Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

"Cao Hui's death may also be related to this matter."

"Fan Chengsong must have had a reason for poisoning Cao Hui!"

"Cao Hui is definitely not the only one involved in the trafficking of decent girls. He may not even be the mastermind."

She only remembered that County Magistrate Cao was involved in the conspiracy, which meant that County Magistrate Cao was not the mastermind, but someone else, perhaps in Qianyang City.

Qin Beihuang had the case file in his hand back then, but he was unwilling to show it to her.

As a woman, she only needs to take care of the family.

Therefore, she did not know the details of the Qianyang City trafficking case at that time.

The two talked all night long, and when the candle burned out, daybreak also came.

The cold gets heavier in winter. When you open the window in the morning, it is foggy and bitingly cold.

She thought that the government officials would ask her to come today to inquire about Cao Hui's death, but she waited for a long time without any result.

Soon Chen Yuzhu entered the room.

"General, there were people nearby watching us all night last night, but the strange thing is that they all withdrew just now."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan frowned in confusion.

You don't plan to come find her?

But she still wants to investigate further.

After lunch, Jiang Ningwan took a few people and went to the government office.

If she is not invited, she will go on her own.

When he arrived at the county government office, he ran into Wang Jin, whose eyes lit up, "General Jiang."

"Is County Magistrate Cao here?" As she said this, she walked towards the county government office.

Wang Jin quickly stopped her, "Cao Hui is dead. County Magistrate Cao is at home taking care of the funeral and didn't come to the county government office today."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan nodded thoughtfully, "Has Fan Chengsong been interrogated? Did they get anything out of him?"

Hearing this, Wang Jin looked embarrassed and was unable to answer for a long time.

"not yet……"

Jiang Ningwan felt strange, "No?"

"He confessed?"

Wang Jin shook his head, "No."

Seeing his strange expression, Jiang Ningwan knew that this matter was not simple.

"Isn't it that the trial hasn't started yet?"

"His own son died, and County Magistrate Cao wasn't even anxious to interrogate and convict the murderer?"

No wonder no one was sent to invite her to the government office to inquire about the situation. It turned out that they were not in a hurry to investigate the matter at all.

"I have no right to interfere in County Magistrate Cao's affairs." Wang Jin's tone was somewhat helpless.

Jiang Ningwan asked again: "Can I meet Fan Chengsong?"

"After all, I played a role in solving this case, so I should ask Fan Chengsong a few questions, right?"

But Wang Jin refused without a moment's hesitation.

"no!"

"You may be General Lingwei, but you do not have the authority to review murder cases and interrogate criminals unless you have official documents from above."

"So… I'm sorry."

After that, Wang Jin quickly said, "I wonder what medicinal herbs General Jiang is looking for in Qianyang City. I can help him find out."

Seeing that he just wanted to change the subject, Jiang Ningwan stopped pursuing him. Asking further would not yield any results.

"No need, I'll find it myself."

"Express my condolences to Magistrate Cao for me."

Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, "Okay."

After Jiang Ningwan left, the group came to a secluded alley.

"There's something strange about this county government office. Xiao Fuxue and Xiao Lidong, go check around County Magistrate Cao's house. Be careful not to get targeted."

Jiang Ningwan took Yan Huixue to Fan's house.

Fan Chengsong killed someone, so the Fan family should have taken action as well.

Yan Huixue led the way skillfully, and soon they arrived not far from the gate of the Fan family. They just happened to see two carriages leaving the Fan family.

The two of them followed quietly.

The carriage went out of the city, and Jiang Ningwan followed it out of the city.

Soon after leaving the city, we found that there were many carriages on this road. They were all carriages of wealthy families, and they were all going in the same direction.

Dozens of carriages stopped in front of a huge garden with a plaque that read: Qingshanju.

Looking at the people getting off the carriage, Yan Huixue said, "These are all members of the Fan family. They are among the richest businessmen in Qianyang City."

"There's the Fan family's ancestral hall in Qingshanju. They come here on the first and fifteenth day of every month to worship and discuss important matters within the clan."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but frown, "Today is neither the first nor the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Could it be that they're gathering here for Fan Chengsong's matter?"

Yan Huixue nodded thoughtfully, "That should be the case."

However, just as he finished speaking, a figure jumped down from the carriage in front of him, leaving the two of them stunned.

Fan Chengsong!

He is not in prison!

Fan Chengsong jumped off the carriage and walked into Qingshanju with ease.

One after another, dozens of people entered Qingshanju.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Ningwan and Yan Huixue sneaked in.

No wonder Wang Jin was hesitant and didn't let her go to see Fan Chengsong. It turned out that Fan Chengsong was not in prison at all.

Qingshanjuli is very big.

After crossing the courtyard, you will see the ancestral hall.

After everyone entered the ancestral hall, they looked around cautiously and then closed the door.

"Is the store still closed for worship?"

Jiang Ningwan approached quietly.

Just as he arrived outside the gate of the ancestral hall, a dart suddenly shot out from the darkness. Jiang Ningwan jumped sideways and barely avoided it.

But the noise had already alarmed the people in the ancestral hall.

The door opened and everyone came out.

"Who dares to break into the Fan family's ancestral hall!" The head of the Fan family spoke with a fierce and powerful voice.

When Fan Chengsong saw her, he was immediately surprised and said, "She is the General Ling Wei from last night!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically.

The eyes of dozens of people looking at Jiang Ningwan became extremely fierce, as if they wanted to eat her, which made people's hair stand on end and their backs chilled.

Jiang Ningwan stood with his hands behind his back, "Looks like there's no need for introductions."

Her eyes fell on Fan Chengsong who was hiding behind the head of the Fan family.

"My purpose for coming here is very simple. Fan Chengsong is the murderer of Cao Hui. Why isn't he in jail?"

"How did your Fan family get that person out?"

It seems that the one who has the omnipotence in Qianyang City is not the Cao family, but the Fan family.

Compared to the others who were on edge, the head of the Fan family put on a kind expression.

He laughed and said, "So that's the misunderstanding."

"Cao Hui's case has not yet been concluded, and Cheng Song is not on death row. Therefore, I have petitioned Magistrate Cao to have him come to the ancestral hall to kowtow and admit his fault to the ancestors."

"After the worship is over, he will be sent back to the prison."

"Our Fan family is upright and honest, and nothing like this has ever happened to us. If he is truly a murderer, then we should just pretend he never happened! The authorities will deal with him impartially!"

Seeing how easily Patriarch Fan spoke, Jiang Ningwan became even more unconvinced.

"You brought him out of jail just to come here and worship your ancestors and kowtow and admit your mistakes?"

Patriarch Fan smiled and said, "General Jiang is not from here, so he probably doesn't know our customs."

"Our Fan family's success is inseparable from the blessings of our ancestors. We must report all matters, big or small, to our ancestors."

"Even if the sky falls, we must protect the ancestral hall first."

"County Magistrate Cao also knew about this, and he allowed me to take Cheng Song away for my sake."

"The entire Fan family is in Qianyang City. Can I still run away with Cheng Song? The monk can run away, but the temple cannot! Hahahaha..."
