Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 62

Although Su Xiaowen's ghost never appeared again after Lu Banxian was asked to arrange a large number of "magic weapons", Liu Shengyi's mental state still did not improve after these few days.

As the saying goes, "If you don't do something wrong, you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door", but if you do something wrong, it will be a ghost knocking on the door...

Especially after being made a fuss by Su Xiaowen once, Liu Shengyi's heart disease became more serious.He hides at home every day, not daring to come out the door.

Tonight, he tossed and turned, and slowly fell asleep when he stayed up late.

In a daze, he suddenly felt that his body became very heavy, as if something was pressing on him, making him unable to move and breathing hard.

"Am I being pressed by a ghost?"

Liu Shengyi was terrified and struggled desperately, but the more he struggled, the heavier he became, as if being soaked in water, he almost suffocated to death.

"Help!"

He wanted to shout, but there was no sound at all.

The next moment, a ray of light seemed to pass by, breaking through the shackles on his body. Liu Shengyi felt lucky to have survived a desperate situation. He sat up suddenly, and then saw a sharp short knife pointing at him.

Liu Shengyi yelled in fright, but still couldn't make a sound. At some point, a piece of rag was stuffed into his mouth, which was tightly blocked.

The person holding the short blade was a man in black, with a black scarf covering his face, only showing a pair of cold eyes: "If you don't want to die, don't move."

Liu Shengyi saw his situation clearly, and immediately behaved like a sheep.

The man in black said again: "Liu Shengyi, your false accusation against Su Xiaowen has come to light."

Liu Shengyi wanted to deny that he had done it, but he couldn't speak.

"You don't have to deny it, and you can't deny it. You know about Zhou Ming's death. Do you think he really died by a mistake?"

Hearing this, Liu Shengyi was greatly surprised.

Su Jin's assassination of Zhou Ming, making him a cripple, had spread widely. Later, Zhou Ming became a little abnormal, and he stumbled and crashed to death one night.

Hearing the news of his death, Liu Shengyi still felt a bit sad at that time.Unexpectedly, someone suddenly came to say that Zhou Ming's death was not an accident.

If it wasn't an accident, it was murder.

Who made the move?

Could it be Su Xiaowen's ghost?
The man in black seemed to have read his mind, raised his short blade, and patted his cheek: "To tell you the truth, it was Zhifu Gou who attacked."

Liu Shengyi was stunned, and didn't believe it. If his mouth hadn't been gagged, he would have shouted: "How is that possible?"

The man in black chuckled: "Nothing is impossible, you know, an imperial envoy came from the capital and has already arrived at Gaozhou Prefecture."

Although Liu Shengyi never left home, he had heard about this news.For local, this is a big deal.

The man in black asked again: "Do you know who the Imperial Envoy is?"

Liu Shengyi didn't know that the imperial envoy came suddenly, and when they arrived at Xingyuan, they also appeared quite mysterious, rarely showing their faces.Normally, when noble people came to Fucheng for inspection, as a candidate, Liu Shengyi would be called out to accompany him, but this time it was abnormal.

The man in black didn't give a damn: "Let me tell you, his name is Su Xiaocheng, Su Xiaowen's second brother."

When Liu Shengyi heard it, he immediately felt that a bucket of ice water had been poured on his head, and he felt bad all over.

Liu Shengyi was aware of the split between Su Xiaowen and the clan, and after understanding the situation, he learned that the Su family treated Fang Xiaowen very badly, as if he had abandoned his son.That's why he dared to do this.

So, what does it mean that Su Xiaocheng is now the imperial envoy?
The man in black's eyes gleamed: "Let me tell you another piece of news. The new emperor ascended the throne and used the courtiers who were deposed in the previous dynasty, including Su Xiaowen. The imperial envoy came here to restore Su Xiaowen and enter Beijing as an official." .”

Liu Shengyi's eyes were wide open, as if hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky, he was stunned.

This news was really unexpected and surprising.

The man in black said leisurely: "With the eyes and ears of the magistrate, he may have known about this early in the morning, and he knew that he could not prevent the case from being overturned. What can we do? We have to push the crime to the people who work below. Zhou Ming is one, and you are too." one."

Hearing this, Liu Shengyi was trembling all over, feeling that every word and every word of the other party had pierced his heart.

The man in black continued: "To shirk the crime, the people below will not accept it and will bite back. How can we be sure that nothing will go wrong? Only the dead will shut up forever, so Zhou Ming died, and you are close to death. Far."

Liu Shengyi felt that he was about to collapse, and his mouth made a "woo-woo" sound, trying to break free and say something, "I don't want to die".

The man in black smiled: "If you don't want to die, I can show you a clear path. In today's Fucheng, only the Xingyuan where the imperial envoy lives can save your life. I don't need to say more about what to do. You can do it yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and fled out of the open window, as agile as an ape.

After he left, Liu Shengyi quickly pulled the rag out of his mouth with his hands, panting heavily.I was about to go out to call someone, but after a second thought, I stopped, and lay down on the bed again, staring at the lights on the table in a daze.

These days, when he sleeps, the room has to be lighted, so that he dares to fall asleep.

The first question: the identity of the man in black.

Judging by his skill, it is obvious that he is not an idler, but a master; he is not from the government office, nor can he be Su Xiaowen's student, there is only one possibility left: the guard next to the imperial envoy.

If this is the case, Su Qin's determination to reverse the case is almost ready, and it is likely that he has already obtained a lot of evidence.

The second question: Will Gou Yan Xiuzhen attack him?
In fact, this is not a problem. Husband and wife will fly separately when disaster strikes, let alone the relationship between them?
As the man in black said, only the dead will not betray.

Gou Yanxiu's status is different, as long as the people below die, all the crimes can be pushed to the heads of the dead.It was Liu Shengyi who wrote the anti-poetry, and Zhou Ming was the one who made the false accusation. He, Gou Yanxiu, was only a person handling the case, so he could stay out of it.

If Liu Shengyi still has doubts about the one-sided statement of the man in black with unknown origin, then the death of Zhou Ming, one of the "witnesses", is the most intuitive argument.

The son of the dignified lord Bo, in his own courtyard, was served by servants and servants, but unexpectedly "slipped" and crashed into his death on the rockery. Who would believe it if he said it was an accident?

"damn it!"

The more Liu Shengyi thought about it, the more it seemed like this, and he almost went out overnight to the imperial envoy to surrender and report him.

It is difficult to get rid of the crime if you surrender yourself, but you can put the crime behind the scenes on Gou Yanxiu, saying that you were persecuted by the other party.

In this case, if you commit crimes and make meritorious service, you can at least save your life.

Thinking wildly, I didn't sleep all night, but the next day, after washing my face, I hesitated again.

Once you step out of the door and go to the imperial envoy Xingyuan to turn yourself in and report, that is to say, there is no turning back, and there is no turning back.

To go, or not to go?

Otherwise, wait and see for a day or two?

A door hurried in and reported: "Master, the government sent someone to say that the magistrate wants to invite you to go."

"what?"

Liu Shengyi immediately jumped up like a frightened mouse, and quickly waved his hands: "No, I won't go."

Then he said: "Let's say I caught a cold and couldn't get out of bed.

Menzi was stunned for a moment, but went out as instructed.

Inside the house, Liu Shengyi was terrified: "This guy surnamed Gou is really going to attack me, I can't sit still and wait for death."

Immediately made up his mind, tidied up a little, took a confidant boy, went out through the back door, and went straight to the imperial envoy's office.
