The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 165, Su Han's Move (Second Update)

Su Han frowned, "What's going on?"

"There has been a commotion over there, and Miss Meng's village has been burned. The master has already rushed over. Robbers came to the village, and the whole village was looted. Miss Meng... She, the situation is not very good." Qing Shu paused, it is said that Meng Lianyan's situation is very miserable.

Su Han lifted the quilt and was about to go out, when a figure passed by, Qi Yao striding forward in a brocade suit, with a cold face.

When Qing Shu saw Qi Yao coming, he retreated instinctively, leaving the two of them alone.

"There's no need to go, Meng Lianyan has already hit the post and committed suicide."

Su Han was stunned. For half a year, her relationship with Meng Lianyan was not bad, especially before Qi Yao came back, she and Qi Long'er got along very well, and at some point, it changed.

Su Han chooses tolerance again and again, Meng Lianyan doesn't know how to repent at all, Su Han sighs with emotion for this result.

Qi Yao turned around and hugged Su Han, the weather outside the house was windy and cold, his body felt chilly, Su Han shivered, obviously feeling that Qi Yao's mood tonight seemed to be a little off.

"what happened?"

Qi Yao said lightly, "It's nothing, I've been here several times, but my mother-in-law still refuses to let go, what should I do?"

Qi Yao was really helpless, Qi Yao came almost every three days, and Ling treated him very politely, but he just refused to let go.

Su Han couldn't help but glared at Qi Yao coquettishly, "I can't do anything about it, maybe you haven't been sincere, mother always doesn't want me to be wronged."

Qi Yao touched Su Han's head and nodded, "You are right."

Su Han suddenly felt that he was not ashamed, and that he was alone in the same room. If this got out, he would be ashamed.

Qi Yao would come over almost every night, talk to her from time to time, or hug her, stay for a while, and then leave.

This time, Qi Yao hugged him very tightly and refused to let go for a long time, "In the future, if someone bullies you and plots against you, no matter who it is, don't care about your face. Your safety is the most important thing. The sky is falling, and I will give it to you." Hold on."

It took a long time for Qi Yao to let go, and he spoke seriously, Su Han nodded.

"Well, I got it, don't worry, I will never show mercy in the future." Su Han promised.

Qi Yao is still worried, after all, she is still so young, Qi Yao has been hesitating, she is so young, at least there is Ling to take care of her in the Su family, so there shouldn't be any problems, but once she enters Xun Wang's mansion, it may not be a problem. up.

On the other hand, if someone pays attention to her, Qi Yao is afraid that it will be too late for him to regret it.

Su Han had something on his mind, and Qi Yao also had something on his mind. Slowly, Su Han closed his eyes slightly. Seeing that she was breathing evenly, Qi Yao carefully placed her on the bed.

After Qi Yao left, Su Han slowly opened her eyes. There were some things that she had been wondering about.

The next day
Su Han accompanied Ling to have breakfast, and after putting down the chopsticks, Ling sighed, mother and daughter agreed that neither of them mentioned what happened last night.

When the Chu family heard the news early in the morning, they fainted on the spot, and no one in the Chu family dared to mention it.

"Investigate! It must be investigated! Check hard, what's going on?"

Mrs. Chu looked stern, and sneered, "Bandits? The capital is under the foot of the emperor, and there are even bandits! Don't fool my old lady for being ignorant, this matter must be strictly investigated!"

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely urge Master Su." Marquis Changyang also wondered, since the capital has been in the capital for so many years, when have there been robbers?Someone must have been eyeing Meng Lianyan for a long time, and I don't know who is so bold.

Mrs. Chu rubbed her head, and said in a deep voice, "Start with the county prince's mansion first, we must find out the evidence, dare to bully my Chu family, no matter what, I can't swallow it!"

"Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely give Mingyue an explanation for this matter."

Mrs. Chu nodded, a little helpless and sad, her Mingyue, life is too bitter.

"Mother, my sister, my daughter-in-law will go and persuade her." Mrs. Changyang Hou couldn't say anything else, she could only try her best to persuade Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu nodded and fell into deep thought.

Compared with the Chu family, the Liu family fell into a depressing atmosphere. First, they happened to find Daniu and Taoyao who fled and eloped but were stoned to death by the back mountain. Later, Liu Chengxu disappeared inexplicably and could not be found.

Mrs. Liu was so anxious that she sent many people to look for her, but there was no sign of her until now. Mrs. Liu's brows kept twitching, feeling that nothing good happened.

"Old Madam, the young master has been found, the young master has been found." The servant shouted as he ran, and the old lady Liu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the person?"

The servant suddenly stopped talking, and Mrs. Liu became anxious, "I'm asking you something, where is the young master?"

"Old lady, your son is here." Third Master Su was dressed in an official uniform without getting angry, with his hands on his back, and behind him was a guard carrying a stretcher, which was covered with a white cloth. If you get closer, you will smell some burning smell .

Mrs. Liu shook her body, not daring to answer, "Tell me, where is my son?"

As soon as Third Master Su waved his hand, the guard directly lifted the white cloth, revealing the inside, and the timid servant girl screamed, it was already blackened by the heat.

Mrs. Liu just glanced at it, and snorted, "Nonsense, don't think that just mentioning someone casually is my son, he was fine last night, how did he become like this!"

Mrs. Liu glanced at her, took a deep breath thoughtfully, and interrupted Mrs. Liu, "Master Su came suddenly, is there something important?"

Third Master Su smiled at Mrs. Liu, "To tell you the truth, someone saw Mr. Liu and his guards go to Miss Chu's Zhuangzi outside the capital city last night, where Miss Meng lived in Lianjun Prince's Mansion, who was brutally murdered last night." Killed, Zhuangzi was also looted, and Mr. Liu was unfortunately killed."

"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Liu couldn't calm down anymore. Her son was fine yesterday, so how could he just die.

Mrs. Liu yelled at Mrs. Liu, "Ignorant woman! Shut up, Lord Su is handling a case. If Chengxu is innocent, Lord Su will never wrong him!"

Mrs. Liu was suddenly scolded, she moved her lips, but could not speak a word, she stood aside and listened quietly.

Third Master Su smiled slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Liu for your cooperation. I would like to ask the servants who have been in contact with Mr. Liu recently, and bring them back for interrogation. I also ask Mr. Liu to be lenient."

Mr. Liu nodded in agreement without saying a word, and immediately left all the waiters around Liu Chengxu. Before leaving, Mr. Su paused.

"Master Su, what else is there?"

Third Master Su hesitated for a while, and then said, "I heard that there are some aunts in the house who are particularly favored. If it is convenient, I would like to invite them over."

"No!" Mrs. Liu refused, "Lord Su, although our family is not very rich, but at the very least, it is still a clean and scholarly family, how can we allow people to insult you at will?"

Mr. Liu didn't say anything, he obviously agreed, the servant girl can take it away, but once the aunt takes it away and sends it back, there is no reputation to speak of.

"Since that's the case, please ask the family to watch over the aunts. If I have any questions, I can call them at any time. I also ask Mr. Liu to make it easier for me."

Third Master Su took a step back, "I have several servant girls here, and each of them is in charge of guarding one of them. They will never be embarrassing. When the case is solved, I will definitely apologize to Mr. Liu in person."

Mr. Liu nodded, "Naturally, Mr. Su's handling of the case is important."

Mrs. Liu wanted to say something more, but Mr. Liu glanced away with sharp eyes, and immediately dared not speak any more.

"Farewell!" Third Master Su cupped his hands.

"Master Su, go slowly."

After Third Master Su left, Mrs. Liu suddenly woke up. Her son was gone just like that. She still refused to believe or accept this fact.

"Okay, shut up for me, look how you have spoiled this rebellious son? Apart from harming the Liu family again and again, what else will you do?"

Mr. Liu clutched his chest angrily. He had kept his eyes closed for so many years. He never expected that things would develop like this. Mr. Liu became much more decadent overnight.

Mrs. Liu choked, she was speechless, although she was not her own, but she was brought up by herself, Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back, and passed out.

Huazhu's younger sister Huawen was sent to watch Meng Lianyi. Su Han's first suspect was Meng Lianyi, so he gave this idea to Su Sanye.

Meng Lianyi has been acting indifferent these days. Apart from eating and drinking, she writes Buddhist scriptures and reads and writes poems in the house on weekdays, and is more reserved and low-key.

It seems that there is no problem at all, but Su Han feels that there is definitely something tricky in it.

Not only Meng Lianyi, but also Aunt Yi was watching closely. These two people were a little abnormal.

As soon as Third Master Su returned to the mansion, Marquis Changyang came. Marquis Changyang was straightforward and asked directly.

"Lord Su, how is the case going? Is there any news from the Liu family?"

Third Master Su has been busy these two days without touching the ground, running around looking for clues, without even having the time to catch his breath.

"We are still looking for new evidence for the time being. Don't worry, Lord Hou. As soon as there is news, I will notify Lord Hou immediately."

Marquis Changyang frowned, "Didn't someone already catch him? The young master of the Liu family went to Chu's Zhuangzi for no reason. How do you explain this? What else do we need to investigate?"

Third Master Su put on a stern face, "Although this is the case, we must pay attention to the evidence. I never dare to be arbitrary in handling cases. I will never let a bad person go, and I will never wrong a good person. The emperor handed over the case to you." Give it to me, I will definitely live up to the trust of the emperor, as for the others, Lord Hou just listened to the news."

Marquis Changyang choked, "I'm not being unreasonable. My mother and younger sister really care about me. If I don't bring the wicked to justice, I can't feel at ease every day. Please forgive me, Mr. Su."

Marquis Changyang's attitude softened, and Third Master Su nodded, "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will never tolerate wicked people."

After talking for a long time, Third Master Su didn't say anything, and Marquis Changyang returned angrily.

Third Master Su returned home in a hurry, and Su Han went up to greet him.

"What progress has Father made?"

Third Master Su nodded, "Those waiters vomited a lot after being tortured. It's good that Mr. Liu's family is dead, so as not to harm other girls. I can't see it normally, but they are so unrestrained behind their backs... Presumptuous, It's a pity that the old man of the Liu family lived a wise life."

Su Han frowned, "Father? My daughter asked about the progress of the case?"

Third Master Su smiled coyly, "Don't mention it, a big fire burned it all out, what can you find? I met Changyang Hou just now, and my father didn't know what to say, hey."

Su Han understood that the person behind this was quite smart, but since he did it, there must be a way to find clues.

"Father, my daughter has a plan, maybe it will work."

Third Master Su hurriedly put down his chopsticks, and asked, "Tell me about it."

Su Han raised her red lips, "Father, why don't you think about it from another angle, isolate the prisoner first, and then release the news, only that one of the assassins is still alive, and the imperial physician is doing his best to rescue him. Those who provide information can be released from the contract of prostitution and rewarded." A thousand taels of silver."

Third Master Su's eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you trying to force that person to show his feet?"

Su Han nodded, and Ling Shi also echoed, "Everything related to the Chu family, the Liu family, and the Lian County Prince's Mansion must be investigated one by one. There is no such thing as such a coincidence. It just happened. The entry and exit records, but If there are proofs, they must be interrogated carefully, and if anyone tells a lie, they will be arrested directly and treated as a crime."

Mr. Su was confused for a long time and finally found a breakthrough. He slapped the table and was quite proud, "I am so proud to have such a wife and daughter as my husband. , trivial matters all day long, disturbing the left side absent-minded, being called by the emperor several times in the morning, with a dazed face, unable to answer, fortunately, I have a capable wife who manages the house well, so I don’t have to worry about my husband .”

Third Master Su was triumphant and somewhat proud, Ling rolled his eyes at Third Master Su, his face flushed slightly, and he was not at all ashamed.

Su Han smiled joyfully. His father's love for his mother has lasted for ten years, and those troubles are gone. People will not offend me. I will not offend others.

Su Han cherishes this moment very much, her heart feels warm, like a warm current has melted, and nothing is important anymore.

After eating in a hurry, Third Master Su went out. Su Han glanced at Brother Wen and Sister Xi, and returned to Ningyage Pavilion.

"So?" Su Han looked at Huazhu.

"There is nothing unusual about Meng Lianyi in the past few days. She has been very quiet. Has she been in contact with anyone? The only person serving her is Hong Yao, so there is nothing suspicious." Hua Zhu said.

Tao Yao was served by Meng Lianyi's side, and that night, how could she escape and elope with the servants of the Liu Mansion by such a coincidence?

Su Han couldn't figure it out, there was weirdness everywhere.

"That man named Daniu, do you have any relatives around? Have you been in contact with anyone in the past two days?"

Huazhu quickly replied, "Daniu is in charge of buying ingredients at Liu's house. He always goes out several times a day, but the only people he meets are vegetable vendors. He has no father, mother, or brothers and sisters. He is very honest. It's unimaginable that Daniel would elope with Taoyao."

Su Han nodded clearly, "Then what's Aunt Yi doing?"

Huazhu shook her head, "No, Aunt Yi is also very quiet, only occasionally even the county king comes to accompany her, but she doesn't notice anything."

This is strange, what kind of medicine is the mother and daughter selling in the gourd, so duty-bound, it's not like them.

Su Han pursed her lips, waved at Huazhu and Qingshu, and whispered a few words in her ears, and the two nodded their heads.

Finally, Su Han waved his hand, "Go."

Su Han has heard of Liu Chengxu's personality in his past and present lives. He is a complete pervert. He will not let any pretty maids around him be spared, and his methods are very cruel, killing many maids.

Su Han decided to start with Hongyao, spending time with Meng Lianyi every day, it is impossible to know everything.

For the rest, Aunt Yi and Meng Lianyi must remain vigilant, there is definitely something wrong with them.

Meng Lianyi was also worried. Only Hongyao knew about this matter, but killing Hongyao now would be a bit too conspicuous.

night is falling
"Sister Huawen, how long do we have to wait until we are tall?" the little maid couldn't help complaining.

"Hurry up, there is already news from the master. I heard that some of the people brought by Mr. Liu have escaped alive. Don't worry, there should be news in a few days." Hua Wen whispered , "Not only that, Er Shun, who had a good relationship with Daniel, also confessed that something was wrong with Daniel in the past few days before he left, and he was in a trance. He accidentally leaked some news when he was sleeping at night, so wait a little longer."

"Then what the master said before, if you provide clues to help solve the case, can you cancel your humble status, become a good citizen, and reward you with a thousand taels of silver?"

Huawen nodded, "Naturally, what the master said never counts."

The two of them hid in the corner and talked softly, discussing in low voices.

On the other side of the door, Meng Lianyi's face was as pale as paper. After hearing the same words, Hongyao clenched her hands tightly, a little at a loss.

Meng Lianyi kept reassuring herself, no, no, she saw the fire burnt Zhuangzi with her own eyes, so how could she still be alive.

It's just a bull, Meng Lianyi gritted her teeth angrily, she wasn't sure what this idiot was talking nonsense about!
