As the messy footsteps completely dissipated, the Zhang Mansion's backyard became truly peaceful.

Mr. Zhang withdrew his gaze from the gate and looked around the all too familiar courtyard in front of him.

Everywhere in the corner, a body that had no shape or even a personal appearance made him feel heartbroken.

A good family, two houses and six lives were lost in one go.

Some even ended up dead without any parts of their bodies, which is unbearable to watch.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang vomited blood again, and then his vision went dark and he fainted completely.

"Father! Father!"

Zhang Yaozu was frightened and shook his father in his arms. He raised his head and wanted to find someone to call the doctor.

But most of the servants hid aside and did not dare to come forward, as if they were afraid that he would also be controlled by evil magic and harm Chi Yu.

Just when Zhang Yaozu was at a loss, a small white palm was spread out in front of him, with a brown pill lying in it.

"Let him eat it."

Looking up at the young girl, Zhang Yaozu had already determined that Fan Ye was the famous Master Chen Yi, and naturally he had great trust in the little master he respected.

Without hesitation, he picked up the elixir in Su Qingtian's hand and fed it into Mr. Zhang's mouth. Within ten breaths, the old man opened his eyes slightly, and his originally gloomy complexion gradually improved.

Tears instantly filled his eyes, and Mr. Zhang burst into tears.

"Why did Yaoguang marry such a vicious-hearted woman?"

"Yao Zong, Yao Zong..."

"It's dad who's sorry for your family. It's dad's fault! Dad is sorry for you..."

The old man was crying outside into the deep night. Not far away were the bodies of his eldest son and his wife. Unfortunately, the eldest son's whole body was not even found.

The servants also looked down and wiped their tears. Mr. Zhang was very polite and restrained as the master of his family. He never scolded the servants randomly and rarely beat or scolded him.

On the contrary, he taught his juniors strictly and made others feel sad when they saw him swaying the young master.

As the eldest son, Zhang Yaozong followed the precepts of his father and ancestors and never acted recklessly.

It can also be seen from the fact that the eldest young mistress brought back the orphan girl Qingli. She is kind and gentle, and all the servants in the big house respect the eldest young master and his family.

No one thought that such a good family would be harmed by their own sister-in-law in silence.

In order to save one life, three people were killed, and they didn't want to repent and wanted to continue to harm the second young master's family.

But when they thought of the powerful magistrate You, the servants sighed.

It is really rare to escape this disaster with the help of Master Chen Yi. If I want to seek real justice, I am afraid that I will not be able to do so.

"Dad, dad, please don't be too sad."

Tears also covered Zhang Yaozu's face. He was thinking about the old man's body and sobbed to console him.

"Brother and his family must have never blamed you, otherwise they wouldn't have risked their lives to save us."

In fact, Zhang Yaozu saw that although his eldest brother and sister-in-law were expressionless, they always protected his old father and his family.

Moreover, Xiaoyu also blocked a fatal knife attack for his own Xiaofan, which shows that his eldest brother and his family are thinking of them.

Scenes full of accidents and blood flashed before Mr. Zhang's eyes, but more importantly, they were the vivid faces of his children and grandchildren.

He slowly closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.

Being sad is of no use, there are more troubles to be solved later.

"Everyone, please don't be too sad. It is not an accident that Zhang Yaoguang took Yu Ruzhi's sister."

The soft milky voice soothed the hearts of the Zhang family, and Su Qingtian said, "You Ruzhi has been targeting the Zhang family from the beginning, and you will not be able to escape this disaster no matter what."

These words attracted the attention of Mr. Zhang and his son.

"Master, why do you say this?"

In Mr. Zhang's heart, Su Qingtian is a master whom he respects even more than Fan Ye, so he can naturally bear the title of master.

"You Ruzhi has long been colluding with the magicians behind the scenes. They calculated that the Zhang family's fortune was astronomical, so they tried their best to marry their sister in."

"Even if Zhang Yaoguang was not manipulated by him at the beginning, he would find other reasons to force him to marry Zhang Youshi."

"Even if this plan fails, he will rack his brains to come up with other ways to get involved with the Zhang family."

"The source of this matter really lies with him!"

Zhang Yaozu gritted his teeth and cursed, but he knew that there was nothing he could do against the other party.

"Actually, even if it wasn't You Ruzhi, there would be others."

Zhang Yaozu was confused after hearing these words. Mr. Zhang looked at Su Qingtian, his eyes falling on the sleeping grandson, and then listened to her calm words.

"As long as someone covets your family's fortune, something similar will happen sooner or later."

Mr. Zhang suddenly became enlightened and looked at his little grandson who couldn't help but become frightened.

Although Zhang Yaozu didn't quite understand it, he also knew that this was destiny's fate.

One of the two looked decadent and haggard, the other looked frightened for a while.

"Two masters!"

Qingli, who had been kneeling all the time, suddenly spoke, looking at Fan Ye and said, "It is said that retribution is not good when justice is revealed. From the slave's point of view, the third young master and his family deserve their punishment, but where can I get justice for my master's family's revenge?!

"

"You Ruzhi paid for the murder, so can we just let him use his power to suppress others and get rid of it hastily?!"

"This slave is determined to save his master and the second young master's family. He has thought about it since the beginning. Even if he dies, he must fight for a clean outcome for his master and his family!"

"This slave is not afraid of death. I just ask the two masters to let me go. Once I kill You Ruzhi to avenge my master, I will immediately go to Annan County to surrender!"

"Did the Yaozong family really pay for the murders under the prefect's help?!"

After hearing Qing Li's words, Mr. Zhang's eyes turned red with anger.

"This slave has seen it with her own eyes, and she is absolutely telling the truth!"

Qingli kowtowed to Mr. Zhang and replied seriously, "It was my wife who hid me under the Buddhist niche that day, otherwise Qingli would not have come back alive."

"Madam saved Qingli twice. Qingli only asked to exchange this life for the life of Yu Ruzhi!"

Mr. Zhang was speechless. He didn't know how to decide.

All of this happened too suddenly, not to mention that it was involved in two murder cases. It was not a simple issue that could be decided hastily.

"You Ruzhi can't survive, so why dirty his hands."

The little girl stretched, and the night wind blew the hem of her silver skirt. Qingli watched the little boy-like girl in front of him walk towards him.

"Go back to Annan County with us and wait for the good news of his sudden death."

Qingli looked surprised, but she didn't doubt this little girl's words at all.

Thinking that he could see Yu Ruzhi paying for his life before he was beheaded, the knot in his heart was finally untied.

"Master, are you serious?!"

Mr. Zhang was eager to kill the murderer and asked anxiously, "You Ruzhi really only has ten days to live?"

"His official career is not bad at all. As long as he reaches the age of thirty-two, he will be able to rise to prominence. It's just that his official career was bumpy before that, which gave the magician an opportunity."

"The magician originally wanted the Zhang family's monstrous fortune, but doing it himself would damage his own cultivation, so he took advantage of You Ruzhi's greed."

"Now that Zhang Ronger, the luck-sucking medium, is gone, the forbidden magic will immediately come back to You Ruzhi. If the magician wants to hide himself from being exposed, he won't even be able to survive for three days."
