Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy
Chapter 74 Xue Zhong's Hair Turns White Overnight
At this time, the doorman came to report: "Master, the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Su sent someone to tell me that a body was found in the well in the back street."
Xue Zhong and his son were startled and asked hurriedly, "Has the body been recovered?"
“We are still salvaging.”
Xue Zhong hurriedly got out of bed, but because he was weak, he fell off the bed.
Xue Fan quickly supported him and asked with concern, "Dad, how are you?"
"It's okay, let's go and take a look."
As they stumbled out the door, he muttered to himself, "It must not be Haoyu. Absolutely not. The Xue family ancestors must protect my son Haoyu."
"Dad, don't worry! It's definitely not Haoyu."
While Xue Zhong was comforting his eldest son, he was also comforting himself, "No, it must not be Haoyu. He must be playing somewhere and will be back home soon."
The area was already crowded with people, and the father and son walked over quickly. Lord Su was directing the yamen runners to salvage the body.
Xue Zhong squeezed forward and asked anxiously, "Master Su, has the person been salvaged?"
"Master Xue, people have already gone down the well to retrieve the body, and it will be brought up soon."
"Who discovered it first?"
"It's the people living nearby. They were drawing water when they suddenly found hair in it. The more they drew, the more hair they found, so they reported it to the police. We also received a report from your eldest son, so please come over."
"Was it murder?"
"It is not clear at this time whether the deceased was murdered and thrown into the well, or whether he fell in accidentally."
Xue Zhong's face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he prayed silently in his heart that it wasn't his youngest son.
At this moment, the bailiff finally fished the body out.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but gasp. They saw that the corpse's stomach was badly swollen and the face was swollen from blisters, but they could still recognize the original appearance of the corpse.
The first time Xue Zhong saw the corpse, he knew it was his son. He and his son stumbled over and fell beside the corpse. They looked at the dead Xue Haoyu in shock and burst into tears.
His voice was trembling as he cried and said, "Haoyu...Haoyu...Open your eyes and look at daddy! Daddy won't beat you or scold you from now on. As long as you open your eyes and look at daddy, daddy will let you do whatever you want in the future."
He held his son's body tightly in his arms, as if trying to bring his life back to him.
Xue Fan also burst into tears when he looked at his brother's body. Although he did not cry as heartbreakingly as Xue Zhong, he was also heartbroken.
Although Xue Haoyu didn't do any serious work in the past, he was still his beloved younger brother. How could he accept that something happened to him suddenly?
They say that men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet.
The crying of the father and son made everyone present shed tears silently. It is the saddest thing for an old person to send off a young one.
Lord Su came over to comfort him, "Lord Xue, your popularity cannot be revived, please accept my condolences."
Seeing that the father and son were still holding the body, he said, "Master Xue, the coroner is here to perform an autopsy and give justice to the deceased. Please move aside."
Xue Fan helped the extremely sad Xue Zhong to the side.
After the coroner examined the injuries, he said, "Sir, the deceased died about four or five days ago. There are marks on his neck. He must have been strangled and suffocated to death, and then his body was thrown into the well."
When the people heard this, they cursed the murderer, saying how could he throw the body into the well after killing someone? How could they drink the well water? He was so heartless and inhumane.
Those who drank the well water vomited uncontrollably at home. They cursed the murderer's ancestors for eighteen generations, but still felt unsatisfied. They wished they could chop him into pieces with a knife.
Suddenly, Xue Zhong went crazy, pointing his finger at the crowd and yelling, "Who did this? Who killed my son? I'm going to kill him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited blood and fainted again.
Xue Fan shouted: "Dad... Dad... Butler, come quickly..."
They sent Xue Zhong back home. When Mrs. Xue learned that her youngest son had died and his body had been thrown into a well, she burst into tears and fainted.
Daughter-in-law Ding was taking care of her mother-in-law, Xue Fan was taking care of his father Xue Zhong, and he also sent someone to the palace to report to Concubine Shu that her brother had been murdered, and asked the emperor to order an investigation so that the progress of the matter would be faster.
After the doctor examined Xue Zhong and his wife and confirmed that they were fine, Xue Fan went to the government office to learn about the progress of the case.
Lord Su told him that there were currently limited clues and it would take time to investigate.
Jiang Zongwei couldn't sleep for nights after he killed Xue Haoyu. Whenever he closed his eyes, the image of his death would appear in his mind. He didn't dare to show it in front of anyone, let alone tell anyone about it.
Royal Palace
When Concubine Shu learned that her brother had been murdered, she hurried to the emperor's side, crying so hard that the emperor felt heartbroken.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me!"
"My dear, who bullied you? Why are you crying so sadly?"
"Your Majesty, my younger brother Haoyu was murdered and his body was thrown into a well."
"When did this happen?"
"The body was pulled out of the well just an hour ago. My parents have fainted from crying several times and are now sick."
"Chen Fu..."
"The old slave is here."
"Send the Dali Temple Minister Song Yu to see me?"
"According to the order."
"Shufei, when you return, I will come to see you after I finish my state affairs."
"Chen and concubine retire."
The emperor waited for Concubine Shu to leave, then looked into the distance in deep thought. No one knew what was in his deep eyes.
Song Yu came over with a firm step, knelt down and said: "Your humble servant pays respect to the emperor."
"I order you and Su Jinnian to thoroughly investigate the murder of Xue Haoyu and give me an answer as soon as possible."
"The minister obeys the order."
Soon the entire harem knew that Concubine Shu's brother had died, and several concubines viewed the matter with gloating attitude.
The Empress and Concubine He were even more jealous of Concubine Shu because she was favored by the Emperor and had given birth to the Fourth Prince for him. They were afraid that when the Fourth Prince grew up, he would be a strong rival to their sons, and they wished that something would happen to the entire Xue family.
The streets and alleys of the capital are full of rumors about who killed the young master of the Minister of Revenue's mansion. Is it revenge or is there another reason?
Miss Dieyi, the top performer in "Yuanyang Pavilion", was terrified when she learned that Xue Haoyu had died. She was worried that she would be retaliated by Lord Xue, after all, she had left her room that night.
After waking up, Madam Xue gnashed her teeth and said, "Mammy, send someone to get the top performer at the Yuanyang Pavilion to accompany Haoyu. If Haoyu hadn't stayed in her room, he wouldn't have been killed."
"My son is gone, she can't even think about living a carefree life."
"Madam, the young master's case is under thorough investigation by Lord Song of the Dali Temple and Lord Su of Jingzhao Prefecture. They will definitely inform Miss Dieyi. If Miss Dieyi dies at this time, they will definitely pursue us relentlessly. If they find out that we did it, even if we were right at the beginning, we will become unreasonable and will have to accept punishment."
"Mammy, am I going to watch Haoyu go down there alone? What if he gets bullied by other ghosts?"
"Madam, we can prepare some more paper money to burn for the young master, so that he can use the money to bribe the evil spirits."
"Hurry, hurry, go prepare some more paper money to burn for him. I hope he can live as he pleases in the underworld and not be bullied by any ghosts."
"I'll go now."
The next day, Xue Fan looked at his father's hair which had turned white overnight, and felt so distressed that he turned his back and wiped away his tears secretly.
His father had suffered a great blow because of the theft in the warehouse, and now because of his brother's murder, he was even more sad and his health was not as good as before.
Xue Zhong woke up and saw his son crying, "Fan'er, now is not the time to cry. Send someone to investigate your brother's murder."
"Dad, I've already sent people to investigate. The emperor has ordered the Dali Temple Minister and Lord Su to thoroughly investigate the case. I believe we'll find the murderer soon and avenge Haoyu."
"You must recover quickly and see your enemies brought to justice."
"Dad will. But when I get old, the Xue family will depend on you."
"Dad, I can't do this. I really can't. I don't have the ability to support the entire Xue family. So you must take care of yourself and lead our family out of this grief."
Xue Zhong sighed deeply. Neither of his two sons was capable. Now his youngest son was suddenly killed. He hoped that his eldest son could support the family, otherwise what would happen to the Xue family in the future.
Suddenly I saw that his hair had turned completely white. He clutched his white hair tightly, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
There was a flash of despair and helplessness in his eyes. He knew that his physical condition was getting worse and worse, and the future of the Xue family was full of confusion, which made him anxious.
"White, completely white. I can't deny my age."
"Dad, you're just too impatient. Once your body recovers after a while, your hair will turn black."
"Fan'er, your excuse is too far-fetched. Just let it go! Only if you're alive will you have the chance to see the murderer brought to justice."
"Dad, you are absolutely right."
He held Xue Fan's hand tightly, as if to convey all his expectations to him.
"Fan'er, you must become stronger, just in case Daddy..."
"Dad, I hope you will live a long life and lead our Xue family to the top."
Xue Fan felt a surge of pain and helplessness in his heart. He understood his father's expectations, but he knew that his abilities were limited and he might disappoint his father.
But in order to make his father get better as soon as possible, he said firmly: "Dad, I will try my best. I will do my best to protect the Xue family and find the murderer who killed my brother."
Xue Zhong looked at his son's determined eyes and felt a little relieved. The Xue family's future might be bumpy, but as long as they had faith, there was always a glimmer of hope.
In the following days, Xue Fan devoted himself to investigating and monitoring Jiang Zongwei.
