Su Mingyu remembered Fan Yue; he was a former student of the Grand Tutor. Before Emperor Chen ascended the throne, Fan Yue had served as a Vice Minister in the Ministry of Revenue, but after offending someone in power, he was demoted repeatedly until, thirteen years ago, he was sent to Longcheng to serve as the county magistrate.
And his arrival had coincided with the time just before the incident involving General Su!
Before the tragedy befell General Su, the Su Family and the Grand Tutor’s family had been joined by a marriage contract; their relationship was naturally extraordinary. This explained everything. When Fan Yue took up his post in Longcheng thirteen years ago, he had happened upon Zhu Ci and the others who had just escaped the Western Frontier. Since he was a student of the Grand Tutor, he likely had close ties to General Su’s family as well.
