Fairy, I really am a villain!

"Tan Qing...oh."

Song Canxing wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he found that the merchant's head had drooped and he was motionless.

As soon as he let go, his body fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"It's really boring. Go and call that guy in."

"Yes."

~~

As soon as Liu Zhuo entered the door, he saw someone lying on the ground.

Seeing this, he hurriedly lifted the hem of his official robe to avoid being soiled by this man; just as he was about to ask, he looked down and found a deep mark on the back of his neck.

"he died?"

Startled, Liu Zhuo looked at the young man in the main seat and frowned, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered if you kill him here?"

"Everyone here is my person, who will find out?"

"ha..."

He sat down opposite Song Canxing and felt some warmth under his butt, which suddenly made him feel cold in his heart.

This is where the dead man just sat.

"Mr. Song, what are you talking about?"

"He didn't do a good job, so I killed him. Is that weird?"

"...No, there isn't." Liu Zhuo subconsciously picked up the wine glass, but found that it was also hot, and he dropped it to the ground.

"I knew Lord Liu would understand," Song Canxing clapped his hands and smiled, "So, how are you doing?"

Wow!

In an instant, Liu Zhuo reacted, quickly grabbed the table and flipped it over, then turned around and ran outside.

However, the guards on both sides were well prepared. They grabbed him from the left and right and lifted him into the air.

"Let me go!" Liu Zhuo struggled frantically and screamed, "Help! Someone is killing me!!"

His voice disappeared into the night.

"Although I think it's unlikely..." Song Canxing slowly walked in front of him and narrowed his eyes: "Master Liu, are you colluding with Fang Xingyun?"

"I don't!"

"Then why didn't you kill him in court, and instead made him the chief clerk of the Dali Temple? Oh, he helped you at first, didn't he?

Was that a subconscious action?"

"How should I know! That's right, he wanted to frame me!" Seeing that he couldn't escape, Liu Zhuo quickly changed his words: "Fang Xingyun wanted to win me over, after all, I am his direct subordinate.

He had a hard time gaining a foothold when he first came to the Six Gates, so he wanted to use me..."

Snapped!

Song Canxing slapped him hard and said with a fierce smile: "So, you agreed?"

"I didn't agree. I never agreed!"

Half of Liu Zhuo's face was swollen, several of his teeth were crooked, and blood was flowing out, but he was still arguing.

"Humph."

After staring at him for a while, Song Canxing nodded secretly.

No matter what, Liu Zhuo was an official of moderate status, and it would be difficult to explain to his superiors if he was killed.

Just when he was about to stop knocking here, the entrance to the villa suddenly became chaotic, and from afar he could see many torches moving on the road.

'They are here to save me? Who are they?'

Suddenly, Liu Zhuo's face turned pale, as if he understood something.

"Liu Zhuo! Are you there, Lord Liu? If you hear me, please answer me. I'll bring some people to help you!!"

For a moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body was cold.

...This is Fang Xingyun's voice.

The young man's gentle voice was filled with urgency, and he strained his throat: "Master Liu, I am your dear boss! I have brought people from the Six Gates to rescue you!"

In just a moment, Song Canxing's expression turned sinister and he grabbed him by the collar: "You bastard, you colluded with him and sold out our location?!"

"I didn't, he found it himself! I, I am innocent!!"

Liu Zhuo was telling the truth, but no one believed him.

"puff."

A long knife easily pierced through his chest and abdomen, twisted it a bit, and then pulled it hard, causing his internal organs to fall to the ground with a loud noise, which was extremely terrifying.

"Young Master, let's go quickly." The ruthless guard urged, and Song Canxing nodded.

He ran all the way to the back door of the villa, and looked around reluctantly. He felt angry and heartbroken, but he could only curse with gritted teeth: "It's Fang Xingyun again, damn it!!"

Kick, kick, kick, kick!

The sound of chaotic footsteps was heard, and Song Canxing fled out of the back door with a few others. They quickly moved away from the villa and disappeared into the long night.

Chapter 342 Qualifications for Trial

That night, at Taohua Winery outside the city.

The mountain road is shaded and brightly lit.

A group of people rushed into the courtyard in a hurry, their red clothes looked bright under the light of the torches.

The leader, the young man in brocade clothes, was giving orders. The detectives split into two groups, one to pursue the escaped murderers, and the other to stay outside the courtyard.

"Hurry up! Everyone, be alert. The murderer might come back and try to destroy the evidence!"

"Yes!"

After a few days of running-in, Fang Xiwen has become familiar with most of his subordinates and is now quite capable of executing orders.

The group began to search the villa inside and out.

"Master Fang, here!"

Following the voice of the constable, he walked into the inner room of the villa and saw a mess.

The interior decoration is like a bridal chamber, with reddish tones and an ambiguous atmosphere;

The ground was in a mess, with many dishes that had fallen from the table, corpses, plate fragments, blood and internal organs mixed together, clearly distinguished between red and white, and looked extremely terrifying under the night sky.

There were two people lying on the ground, their faces turned sideways. Fang Xiwen knew them both.

"How is he?" He pointed to the merchant.

"He's already dead," the constable kneeling beside him shook his head and retracted his hand. "There are deep marks on his neck and some tears on his trouser legs. He must have struggled hard before he died."

"...Yeah."

Fang Xiwen squatted down and reached out to close the merchant's eyes.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side, sounding weak and powerless: "Fang, Fang Xingyun..."

Turning his head, he saw a man in a green robe. His originally ruddy complexion had turned pale due to blood loss, and his lips were a little purple. He was trembling as he spoke. It was Liu Zhuo, who was once so powerful in the court.

"Lord Liu?"

Fang Xiwen turned around, looking surprised: "Ah, how did you get hurt like this?"

Seeing his pretentious expression, Liu Zhuo was so angry that he almost wanted to kill him with a knife; but given the current situation, he could only endure it and said humbly: "Please, save me..."

He grabbed Fang Xiwen's trouser leg tremblingly and begged.

He raised his hand to stop the detectives who wanted to come forward. He took out a stack of documents from his arms without hurrying and said with a smile: "If there is no hurry, Lord Liu, talk to me first, and I will think about how to save you."

Not urgent?

I****!!

However, Liu Zhuo also understood that his life was in his hands, so he reluctantly nodded despite the pain.

"Tell me one thing at a time. Lord Liu, you did a pretty good job of giving false testimony before. I found out that you had dealings with several banks in the city, and then I followed the clues and found that you seemed to have raised some desperate criminals from the evil ways... Is that right?"

Fang Xiwen turned a page of the document, and Liu Zhuo nodded: "Yes, that's right."

"what for?"

"A lot of dirty work. For example, when some noble families commit serious crimes and cannot be suppressed, the deputy prime minister will come to me to win them over and ask me to get some corpses with similar body shapes and pretend that they committed suicide out of fear of crime, so that these people can hide outside for a few years and then come back..."

"I see, no wonder you are so skilled."

"I, I do it often," Liu Zhuo tried his best to show his worth, pulling his trouser leg tightly: "Just like the thing you did before, if I had helped you, you wouldn't have been exiled from the capital and implicated Xuanping Hou..."

——The thing that happened before.

In fact, the reason why the Third Young Master was expelled from the Divine Capital was no different from what Song Canxing did, both of them forcibly abducted a woman.

During an outing, he fell in love with a girl from a fishing family at first sight. Instigated by his servants, he not only raped her, but also forced her to return to Fang's mansion to serve him.

Later, the fisher girl's fiancé came to ask for an explanation, but was beaten to death by the servants in the mansion. When the fisher girl learned about this, she committed suicide and followed her lover.

Both of them were honest fishermen, and it was said that they were engaged to each other as children.

"What I mean is that you have done a lot of things like this?" Fang Xiwen looked very interested and smiled.

"Yes! As long as you save me, I will sell my life to you, so——"

"Hmm," he said without comment, and flipped through the documents again, "There is one more thing, Lord Liu. How much do you know about the Cao family being raided and almost the entire family being exiled? Why can't I find it in the Six Gates' files?"

"Because, someone hid him..." Due to excessive blood loss, Liu Zhuo's consciousness has gradually become blurred and his speech has become slow.

"Who?"

"You save me first—"

In his pleading eyes, Fang Xiwen shook her head: "If you don't tell me, I will check it myself. You have contributed a lot to the Cao family's affairs, right? According to the records, you have interrogated five "evil people" in their family, which is aggravated... These are all fake, right?"

"So what? I'm just an accomplice. I'm just a small official—" "Small official?"
