Fan Jian's eyes suddenly widened, and his already ugly face turned pale due to shock, "You...how did you know?!"
"Isn't it obvious? There are burns and yellow marks on the thumb of your right hand, and there are also yellow marks on the other four fingers and even the fingers of your left hand. That's because you often boil medicine recently. The furnace for boiling medicine needs to be lifted by holding its handle. People who are not used to this job can easily burn their thumbs.
The yellow marks on your fingers are from the medicine. Once the pigment from the medicine settles, it is not easy to wash off. "
Su Liuyue smiled coldly and said, "Three months ago, you managed to save your family with great difficulty. No matter how much resentment and pain you felt, you put it aside after seeing what happened to your father-in-law's family. You sincerely took your family back to your hometown to live out your life.
Who would have thought that not long after leaving the capital, someone in your family would get into trouble.
Who is it? That person can't be your wife. You married your wife purely for your own future. Moreover, you can be so cruel as to abandon your wife. If your current wife had an incurable serious illness, with your personality, you would most likely abandon her directly. Why would you return to the capital for her and join such a dangerous gang? "
Fan Jian's face became more and more ugly, and his lips kept trembling.
The more Su Liuyue spoke, the colder her tone became, "The only ones who could be sick are your children.
When you were caught yesterday, you were secretly observing the residence of the steward of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's palace. He must be the next target of your gang!
You joined that gang, but you got money? You joined them and worked for them for money, to treat your sick son or daughter!
And the one who got sick was most likely your son. A selfish person like you would only fight for things that benefited you. When your ex-wife took your two children to the lake, she cursed you to have no children or grandchildren. You must have been very concerned about it, right? But at that time you were still young, had a bright future, and had already married a new wife. Although you would be sad about the death of your two children, you would not feel desperate, because at that time you felt that you were fully capable of giving birth to ten or eight more children.
But now it’s different. You’re old now, you’ve lost your official position, and you don’t have any money. If you lose this son, it will be difficult for you to have another one. By then, your ex-wife’s curse will come true, and you will have no children or grandchildren! That’s why you joined that gang for your son regardless of everything!”
Fan Jian's body suddenly trembled violently, and he shook his head desperately with a pale face, "No, I really didn't, I don't know what gang it was, don't try to slander me..."
Su Liuyue curled the corners of his mouth in amusement.
His reaction simply told her that her analysis, even if not completely correct, was at least 80% correct.
She said calmly, "You won't cry until you see the coffin, right? After you were arrested yesterday, you insisted that you were just in town to buy something, but when asked where you lived, you just vaguely said that you found a place to stay outside the city. When asked where your family was, you were unwilling to say.
Because before, someone saw you and your family leaving the capital, your house and shops in the capital had been confiscated long ago, and you didn't have enough money to live in the city, so we all thought that your family would not be in the city.
But... you returned to the capital because your son needed medical treatment. Xinjing has the best doctors in Daqing, and most of the best doctors are in the city. The disease that made you desperate enough to join such a dangerous gang must not be a minor one.
And His Highness said that when you were captured yesterday, you had nothing on you except a string of copper coins. At first I thought you were going into the city to get medicine, but people who go to the city to get medicine usually carry prescriptions. However, you just admitted that what you wanted to buy was life-saving medicine.
You have money but no prescription. There are only two possibilities:
First, the doctor who treats your son is in the capital, and you can go directly to his clinic to get the medicine.
Second, your son is in the city right now, and most likely in the clinic where he is receiving treatment!"
Fan Jian didn't know when sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at Su Liuyue with trembling pupils, and finally spoke in a stammering voice, "You...what do you want to do? You..."
"Fan Jin, you used to be in the government, don't play dumb." Su Liuyue stood up suddenly, looked down at him again, and said coldly: "Although there are many clinics in the capital, there are also many government officials. If we search the clinics one by one, it will not be difficult to find the doctor who treated your son in the past few days. Your son still relies on him for treatment. We will ambush there and find your son sooner or later.
Joining that kind of gang is indeed an unforgivable crime. In serious cases, you may be charged with treason. It is normal that you don't want to admit it, but considering that you took the risk to join them for your son, I can plead with His Highness on your behalf. If you can cooperate with us to wipe out that gang, you can even be considered to have made meritorious service while serving your sentence. At that time, what if we pay to help your son recover from his illness?
But if you continue to be confused, don't blame us for being cruel to your son..."
"No!"
Fan Jian was so frightened that he almost cried. He quickly crawled forward on his knees, grasped the wooden bars of the cage, and said with bloodshot eyes, "Don't touch my Hao'er, don't touch my poor Hao'er, he is only a seven-year-old child!
I... I'll tell you everything! I didn't want to do that! Just like you said, after being deposed, I accepted it even if I was unwilling. As long as our family of four can be well, I'm not afraid to start over again.
That gang... the leader of that gang had come to me before. He tried to incite me to hate... hate the current court, but I think their actions are ridiculous. They have no method at all. They just gathered a group of people who are unhappy with their lives in the new dynasty, and secretly cursed... cursed the current court, and then planned some things that are of no use except to vent their anger, saying that... they said it was to take revenge on the current court.
In order to entice me to join them, he promised me many benefits, saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although they were not doing as well in Daqing as they were in Dayan, as their leader, he still had some wealth. As long as I could help him complete his revenge on the court, he would give me both money and beauties.
I rejected him, I rejected him at the beginning! "
Fan Jian bit his lip hard, and said in a daze: "After that, I took my wife and children away. Unexpectedly, not long after we left, my son suddenly yelled that he was dizzy and had a headache. We didn't take it seriously at first, but later, my son couldn't even speak clearly, couldn't walk steadily, and even had crooked mouth and eyes, and numbness of limbs. I quickly found a doctor nearby to see him. The doctor said that my son was suffering from... rheumatism. He was not good at treating rheumatism, but he knew that there was a doctor in Xinjing who was very knowledgeable about this disease.
He said that my son's symptoms were not serious, and if he was sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, he might be able to be saved..."
Wind disease, similar to paralysis today.
You can guess what happens next.
Su Liuyue said: "Then, you took your wife and children back to the capital. However, the consultation fees of doctors with a certain reputation are not low, and the wind disease cannot be cured in a short time. In desperation, you took the initiative to find that gang and wanted to join them..."
"Yes, that's right..."
As Fan Jian was talking, he suddenly became excited, his eyes reddened and he gritted his teeth and said, "My life has already been like this, I admit it, but my son must not become a useless person! Our Fan family is counting on him in the future, I must save him! I must save him!"
God is so blind! Why doesn't he give him any chance to survive?
The few soldiers who came in with Su Liuyue and the others have not yet come to their senses.
Yesterday, they were in charge of interrogating Fan Jian, but no matter how harshly they tortured him, Fan Jian just gritted his teeth and refused to say a word, insisting that he had nothing to do with that gang.
Who would have thought that when Su Xiaolangjun came today, he just blurted out everything!
Su Liuyue was not interested in listening to his obsession, and said coldly: "Very good, as long as you cooperate with us, I can promise that we will try our best to save your son.
How many people are there in that gang? Where is their base? Who is the leader? " (End of this chapter)
