Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

The town was not big, and after walking for a while, they arrived at the inn.

Hei Niu asked, "Master Shen, the master has already asked the store to prepare the food. Do you want to eat it now, or wait a little longer?"

Shen Nankui said: "Mr. Cai hasn't come back yet, I'll wait for him."

"Well, if you have any instructions, just call me."

After Hei Niu left, He Hua couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Cai was so considerate along the way and took care of everything."

She didn't know how to choose.

The young man loves the girl deeply and endures and plans all to protect his girl and her unborn baby. Mr. Cai is considerate and takes good care of his girl, which is also not bad.

Hehua just felt that no matter which one of them, he would be a perfect match for his daughter.

However, my daughter is pregnant with the young master's child, and I wonder if Mr. Cai would mind...

Half an hour later, Cai Ling came back.

Facing Shen Nankui's expectant eyes, he said in a deep voice: "I have found out clearly, and there is indeed a problem."

Shen Nankui was not in a hurry. She smiled and said, "No hurry. It's getting late. Mr. Cai has been running around for so long. It's time to take a break. Why don't we have dinner first?"

Cai Ling nodded with a smile, "Okay."

After they finished their meal, they got back to business.

Cai Ling said: "I suspected that it was Tao Xin who did this, so as soon as I arrived at Yunxi Ancient Town, I went straight to him."

He snorted coldly, "This Tao Xin is really shameless. Not only did he occupy the workshop, he also moved into the house of the Tao mother and daughter. He told others that it was Miss Tao who owed his father a life, so he used these things to repay it."

"brazen!"

Shen Nankui couldn't help but curse, and then asked: "So, you have already met him?"

"That's not the case," Cai Ling shook his head. "We came here to look for clues in order to find evidence and ask the government to re-examine the case. Naturally, I wouldn't alarm him first. I knew he was living in Miss Tao's house now, so I went to ask around the Tao's old house. Unexpectedly, I found some clues."

"What?" Shen Nankui looked solemn.

Cai Ling took a sip of tea and then continued, "Tao Xin's father died two days after returning home, so what happened during the period from when he was injured by Miss Tao to when he died is particularly important."

"I asked the neighbors near the Tao family's old house. They said that on the first day, they could see Tao Xin's father walking around like a normal person. On the second day, they heard that he was bedridden and unable to go out. That night, they vaguely heard screams coming from the Tao family. Sure enough, the next morning, before Tao Xin could invite the doctor home, he was gone."

"Screams?"

Shen Nankui frowned, "If he screamed because of the pain in his wound, why didn't it hurt on the first day, but it hurt again on the second day? It's really weird."

Cai Ling nodded, "That's right, especially the cause of death from organ rupture. I asked the doctor, the injury is in the internal organs, although it can't be seen from the outside, but the patient himself will definitely not be unaware of it. But since Tao Xin's father was only injured by Miss Tao, there is no other reason except this. It can only be attributed to Miss Tao's kick that injured Tao Xin's father, but it didn't show up immediately, so it suddenly broke out the next day and caused him to die."

Shen Nankui sneered, "If it weren't for the suspicion on Tao Xin, this matter would really be perfect."

After all, who would suspect a son of killing his own father for no reason?

I’m afraid no one would believe it if I told them.

She suddenly frowned again, "Mr. Cai, we suspect Tao Xin, so we can naturally figure out the tricks, but how can we convince the people in the government? After all, they should have questioned him about these things long ago, and they don't think there are any doubts."

"If there is no doubt about one thing, what if several things are connected together?"

"how do I say this?"

Cai Ling took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, placed it on the table and pushed it towards her.

"Tao Xin is also a gambler. Before his father died, he and his son owed the gambling house a total of 300 taels of silver. The gambling house has asked them for the money several times, but they have never been able to pay it back. For this, Tao Xin even had two fingers cut off by the gambling house's thugs. And as soon as his father died, the debt was paid. Tell me, where else can the money come from?"

Shen Nankui's eyes turned cold, "Of course I took it from the mother and daughter of the Tao family."

"That's right. This shows that in addition to Tao Xin's father, Tao Xin also had enough motive to attack the mother and daughter of the Tao family. Moreover, his father failed to accomplish his plan, which angered Miss Tao and made her beat him up. Tao Xin could just use this to put the blame on Miss Tao. This stub of the gambling house IOU is the proof."

Shen Nankui took the stub and looked at it again and again, and asked in surprise: "Such an important thing, how could the people in the gambling house give it to you so easily?"

Cai Ling smiled faintly, "It's just using some tricks from the underworld."

"As expected of Mr. Cai!"

Shen Nankui praised him and said with a slow smile, "This way, the government will have a reason to trace the case back to Tao Xin."

"not only that."

When she praised him, Cai Ling's face showed a hint of pride, and there was also a hint of arrogance in his expression.

"I went to see the doctor who treated Tao Xin's father. In order to stop gossip, Tao Xin left his father one last chance to see the doctor. After the doctor diagnosed him and told him that he was hopeless, he was about to leave the Tao family. Before he left, he heard Tao Xin's father scolding him for being an unfilial son and telling him to stop. At that time, the doctor just thought that Tao Xin's father was dissatisfied with his son for not asking Tao's mother and daughter for an explanation, or that he was warning him to stop gambling, so he didn't think much about it. Now it seems that these words before his death may have a profound meaning..."

Shen Nankui was silent for a moment before saying, "This kind of person doesn't deserve sympathy. However, if he had known that he would end up like this today, would he regret what he did?"

Being murdered by his own son, I wonder what kind of state of mind he was in at that time?

But if he hadn't become addicted to gambling, how could Tao Xin have followed suit? The originally wealthy family fortune was squandered by the father and son.

If he hadn't put pressure on the mother and daughter of the Tao family and released malicious intent, how could Tao Xin have directed this malicious intent on his own father?

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. It was his retribution that he ended up like this.
