After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 268 My brain isn't quite working properly.
Liu Tian didn't think much about Su Wenheng's intentions.

He sent word through his servants that he wanted to see the Prefect of the Capital to find out the truth about Cui's murder and who had buried him alive in his ancestral grave.
-
Ever since Zhang Da was placed under guard, he had been worried that the real reason for Cui's death would be exposed.

He was terrified that Liu Tian would betray him.

She was, after all, just a concubine's daughter, and their relationship wasn't particularly close in the past.

It's even quite possible that there's no feeling involved at all!
It's just a matter of "people die for wealth, birds die for food," all for the sake of relying on the Zhang family for shelter.

Liu Tianyou is ambitious, and he knows it very well.

He also needs this ambition to help him keep the second brother in check.

Even now, he still doesn't quite understand how things are developing.

What exactly is this wretched boy, Liu Tian, ​​trying to do?
Could it be that they intend to destroy the Zhang family?

And the Cui family...

How did Cui's body end up being dug up in the yard?
He clearly remembered that Zhou Mama was buried in that place!
He personally placed Cui's body into the coffin.

Zhang Da was not a very smart person to begin with, and now his thoughts were in a mess, so he couldn't sort things out at all. He could only wander around like a headless fly.

I was filled with fear and anxiety, yet I felt utterly helpless.

until--

Suddenly, people from the Jingzhao Prefecture came over politely and asked him to leave.

We also need to take him home.

"You guys, this is it?"

Zhang Da had a stern face, clearly still harboring resentment towards the Jingzhao Prefecture for arresting him earlier.

"Our master has already investigated and found out about Madam Cui's murder."

The constable said to Zhang Dadao with great sympathy, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences!"

Zhang Da:......

What's going on? The investigation was completed, but they still released him?

Wasn't Cui killed by him because of an argument?

Could it be that he has a memory problem?
Zhang Da suddenly felt a little insecure. But the yamen runners really wanted to let him go, and even prepared a carriage to take him home.

Where is Zhang Tian?

Suddenly, Zhang Da thought of something and hurriedly asked Zhang Tian.

Only Zhang Tian and Granny Zhou knew that he had accidentally killed Cui that day.

He has already silenced Granny Zhou.

That leaves only Zhang Tian to know, but now, the Jingzhao Prefecture shows no intention of pursuing the matter.

Obviously, this "investigation" is not a true "investigation," otherwise how could the real "murderer" be allowed to go unpunished?

The only other possibility that Zhang Da could think of, given his limited intelligence, was that Zhang Tian had taken the blame for him!
He suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

In the past, I have indeed neglected and mistreated this son.

Unexpectedly, this kid was actually willing to risk his life to take the blame for him...

Just as he was feeling touched, Zhang Da saw Liu Tian, ​​who was also being seen off with great care.

Zhang Da:......

what's the situation?
The reason he was able to clear his name and leave the capital city openly was not because Zhang Tian took the blame for him.

Could it be that Cui was not killed by him?
"Father."

Liu Tian bowed respectfully to the person.

Then he said, "Grandfather is getting old, and the Prefect has already arranged for a sedan chair to take him back to the mansion. Let's go back too."

Zhang Da:......

Has his father already gone back?

So, all that commotion and all that fanfare, in the end nothing happened?
"Then your second uncle..." Zhang Da thought of his second brother, who had also returned safely, and his tone was somewhat displeased.

Liu Tian looked grief-stricken: "Second Uncle is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He first plotted to kill Mother, and then buried me alive. Father, you really don't need to be sad about such a person."

Zhang Da:......

He felt as if his mind had gone blank for a while.
