conspiracy crime 4

Chapter 19
Su Bi'e recognized at a glance that this was her elder brother Su Bicheng whom she hadn't seen in three years. Feeling agitated, she suddenly took two steps forward and tightly grasped his hand.

Surprised, Su Bicheng hurriedly stood up, took a step back, looked at her and asked, "Are you..."

Seeing Uncle Shu Gen standing at the door, Su Bi'e was inconvenient to speak out, she hesitated to speak, she just rolled up the sleeve of her left hand, raised her wrist and waved it in front of her elder brother.She wears a jade bracelet on her wrist, which was a wedding gift from her elder brother and sister-in-law when she got married.

When Su Bicheng saw it, it was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. Not only did his face change drastically, but even his voice trembled. He stared at her with wide eyes and said, "Ah? You, you are..."

Su Bi'e was afraid that he might miss something, so she hurriedly glanced at Shugen, the old servant standing at the door, with signal eyes.

Su Bicheng hurriedly waved the old gardener away, then closed the door, stared at her and asked in a trembling voice: "You, who are you?"

Su Bi'e hurriedly took off the decoration on her face, straightened her back, revealed her true colors, and shouted, "Brother, you don't know me anymore, I'm your sister Bi'e."

"Bi, Bi'e?" Su Bicheng was so frightened that he sat down on the chair, and couldn't even speak much, "You, haven't you already... Are you, are you a human or a ghost?"

Su Bi'e said: "Of course I'm human." Knowing that he couldn't accept it for a while, she sat down and told him in detail how she eloped with Zhou Hanshan three years ago.

After hearing this, Su Bicheng opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise: "You, what you said is true? Are you really not dead? You, are you really my sister Bi'e?"

Su Bi'e nodded seriously, and said: "I'm telling the truth, brother, it's really your sister Bi'e who has returned."

"Really, it's Bi'e back?!" Su Bicheng finally believed it, sat on the chair and looked her up and down, his eyes turned red, and waved to her, "Good girl, I haven't seen each other for three years, come here quickly Let me take a good look."

When Su Bi'e heard that he finally recognized each other, she felt a surge of excitement, and her eye circles turned red. She hurried up to him and called out, "Brother." Tears couldn't stop streaming down.

Unexpectedly, just after the "Brother" yelled, Su Bicheng suddenly raised his arm, and slapped her hard across the face.She was taken aback by the beating, covered her burning face and said, "Brother, you, why did you beat me?"

"Why hit you? Why hit you? You should ask yourself."

Su Bicheng suddenly jumped up from the chair, grabbed her and dragged her to the back of a bookcase.There is a door behind the bookcase, open the door, there is a main room inside, on the hall there is a spirit card, which says "Test the spirit position of Lord Runmo first".

Su Bicheng shouted: "Kneel down."

Facing her father's spiritual tablet, Su Bi'e's legs trembled and she knelt down involuntarily.

Su Bicheng pointed at her and cursed: "You bastard, you have the face to come back after doing such a disqualification thing? Why don't you just beat yourself to death outside?"

Su Bi'e's face was flushed, cold sweat was streaming down her back, her eyes were filled with tears, and she dared not speak.

Su Bicheng beat his chest and stomped his feet and said: "Do you know that we all thought you were killed by Qin Jutian, and your father passed away in a fit of anger. I couldn't bear the anger and sued Qin Jutian to the government, which not only caused him to be chopped down by the government In the end, it caused the Qin family to be ruined, but you are still living in the world in a disgraceful way... Oh, God misunderstood me! The Qin family died in vain, Qin Ming is still in prison, and Qin Yue has a family I can't return, I'm running around, and my whereabouts are still unknown. It turns out that this is a huge case of injustice... I'm sorry for Qin Jutian, I'm sorry for the Qin family. I, Su Bicheng, have read sage books all my life, but now I'm making such false accusations of virtuous people and misleading others In matters of life, you, what kind of face do you want me to survive in this world? The bitch misled me, God misunderstood me!" At this point, he suddenly fell to the ground and burst into tears.

Seeing her brother in such grief and grief, Su Bi'e couldn't help but feel ashamed and ashamed, her heart was like a knife, and she regretted it.Su Bicheng cried for a while in front of his father's coffin, suddenly remembered something, didn't even bother to wipe away his tears, and dragged her to go out the door.

Su Bi'e was taken aback and asked, "Brother, where are you taking me?"

Su Bicheng said: "This matter is all caused by you, I will take you to the magistrate's yamen immediately, and ask the magistrate to overturn the case and redress the Qin family's grievances."

Su Bi'e hurriedly broke free from his hand, stomped her feet and said, "No, brother, we can't go to see Tong Zhifu."

Su Bicheng wondered: "Why? Don't you want to clear the Qin family's grievances?"

Su Bi'e said angrily: "I just want to reveal the truth to the world and return the Qin family's innocence, so I can't go to see Tong Zhifu, let alone let him know that I have returned to the Su family's mansion."

Seeing that her elder brother was full of surprise, she took Tong Ziang to cover up the truth, to preserve her reputation as an upright official, and to preserve her bright future, and sent killers to chase her down along the way. Yi Rong told her about the fact that she was able to escape back to her hometown to see her relatives.

After hearing this, Su Bicheng raised his thick eyebrows, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Is this really the case? This dog official, in order to get promoted, actually did such a thing like buying murder and killing people knowingly and breaking the law to cover it up. Men, what should I do? This unjust case of the Qin family can be said to be entirely caused by me. If I hadn't really thought that you had been harmed by Qin Jutian, I went to Beijing to sue and frequently imposed pressure on the magistrate's yamen. Pressure, how could it be... Sigh, the matter has come to this point, how can I ignore it? If I don't return the Qin family's innocence, how can I, Su Bicheng, be at ease? How can I be at ease?"

After hearing what her brother said, Su Bi'e was extremely moved.

She also knew that if her elder brother really wanted to overturn the case for the Qin family, and after the matter was thoroughly investigated, it would be difficult for him to get rid of the crime of false accusation. Not only would his reputation be ruined, but he might even be in danger of being imprisoned, but he completely ignored it.

She couldn't help feeling relieved, and said: "When I parted with Qin Yue in the morning, she told me that after I return to the Su family mansion to see you, I will stay at home temporarily and don't show my face outside, so as not to be alerted by Tong Ziang. Disastrous to the Su family. In a few days, I will be able to go out as soon as Mr. Wei Zaihou, the patrol censor, arrives. The "Qin Jutian Murder of His Wife Case" has already caused a lot of noise in the city, and as long as I Appearing, the resurrection of the 'dead' will inevitably cause a stir in the city, and there will be another storm. Even if we don't report Tong Ziang, the inspector censor will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. In this way, not only can the facts be clarified for Qin The family can overturn the case, and Tong Ziang can also be convicted, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Su Bicheng nodded and said: "Qin Yue is still a smart girl, this idea is good, then you can rest assured to stay here, as soon as the inspector censor arrives, we can act accordingly. I will send someone to marry you off The house where I lived at home is cleaned up so that you can rest. You have been running around all day, are you already hungry? I will ask a reliable girl to bring some food."

Seeing that her elder brother was sincerely willing to help the Qin family reverse the case and redress their grievances, Su Bi'e felt a huge stone fall from her heart.

In fact, when the boatman rowed the awning boat into the reeds to hide, Qin Yue had already folded a hollow grass and hid it on her body, so when she was stabbed into the water by Ye Fenghou's sword, she immediately took advantage of the muddy water. Lang Zhuo quietly put one end of the hollow grass out of the water, lurking under the water and holding the other end in his mouth. The hollow grass is like a pipe, just enough for her to breathe the outside air.First, the surface of the river was turbid, and second, reeds were overgrown with weeds in the water, so Ye Fenghou didn't notice it.

Although she was hit by a sword in her chest and blood stained the river, her injuries were not fatal. She quietly lurked at the bottom of the river, listening to the sound of water coming from the river. After a while, she heard a few sounds of water, knowing that Ye Fenghou Thinking that she died at the bottom of the river, she swung the boat out of the reeds, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly poked her head out of the water, through the dense reeds, vaguely saw Ye Fenghou's boat approaching the shore through the gap.

She pushed aside the reeds and swam silently to the shore for more than a foot.

At this moment, Ye Fenghou, who had already abandoned his boat and landed, suddenly stopped and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing sneaking there, get out of here quickly."

Qin Yue was taken aback. She didn't expect that she was so careful, but she was discovered by him. She groaned secretly in her heart, and was about to swim to the shore when she heard the sound of footsteps on the shore, and a person flashed out from behind a big tree. , deer-headed mouse-eyed, left sleeve is empty, it is actually Yao San, Tong Ziang's henchman, the head catcher of Qingyang magistrate's yamen.

Qin Yue knew that Ye Fenghou hadn't found her, so she was relieved, and she poked her head out to peek quietly and wait and see what happened.

I saw Ye Fenghou approaching Yao San and said coldly: "Yao Butou, did Tong Zhifu send you to monitor Ye?"

Yao San felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he hurriedly laughed dryly and said, "Brother Ye, you are too suspicious, Master Tong was afraid that you would not be able to handle it alone, so he sent his subordinates to follow you to see if there is anything that needs help place, there is no intention of surveillance."

While wiping the blood on the sword, Ye Fenghou said calmly: "So that's the case, then I would like to thank Catcher Yao for his kindness. Su Bi'e has already died by my sword, and it seems that Catcher Yao can't help much. "

Yao Sandao: "I saw with my own eyes that that bitch was stabbed by you in the water and sank to the bottom of the river. Brother Ye did a good job. I will go back to Qingyang Zhifu Yamen to report to Mr. Tong. This is 3000 taels of silver. It's Master Tong's reward to Brother Ye, please accept it." He took out a stack of bank notes and handed it to him, then pulled out a horse from behind the big tree, rode on it and said "goodbye", and called Ma went to Qingyang Mansion to announce the good news to Tong Zhifu.

Holding the bank note in his hand, Ye Fenghou watched him gallop away, suddenly grunted and sneered twice, stretched out his hand and tore off the black cloth covering his face and threw it on the ground.

Qin Yue opened her eyes wide and looked at him. When she saw his young and sharp face, she suddenly opened her mouth wide, stunned: How could it be Master?

Qin Yue's master's surname is Jiang, and his name is Jiang Jianhan. He is 28 years old this year, and his martial arts comes from the Wuyi School in Fujian.

When Jiang Jianhan was 20 years old, he walked the rivers and lakes with a sword. In Cangwu County, Guangxi, he accidentally killed a gangster by mistake and was sentenced to death.

It just so happened that Su Bicheng went to Wuzhou for a visit, passed by Cangwu, and witnessed him beating up injustices and punishing scoundrels, and deeply admired his chivalrous feelings. It happened that Song Congyu, the county magistrate of Cangwu County, was his classmate and friend when he was in Beijing. So he interceded on his behalf, gave him a lighter sentence, and changed the death penalty to a hundred sticks.

Jiang Jianhan recovered his life, as if he was reincarnated, and vowed to follow Su Bicheng all his life, in order to repay the great kindness of saving his life.

Although Su Bicheng is a scholar, he is very famous among scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. He expected that sooner or later he would be reused by the imperial court and go to Beijing as an official.

The year Jiang Jianhan came to the Su family, Qin Yue was just ten years old.

At this time, she has learned some basic skills from her father. This little girl who likes to dance swords and swords on weekdays is eager to learn from famous teachers. After hearing about Jiang Jianhan's deeds from her uncle, she also saw Jiang Jianhan fighting with the martial arts master of the Su family mansion at her uncle's house. When it comes to martial arts, he can beat his opponent to pieces with just three or two moves, and he is even more envious, so he immediately clamored to worship him as his teacher.

Jiang Jianhan saw that she was smart and well-founded, and she was a material for learning martial arts, so he nodded and accepted this little apprentice, and taught her swordsmanship for five years in a row.

But he didn't know that this female apprentice who was ten years younger than him, as she got older, she fell in love with his young, courageous and enthusiastic master with a girlish heart.

Three years ago, Su Bi'e disappeared for no reason, and the body of an unknown woman was found in Meijiakeng. The Qin and Su families went to court because of this. master.Now she finds out that the Jianghu killer who came to hunt and kill his mother, who was bribed by Tong Ziang, sealed his throat with a sword, turned out to be faked by her own master. She couldn't help being shocked, and secretly frowned: Why did he do this?Was he also involved in this matter?

Just when she was wondering, Jiang Jianhan suddenly sighed, looked into the distance and muttered: "Su Xianggong actually sent me to kill his own sister, alas!" With a long sigh, he shook his head and strode forward. leave.

Qin Yue hid in the reeds near the shore, and when she heard his last words, her heart was shocked: it turned out that uncle sent him to pretend to be a Jianghu killer to kill my mother.But how could uncle do this?My mother is his own sister, even if he is afraid that my mother will overturn the case for the Qin family and he will not be freed from the crime of false accusation, then he will not want to kill his own sister.Is there something else hidden here?Could it be that he...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel tight: No, my mother is afraid that she will be in danger!
She hurriedly swam ashore, bandaged the wound hastily, and with a whistling sound, she attracted the white horse that had been walking in sync with her black-covered boat on the shore. Regardless of her wet body, she immediately turned on the horse, turned the horse's head, whipped the horse, and walked from the path Go straight to Qingyang City.

When the white horse was gone, Jiang Jianhan suddenly turned out from behind the tree, looked at her receding back, smiled wryly, and sighed deeply: "Silly girl, if I wanted to kill you, the sword would have already pierced you!" How can you survive if your heart is pierced? Alas, this is all I can help you with as a master and apprentice, so hurry up and save your mother."

The next morning, when Yao San, chief arrester of Qingyang prefect's yamen, woke up, his head was still aching.

Because Mr. Wei, the inspector censor, has already left Fuzhou and is on his way to Qingyang. It is estimated that he will arrive within a few days. Tong Ziang is very worried that Su Bi'e, a confidant, will suddenly appear and destroy at the critical moment of Mr. Wei's arrival. Because of his good deeds, he has been worried and has trouble sleeping and eating.

Yesterday evening, I heard that Yao Sanfei came to report that Su Bi'e was disposed of by Marquis Ye Feng in the Yangtze River, and even the body sank to the bottom of the river to feed the fish. A piece of gold, and promised that after he was promoted to be an official in Huguang, he would definitely take him to Wuchang and recommend him to the imperial court for the post of Qianshi.

Yao San was so happy that he got so drunk that when he got up the next morning, his head was still a little dizzy.

But when he opened the door of his house, his dizzy head suddenly woke up, because he suddenly found that there was a person lying at the door of his house, and it was also a woman.

He secretly wondered, wiped his eyes, and carefully approached for a look, but jumped up with a frightened "Ah", the woman lying at the door of his house was none other than Su Bi'e who had died in the Yangtze River.After calming down, I dared to take a closer look, and saw that although her face was pale and her eyes were closed tightly, she was still warm and breathing smoothly. It seemed that she was just in a coma, not dead, let alone a ghost coming for revenge.

Yao San restrained his pounding heart, tried his best to calm himself down, thinking to himself, what is going on here?I clearly saw with my own eyes that this woman was killed by Ye Fenghou and her body sank to the bottom of the water, how did she come back to life?Even if Su Bi'e was not dead, how could she lie unconscious in front of my house?This, how can this be done?
He was startled and anxious, at a loss what to do, and finally thought, no matter what, he should tell the magistrate first.He looked around, but it was still early in the morning, and there were no pedestrians on the road. He called out "God help me", and hurriedly dragged Su Bi'e across the threshold and put him in his home. He was afraid that she would wake up and run away, so he hurriedly found a piece of hemp The rope tied her whole body tightly.Only then did he lock the gate and hurried to the magistrate's yamen.

When Tong Zhifu heard that Su Bi'e was still alive and passed out at the door of Yao San's house, he couldn't help being surprised and happy. The surprise was that Su Bi'e came back from the dead, and the joy was that she had thrown herself into a trap.He didn't care about blaming Yao San for falsely reporting the news yesterday, so he hurriedly asked him to bring a few trusted yamen servants and a big sack to arrest Su Bi'e to the yamen, and repeatedly told him to act quietly so that no one would see him.

Yao San wanted to make amends, and immediately returned home with four wolves and tigers.

At this time Su Bi'e was still awake and unconscious.

Yao San hurriedly ordered someone to put her into a sack, sealed the mouth of the sack, leaving only a small hole to let out the air, and then carried the sack into the prefect's yamen signing room.

Tong Zhifu has already been waiting in the signing room.

In the past, when Qin Jutian was the head arrester of the magistrate's yamen, Tong Zhifu had seen his wife, so as soon as Yao Sangang dragged Su Bi'e out of the sack, who was unconscious and tied with a rope, he immediately recognized that this woman was indeed Duo Ri Su Bi'e, a confidant who came to disturb his restlessness and trouble sleeping and eating.

I didn't even bother to think about who Su Bi'e was who was killed in the Yangtze River by Ye Fenghou since Su Bi'e appeared here alive. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: God helped me, and he quickly "dealt with" her so that no future troubles would ever arise.

He ordered Yao San to splash her with cold water to wake her up. Yao San was afraid that she would ruin the prefect's affairs by shouting and screaming after she woke up, so he wrapped a walnut in a rag to plug her mouth, and then took a bucket of cold water. Splash it straight on her.

Su Bi'e shuddered, woke up slowly from the coma, opened her eyes slightly, and vaguely saw a few men standing in front of her, she couldn't help being startled, she hurriedly opened her eyes, but she recognized the two people standing in front were The magistrate Tong Ziang and the head catcher Yao San did not know each other, but they didn't know each other behind them. They turned their eyes slightly, and saw that the surrounding air was gloomy, and there were many blood-stained instruments of torture on the ground, which was shocking.

Shocked, she suddenly came to full consciousness and struggled to stand up, only to find that her body was tightly bound and she couldn't even move. She opened her mouth to shout, but something was stuffed in her mouth No sound came out either.
