Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 245 The Truth
Jing Yan knelt beside the masked man's corpse, stabbing it heavily with the sharp knife in his hand, and let out low growls, his eyes were red.

The blood spattered on his face, Jing Yan didn't care about it at all, and still followed his instinct to stab the masked man's body with a knife.

Every knife is the vent of hatred in his heart.

On the side, Wen An closed his eyes, not daring to watch this rather cruel scene.

Ying Bu had no expression on his face. For him, blood was nothing to be afraid of.

Fu Su didn't take it seriously either. In this world, there is neither love without reason nor hatred without reason. The reason why Jing Yan did this is not difficult to guess what kind of blood feud is contained in it.

From this, Fusu also concluded in his heart that Jing Yan was pretending to be crazy for more than ten years, this kind of forbearance already frightened Fusu, and even made him look sideways.

After a long time, seeing Jing Yan slumped on the ground with blank eyes, Fu Su stepped forward, pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and handed it to Jing Yan.

"Wen An, take him down, I have something to ask him later."

"No." Wen An immediately led the people to take Jing Yan down to freshen up.

"Gao Chong, put all the living people in the cell, and you will personally send someone to guard them, and don't allow them to contact anyone."

"promise."

"Also, don't reveal a word about anything that happened here today, offenders."

Everyone trembled in their hearts, and hurriedly said: "No."

Wen An's heart trembled even more, he knew that the soldiers around Fu Su were people whom Fu Su trusted very much, if there was any problem, then he, Wen An, would be the first one to be suspected.

After the crowd dispersed, Fusu looked at the dilapidated courtyard with a little coldness in his eyes.

Perhaps, the monsters that appeared in Dangyang County not only contained crocodiles, but also man-made elements.

As for the Jingyan family, the reason for this must be that they have touched the interests of some people behind them, or they have learned something that they should not know, and they have come to this point.

The corners of Fusu's mouth curled up slightly, this scene is getting more and more interesting!

In the county yamen, Fusu looked at Jing Yan, who was clean and groomed in front of him, and couldn't help being taken aback. The current Jing Yan really couldn't be connected with the sloppy man before.

Seeing Fusu, Jing Yan's eyes instantly turned red, and he knelt down towards Fusu, saying: "Jing Yan thanked His Highness for your great kindness and virtue, as long as you never give up, I wish to obey your order in this life."

Fu Su hurriedly helped Jing Yan up, and said, "You don't have to, please get up and talk."

Fusu took out a bamboo slip and said, "Jing Yan, did you slip this bamboo slip onto Gu's body secretly?"

Jing Yan nodded, Fu Su didn't speak, he was waiting for Jing Yan to give him an explanation.

Jing Yan looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Fusu, Fusu suddenly said, "Gao Chong, no one is allowed within fifty steps."

Immediately, only Fu Su and Jing Yan were left in the room.

Fusu said: "I heard from the county magistrate that you once survived the mouth of a water monster..."

Seeing Fusu mentioning this, Jing Yan also had a look of lingering fear on his face. Although this matter has passed for a long time, it is still fresh in his memory.

After a long time, Jing Yan took a deep breath and said, "That's true."

"My lord, this so-called water monster is actually man-made, and it didn't come from heaven. Please investigate it carefully, lord."

Hearing Jing Yan utter the word "man-made", Fu Su didn't feel any disturbance in his heart. Jing Yan's words only verified the conjecture in his heart!

Seeing that Fusu's face didn't change much, Jing Yan showed surprise on his face, and said, "Could it be that the young master guessed that the water monster was not caused by God's will, but man-made?"

Fu Su shook his head and said, "I am sure that someone wants to kill you today."

Jing Yan was stunned, and then said: "The so-called water monster is actually a fierce beast in the water. When Nanjun was still the king of Chu's hunting place, this kind of beast often appeared and was often hunted down."

"At that time, there were no current people in Nanjun. My ancestors had done things under Zuo's hands, and they knew something about these things."

Fusu suddenly realized that, indeed, the Jing clan was one of the three major clans in the Chu state, and there were many members of the Jing clan in the court, so compared with ordinary people, they could get a lot of news that ordinary people could not get.

"Back then, after the fall of Chu State, Qin State established Nanjun here. My family did not move back to Chu State, but still took root in Nanjun."

"At that time, the patriarch of the Jing family saw that the water monster was hurting people, and there were many gossips among the people, so he decided to add fuel to the flames secretly. He also knew that the water monster came here in April and May every year, and left in August and September. In the name of sacrifice, I want to take advantage of this to exploit the people."

"The ancestor refused. I never thought that the head of the Jing clan was also a ruthless person. In order to prevent my grandfather from leaking the secret, he actually killed him, and then killed my father and my mother."

"I was still young at that time, and I knew that their deaths were wronged, but there was nowhere to redress their grievances."

"Later, one night I went to inspect my field, and saw someone sneaking into the field and placing some flesh and blood by the river, and then I saw the water monster surfaced and devoured the flesh. It was that time that I knew why the water monster appeared and disappeared from time to time."

"Knowing such a secret, I know that if Mrs. Jing finds out, he will definitely be killed. Therefore, I can only pretend to be crazy all day long, so I can get away with it, wait for the opportunity, and state all this. I didn't expect that it would take 18 years to wait. "

"Fortunately, God paid off Jing Yan's painstaking efforts, and finally let Jing Yan wait for the son to come, and have the opportunity to state all this to the son face to face."

"I also ask the young master Quan Quanyan to take revenge and uphold justice for the deceived elders in Nanjun."

At the end, Jing Yan knelt down towards Fu Su, Fu Su hurriedly helped Jing Yan up, and said: "Jing Yan, this matter is a job of the solitary, and the solitary will investigate clearly."

At this time, Fusu finally sorted out the context of this, the so-called water monster was deliberately used by someone.

Before that, Fusu just regarded it as a crocodile harming people, and never thought about it in terms of man-made, but he didn't expect that there was such a story in it.

At this moment, a soldier came in and said, "My lord, the Jing clan of Dangyang County came to identify the corpse."

"Recognize the corpse?" Fusu raised his head in surprise.

"Yes, my lord." The soldier confirmed again: "My lord, the county government has found out that the three dead people who were killed this morning were all servants of the Jing family. That's why the Jing family came to claim their bodies."

"The three of them are all servants of the Jing clan!" Fusu sneered in his eyes, this is too coincidental!
Fusu felt even more determined about what Jing Yan said.

"Tell them that the government has not yet investigated this matter, and the corpse is temporarily placed in the government office, and they are not allowed to move rashly.
