Chapter 18 The plan will lead to the disaster
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and Guo Shi was even more stunned.
After a long time, she finally reacted, and immediately got up and knelt down, crying, "The old slave didn't poison the county lord, and I hope the third prince will see it." ”
Guo Shi saw that Su Junyan's face was cold, so he turned around and climbed in front of Princess Zhao, grabbed the corner of Princess Zhao's skirt, and said loudly: "Princess, the old slave of the county lord followed left and right as soon as he was born, and took care of it carefully. To put it mildly, this county lord is like the biological daughter of an old slave, how could he poison her? Princess, you must believe in the old slave......"
Seeing Guo like this, Princess Zhao felt a little unbearable in her heart, but she still couldn't help but speak. She has been immersed in the house for decades, and she has seen too many people who are closer to her, and the more they are slaves who turn against each other, so she is more or less suspicious.
Su Junyan said lightly, "Su Heng, present the evidence." ”
Hearing this, Guo's face is like ashes, I am afraid it is really exposed.
Su Heng took a porcelain bottle and handed it to the imperial doctor who was waiting on the side, and asked, "Please also tell the princess what kind of poison this is?" ”
Imperial Doctor Wang took it, opened the porcelain bottle and smelled it, his face changed greatly, "This is 'Xiao Suo', which is the poison in the county lord of Pingting." This poison is rare, dare to ask where did Su Huwei find it? ”
"I dug it up in the county lord's annex." Su Heng said slowly, "Moreover, I also dug this out at the same time." ”
With that, he forced a jade earring with some fresh dirt on it.
"When we searched the main courtyard of Pingting County just now, we found that there was an identical jade earring in Guo's jewelry box, which was obviously a pair." Su Heng suddenly looked at Guo Shi, "Dare to ask, why are your earrings buried with this porcelain bottle containing poison?" ”
Hearing this, Guo's face turned gloomy. But she knew that once she confessed to her guilt, she would definitely die, and maybe her family would be affected, so she made up her mind not to admit her guilt, "Third prince, the old slave didn't know that someone buried such a porcelain vase in the courtyard, and he didn't know that his earrings would fall together. The old slave has been following the county lord for more than ten years, and he has always been loyal, and he has no motive to harm people at all, this must be someone who wants to frame him. Since it is a frame-up, he must have prepared in advance, and asked the three princes, the prince and the princess to take a look. ”
After Zhao Ji and Princess Zhao glanced at each other, they didn't speak. Indeed, this is Su Junyan's house, and it is actually very easy for him to convict a person.
"No motive?" Su Junyan laughed, "Guo, your unsuccessful grandson owed 30,000 taels of silver to the gambling house a few days ago, and the boss threatened to chop off your grandson's hand at that time, but then he didn't do it?" I'm curious, is it your family's big business, 30,000 taels of silver is not a problem, or is someone secretly helping you? ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Ji and Princess Zhao's faces changed greatly. Guo has always loved her unsuccessful grandson, and it is not impossible to carry the master for money.
Guo's face changed greatly, but he still did not admit his guilt, and he said that he was wronged.
Su Junyan didn't bother to entangle, "Since you don't admit it, I have a way to make you speak." The prince and princess, although Guo is the person who married from the palace, he is the most suspicious after all. In order to find out the truth of the facts, I am ready to go to the execution, and I hope that the prince and princess Haihan. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ji said slowly, "As long as the third prince can give Yan'er an explanation, we as parents have no opinions." ”
Su Junyan looked at Su Heng and motioned for him to be punished.
Ten fingers are connected to the heart, and it is naturally painful to get on the clamping stick. However, even though Guo Shi was already pale and sweating profusely, he still did not admit his guilt.
At this moment, a guard suddenly came in a hurry and whispered in Su Junyan's ear.
After the guard left, Su Junyan looked at Guo Shi coldly, "Do you know the truth that if you can't do something for your nobles, you will become an outcast?" And the abandoned child has no use value, only discarded. Guo, you took people's money just to eliminate disasters for your family. But have you ever thought that taking money from others can also bring disaster to your family? ”
Guo Shi looked at him with a puzzled expression, not knowing what he meant.
Su Junyan said slowly, "Just now my guards came back and said, all the twenty-seven people in your house were killed overnight. Even your great-grandson, who is only five months old, is not immune. Presumably, the noble man behind you is afraid that your family will know something, so he kills people and kills them. ”
"No, it can't be." Guo screamed bitterly, "They are not dead, they are not dead. ”
Su Junyan frowned slightly, "The prince and princess are all here today, and I won't lie to you." Guo, do you still want to serve that person? ”
Guo had already burst into tears and was depressed. After a long time, she finally spoke hatefully, "The person who instructed me to poison is the second ......."
Three silver needles suddenly shot at Guo, her voice stopped abruptly, and the corners of her mouth overflowed with blood, and she fell to the ground. Su Heng immediately reacted, "There are assassins." ”
A black shadow hurriedly left in the dark, and Su Heng immediately chased after him.
Su Junyan immediately stepped forward to check on Guo's family, but he had already lost his breath. The back of her head, neck, and heart were shot into three silver needles, and it was categorically impossible for her to survive.
"It seems that no matter how heavily guarded my house is, someone still gets in." Su Junyan said slowly, "Today's poisoning of the county lord is because I didn't protect it well, and I still hope that the prince and the princess Haihan." ”
Zhao Ji's expression was as usual, "As the third prince said, it is difficult to prevent thieves from thousands of precautions, and you can't be blamed for today's incident." ”
"In the future, I will add the guards of the main courtyard of Pingting County, and I will definitely protect her safety and security."
"With the words of the three princes, the king and the princess will be at ease. It was late at night, so we took our leave. ”
When I returned to the new house, it was already the day of the third watch. Fortunately, there is no need to go to the early court for three days of marriage, and Su Junyan has fewer regrets.
He carried Li Zhenzhen to the bed, took off her shoes, socks and coat, and wanted to rest with her.
The lovely man in his arms suddenly laughed, "Brother Junyan, you have been married twice, and it is not peaceful, and God is indeed kind to you." ”
Su Junyan kissed her forehead, "As long as you are by my side, then I have never been treated lightly." Rest early, Zhenzhen. ”
"Don't." Li Zhenzhen shook her head, "Brother Junyan, I still have a few unanswered questions about tonight's matter, so I can't sleep." ”
"Zhenzhen, why do you think so much? As long as the results go in the direction we expected, isn't it? ”
She is the jewel of his hand, so there are some dark things that don't need to be known.
How do you know that she leaned on his broad chest and didn't give up, "Brother Junyan, can you solve my confusion for me?" ”
"Vera ......"
"You think it's good to hold me in the palm of your hand and take care of me, but for me, it's best to accompany you to overcome obstacles and work together." Li Zhenzhen said in a low voice, "Brother Junyan, you don't need to hide those darkness. You've got to make me aware of the dangers, or at least the ability to protect myself. ”
Su Junyan thought for a while and said slowly, "What are the places that need to be solved?" ”
"That jade earring really fell off in a hurry?"
Su Junyan smiled, "Where in the world is there such a coincidence?" The porcelain bottle that hid the poison was indeed buried by Guo, but the jade earrings were added by Su Heng just to force Guo's confession. ”
"How do you know it's Guo?"
"I'm not sure it's Guo, but after some investigation, she is the most suspicious." Su Junyan said slowly, "I want to give Zhao Wangfu an explanation immediately, so the evidence points to her." However, it is indeed crooked. ”
Li Zhenzhen thought about it, presumably Su Junyan was also so false and real to Ah Yao at the beginning, and was finally convicted.
"The last assassin who shot Guo was from our house, right?"
Su Junyan did not deny it, "Zhao Ji is very thoughtful, if Guo personally says that the mastermind behind the scenes is Su Junnuo, he will easily suspect that I am planning everything behind it." Isn't it because Su Junnuo dares to act so boldly? Since he is using poison, I can also make a plan. ”
He paused, and then continued, "Even if Guo Shi said the three words Su Junnuo, as long as he went to Zhao Ji afterwards and showed the words and evidence he had prepared in advance, Zhao Ji might not know who to believe." So, I simply let Guo's words only say half of it. The word 'two' was enough to make the people of Zhao Wangfu suspicious of Su Junnuo. ”
"Brother Junyan, in fact, it may not be a good thing to bring tonight's matter to the emperor."
Su Junyan said lightly, "I did think about this, but it's not worth the risk. Because once it is thoroughly investigated, it will lead to the fact that you detoxified Zhao Wuyan, and I am afraid that when the time comes, someone with a heart will make a fuss and lead the poisoning to you. So, now such results are good enough. ”
"Thank you." Li Zhenzhen said in a low voice, hugging him tightly.
"You and I are husband and wife, no need to say thank you." Su Junyan kissed her forehead, "Zhenzhen, sleep." ”
She leaned into his arms, unable to see each other's expressions in the dark night, and could only hear each other's breathing.
After a long time, she suddenly spoke, "Brother Junyan, the lives of the twenty-seven people in the Guo Mansion ......" The rest of the words, she didn't know whether to continue.
For a long, long time, Su Junyan didn't speak. It wasn't until Li Zhenzhen was about to fall asleep in a daze that she heard his always cold voice.
"Zhenzhen, that five-month-old child, I've already let people be properly placed."
