Su Jin, Lianxiang and Qinghe were crying in the room, and Tan Zong on the bed felt bad. He squinted his eyes and quietly pinched Su Jin, who was holding his hand while Lianxiang and Qinghe were not paying attention.

Su Jin was sad, and suddenly felt his hands tight. When he looked up, Tan Zong smiled at her, blinked his eyes sly, and closed his eyes.[]

Just when Su Jin thought he was dazzled, Tan Zong gently pinched her hand.

Su Jin was stunned at first, then understood, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and tears burst out again.

Unlike the previous sadness, she cried with joy this time.

Not long after, amid the crying of Su Jin and the other two, Tan Zong's head moved slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"My husband!" Seeing this, Su Jin shouted anxiously.

When Lianxiang and Qinghe heard this, they rushed to the bed and looked at Tan Zong with tears in their eyes.

"I... I'm afraid I can't do it anymore. You... you are still... young, find... to find someone who fits... to marry...." Tan Zongyou woke up with his leisure. He seemed very weak. He looked at Su Jin and the other two, and said intermittently.

"My husband, no one except you, Qinghe will marry." Qinghe leaned beside the bed, and her tears rolled down like beads with broken threads.

"Lianxiang would rather be a sister in the temple." Lianxiang also fell down, bit her lips, and shed tears.

Regardless of whether Qinghe and Lianxiang were telling the truth, Tan Zong couldn't help but feel moved. He raised his hand tremblingly and wiped the tears from Qinghe's cheek that was closest to him. Qinghe grabbed his hand and pressed it on his cheek, his heart was like a knife.

Tan Zong smiled slightly at Qinghe, looked at Lianxiang again, opened his lips to say something, but he couldn't say it in the end. He tilted his head and closed his eyes.

"My husband!" Qinghe couldn't help but get angry when she saw this, her eyes turned dark and she fell to the ground.

"Sister, wake up, wake up." Lianxiang quickly helped Qinghe up, knelt there, hugged her and cried.

Just as Su Jin was about to check Qinghe, a sound of footsteps came from the courtyard. It seemed that someone was coming. She hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea, sat on the chair beside the bed and looked at Tan Zong with tears in his eyes, looking like he was in a state of dismay.

After a while, Cao Qiaomu led Qian Hao in. Behind the two, several maids were there. It was Cao Qiaomu who asked Qian Hao to find someone who came to serve Su Jin, Qinghe and Lianxiang.

"What's wrong with Menghua?" After witnessing the situation in the house, Cao Qiaomu was shocked, his face changed, he quickly walked towards Su Jin, and asked in a deep voice.

His voice trembled slightly due to nervousness.

"Sir, my husband is gone." Su Jin looked at Cao Qiaomu in rain, looking sad and pitiful.

Qian Hao's mind buzzed and a blank sound when he heard this. Although he had been prepared for a long time, when he received the news of Tan Zong's death, he was still a little unacceptable.

From Cao Qiaomu's reaction of losing his composure, Qian Hao clearly felt the importance of Tan Zong in his mind. It seemed that Qian En might be really involved this time, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Cao Qiaomu stood by the bed with an expressionless face, staring at Tan Zong silently, his eyes cold, and he didn't know what to think.

Qian Hao quickly came to his senses and quickly greeted the maids, carried Qinghe out of the fainting, and asked the doctor for treatment.

"Come here, take down the magistrate of Wujiang County Zhao Zhongchao and the head of Bainiu Town Qian En." After a long time, Cao Qiaomu turned around and shouted at the guard outside the door with a blue face.

Qian Hao, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but tremble for a moment, his face was bloodless. At this time, he could only pray to Qian En to not implicate the Qian family, hoping that Cao Qiaomu would give up the Qian family because of his efforts to take care of Tan Zong, otherwise the Qian family's century-old foundation would probably be ruined.

"Sadness and reconciliation!" Then, Cao Qiaomu gently patted Su Jin's shoulder, with a gloomy face, and left with great strides. Qian Hao hurriedly bowed and followed him.

"You go see Qinghe, I want to stay alone with my husband for a while." Soon, Su Jin turned his head and looked at Lianxiang who was crying beside the bed, and said quietly.

Lian Xiang looked at Tan Zong reluctantly and staggered away. When Tan Zong died, she didn't know who she should rely on in the future.

There were three maids in the room, one of whom followed Lianxiang out, while the other two stood beside him and stayed to serve Su Jin.

"You guys go down too." Su Jin waved his hands at the two maids, his eyes full of sadness.

The two maids looked at each other, bowed to Su Jin, closed the door and stood outside the house, waiting for Su Jin's order at any time.

"Two girls, I and my brothers are a little hungry. Please help the two girls prepare some food for us." Qin Yu kept guarding the yard. Seeing this, he walked up to the two maids and bowed his hand to the two maids and said.

The two maids responded and went to the kitchen to prepare meals. Qin Yu stood guard at the door.

"Master, Madam." After the two maids left the yard, Su Jin wiped the tears from his face, gently pushed Tan Zong on the bed, and shouted in a low voice.

"I'm sorry for you." Tan Zong first grabbed Su Jin's hand, then opened his eyes and smiled at her.

Upon hearing this, Su Jin's eyes turned red again and she shook her head gently. As long as Tan Zong is fine, everything she has done is worth it.

In Tan Zong's plan, Su Jin is a crucial part. She not only has to cover up Tan Zong's escape, but also has to face all kinds of people who come to mourn Tan Zong. The responsibility is heavy. If you are not careful, you may be seen by those who are interested, which will make Tan Zong's plan waste all his efforts.

"My husband, do you want to secretly investigate the Japanese bandits?" After learning about Tan Zong's plan, Su Jin looked at him in surprise, his eyes full of worry.

Tan Zong's move is very dangerous. Once he reveals something, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"The situation in Suzhou Prefecture is too complicated. The other party is hiding in the dark and knows our actions well. If we cannot avoid their eyes and ears, we can only be passive everywhere." Tan Zong sighed and looked at Su Jin helplessly, "Since they are going to put me to death, I am now inseparable from it. I can only burn my boats and put them to death before they can survive."

Su Jin remained silent when he heard this. So many things have happened in Nanjing during this period. On the surface, it seems that the Shanyue people and the Japanese are causing trouble, but the timing of the two are too coincidental. One in front and the other in response, which makes people think a lot.

However, from the timing alone, it cannot explain anything. Perhaps it is a coincidence. However, the Japanese then disappeared inexplicably under the pursuit of thousands of soldiers. In addition, Zhao Yuanchang of Suzhou Prefecture surfaced, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse and became extremely complicated.

Obviously, a mysterious organization planned what happened in Nanjing Prefecture recently and secretly monitored the actions of Nanjing Prefecture. Zhao Yuanchang is a member of this mysterious organization. He is most likely a middle-level person who knows a lot of secrets.

Since Tan Zong arrested Zhao Yuanchang and exposed Zhao Yuanchang unexpectedly, Tan Zong has probably become a thorn in the side of this mysterious organization and wants to get rid of it quickly.

Therefore, Su Jin knew that Tan Zong had no choice but to fight with the enemy, seek victory in the near future, and deal with this mysterious organization to the end.

"My husband, will Zhao Yuanchang know the details of those assassins?" Suddenly, Su Jin remembered something and couldn't help but look at Tan Zong.

"What can I do if I know?" Tan Zong shook his head when he heard this, "If I guess correctly, Zhao Shiting must be with those Japanese bandits now. Zhao Yuanchang was worried that the prince could find those Japanese bandits, and he was afraid that the prince would have their spies in his men, so he would never reveal a word before he found Zhao Shiting."

"Then, what's your clue?" Su Jin frowned slightly when he heard this and asked with concern.

"It is definitely not the purpose of ordinary people to hide more than a thousand Japanese bandits. The other party must be either rich or noble." Tan Zong stood up, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and smiled at Su Jin, "Since those Japanese bandits disappeared from Wujiang, then I will start from these powerful people in Wujiang County."

"It turns out that my husband has made arrangements long ago." Su Jin stretched his eyebrows and said with a smile when he heard this.

"It's not considered any arrangement. The other party is hiding deeply, so he can only take one step at a time." Tan Zong put down the teacup and shrugged his shoulders at Su Jin helplessly. Although the general position has been determined, he has not yet thought about where to open the gap.

"My husband, more than a thousand Japanese bandits are not a small number. Although their whereabouts can be hidden, there is one thing that cannot be hidden quietly?" Su Jin smiled slightly, stood up and walked to Tan Zong's side, dipped a little tea with his fingers, and wrote a word on the table - food.

Tan Zong looked at the word "food" on the table, and was stunned at first, then a light of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he suddenly realized. He hugged Su Jin in his arms and said excitedly, "Thank you, my wife."

Su Jin smiled slightly, and gently snuggled his head on Tan Zong's chest, enjoying this rare warmth.

The news of Tan Zong's death soon spread to Suzhou City in Wujiang. When Zhao Yunan received the news, he was summoning officials from Suzhou City to discuss the pursuit and suppression of Japanese bandits. After hearing the news, he couldn't help but be furious and threw the teacup in public and ordered that the investigation be investigated to the end, and the murderer behind the killing of Tan Zong must be found.

Facing Zhao Yunan who was furious, the officials at the scene were all silent, lowered their heads, and did not dare to breathe.

Afterwards, Zhao Yunan put down his affairs and rushed to Wujiang County in person to pay tribute to Tan Zong.

At the same time, at the warning of Cao Qiaomu, not only Zhao Zhongchao and Qian En were locked up, but even the owner and clerk of the restaurant where the incident were difficult to escape and were dragged away from the home by the aggressive sergeant.

Zhao Zhongchao and Qian En were locked up in a side courtyard in Qian's mansion. The charges were for negligence and disadvantageous governance. The two were very tactful and did not refuse. They admitted the charge negligently, reducing the pain of flesh and blood.

The owner and the client of the restaurant were locked in the yard with the two. They were not so lucky. Under the torture of the officials, they all turned into a slander and had to admit collusion with the assassin and murder Tan Zong. After signing and approving the letter, they were thrown into a small black room, waiting for Zhao Yunan's despair.

Two days later, Zhao Yun'an came to Bainiu Town, and Cao Qiaomu led a group of officials to greet him outside the town. Zhao Yun'an's carriage did not stop at all, and drove directly into the town. Cao Qiaomu led the officials to follow closely behind.

Tan Zong's mourning hall was set up in the lobby of Qian Mansion. Zhao Yunan walked into Qian Mansion with a gloomy face surrounded by everyone.

Su Jin, Qinghe and Lianxiang were wearing mourning clothes and mourning clothes, kneeling in front of Tan Zong's coffin, each with pale faces and haggard expressions. Seeing that Zhao Yunan was coming, the three of them stood up and saluted Zhao Yunan with the support of the maid beside them.

"Open." Zhao Yunan waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to be too polite, and walked straight to the coffin and said in a deep voice.

Qin Yu, who was guarding the pipe, heard this and immediately greeted his subordinates, slowly lifted the lid of the coffin, revealing Tan Zong lying inside.

Tan Zong was wearing a new outfit, lying there with his eyes closed, with a peaceful expression.

Qian Hao originally found a coroner to organize his remains for Tan Zong. After taking it, Su Jin refused. Su Jin shed tears and did not even let Qinghe and Lianxiang participate. He personally cleaned up Tan Zong's "body", which was also a last journey in his life. The maids on the side felt sad.

"Menghua, I agreed to go back to the capital together, why did you leave like this?" Zhao Yunan stared at Tan Zong in the coffin, and after a long time, he murmured to himself, and his eyes gradually became wet.

All the officials at the scene felt Zhao Yunan's sadness, and stood there with their heads down, and no one dared to look at him.

"Prince, people cannot be resurrected by death. I will be mournful and follow the changes!" Seeing this, Cao Qiaomu walked to Zhao Yunan's side and whispered to comfort him.

"Prince, be mournful and follow the changes!" Seeing Cao Qiaomu stand up, the officials bowed and said to Zhao Yunan in unison.

"Have you found out the origin of the assassin?" Zhao Yunan wiped the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, twisted to Cao Qiaomu, and asked in a deep voice.

"Not yet, but several of the assassin's accomplices were found. Unfortunately, they were just outsiders and didn't know much about it." Cao Qiaomu shook his head and answered respectfully.

"I think they are lucky. No matter what method they use, even if they pry, they have to pry out their background from their mouths. Otherwise, how can they be worthy of the dead Menghua!" Zhao Yunan frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and said coldly.

"The official understands." Cao Qiaomu bowed to Zhao Yunan and said.

The officials at the scene couldn't help but look at each other a few times and lowered their heads again. Zhao Yunan's words just now clearly meant that he wanted the lives of those accomplices. It seemed that the restaurant owner and his friend would probably not survive tonight.

No one cares whether the restaurant owner and those guys were wronged. Even if it was wronged, so what? Someone always needs to bear Zhao Yunan's anger when Tan Zong was assassinated, and someone always needs to take the blame.

If it is really strange, they will have bad luck. Who asked the assassin to choose their restaurant to assassinate Tan Zong?

"Menghua, don't worry, I will find out the murderer behind the scenes and let him bury you." Then, Zhao Yunan put a stick of incense on Tan Zong and said with a serious expression as he looked at him.

"Thank you, Prince." After hearing this, Su Jin pushed away the maid who was supporting him, staggered to Zhao Yunan, his knees softened, and he knelt down.

"Thank you, Prince." Qinghe and Lianxiang then knelt behind Su Jin.

Before Zhao Yunan could speak, Su Jin's body suddenly shook and fell to the ground and fainted.
