The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 490

[Chapter 490 Watchman]

The people from the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen and the Criminal Department have been investigating for a long time. They have investigated almost all the people who have conflicts with Chen Tong, but in the end they have not found out the reason.

It is precisely because of this that this case has reached a deadlock. Even a person like Xia Yixue has been running around for a long time without getting any effective clues.

“Hey, have you thought about it?”

Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu’s contemplative face, finally got a little impatient with the waiting, and asked.

Fang Xiu was interrupted by her, raised his eyes, glanced at him, and said: “I want to investigate this case, but there is no way.

People from the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen and the Criminal Department will not allow it.”

Zhao Yan curled her lips when she heard this. , said: “These are all excuses. What do you want to do, and the people from the Kyoto Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice can still stop you?”

There is another sentence left unsaid…

A few days ago, you were still living in the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen, too. I’ve never seen anyone do anything to you!

After hearing this, Fang Xiu felt a little helpless. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, “Since you said so, I will give it a try.”

“Okay, it’s a deal!”

Zhao Yan agreed when Fang Xiu agreed. I had a smile on my face and looked happier than when I was watching the show before.

When Fang Xiu found Xia Yixue because of this matter, Xia Yixue was interrogating a watchman.

Fang Xiu stood aside and looked at them quietly.

“Where were you when Mrs. Chen was killed?”

Xia Yixue sat on a chair and looked down at the watchman who was kneeling on the ground.

The watchman was old and was used to the ups and downs. Even though he was facing Xia Yixue, who was known as the best catcher in Kyoto, he still didn’t panic too much.

What’s more, people who can watch late at night have a much stronger psychological quality than others.

“Reporting to your lord, at that time, the younger one was resting at home.” The watchman

was old, and there was only one son in the family. Because he had a conflict with himself, he left the capital early and went to Jiangnan to work hard. Three years later, You may not be able to go home once.

He said that he was resting at home, and no one could prove it for him. Of course, no one could prove that he was not at home at the time.

Xia Yixue looked at the watchman and saw that his expression did not change much when he answered. She nodded, asked a few more irrelevant questions, and said, “Okay, you can leave.”

“Thank you, sir.”

The watchman Hearing this, a smile appeared on his face, he slowly got up from the ground, turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind: “Stop!” When

the watchman heard the voice, he froze in place. After a moment, he slowly turned around and looked at the handsome young master in front of him. The look of confusion quickly disappeared, and he asked respectfully: “I wonder what this gentleman wants to tell you?” Fang

Xiu walked up to him, looked directly into the watchman’s eyes, and showed a smile on his face. With a faint smile, he said: “It’s nothing important. I’m just seeing a watchman like you for the first time. I’m a little curious. I have a few questions I’d like to ask.” When

the watchman heard this, his face showed the same expression. Smiling, he said slowly: “The little old man has been a watchman for more than ten years. He has always been out at night and day, so it is normal for adults not to see him.

I wonder if you have any questions for the little old man?”

Fang Xiu casually pulled a chair over and sat down. He looked at the watchman in front of him and said with a smile, “I said it’s nothing important. I’m just chatting. You sit down first.”

“This”

the watchman’s face changed when he heard this. There was a look of confusion on his face, looking a little at a loss, and he subconsciously looked at Xia Yixue next to him.

Seeing that Xia Yixue’s expression did not change, she looked at Fang Xiu again and said, “Your Excellency has a noble body. The little old man is not like an adult. He just needs to stand.”

Fang Xiu heard this. He said so and did not continue to let him sit down.

He lay back, looked at the watchman, and asked, “I wonder how long the old man has been a watchman?”

When the watchman heard this question, he frowned subconsciously. Of course, just for a moment, he He smiled again and said, “The little old man just said that it will be at least ten years.”

“How many years is ten years?”

Fang Xiu asked.

The watchman had a thoughtful look on his face and said, “Seventeen or eighteen years, it’s so long that I can’t even remember it.”

Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, nodded, and said: “It’s not easy to stay up all day and night, isn’t it?”

The watchman said with a smile: “For people like the old man, it is already extremely difficult to have a job to earn a living. Isn’t it easy? , In fact, they are all the same.

The little old man is not like an adult. It is great to be alive and don’t expect anything else.”

Fang Xiu nodded and asked, “Is there anyone else in the house?”

The watchman heard this. Asked the question, he frowned slightly, and then with a bitter expression on his face, he replied: “To be honest with you, I had a wife who left a few years ago.

There is also a son at home who went to Jiangnan twenty years ago to say I have to work hard, and I have only come back twice in the past few years. I haven’t seen each other for six or seven years, and I don’t know how I am living outside.

During the New Year and holidays, the little old man sees that other houses are very lively. Damn it, the little old man feels bad about it, but what can he do?

The family is poor and the child does not want to stay at home. The little old man can understand. I just hope that he can come back to see him every once in a while, so that the little old man’s life will not be in vain.”

At this point, he seemed to be feeling emotional. Wan Qian could hardly help but burst into tears.

When Fang Xiu saw this, he didn’t say anything, just showed a sigh and said: “Every family has a hard time to recite, and you have a child who is wandering away. Willing to go home.

As for our family, the elders are out there and are unwilling to go home. They are looking for all kinds of excuses to recuperate and lead soldiers. For a child like me to stay here in the capital, there is no guarantee that I will be beaten by those people anytime. A wolf hiding in the dark was swallowed up.”

Xia Yixue next to her heard this and frowned, wanting to say something, but thinking of Fang Xiu’s wink at her before, she finally held back and did not interrupt. He.

“Hey.”

At this time, Fang Xiu sighed again, looked at the watchman, and asked a few irrelevant questions,

such as what he would do if the child came home,

and if he had thought about it .

To continue the relationship, to say it is to continue the relationship, is actually to find a wife to live together in the future. The two of them asked and answered

various questions, just like two old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, standing on the same spot,

chatting

and chatting with each other.

My

husband was obviously more relaxed.

Although he was not so nervous when facing Xia Yixue and Fang Xiu before, it could still be seen that

at this time, the uncomfortable feeling before had disappeared.

Xiu looked at the watchman and spoke in a very natural tone, asking the question he wanted to ask the most: “Since your life was quite comfortable, why did you kill Mrs. Chen? ”
