Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 10 Who is the messenger?

After a pause, she continued: "Your Majesty said that he came here according to the order, but he didn't see the guard of honor, and he didn't inform the government. It seems that he deliberately concealed his tracks and went here first. It's just an announcement. What's the difference sooner or later? The only thing that can be explained is that the court Some people don't want my father to return to Beijing, it may be dangerous."

"So there is a lot of involvement behind the person to be interrogated, right?"

Yan Yun didn't answer, it seemed to be acquiescence.

Suddenly there was a chuckle in the cold and silent courtyard, and several people subconsciously looked at Su Rao. She held the bright yellow cloth, lowered her eyes, and shrugged her shoulders slightly. Bitter cold.

"There are so many officials in the imperial court who can't be appointed, so they want a half-hundred man who has been punished for 18 years to go back to try the case. Heh, his connections are withered, his background is low, and his wife's family is in decline, so he will not be biased. He hates evil like hatred, is loyal and resolute, I am not afraid of the rich and powerful, so I will not retreat timidly..."

"Su girl..."

Yan Yun frowned slightly, and his voice was low.

She didn't realize it suddenly, and there was a sarcasm smile in her eyes, cold and sad, "What kind of order is this, it's clearly a reminder, the court is going to use him as a knife..."

"Su Rao!"

Yan Yun's voice was cold at first, and his words were full of warning, but when his eyes touched the sad face, his voice softened unconsciously, "You are a smart person, you should know what it means to have ears in a partition, and what it means to come from trouble." Come out, don't say this kind of thing again in the future."

"Some things are not all as you think..."

Most of these words are warnings, but they are kind. Su Rao also understands from the bottom of her heart that she is just not worth it for her father. Why did he spend his sincerity and loyalty in this bright and aboveboard life, and all he got was use and betrayal!

Even death is difficult to live in peace.

"It's useless to say any more, it's too late."

Her face was pale, she stared at the coffin, and murmured softly: "It's too late, my father's name has been cleared, but the big revenge has not been avenged. How could you say that it was such a coincidence that nothing happened for 18 years, but he was killed here?" Before Dawn……"

The cold voice revealed a bit of spookiness and spookiness, and every word knocked in the courtyard.

"The girl knows who the murderer is. In your opinion, are the two related?"

"Hard to say."

Su Rao hesitated and shook her head, leaning on the coffin beside her, thoughts raced through her mind, and began to think carefully about today's events, the murder scene, Mrs. Li, Father, Sun Li...

And Liu Tang!

He is the real murderer who can make the magistrate defend and Sun Li take the place!

Once he was filled in, the context of the whole case became more complete and clear—Sun Li was ordered to tie up Mrs. Li and hand it over to Liu Tang. During the violence, Liu Tang resisted and was bitten. In a rage, he strangled Mrs. Li to death with his belt. , This scene was bumped into by my father and silenced.

Later, in order to annihilate the criminal evidence, Sun Li pretended to be the scene of the murder, creating the illusion that Mrs. Li committed suicide after refusing to rape and murder.

The motivation is clear and logical, and there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary.

only one thing...

"Shishi Lane is located at the foot of the city wall, remote and few people, and the tofu shop has been abandoned for many years. It is not surprising that Liu Tangxuan is here, but why did my father appear there by such a coincidence!"

"Perhaps he followed Sun Li?"

Zhu Yan was aroused by what they said, and said while rubbing his clean chin.

"It doesn't make sense."

Su Rao shook her head and vetoed this conjecture, "When Sun Li came back from outside the city, he put Mrs. Li in a cloth bag and said it was a dead deer. The guards guarding the city didn't know there was a person inside. How could my father know?"

"Too."

"So there's a crucial piece missing here."

What on earth led her father to the tofu workshop and indirectly caused his death.

Thinking of this, Su Rao suddenly turned around and walked out, a figure leaped in front of her like lightning, the young man in green clasped his sword and asked with a smile, "What are you going to do? Kill people? Can you take me with you?"

Don't wait for her to answer.

"Bamboo Banquet!"

Yan Yun called coldly, implying a warning. The person who was warned stuck out his tongue and shrugged helplessly: "It's a pity, I still want to join in the fun."

"Shut up now!"

Another boy in black angrily stepped forward and dragged him to a distance, "Whenever it's time, I know how to make trouble..."

"Su girl."

When those voices faded away, Yan Yun spoke slowly, with a cool voice: "You still need to take care of the matter here. As for what to check, if you can trust me, I am willing to do it for you."

"Thank you, Shizi, for your kindness, but there is no need for it."

Su Rao has never been in the habit of pretending to be someone else. After thanking her, she lifted her foot and was about to leave when a gust of wind suddenly struck behind her.
Danger!

As soon as this thought flashed through her brain, her body had already reacted one step faster. She turned around suddenly and raised her palm to meet it. The moment the two gusts of wind collided, "Pfft——"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, Su Rao's figure fell several steps in a row, and she was about to fall down. At this moment, a stream of brocade clothes flashed in front of her eyes, and there were hands around her waist, and she pulled suddenly, her whole body shuddered. Crashed into a warm and soft embrace.

"you……"

"Feel sorry."

The man's low and lingering voice came from above his head, without any waves, "Your anger has accumulated hidden wounds, and it is now the end of your strength. I can only use this method to force you to spit out the blood. I am rude."

The brocade was warm and cool to the touch, and his voice was even cooler, as if the crushed snow on the top of the Jade Mountain had soaked into ice and accumulated on the edge of the cold pool, making people feel like falling into an ice cave just listening to the trickle flowing by.

"what's going on?"

A shredded exclamation floated from the shadow of a tree not far away, shocking Su Rao to come back to her senses, frowned and withdrew from the cold embrace, "Senior Yan, since you know that you are rude, then you shouldn't..."

"Master Su would not want to see you like this."

Yan Yun interrupted her interrogation in a warm voice, his eyes fell on the coffin in the courtyard, and he said softly: "Even if it's for him, you should take care of yourself first."

Take care, yourself?

Su Rao looked along his line of sight, and seemed to see that old and sad face through the thick wooden board, yes, Dad was always worried about her and bothered her.

I am afraid that she will be hurt, that she will suffer, that she will be unhappy.

Afraid that she... would be implicated!

Why bother to make him feel uneasy?

She sighed deeply and walked towards the courtyard.

The moment he passed by Yan Yun, he said softly: "Then I would like to trouble you to send someone to go and ask the shops and hawkers in the alley in front of the Li Mansion and along the Tanshi Street. It will be about a quarter of the next hour. Who has seen my father."

After comprehensive consideration of factors such as the time of death and distance, it is most likely that someone stopped Dad in the middle of the road after he left the Li residence after work.

Yan Yun didn't have much to say, but simply answered with one word, "Okay!"

　I'm going to open for business, please ask for a ticket, ask for a reward.
