I became the villain's deceased wife

Fan You died and was convicted.

But his family had not yet been finally convicted and was temporarily detained in the Dali Temple.

Logically speaking, for a crime as serious as colluding with the prince to commit treason, the entire family should be executed.

But the old emperor was exhausted after dealing with Concubine Rong and the third prince and was unwilling to care about it anymore.

Let Lin Jingyu and Xie Yunzhe handle it.

Xie Yunzhe and Fan Shixuan still have unfinished business to settle.

Early the next morning.

He interrogated Fan Shixuan, the little tyrant who once dominated the capital.

Unlike yesterday's arrogance, Fan Shixuan seems much more low-key today.

A night in jail, plus the news of his father's tragic death.

He became dishevelled and depressed.

"Thank... Thank you Yunzhe?

My father...is really dead!"

He still couldn't quite believe it.

Growing up, his father never took much care of him at home.

But it has always been his spiritual support.

He also knew that the reason he could act so powerful in the capital was all thanks to the support of his father, the prime minister.

Xie Yunzhe nodded.

He stabbed him to death with his own hands.

It really couldn’t be truer!

Fan Shixuan suddenly burst into tears.

At first, the tears were just falling one by one, but slowly they became a continuous line.

Then he started crying loudly!

"Wow……

My father... is the prime minister!

How could he die?

Wow……

he died.

I...what should I do?

Wow……"

Xie Yunzhe originally came to question the crime.

But when I saw Fan Shixuan crying, his tears and snot were mixed together and he was sobbing uncontrollably.

He suddenly felt a little sympathetic.

at least.

Fan Shixuan was able to cry happily after his father died.

But he was like that back then.

She also had to take care of her sick mother and younger brother.

Even crying can only be done secretly by myself, hiding in the quilt.

He reached out and took out a handkerchief and handed it to Fan Shixuan.

Didn't interrupt him.

"Wow……

Thank you...thank you! "

Fan Shixuan took the handkerchief and wiped his face.

Keep crying...

I don't know how long he cried before he gradually calmed down, his shoulders shaking.

Xie Yunzhe felt that it was time to ask questions.

“Fan Shixuan.

Your father, Fan You, colluded with concubines and princes, trafficked in human beings, and attempted rebellion.

Do you know about this?"

"Wow……

My father is the prime minister.

How could he... how could he possibly rebel...

Wow……"

The tears that were just held back.

Suddenly it burst out again.

Xie Yunzhe had no choice but to find another handkerchief for him.

It looked like he knew nothing.

And he can't mention his father anymore.

"Ask a different question."

When Fan Shixuan finally stopped crying, Xie Yunzhe stood up and walked to him.

"Why did you instruct Zhu Feng to harm me in Fenglin County last year?

And Xie Bocheng and Xie Boyong, are they also your subordinates?"

Fan Shixuan was blowing his nose.

The second handkerchief also became sticky.

He was stunned when he heard this and raised his head in confusion.

"Who?"

Xie Yunzhe frowned.

“Zhu Feng.

The story of Qiuchan Bookstore.

Isn’t he yours?”

Fan Shixuan looked confused.

Xie Yunzhe felt that his reaction was not right.

So he reminded.

"I heard that you privately acquired many properties in order to prove your ability to Fan You.

In order to curry favor with Fan You, many local officials gave a lot of assets to him in their personal names.

This Qiuchan Bookstore is one of them."

Fan Shixuan finally remembered what he was saying.

A look of understanding appeared on his face.

"You're talking about that.

It is true that someone wants to give me some property.

But my father is the prime minister, why would I need any property?

I wanted to refuse.

But Lu Ruijun said, I don’t have to ask anything and I will get money every year.

I thought that although my father had never lacked me for money, what if I got into trouble one day and would not dare to go home.

Isn't there a safety net?

So just...

I promised. "

He had only just realized it now.

Is he taking bribes on behalf of his father?

Could it be that his father’s death and his crime were caused by his secret acceptance of things?

Thinking of this, Fan Shixuan curled his lips and tears couldn't stop flowing out.

"Wow……

father.

I’m sorry for you…”

Xie Yunzhe had really had enough, he frowned and shouted angrily.

"do not Cry!"

Fan Shixuan was startled and stopped crying immediately.

But the tears were still on his face, half-fallen.

Looking very aggrieved.

Xie Yunzhe let out a breath.

This……

Just like coaxing a child.

But judging from Fan Shixuan's reaction, it seemed that he had no idea what happened in Fenglin County.

Isn't it him?

“When I was in Fenglin, I was falsely accused of murder by a man named Zhu Feng, and I almost lost my life in prison.

This matter.

Did you order someone to do this?"

Fan Shixuan stopped crying instantly and stared at him:

“I’m just full!

You have been driven out of the capital, and it doesn't bother me at all.

Why would I run all the way to deal with you? "

Xie Yunzhe stared at him intently, trying to tell from his expression whether he was lying.

Fan Shixuan thought he didn't believe it.

Efforts to justify:

“Yes, I really didn’t like you when I was a kid.

Your father doesn't hold a high position in the government, but you act so arrogant all day long and don't even take me seriously.

That's why I always target you.

But later your father got into trouble and you were banished from the capital, so there was no need for me to hold on to you anymore.

Let’s talk about that county…

I haven’t heard of it at all!”

Xie Yunzhe touched his chin.

"So after you took over these businesses, who took care of them for you?"

Not Fan Shixuan himself.

It is also possible that they knew that he disliked Xie Yunzhe and deliberately targeted him in order to please him.

But Fan Shixuan still looked confused.

“Take care of it?

Does running a shop require management?

Isn't there a shopkeeper looking after the store? "

Xie Yunzhe was a little depressed.

It turns out that he is a real second-generation rich kid who knows nothing.

"Then who gave you the money after you took over these properties?"

I don’t know the place and how to manage it.

You should know how to collect money, right?

Fan Shixuan thought about it.

"You mean the money sent by the store?

These were all given to me by Lü Ruijun."

Xie Yunzhe was stunned.

Lu Ruijun.

The young master of Yongping Marquis’ Mansion!

is it him?

Follow him yourself.

What hatred and resentment!

"Xie Yunzhe.

I don’t actually collect much.

It's only about three to five hundred taels every month.

If it's illegal, I'll just return it.

Can……

But this won’t cost my father his life!

Wow……"

Xie Yunzhe felt mixed emotions.

Yes, three to five hundred taels.

In the eyes of these rich kids, it means nothing.

But his father lost his life.

"Take the person back and keep him under good care!"

Xie Yunzhe signaled Li Qi to take the person away.

"Xie Yunzhe, my father is dead.

What about my mother?

I want to see my mother!"

Fan Shixuan was still shouting when he left.

But Xie Yunzhe was very confused and didn't say anything.

Fan Shixuan was dragged by Li Qi and taken back to prison.

"Thank you, Shaoqing."

As soon as the person left, the gatekeeper came in to question him.

"The young master of the Lu family is here. He said he wants to meet his good friend Fan Shixuan and asked if he could come in."

Xie Yunzhe looked up immediately.

"Which Lu family?

Is it Yongping Marquis's youngest son, Lü Ruijun?"

The bailiff nodded:

"Yes, that's him.

He also brought a food box to bring food to Fan Shixuan.

But he is a serious criminal, and we dare not let him go without your order!"

Xie Yunzhe then put on his official hat and patted the yamen runner on the shoulder.

"well done!"

As he said that, he prepared to go out.

"I'll go meet him in person. You don't have to worry about this."
