Chapter 184. 184. Tonight is dark and stormy
When I got home, it was nightfall.

Yan Yu made dinner and was waiting for them.

Seeing Su Liang wearing a wreath on her head, she couldn't help sighing, "It's so beautiful! It must be from Brother Ning!"

Su Liang shook her head, "It's from Zheng'er, cutie."

Yan Yu smiled and said nothing.Although Zheng'er is very clever, he is too young to do such delicate handwork.

And in this family, the most ingenious person is Tranquility.Su Liang's original words.

Yan Yu didn't point it out, thinking that Ning Jing must have made it up by himself and gave it to Su Liang under the guise of Zheng'er, which is really awkward.

Zheng'er had already been sent home by the two of them.

During dinner, Yan Yu asked again about their visit to Changchun Garden during the day.In the next afternoon, she heard that the two princes had a dispute in the theater.

"So-and-so used to be stubborn, but now he's much better." Su Liang affirmed Nian Jincheng's progress.

When Yan Yu learned what had happened, he couldn't help laughing, "I really didn't see it, he's quite perineal."

Su Liang said with a smile, "Ning Jing told him that you can use the art of war even if you're not on the battlefield."

Yan Yu's eyes lit up, "Yes, he was originally a general, so he must be familiar with the art of war."

Ning Jing's thin lips parted slightly, "What's the name of today's event?" asked Su Liang.

Su Liang thought for a while, "This play should be called 'Hidden Knife in a Smile'."

Yan Yu applauded, "That's right!"

"Let him teach you later. It can also be used in business." Su Liang said.

Yan Yu nodded, "I want to ask him for advice. But when will he get away? I'm always worried that he will be found out."

Su Liang put down his chopsticks, "The moon is dark and the wind is high tonight."

Ning Ping put down the spoon, "I'm full." After saying that, he got up and went out.

It seems that Yan Yu is a guest, but the core idea of ​​Ning Jing and Su Liang's hospitality is "don't treat you as an outsider".Therefore, after Yan Yu moved in, she was basically responsible for cooking and washing dishes, and she was very happy.

While tidying up the dishes, Yan Yu asked Su Liang, "When Xiaonian will come back, haven't you decided yet?"

"Let's talk after tonight. You pack up and go to bed early, and close the door at night." Su Liang left after saying that.

Yan Yu felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell.

While washing the dishes, Su Liang's words "tonight the moon is dark and the wind is high" came to Yan Yu's mind, she immediately turned her head to look outside, it was windy and dark clouds covered the moon.

Yan Yu glanced at the room of Ning Jing and Su Liang again. In the past, these two people would read or copy books until late at night, but tonight they turned on the lights so early, which is abnormal.

Yan Yu felt that they might do something tonight.

According to what Su Liang said, she packed up and went back to her room, closed the door, and went to bed.Make it a habit now to keep a dagger under your pillow.

……

Wangxiang Mountain.

Ning Jing brought Duanmu Ao out of the deep pit, and he remained motionless with his eyes closed, as if he was already dead.

Su Liang leaned over and sniffed. Although it was weak, he was still alive.

I was very hungry, and I was extremely weak physically and mentally.

Su Liang didn't intend to say anything to Duanmu Ao, and filled the hole with Ning Jing to restore it to its original state.

Ning Jing stuffed Duanmu Ao into a sack and carried it on his shoulders, and the two went down the mountain together.

"It's too dirty. Last time I saw a pond over there, I threw it in to rinse it off." Su Liang said.

After all, Duanmu Ao had to restore his identity before he died.

Su Liang waited for about a quarter of an hour before Tranquility came back.Duanmu Ao almost drowned and almost froze to death.

Ning Jing already knew the situation of the guards of the Second Prince's Mansion from Nian Jincheng, and had chosen the best route.

Nian Jincheng asked his servants and guards to stay away from him because he was in a bad mood. He was alone in the room with no lights on, lying on the bed, holding a dagger in his hand under the quilt, and opened his eyes, waiting for peace to come. .

Daggers are for killers.In case peace comes late, Nian Jincheng has to deal with it by himself.Ning Jing explained that if the situation is not right, it is the best policy to use the poisonous smoke pills that Su Liang gave him, and don't worry about the rest of the matter.

Only a quarter of an hour is left before midnight.

There were a few noises from the rear window, Nian Jincheng immediately sat up, threw off the quilt and got out of bed, all clothes neatly, shoes and socks on.

As soon as he put away the dagger, Ning Jing and Su Liang came in.

Nian Jincheng heaved a sigh of relief, and took the sack from Ning Jing.

"Turn around." Ning Jing said to Su Liang.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, but turned her back without asking.

Nian Jincheng untied the sack, and saw Duanmu Ao naked inside, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he heard Ning Jing tell him to dress Duanmu Ao well.

When Ning Jing went to "wash" Duanmu Ao, he took off all his dirty clothes and burned them.In order to prevent Duanmu Ao from getting dirt on his body, he also washed the sack clean.So the shoulders of Ping An's clothes were wet.

It was night now, Nian Jincheng only needed to put Duanmu Ao on his underwear, without shoes and socks, and then put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt.

"Hurry up." Nian Jincheng whispered.

Ning Ping patted Su Liang on the shoulder. After she turned around, on the way to the bed, she leaned over and pulled out her usual pair of knives from her calf.

Duanmu Ao is awake and conscious after being tortured repeatedly.

Seeing Su Liang appear, looking at him with cold eyes, Duanmu Ao widened his eyes, opened his mouth and said a word, "You..."

Two cold lights flashed, and Su Liang's two knives pierced the quilt at the same time, penetrating Duanmu Ao's body!

Duanmu Ao kept vomiting blood and lost consciousness, when he heard Su Liang's cold voice, "Killing for life is justified."

Su Liang drew his knife, and the quilt was already stained red with blood.

She cut Duanmuao's neck several times, in order to cover up the traces of the whip when he was tortured before.

Ning Ping took out a hemp rope that came with him, and tied it to the beam.

Nian Jincheng lifted the quilt and threw it on the ground, dragged the dying Duanmu Ao off the ground, lifted him up, and wrapped his neck in a hemp rope.

From beginning to end, the three of them were careful not to get blood on their shoes, leaving no footprints.

"Take him away." Ning Jing said to Su Liang.

After Su Liang and Nian Jincheng left through the back window, Ning Jing took a look at Duanmu Ao who had died, threw a colorless and odorless incense ball into the incense burner, and disappeared into the room.

The time has come.

A black shadow avoided the guards of the Second Prince's Mansion, and quietly approached Duanmu Ao's room.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

Through the moonlight coming in through the window, he saw the man hanging from the beam. The killer had a bad heart and was about to leave when he heard someone shouting outside, "There's a fire! Come and put out the fire!"

The killer went out along the same road, and saw many people surrounding him.He was trying to find a place to hide for a while, when he suddenly felt powerless and dizzy, before he could take a few steps, he fell to the ground.

A person appeared beside him, leaned over, stuffed a medicine bottle and a piece of blood-stained cloth on the killer's body, stuffed another medicine bottle into his hand, and left.

……

After Su Liang and Nian Jincheng left the second prince's mansion, they went straight home.

After arriving home, Nian Jincheng said, "A-Ling will be alright?"

Su Liang shook her head, "Don't call him by that name until he recovers his identity."

In fact, what Su Liang was worried about was being heard by Yan Shiba.Her strength is very strong, if they hide nearby, they may not be able to detect it.And Yan Shiba would really suddenly appear at Su Liang's house.

"Well, I'll pay attention later." Nian Jincheng nodded, "Is he all right?"

Su Liang said calmly, "We'll know when he comes back."

Nian Jincheng: ...that sounds too much like someone's way of speaking.

"Is Yan Yu still at home?" Nian Jincheng asked.

"Yes." Su Liang said, "Go and wake her up and report that she is safe, she is very worried about you."

Nian Jincheng nodded, then hesitated, "How about tomorrow."

"Go now." Su Liang insisted.It's better to be surprised sooner rather than later.

"Okay." Nian Jincheng was used to being arranged by Su Liang and Ning Jing.

Ning Jing hasn't come back yet, but Su Liang is really not worried.Having grasped the news in advance and made careful arrangements, it is unlikely that there will be an accident in tonight's play.

For example, Ning Jing burned Duanmu Ao's dirty clothes, the hemp rope he took to hang Duanmu Ao was stolen from Duanmu Sheng's mansion, and the incense and antidote he put on the killer was not made by Su Liang. , but bought from the black market.

Su Liang melted the ready-made medicine, specially made a more powerful miso and an inferior antidote with half the effect, and put it back into the original bottle.

Ning Jing took a piece of Duanmu Ao's handkerchief, stained it with blood, and put it on the killer's body, so that it was faked that he had wiped the knife that killed Duanmu Ao with the handkerchief.

The fire in the Second Prince's Mansion was caused by Ning Jing sneaking into the servant's room and knocking down the oil lamp without leaving any traces, and it was confirmed that the servant in the room ran out.

There are many people fighting the fire, and their footprints are messy, which will cover up the footprints they left behind.

The only clue left behind by Duanmu Ao's death is the killer who "bought inferior drug, and after killing Duanmu Ao, he fainted and was unable to escape".

The killer carried a pair of knives similar to Su Liang's usual weapon.But this just proved that Su Liang couldn't have done it. She hired someone to kill Duanmu Ao and used such a weapon to make people suspect herself, which is completely unreasonable.

Nian Jincheng knocked on the door of Yan Yu's room, Yan Yu woke up, heard his voice, let go of the dagger in his hand, got out of bed and came to open the door.Afraid of danger, she didn't take off her clothes to sleep tonight.

"You're back?" Yan Yu was really surprised, "Are you all right?"

While Nian Jincheng was waiting outside, he had already washed off the disguise on his face with the potion Su Liang gave him.

Seeing Yan Yu staring at him with sparkling eyes, Nian Jincheng softened his heart, nodded and said, "I'm fine."

"Su Liang and Ning Jing are alright?" Yan Yu went out, seeing the light in Su Liang's room, he was greatly relieved, "They didn't tell me to rescue you tonight."

"Ning Jing hasn't come back yet, but she should be fine." Nian Jincheng said.

As soon as the words fell, Yan Yu saw Ning Jing walking in from the gate of the courtyard.He was wearing night clothes, and in his hand was a small mouse folded from a black cloth covering his face.His face was cold, as if returning from a night outing.

Nian Jincheng didn't ask anything, and saw Ning Jing turning into the kitchen.

"What's going on?" Yan Yu was curious.

Nian Jincheng told her what happened.

Yan Yu was amazed, "You guys are too good! That shameless and vicious second prince died well! The first prince was going to kill him, and he was not wronged at all!"

Nian Jincheng was a little embarrassed by the praise, "I always listen to their arrangements."

"Su Liang even praised you today, saying that you used to be stubborn, but now you have learned to 'hide a knife in your smile'." Yan Yu said with a smile.

Nian Jincheng knew that Yan Yu was sincerely praising him, but it always sounded like he was scolding him.

"I'll boil some water for you. Are you hungry? If you want to eat something, I'll do it!" Yan Yu said.

"No, it's so late, and I'm still disturbing you, you should go to rest." Nian Jincheng waved his hand.

"You're welcome, and I'm not an outsider." Yan Yu said with a smile, "I'm awake now, and I can't sleep. I'll ask Su Liang and Ning Jing if they want to eat supper. You all worked hard."

When Nian Jincheng saw Yan Yu going out, he originally wanted to go back to the room to change clothes, but followed, "Then I'll go and light a fire for you." He has seen that Su Liang usually cooks with peace of mind.

"Okay!" Yan Yu nodded.

After washing his hands in the kitchen, Ning Jing went back to his room, but he still hasn't slept.

Yan Yu asked them what they wanted to eat, Su Liang said she would not eat it, and neither would Ning Jing.

"Forget it." Nian Jincheng said.

"I'm hungry." Yan Yu said with a smile, "Light up the fire. I want to hear you talk about the past two days."

Nian Jincheng sat down on the small stool, added firewood to the stove, watched the flames burn up, and when he told Yan Yu about the experience of the past two days, his heart gradually warmed up.

In the end, Yan Yu made two bowls of noodles, and she and Nian Jincheng ate them in the kitchen.

"Tomorrow when things are exposed, the first prince will definitely say that Su Liang killed the second prince and slander him." Yan Yu said.

Nian Jincheng snorted softly, "Su Liang has carefully prepared this scapegoat, he will definitely recite it!"

……

Early the next morning, the news that the new crown prince Duanmu Ao was assassinated last night shocked the entire capital!

Duanmu Chen got up early in the morning and was about to enter the palace to visit the Queen Mother Wan to show his filial piety. When he suddenly learned that Duanmu Ao had died tragically, he was stunned for a long time.

He had a hunch that it was Su Liang who did it, and thought that girl really dared to think and do it, and she would do it as soon as she found out, without being procrastinating at all.

Soon, people came from the palace, and Duanmu Yi asked Duanmu Chen to enter the palace immediately.

On the way into the palace, Duanmu Chen was thinking about how he should respond if there was any evidence pointing to Su Liang.No matter what, the suspicion must be drawn on Duanmu Sheng, but it must not be made too obvious.Even now, some people still suspect that Su Liang is with him.

When Duanmu Chen saw Duanmu Yi, he was in Ci'an Palace, and the cries of Empress Dowager Wanshi and Empress Xiao Wanshi kept coming and going.

Duanmu Chen felt strange that Duanmu Ao's body was not brought into the palace, and if they wanted to cry, they should go to the coffin to cry, right?
As a result, after a while, Duanmuchen learned the real reason why Wan and Xiao Wan were crying in the palace: not only because of Duanmu Ao's tragic death, but also because the murderer was Duanmu Sheng!Duanmu Yi wants to execute Duanmu Sheng!
Duanmu Chen was dumbfounded, even though he couldn't see it on the surface.

He thought that Su Liang would be the killer, that no matter which one of Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao died first, Su Liang would be suspected, and it would be difficult to attack the other.

Duanmu Chen also thought that if Duanmu Ao or Duanmu Sheng were dead, Su Liang would lead the suspicion to the living one.

But I didn't expect it, it seemed to be a conclusion all of a sudden!

Duanmuyi's face turned livid, "The killer who killed the second child, there was something wrong with the incense and antidote he bought, and he fainted himself, so he didn't escape. It's the boss's man."

Duanmu Chen believed that Duanmuyi must have found out what he said.Although there are dead men, sometimes even if the dead men don't open their mouths, they may not be able to find out the master behind them.

At this moment, Duanmu Chen felt that Duanmu Sheng should have sent an assassin to kill Duanmu Ao, maybe he wanted to take the opportunity to plant Su Liang on him.

The fact that the killer was stunned by his own drug... Duanmu Chen thought it was weird and not impossible, but he had an intuition that Su Liang must be involved in it!
"Come here, go and invite Doctor Su to come and treat your mother." Duanmu Yi finished his sentence, ignored Wan Shi and Xiao Wan Shi's begging, and left Ci'an Palace with Duanmu Chen.
