Chapter 309 Questioning
As the richest man in Baoling, the Fang family naturally spread all over Jiangnan Road.Although Yancheng is small, the Fang family also settled a house here.

After Fang Zhixiu's accident, Fang Zhiyao came to Yancheng and temporarily lived in the mansion here on Yancheng Street.Although it can't compare with the Fang family's ancestral house in Baoling, the house in Yancheng is not small.

In late autumn, the fallen leaves fluttered like butterflies in the mansion in Yancheng. Fang Zhiyao was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

This was what Fang Zhixiu saw when he arrived at the Fang family's mansion from the Yancheng county government office.

Sitting among the fallen leaves flying all over the sky, Fang Zhiyao had a calm expression and clear eyes. When he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, he instinctively raised his head and took a look here.After seeing Fang Zhixiu in sight, Fang Zhiyao nodded to her, then lowered his head again and continued to look through the account books.He didn't forget to say: "I've settled the accounts of the bank here in Yancheng, tidy up, let's go back to Baoling!"

Fang Zhixiu stopped in her tracks, bit her lip and looked at the calm Fang Zhiyao without saying a word.

Fang Zhiyao didn't know whether she didn't look up and didn't pay attention or didn't care at all, she didn't care until Fang Zhixiu replied, she paused, and then said: "Second sister, that girl is so blah, these days I heard that Baoling is coming. A lot of things happened. It's her luck that no accident happened so far. It's time for us to go back to Baoling. When we get back to Baoling, pay attention to the bank in Yuhang..."

"Big sister!" Fang Zhixiu, who bit her lip and looked at her, suddenly interrupted her at this moment, and looked at Fang Zhiyao, who kept moving her hands despite being interrupted, and paused for a while After that, Fang Zhixiu finally spoke out again, "Why didn't you tell me what you did?"

Fang Zhiyao, who had never stopped moving her hands before, finally stopped until now, and looked up at her with a cold and calm expression: "Sister, he did it voluntarily, I didn't force him."

However, Fang Zhixiu's face became paler and her whole body trembled. Even after staying in the prison of Yancheng Yamen for many days, there was never a moment when her face was more ugly than this time. She opened her mouth and repeated the previous words again: " Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Fang Zhiyao put her hands down on the account book, looked at Fang Zhixiu, thought for a while, and said seriously: "You can't stay in prison any longer. This matter is getting deeper and deeper, and it is very likely that we will not accept it in the end." Control. All prosperity, all losses, I don't mind losing one or two properties in exchange for you. But the problem now is that pulling one hair will affect the whole body. If you are not clean, the whole Fang family will be ruined. So, You can't have an accident. Besides, if an accident happens to us, the incident behind it will also be dug out, and not only the Fang family, but countless people may die for it. Third sister, you are different from the second sister, she will Hotheaded, you're different, you should know what I mean."

It was rare for Fang Zhiyao, who was concise and concise in the past, to say so much, and patiently explained, "He is different, he is alone and has nothing to worry about, not to mention that he did this..."

"Enough!" Fang Zhixiu said, looking at Fang Zhiyao in front of her, she looked calm, as if nothing could affect her emotions.Such a calm and almost unreasonable eldest sister may be a little scary to others, but she is familiar with it.

Yes, familiar.The elder sister is the mother, her parents died young, and she took over the Fang family's property at the age of 13, and with such calmness, she kept the Fang family, which is called "unprecedented" by ordinary people.

It is said that the elder sister is the mother, but she is more like a father. She, the second sister and the fourth younger sister always listen to everything the elder sister says without a word of doubt.

But right now, thinking of Zhou Fang who had been whipped all over in the prison just now, and Fang Zhiyao who looked calm and unmoved in front of him, Fang Zhixiu only felt a stagnation in his chest, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Sister, do you have a heart? Have you ever thought about us?" Fang Zhixiu looked at Fang Zhiyao in front of her, and Miss Fang San, who had been imprisoned for several months without shedding a tear, was looking at her with red eyes. Fang Zhiyao blurted out subconsciously, "Is it because the eldest sister's heart is on that person?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Zhiyao's face, who had been calm a moment ago, suddenly changed.

"Did I hit it?" Fang Zhixiu looked at Fang Zhiyao whose expression suddenly changed, felt a pang in her heart, and felt a little regretful, but when she thought of Zhou Fang who had been whipped, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief. "You can sacrifice the entire Fang family for him, but you want Zhou Fang to pay for his life?"

The words of Lin Shaoqing and Ji Shizi in prison are still ringing in my ears: to kill the incumbent imperial court official, according to the law, he should be punished by Ling Chi and other capital punishments.Lin Yan, when you wrote it, you helped him with some kind words, so let him have a good time!

Why?Fang Zhixiu looked at Fang Zhiyao, and couldn't help raising her voice: "I have never questioned my eldest sister's decision since I was a child. But this decision...I don't accept it!"

"You're not convinced? But have you asked Zhou Fang?" In Fang Zhixiu's words, Fang Zhiyao had already recovered her initial calm. Over the years, the heavy responsibility on her shoulders had taught her to remain calm and rational all the time.

"Why did I pour out the entire Fang family? What did Zhou Fang do for it?" Fang Zhiyao looked at Fang Zhixiu, who was no longer calm in the past, with teary eyes in front of her, fell silent, sighed, and said, "Axiu, what do you think? Sister has no heart? If I don’t have the heart, why did I push off the matter of Baoling and come to Yancheng for so long?”

Fang Zhixiu lowered her eyes and regretted what she said just now, her words were like knives... But, she couldn't let Zhou Fang die like this!

Seeing that Fang Zhixiu pursed her lips and said nothing, Fang Zhiyao was silent for a moment and then said, "What's more, the one who killed Chen Wanshan... was Zhou Fang."

Zhou Fang was indeed the murderer, but the motive was not that simple.

……

……

"This Zhou Fang is indeed the murderer." Lin Yan faced Chen Wanshan's body in front of him. It has been several months since the incident happened. Even though it was kept in the ice storage, the body of Chen Wanshan in front of him couldn't bear to look directly at him, and he couldn't see his true colors anymore. .

"There's nothing wrong with that." Lin Yan said, looking at Chen Wanshan's body, and sighed, "But things other than the case are obviously not as simple as killing one and being killed."

Ji Chongyan nodded, "Yes".

Lin Yan looked at Chen Wanshan's body, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "It's not like some illiterate martial artist has taken a fancy to the third young lady of the richest family. Killing someone for love and father is as simple as that."

Ji Chongyan let out a "hmm" again.

Such a concise "um" may be difficult for others to understand his meaning, but Lin Yan has no such troubles. If you can't understand it, you can guess. If you guess wrong, Chongyan will stop it. What are you afraid of?
"That's it, let me go back to Mr. Ji first? After all, this case has dragged on for long enough!" Lin Yan said, "The case should be closed..."

Before the clinker finished speaking, Ji Chongyan suddenly interrupted his words at this moment: "It's too late, so I'm not in a hurry."

Today's "um" Lin Yan's guess was obviously wrong, and he didn't want to close the case just like that.
