Fu Mingrui looked at Duanmu Qingchen with distaste, and got on the horse: "I'm going to handle the case today, so I don't have time to accompany you." Fu Mingrui pulled the rope of the horse, and said in a perfunctory tone.

If Fu Mingrui knew that Duanmu Qingchen would be so clingy, he would never have entered the palace with his father to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The "bad fate" between him and him began at that imperial banquet.

Duanmu Qingchen rode his horse close to Fu Mingrui's horse, stretched out his foot and kicked him: "I'll go with you! What case?"

Fu Mingrui already had a headache, but Duanmu Qingchen was the crown prince, and he couldn't go too far, so he could only answer: "I have new clues about the hanging case in the secret room that I told you about earlier, so I'm going to investigate now."

"That case! Okay! Take me with you! You didn't tell me how you solved it last time, so you must tell me well this time!" Duanmu Qingchen became even more excited.

Fu Mingrui turned to look at him seriously: "The case is serious, so I can't take you with me." Fu Mingrui's black eyes were already filled with anger.

Duanmu Qingchen looked at him for a while, his peach eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up badly: "Okay~~Then I won't bother you to handle the case~~I'll go and play with Youyo!" As he said, he was about to turn around horse head.

Fu Mingrui leaned forward anxiously, and grabbed Duanmu Qingchen's hand pulling the horse rope.

Duanmu Qingchen looked at Fu Mingrui's hand holding his own, and smiled wickedly: "Yo, Master Fu, I didn't expect you to really like me~~"

Fu Mingrui immediately withdrew his hand, frowned angrily: "Okay, you follow me to investigate the case!" Fu Mingrui flicked the reins angrily, and ran ahead.

Duanmu Qingchen smiled triumphantly from behind and followed immediately.

Guangyuan Town is outside the eastern suburbs of the capital. The urban area of ​​the capital is very large, with a radius of a hundred miles, so Guangyuan Town is also a hundred miles away from the capital. It was already noon when Fu Mingrui arrived.

Duanmu Qingchen followed closely behind Fu Mingrui, feeling a little hungry. But Fu Mingrui still didn't see any intention of stopping to eat.

When Fu Mingrui checked the files, he had already memorized Yu Pingting's home address in his heart. He handles cases in the capital all year round, and the map of the capital has long been imprinted in his heart, so he doesn't need to ask anyone when he walks through the streets.

Duanmu Qingchen followed him all the time, not knowing where Fu Mingrui was going. While he was wondering, he saw Fu Mingrui parked in front of the Yu family mansion.

Next to the Yu family's mansion is the Kaiming Academy opened by Yu Hezhang. Reading is for enlightenment and enlightenment. The word "enlightenment" is Yu Hezhang's good wish for every student who enters the academy.

Fu Mingrui dismounted and tied the horse to an old banyan tree beside him. Duanmu Qingchen followed immediately.

Fu Mingrui was about to knock on the door, but saw the door opened, and a doctor came out in a hurry, followed by Yu Hezhang with a tired and old face.

In the past three years, Yu Hezhang has also aged extremely fast. He is only middle-aged, but he is already senile, described as emaciated, with gray hair and beard.

The old doctor walked very fast, and waved his hands again and again: "Dean He, this old man is really at the end of his rope, please ask for another expert." The old doctor repeatedly apologized and bowed his hands.

"Doctor Yao! Please take a look again! This girl is in so much pain that she can't sleep, please show mercy!" The old-looking Yu Hezhang grabbed the old doctor and begged bitterly.

The old doctor was also quite helpless, and sighed again and again: "Dean He, if I have the ability, why don't I want to cure that poor child? But... tsk, I really can't see what's wrong, old man Really! Hey!"

Yu Hezhang saw that the old doctor was really helpless, he was exhausted, he could only let go of the pain, and saluted the old doctor: "Thank you, Doctor Yao."

"Hey, ashamed, ashamed..." The old doctor covered his face and left.

Fu Mingrui looked at the old doctor who left in a hurry, it was someone from the Yu family who was seriously ill. During the conversation between the two, Ya'er was mentioned. This girl is Yu Pingting's eldest daughter, and also the only surviving child when Yu Pingting committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. The first name is Bai Yuqi, and the younger name is Ya'er.

During the trial of Bai Zhankui's murder of his father and mother, the villagers of Baijia Village mentioned Ya'er in their confession, saying that after Yu Pingting committed suicide, Ya'er was taken back to Yu's house by Yu Hezhang and his wife, and her surname was changed to Yu since then. Because Ya'er is suffering from a strange disease and cries day and night without sleep, the Bai family thinks that Ya'er may find a better doctor to treat her if she goes to the town with her grandfather.

But to Fu Mingrui's surprise, not long after Ya'er was brought back, Bai Zhankui's family also moved into the Yu family's old house in Guangyuan Town. Since the whole Bai family will move into Guangyuan Town, why not take care of Ya'er by themselves and hand over Ya'er to Yu Pingting's parents?

At that time, because the main investigation was the case of Bai Zhankui's murder of his father and mother, Fu Mingrui focused all his attention on solving the mystery of hanging himself in the secret room, but there was little deliberation on these details about Yu Pingting. Now that the murderer in Fu Mingrui's heart is identified as Yu Pingting, Fang Jue's many confessions about the Bai family are full of doubts.

Fu Mingrui hurried forward and saw Yu Hezhang standing in the door with a slumped face, his old face did not look like an old man in his early forties, but more like an old man in his sixties.

It is said that time makes people grow old, but it is a natural law to grow old with time. This pain really makes people grow old.

"Is it Dean Yu?" Fu Mingrui entered the door and saluted.

Yu Hezhang raised his head lately, the suffering of these years made his reaction slower and slower. He looked at Fu Mingrui for a while, only then did he realize that he was wearing the official uniform of Eight Doors. And the embroidered pattern on his sleeves and the gems inlaid on his belt all prove that his official rank is not low.

Yu Hezhang is the dean of the academy, so he naturally knows the official rank and uniform.

He was stunned: "Are you... the master of the eight doors?"

Fu Mingrui nodded calmly: "It is I, I came here this time to ask about your daughter Yu Pingting's life."

When he heard his daughter's name, He Zhizhang immediately became excited: "Everyone is dead! What are you asking?! Why! You still want to say that my daughter killed the whole Bai family! Get out! Get out!" He Zhizhang was furious. When he saw the broom by the door, he grabbed it and waved it at Fu Mingrui, "Get out! Get out—"

After the death of Bai Zhankui's family, there was a lot of discussion in Guangyuan Town, saying that it was Yu Pingting's evil ghost collecting debts. Her daughter had a miserable life, and she would continue to be abused and stigmatized after her death. No one could bear it when it was her turn.

There are even vicious people who say that Ya'er's illness is due to her mother doing too many evils, and she deserves it, and it is Yu Pingting's retribution for her sins, which was repaid on Ya'er.

The girl is only three years old, what is the crime? It is extremely pitiful to suffer from illness day and night, and to be criticized by those vicious people every day, the old Yu and his wife are really exhausted, suffering and grief.

Fu Mingrui was forced out of the door by Yu Hezhang's broom. The other party was an elder, so he, Fu Mingrui, couldn't fight back.

Duanmu Qingchen shook his head repeatedly as he watched from the side, and couldn't help but think of Fu Mingrui's previous visit to Saixian Pavilion, but he couldn't even get in, and was even teased by Lian Youyou.

Duanmu Qingchen stepped forward calmly, and when Yu Hezhang was about to close the door, he said, "I know the imperial doctor!"

In a word, the door was opened wide immediately, and Yu Hezhang's face full of expectation and excitement appeared.
