Chapter 433: Chapter 432 The Debt Disappears with Death_1

When Ye Han arrived at Yongze County, he not only brought the imperial edict from His Majesty, but also a letter for Su Pan’er from Fei’er.

In the letter, Fei’er explained in detail his feelings of longing for Su Pan’er.

He also recounted in detail how he and Ye Han ended up in Luoyan Village.

It turned out that the Emperor had gone to a royal villa for a spring outing with his favored Imperial Consort Hua, with Fei’er, the Eighth Prince, accompanying his mother. On the return journey, His Majesty was attacked.

Ye Han happened to be there. In the ensuing confusion, he defended the Eighth Prince, and in the process of escaping from the assassins, they were separated from the group.

As they were fleeing and hiding, Ye Han realized that these so-called assassins were not targeting His Majesty, but the Eighth Prince he was protecting. Their real goal was to take the Eighth Prince’s life.

He had no choice but to flee with the Eighth Prince, and by chance, they were saved by Su Pan’er.

On their journey, they attempted to reunite with His Majesty but heard that His Majesty had fallen unconscious from the assassination attempt and the Empress was handling court affairs.

The Empress’s maiden family has always had a difficult relationship with Imperial Consort Hua’s faction.

Considering the intricate situation in the palace, the only ones who could make an attempt on His Majesty and the Eighth Prince became clear!

Afterward, Ye Han dared not recklessly return to the palace but stayed in the vicinity of Deicide Mountain until he heard news of His Majesty’s awakening, only then did he return to Capital City with the Eighth Prince.

In the end, Fei’er wrote that he personally reported the merits of Su Pan’er in front of His Majesty, but His Majesty was inexplicably hesitant, and Fei’er could only get so much recognition for them.

He also stated that whenever there’s a chance, he would come to visit Su Pan’er.

"Fei’er... Oh no! The Eighth Prince is too polite. His Majesty has already bestowed us too much, and I do not dare to ask for more."

Su Pan’er solemnly told this to Ye Han after reading the letter.

"In fact, everyone sees the Eighth Prince being well-dressed and radiant. But who can truly see the hardship of the Eighth Prince’s situation?"

Ye Han nodded: "The power of the Empress’s family is immense, with numerous tools like Seventh Master and Eighth Master. The Eighth Prince is still young and his roots are shallow. Which is why..."

He looked at Qin Yi who seemed to be at a loss for words.

Qin Yi’s eyes flashed as he stood up: "Since we are destined to be intertwined with the Eighth Prince, we would naturally do our best to help him in the future. General, feel free to speak your mind!"

Indeed, from the moment Su Pan’er saved Fei’er, they were labeled as part of the Eighth Prince’s faction. Unless Qin Yi abandoned his career path of an official, they were now bound together on the same rope.

"In fact, the Eighth Prince intended to ask for a regular fifth-grade position of deputy official for you, but I prevented him."

Ye Han’s words were slow, and after finishing, he watched attentively Qin Yi’s and other’s expressions.

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, and after a moment, he nodded: "It seems that the General has made a well-thought-out decision, Qin Yi thanks the General for his wonderful consideration."

The corners of Ye Han’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile on his usually solemn face.

"Yes, I indeed took the time to think this over! I held it back because I had no other option."

A glimmer of coldness flashed across his face: "After the Eighth Prince successfully returned to Capital City from the danger, I always felt an invisible hand behind me, lifting the Eighth Prince high into the sky. But right now, the Eighth Prince’s roots are too shallow. There can be no mistakes. Therefore, it’s better for you two to go to the local government to gain some practical experience, to acquaint yourselves with officialdom, and to avoid attracting unnecessary attention."

Ye Han also left unsaid the fact that he was unfamiliar with whether Qin Yi is a talented official or not.

He fears that a hasty promotion could bring unpredictable consequences to the Eighth Prince.

So, he would temporarily test and observe Qin Yi for some time before making a decision.

So that’s what was going on?

Qin Yi quickly thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, General, for guiding me."

Ye Han gave a slight smile: "There’s no need for such formality. Also, due to your previous connection to Su Sikong, concerning the suspicion that Su Sikong was murdered by a mysterious organization, County Magistrate Jun has fully briefed me. I will obviously report to His Majesty, as His Majesty is also aware of this organization. This organization is unpredictable, so in the future, you must be careful. After all, Su Sikong was one of them, and they may not let this matter go easily."

"Thank you, General, for the reminder, Qin Yi will definitely be careful."

Qin Yi thanked him, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. He was surprised that even though Su Sikong was dead, the trouble was still incessant!

The news of Su Sikong’s unexpected death reached the Su Family before dawn on the second day.

When we say it reached the Su Family, it only reached the ears of Su Lao Si.

Originally, Su Lao Si and the others were seeing off Su Pan’er and Qin Yi. However, they ended up receiving promotions and everyone was overjoyed!

They decided to stay overnight at the inn, intending to return to Luoyan Village with Qin Yi and Su Pan’er.

But before dawn, an officer came to knock on the door of the inn.

Everyone was in disbelief!

It was only when they saw the body of Su Sikong in the county government office that they believed the news was true.

Su Lao Si immediately sent a letter back to Luoyan Village and brought back Su Sikong’s body.

The Su Family went through a series of upheavals.

Originally, their house was sealed by a large character "seal", but when Su Sikong was released by the Seventh Master and Eighth Master, the seal was lifted. The members of the Su Family had just returned to their home, and they heard the news of Su Sikong’s death. Everyone was stunned and found it hard to believe.

Due to the custom that the dead outside the home cannot be brought into the house, Su Hai had to order to set up a tent near the wall of the Su Family’s courtyard, temporarily arranged as a mourning hall to place Su Sikong’s body.

Because Su Sikong was stingy and greedy in his lifetime, and died in such a violent way, even though it was officially announced that he died of a sudden illness, who would believe such a statement?

After the body was laid out for two days, there were hardly any mourners, and it felt incredibly cold and lonely.

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi came to mourn on the third day.

Although she did not have a good impression of Su Sikong when he was alive, now that he’s dead, the score was settled.

No matter what happened in the past, he was her great uncle, and mourning for him was the right thing to do!

When the two of them arrived, only Su Xian’er was seen kneeling in front of the fire basin burning paper, wearing a sackcloth. No one else was seen.

When they saw Su Pan’er approach cautiously with Qin Yi’s help, she barely moved her eyelids.

Looking at the empty mourning hall and the modest coffin under the large character "Condolence", Su Pan’er lit three incense sticks, then came forward and paid her respects.

A lifetime of struggle for fame and benefits, and upon death, all that remains is a modest coffin for burial. It is profoundly thought-provoking.
