Chapter 38(1/2)
The wintersweet looked horrified, and looking at Tang Fan's expression was like seeing a ghost.
Not only her, but others were shocked and surprised when they heard this.
Wang Zhi was so smart that when he saw the expression of wintersweet, he knew that Tang Fan was right.
He looked at the belly of winter peach incredibly and asked Tang Fan again: "It's true or false? How did you know?"
Tang Fan didn't have time to answer Wang Zhi's question, but still stared at the change of his expression: "You have been with Xiao Zhou for many years. If it weren't for the reason, it would be impossible for you to betray her. Is it to protect the person behind you? Who is he? Is your child's father?"
Hanmei had seen such a scene, and was desperate by his questions one by one. He could only shake his head and try to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. She was originally a person who was not good at speaking. She was taciturn before, and she happened to play an inconspicuous role. But now after being told by Tang Fan, when others thought about it carefully, they felt that Hanmei had really had many doubts.
Seeing that the winter plum bowed his head and said nothing, as if he was determined to hide it to the end, Wang Zhi raised his chin slightly.
The Western Factory Monk immediately understood and made a move to stab the winter plums in the stomach with his handle.
Wang Zhi said lightly: "If this attack continues, the child in your womb will definitely be out of protection. If the treatment is not done in time, it may be possible that one corpse and two lives will be alive."
To deal with such people, Xichang is naturally easy to get it.
Sure enough, when Hanmei heard this, her face turned pale, and she shivered, biting her lower lip, and she burst into tears.
Tang Fan and Wang Zhi were still patiently waiting for her to collapse, but Lin could no longer hold back and pounced on her, raised her hand and shot her left and right, and slapped her into the corners of her mouth and bleeding, her cheeks swollen, and she started cursing: "Aren't you already engaged in a marriage with the son of the front yard manager? Is this bastard his? Did Zhou ask you to do it? Say! Say!"
The death of her son made her sad and hysterical.
Just to ask the murderer, Lin held his breath so that he would not be lost as mentally as before.
Tang Fan and Wang Zhi frowned slightly. Before they could speak, the South Korean side had already stepped forward and forced themselves to help them away.
"Xuanniang,Xuanniang! Be calm and wait for her to say it!"
"Master, my heart hurts so much! Ah Zao is so cute and sensible. How can those people bear it! How can they bear it!" Lin fell into Han Fang's arms crying.
"I know, I know!" Han Fang also looked sad, patted her back and whispered to comfort her, while helping him with Lin's maid.
Tang Fan looked at the speechless wintersweet and suddenly asked, "Is it Han Hui?"
The wintersweet shook slightly.
Tang Fan became more and more sure of his guess: "The father of your child in your belly is Han Hui."
Wang Zhi reacted faster. When he heard Tang Fan's words, he saw the expression of Han Mei again and ordered directly: "Go and bring Han Hui here immediately!"
"Yes!" The people from the West Factory took the order and left hurriedly.
Wang Zhi asked Tang Fan again: "How do you infer that Han Mei and Han Hui have a relationship?"
Tang Fan then said: "When we came to the Han family last time, we met Han Zao's book boy. Do you still remember the first thing he said?"
Wang Zhi was puzzled: "How could I remember what he said?"
Tang Fan sighed: "At that time, when Han Zao's book boy saw us and Han Hui, he said something: You are here! What does this mean? It means that Han Hui had never met Han Zao's book boy before, and this is the biggest flaw! You know, Han Hui himself said that he and Han Zao's brotherly love each other and watched him grow up. But now his brother died, and the reason is unknown. Han Zao's book boy went out to the palace that day. Han Hui actually stopped asking about the cause of his brother's death because Lin locked him up. Isn't this unreasonable? In this way, there is only one possibility: Han Hui knew Han Zao's despair and did not want to reveal flaws. Lin just imprisoned people, so he pretended not to know."
"Also, when Han Hui talked to us, he deliberately or unintentionally led the topic to Lin's family. He took the opportunity to see Lin's personality and let us see with his own eyes the repetition of Lin's temperament, which proves that Lin's bad temper is full of enemies everywhere in the Han family. In this way, it is normal for someone to attack Han Zao because he is dissatisfied with Lin's family. So at the beginning, we inevitably think that Han Zao's death was related to the conflict between the women in the inner house, especially the existence of Xiao Zhou. She has a lot of hatred with Lin, and her husband is also a doctor, and all kinds of conditions are met."
"But I have said a long time ago that many things in the world are traceable. If you don't do it, you'll be good. If you do more, you'll be wrong. The more you'll be more traces revealed. If you don't know, you won't do it. Han Hui prepared all the evidence of Xiao Zhou's crimes neatly, and even put the silver needle under our noses to let us discover. Where is such a perfect thing in the world?"
"Then when we came last time, I often saw a small movement in Winter Plum. She would touch her lower abdomen from time to time. Who would do this? If your stomach is unwell, you would often stroke it with your hands. If your head is unwell, you would often press it with your hands. Then, does Winter Plum have a stomachache? But she looked clearly as usual at the time. But she didn't dare to come up to stop her when she saw Xiao Zhou being taken away, as if she was afraid of being pushed and hit. If you observe carefully, it would not be difficult to associate."
What does it mean to have some association? Wang Zhi secretly curled his lips to Tang Fan's seemingly modest words.
He thought his observation skills were very powerful, but he didn't notice these details at that time.
Or in other words, some people are destined to be born with this bowl of rice.
Wang Zhi would never admit that he would admire Tang Fan.
After saying all this, Tang Fan looked at the winter plum again: "Yes or not, find a doctor to come and take his pulse."
Wang Zhi added while Liangliang: "Then I will abort the child too."
Only then did the winter plums really get scared. She kept crying, as if she wanted to pounce on her, but was pressed tightly by the people from Xichang. Therefore, she could only look at Tang Fan and begged: "No, sir, please, let me go, let my children go, he is innocent!"
Tang Fan stared at her and asked again: "Is it Han Hui?"
"...Yes." After saying this, she felt as if her whole body had lost strength.
Tang Fan said: "If you want to be lenient, you will explain everything in full."
I have taken the first step, and there is nothing to be difficult to worry about next.
Winter Plum wiped away her tears and began to tell the story of her and Han Hui's relationship.
Xiao Zhou lost her husband, and Hanmei followed Xiao Zhou to the north. At this time, she was just a little maid who came out of a small family and knew nothing. She lived under the Han family with Xiao Zhou. Although she no longer had to worry about the young widow being bullied, the Han family was in great power and there were also many internal conflicts.
Han Hui, the young master of the second wife of the Han family, is well-educated and has a gentle temper. He just met an adoptive mother like Lin. He was very picky about him and felt that he was sent by his mother-in-law to monitor him, and the relationship between mother and son was very dissonant.
Seeing that Mr. Han was too much, he was humble and trembling in front of his adoptive mother, he felt sympathy for him. Occasionally, by chance, the two of them would say a few words. Mr. Han Hui had just started to fall in love, and Han Hui also developed a favor for this beautiful maid.
Over time, the two became a man and a woman. However, after hearing what his aunt said, Xiao Zhou took the initiative to marry Hanmei with his son, who was in charge of the front yard. Xiao Zhou thought it was also a good marriage for Hanmei, but he did not expect that Hanmei had already agreed to her and asked someone else to do so.
When Hanmei knew about it, she was bolt from the blue and went to find Han Hui.
Han Hui was not intentionally playing with Han Hui. He wanted to take Han Hui as his concubine. Of course, it was impossible for Han Hui to be a wife. She also knew that she could be a concubine. She could not disappoint her heart by being a concubine.
Who knew that the superior suddenly wanted to betroth a woman with Han Hui, and both of them were stunned. Han Hui could not find Lin in this kind of thing, because he knew that his adoptive mother would not only not help him stand up, but might also hate and insult him because Han Mei was the maid of Xiao Zhou. Although Han Fang loved Han Hui, he was a man after all, and it was not easy to interfere in such inner husbandry, so Han Hui went directly to find the mistress in the family, Han Qi's wife, Xiao Zhou's aunt Zhou.
Zhou did not like the second wife, so of course he would not agree to Han Hui's request to take Han Mei as his concubine. Because Han Hui had some concerns, he did not say that he had already secretly talked with Han Mei.
Okay, let’s stop talking. No matter how the couple’s twists and turns are in their hearts, how can they think about solving the problem, in short, wintersweet and Han Hui have a deep relationship.
During this period, when Han Hui was secretly having a secret meeting, Han Hui found that Han Hui was in a bad state. After repeated questioning, Han Hui refused to say that Han Hui just thought that he was scolded by his adoptive mother for no reason. Fortunately, he comforted him.
At that time, Han Hui asked her some questions about the human acupoints. He did not doubt that there were him. Not only did he teach him to recognize some acupoints, but he also carefully explained some of the taboos. Han Hui was smart and could basically learn it once. He also learned it very carefully. He even asked a few inches of needles clearly. At that time, Han Mei asked him what to do when he learned these things. His answer was that his mother Lin was in poor health and wanted to learn some acupuncture, so he could please her and scold her less.
As a result, after some time, Hanmei realized that she had not been to Tiangui for two months. Xiao Zhou's former husband was a doctor in the hall. Xiao Zhou himself knew the medical principles. Hanmei followed Xiao Zhou all day long, and under the influence of the eyes, she even prescribed prescriptions for ordinary diseases. Naturally, she knew that she was not sick, but pregnant.
At this moment, Han Hui suddenly found her and asked her to help hide a silver needle in Xiao Zhou's family.
Although Hanmei has little knowledge, she is not stupid. If Han Hui does this, she must ask questions.
Han Hui refused to tell her at first, so Han Mei had to tell him about the child.
After the initial shock, Han Hui finally briefly talked about the matter with her, but he did not inform her in full. He only said that Han Zao had died so much. The court sent someone to investigate. Maybe he would soon find out the Han family and ask her to help her.
On one side is his own master and on the other side is the child's father. Hanmei was in a dilemma and finally decided to do it according to Han Hui's words.
This is why Tang Fan and the others found the broken silver needle in Xiao Zhou's room.
Xiao Zhou's family is a courtyard for women. Not to mention Han Hui, even children like Han Zao are not easy to come in and out often. Only people like Han Plum who also live in the yard can place silver needles as they wish before Tang Fan and the others come to the door.
The causes and consequences were connected through the mouth of wintersweet, and the truth was finally revealed.
At this time, one of the people who had previously arrested Han Hui under Wang Zhi's order came back and said to Wang Zhi: "Master, when my subordinates went to the Imperial College to arrest people, the boy ran away in advance. Now the other people have chased me. I will come back first to report to the factory!"
Wang Zhi's face darkened: "What a waste! Even a weak scholar with no power can be caught. If you don't catch someone, you won't have to come back!"
The other party was scolded by Eunuch Wang and did not dare to speak.
On the other side, Lin suddenly broke free from the support of the Korean side, pushed him hard, and shouted: "Look, look, when your mother asked us to adopt Han Hui, I didn't agree. Now, I raised a ungrateful wolf and even took Azao's life in it! Go and ask your mother, she is still satisfied with her family's death now?"
Korean side: "Xuanniang..."
Lin cried and sneered: "How innocent my Azao is! He treated Han Hui like a brother, but who knew that his brother wanted to kill him! And my madness, if it weren't for the tugging of your mother and sister-in-law that day, how could this happen? Your Han family would not be a place for people to stay, and he killed my Azao!!"
After she said that, she rushed up to try to hit the wintersweet, but was stopped by the people from the West Factory. The other party did not dare to exert force, so she could only let her pester there. The scene was a little chaotic for a moment.
"Have you made enough trouble?" Tang Fan shouted loudly, and his voice directly overshadowed the noise of the scene.
Lin couldn't help but stop and followed the sound.
Tang Fan said to Lin: "Madam Han, although the murderer has been found, my duty has come to an end. The rest are the family affairs of your Han family. I shouldn't have been involved in too much trouble, but you always say that Han would treat Han Hui as your biological brother, and what about you, do you think Han Hui as your biological son?!"
Tang Fan took a deep breath: "Everything in the world has a cause and a result. When Han Hui was adopted by you, he was just a child who had just walked. Did he learn to distinguish between good and evil at that time? If you hadn't been prejudiced by your mother-in-law, refused to teach him well, blamed him in case of things, and even insulted him, and later, Han Zao was spoiled by Han Zao. Compared with the two, how could you calm Han Hui's mind? How could he have no thoughts in his heart? Dissatisfied in his heart, over time, become complaints and even hatred, and even be obsessed with his brother, this is naturally because he did something wrong. Killing people violates the law, and his own national law sanctions are imposed. But can you be out of trouble? Mrs. Han? Ask yourself, what would happen if you treated Han Hui and Han Zao equally at the beginning?"
Lin looked at him blankly, holding his hand in the air, maintaining his move that he wanted to slap the wintersweet just now, but he did not fall down for a long time.
Her face changed, and all kinds of emotions such as confusion, hatred, and regret appeared one by one, and more complex expressions were intertwined.
The heart was separated from the belly, and Tang Fan could not know whether she was really regretful of her past actions. She only saw Lin slowly lowering her arms, covering her face with her hands, and crying softly.
The Korean side sighed, hugged her in her arms, and said sadly: "I also have a responsibility for today's affairs!"
Of course, the South Korean side also has a responsibility, but he is the emperor's husband, so Tang Fan couldn't blame him too much. At this time, Wang Zhi winked at him, and the two walked out.
When he left outside, Wang Zhi smiled and said, "Since it has been confirmed that Xiao Zhou is innocent, I will let her go when I turn back. However, Han Hui will take her back for a question. When Han Hui finds someone, the matter will be complete. You will really live up to your expectations and resolve it quickly and neatly. Once you get Han Hui's confession, I will submit a statement to ask for me. If you don't say anything else, it should be fine to be promoted to the next level."
Tang Fan had no smile on his face, and he asked back: "Mr. Wang really thinks that things are complete?"
Wang curled his smile, stared at him coldly, and said word by word: "Yes, the murderer has been found, the case has been solved, and it has been completed."
Tang Fan sighed, "Why should Mr. Wang deceive himself? No matter how capable Han Hui is, he can't just know that the day he murdered Han Zao, there was a case of the imperial concubine sending him soup. Also, since Han Hui is not a person in the palace, he can't even enter the palace, so he must need an insider to contact him. Who will this person in the palace be? Mr. Wang doesn't think there are many doubts about this matter, so should he continue to investigate?"
Wang Zhi nodded: "I will investigate this matter, but it will be the matter of the West Factory after that, so you don't have to worry about it. Just wait for your promotion to come."
Tang Fan understood that Wang Zhi clearly wanted to put him aside, and if he found something unknown, it would be convenient to cover it up.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wang Zhi said again: "Tang Runqing, don't know too much about things you shouldn't know. Only by doing this official can you last long. I think you are quite pleasing to the eyes. Don't learn from those bad habits of civil officials!"
Tang Fan spread his hands: "Since that's the case, Mr. Wang shouldn't have asked me to investigate from the beginning. If I didn't speculate wrong, the eunuch Yuanliang next to the prince and the maid Furu, who was beside Concubine Wan, would have problems. Mr. Wang insisted on checking it himself. Can you ensure that the final result is under your control? If Concubine Wan knew about this, he thought of the prince from Yuanliang, thinking that the prince wanted to borrow Han Zao's death to blame her, and then he would make trouble with His Majesty, Mr. Wang had thought about these consequences?"
Wang Zhi said angrily: "Why haven't I thought about it? Don't say it as if you are the only one who is thinking about the prince! You, a foreign minister, are involved, and it's hard for the imperial concubine to not know. The best way is to let me investigate the secret in the palace first!"
Tang Fan said innocently: "I didn't say I wanted to get involved. Mr. Wang was so excited?"
To be continued...
