C67 (1/2)

Su Li walked closer to Mrs. Zhu, only to see her smiling in despair.

”Since I'm going to die anyway, I'll bear the responsibility of killing, and I'll bear the responsibility of skinning as well. Just let my husband go, okay?”

”You didn't do anything wrong, why do you want to die? It's the people who did the wrong thing. Calm down, it's not like there's no room for manoeuvre. ”

”But …” Just now, she had heard that her husband was going to be punished severely after he was sent to the government office.

”As for the matter between you and Shopkeeper Hu, I will do my best to deal with it. As for your husband, if we find out that he did not have time for the crime, the Magistrate Wang will naturally release him. You have to take the blame now, when you go in and he comes out, how are you going to make him live?”

Mrs. Zhu was moved, ”I am not related to Fourth Miss, why would Fourth Miss help me?”

”I'm not helping you, I'm helping justice.”

Song Lai, who was near at the heels, just happened to hear the two words ”justice”.

”Fourth Miss, Magistrate Wang asked if you want to take him.”

Hearing that, Su Li patted Mrs. Zhu on the shoulder, and turned to walk towards Wang Quanan.

Wang Quanan made Song Lai ask her if she wanted to take him away. It looks like he wanted to take a step back and give her face.

Su Li nodded at him, ”Mrs. Zhu is not involved, there is no need to take it.”

”Alright, then I'll take my men back to the magistrate court.”

Wang Quanan waved to indicate for the official to leave, and when he walked past Su Li, he spoke in a low voice: ”This matter can't happen again.”

”Thank you very much.”

Because Wang Quanan was looking into the peeling case, she did not follow him back to the mansion but instead went to the Smoky Willow Lane with Song Lai to look at the scratches on his arm when they were still at a loss.

The two of them went to the Beauty Pavilion first. The old procuress saw that Su Li was here to handle a case and did not dare offend him.

In the end, he confirmed the truth from Nan Chuan. It was true that when he was having fun with a girl, he liked to let people pinch or capture him.

According to a girl, she had scratched Nan Chuan's arm in the last five days.

This point, could be matched with the scratches on Nan Chuan's arms that had a scar on them not long ago.

Then, the two of them went to the Ten Thousand Flowers House and finally to the Yilan Courtyard.

After interrogation, all the scratches were matched except for the few fresh scratches.

But Hexin had been bought by Nan Chuan the night before yesterday, there was a high possibility that those marks that did not match were left behind by Hexin. It was just that, Hexin had gone missing, if he wanted to confirm everything, he would probably not be able to do so!

After leaving the Yilan Courtyard, Su Li suddenly stopped when he reached the door, and turned to look in a certain direction.

She squinted, and finally remembered that she saw Tang Rufeng's mother leave here last night.

No wonder she felt that the old woman's back was very familiar. So this was where they intersected!

”Fourth Miss, what's wrong?” Song Lai looked over in confusion, and could only see the people coming and going.

Su Li retracted his gaze, and looked at Song Lai, ”I want to ask you a question.”

”Yes.”

”Under what circumstances would a mother bring her son to prostitute herself?”

”…” Song Lai's face turned slightly red, he stuttered a few words, ”Is it because mother is worried that her son will not do and will not have an heir?”

Su Li agreed and nodded, and did not pursue the question.

The two of them returned back to the mansion. Wang Quanan had already finished interrogating Butcher Zhu, other than the two military blades who still could not find the results, the Butcher Zhu had people supporting him at the time of the peeling case.

However, his hometown was in a remote village. It would take him two days to get his proof of identity.

The morning of the second day, Su Li proposed to go to Nan Chuan's residence.

According to the information, Nan Chuan came to the capital a year ago. He did not bring any relatives with him.
