The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Chapter 114 I am the Law

How do you conduct your transactions?

"It's at Yingchun Tower. If they want it, they can leave a message there, and I'll know when I see it."

After Zhang Fugui told her everything, seeing that the woman remained silent, he became restless and said, "I've told you everything, Miss, can you please let me go?"

"and many more."

The woman suddenly spoke, startling Zhang Fugui so much that he almost knelt down.

"master."

At this moment, Yingyi hurriedly walked in from outside and respectfully bowed to the two of them.

"Ah."

The man responded coldly, and Yingyi quickly stepped forward and said to Su Fuying, "Princess, I have investigated Madam Zhang thoroughly."

Hearing this, Zhang Fugui's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Yingyi with some guilt, hoping not to get involved.

"She's dead."

Su Fuying had somewhat anticipated hearing those three words, but upon actually hearing them, she felt a pang of regret.

"what?"

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Fugui first let out a scream of disbelief, but quickly realized that his emotions were behaving strangely. He then quickly changed to a heartbroken expression and cried out in anguish, "What did you say? How could Jiajia be dead?"

Su Fuying looked at him coldly, a sneer appearing on her lips, and said mockingly, "Continue."

Yingyi continued, "Madam Zhang disappeared last March. After some investigation and tracking, we found the last place she disappeared in, and then followed the clues all the way there. Finally, we found her remains on a mountaintop."

Before Yingyi could finish speaking, Zhang Fugui impatiently interrupted, "It must be that she tried to have an affair but failed, got into an argument with her lover, and was brutally murdered! Your Honor, please investigate this matter thoroughly; I have absolutely nothing to do with it!"

Su Fuying's gaze grew even colder as she coldly questioned, "Has anyone said it has anything to do with you?"

Zhang Fugui immediately lowered his head and dared not reply.

Yingyi quickly finished reporting the remaining information, which was that Li Jiajia had started to change after waking up two years ago after accidentally falling into the water.

They say strange things every day, do strange things, and even clamor for a divorce.

At first, Zhang Fugui beat Li Jiajia at home every day, and he beat her even more after hearing Li Jiajia say that she wanted to be with Li.

As time went on, Zhang Fugui suddenly discovered that Li Jiajia's strange and unusual things could make money, and he immediately changed his attitude, becoming obsequious and ingratiating all day long.

Later, Li Jiajia stopped insisting on divorce. Perhaps it was because she saw Zhang Fugui gradually improving, or perhaps it was because she gradually became disillusioned with this feudal society.

Every day, Zhang Fugui would stay at home studying strange and unusual things, which he would then sell for money.

Who knew that after Zhang Fugui extracted all of Li Jiajia's knowledge, he reverted to his original state.

He beat and scolded Li Jiajia every day and stayed overnight in brothels. Seeing this, Li Jiajia prepared to pack her things and run away from home, but Zhang Fugui caught her and beat her to death.

I heard that the whole village was filled with Li Jiajia's wails that night, but no one tried to stop her. In the end, Zhang Fugui buried her on the mountain at will.

After hearing this, Su Fuying's face turned terribly cold, and Zhang Fugui felt a chill spread from head to toe.

"No, it wasn't me, sir. This servant must be talking nonsense," Zhang Fugui explained in a panic, cold sweat beading on his forehead, his eyes revealing fear and unease.

However, Su Fuying's gaze was as sharp as a knife, fixed on Zhang Fugui, as if trying to see the truth deep in his heart through his eyes.

Her face was extremely gloomy, giving people an invisible pressure.

Zhang Fugui trembled, trying to continue his defense in a trembling voice: "Sir, please don't believe him! Jiajia and I have a deep affection for each other, how could I do such a cruel thing? This servant must be jealous of me and deliberately fabricated lies to slander me..."

"How dare you!" Shadow Two was the first to object, and was about to rebuke him when he heard his master speak.

"Are you saying that my men are incompetent?"

The man raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes, as deep as a still pool, narrowed slightly, his gaze unusually cold, like ice piercing to the bone.

An invisible pressure gripped Zhang Fugui's throat, making it hard for him to breathe. "No, that's not what I meant. I just... just..."

Lu Yanxiu didn't even glance at him, but turned his head and said to Su Fuying in a gentle voice, "It's dirty inside, let's go out first."

In a single sentence, Zhang Fugui suddenly understood something, and a huge panic swept over him. When he saw Ying Er draw his knife and walk towards him, he felt his whole body go weak.

A foul, fishy smell emanated from the ground, and a pool of yellow liquid ran down Zhang Fugui's leg.

"do not look."

A warm, large hand covered her eyes, and another hand put its arm around the woman's shoulder as they walked out.

"No, you can't do this to me! Do you know who's behind me?"

Zhang Fugui was still howling behind him. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he could only continue to threaten, "I've already given you the things, how dare you take my life? Is there no law anymore!"

"I am the law!"

The man beside her suddenly stopped. In the dim candlelight, every word seemed to strike her heart. His eyes were as deep as the night, revealing an undeniable gloom.

Zhang Fugui's cries stopped abruptly; the terrifying aura emanating from the man made him forget to beg for mercy.

"Let Cangyu handle it."

The man left after saying this, blocking Su Fuying's way. Both Yingyi and Yinger were stunned. Cangyu, why would he call Cangyu for such a trivial matter?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the stunned Zhang Fugui with a hint of pity.

Su Fuying didn't say a word the whole way until she entered the courtyard, where the fragrant osmanthus blossoms brought her back to her senses.

She initially thought she had met someone from her hometown, but unexpectedly...

Such a disgusting man! It's a pity for that woman; her perfectly good life was wasted for no reason.

Suddenly it occurred to me that if I knew nothing and came here, I would probably die on the first day.

"Hey."

"Have Shadow One find someone to give that woman a proper burial."

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Su Fuying immediately felt somewhat tired.

"it is good."

Lu Yanxiu responded softly and continued, "I'll take you back to rest first."

The two walked side by side in the dark alley. Su Fuying suddenly asked, "Why did you let Yingyi investigate Li Jiajia's death?"

By the time she realized this, the man had already investigated everything thoroughly; he was truly meticulous in his work.

The man chuckled softly, "Because I can read minds."

"whispering sound."

This guy is the type who'll be overjoyed if you give him a little sunshine, so Su Fuying didn't want to argue with him.

She suddenly realized that the man's hand was around her waist, and they had been walking like that the whole way!

She slapped his hand away, crossed her arms, and looked at him warily. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Don't try anything funny."

The man looked down at his empty hand, reluctantly twirling his fingertips, and gently exhaled. He then lowered his head slightly to meet the woman's wary gaze.

"Oh, but we've already kissed, what should we do?"

The man stared at her intently, and for a fleeting moment, Su Fuying seemed to see a dark glint in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
