Zhao Peng’s parents had passed away a long time ago. These two elders were his grandparents who had raised him since he was young. The death of their son and daughter-in-law had already dealt them a huge blow. They did not expect their beloved grandson to be gone now.
Su Li comforted Zhao Peng’s grandparents. “Grandpa and grandma, my condolences to you. The dead can’t be revived. You have to live strong now. Otherwise, Zhao Peng won’t be at ease watching from the sky! ”
The old man wiped his tears. “We’re already so old. The yellow soil is already buried to our necks. We don’t have much time left to live. It doesn’t matter if we die early or late.”
Afraid that they would seek death, Su Li persuaded, “Grandpa, don’t say that. If you’re all gone, who will offer incense to him in the future?”
Once a person lost their spiritual support, it was easy for them to commit suicide because they had no reason to live.
The old couple let out a long sigh.
Su Li asked, “Grandpa and grandma, can we take a look at where Zhao Peng lived when he was alive?”
The old couple nodded and pointed out Zhao Peng’s room to Su Li.
Su Li and He Yufeng walked towards Zhao Peng’s room. The things in the room were almost cleaned up, and there were still some useless-looking things left. Su Li rummaged through them, hoping to find any relevant clues.
He Yufeng walked around the room and reached out to touch the cracked wall. He felt that this crack in the wall was a good place to hide things. He had done this in the past.
He Yufeng walked around the room. All that was left was the spot where Zhao Peng placed the bed.
He Yufeng stared at the patched mosquito net in a daze. He saw that the wall behind the mosquito net was a little strange. The color of the mud there was different from the others.
He Yufeng walked around the mosquito net and entered. The crack in the wall was not obvious. The mud outside seemed to have been added later.
He Yufeng used his hand to pull down the layer of mud outside. There was indeed something hidden in the crack of the wall. He tried his best to pull out the thing in the crack.
Su Li also noticed He Yufeng’s actions and leaned over.
He Yufeng took out something wrapped in cloth. Since Zhao Peng could wrap this thing so well and hide it, it meant that this thing should be very important to him.
Su Li looked at the things in his hand and said, “I didn’t expect him to hide these things in the crack in the wall. I wonder what they are.”
He Yufeng untied the rope that was tied to the cloth and revealed the thing wrapped in the cloth.
“Documents?”
He Yufeng and Su Li looked at each other.
When they saw the content of the document in their hands, their eyes were filled with shock.
This cloth bag was none other than the evidence that the scholar had bribed the officials.
Su Li now knew why Zhao Peng had been killed. He had something on the scholar. It was only a matter of time before he was silenced.
Now, she suspected that the death of Xiu’er’s family was also for this reason. Otherwise, just an annulment of the engagement would not have destroyed her family.
Su Li took the evidence from He Yufeng and said, “Leave this with me for now.
I’ll keep it.”
He Yufeng frowned with disapproval. “This thing is too dangerous. It’s better to leave it with me.”
He did not want Su Li to be in danger.
Su Li put the things away. “It’s safer to leave them with me. What if you lose them?”
He Yufeng persuaded, “This thing is too dangerous. I’ll keep it for now!”
Su Li said, “It’s fine. Even if you don’t say it, no one will know that the thing is with me. Let’s leave quickly. It’s not suitable to stay here for too long. It won’t be good if someone sees us.”
They had already obtained the item, so there was no need for them to stay here.
After leaving Zhao Peng’s house, the crying in the central room continued. Afraid that she would be sad, He Yufeng held her hand and said, “Let’s go!” “Yes!” Su Li nodded.
On the way back, the two of them did not speak. When they were about to reach the village entrance, He Yufeng spoke.
“What are you going to do about this?”
Su Li thought for a moment and said, “I haven’t thought about it yet!”
The biggest problem now was who to give this evidence to. Reporting it to the officials would not work. After all, the county magistrate and that scholar were birds of a feather. If they reported it to the officials, wouldn’t they be sending themselves to be slaughtered?
Su Li scratched her head. She really couldn’t think of a suitable person for the time being.
He Yufeng looked at the village and said, “There might be someone who can help us!”
“Who is it?” Su Li asked.
No one he knew seemed to be able to surpass the county magistrate. Although Sun Yuangui had some power and money, he still could not compete with the county magistrate. Even if he had the ability, he might not help them.
He Yufeng said, “Have you forgotten the patient lying on the bed? For someone to go through so much trouble to kill him, his identity shouldn’t be as simple as being the owner of a medical center.”
“Someone once said that he has a background in the capital, and his surname is
Ling. I think he should be related to the Ling family in the capital.”
Although all ot this was his speculation, all his thoughts were based on evidence. He was not making wild guesses.
Su Li’s eyes lit up when she heard He Yufeng’s words. It would be best if Ling Yiran could help. She had saved his life, so it should not be a problem for him to help her.
Su Li said, “I’ll test him later. It would be best if he can help.”
Ling Yiran was lying in the courtyard under the sun. Su Li had instructed him not to move, but he really couldn’t lie down anymore. If he lay down again, he would turn moldy.
Therefore, he asked Cheng Yu to help him set up a chair in the courtyard so that he could bask in the sun.
Before Su Li entered, she saw Ling Yiran sunbathing in the courtyard.
Su Li walked in quickly and looked at Ling Yiran. “Why are you out of bed?”
A trace of guilt flashed across Ling Yiran’s face. “It’s too boring to lie in bed. If I don’t come out soon, my heart disease will come out.”
Su Li said, “Isn’t it just lying down for a few days? Is it that difficult?”
“Besides, your injuries haven’t recovered yet. If you don’t listen to me and something happens, I won’t give you an anesthetic and will sew you up. Let’s see if you’re still in the mood to lie here and continue to bask in the sun.”
It was really too difficult for her to face such a disobedient patient. If his wound was inflamed and opened, she would have to treat him.
Ling Yiran heard Su Li’s scolding and smiled. “It’s fine. I’ve been paying attention. I won’t let the wound open!”
Su Li rolled her eyes at him. “You’re not a doctor. If you say it won’t open, it won’t open?”
Ling Yiran looked at Su Li’s fierce expression and touched his nose. “Then I’ll go back to bed!”
Cheng Yu secretly gave Su Li a thumbs up. Su Li was still the best.. His persuasion was useless!
