C8 He family

After exiting the coroner's house, Su Mu slowly connected the scenes and clues of the past few days in his mind and decided to search for the next clue.

"brother Su, where are we going?" Bao Fusheng followed behind Su Mu and asked curiously.

Su Mu stopped and turned around to explain, "Let's go to He Family." Where did the doll come from? The most likely outcome was still the young miss of He Family.

"He Family? Which He Family? " Bao Fusheng was even more confused.

He Family was actually what the coroner had said, the fiancee that had been betrothed to a child ever since Zhu Chusheng was a child. After all, Su Mu had stayed in the Wu City for nearly three months.

Amongst them, the most frequently described was the He Family of this heartless and unfaithful couple.

It was rumored that He Family and Zhu Family were originally great families with illustrious Wu City, and the Old Masters of the two families were good friends who had once lived through their lives.

Thus, at that time, they had promised to marry a child. Unfortunately, at that time, both of their grandfathers had given birth to sons, so they had postponed the marriage to their grandsons.

Unfortunately, because of the Zhu Family's poor management, the Zhu Family business had fallen, and He Family's face had fallen. They said that Zhu Family wanted to take out the land and property as collateral, and so they were willing to marry their daughter.

At that time, her mother hadn't passed away yet, and since she was born into a big family, she had an air of nobility and pride, and completely ignored the unreasonable demands of He Family. She even said that she would rather her son be alone for his entire life than allow him to use his family property to exchange for a He Family girl.

Thus, the two families came to an agreement, and this was one of the few popular discord in the reclusive Zhu Old Madame.

In actuality, when Madam Zhu was killed, the common folk all said in private that Old Master He felt that she had been humiliated by a woman and hated her for it. That was why she hired a killer from the Jianghu to kill Old Madame Zhu. However, this was only a rumor among the people, and it was hard to tell if it was true or false.

But with the coroner's reminder, Su Mu suddenly thought of this thread and felt that he should go check on the He Family.

After hearing Su Mu say that they would go to He Family, although Bao Fusheng did not stay there for long, he knew that it was not a good idea. He suggested, "If the two of us go, then He Family might not help us.

"Brother Lin's words are reasonable." Maybe because he wanted to solve the problem, Su Mu did not care about this level and only realised after listening to Bao Fusheng's advice.

Thus, the two of them turned around and ran to the yamen.

Lin Yi and Wang He were sitting facing each other without speaking. Upon hearing that they were going to the He Family, Wang He quickly stood up, "I'll go."

He really didn't feel at ease in letting Su Mu, who was helpless, take the risk time and again.

The Lin Yi who had not spoken yet leisurely waved the fan in his hand, and said to Bao Fusheng: "You can't?"

Receiving the ridicule from Lin Yi, Bao Fusheng gnashed his teeth once more.

In the end, the four of them left for He Family with four pretentious Yamen behind them.

Wang He intentionally pulled Su Mu behind him and whispered to him, "This Sir Lin should be the current crown prince."

Even Su Mu, who had prepared his identity beforehand, was startled when he heard this. The crown prince?

Afraid that Su Mu couldn't believe it and couldn't help but make a mistake, Wang He indicated for Su Mu to look at Lin Yi who was walking in front.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, which had a well-established etiquette system, there was no one other than the crown prince of the emperor or those who felt that their lives were too long, who would dare to bring such a legendary jade pendant.

In addition, with the extraordinary bearing that Lin Yi had, it looked like he was undoubtedly the crown prince.

The group arrived at the front door of the He Palace. First, there were officers and soldiers who knocked on the He Family door, and then, Bao Fusheng came to negotiate. The four of them entered the He Family successively, and the other officers and soldiers held hands at the door.

"Old Master He, we came here today to learn about the Zhu Family murder case. Are you aware of it?" Bao Fusheng asked respectfully.

Old Master He, who had a tired look on his face, stood in front of the door of his house. Looking at the leader of the group of young masters, he knew that they had some background, he respectfully invited them in and forced himself to chat with the four of them.

"Reporting to Lord, this commoner's house is only a business, ever since Master Zhu Family passed away, our two families no longer have any relationship with each other anymore." Old Master He cleared his throat.

Su Mu, who was seated at the end of the table, spoke up, "It seems that the words of an outsider about He Family that is cold and ruthless are not empty words. So Old Master He actually said that they have no relationship with the closest family."

"What family, don't talk nonsense." Old Master He was suddenly like a cat whose tail had been stepped on as he shouted excitedly at Su Mu.

Then, he felt the situation had gone awry, and said gloomily, "Please forgive me, Sir. This humble one has made a slip of the tongue."

Through his words, Su Mu could tell that this Old Master He was not the heartless and merciless person that the commoners spoke of. Thus, he comforted them gently, "It's fine, as long as you explain to us clearly what happened between you and the Zhu Family."

After hearing Su Mu's words, the Old Master He began to narrate the grudges between the two families. It was rumored that the biggest source of grudges was the matter of claiming the Zhu Family land deed.

So it turned out that Old Master He was afraid that his only daughter would suffer grievances when she married into the Zhu Family, so he proposed to press the housing deed into the He Family, and let her lend her daughter's dowry to Zhu Chusheng to practice her family business for the time being, in order to revitalize her Zhu Family. However, Madam Zhu misunderstood him and thought that he was delusional enough to think that He Family could take away what little wealth there was left in the Zhu Family.

Therefore, the two parties had different opinions, so they gave up on the marriage.

When Lin Yi heard this, he cast his gaze towards Su Mu, who was deep in thought.

"Since that's the case, we've already asked all the questions we need. Then, we will take our leave." Bao Fusheng cupped his hands and said to the Old Master He.

Just as everyone was about to stand up, a servant girl from He Family rushed to the front of the hall in a hurry and knelt down crying, "It's not good, old master, young miss, she's …"

For a moment, the entire He Family was in chaos, the Old Master He did not have the time to bother with Lin Yi and the rest, he could only order the servant to send them out of the residence first.

On their way back to Yamen, Su Mu suddenly said to Lin Dong and Bao Qin, who were still walking in front of them, "Brother Bao, can you accompany me back to the He manor? I seemed to have forgotten something important."

If she didn't want to arouse suspicion that Lin Yi was unable to handle the case and had to leave, Su Mu wanted to call Bao Fusheng to visit the He manor together with her.

"They might not open the door for us anymore if we return to the He manor now." After all, the He Family had probably become a pot of porridge, and Bao Fusheng's worries were not baseless.

Su Mu shook his head, "I won't be entering the He Family. I'll be doing it at the door."

"But …" Bao Fusheng was still doubtful.

But it was interrupted by Lin Yi's cold voice, "You can go with him."
