After finally tearing off the mask of gentleness that had covered his face for so long, the Prince of Huaishan County seemed to be relieved.

Wearing a mask for a long time will eventually make you a little breathless, and suddenly taking it off will make you feel relaxed.

“Back then, when I found out that the team had witnessed the conversation between the two parties, my mother asked the Japanese to deal with them.” King Huaishan County said, “Because it was too hasty, I didn’t have time to check whether the people were dead or not.”

Of course, she also made sure they were stabbed many times. Ordinary people would have died long ago. Even if they were rescued, they would not be able to survive.

But what they didn’t expect was that Hu Chengzu and Ma Sanci were not only alive but also survived and even returned to Chang’an City.

“After you left Salt Lake City, you returned to Chang’an, and then went back to Salt Lake City, and finally got the Wanmin Umbrella,” Zhao Mengzhuo couldn’t help but say, “At that time, I am afraid that you didn’t want to save the people of Salt Lake City at all, but to go back to deal with the aftermath. To make sure the truth remains buried!”

Prince Huaishan nodded and admitted frankly: “Hu Chengzu and Ma Sanci had been sent back to Chang’an at that time. We didn’t see them, so we thought the trouble was completely solved.”

All the truth was completely revealed. Cover it up, no one will know what the Huaishan County Prince’s Palace has done.

“My family is also very guilty about what happened back then, so we have been giving porridge to save people for so many years…”

Originally unaware of the truth, observing Prince Huai Shan’s family only felt like they were genuinely kind people. Now, knowing the truth and looking at their acts of kindness, there was an inexplicable sense of hypocrisy.

“A year ago, my mother was giving porridge outside the city, and she was accidentally looked at by these two people.” Prince Huaishan said, “They recognized my mother, and even found Fuzi, and used Fuzi’s hands to approach her and reveal this matter!”

At this point, the face of the Prince of Huaishan County became more and more gloomy: “Fuzi came to see Manager Song, but Zhao’er bumped into him.”

A child who was supposed to have died back then, who remained unaware of the situation, whether for Prince Huai Shan’s family or for Steward Song, it was not a good thing.

“He…should have died a long time ago!” After hearing about Fuzi’s incident, Steward Song knelt in front of them and swore with tears, “I should have killed this traitor with my own hands!”

Li Zhao and others naturally tried to dissuade him, but for Steward Song, such words only added fuel to the fire.

“Fuzi was not killed by Manager Song. He should have committed suicide.” Lin Fei said calmly.

The stage of the Changshou Opera Troupe was in disrepair. Once the mechanism was activated, people off the stage may not feel the loud sound, but how could the people on the stage not hear it?

The moment a heavy object hit the top of his head, Fuzi didn’t even look at the top of his head. Instead, he looked calmly at the people in the audience, as if he was already prepared for this moment.

“Hu Shi, who died of a heart attack, came to the Changshou Opera Troupe for the first time to listen to a play. She had no habit of listening to plays before. According to the man whom Hu Shi later married, a few days before she went to the play, there was a man dressed like a servant from a powerful family who came to look for Hu Shi.” Lin Fei said, looking at the Prince of Huaishan and his family in front of him, “Of all the people involved in this case, only your family, Prince of Huaishan, has such a servant.”

“So, you wanted to arrange for Hu Shi to come and listen to Fuzi’s scene, and it is you who would fulfill Fuzi’s last wish and make him completely heartbroken.” Lin Fei said.

At first, Fuzi did not think about death. After Manager Huang allowed him to go on stage, he even mentioned to the clerk at the inn that he would “take a few days off and come back in a few days.”

The Huaishan County Prince’s family, who knew best how to win over little people, also knew best how to completely defeat Fuzi’s desire to survive.

“You didn’t need to do anything. Just letting Fuzi see you talking to Steward Song was enough to make Fuzi decide to die,” Lin Fei said.

For Fuzi, who longed to find his biological parents, the sight of Steward Song threatening to “solve this evil obstacle with his own hands” was enough to defeat Fuzi.

Later, the appearance of Hu Shi, who divorced Steward Song and married another man with a child, completely put an end to Fuzi’s last thoughts.

Fuzi chose to commit suicide without even having to take action from Steward Song.

“Originally, this matter could be solved without getting your hands dirty. But it was an accident for Manager Huang,” Lin Fei said. “Manager Huang found out about Fuzi’s life experience and approached Steward Song to ask for money.”

Steward Song’s “righteousness” did not allow the existence of people like Manager Huang to discredit the Huaishan County Prince and his family, so he killed Manager Huang.

At this point, whether it was Fuzi or Manager Huang in this case, the death of the two really could not affect the Huaishan County Prince and his family.

“Even if Steward Song directly or indirectly solved these two people and then voluntarily surrendered, your family would still be unable to sleep at night.” Lin Fei said slowly, “Because the person who attracted the attention of Fuzi and Manager Huang, had not been found yet.”

As soon as they searched, they found Ma Sanci and Hu Chengzu. The Huaishan County Prince’s family would not let these two people live, so Hu and Ma died.

The incident happened so suddenly that even the Huaishan County Prince and his family had no time to think about it. As soon as Hu and Ma died, Lin Fei immediately used Li Yuan to hint that the two had left evidence. After that, the Huaishan County Prince sent the killers to accost them in the street.

At this point, the case had almost been settled.

When Zhao Mengzhuo heard this, he couldn’t help stroking his beard nodding, and looked at the booklet in Lin Fei’s hand: What really made the Huaishan County Prince and his family relax was this booklet found in the warehouse of the guard station.

“Hu Chengzu and Ma Sanci were not dead. The incident in Salt Lake City was such a big fuss back then. As survivors, they must have recorded what happened when they witnessed the Japanese trading with my mother.” Prince Huaishan looked at the booklet in Lin Fei’s hand gloomily, “I didn’t expect that there was a big fire, but it was still there. The luck I was waiting for was indeed not very good!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mengzhuo on the side startled, quickly looking at Prince Huai Shan, “What about Madam Zhou’s heart ailment?”

“Mother did it voluntarily.” King Huaishan County said calmly, “She voluntarily died to save the family.”

Of course, only Old Lady Zhou herself knew whether it was voluntary or not. But at that time, she had no choice. No matter what, she could not escape death.

All the mysteries had been solved so far. Zhao Mengzhuo stretched out his hand toward Lin Fei and touched the booklet in his hand.

Lin Fei glanced at him, and instead of handing it to Shang Feng as before, he opened the booklet in front of everyone and revealed the contents in the booklet to everyone.

Everyone looked at the records in the booklet.

“Buy a stack of eggs for thirty copper coins; buy a radish for five copper coins; buy a pound of pork meat…”

Suddenly seeing the contents of the brochure, they were a little confused. When they came to their senses, the Huaishan County Prince and his family immediately changed their minds. His face changed.

“You…”

Lin Fei closed the book that looked like a running account, looked at the Huaishan County Prince’s family, and said calmly: “Hu Chengzu and Ma Sanci had no idea about the secret that your family had hidden.”
