Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

On the top of the willow tree on the moon, Zhao Yi saw off Zhao Da's two drinking buddies, hurried back to the interrogation room, and asked anxiously, "Master Su, how is the situation?"

As always, Su Jizhi responded lightly, "Almost, no difference from the records in the file."

Zhao Yi's face was covered with disappointment.

A gust of wind blew by, and Su Jizhi raised his eyelids slightly to look at Zhao Yi, and asked softly, "Zhao Ren is over forty and hasn't married a wife yet. Among the boatmen on the Canglan River, he should be living a good life, right?"

Zhao Yi nodded, "Brother was injured when he was young. Although he didn't have any serious problems later on, the woman always cared about it when we got married. Later, my brother didn't care about it. He was alone all these years, and all his money was used to help my younger brother. gone."

"Oh?"

"I'm ashamed to say that my parents didn't have time to grow up. My brother pulled me up alone. He was going to get married, but something happened. My brother hurt his foot. The woman insisted on retiring. My brother couldn't help it. Later, he fell in love with him. After being injured a few times, I broke my heart."

"Isn't Zhao Ren earning a lot of money?"

"Well, my brother is capable and not picky. He takes on jobs that everyone doesn't like, and actually makes people around him feel dissatisfied. I know this, but my brother is also very hard-working, so I just let him. Do whatever you want."

"The deceased was a porcelain dealer. I have read the files. When he died, his silver taels were gone. What do you think about this?"

Zhao Yi was a little excited, "Lord Su, if you say that my brother is not short of money, I definitely can't say that, but why did my brother kill people for money? It's a little unreasonable, our family has no urgent money, and my brother is alone , there is no need to murder for money.”

Su Jizhi nodded, "I think so too."

Zhao Yi was very happy, "Really? Master Su made a one-day visit, do you also think that my brother can't kill someone?"

Su Jizhi didn't affirm or deny it, but said something like this, "There is no conclusion yet, but I found out that people live in this world, and other people's evaluations are indeed mixed."

Zhao Yi was thinking about Master Su's meaning, when the servant on duty rushed in, bowed, and said in a panic, "Brother Zhao, Master Wang is not in the government office, Zhang Xiuhua is here again."

Zhao Yi turned cold, Su Jizhi raised his eyebrows, Wan Yan looked at Zhao Yi.

The flickering candlelight in the interrogation room shone on Zhao Yi's face, flickering on and off, making Zhao Yi feel a little uneasy.

"Lord Su, this person has a long story to tell. To put it simply, she is the concubine of the deceased Zhang Kairong. She came to the government office every three days to ask about the situation, and she wanted to punish my brother."

Zhao Yi lowered his head, and the servant next to him continued to explain, "Lord Su, this woman is not just here to ask questions. Her daughter disappeared on the day Zhang Kairong was killed, so she is a frequent visitor to the government office. Today she heard that Master Su is here. I came here so late to ask about the case."

"Oh?" Su Ji's ending sounded lightly, and even Wan Yan sat up straight immediately. How could things be so coincidental in the world?
"Bring it in, I want to see you."

Su Jizhi clenched the word "official", and this meeting became an official interrogation.

Zhang Xiuhua was brought in.

Wan Yan stared at her up and down.

This is a graceful woman in her 30s.

Tall and plump, with big eyes and a high bridge of nose, she is wearing a light green floral skirt with pale pink plum blossoms embroidered on the hem of the skirt, which is bright in the dim candlelight.

At first glance, Zhang Xiuhua has a style that does not belong to a woman of her age, and the clothes are expensive.

Zhang Xiuhua walked in, looked around, and looked directly at Su Jizhi, with a loud voice, high-pitched, almost shouting: "Mr. Zhao Da must be punished."

Zhao Yi glared, "Zhang Xiuhua, don't talk nonsense, my brother didn't kill Zhang Kairong, Master Su will find out everything, if you disturb the court again, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhang Xiuhua snorted coldly: "You're welcome, let Mr. Su see, the government is bullying people like this. Zhang Kairong has been dead for more than four months, and the case has not been concluded. Mr. Su, the officials of the Lingjiang government protect each other and treat the people like nothing."

Zhao Yi said "you you you" several times, but he didn't say a word.

Su Jizhi waved his hand at Zhao Yi, "Hurry up Zhao, it's still the old rules..."

Zhao Yi groaned and glared at Zhang Xiuhua, angrily walked out of the interrogation room and closed the door.

Su Jizhi said sharply: "Okay, I'm here now, who are you? What's your relationship with Zhang Kairong? Come from the truth."

Zhang Xiuhua straightened her hair, and took a step forward, "Lord Su, the woman's name is Zhang Xiuhua. She has been taken care of by Zhang Kairong all these years. He has no relatives in Lingjiang Mansion. Now that he died tragically, I want to avenge his grievances."

"Where's your husband?" Su Jizhi also asked Wan Yan's question.

"We reconciled ten years ago."

"Zhang Kairong has no relatives in Lingjiang Mansion, and no relatives in other places?"

Wan Yan has been staring at Zhang Xiuhua behind Su Jizhi.

Zhang Xiuhua's words sounded right at first glance, but after thinking about it, it was unreasonable, and the adults raised a second question.

Zhang Xiuhua hesitated for a moment visibly, "No, yes, no, no, Lord Su."

Zhang Xiuhua blinked frequently, "Zhang Kairong has never been married, but he should have parents, but I never asked where his parents are."

Su Jizhi stared at Zhang Xiuhua coldly for a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "What's your relationship with Zhang Kairong?"

"I... no, oh..." Zhang Xiuhua stammered, vaguely: "We..."

Wan Yan was at a loss.

Zhang Xiuhua has divorced, and Zhang Kairong has never married. Even if they have a relationship, they have not violated the law. Although there are rumors at this stage, it does not affect anyone. There is no need for Zhang Xiuhua to be so flustered.

Sure enough, people's hearts are unpredictable and people can't understand.

"Now let me tell you what you think. I have read the files of Zhang Kairong's murder. There are your statements before and after the incident, but I want to hear what you said to me personally."

Wan Yan looked sideways at the lord, regretting that she hadn't asked the case carefully earlier, even if she looked through the file, she wouldn't be as confused as she is now.

Apparently Zhang Xiuhua didn't expect that either. She cleared her throat and said slowly, "Four months ago, Zhang Kairong and Boss Ruan agreed to go to Bao'an Mansion to buy a batch of goods. They agreed to leave in four days, but for some reason they suddenly wanted to move forward. Zhang Kairong rushed to the pier with the silver at the agreed time, and by the time I got the news, he had already been killed."

When Zhang Xiuhua said this, she wept.

She lowered her head and didn't see Su Jizhi and Wan Yan looking at each other inexplicably.

"You know everything about Zhang Kairong's itinerary?"

Zhang Xiuhua wiped her tears and nodded.

"You live together?"

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned for a moment, and finally admitted.

"How long have you known Zhang Kairong?"

"Ten years."

"Since you live together, why didn't Zhang Kairong give you a title?"

Zhang Xiuhua couldn't answer, "I... don't want a name."

Not only Wan Yan couldn't understand, Su Jizhi couldn't understand either.
