Chapter 165: Si Xiao's Death
Tuoba Heng's face was silent, and he didn't raise his eyes at the two guards at all.
"Hmph, Third Prince, don't blame me for laughing at you, it's really funny that you still have this leisure and elegance at this time. You don't want to think about how to escape, how can you still have time to think about playing the flute!? The first guard smiled, not taking Tuoba Heng's face seriously at all.
Then he thought of the words he had said, 'escape', and immediately covered his mouth in fear, for fear that it would not be good to be heard by the person like the guard next to the Seventh Prince a few days ago.
Tuoba Heng continued to blow regardless of the cynicism of the two, and the original lightness and superiority of the flute sound was gone, replaced by a sense of depression.
The guard felt injustice in his heart, and wanted to speak, but the other pulled him and said, "Let's go, let's go, this person is probably dying, so ah, the old cow screamed." You'd better leave it alone. ”
The two of them put away their interest in watching the excitement and turned away, no longer paying attention to Tuoba Heng.
Su Cimo finally got rid of Si Xiao's entanglement, and then returned home, she consulted some files on death row, basically with Su Qingshui and some people who were sentenced to death, but there were loopholes in the files, even if Su Cimo studied carefully, she couldn't see any clues.
Su Cimo stood up and paced in her study with the dossier, she frowned and looked very anxious.
"Oh, this Tuoba Heng, it's really uneasy, I didn't want to care about this at first, he is now making me a little unkind, I really don't know what to do." While pacing in the room, Su Cimo threw his arm in the air, which seemed to be a broken jar.
Because she really doesn't know what to do, now the people of the Seven Princes and the people of the Prince are serving at any time, if she makes a mistake and makes a slight mistake, she will be grabbed by someone and taken to the emperor to say that she is not going.
Su Cimo is not a person who likes to quibble, in her world, what should be is what is, she is not used to saying black as white, let alone white as black, this is not what she is good at.
Seeing so many thorny questions, Su Cimo was really worried, could she really just watch Tuoba Heng being beheaded by them, Su Cimo was really not sure if she could accept it, and a friend she trusted was just like this to be strangled by the battle for the throne between the parties.
Suddenly, a pair of quiet eyes at the door looked at her quietly, and it took a long time before she said, "Mo'er, it's time for dinner." ”
Su Cimo was startled, only to find out that it was her mother who came into the study, Su Cimo turned her eyes to look out the window, only to find that the sky was gradually getting dark, but she had been hesitating and did not find out.
Su Cimo's mother just saw her daughter frowning very sadly and leaning against the case, and she knew that she must have encountered something very tricky in the court, but as her mother, she didn't know how to comfort her daughter.
can only care about her eating well.
Su Cimo glanced at her mother, and looked at herself with an inquiring look in her eyes, Su Cimo's heart softened, and she swallowed back the sentence "don't eat" that was about to come out of her mouth.
"Okay." Su Cimo immediately bent out a light smile and said.
Su Cimo's mother smiled very quietly, took her daughter's hand and walked outside.
At the dinner table, Su Cimo was eating the rice in the bowl very quietly, but his eyes were thinking about something thoughtfully.
Su Cimo's mother finally couldn't stand it, and said comfortingly: "Mo'er, my mother seems to have some difficulties in you." ”
"Ahh No, mother. Everything is fine with Mo'er. Su Cimo was most reluctant to let her mother see the burden on her body and was worried, how could she admit it.
Su Cimo's mother saw that she had vetoed, and the smile on her mouth was a little bitter, and then she said: "Mo'er, you have to remember that you are a girl, and being an official is what a man does, if you don't do it well, my mother doesn't blame you." ”
Su Cimo's eyes were slightly moist, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then hugged her mother.
"Mother, I know. Mo'er will do a good job of things outside, but you have to take care of your body. ”
Su Cimo's mother smiled slightly and patted her daughter's back.
Su Cimo spent the day safely, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and the next day, he still had to come.
Su Cimo left the Prime Minister's Mansion early this morning as usual to go to the early court, but as soon as he turned out of the alley and came to the street of the capital, a group of people of different races immediately came to surround Su Cimo.
Su Cimo looked at the appearance of those people, all of them had dark skin, and Su Cimo secretly guessed that they must be from Afanguo.
Just as she was guessing that Afanguo should not have an envoy Si Xiao come forward, the short man dressed in aristocratic clothes spoke.
"It's that she must have killed Minister Si Xiao." The man's eyes widened and he pointed straight at Su Cimo.
Su Cimo also looked at him strangely, then pointed his finger at himself, and then asked, "You said it was me who killed Si Xiao?" ”
Su Cimo really didn't know what was going on today, could it be that he was going out in the wrong way, and he should have taken a different path.
"Yes, after our Lord Si Xiao finished talking to you at the banquet yesterday, when he returned to the post station to sleep, he bled to death." The man continued.
Suddenly, the people of the Afan Kingdom began to communicate in the language of the Afan Kingdom, and then the man got out of the way, and Su Cimo saw a flatbed truck behind them, and the car seemed to have a corpse on it.
Su Cimo stepped forward and pulled open the white cloth, only to see that Lord Si Xiao, who was still alive yesterday, had a pair of pupils wide open today, and the green tendons on his forehead and arms were bursting out, and his seven orifices were bleeding, and he was not angry at all.
Su Cimo, who was accustomed to seeing science monsters, would rather believe that this was a corpse made of plastic on display in a museum than that it was Si Xiao's corpse.
But the facts are in front of us, in this era, it is impossible to create a fake corpse, and Su Cimo has to believe that this is really Si Xiao's corpse, but this is too hideous and weird.
"Master Su, if you have anything else to say, why don't you hurry up and go with us to the emperor to confess." The Afan man continued, staring at the stern look on his face, as if he was afraid that Su Cimo would run away with some other skills.
But Su Cimo looked at the corpse in confusion, and suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she remembered something.
"Minister, you see that Si Xiao's forehead and arms have blue tendons bulging, I think he must have died by practicing internal strength when he returned to the post station, how can you blame me? I dare to swear to God, I didn't do anything against heaven to Si Xiao. Su Cimo said indignantly, she still wants to slander her, but she is angry, there are really a lot of people who want to slander her recently.
As soon as those people heard this, they immediately looked at Si Xiao's body, but there was something different.
"Doctor Hu, since Minister Su said that Minister Si died by cultivating internal strength, then please take a look at Minister Si's body, how did he die!?" The little leader of the Afan Kingdom said.
An old man wearing the same style of clothing as them walked out behind him, as soon as he heard the adult's analysis, he immediately reached up and turned Si Xiao's eyes, only to see that the pupils of his eyes radiated very large, and the green tendons burst out and looked like they had not been retracted, it did look like it was caused by cultivating internal strength, but why did the seven orifices bleed to death, this point is really too difficult to answer.
"Lord Hui, I can't see why Minister Si Xiao died." The old doctor of the country of Afan replied.
When the little leader of the country heard this, he was immediately a little displeased, and he turned his eyes over Su Cimo, seeing that she didn't look like a bad person with thin skin and tender flesh.
"What else do you have to say? Since the doctor can't see it, is this how your country tries a case and arrests an innocent person casually? Su Cimo asked.
The little leader had no choice, and then gave Su Cimo a jump and said, "Okay, let's wait until we find out." ”
Su Cimo left, and the death of Si Xiao, the envoy of Afanguo, also made a fuss in the court, although Su Cimo has tried his best to explain, but there will still be some people who will say that they saw Su Chengxiang and him have too much contact with him.
Su Cimo came to Song Bibai's house, and it happened that at this time he also returned to the house after finishing his work from the palace.
"Bibai, what do you think is going on?" As soon as Su Cimo came, he didn't hide his thoughts, but asked Song Bibai to help him find a way.
"I don't think this matter is simple, and anyone who has contact with the tribute conference may poison the envoys of the Afan Kingdom." Song Bibai said with a look of judgment while taking off her official uniform.
Su Cimo was slightly shy, and when he took off his official uniform and leaked his underwear, he still turned his head and pretended to think about the problem without looking at him.
"I think this matter is full of suspicions, the first person who started it was after Si Xiao finally contacted me. So now it seems that the most suspicious person here is me, but fortunately, I explained it to the little leader of the Afan Kingdom, so I was not arrested by them and sent to the emperor for questioning. Su Cimo said slightly helplessly.
Song Bibai put on a homely dress, and then walked to Su Cimo's side and continued: "You mean, you suspect that someone has framed you. ”
Although Su Cimo didn't want to admit it, she thought so in her heart.
Su Cimo nodded at Song Bibai with a slightly nervous expression.
Song Bibai's face froze slightly for a moment, and he glanced at the open door with a somewhat troubled expression, and then he walked to the door and looked around the door, and closed the door again after making sure that there was no one.
