Death of Ning Jing

Ning Jing heard a cold laugh from the next door, two men were talking.

"Why did you choose Su Liang, that bitch, when you can choose anyone else? Humph!"

"I thought he had experts to protect him, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth!"

"Did he send experts to protect Su Liang? That's what he deserves, hehe."

"Will Su Liang suspect that it was the master..."

"What evidence does she have? Let's go!"

...

The next door returned to peace.

Ning Jing waited for about a quarter of an hour before it passed.

He entered from the back window, and a strong smell of blood hit him, as well as a faint aroma of intoxication.

After taking an antidote made by Su Liang, he saw the scapegoat he arranged by him in the moonlight.

The man's lower body was on the bed, his upper body was hanging down, his head was on the ground, and his waist was cut several times, almost split in half.

The bright red blood flowed on the ground, forming a large dark lake.

Ning Jing stood in a clean corner and didn't go over. He could see two obvious bloody footprints on the ground.

In addition to the wound on the waist, the chest was pierced.

A large blood stain was splashed on one side of the bed curtain, covering the blood spots left by the assassin when he came that night.

Ning Jing avoided the blood stains, approached, cut off the man's two hands at the wrist, grabbed one of the hands, dipped in his blood, and wrote a "Sheng" on the inner bed sheet. He didn't finish writing it, two strokes short.

Then, Ning Jing tore off a piece of bed curtain, wrapped up the two hands, and left the scene of the tragedy.

He went out of the house, and when he came back, he had nothing in his hands.

...

It was dawn.

The door of the Su Mansion was closed, and passers-by would take a look, but no one noticed anything wrong. Su Liang's house was very big, but only she and Ning Jing lived there. She was not at home, and Ning Jing didn't go out much.

Today's weather was gloomy, and dark clouds gathered for a while, as if a thunderstorm was coming.

The carriage of the Marquis of Zhongxin stopped outside the Su Mansion, and Qi Jun was the driver. There was another large carriage behind, which Qi Yan drove, pulling a pomegranate tree with gnarled branches. Several servants followed the carriage to support it, blocking the entire alley.

"Master, it seems that Mr. Ning did not go to the Ministry of Revenue today, and the door was locked from the inside." Qi Jun jumped off the carriage. He had been a substitute for Ning Jing for a period of time, and knew Ning Jing's daily activities, so he was a little strange. Today was not a holiday, and Ning Jing would lock the door from the outside whenever he went out.

Xing Yusheng lifted the curtain of the carriage, "Maybe he asked for leave? It's better for him to be at home, pull the tree in. I mentioned it to him yesterday, I don't know if he has chosen a place to plant it."

Qi Jun jumped over the high courtyard wall and pulled the bolt from the inside.

Xing Yusheng got off the car and walked in.

Qi Yan led a group of servants from the Xing family, slowly pulling the cart and transporting the pomegranate tree into the door.

"Go directly to the garden!" Xing Yusheng ordered, "I'll go find Ning Jing to see if he's there."

Qi Yan led people to deliver the tree, and Qi Jun followed Xing Yusheng to the main courtyard.

When entering the courtyard, Xing Yusheng also joked, "I heard that my father-in-law gave Ning a good lesson last night, asking him to be more careful about marriage, otherwise he would become a monk!"

The flowers in the garden of the Zhongxin Marquis's Mansion are in full bloom, and there are quite a few rare varieties in the capital. Xing Yusheng went to pick flowers early in the morning for several days in a row, and then personally delivered them to Lin Xueqing, and today was no exception.

Originally, Xing Yusheng wanted to take Lin Xueqing out to deliver the tree to Ning Jing, but Lin Xueqing said that she had an appointment with her two sisters-in-law to go shopping.

Ning Jing was scolded by Lin Shuzhi last night, and it was naturally Lin Xueqing who told Xing Yusheng in a joking manner.

The smile on Qi Jun's face suddenly froze when he saw a glaring bloodstain under the eaves. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted, "Mr. Ning!"

"Why are you shouting so loudly? He's not deaf!" Xing Yusheng said, and took two steps forward. He also saw the bloodstain under the corridor, and his expression changed drastically, "Ning Jing!"

The two rushed over, Qi Jun pulled Xing Yusheng behind him, and kicked open the half-closed door of Ning Jing's room.

A cool breeze blew.

The blood all over the room made Xing Yusheng almost faint at a glance.

Qi Jun rushed in, walked around the screen, saw the body in the pool of blood beside the bed, and called out, "Mr. Ning!"

"Impossible... This is impossible!" Xing Yusheng stood in the pool of blood with a pale face, looking at the shocking body, shaking his head constantly, "He was very powerful, how could he die... That's not him... It must not be Ning Jing! Ah Jun, go and have a look, it's not him, right?"

But from the perspective of the two people, it can be clearly seen that the face with closed eyes on the ground is undoubtedly Ning Jing.

Xing Yusheng's sight moved and saw the arm soaked in blood, with no hand on it...

He held on to the table next to him to avoid fainting.

Qi Jun approached with a pale face and found that the other arm of the body also had no hand, and it was chopped off.

Then, Qi Jun saw the blurred handwriting on the bed sheet stained with blood, and his body trembled violently, blurting out, "It was the eldest prince who did it!"

Xing Yusheng rushed over, followed Qi Jun's line of sight, and also saw the bloody word that was missing two strokes, and instantly his blood rushed up, "He is looking for death! Looking for death! Looking for death!"

Although Ning Jing has never given him a good face since he met Xing Yusheng, and it is a daily routine to confront him.

But Xing Yusheng knows that Ning Jing treats him as a friend. Although he also likes to complain about Ning Jing, this is one of his most important friends.

The night before yesterday when Ning Jing came back, an assassin sent by Duanmu Che almost killed Qi Jun. Xing Yusheng knew about this. At that time, he also said that those who wanted to kill Ning Jing should let them go, and Ning Jing would definitely send them to hell.

But he never expected that Ning Jing would die just like that? !

Until Qi Jun dragged him out of the bloody room, Xing Yusheng was still confused and couldn't believe what he had just seen.

"Subordinates will report to the Ministry of Justice!" Qi Jun's eyes were red before he finished speaking.

Xing Yusheng looked back, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, "I want to go to the palace! I want to go to the palace and tell the emperor! It was his son who took advantage of Su Liang's absence to kill Ning Jing!"

Qi Yan walked in briskly and asked with a smile, "The tree was pulled into the garden, and Master Ning is not here?"

"Let them all go back, Ah Yan, you watch here! Ah Jun, you go to the Ministry of Justice! I want to go to the palace!" Xing Yusheng's voice choked, and he hurried out after he finished speaking.

Qi Yan looked puzzled, "What are you going to the Ministry of Justice for?"

Qi Jun took a deep breath and shook his head with an unpleasant expression, "Brother, you will know if you go to the door and take a look." He then caught up with Xing Yusheng and left.

Qi Yan walked to the corridor with an inexplicable look on his face, frowned at the bloodstains on the ground, and when he saw the situation in the room, he widened his eyes in disbelief, "Mr. Ning!"

...

When the officials of the Ministry of Justice received the news of Ning Jing's murder, they all doubted their ears.

The brutal murder of an official of the imperial court at home was definitely a major case. Almost all the members of the Ministry of Justice were dispatched and hurried to the Su Mansion.

The news spread quickly that the top scholar Ning Jing was killed at home last night.

The whole city was shocked.

Lin Xueqing, who was shopping, heard Ning Jing's name from a passerby. At first, she didn't hear what was going on. After hearing it clearly, she was stunned and didn't believe it at all. She rushed to the Su Mansion regardless of anything.

Xing Yusheng knelt outside the palace gate in broad daylight to ask for an audience with the emperor.

When Duanmu Yi received the report, he didn't know what Xing Yusheng was going to do at first, so he asked someone to check and reply quickly.

When he learned that Ning Jing was dead, Duanmu Yi's pen rolled to the ground and he was silent for a long time.

In the end, Duanmu Yi did not allow Xing Yusheng to enter the palace, but sent someone to tell him that the Ministry of Justice would handle the case impartially, find out the truth, and let him go back immediately.

Xing Yusheng had a hunch that Duanmu Yi knew that Ning Jing's death was related to his son and wanted to cover up Duanmu Sheng. He wanted to kneel and not leave, but then he thought that someone might destroy the evidence, so he hurried back to the Su Mansion.

Duanmu Yi learned that Xing Yusheng had left, and his face was dark, so he asked someone to call Duanmu Chen over.

Duanmu Chen, who had been living in seclusion recently, had just received the news that Ning Jing was dead. He felt that it was unlikely and wanted to go and see, but it was not good to show up at this time.

Someone came from the palace, so Duanmu Chen hurried into the palace.

When Duanmu Yi saw Duanmu Chen, he mentioned Ning Jing, but he did not doubt the truth of Ning Jing's death, but just asked who he thought would kill Ning Jing?

Duanmu Chen lowered his eyes, "Son, I dare not say."

Duanmu Yi snorted, "Just say it!"

Duanmu Chen sighed deeply, "Son, I don't know how Lord Ning died, but if I want to talk about who is suspicious, I think that the eldest brother, the Wan family and... the fifth brother, all have the motive to kill Ning Jing."

Duanmu Sheng and Su Liang have a big grudge, Duanmu Yi knows it very well. Su Liang is not in the capital, if she kills her fiancé Ning Jing, it can be said to be the most cruel way to retaliate against her.

Although Duanmu Yi arranged for the Wan family to fall to this point, it was Su Liang who really suppressed the Wan family without any ability to fight back. And Duanmu Yi had guessed that Wan Shan's "stroke" was caused by Su Liang.

The Wan family couldn't kill Su Liang, so they chose to kill Ning Jing to vent their anger, and their motives were very clear.

Duanmu Che did some stupid things because he wanted to get Su Liang, showing his unscrupulous side. If he didn't give up on Su Liang, it would be reasonable for him to get rid of Ning Jing, the obstacle.

"I thought that with Ning Jing's wealth, there must be experts around to protect her." Duanmu Yi said with a cold face.

Duanmu Chen sighed deeply again, "My father said that Su Liang did things after arriving in Xuanbei City, and I guessed that she had experts around her to help her, otherwise it wouldn't be so smooth. Now it seems that Ning Jing may have sent his guardian to protect Su Liang."

Since he met Ning Jing, Duanmu Chen has always suspected that he is not just a scholar, but there is no evidence. The possibility that Ning Jing has experts around him is much greater than the possibility that he, a young man from a merchant family who was originally bullied and expelled from his home, is a top master himself.

Just to say one thing, martial arts cannot be mastered in a year or two. It is impossible that Ning Jing was originally very powerful but endured the bullying and persecution of those bastards, and suddenly changed his mind one day to kill back.

Therefore, Duanmu Yi had previously believed that Ning Jing was able to take back the Ning family because he got help from a master after he fell into poverty.

Even Duanmu Chen thought that Ning Jing should be really dead after he finished speaking his guess.

He initially suspected that it was a fake death, but now the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible. Originally, Ning Jing and Su Liang were going to get married. And where can you find a corpse that looks exactly like him?

"Wan Cong." Duanmu Yi looked at Duanmu Chen and said two words.

Duanmu Chen immediately understood. Whether it was Duanmu Sheng or Duanmu Che who did it, for the sake of the royal family's face, they could not be related to them, so Wan Shan's eldest son Wan Cong was the best candidate for the "murderer". Wan Cong was originally a major suspect, and even if he didn't do it, there had to be "conclusive evidence."

"I will arrange it right away." Duanmu Chen said respectfully, "But I heard that it was Xing Shizi who first discovered Lord Ning's body. If he saw anything, he would definitely tell Su Liang."

"I will send someone to call her back. She is a smart person and knows what to do." Duanmu Chen said coldly, "If she doesn't take the royal family and me seriously, she is useless. You go. When you see Xing Yusheng, tell him not to talk nonsense."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Duanmu Chen turned around after saluting, his face sank.

Although Wan Cong was very suspicious, he didn't think it was Wan Cong. The person he suspected most of killing Ning Jing was Duanmu Che...

But it was obvious that Duanmu Yi still had to protect Duanmu Che and Duanmu Sheng, whom he had long given up.

When he walked out of the imperial study, Duanmu Chen was thinking about a question. Duanmu Yi arranged the "murderer" candidate without knowing the truth. Did he really care about his two sons, or was it just for the face of the royal family?

Duanmu Chen sighed. After Duanmu Ao died, he had always been a little scared, thinking that Duanmu Sheng's faction would definitely kill him, and even Duanmu Che would not tolerate him.

There were indeed troubles in the middle, but he was now protected by masters and nothing happened.

He never expected that Ning Jing would die.

Duanmu Chen didn't know how Su Liang would react when he learned that Ning Jing was in trouble. Even if he suspected that Su Liang and Ning Jing were not really going to get married, those two people were also the most sincere and tacit couple he had ever seen in his life.

With Su Liang's temperament... Duanmu Chen looked up at the cloudy sky and felt that there would be another storm when Su Liang came back.

...

The officials of the Ministry of Justice looked at the scene and found the bloody word. They were all horrified and dared not speak out.

Lin Xueqing was stopped by Qi Yan and did not see Ning Jing's body. She cried so hard that she almost fainted and was sent back by Xing Yusheng.

When Lin Shuzhi saw Xing Yusheng, he wanted to ask something, but when he opened his mouth, no sound came out. He was already in tears.

"Uncle, please accept my condolences." Xing Yusheng whispered.

Lin Shuzhi murmured to himself, "After Ajing was kicked out of the house and disappeared, I always worried about him... I had a nightmare. He left. In the dream, he called me Master and said goodbye to me, but I couldn't see his face clearly... He came back well, I was really happy. Last night I told him not to drift anymore. It would be so nice to be with Xiaoliang... How nice..."

...

Ning Jing sat alone on the top of Wangxiang Mountain, looking north, and dark clouds seemed to be hovering above his head.

Next to him was a newly carved tablet with five words on it, "Ning Jing's Spiritual Tablet".

He looked down at the tablet and whispered, "There are people in this world who care about you. Although it's too late, let's just see them off this time."

After saying that, he looked towards the north again, "If I die, I wonder if she will cry..."
