Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 767: Be Bold

On the day Wu Xunsheng bought Nie Yangwei's old brand from the stall owner, Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng picked up several pursuit leads near the place where the stall owner picked up the brand. When she returned to Tiecangting to go to the Guishen Hall to discuss the murder of Lan Haoxuan with Tan Sizhi, she had already shown the brand and the pursuit lead to Tan Sizhi. Li Yu was also there at the time, so when she mentioned that Nie Yangwei's old brand was also thrown outside, everyone who heard her knew exactly what was going on.

"Acting clan leader, who do you think injured Jian Yueyang?" Tan Sizhi asked.

"I can't guess it at the moment, but I don't think it was Nie Yangwei who hit him. What do you think?" Tie Hongyan asked Tan Sizhi after he finished speaking.

"I think what the acting patriarch said makes sense." Tan Sizhi said.

"I think Nie Yangwei didn't go back to Tiecang Court during those three days. Whether this is true or not requires further investigation. Yesterday I sent people to secretly look for Nie Yangwei, but they all failed to find him. Nie Yangwei didn't go back to Zonghuang Palace, nor did he meet Elder Nie. After I gave the order to change the badge, he didn't come out. He would rather lose his identity as Yue Yang than show up. What kind of thing made him so scared to come to see me? If it was because he injured Jian Rou's leg, he wouldn't have to do this. People in Tiecang Court who know him a little bit know that he is usually arrogant and unwilling to admit even if he did something wrong. But just now he neither resisted nor spoke, and looked like he accepted the punishment, which is a bit abnormal. I think the reason why he is very willing to admit that he injured Jian Rou's leg is probably because the two events happened at the same time. The severity of injuring Jian Rou's leg by chasing and attacking is less serious than murder. His admission that he injured Jian Rou is equivalent to denying that he was the murderer of Lan Haoxuan. However, Jian Rou herself said that he injured her, and Tian Wen also said so, so this matter is not that simple." Tie Hongyan said.

Tan Sizhi showed a nervous expression again and said, "If things are as the Acting Clan Leader said, then this matter involves Jian Yueyang and Tian Yueyang."

"Maybe Jian Rou and Tian Wen are not completely clear about what Nie Yangwei did." Tie Hongyan said.

"That's better." said Tan Sizhi.

"Of course, if Jian Rou and Tian Wen use the fact that she was injured during the pursuit to help him clear the suspicion of murder, then we can only do what we can. After all, this matter is not a trivial matter. I can understand your feelings, so I will try my best to protect you at that time. I also hope that you can deal with this matter boldly and give a reasonable explanation to the victim and her relatives and friends. Thinking from the perspective of the victim and her relatives and friends will help to overcome the fear deep in your heart. If you receive any threats in the future, let me know directly and I will help you deal with it. Do you believe me?" Tie Hongyan said to Tan Sizhi.

"Of course I believe it." Tan Sizhi said.

"Can you just do it?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"The acting clan leader even said that to me. If I still don't dare, it would be too unreasonable! I will try my best. As the acting clan leader said, thinking from the perspective of the victims and their relatives and friends can indeed help overcome the fear deep in our hearts." said Tan Sizhi.

"Sometimes people will be afraid before doing something, but later they find that the danger is not as great as they had imagined. They may even think that if they had not imagined things to be so terrible before, they would be in a better state during the process." Tie Hongyan said.
