The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 449 Help
At this point in the case, the testimonies of witnesses all pointed out that Fan Jin might have committed murder, and the only witness who could testify on Fan Jin's side was a servant in the family. With one sentence saying that the servant must have spoken in favor of his master and dared not betray his master, he was able to block his way.

If it were an ordinary official, he would probably have convicted Fan Jin on the spot.

But Fan Jin still has the title of scholar, and once he is convicted, all his titles will be revoked.

Prefect Cheng has always loved talented people. It is not easy to become a scholar after ten years of hard study.

Besides, Fan Jin had always insisted that he had not killed anyone, and Prefect Cheng did not like to force confessions under torture when investigating cases, nor did he want to easily conclude a case.

After much deliberation, he decided to postpone the sentencing and put Fan Jin in prison first.

Bafang felt like the sky was falling, but it was too late and curfew was about to start, so he couldn't run around and had to go back to Guihua Lane.

After a tormented night in which he could not fall asleep, Bafang ran out of the house at dawn the next day. He first went to the government school to ask Master Fan Chen for leave for his son. He also asked Fan Chen for help and to think of a solution. His son had not killed anyone, but he should not be locked up in jail!

The prison was cold and damp, how could his son endure it?

As Bafang spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears and the more he cried, the more regretful he felt. If he had known, he would not have mentioned Hong Wazi last night. If he hadn't said it, his son wouldn't have been convicted of suspicion.

Fan Xun pieced together what happened from the crying of people everywhere and was shocked. He didn't believe that his cousin would kill someone. Did he offend someone?

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
And there was Hong Wazi. He believed that since Bafang said it, it must be true. But why did Hong Wazi say that he only saw Bafang when he arrived at the court?
How can I clear my cousin of suspicion?

Fan Xun was also a little confused. He could only read, but not solve cases!

My cousin has only been at the school for a few days, who could he offend?
Fan Yu pondered for a moment, and then told Ba Fang to go back and wait for news, and not to panic. "This case has not been closed yet, your son is just a suspect, go back and get some money to the prison, and bring some hot food to your son."

Bafang, like a headless fly, finally found a way out and nodded hurriedly, "Yes! I'll go right away!"

Use some money to bribe the young master so that he can suffer less in jail!

Everyone in the eight directions rushed over, and Fan Xun also hurriedly turned around and went back to the government school.

He planned to ask his classmates to help him find out about this matter.

He had been in the provincial school for three years and had made many acquaintances, including children of officials. He had a good relationship with Yan Tong, whose father had experience in the government office.

Yan Tong was also a sincere person. When he heard that his best friend's cousin was involved in a murder case, he was also concerned. Although he had only known Fan Jin for a few days, he was open-minded and straightforward, and very easy to get along with. He also didn't believe that he would kill anyone.

I immediately promised my friend that I would help find out.

He did not live in the provincial school, so he went back home at noon, and when he returned to the school, he found out everything about the case.

Looking at his friend, he also shook his head slightly, "Brother Yanwen, this is not good. Did Brother Hongzai offend someone?"

Seeing his friend's expression, Fan Xun's heart skipped a beat. He also wondered if his cousin had offended someone. "But my cousin has only been in the school for a few days. He has been in the school all day and has never been anywhere else. How could he have offended anyone? Brother Zicheng, why do you say that?"

Yan Tong said, "Do you know who the deceased is? It's a girl from the Wang family in Xinglinfang. Although she is just a concubine of the third branch of the Wang family, the Wang family in Xinglinfang has always been protective of their own shortcomings. How can they let it go when a good girl from the Wang family has lost her life? I heard from my father that the head of the Wang family came to the government office in person this morning to find Master Cheng and ask him to close the case quickly!"

The Wang family of Xinglinfang!
Fan Xun also took a breath of cold air. He had been in the provincial capital for three years, so naturally he had heard of the Wang family.

There are two kings in the provincial capital. The Wang family of Xingtaifang now mostly lives in the state capital. With the support of the governor, they should not be underestimated.

The Xinglinfang Wang family is a branch of the Hezhou Wang family. It is a family of doctors. It was very famous in the previous dynasty and has a deep foundation. The current imperial hospital judge is the younger brother of the head of the main branch of the Wang family. Moreover, the eldest daughter of the head of the main branch of the Wang family is the concubine of the current King Hui. The only son of King Hui is her daughter, and King Hui is the younger brother of the current emperor.

I heard that the Wang family of Xinglinfang is very close to the main branch, and this generation has produced a genius in acupuncture, and the main branch also attaches great importance to him.

If this matter really gets out of hand, the main branch of the Wang family will definitely be involved.

Just thinking about it, Fan Xun felt his palms sweating. Their Fan family was just a well-known small clan in Luoshui City. How could they compare with the Wang family?

If it is true that the Wang family is targeting his cousin, how should he rescue his cousin?

Yan Tong also looked helpless, "Brother Yan Wen, I'm really sorry, I can't help you with this matter."

When he returned home, his father gave him a lecture that this was not something their family should get involved in.

So he was sorry that he couldn't help his friend.

Fan Xu shook his head and said that it was enough that his good friend could help him find out these questions, and he was very grateful.

Besides, even if Yan Jingli is willing to help, he can’t do much. Can he go against the Wang family?

The most important thing for this case now is to find out the truth and clear his cousin's name. That way, even if the Wang family wants to put the blame on his cousin, they won't be able to do so. He heard that Lord Cheng has always been upright and will definitely handle the case impartially.

However, the testimonies of all the witnesses in this case are not favorable to my cousin. How can we find out the truth?

Fan Xun had a headache again. He was not good at this.

Got it!

Fan Xun had an idea in his mind, and immediately found another good friend, Zhou Bingwen.

Brother Derun has always been meticulous and perceptive. Last time, a classmate in the provincial school had a lost jade pendant case, and it was Brother Derun who helped solve it.

Mr. Lian even praised that if Brother Derun became an official in the future, he would be a good candidate for the Dali Temple.

When Zhou Bingwen heard that Fan Jin was involved in a murder case and the deceased was a girl from the Wang family, he frowned.

He didn't believe that Fan Jin had killed someone.

Firstly, he and Fan Jin had known each other in Luoshui City before, and after spending a few days together in the government school, he felt that this man was not the kind of person who would commit a crime.

The second reason is that Fan Jin is Miss Li's fiancé. Since Miss Li chose him as her fiancé, it means that she was impressed by his character.

Rather than saying that he believed Fan Jin without any reason, it would be better to say that he believed Miss Li. Miss Li would never look down on a criminal.

Yes, although the marriage proposal did not go through, Zhou Bingwen admired and appreciated Miss Li very much.

I admire her for being smart, capable, and capable at a young age, and for doing big business. I admire her for being as brave as any man and for leading the whole village to bravely resist the bandits and protect their homeland.
"I'll try my best." He agreed to help without hesitation.

Fan Xun was overjoyed when he heard this. Apart from Zhou Bingwen, he really couldn't think of anyone else to ask for help. As long as Zhou Bingwen was willing to help, that would be fine. Even if he couldn't find out anything in the end, he would be grateful to him!
At that moment, Zhou Bingwen proposed to go and meet Bafang and take the actual walk again to see if he could find any clues.
