Chapter Eighty-Three: The Storm Rises 5

The middle-aged man lowered his head, silently mourning the one hundred taels of silver in his heart, he originally wanted to take the silver to have a good meal.

Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't speak, Zhao Shangshu asked again, "Then how did my son die?"

"The villain doesn't know. ”

"Didn't you say you knew who the murderer was?" Zhao Shangshu was angry and couldn't care that His Royal Highness King Ning was in front of him, and roared angrily at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's body shrank after being yelled, and he whispered: "When the crowd dispersed, the young master was fine, and when the crowd dispersed, there was nothing lively to see, and the villain also left." The villain really doesn't know how the young master died. ”

"You ......" Zhao Shangshu pointed at him angrily, his fingers trembled, and he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Zhao Ping on the side hurriedly stepped forward and carefully interrogated the middle-aged man: "Then why did you say before that you knew who the murderer was?" You swear that it was a woman in red and a man in white, and you also brought us over to testify against the murderer, why do you now say that you don't know who the murderer is?"

The middle-aged man shrank and hid to the side, and whispered: "That's a mysterious person who found me and told me to follow what he taught, and I can still receive silver after speaking, I didn't believe him at first, who knew that you really promised to give me silver." ”

Zhao Ping was startled and turned his head to look at Zhao Shangshu. Zhao Shangshu was also shocked: "What mysterious person?"

Meng Qianzi, who was watching the play on the side, heard the middle-aged man's words, turned his head to look at Qing Tianze, but found that Qing Tianze was not the slightest surprised, as if he had already known that this was the case, Meng Qianzi's eyes flashed slightly.

But Xuanyuan Ning opened his mouth wide in surprise, and turned his head to look at the senior brother Xuanyuan Hao, who was still eating elegantly under such circumstances, and there was still someone who wanted to frame their brother and sister?

Xuanyuan Hao felt the gaze of his junior sister, and ignored it, still eating his own food without caring about himself. This Yaxuan's dishes are not something that can be eaten casually, like today's table, it will be worth a month's expenses on Xuanyuan Mountain, and he can't let such delicacies be wasted.

Xuanyuan Ning opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing the way the senior brother was eating by himself, he couldn't help but close his mouth, and finally decided that these delicacies couldn't all go into the stomach of the senior brother alone, so he quickly turned around and continued to eat.

Meng Qianzi watched the interaction between the two, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth slightly, these two people are also people who have come down from the world-famous Xuanyuan Mountain, is this really good?

On the other side, Zhao Shangshu asked the middle-aged man clearly, but it turned out that he was instructed by someone, just to get some silver taels after testifying against the murderer, and immediately kicked the middle-aged man angrily, but because of the ruthlessness, his breath was uncertain, the center of gravity between his legs was unstable, one stumbled, and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Zhao Ping on the side quickly stepped forward to support him, so as not to really fall to the ground.

Zhao Shangshu glanced at the middle-aged man hatefully, and said to Zhao Ping: "Send someone to detain him, and deal with it later." ”

"Yes, sir. Zhao Ping received the order, waved his hand behind him, and someone stepped forward to detain the middle-aged man and prepared to take him down.

The middle-aged man panicked inexplicably, and struggled to break free from the shackles: "Why do you want to detain me, I haven't done anything." ”

Zhao Ping quickly stepped forward and grabbed him: "You tried to make perjury to ask for silver taels and deceive the officials of the imperial court, isn't this called a crime?"

The middle-aged man howled, "The grass people are wronged...... Someone told the grass people to do this, and the grass people were wronged......"

"That's why I'm going to take you to ask for clarification. Zhao Ping handed him over to the person behind him: "Take it down!"

Several people behind him hurriedly stepped forward and held the middle-aged man tightly and dragged him down.

Zhao Shangshu turned to look at Qing Tianze, who had a calm face, and saluted him: "Before Xia Guan figured out the whole story, he came by the villain's words, disturbing His Royal Highness King Ning, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive him!"

"Presumably, Lord Zhao is also a blow to his heart because of the matter of Ling Gongzi, and he can't tell whether what others say is true, this king can understand, fortunately, it didn't cause any real harm to my two friends, so it's just a matter of it. Lord Zhao should also have other things to do, so let's go first. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" Zhao Shangshu glanced up at Xuanyuan Ning and Xuanyuan Hao, who were eating a lot, his eyes flashed, thinking that the body of his dead son was still in the cold alley, and he was anxious to leave, so he didn't say anything more.

Qing Tianze nodded slightly: "The matter has come to this, Lord Zhao still needs to take care of his body, don't be too sad." ”

"His Royal Highness King Shainin cares, and the old minister retires. Zhao Weitang saluted Qing Tianze, and then quickly retreated, and Zhao Ping followed beside him.

As soon as those people left, Xuanyuan Ning couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow! That person died in the afternoon! I just lightly snapped his finger, and the senior brother knocked out one of his teeth, and he was fine when he left, why did he die after such a while?"

Meng Qianzi smiled and shook her head: "It's really rare that you can endure it for so long before you speak." ”

"Sister, do you know how he died, but even if he died, why would anyone want to frame me and my senior brother?" Xuanyuan Ning's eyes widened, looking at Meng Qianzi expectantly, hoping that Meng Qianzi could explain it to her.

Meng Qianzi put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Qing Tianze, and said with a smile: "It seems that you already knew about today's matter?"

Qing Tianze asked Qing Leng to push the wheelchair back to the dining table, looked at Meng Qianzi and smiled, "I just guessed a little." ”

"Something to do with someone you saw on the street before?"

Qing Tianze nodded with a smile: "Presumably Zi'er has already guessed one or two, right?"

Meng Qianzi nodded slightly: "These people were restless as soon as they came, and they didn't know what else to do after that." In a word, trouble again!

"Sister, what are you talking about, is someone coming to Qingjing? Why are you restless when you come? Alas, don't you play dumb riddles!" Listening to the conversation between the two, Xuanyuan Ning was about to jump on the side.

Seeing Xuanyuan Ning's anxious look, Meng Qianzi pursed the corners of her lips helplessly: "What kind of dumb riddle? What we said is already obvious, okay?"

"What's obvious? Ning'er can't understand a word, don't believe you ask my senior brother. After Xuanyuan Ning finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Hao, who had already eaten on the side: "Senior brother, did you understand what they said?

Xuanyuan Hao held his stomach, and after burping leisurely, he said slowly: "Who said I don't understand?" ”

Xuanyuan Ning suddenly looked at his senior brother in disbelief: "Senior brother, do you really understand?" and then replied to himself: "Hmph, I don't believe it." ”

Xuanyuan Hao leaned comfortably on the back of the chair: "Anyway, I understand, as for whether you believe it or not, then it's up to you." ”
