Chapter 167 167. I Killed People

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

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

The truth is, if Su Liang hadn't returned to the capital, perhaps Xiao Muyun would not have died.

Thinking of this, Su Liang is even more determined to find out the real culprit and never let it go!

There was the sound of a woman crying in front of her, Su Liang focused her attention, followed Gou Yu around a stone screen, and saw the mourning hall set up by the Prime Minister's Mansion for Xiao Muyun.

The coffin is in the middle.

Inside, there were a few maidservants kneeling and weeping.

Surrounded by his children and grandchildren, Prime Minister Xiao Qi 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 past Duanmu Chen, saw Su Liang standing behind Gou Yu, and said with a cold face, "Your second cousin was killed."

Duanmu Chen also took a look at Su Liang, looked away, and said to Xiao Qi in a low voice, "She won glory for the country with martial arts, and she saved the fifth emperor's younger brother a few days ago, and now she is very important to the emperor. Hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation, and handle all business affairs, and the young master Xiao will come forward."

Xiao Qi frowned.

Although Xiao Muyun is a concubine, not very capable, and is usually not favored, if the Prime Minister's grandson was killed while staying at home, if the truth cannot be found out and the real murderer pays the price, what will be the shame of the Xiao family?

But the Xiao family and Duanmuchen are a community of interests, and the dominant power is in the hands of the fledgling Duanmuchen.

When he spoke, the Xiao family dared not listen.

Xiao Qi suddenly remembered that ever since Su Liang made his debut in the martial arts examination, there had been rumors secretly that she and Duanmu Chen had known each other in Bei'an County, and that she was actually Duanmu Chen's person.

Regarding this, Xiao Qi once asked Duanmu Chen to prove it face to face, but Duanmuchen denied it.

At this moment, Xiao Qi couldn't help wondering whether Duanmuchen's actions were protecting 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 froze!
Indeed, Su Liang, as the first female martial arts champion in the Qian Kingdom and defeated the female general of the Yan Kingdom, has a special status and is of great significance.

If her scandal spreads at this time, it will damage the face of the country.

From the standpoint of the Xiao family, it's okay to do business in a business-like manner.

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

After all, Xiao Muyun was already dead.

The face of the Xiao family needs to be protected by finding out the real culprit, not that the real culprit is Su Liang.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi let out a long sigh, "You're right. Let the Ministry of Criminal Justice investigate. If the result is really Su Liang, what should we do?"

Duanmuchen looked calm, "Grandpa, no matter who the real culprit is, he will have to pay the price."

He knew very well that Su Liang couldn't have done it.

Xiao Qi shook his head, "There are some things, you'll know it when you look at it."

Duanmu Chen frowned, "What?"

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

Duanmuchen took it and stood beside Xiao Muyun's coffin. After reading the contents of the papers, he returned them to the Xiao family.

"What else?" Duanmuchen's expression remained calm.

Xiao Qi waved his hand, and his servants 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.

Seeing Duanmuchen and Xiao Qi talking, Gou Yu took Su Liang to wait outside and did not go there.

It wasn't until Duanmu Chen looked over that Gou Yu received the instructions, and then 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 Gou Yu to hand over all the evidence, and allowed the autopsy arranged by Gou Yu.

Su Liang just stood outside and waited.

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

He said "please", but his tone was very strong, as if he already believed that Su Liang was the murderer.

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

So, it's going to be really tricky.

But Su Liang still bent over cooperatively and pulled out both sharp knives, handing them to Gou Yu.

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

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

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

Coupled with the words written by Xiao Muyun himself, apart from Su Liang, who is the most suspected, there are no other possible suspects.

The Xiao family members all said that Xiao Muyun is humble and gentle, and has no enemies.

"Your Highness Fourth Prince, can I arrest the suspect Su Liang and bring him to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation?" Gou Yu asked respectfully.

Duanmuchen snorted coldly, "Your Ministry of Criminal Justice handles the case, so you can do whatever you want. Why do you ask me?"

Gou Yu looked awkward, "After all, Miss Su is the champion of martial arts today."

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

Gou Yu's expression was shocked.

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

But those who work as errands in the capital and can get along have to be smart enough.Some people, they cannot afford to offend.

If the real culprit is Su Liang, he will be arrested if he is caught, it will not be a big problem.

If it wasn't for her, but he took her to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, even if the real culprit was found in the end, Gou Yu would not be able to bear the responsibility of arresting the wrong person.

"I said that for nothing else. Lord Gou must investigate this matter clearly, but kindly remind Lord Gou that although Su Zhuangyuan's weapon is very rare, most people in the capital have seen it. If someone deliberately framed it, Will similar wounds appear after imitating similar weapons?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Gou Yu nodded, "The fourth prince's speculation is very reasonable."

"I just think that my father has praised the clever martial arts champion. If he really wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't use her well-known weapon, right? That's too stupid." Duanmu Chen said.

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

"Master Prime Minister, are the documents left by the Second Young Master Xiao really handwritten?" Gou Yu asked Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi told the truth, "There is no trace of forgery in the truth. Mr. Gou can bring back some words that Mu Yun wrote in the past and check them again."

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

"Miss Su's weapon should be returned to its original owner." When Gou Yubi asked for the weapon, he was more polite, "May I ask if Miss Su has any enemies?"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Second Prince, and the Fifth Prince have all proposed to marry me, but I said that I have already been engaged, and they may think that I don't know what is good or bad."

The corner of Gou Yu's mouth twitched, "Miss Su really knows how to joke. Miss Su is the biggest suspect in this murder case, but there are still doubts. I hope Miss Su will cooperate with the Ministry of Criminal Investigation in the future, and don't go out at home at other times."

"You don't need to catch me?" Su Liang was a little surprised.

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

"Can I go?" Su Liang asked.

Gou Yu nodded.

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

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

Su Liang waved his hand and left.

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

……

On the way Su Liang left Xiao Mansion on horseback and went home, she found that there were more people 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 is secretly helping the flames.

Su Liang felt that she was going to owe Duanmu Chen another favor.He must have said something for her, otherwise she would already be on her way to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Su Liang ignored the rumors, just returned home and found that all her friends had come.

Lin Shuzhi was sitting in the courtyard, beside his son and son-in-law.

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

Seeing Su Liang came back, Lin Shuzhi heaved a sigh of relief and stood up, "Girl Liang, are you alright?"

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

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

Everyone felt that the person most likely to frame Su Liang was Duanmu Ao.

Su Liang herself felt the same way.

"Even if Sister Su wanted to kill someone, she couldn't use a well-known knife, right? This is framing!" Lin Xueqing was very angry.

Lin Boyan sighed, "But it's hard to guarantee that no one will say that this is Xiao Liang doing the opposite and deliberately using this method to create a sign that someone else framed her. In fact, she did it."

Su Liang laughed when he heard the words, "What Brother Lin said is not impossible."

Qin Yujin sighed, "Sister Liang, what time is it, can you still laugh?"

Su Liang was very calm, "Otherwise, do you want to see me cry? It's already this time, everyone go back first, don't worry, no one can do anything to me for things I haven't done."

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

A peaceful 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 a big trouble, why don't you stay with her?"

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

Nian Jincheng: ... No wonder Ning Jing has not been able to warm Su Liang's bed so far. If he is like this, it will be fine if Su Liang doesn't beat him!
Su Liang smiled, "Yes, I won't let him go. I don't know why today, but seeing him makes me very annoyed."

Lin Xueqing raised her forehead, "You are not married yet, sister Su, are you annoying? It's too worrying."

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

Xing Yusheng sighed, "That's what you said. If you have trouble, just ask my father, he likes you very much."

Su Liang: ...What's the matter with the look of "my father, you can cheat me whatever you want"?

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

"Actually, this matter is very simple. Anyway, you are going to get married, and you don't care what outsiders think. You can simply say that you have slept together. You can testify for Su Liang. 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 exactly did Xiao Muyun write, did he really write it?" She had to ask Duanmu Chen secretly tonight, he had read it.

Unexpectedly, when Su Liang returned to his room to drink a glass of water, another officer and soldier came to the door.

Gou Yu was still leading the team.

"Under the order of Lord Shangshu, come here to arrest Su Liang, the suspect in the case of the murder of Mr. Xiao Muyun in the prime minister's residence!" Gou Yu said with a cold face, "Miss Su please cooperate!"

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

This is really troublesome.If she resisted or fled, she would only be convicted of her crime.But she was taken away in shackles, and her movements were restricted at that time. If someone wanted to kill her, she would have no chance to resist.

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

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

"She was at home last night and never went out. I can testify." Ning Jing looked calm.

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

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

Gou Yu frowned, "Didn't sleep? What are you doing?"

Ning Jing said, "Fishing."

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

Ning Jing explained, "In the mansion, we can always hear people crying in the middle of the night these days. We suspect that someone is behind the scenes. We didn't sleep all night last night. We want to find out."

Gou Yu looked at Su Liang inexplicably, "What Mr. Ning said is true?"

Su Liang sighed, "It's not auspicious to be haunted at home after all, I didn't want to mention it."

"Ms. Su, please go with me to the Ministry of Punishment first!" Gou Yu was more polite.

"It's okay to cooperate with the investigation, but if you treat her like a prisoner before the truth is found out, you can't afford the consequences!" Ning Jing said coldly.

Seeing the cold light in Ning Jing's eyes, Gou Yu was terrified and nodded subconsciously, "Don't worry, Mr. Ning, we will find out the truth and never wrong the good people."

"Department of punishment, I'll let you go. I know everything about her." Ning Jing said.

Gou Yu frowned, "Young Master Ning, this is against the rules. I won't be able to explain to Mei Shangshu when I go back."

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

"If it's because she had something to do with Xiao Muyun, I would be more suspicious if I killed someone out of love, wouldn't I? As for the weapon, I gave Su Liang's double knives." Ning Jing looked calm.

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

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

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

"Then please check it out before arresting people." Ning Jing said coldly, "Master Ruogou must take someone back to work today. I surrender myself. I killed him."

Gou Yu's expression turned ugly, "Mr. Ning, don't make such jokes. Miss Su is very skilled in martial arts, and Mr. Ning is the number one scholar in literature. How could he sneak into Xiao's mansion in the middle of the night and kill someone?"

"Money can turn ghosts around." Ning Ping looked indifferent, "I want to hire a master, it's easy."

Gou Yu's expression darkened, "Young Master Ning, I'll ask you again, are you sure you want to surrender?"

Ning Jing nodded, "Yes."

Gou Yu looked at Su Liang, "Miss Su, do you have anything to say?"

Su Liang's face was calm, "We fished together until dawn last night, it's the same if you catch him or me. Since he wants to visit the Ministry of Punishment, please take care of Mr. Gou."

When Gou Yu heard this, he had no choice but to take Ning Jing away.

Su Liang watched them leave, his complexion sank, and he turned and went into Tranquility's room.

Nian Jincheng heard what happened outside, and when he saw Su Liang, he said, "A Ling clearly cares about you, but she doesn't admit it."

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

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

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

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

Su Liang's eyes turned cold, "That's right. If I enter the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I may not survive tonight, so I can pretend to commit suicide in fear of crime. Ning Jing surrenders, 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 saying that, 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."
