Chapter 810 Chen Shou's Father Passed Away

After everyone listened, you looked at me and I looked at you. Then a younger villager cleared his throat and was about to start describing the situation at that time.

A man was the first to speak: "Master Prime Minister, my home is not far from Zhao Tianyue's home. That day I was driving sheep to graze nearby, and I saw this man walking over quickly with a hurried look. He looked like he was there. What's the emergency? Zhao Tianyue chased him immediately, shouting for him to stop, but the man ran so fast that Zhao Tianyue couldn't catch up in the end. "

At this time, another woman also echoed and said: "Yes, I was washing clothes by the river that day. I was rubbing my clothes when I looked up and saw this man coming. The strange thing is that the murderer walked up to me He also deliberately stayed for a while Son, he said with an arrogant expression, "If you have the ability, go to Youzhou College to find me Dongfanghong." That tone was quite arrogant, so I later told Zhao Tianyue that this person's name was Dongfanghong. I was telling the truth. Not a single lie."

After listening to their stories, everyone nodded, looking at Xi Yu as if to say, now the evidence is conclusive, Dongfang Hong is the perpetrator.

Zhao Tianyue, on the other hand, looked sad and angry, and stared at Dongfang Hong fiercely again, his eyes full of hatred.

Dongfang Hong was angry and anxious, but at the moment she didn't know how to refute, so she could only sit there with a blushing face.

At this time, Xi Yu looked at Zhao Tianyue and asked calmly: "It was after the woman told you that you found out about Youzhou College, and then you went there to look for Dongfang Hong, right?"

Zhao Tianyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Xi Yu suddenly laughed, with a hint of insight in his laughter. He continued: "Think about it, if a bad person did something bad, would he still foolishly tell you what he was doing? Where? And he said his name openly, how is this possible? This is so unreasonable."

As soon as Xi Yu said these words, everyone in the audience was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, everyone suddenly realized it. Many people patted their heads and secretly said in annoyance: "Yes, such a simple truth, why didn't we think of it?"

Seeing this, Xi Yu's expression became serious and he said in a solemn tone: "So, in my opinion, this must be someone deliberately framed Dongfang Hong, deliberately setting up such a situation so that everyone would misunderstand him."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion, and looked at Dongfang Hong with a little more doubt in their eyes. They were no longer as sure as before that he was the murderer.

Dongfang Hong, on the other hand, had a look of grievance mixed with anger, and said through gritted teeth: "Someone must be trying to harm me, and I must find out the person behind this!"

But Zhao Tianyue still refused to give up, and then said: "But the person I saw that day clearly looked like the person in front of me. How could I admit my mistake? Could it be that he also has a twin brother? Anyway, I saw it with my own eyes. See, you can’t go wrong.”

When he said this, his eyes were full of stubbornness and he stared at Dongfang Hong closely.

Dongfang Hong was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his eyes became red and swollen because of anger. He responded loudly: "I don't know about this, but I can promise with my chest that I didn't do anything bad. You can't just rely on that." Just point to the so-called 'evidence' and insist that it is me. If you continue to question me and slander me without any basis, I will not let it go and will fight you to the end!"

Everyone looked at Dongfang Hong's appearance and fell silent for a moment, thinking that maybe this matter was not that simple after all.

Maybe, as Xi Yu said, someone was deliberately framed behind the scenes.

Xi Yu was thinking about how to explain the strangeness of this, when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered the magical object human skin mask mentioned in the martial arts drama he watched in his previous life.

He and Dongfang Hong looked at each other, and they blurted out almost at the same time: "Human skin mask!"

After saying that, both of them laughed as if they had solved the puzzle.

Zhao Tianyue was confused by their sudden reaction and asked with doubts on his face: "What do you two mean? What do you mean by human skin mask? Why can't I understand it?"

Xi Yu stopped laughing, cleared his throat, and explained patiently: "This human skin mask is a thing that can imitate other people's faces. After wearing it, you can appear in front of everyone as someone else. So it is very possible that the person you saw calling himself Dongfang Hong was actually wearing a human skin mask and deliberately pretending to be him to do such evil things so as to blame Dongfang Hong. "

After everyone heard Xi Yu's explanation, they all looked shocked, as if a door to a new world had been opened, and they began to discuss among themselves in whispers.

The look in Dongfang Hong's eyes was a little more thoughtful, and she was no longer as sure as before that he was the culprit.

After hearing Xi Yu's analysis, Zhao Tianyue showed a little guilt on his face and said, "After the Prime Minister's analysis, I also feel that I was indeed a little impulsive before. Just based on the appearance I saw, I concluded that Dongfang Hong did it. , I haven’t thought about the doubts. But, if that’s the case, how can we find the person wearing the human skin mask?”

Xi Yu frowned slightly and rubbed his chin gently with his hand. After thinking for a moment, he sighed helplessly: "This is really tricky. This human skin mask is so elusive. After putting it on, it looks almost exactly like me. I think. Finding that person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, we cannot give up and look for clues from other aspects to see if we can find out who is behind the scenes."

Dongfang Hong nodded at the side and said with a serious face: "We must continue to investigate. We cannot let the guy who framed me go unpunished. I cannot bear this injustice."

After everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought, wondering where to start to find the mysterious masked man.

Xiyu looked solemn.

"No matter how difficult this matter is, I have to do it. This is not just to restore Dongfang Hong's innocence. Think about it, if this human skin mask is widely used in life, it will be chaotic. If someone with evil intentions wears it and pretends to be someone else to do evil, then everyone may be wronged and become a mess, which is very harmful to all of us.”

After hearing this, the surrounding villagers nodded in agreement.

The old man frowned and said worriedly: "The Prime Minister is right. If bad guys rely on this human skin mask to hide their identity to do bad things, we people will not live a stable life. We really have to find a way to put this behind the scenes." Find the perpetrators and we must not let this kind of thing spread. "

Others also echoed, and everyone now realized the seriousness of the problem.

Finally, Zhao Tianyue said with sincerity: "Prime Minister, I believe you, you must seek justice for my miserable sister."

After that, he turned back to the villagers and raised his voice and said: "Today, let's let the Prime Minister and Brother Dongfanghong go back first. I trust the Prime Minister's character and I believe he will give us a satisfactory explanation." of."

After hearing this, Xi Yu nodded with a smile and said: "Haha, we can't be acquainted without fighting. In that case, Dongfang Hong and I will go back first. Don't worry, I will definitely solve this case in the shortest possible time." Get to the bottom of it and never break your promise.”

Dongfang Hong also echoed: "Yes, just relax, we will definitely find out the mastermind behind it."

After saying that, the two said goodbye to Zhao Tianyue and the other villagers, got on their horses and galloped towards the road they came from.

The horses' hooves raised clouds of dust, leaving everyone standing there, looking expectantly at their retreating figures.

Dongfang Hong and Xi Yu were galloping on their way back on horseback, but both of them felt very heavy, and they did not feel relieved at all because they had temporarily solved the misunderstanding among the villagers.

Dongfanghong broke the slightly dull atmosphere and said with a long sigh: "After this, I can now appreciate your hard work. You have to worry about even such a small thing, every day. How tiring.”

After hearing this, Xi Yu turned to look at him, raised his eyebrows, and said pretending to be dissatisfied: "Hey, are you praising me, or are you mocking me? Why does this sound wrong to me? ah."

Seeing this, Dongfang Hong couldn't help but smile and said, "It doesn't matter how you interpret it. Anyway, I just felt it. It's not easy for you to be a prime minister."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, but behind the smiles, there was still concern about this difficult case.

With the clatter of horses' hooves, they continued to head back, each thinking about how to find clues and find out the person behind the scenes.

After returning to the academy, Dongfanghong was exhausted both physically and mentally, so she went straight to her room to rest.

Xi Yu, on the other hand, did not rest for a moment and immediately began to intensively plan and investigate the matter.

He knew that time was running out and he had to find out the truth as soon as possible. He could not let the mastermind go unpunished, let alone let Dongfang Hong continue to be wronged.

On the other side, since Chen Shou left with his father last time because he couldn't stand Zhao Yun, he came to settle down in an extremely remote mountain village in Qingzhou.

Life in this small mountain village was ordinary but stable, but unexpectedly, on this day, Chen's father suddenly became seriously ill.

Chen Shou was so anxious that he hurried out and invited doctors everywhere. He invited several doctors one after another.

But after those doctors looked at it, they all shook their heads helplessly and said that there was really nothing they could do. The disease had reached the point where no medicine could work.

Father Chen was lying on the hospital bed, looking at Chen Shou who had an anxious and sad face. He weakly raised his hand, patted his hand gently, and said slowly: "My child, there is no need to be sad. Life and death are determined by my destiny." This life has been exhausted, there is no immortality, don't be too worried. "

After Chen Shou heard this, tears couldn't stop rolling in his eyes, but he resisted and refused to let them fall. He choked and said: "Dad, don't say such things. There will be a way. I will go find it again." Try another doctor."

Chen Shou felt increasingly sad after hearing his father's words.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered that Xi Yu had invited him over before, and he murmured to himself: "Dad, I suddenly remembered, didn't the Prime Minister ask me to come over before? I don't know. Is it okay for me to go over there now, and there must be more powerful doctors there, who might be able to cure your illness."

After hearing this, Chen's father shook his head slightly and said feebly: "Son, don't bother with it. We are far away from there. It takes who knows how many days and a half to go back and forth. Dad's body is too weak." I can’t wait that long. Besides, you must have offended the Prime Minister if you didn’t come last time I was invited. How can I ask for help? Let’s not bring trouble to ourselves.”

After hearing his father's words, Chen Shou looked hesitant and felt entangled in his heart.

But at this moment, Chen's father suddenly coughed even more violently. The violent cough seemed to make him cough out his heart and lungs. His originally sallow face became more and more ugly, exuding a sense of death. He seemed to be getting worse and worse. It's getting worse.

When Chen Shou saw this, his eyes turned red and tears came out of his eyes. His grief was beyond words. His whole body seemed to have been drained of strength and he stood blankly beside the bed.

Chen's father held on to his last bit of strength and raised his hand with difficulty, trying to wipe away his son's tears. His voice was weak but also revealed a hint of openness and said: "Son, dad has nothing to regret in this life, and you don't have to either." It’s very sad, life, old age, illness and death are all destiny.”

After saying this, Father Chen slowly closed his eyes, his hands dropped weakly, and he completely lost his breath.

Chen Shou felt like the sky was falling, and he threw himself on his father and cried loudly, feeling very sad.

The cry echoed in this small room, full of endless sadness and reluctance.

On this day, Chen Shou endured his grief and buried his father on a hillside outside the village.

In the days that followed, he was alone and his life was still difficult.

After all, the father and son had always lived frugally in this small mountain village, relying on their meager wages to write petitions for others. Now that their father is gone, the family's financial situation is even worse.

It's just that in the past few days after his father passed away, he was filled with sadness and was in no mood to do anything else.

He often sits in the room, staring at the place where his father once sat, and his mind keeps reminiscing about the past moments with his father.

When I think of those things, tears can't stop flowing down, and my whole body is immersed in the pain of losing a loved one and can't extricate myself.

Parthia.

Smith and Hesheli stood in an empty square of the palace, surrounded by solemn silence.

Shi Dami said to Hesheli solemnly: "Your Majesty, no matter what, we have to find out Xi Yu's birthday first. I think we should continue to the Central Plains and not go to Youzhou. After all, it is not good. Go in, but you can still come and go freely in most other places, and you can always find some clues.”

Hesheli listened and nodded in agreement.

After that, Shi Dami bid farewell to Hesheli, left the palace alone, rode on the horse that had been prepared and rushed to the Central Plains.

It was getting late that day, and suddenly it started to rain in the gloomy sky. The rain was pouring down, and soon the earth was covered in a curtain of rain.

Shi Dami rode into the Qingzhou area. He thought about continuing in the rain, but when he looked up, a small village appeared in front of him, surrounded by wilderness.

It's dark and rainy, so it's really hard to go on the road.

Shi Dami was anxious, and all he wanted to do was find a place to take shelter from the rain.

At this moment, he saw a hut not far ahead. He felt happy and hurriedly drove his horse towards the hut.

When he arrived, he dismounted without hesitation and walked inside immediately.

This hut is Chen Shou's home.

At this moment, Chen Shou was in the house. When he heard the noise coming from outside, he was full of doubts in his heart. He didn't know who could be coming in the rain.

After Chen Shou heard the noise, he walked out of the house and saw Shi Dami, who was all wet.

Shi Dami hurried forward and said politely: "Brother, I'm really sorry to bother you. It's raining so hard outside. I came here in a hurry and wanted to ask if I could take shelter here. I'm a businessman on the road. ”

Chen Shou looked Shi Dami up and down and noticed that his skin color was somewhat different from that of the Central Plains people, so he asked, "I'm afraid you are not from the Central Plains?"

Shi Dami answered truthfully: "Brother, I have good eyesight. I am from the Parthian Empire. I passed through this place. I didn't want to encounter this rain, so I took the liberty to come here for help."

After hearing this, Chen Shou nodded slightly and said, "I see, I've heard of the Parthian Empire. Since it's just shelter from the rain, you should come in quickly and don't get wet outside."

When Shi Dami heard this, he quickly said gratefully: "Thank you, brother, for taking me in. I really appreciate it."

After saying that, he followed Chen Shou into the house. The rain kept dripping down the corners of his clothes, forming a small water stain on the ground.

Shi Dami entered the house and saw that the house was simple but well-organized, and he had a little more respect for Chen Shou in his heart.

He stood aside, wiping the rainwater from his clothes with some embarrassment.

Chen Shou found a clean cloth and handed it to Shi Dami and said, "Use this to wipe it first. It rained suddenly and your whole body is soaked. It will be bad if you catch the wind and cold."

Shi Dami took the cloth and wiped it while saying: "Thanks for meeting my brother today, otherwise I really don't know what to do. I thought the rain would stop soon, but I didn't expect it to rain harder and harder. In this wilderness In the wild, luckily you have your hut.”

"No one has trouble when traveling, but why do you, a businessman from the Parthian Empire, come here? This road is not close, and it is quite difficult and dangerous, right?"

"Oh, I'm just running around for a living. I heard that the Central Plains is prosperous and there are many business opportunities, so I came here."

As the two were talking, the rain outside was still crackling, as if there were endless stories to tell.

In this small hut, two people from different places began to share their experiences.

After a while, Shi Daming saw that there was a smile on Chen Shou's clothes, so he asked: "What are you doing..."

Father Chen told about his father's death.

"That's really unfortunate, I hope you can be more patient and understanding." (End of this chapter)
