Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

When Li Shuangwan saw Cui Jingyu, he was also stunned and quickly looked towards Gu Xingyan.

The man raised his eyebrows at him and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Li Shuangwan understood that Gu Xingyan was from Daliang, and it was indeed inconvenient for him, a native of Daliang, to participate in the case of the Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, as the eldest son of the Marquis of Jing'an, it would be best for Cui Jingyu to come forward.

Fan Jiang smiled and said, "It's Young Marquis Cui. An innocent person died in the Shulan Courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, and we are indeed investigating the case. Young Marquis Cui, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Cui Jingyu curled his lips and said, "Oh, there really is something. I just came from Qingxi Lane. When I passed by a house with a sign saying 'Lin's House', I saw a few people acting suspiciously."

"They all had knives in their hands, and they looked like they were going to attack that family. Someone had already rushed into the yard and grabbed a child of seven or eight years old and was about to attack him."

Mrs. Lin was shocked. When she looked at Xu, she saw that she was avoiding her gaze with a guilty look on her face.

Mother Lin knelt down before Cui Jingyu and asked in a trembling voice: "Cui, Young Marquis Cui, those are my family members. Do they have... my little grandson..."

Cui Jingyu still had that cynical look on his face: "Oh, isn't this Nanny Lin who works for Madam Xu from the second branch of the Li family? Could it be that the 'Lin family' is Nanny's family?"

"Yes, it's my husband's family, Young Marquis Cui, my little grandson, is there any..."

Cui Jingyu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Madam Lin. I have already controlled those bad guys. I just heard that Master Fan was here, so I came to inform Master Fan."

"Madame Lin, what are you kneeling for?"

He glanced at everyone in the courtyard and then looked at Fan Jiang: "Master Fan, could it be that the case in Shulan Courtyard is related to Nanny Lin?"

Fan Jiang nodded slightly: "Based on the evidence we have so far, Lin is indeed the most likely suspect, but the case is still under investigation."

Cui Jingyu seemed confused: "This is strange. Since Nanny Lin is suspected of murder, why would anyone want to deal with his family?"

As he spoke, he tutted his tongue twice: "From the looks of them, it's clear that they are going to kill people. Lord Fan, I have already sent those villains to the Jingzhao government office and ordered them to be locked up first."

However, after hearing what Cui Jingyu said, Xu was already frightened to the point of turning pale.

Even Li Yuanming's expression changed.

Then he saw Cui Jingyu holding something in his hand, a purse with a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and handed it to Fan Jiang.

"When I was leaving, I saw this thing falling from the leader of the gangsters, so I took it. Lord Fan, do you recognize it?"

Fan Jiang took it, looked at it, shook his head, and handed it to his assistant: "This case will have to wait until I finish my work here and return to Jingzhao Prefecture to investigate. These are two different cases, so I need to try them separately."

Cui Jingyu raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly: "Okay. Then I will not disturb Lord Fan from hearing the case."

Fan Jiang nodded at him: "Thank you, Young Marquis Cui."

Cui Jingyu waved his hand casually: "It's a small matter."

"I recognize him!" Just as the two finished speaking, Mrs. Lin suddenly screamed.

At this moment her face was full of hatred, and she hated herself for being so blind.

After serving the vicious Xu for decades and doing so many evil things for her, she even spared no effort on her own family members!

Fan Jiang frowned slightly.

Mrs. Lin stared at Xu with an angry look on her face and said sternly, "Second Madam, I have served you for decades and have been loyal to you. I know that I have never done anything to let you down or to the Second House."

"If you want me to take the blame for killing Xing'er, I will accept it! As long as you are willing to give my family something to eat, why did you still kill them?"

Xu was so angry that her face turned red: "Mrs. Lin, what nonsense are you talking about!"

She turned to Li Yuanming and questioned her son with her eyes why he killed Mrs. Lin's family.

Li Yuanming's heart skipped a beat. He had clearly instructed the guard to keep an eye on Mrs. Lin's family and warn them not to talk nonsense.

There was never an order to kill their family.

But what does Cui Jingyu mean by this?

No, that guard would never dare to act on his own.

So, Cui Jingyu is lying!

But he couldn't say this in front of Fan Jiang.

Otherwise, the crime of silencing would be pinned on him.

Of course, as long as Fan Jiang returned to Jingzhao Prefecture and brought those people in for trial, he would know that Cui Jingyu did not tell a single truth.

In this way, Mrs. Lin will not blame her mother.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Lin pointed at the thing in the hands of the yamen runner beside Fan Jiang and sneered.

"Am I talking nonsense? Oh, this is the purse that Du Sheng, the second housekeeper, has always hung around his waist. It was embroidered for him by his wife herself, and she even showed it off in front of me. How could I admit my mistake?"

Xu was so anxious that tears were about to fall: "Madam Lin, believe me, I have never given such an order. If you don't believe me, we can confront each other face to face."

Mrs. Lin was filled with hatred: "Face to face? Second Madam, if it weren't for Young Marquis Cui's intervention, all four members of my Lin family would have been killed by you, right?"

"I, I didn't, Aunt Lin, you have to believe me, I really didn't."

Unfortunately, Xu's defense seemed pale and powerless.

Li Yuanming bowed to Fan Jiang and said, "Master Fan, if that's the case, why don't you order someone to bring Du Sheng and the others here so that we can talk to my mother and Nanny Lin right now? Is that okay?"

Just as Fan Jiang was about to say yes, Cui Jingyu patted his head and said, "Look at me, I forgot such an important thing."

As he spoke, he took out a signed paper from his sleeve and handed it to Fan Jiang: "Master Fan, I saw those people acting sneaky at the time, so I ordered someone to take it and asked them to write this confession on the spot."

"I didn't look closely at what was written on it. Sir Fan, take a look and see if it is related to this case?"

Fan Jiang was a little surprised at Cui Jingyu's behavior, but he didn't say anything. He took it and opened it to read.

Cui Jingyu said in annoyance, "I remembered that I should give this confession to the officer after I took him to the Jingzhao government office. How could I have forgotten it? Alas, the water in Shengjing City really conflicts with me. My memory has become bad and my brain is not working well anymore."

Fan Jiang unfolded the confession in front of Xu: "Second Madam, do you have anything else to explain?"

After seeing the contents clearly, Xu opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word, and her face was so pale that it could not be described.

It was clearly written on the confession that Du Sheng and several others were ordered by the second master of the Zhenguo Mansion to go to the Lin residence to silence the witnesses.

He ordered Du Sheng and others to kill all the people in Lin's house to prevent future troubles.

"Sir, can you let me see it, sir?" Mrs. Lin crawled to Fan Jiang.

Since it was a confession, she should have been shown it.

Fan Jiang shook the letter in front of Mrs. Lin.
