Chapter 409 The truth of the year

"I killed everyone, and there is no one else to help. It would be fine to just pronounce the sentence. What's the use of asking so much? Can you not kill me because of this?"

Chen Yi didn't deny it: "That's not possible, but because I want to pay back a favor, I want to know the truth and judge whether I can help or not."

Fang Zi raised his head abruptly, a little excited.

Then I don't know what I thought of, the expression on my face became lonely, until it turned into a pool of stagnant water.

"No need, let's keep this man, my lord. It should be of great use in the future. It's not worth wasting it on me. You can refuse me, my lord. I deserve to die. I deserve it all." .”

Chen Yi frowned. Before that, Fang Zi still wanted to live.

Why did he lose hope of living in just a few days?
"You really don't want to live? Just die like this? Then your brother's efforts will be in vain."

Fang Zi's eyes widened in surprise, and then he gave up covering up as if in compromise, with a very complicated expression on his face.

"It's really him. I thought he wouldn't talk to me anymore. It's all my fault. I..."

Chen Yi didn't urge him, but he was just thinking about the story told by the storyteller that he heard in the inn. If Fang Zi was the young knight, there was actually something wrong.

The storyteller said that it was because the county magistrate's sister-in-law fell in love with Fang Zi and kept pestering her. If Fang Zi was really a young knight, his martial arts must be very powerful. How could he not be able to get rid of a woman?
As long as he took advantage of their unprepared and walked away.

The storyteller said that in order to get rid of that woman, Fang Zi directly said that he was married and had children.

This point seems to be unreasonable now, although it is said that people in ancient times got married very early, and some got married at the age of fourteen or five.

So who did the storyteller say Fang Zi's wife and children were killed by the magistrate's servant?

As Chen Yi said before, this has nothing to do with the case, but he is really curious.

"I told you all, but I have a request, that is, don't waste your favor on me."

Chen Yi didn't agree or say no: "Tell me, what happened at that time?"

"I do have a biological older brother, who is also my senior brother. We are the same teacher. At that time, I had a little success in kung fu, so I wanted to go out to practice. At that time, my master and brother disagreed, so I just quietly ran out."

When Fang Zi said this, the guilt on his face was very obvious.

"Because I was young and frivolous, I felt that I could handle everything I saw, so I helped many people along the way, but I didn't expect to be spotted by that woman named Xiang Shi. The woman who flirted with you in the street.”

With a wry smile, Fang Zi raised his hand and wiped his face.

"I saved her as usual, without any doubts. When I was still complacent, she said I wanted to thank her, so I was taken to meet her brother-in-law, the magistrate. Drugged, so I can't leave."

"So when I woke up, I didn't feel much trouble, but the county magistrate directly said that he would betroth Xiang Shi to me. I didn't like her at all. It was out of good intentions, so I refused directly. I didn't expect them to let me go. , find someone to watch over me."

Chen Yi saw Fang Zi stop and asked.

"Because I had been drinking drugs all the time, I had no energy in my body, and I couldn't escape even if I wanted to. I could only lie to them that I already had a wife and children, thinking that they would let me go, but I didn't expect that the county magistrate proposed to take me with me. Xiang Shi went to see him."

When Chen Yi heard this, it was similar to what Mr. Storyteller said, except that there were some more details.

"You are not married, who did you take them to meet?"

Chen Yi was a little guessing in his heart, after all, Fang Zi's performance before was a bit obvious.

"I'm not married, but my brother is already married and has a child. I thought that they need such a person anyway, so I just find an acquaintance to help me act, and I know that during the day, my brother is at the master's place. So I won't run into him."

"I persuaded my sister-in-law to cover it up for me. It happened that my sister-in-law told me that my master had something to do. My brother hasn't come back recently, so I decided to stay for one night and leave before my brother came back."

"But I didn't expect this move to bring her a fatal disaster! I'm not human, how could I really think that they would give up as long as they saw someone? There is no defense at all!"

Speaking of this, Fang Zi was a little excited, his eyes were red, and a hideous expression flashed across his face.

"How can they do it?! My little nephew is only eight months old, not more than one year old. They just killed him like that. When I came back, I saw that he collapsed and completely forgot to react. .”

Chen Yi was a little puzzled when he heard this. What the storyteller said was roughly correct. It seemed that he had really inquired about Fang Zi.

But he later said that Fangzi went back and married the sister-in-law of the county magistrate, which is a bit ridiculous. After all, Fangzi's sister-in-law and nephew died because of him, how could Fangzi be in the mood to get married?

Chen Yi was a little puzzled, but seeing that Fang Zi was immersed in his emotions, he didn't urge him.

After a while, Fang Zi adjusted his mood before continuing.

"Actually at that time, I had already begun to suspect that the death of my sister-in-law and nephew had something to do with Xiang Shi, but I knew that even if I reported to the officials, it would be useless. After all, Xiang Shi's brother-in-law was the county magistrate, but I couldn't let my sister-in-law And my nephew died in vain."

"I left a letter for my brother, secretly handed it to the neighbors, and then followed their advice and went back. Sure enough, it was them. Maybe they did too many things like this. Xiangshi did not hide his pride and excitement. , I have never shown it."

When Fang Zi said this, a bright and sad smile appeared on his face.

"I took advantage of that day to get married. They didn't continue to give me the drug, and they killed people that night, but what was the use? My sister-in-law and nephew were still dead. I went back later and didn't dare to see my brother. .”

Fang Zi suddenly stretched out his hand and put his head in his arms: "It was only then that I realized that my brother's disappearance is the chef's funeral. My master thought he went out to find me, met someone who was an enemy, and was besieged by many people and died. My brother was going to bring back the body of the master."

Chen Yi was a little surprised, this matter was a bit too bloody.
