Chapter 161: Mysterious Letter

The more Su Cimo looked, the more his brows furrowed.

It is clear that Su Qingfeng was a good official praised by everyone during his lifetime, but I don't know when it started, it was rumored in the capital that Su Qingfeng was involved in the dispute of plotting the dynasty and usurping the throne, "there is more than innocent death", "the crime deserves to die", these words are like a knife engraved in Su Cimo's heart.

Su Cimo knew that this feeling of heartache belonged to the original owner of this body.

She and Su Qingfeng are father and daughter!

What kind of person is Su Qingfeng, how can Su Cimo, who is a daughter, not know.

"Did you bring it?" The emperor waited impatiently, and urged Gonggong Li on the side.

Gonggong Li glanced at the outside of the Heart Nourishing Palace, and vaguely saw a few figures.

When he got closer, he saw Tuoba Heng walking in the middle, with prison guards on both sides, and several guards behind him.

Seeing Tuoba Heng enter the Heart Nourishing Palace, the emperor's expression became more and more ugly.

With a "plop", Tuoba Heng knelt beside Su Cimo.

Su Cimo was startled and turned his head to look at Tuoba Heng.

Her eyes were red, and she couldn't bear to see those bad things about Su Qingfeng.

Tuoba Heng's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at this time. He raised his head and met the emperor's eyes, but he didn't look at Su Cimo.

"In the original murder case, I almost broke an arm, did you do this?" The emperor questioned, speaking very bluntly.

Tuoba Heng pursed his lips tightly.

He was in the prison, and Tuoba Heng didn't know what was going on outside. He didn't know when he was convicted of plotting to usurp the throne again, and when the emperor asked him, Tuoba Heng only felt ridiculous.

He has never liked to explain, these unwarranted things have been rumored to have noses and eyes, and naturally someone planned them in advance.

It's useless for him to say anything now, no one will listen.

"Why don't you speak?" The emperor saw that Tuoba Heng was silent, and his heart was even more uncomfortable. He stared at Tuoba Heng with wide eyes, and Tuoba Heng confronted him head-on.

"Since my father asked, didn't he prove that he also felt that this matter was from the hands of his son? What's the use of explaining at this time? Will my father listen? Tuoba Heng was unhurried, and he reasoned with the emperor slowly.

Su Cimo heard it clearly beside him, and he was almost frightened by Tuoba Heng's heartbeat.

She sometimes has to admire Tuoba Heng's concentration, and at this time, she can still calm down and act like a nobody.

This is a great sin of beheading!

Su Cimo almost roared in his heart, and he couldn't wait to remind Tuoba Heng immediately to treat this matter well.

The emperor only needs one word, Tuoba Heng can't even live tomorrow.

"What do you mean by that? Now the news is spread in the capital, and many ministers in the DPRK and China are protesting, wanting to take your life, I called you here today, just to give you a chance, but you didn't listen. ”

The emperor hated iron but not steel, as if he was going to kill Tuoba Heng.

Tuoba Heng stopped talking.

"Since it's an ironclad matter, then I can't help you intercede. Listen to your words today, and if you don't explain it, you should be convicted of the crime of plotting to usurp the throne. The emperor gritted his teeth, as if he was forcing Tuoba Heng to tell the truth of the year.

Anyway, there was an assassination. In the following March, Su Qingfeng died of the crime.

If this series of things are connected, it has to be doubtful.

Explain! Su Cimo thought silently in his heart.

Tuoba Heng will not be arrogant into this field, and he can't even take care of his own life. It was obviously Tuoba Heng's matter, but Su Cimo was even more nervous than she looked.

"Erchen has nothing to say." Tuoba Heng is very stubborn, and he really doesn't want to bend down in front of the emperor.

Su Cimo's eyes widened and he looked at Tuoba Heng.

He admitted at this time that he was asking for his own death. What a sin it is to seek the dynasty to usurp the throne, if it weren't for Tuoba Hengsheng in the royal family, it would not be too much to even the nine clans.

With such serious consequences, I didn't expect Tuoba Heng to admit it casually.

"Someone! Come! The emperor was so angry that he hurriedly called people.

The huge Heart Cultivation Hall was filled with the emperor's deafening roar, which frightened all the eunuchs and palace maids around them into not daring to speak much, and they didn't even dare to move.

"Drag him back to the prison and behead him half a month later." The emperor's face turned dark, he was holding his breath in his chest, and he was almost about to have a seizure.

Tuoba Heng got up and left the Heart Cultivation Hall under the escort of the prison guards.

Su Cimo chuckled in his heart, and he didn't know for a moment whether to be shocked that Tuoba Heng didn't even care about his life, or was afraid that he would really lose his life.

The emperor moved the day of killing Tuoba Heng to half a month later, and it was by no means merciful to his subordinates. It was ten days later at the tribute conference, when the surrounding small countries were in an endless stream of ministers, killing Tuoba Heng.

Su Cimo was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out what Tuoba Heng was going to do.

Is there really anyone in this world who does not resist death?

"What about you?" After the emperor asked Tuoba Heng, he moved his gaze to Su Cimo's body again.

Su Cimo is Su Qingfeng's only "son", if Su Qingfeng is convicted of a crime, not to mention that the emperor will take his life, in short, he will not be able to serve as an official in the court in the future.

After all the hard work until now, I will be destroyed by this trumped-up crime.

"When my father died, he was only fourteen, and he was still young at that time, so he didn't know any of this." Su Cimo justified his name,

She wouldn't be stupid enough to explain to Su Qingfeng in such a situation. People can't be resurrected after death, and the people behind the rumors are quite clever and know that dead people can't speak, as long as the story is true, anyone will believe it.

Whatever Su Cimo said at this time, it seemed that he was excusing his father. simply didn't say anything, so as to preserve his impression in front of the emperor.

"I don't want to hear this now, your Su family has thought about killing me, this is the most important thing." The emperor didn't listen to Su Cimo at all.

Su Cimo's eyes flickered.

"Your Majesty, as early as the age of fourteen, the minister had already severed relations with the Su family in front of the entire people on the street. The minister also called Su Cimo, but he was no longer a member of the Su family. Su Cimo was justified and completely dissociated himself from the Su family.

To put it this way, Su Cimo is reasonable.

"Over the years, the minister has not received the slightest favor from the Su family, and the Su family does not need to cause trouble to the minister. The minister is upright and innocent. Su Cimo said word by word, very clearly.

The emperor pursed his lips tightly and carefully considered Su Cimo's words.

Then he called Su Cimo to retreat, and sent someone to put the entire Su family in prison.

Only Su Cimo has become a fish that has slipped through the net, which makes people unable to grasp it.

The first thing Su Cimo did after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion was to ask someone to contact Song Bibai. At this time, she could only trust Song Bibai to help her.

The stakes are very high, and Su Cimo didn't dare to make a mistake.

In case as soon as she said it on the front foot, the back foot was leaked to the emperor's ears, and she and Tuoba Heng would die together, and there was no possibility of survival.

"It's not that hard to do." Song Bibai looked serious, and after thinking for a long time, he said lightly to Su Cimo.

Su Cimo finally had some joy.

"Really? Is it risky? He's a death sentence now! Su Cimo reminded him, for fear that Song Bibai would miss a sentence and give himself an empty joy in the end.

"It's okay, I can help." Song Bibai shook his head.

"It's just ......" As soon as he finished responding, he began to speak again and again, and hesitated again and again.

Su Cimo could see that Song Bibai had something to say, but he held it in his heart and couldn't say it for a long time.

"You say." Su Cimo comforted Song Bibai and said. "Do we have something to hide from each other?"

"Yes." Song Bibai sighed softly.

"There is something I said that may make you unhappy, but I have carefully considered it in the past two days, and you told me what happened today, I think about it, and I always have some questions." Song Bibai's brows were already furrowed tightly as she spoke.

"Since it was a few years ago, you were young at that time and didn't know the third prince at all, why do you have to believe that he really had nothing to do with the murder of the emperor?" Song Bibai asked rhetorically.

Su Cimo was dumbfounded by Song Bibai.

She didn't know why she believed Tuoba Heng, Xu is Su Qingfeng is a Qing official, there is no adulteration, and Su Cimo never thought that the truth was really as rumored outside, Tuoba Heng really thought about framing the emperor.

In the final analysis, Tuoba Heng himself is also a prince, and it is reasonable that he really wants to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne.

After all, there are few people in this world who can resist the temptation of power.

"This matter will be put on hold for now, and I don't know how to answer if you ask me. When I meet with the third prince, I will ask for clarification in person. ”

In any case, the top priority is to see Tuoba Heng.

Since it was Su Cimo who said it, and Song Bibai had already agreed, this matter would not be shelved. In just two days, Song Bibai bought half an hour for Su Cimo.

Because when he was studying in Taisi in the past, Song Bibai and the deputy priest who is now in charge of Dali Temple are good friends.

After all, Tuoba Heng is a criminal who plots to usurp the throne, and he can get half an hour, which is already for the sake of Song Bibai's face.

Su Cimo was grateful and hurried into the cell.

At that time, Tuoba Heng was sitting cross-legged on the haystack with his eyes closed. At this time, his clothes were already a little shabby, but even so, he could see that Tuoba Hengqi was extraordinary, and it was not the same as others.

Su Cimo rolled his eyes inwardly.

At this time, you can still calm down, and there is really only Tuoba Heng.

"Knock knock!"

The guards slammed on the chains that bound the door with a crisp sound.

Su Cimo was taken aback.

"Hey, Master Su has come to see you." The prison guards didn't have the slightest kindness to Tuoba Heng. The left and right have been sentenced to death by the emperor himself. That "hey" and "Master Su" are put together, and it sounds really ridiculous.

Tuoba Heng opened his eyes slowly.

The prison guards opened the prison door for Su Cimo, and Su Cimo immediately went in and squatted in front of Tuoba Heng.

"What do you think? How do you admit it? Su Cimo lowered his voice, and his tone was very impatient.

"Why do you believe me?"

At the end, Tuoba Heng slowly spat out a sentence.

Su Cimo froze in place.

Now is the time to investigate these causes.
