Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

His eyes moved through the crowd and noticed that Zhang Wuya had a sad face and was looking at her parents worriedly. He already had something in mind.

"I have already started an in-depth investigation. The potatoes from the Zhang family have been sent for inspection. The coroner is also carefully checking the cause of your brother's death."

Fan Yunfu spoke seriously and decided to handle the matter strictly according to the law to clear the Zhang family's grievances.

He knew very well that any favoritism or negligence might shake the scales of justice and damage the reputation of Qingming.

Soon, a constable came to report: "Sir, after inspection, the deceased was indeed poisoned by food, accompanied by trace amounts of poison. However, the potatoes and seasonings provided by the Zhang family were tested with silver needles and proved to contain no toxins."

This notice, like sunshine that clears away the fog, allows the truth to gradually surface.

"Sir, my brother died because he ate their potatoes. Please give us justice. After all, this is about a precious life!"

With tears in his eyes, the strong man tried to infect the people around him with his sadness, and cleverly used the banner of morality to add a touch of justice to his own goals.

At this time, a vendor selling scallion pancakes mixed in with the onlookers and shouted from the back: "Human lives are at stake. Your Excellency must conduct a thorough investigation. That snack stand receives countless diners every day. If there is really a food safety issue, it must be severely punished!"

His words stirred up a thousand waves, and the crowd boiled over, unanimously demanding justice for the deceased.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The three bangs of the gavel were deafening.

"Silence! Anyone who disturbs the order again will be punished with ten strokes of the cane!"

This majestic shout moved everyone present. Adults and children alike held their breath, fearing that they would get into trouble.

Fan Yunfu nodded slightly, motioned his attendant An Yu to come closer, and whispered, "An Yu, quickly order Zhu Jin to investigate the relationship between the deceased and the accuser, and at the same time find out whether the Zhang family is really involved."

"Yes, sir, I will do it immediately."

An Yu took the order and left quickly.

Fan Yunfu slammed the gavel again and asked, "What is your relationship with the deceased?"

The sturdy man prostrated himself on the ground, his voice trembling with fear: "Your Excellency is wise. He and I are like brothers. Please punish the vicious vendor severely to prevent more innocent people from being harmed."

Fan Yunfu's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's and he saw through the strong man's insincere excuses.

He originally planned to adjourn the court temporarily and wait for more evidence to be in hand before continuing the trial, but considering the Zhang family's reputation, he decided to adopt a delaying strategy and look for a breakthrough in the details.

Time seemed to stand still; half an hour felt like a century. The crowd began to feel impatient and prepared to disperse.

At this time, Zhu Jin rushed back, exhausted, and reported respectfully: "Sir, it has been found out. The so-called deceased is named Shang San, and he was a homeless beggar."

"How dare you! How dare you lie to me! I ask you again, what is your relationship with the deceased?"

Fan Yunfu shouted angrily, and the sturdy man broke out in a cold sweat. His eyes flickered and finally drifted towards a figure in the crowd. He made a secret decision in his heart and prepared to go all out.

"My Lord, please be fair. My third brother and I are like brothers, but his family has fallen on hard times and he has to take care of his sick mother, so his life is difficult. When I found him that day, he hadn't eaten for two days. Out of kindness, I took him to find something to eat. But when we passed by the potato stall, my third brother suddenly couldn't walk, so..."

When Xu Liyun heard this, her eyes were like a sharp sword that could penetrate hypocrisy as she stared straight at the sturdy man. Fortunately, the Baiyun County Magistrate was fair and selfless, otherwise the outcome would have been unimaginable.

Seeing this, Zhu Jin bowed deeply again, his attitude respectful yet solemn, showing his respect for the current situation.

Fan Yunfu waved his hand, signaling An Yu, who was standing beside him, to step back for the time being, looking confident.

Not long after, An Yu returned silently, leaned close to Fan Yunfu's ear, whispered continuously, and poured the newly acquired information slowly into Fan Yunfu's heart like a trickle.

These whispers seemed to add a bit of mystery and urgency to the already tense atmosphere.

After hearing the secret report, Fan Yunfu's frown gradually relaxed, and his eyes seemed to be filled with spring breeze. He turned gently and deeply to the anxious Zhang Wuya, silently conveying stability and strength, as if telling her that everything was under his control.

"Please ask Peng Xiaohai to come here immediately."

Although Fan Yunfu's voice was soft, it had an irresistible power. As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed to have triggered some mechanism.

A moment later, a thin child, about six or seven years old, wearing tattered clothes, staggered into everyone's sight.

His big, ignorant eyes were filled with confusion and puzzlement. He seemed not to fully understand how the government found him and why they brought him here.

With a trembling voice, he asked in a voice that only he could hear: "Uncle, where is my father?"

Seeing this, Fan Yunfu's expression softened, but his eyes were filled with determination. He asked softly, "Child, do you know this person?"

His words revealed his concern for Peng Xiaohai and his desire for the truth.

Peng Xiaohai tilted his head slightly, timidly glanced at the sturdy man kneeling on the ground, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I don't know him."

Then, Fan Yunfu turned his eyes sharply towards the burly man, and his tone became even harsher, with each word like a heavy hammer hitting people's hearts: "So, have you ever seen this child?"

The sturdy man's heart was suddenly filled with dark clouds. He was puzzled and secretly tried to figure out the possible connection between this child and his employer.

There seemed to be an invisible pressure in the air, and all eyes were focused on one place, waiting for a decisive moment to arrive.

Fan Yunfu's brows sank, and he moved decisively, gently raising his hand to signal Zhu Jin to walk towards the corpse covered with white cloth.

Zhu Jin carefully lifted the white cloth, revealing the familiar yet unfamiliar face. Peng Xiaohai's eyes instantly turned red, and he choked up in his throat. He called out tremblingly, "Dad..."

Afterwards, he fell in front of the stretcher like a kite with a broken string, and his tears rolled down silently like beads with broken strings, but there was no sound of crying. Only the rolling hot tears silently told of the grief in his heart.

Xu Liyun, who was watching this scene, felt infinite pity in her heart and deep sympathy for the fate of the orphan and his widow. At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder how many unknown secrets were hidden behind this?

Upon seeing this sudden change, the scallion pancake stall owner quietly tried to slip away in an attempt to escape the chaotic scene.

The sturdy man was also panic-stricken at this moment. He thought it was just a simple money transaction, but he never thought that he would be involved in a crisis concerning human life. The fear and confusion in his heart were entangled like vines.
