If the couple is very loving, would he allow her to be like this?

At least you should help her wipe the dirt off her body and change her into clean clothes.

The so-called rumors are just rumors after all!

But Li Si obviously did not realize this and was still preparing to take the pestle to the scene for investigation.

"No need to be so troublesome." Su Xuan spoke up to stop Li Si.

Li Si's eyes lit up, "Brother, have you found any key clues?"

Su Xuan shook his head, looked at Teng Kan, and asked, "County Lieutenant Teng, I heard that you two are deeply in love. I wonder if this is true or not?"

Teng Kan was obviously stunned for a moment, his eyes reddened, and he murmured, "I fell in love with her at first sight, and I indulged her in everything. How could I not love her?"

"Then why didn't County Captain Teng clean up the dirt on her body when he saw her body?" Su Xuan looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Li Si also realized something was wrong when he heard this, and he also looked at Teng Kan, hoping that he would give him a reasonable explanation.

"This..." Teng Kan was choked up, his eyes wandering, and soon his face showed sadness. He explained, "When I learned about my wife's death, my mind went blank. I only wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible and bring him to justice."

The reasonable explanation instantly dispelled Li Si's doubts. He sighed softly and felt a little ashamed. They were a couple and respected each other and had a harmonious relationship, but he still doubted him!

He looked at Su Xuan, as if saying, Senior Brother, did we make a mistake?

Looking at Li Si who was doubting his life, Su Xuan smiled and shook his head, "Junior brother, the truth is often hidden inside things, and illusions are often exposed outside things."

“There is more to criminal justice than just following the rules, and finding the truth is not as complicated as you might think.”

As the words fell, Su Xuan snapped his fingers, and a ball of fire suddenly appeared at his fingertips. He looked straight at Teng Kan, and their eyes met. In just a moment, Teng Kan's eyes became dull and he lost his self-awareness.

This is exactly the fire charm technique that Su Xuan learned from Yan Lingji!

When it comes to sentencing and adjudicating cases, who says that extraordinary means cannot be used?

The fire charm is more than enough to deal with an ordinary person!

"Are you and your wife really as loving as the rumors say?" He asked the same question.

"Love?" Teng Kan sneered as if he had heard a huge joke. "You mean that woman who bosses me around every day and tramples on my dignity as a man every day, and I have to pretend nothing happened, coaxing her and smiling at her every day. If this is considered love, then we are indeed very loving!"

Li Si's eyes widened. The same question received two completely different answers. He looked at the flames dancing in Su Xuan's eyes with a flickering gaze, thinking that this was most likely a martial arts technique from the martial arts world.

He waved his hand and asked his officials to record Teng Kan's every word and action.

Teng Kan's beard became slightly hurried, "Everyone knows the story of the four screens, but the course of events is not what they think at all!"

"It's not her I like, but Lu'er. It was she who tore us apart and separated us from each other!" Teng Kan said angrily. "At first, I submitted my name card in Xianyang. With my knowledge, I could have made great achievements in Xianyang. But she, with the help of her father's influence, transferred me to a remote place. I started as a minor official. While trying to arrest a robber, I was stabbed several times and nearly died. I thought I could be promoted based on my merits, but I didn't expect that I would only get the honorary title of a hero in the end!"

"From then on, I knew that I could never go back to Xianyang. I could only be a minor official in this remote place forever. No matter how hard I tried, I could see my future fate from those older officials."

"Until one day, that woman wrote me a letter, asking me to kneel down and beg her. If I marry her, she can go back to Xianyang." His eyes were red, and his chest rose and fell. "I have never been humiliated like this. I wish I could hold the Qin sword and kill her whole family."

"But she calmed me down with just one sentence. She said if I didn't do it, she would kill Lu'er."

"That day, I bent my back and knelt in front of her in servility. I lost all my dignity as a man. But I think, as long as Lu'er is alive, it will all be worth it." His ferocious expression suddenly softened, as if he thought of the woman he had been thinking about.

"After I married her, she barged at me every day and never gave me a straight face. Although I returned to Xianyang, I lived worse than a dog." He laughed sadly, "I could endure all this, until later, I realized that I was wrong."

"On the day of my wedding, that woman had someone bring Lu'er to hide in the dark and witness the whole process!" His voice became gnashing, as if he wanted to tear off every piece of flesh and blood from her body. "She asked me to laugh more happily, and she asked me to be more intimate with her. All of this was done on purpose!"

"She is a vicious woman! I have never seen a more vicious woman than her! From that day on, Lu'er fell ill and could not get up. Even though I secretly invited the best doctor to treat her, she still passed away a few months later."

He cried and felt remorseful. "In her room, I found her last letter, which said, 'In this life, I will not marry anyone but you. Now that you are married, I will bury my bones in the underworld. I only hope that we can meet in the next life and be together forever!'"

Two lines of blood and tears slid down his cheeks. "I was wrong, so wrong!" He covered his cheeks with both hands, looking desperate and helpless. "If I had known this would happen, why would I have married that vicious woman?"

"We should live and die together!"

"After Lu'er died, I had no desire to live anymore. I killed this vicious woman." A trace of relief appeared in his eyes. "We can't live together, but we can be buried together in death."

"Why didn't you resist?" Li Si asked the key question.

"Her father is the Xianyang magistrate!" Teng Kan smiled bitterly. "Why didn't I resist? I tried every idea and contacted every person, but who would be willing to offend the powerful Xianyang magistrate for a nobody?"

When the fire charm technique was halfway performed, Su Xuan stopped the technique, and the following words were actually said voluntarily by Teng Kan.

Perhaps he is also lonely and wants to find someone who is willing to listen to him.

"The Xianyang Order has arrived!" As soon as the Xianyang Order was spoken, it arrived.

This was a middle-aged man with a beard, who looked somewhat similar to Zhao Gao. He was Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le.

He came over arrogantly and angrily. Su Xuan glanced at him indifferently and ordered the bailiffs of Yanwei Mansion to arrest him.

"My Lord Prime Minister, what do you mean?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a stern aura. It was obvious that he possessed impressive martial arts skills. The guards around him stopped the bailiffs on their own without his orders and confronted Su Xuan.

"You are guilty!" Su Xuan looked at him expressionlessly and reminded him, "If you resist, your crime will be even more serious!"

"I wonder what crime I have committed?" Yan Le asked with a gloomy face.

"If I say you are guilty, then you are guilty!" Su Xuan blew a whistle, and the six sword slaves who had been secretly protecting him appeared in the blink of an eye.

"Take it!"

As the words fell, six long swords were placed on Yan Le's neck.

He turned his gaze towards Teng Kan and said word by word, "Now, I will make the decision for you!"
