I Killed the Person

Regarding Xiao Muyun's death, Su Liang felt angry in his heart, mixed with a little guilt.

Xiao Muyun may not be a good person, but he is the original owner's favorite man, and there is no evidence to prove that he has done anything to harm the original owner.

The fact is, if Su Liang had not returned to the capital, maybe Xiao Muyun would not have died.

Thinking of this, Su Liang was even more determined to find the real culprit and never let him go!

The sound of a woman crying came from ahead. Su Liang concentrated, followed Gou Yu around a stone screen, and saw the mourning hall set up by Prime Minister Xiao's Mansion for Xiao Muyun.

The coffin is placed in the center.

Several maids and women were kneeling inside, weeping in mourning.

Prime Minister Xiao Qi, surrounded by his children and grandchildren, appeared outside the mourning hall.

"Grandpa." Duanmu Chen stepped forward.

Xiao Qi sighed deeply, "The fourth prince is here."

"What happened?" Duanmu Chen asked with a frown.

Xiao Qi looked beyond Duanmu Chen and saw Su Liang standing behind Gou Yu. He said with a cold face, "Your second cousin was killed."

Duanmu Chen also glanced at Su Liang, looked away, and lowered his voice and said to Xiao Qi, "She brought honor to the Qian Kingdom with her martial arts exam, and she saved the fifth emperor's brother a few days ago. Now she is someone whom the father values ​​​​very much. The murder case in the mansion is still It will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation, and all official matters will be handled by Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Qi frowned.

Although Xiao Muyun was a commoner, not very capable, and usually not favored, but the prime minister's grandson was killed while staying at home. If the truth can't be found out and the real culprit pays the price, how will the Xiao family's face be saved?

However, Xiao and Duanmu Chen have a community of interests, and the leadership lies in the hands of Duanmu Chen, who is becoming more and more mature.

When he spoke, the Xiao family did not dare not listen.

Xiao Qi suddenly remembered that ever since Su Liang rose to prominence in Wuju, there had been secret rumors that she and Duanmu Chen had known each other as early as Bei'an County, and that she was actually Duanmu Chen's.

In this regard, Xiao Qi once asked Duanmu Chen for confirmation in person, but Duanmu Chen denied it.

At this moment, Xiao Qi couldn't help but wonder, was Duanmu Chen doing this to protect Su Liang? Is there really no relationship between them?

Duanmu Chen's eyes were meaningful, "Grandpa, no matter what you do at any time, the premise is that you don't make your father unhappy."

Xiao Qi's eyes narrowed!

Indeed, as the first female champion in the martial arts competition of the Qian Kingdom, Su Liang had a special status and extraordinary significance by defeating the female general of the Yan Kingdom.

If her scandal were to spread at this time, it would be detrimental to Qian Guo's face.

From the Xiao family's standpoint, it doesn't matter that business is done in an official manner.

If it was initially determined that Xiao Muyun was killed by Su Liang, the final conclusion was contradictory and would not be of any benefit to the Xiao family.

After all, Xiao Muyun is dead.

The Xiao family's face needs to be found to protect the real culprit, not that the real culprit is Su Liang.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi sighed, "You are right. Let the Ministry of Punishment investigate. What should happen if it turns out to be Su Liang?"

Duanmu Chen looked calm, "Grandpa, no matter who the real culprit is, he must pay the price."

"There are some things that you will know once you see them." Xiao Qi shook his head.

Duanmu Chen frowned, "What?"

Xiao Qi asked someone to hand a stack of papers to Duanmu Chen, "I found this in Mu Yun's study."

Duanmu Chen took it and stood next to Xiao Muyun's coffin. After reading the contents on the pieces of paper, he returned them to the Xiao family.

"What else?" Duanmu Chen's face remained calm.

Xiao Qi waved his hand, and the servant presented a brocade box, which contained a blue fan pendant, silk handkerchief, and purse.

Duanmu Chen saw what it was at a glance, nodded and said nothing.

When Gou Yu saw Duanmu Chen talking to Xiao Qi, he took Su Liang and waited outside without going over.

It wasn't until Duanmu Chen looked over and Gou Yu received the instructions that he entered the mourning hall and asked Su Liang to wait outside.

Su Liang saw the look Duanmu Chen gave her, and the situation was not good.

Xiao Qi asked people to hand over all the evidence to Gou Yu and allowed the people arranged by Gou Yu to conduct an autopsy.

Su Liang just stood outside and waited.

After waiting for half an hour, Gou Yu came over and said, "Miss Su, please take out your weapons."

He said the word "please", but his tone was very strong, as if he was already seventy-eight percent convinced that Su Liang was the murderer.

The hidden weapons Su Liang usually carried during martial arts competitions were already known to everyone, and she realized that the murderer might have imitated weapons of the same shape to kill Xiao Muyun in order to frame her.

That would be really tricky.

But Su Liang still cooperated and leaned down to pull out the two sharp knives and handed them to Gou Yu.

She was so open-minded that Gou Yu was stunned for a moment. If Su Liang said he didn't bring it or lost it, Gou Yu wouldn't dare to forcefully search him.

Gou Yu took Su Liang's knife and entered the mourning hall again.

After comparison, Wu Zuo said with absolute certainty that the fatal injuries on Xiao Muyun's body were completely comparable to Su Liang's knife.

Coupled with the words written by Xiao Muyun himself, except for Su Liang, who is the most suspected, no other possible suspects can be found.

Everyone in the Xiao family said that Xiao Muyun was humble and gentle, and had no enemies.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, can I take the suspect Su Liang to the Criminal Department for interrogation?" Gou Yu asked respectfully.

Duanmu Chen snorted coldly, "Your criminal department handles cases as it should, so why are you asking me?"

Gou Yu looked stern, "After all, Miss Su is the number one scholar in today's science and martial arts."

"Since you know that she has a special status, you should know that if there is an inside story to this case and she was framed, what will happen if you take her to the Ministry of Justice and torture her?" Duanmu Chen asked calmly.

Gou Yu looked shocked.

According to the laws of the Qian Kingdom, with the current evidence, there is no problem in taking Su Liang back for interrogation, or even convicting her.

But those who can survive as errands in the capital must be smart enough. There are some people they can't afford to offend.

If the real culprit is Su Liang, then he will be arrested and there won’t be a big problem.

If it wasn't her, but she was taken to the Criminal Department, even if the real murderer was eventually found, Gou Yu would not be able to bear the responsibility of arresting the wrong person.

"I don't mean anything by saying that. Please make sure Lord Gou investigates this matter, but I would like to remind Lord Gou that although Su Zhuangyuan's weapons are very rare, most of the people in the capital have seen them. If someone deliberately framed him , will such wounds appear if similar weapons are imitated?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Gou Yu nodded, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's speculation is very reasonable."

"I just think that my father has praised Wu Zhuangyuan for being extremely smart. If he really wanted to kill people, wouldn't he use her well-known weapons? This is too stupid." Duanmu Chen said.

When Xiao Qi heard this, he also felt that something was fishy.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, are the handwriting of these documents left by Second Young Master Xiao real?" Gou Yu asked Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi told the truth, "There are no traces of forgery in the truth. Master Gou can take some of Mu Yun's past writings back to check again."

Gou Yu asked people to collect the evidence, record the testimony of the Xiao family, and then came out.

"Miss Su's weapons should be returned to their original owners." When Gou Yu asked for the weapons, he was more polite and asked, "Does Miss Su have any enemies?"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince have all proposed to marry me, but I said that I have been engaged for a long time, and they might think that I am ignorant and disrespectful."

Gou Yu's mouth twitched, "Miss Su is really good at joking. In this murder case, Miss Su is the biggest suspect, but there are still doubts. I hope that Miss Su will cooperate with the investigation of the Ministry of Justice and not go out at home at other times."

"No need to arrest me?" Su Liang was a little surprised.

Gou Yu shook his head, "No need for the moment. I will go back and report to Lord Shangshu first."

"Can I leave?" Su Liang asked.

Gou Yu nodded.

Su Liang turned to leave, then turned back, "Can you show me the evidence?"

Gou Yu refused, "Please Miss Su, please don't embarrass me."

Su Liang waved his hand and left.

In fact, she wanted to take a look at Xiao Muyun's body, but she didn't have the chance.

…

Su Liang left Xiao Mansion on horseback and on her way home, she found that more people were talking about her.

Not long after she got the news, it spread all over the city. It is absolutely impossible to say that no one was secretly fueling the situation.

Su Liang felt that she owed Duanmu Chen another favor. He must have said something for her, otherwise she would have been on her way to the Prison Department Prison.

Su Liang ignored the rumors. When he returned home, he found that all his friends were here.

Lin Shuzhi was sitting in the courtyard, with his son and son-in-law next to him.

Wan Hui, Lin Xueqing and Qin Yujin were both invited into Su Liang's room by Ning Jing.

Seeing Su Liang back, Lin Shuzhi breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, "Girl Liang, are you okay?"

Su Liang shook his head and said, "There's something wrong. The weapon used to kill the second son of the Xiao family is perfectly compatible with my knife, and he also wrote something that pointed to me."

Xing Yusheng frowned, "Could it be the second prince?"

Everyone thinks that the person most likely to frame Su Liang is Duanmu Ao.

Su Liang felt the same way.

"Even if Sister Su wants to kill someone, she can't use a knife that everyone knows, right? This is frame-up!" Lin Xueqing was very angry.

Lin Boyan sighed, "But there's no guarantee that someone won't say that Xiaoliang did the opposite and deliberately used this method to create a sign that others framed her. In fact, it was her who did it."

Su Liang smiled when he heard this, "What Brother Lin said is not impossible."

Qin Yujin sighed, "Sister Liang, how long has it been, and you can still laugh?"

Su Liang was very calm, "Or do you want to see me cry? It's time now. Let's go back first. Don't worry. No one can do anything to me for what I haven't done."

"Where is Senior Brother Ning?" Lin Xueqing found that Ning Jing was nowhere to be seen.

A calm voice came from the room, "Looking for me?"

Lin Xueqing frowned, "Senior Brother Ning, what's the matter with you? Sister Su is in such big trouble, and you don't even accompany her?"

"She didn't let me go." Ning Jing said.

Nian Jincheng: ...No wonder Ning Jing hasn't been able to warm Su Liang's bed so far. If Su Liang doesn't hit him like this, it would be great!

Su Liang smiled and said, "Yes, I won't let him go. I don't know why I got very annoyed when I saw him today."

Lin Xueqing held her forehead, "You haven't even gotten married yet, are you already annoyed, Sister Su? It's so frustrating."

"Okay, okay, you go back first. If you need any help, I won't be polite." Su Liang said with a smile.

Xing Yusheng sighed, "That's what you said. If you have any trouble, just go to my dad. He likes you very much."

Su Liang: ...What's going on with the look like "You can trick me dad any way you want"?

After finally persuading all his friends to leave, Su Liang entered Ningjing's room and saw him sitting in the inner room reading a book, while Nian Jincheng was still lying down.

"Actually, this matter is very simple. You are getting married anyway. You don't care what outsiders think. Just say that you have slept together. An Ning, you can testify for Su Liang that she was at home last night." Nian Jincheng Look serious.

"No." Ning Jing shook his head, "I'm not that kind of person."

Nian Jincheng:......

Su Liang was thoughtful, "I'm just curious, what did Xiao Muyun write, is it really written by him?" Tonight she had to secretly ask Duanmu Chen, he had read it.

Who knew that when Su Liang returned to her room to drink a glass of water, another officer and soldier came to the door.

It was still Gou Yu who led the team.

"According to the order of the Minister, I came to arrest Su Liang, the suspect in the murder of Master Xiao Muyun in the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Gou Yu said coldly, "Please cooperate with Miss Su!"

Su Liang heard that it seemed that the officials above Gou Yu wanted to arrest her.

This is really a bit troublesome. If she resists or escapes, it will only confirm her guilt. But she was shackled and taken away, and her movements were restricted. If someone wanted to kill her, she would have no chance to resist.

"Wait a minute." Ning Jing walked out of the room.

"Master Ning, do you have anything to say?" Gou Yu asked.

"She was at home all night and didn't go out. I can testify." Ning Jing looked calm.

"But Miss Su has said that you didn't sleep together." Gou Yu snorted.

Ning Jing nodded, "Indeed. But we didn't sleep last night."

Gou Yu frowned, "Not sleeping? What were you doing?"

Ning Jing said, "Fishing."

Gou Yu's face was a little dark, obviously not believing it.

Ning Jing explained, "In the mansion, we can always hear people crying in the middle of the night recently. We suspect that someone is secretly causing trouble. We didn't sleep last night and wanted to find out."

Gou Yu looked at Su Liang with an inexplicable expression, "Is what Mr. Ning said true?"

Su Liang sighed, "After all, it's not a good thing to have a haunted house. I didn't want to mention it."

"Please ask Miss Su to follow me to the Ministry of Justice first!" Gou Yu was a little polite again.

"You can cooperate with the investigation, but if you treat her as a criminal before finding out the truth, you can't afford the consequences!" Ning Jing said coldly.

Gou Yu saw the cold light in Ning Jing's eyes, and his heart suddenly frightened. He nodded subconsciously, "Don't worry, Mr. Ning, we will find out the truth and will never wrongly accuse a good person."

"Ministry of Justice, I will go with you. I know everything about her." Ning Jing said.

Gou Yu frowned, "Mr. Ning, this is not in accordance with the rules. I can't explain to Minister Mei when I go back."

Mei... Su Liang remembered that Duanmu Ao's second prince's wife was named Mei.

"If it was because she had a relationship with Xiao Muyun, I killed for love, so I am more suspicious, right? As for the weapon, Su Liang's double swords were given by me." Ning Jing's face was calm.

Gou Yu was stunned for a moment, "This... If it was done by Mr. Ning, why did he use Miss Su's weapon?"

"If it was done by her, why did she use her own weapon?" Ning Jing asked back.

Gou Yu's face froze, and he said awkwardly, "This is a suspicious point that needs to be clarified."

"Then please investigate it clearly before arresting people." Ning Jing said coldly, "If Lord Gou must take people back today to report, I will surrender myself. I killed the person."

Gou Yu's face was ugly, "Mr. Ning, don't make such a joke. Miss Su is a martial arts expert, and Mr. Ning is a top scholar. How could he sneak into Xiao's house in the middle of the night to kill people?"

"Money makes the devil push the mill." Ning Jing's face was indifferent, "I want to hire a master, it's easy."

Gou Yu's face sank, "Mr. Ning, I ask again, are you sure you want to surrender yourself?"

Ning Jing nodded, "Yes."

Gou Yu looked at Su Liang, "Miss Su, don't you have anything to say?"

Su Liang's face was calm, "We went fishing together until dawn last night. It doesn't matter whether you arrest me or him. Since he wants to visit the Ministry of Justice, please take care of him, Lord Gou."

Ning Jing was taken away by Gou Yu.

Su Liang watched them leave, his face darkened, and he turned and went into Ning Jing's room.

Nian Jincheng heard what happened outside, and when he saw Su Liang, he said, "A Ling obviously cares about you, but she refuses to admit it."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

Nian Jincheng sighed slightly, "What are you thinking about?"

Su Liang was thoughtful, "The other party came for me, that Minister Mei and the second prince..."

"The Minister of the Ministry of Justice is the second prince's father-in-law now." Nian Jincheng said.

Su Liang's eyes turned cold, "That's right. If I go to the Ministry of Justice, I may not survive tonight, and I can pretend to commit suicide out of fear of crime. Ning Jing surrenders himself, which can completely disrupt the other party's plan."

"But you have to rescue him as soon as possible." Nian Jincheng said.

Su Liang nodded, "Of course."

After speaking, Su Liang walked out, and Nian Jincheng asked her what she was going to do.

Su Liang didn't look back, "Cook and send it to my wronged fiancé."
