Chapter 92 The Witness of the Year

In front of the Chu family's side door, Chu Junlan looked at the tall man in surprise in front of him with a strong bone.

"Mr. Fu? Who is this?"

The man had obviously just washed up, his gray hair was tied to his head, his stubble was shaved cleanly, Fang Zheng's face was bloodless, he was skinny and covered in a brown Taoist robe, and he could tell his tall skeleton. He thought he was a man who was strong before.

Fu Zhiheng raised his eyebrows: "Strange, you have used such great strength to save him, but you don't recognize him when you see him?"

"Captain Yuan?" Chu Junlan was surprised, "An Ge, you go and rescue Captain Yuan!"

"It turns out that the girl was saved. Yuan Kanghu thanked the girl for helping her life." Yuan Kanghu bowed his hand and knelt on one knee.

Chu Junlan hurriedly reached out to help him, "Captain Yuan, please get up quickly."

"I am now white and no longer a captain." Yuan Kanghu looked at the Chu family's house and his eyes moved.

Chu Junlan noticed something, but didn't say much. He just smiled and invited the two of them into the mansion and went straight to Dongqianyuan.

Chu Huting and Baole had already heard the news and started to salute after hearing the sound.

Both sides were polite and sat down one after another. Fu Zhiheng said, "Shuntian Prefecture sent Captain Yuan's case back and retried. Liu Yanei did many evil things. Captain Yuan should have eliminated the harm to the people, but in the end he injured his life, so he took the official position and demoted him to white. Liu Yanei did many evil things, but because he had died, he gave up."

Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows: "This judgment is actually a bias. Uncle Yuan has now become a white man, but the Liu Yanei family is the in-laws of Concubine Shu. Once Uncle Yuan leaves the prison, why would the Liu family take revenge? "

"That's right, so I used some connections to bring Uncle Yuan to you in advance." Fu Zhiheng also called Yuan Kanghu Uncle Yuan by following the rules.

Captain Yuan's face looked sad and moved: "This is the best result for me. When I killed that guy, I didn't think about living."

Chu Junlan smiled and said, "Uncle Yuan is to eliminate harm for the people, so he shouldn't have died so early. You have also seen that my brother is blind and the situation at home is actually very complicated. My brother only has one Baole around me, so I'm not relieved. I want to ask Uncle Yuan to stay by my brother's side as a guard. Although I know this is a useless person, I still hope Uncle Yuan can agree."

How could Yuan Kanghu know that it was Chu Junlan who was deliberately helping him?

"Miss Chu and Mr. Fu have spared no effort to save their lives. If I stay in your house, I will definitely bring the revenge of the Liu family to you. Then will I be able to repay kindness and revenge?"

Yuan Kanghu bowed sincerely and said, "I can't harm you like this. If Miss Chu has anything to ask, just ask, and I will definitely tell you everything."

Chu Huating's face, blindfolded, turned involuntarily towards Chu Junlan.

Chu Junlan also felt nervous and squeezed Chu Huating's hand under the table.

"To be honest, the little woman does have something to ask, but I must be sure of Uncle Yuan. If Uncle Yuan refuses repeatedly, he will look down on me, a woman."

"Yes, Uncle Yuan." Fu Zhiheng also smiled, "People say that the grace of a drop of water will be repaid with a spring of water. Miss Chu saved your life, and asked you to protect her brother. If you don't agree, wouldn't it be disappointing Miss Chu's kindness?"

Yuan Kanghu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "So, thank you Miss Chu, Mr. Chu's kindness."

Chu Junlan and Chu Huating both laughed and ordered Baole and Zi Yan to prepare the meal. Setting up a table in the East Cross Courtyard, Fu Zhiheng was fortunate to eat the fine wine made by Chu Junlan for him again, and he held a jar of wine with satisfaction and said goodbye.

As night fell, a silk lantern was lit in the house, and Zi Yan and Baole were guarding outside the door. Chu Junlan and Chu Huating asked about the case that year.

Yuan Kanghu sighed: "I didn't expect that the eldest young master and the third lady were the children of the wife back then. When I saw each other quickly, you were all so young."

Chu Junlan said sincerely: "We brother and sister have always felt that our mother's death is very strange. I wonder if Captain Yuan still remembers what happened back then."

"Remember," Yuan Kanghu said bluntly, "Actually, when Mr. Fu brought me to the front of the mansion, I guessed that my rescue might be related to the events of that year. The third lady was my savior, and I had nothing to hide. The case back then was indeed suspicious."

"I would like to inform Uncle Yuan." Chu Huating was shocked and bowed.

Yuan Kanghu waved his hand and said, "I believe that the two of you already know the case that day, so I don't need to elaborate on it. I only talk about the suspicion. After investigating the case, I found that Mrs. Lu was in trouble next to the rockery in the garden. In fact, there should be an eyewitness."

What?

Chu Junlan and Chu Huating were both very surprised. They were too young at that time, and they were busy and sad to lose their mother, and they didn't care about anything else. Many years later, they couldn't tell how true or false the news they heard from others. In addition, the gardens of that year had been renovated and the servants had changed several times, so it was natural that the old man could not know what he had.

"Mrs. Lu served in the palace in the past. If what I know is true, when Mrs. Lu left the palace, she actually brought a nanny who served her. When I investigated the case, this nanny Tao said that she had returned to her hometown to support her. I thought that she had just happened to her master, which was really strange, so she arranged for someone to investigate. Who knew that after many people had been investigated, she couldn't figure out where the hometown of Tao's hometown, "Taojia Village". The world is so big that finding Madam Tao is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Chu Junlan and Chu Huating both looked very serious and asked, "Then did Uncle Yuan find out the whereabouts of this Madam Tao?"

"No." Yuan Kanghu shook his head and said solemnly, "What happened later made me feel even more strange about Mrs. Lu's case. Just when I ordered someone to investigate Madam Tao, my Shangfeng suddenly issued an order directly, ordering me to stop the investigation of the case and quickly close the case by accident."

"What!" Chu Huating clenched his fists, so this is how his mother's accidental death came about.

"Even if there is something doubtful, I have to close the case in a sloppy way. This is simply..."

Chu Junlan held his brother's hand, "Brother, Captain Yuan also obeyed the order. Since he gave the order to the top, what can he do?"

Chu Huating pursed his lips and nodded, "I know."

Chu Junlan looked at Yuan Kanghu: "Uncle Yuan, did you know why your upsurge suddenly ordered the case to be closed in a hurry?"

"I don't know."

"So who is your upspring?"

"It was Yi Yuhai, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture at that time. Now Lord Yi is the Minister of Personnel." Yuan Kanghu spoke bluntly.

Chu Junlan nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan."

It seems that if she wants to find out whereabouts of that year, she not only wants to look for a needle in a haystack to find that Madam Tao, but also finds a way to know the truth from the mouth of Shangshu Yi. However, Shangshu Yi has a high position and a powerful position, where can she get the opportunity to get close to it?

After Chu Junlan returned to his room, he tossed and turned and did not sleep all night.

The next morning, I came back from picking the morning dew and just went to the yard to pay my respects to the old lady, and a maid told me back and forth.

"Old Lady, the head of the Great Princess's Mansion is here."
