C69 (1/2)

Nan Chuan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and after a long while, he couldn't come up with an explanation.

Su Li's gaze turned sharp, like a sword, he thrusted straight at Nan Chuan.

”Within ten days, you have been to the Hu Family, right?”

Nan Chuan was intimidated by her aura, and her lips started to tremble.

”You lied to me yesterday. This alone is enough for me to torture you.” Su Li looked at the official waiting at the side, and unblinkingly pointed to the finger splint, ”Let's torture him, and see if he can still continue to be stubborn.”

”Yes.”

The official obeyed and walked a few steps to the splint, as if he wanted to take it.

Nan Chuan was so scared that he pissed his pants, he kowtowed on the ground and kowtowed a few times, ”I'll say, I'll say...”

Su Li raised his hands to signal the official to step down, both hands on the table, slowly knocking.

Nan Chuan didn't even dare to pant, and directly admitted defeat under the oppression of Su Li's aura.

”I went to the Hu Family before, and on the day that Guangzhuo died, I was afraid that I would attract some trouble, so I didn't mention it.

Su Li frowned, and stopped tapping the table, ”In other words, you appeared in the Hu Family's backyard? Just as I was about to leave, Hu Guangzhuo caught up? ”

Nan Chuan's body shivered non-stop, his face paled and he immediately fell to the ground.

”Yes, but, it's not me. I didn't kill him, I didn't even touch him. His death really has nothing to do with me!”

Nan Chuan's voice was also trembling. In the midst of the chaos and shock, she did not focus.

”How did you get in and out of the backyard?”

”Behind the laurel tree, there is a dog hole. Even the people from Hu Family do not know about it.”

Su Li pondered for a moment. According to Nan Chuan's words, the leaves under his cloth boots could match.

”Tell me what happened between you and Hu Guangzhuo that day, don't let go of a single detail.”

Hearing that, Nan Chuan's eyes flashed as he lowered his head, ”That day, I just went through the dog hole to enter the Hu Family, I did not do anything, and when I left, for some reason, Guangzhuo caught up to me, I spoke a few words with him, and then left through the dog hole. We did not fight, and the scratches on my arm, were all done by the young ladies, didn't Fourth Miss confirm it already?”

No matter if it was today or yesterday, as long as he mentioned the scratches, Nan Chuan would be incomparably confident.

It was as if he knew before he was brought to the yamen, that there were scratches on the bodies of those who caused Hu Guangzhuo's death …

”Speaking of scratches, there's no one to testify for you with those fresh ones on your arms.” Su Li intentionally said this in a deceptive tone. He did not know about Hexin's disappearance, so he naturally did not dare to lie.

Nan Chuan raised his head and met Su Li's gaze, his face revealing doubt, ”But the few fresh scratches on my body basically do not match the time of the accident with Guangzhuo. Why does Fourth Miss care about these scratches?”

”If I tell you to say it, then say it …”

Nan Chuan did not dare look at Su Li, lowering his head, creaking and groaning as he refused to answer.

Su Li suddenly thought of the handkerchief and the farce that Mrs. Hu had made against Cui Er.

”It's the Mrs. Hu?”

Nan Chuan looked up in fear, and subconsciously responded with a question, ”You... How do you know? ”

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had leaked the information.

Su Li remained silent as he quietly sat behind the table, waiting for him to speak.

”That day, after Fourth Miss went to inspect the Hu Family, her cousin came to ask me about it. Seeing that there were scratches on my arm, she scratched at me like she was crazy.”

Su Li suddenly smiled, it was a smile that could captivate the soul.

”You also said just now that you didn't do anything when you went to the Hu Family, but now you admit it yourself. That day when you went to the Hu Family, you went to look for the Mrs. Hu, right?”

”I didn't.” Nan Chuan was still stubborn.

”Then why would she ask you about it after my examination?”
