Wanfang.
Lin Chenyao frowned slightly and said, "Think about it again, where have you been to the past two days? Who has disclosed it to? Think about it carefully." He knew that Fu Guanzhang had gone out in the past two days and even returned to the Sect of the Gods. He was afraid that he would say something inadvertently and be speculated to go there.
"I..." Fu Guanzhang was about to say something, but suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Lin Chenyao didn't say anything, staring at Fu Guanzhang deeply. He knew that Fu Guanzhang must have remembered something. If he had guessed correctly, he had seen Fu Yinghua that night.
His guess was right. Fu Guanzhang remembered something. That day he went to the house that Lin Chenyao gave to Fu Yinghua. He originally wanted to see if his sister was hiding here. He was not wrong. Fu Yinghua was indeed there.
When she saw her, she cried sadly and asked him where he had been these days. The brother who had agreed to protect her had not seen anyone when she was wronged, and asked him if he wanted to abandon her too?
For this sister, he held it in his mouth and was afraid of melting it, and held it in his palm for fear of breaking it. He always cared carefully and never let her suffer any grievances. Now seeing her crying so sadly, his heart hurts as if it was scraped by a knife!
The only two brothers and sisters left in the third house of Duke E’s mansion. The two should support each other and trust each other. Therefore, he did not hide her and explained his whereabouts these days. He just wanted her to know that he did not abandon her. He was going to find the murderer who killed their parents and sisters.
Then Fu Yinghua asked him if he had found it? He saw that his face was not good. After asking, he knew that he was injured and poisoned, and cried even more sadly. He hugged him and cried, not allowed to leave without a word. What if he had something to do? Her father, mother and younger sister left her, but she didn't want to lose him.
Therefore, he did not hide it from her, told her everything, and promised to find Hu Tianba and avenge her parents and sister, his brother would fully support whatever she wanted to do.
This way she burst into tears and laughed, and said that she wanted nothing and just wanted to be with her brother forever.
However, he didn't believe that his sister would betray him. He was their parents and younger sister. If he found Wanfang, he could find Hu Tianba. Wu always wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible. He was very concerned about this matter and asked him about his progress from time to time.
Although Xiao Jingxuan has reminded him many times that no one can trust anyone, including the person he is closest to, he is his dearest sister. If she doesn't even believe it, then who else can believe it in the world?
"Did you tell Yingmao?" Lin Chenyao asked him softly.
"I...I mean, but I don't believe she would send someone to kill Wanfang." Fu Guanzhang argued for his sister: "She wants to find the murderer more than any of us. She was whipped and tortured by those people on the boat. If she hadn't jumped off the boat to death, she would have been...
Third brother, I believe she would not do that, and she had no reason to do this. That was her parents who gave birth to her. Unless people who were not even as good as beasts would be able to do it. But what you know best about her, right? Even the birds on the tree fell to the ground, she would climb up the tree regardless of the wind and rain, regardless of danger, and send the birds back to their parents. You have also read that article about her parents at such a young age. She is a very filial person, so I believe it is not her!"
Lin Chenyao understood Fu Guanzhang's mood because he didn't believe she would do that, but Fu Guanzhang just admitted that after he revealed Wanfang's affairs to her, almost at the same time, the Shadow's people found Wanfang.
He remembered Chu Xinyu's words, and she said, "You must remind Mr. Fu Wu not to tell his sister everything. If she really has a problem, you will never find out."
In fact, every time Fu Guanzhang had a clue, he would tell his sister, but every time he had a little bit of a look, he would break. They had never thought about this before, but after Wanfang's affairs, he had to think about this.
As for why Chu Xinyu thought so? She seemed to know a lot of things, but she didn't confess to him, why did she know that Zheng Ying had a snake tattoo on the back of her neck? Why did she suspect that Fu Yingfu was related to Shadow? Is it because Zheng Ying and Fu Yingfu have a close relationship? But why did Chu Xinyu know these?
She has been in Puling Temple for the past two years and should not know much about the outside world. Could it be that the girl told her in her dream?
Who is the girl in her dream? How could she know so clearly? She has the original works of "Mid-Autumn Night", and knows that the paintings copied in "Mid-Autumn Night" have secrets. She can draw her sister's paintings, know the stories of white swans, and draw white swans.
And these are something Fu Yinghua doesn't understand now. If she didn't look like her childhood sister, she would have thought she was pretending.
Imitation?
Lin Chenyao stood up suddenly, which scared Fu Guanzhang too.
"What's wrong with you?" Fu Guanzhang asked.
"You..." Lin Chenyao looked at Fu Guanzhang, and was suddenly hit by his guess, and there was a moment of blankness. If she was false, half of Chu Xinyu's suspicion was valid.
But if she pretended, how could no one notice it?
How could she be so bold to pretend? Isn’t she afraid of being exposed? Besides, if she was fake, how could she know that Fu Yinghua had so many things? Even the promise between him and her was known. The only thing worth exploring is her figure paintings, she can’t draw charcoal paintings.
"What am I?" Fu Guanzhang frowned. He had been paying attention to Lin Chenyao's expression just now. After he said a lot of words that he believed that his sister would not betray him, Lin Chenyao was silent. He didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe he was frightened by something just now and jumped up. He and Lin Chenyao's brothers for more than ten years were not in vain. He was calm and self-controlled and had never lost his composure like he had just now.
Lin Chenyao quickly returned to his usual calmness. His face, which was usually cold, looked a little unpredictable. He thought for a while and said, "Before Yinghuan returned to the capital, have you ever told you who looks more similar to her?"
Fu Guanzhang turned his head and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, this girl wrote me to me, all of which were talking nonsense, just like a chattering chat, but she never said who looked similar to her. Why did you suddenly ask this?"
Lin Chenyao's eyes flashed and he said, "It's nothing, just ask whatever you want."
He should not tell his guess just now before he found evidence, so as not to say Fu Guanzhang would accidentally say it. If she is true, it would not be too hurtful.
Fu Guanzhang said, "Third brother, I still said the same thing. I don't believe that my sister will kill Wanfang, and I don't believe that she will leak the matter. I want to ask you, why do you think that my sister leaked the matter, not the people around you?"
Lin Chenyao's face darkened and he said, "Guanzhang, I absolutely believe in my people."
"I believe in my sister too!" Fu Guanzhang stood up and said angrily: "Even if you don't want to marry my sister, don't say these words to slander her personality. Also, since you must marry the fifth girl of the Chu family, then you should take less care of our family's affairs in the future."
After saying that, he gently brushed his sleeves and walked out.
Walking out of Hua Zhaoxuan, Fu Guanzhang headed straight to the garden, where there were several sandbags hanging from trees. He blew them through them suddenly, and he treated them as an enemy who killed his father, and beat and kicked them without rules.
He has been in the Shenguan Sect for almost four years and has investigated many cases. Lin Chenyao's suspicion just now was actually very clear in his heart, but Fu Yinghua was his sister. When he was young, his family of five was forced to separate and could only rely on writing letters to maintain their relationship. Finally, the family could finally be reunited, but he did not expect that he would be separated from his parents before he was reunited.
My sister was only thirteen years old at that time. After experiencing such a thing, she almost collapsed. She kept blaming herself and saying that she was a broom star. If she hadn't said she wanted to take a boat and walk on the water, they wouldn't have met pirates. At that time, she felt so guilty that she wanted to commit suicide several times, but fortunately her maid discovered it.
They didn't tell outsiders about these things, including Lin Chenyao.
Lin Chenyao didn't know that his sister couldn't fall asleep every night. He was waiting outside her door day and night, playing her liked songs to help her fall asleep.
The song was composed by my father, and the music score was sent to him before. She said that she couldn't sleep when she was a child, so she asked my father to hum this song and she could fall asleep. He played this song for half a year, and the situation of my mother improved.
Now the third room is only the brother and sister. The younger sister is the one he vows to protect for the rest of his life. How can he believe that it is she who will leak Wanfang's affairs? If Wanfang's affairs are related to her, it means that she may be suspected of killing her parents?!
It is impossible for her sister to kill her parents. She must have leaked the news. Perhaps those people are also looking for Wanfang, and happened to find her at the same time. Lin Chenyao said that, but he didn't want to marry his sister, and wanted to use this to slander her.
"You guys quickly move these things to the backyard. The county chief will come tomorrow. She must be happy to see it."
Fu Guanzhang turned around and saw that the butler was directing the servant to move the flowerpot and move the blooming flowers to the most eye-catching place in the garden. He asked, "What's going on?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Tomorrow, the county mainly brought a few friends here to play, and told them to make the garden beautiful, and they might stay here for a few days."
Fu Guanzhang frowned, Lin Yu is coming?
