Beheading? Is it that serious? Doesn't it mean that Dong Ruiyang is the emperor's big trouble, even if he dies, most of them will only be reprimanded? Ning Subai was shocked by Xiao Qinglang's casual words, and immediately asked with wide eyes and stunned.

Xiao Qinglang's face was expressionless, and he slowly fiddled with his cuffs, ignoring Ning Subai's nervous and nervous appearance.

The calmer he was, the more overwhelmed Ning Subai became.

The room fell silent in an instant, but it was this silence that made Ning Subai think more and more deeply.

Before, he was only complacent about his secret methods, but he had never thought about it carefully, but now that he thought about it again, it seemed that it was really as Xiao Qinglang said. Although his father is a marquis of the protector of the country, he is also a marquis with military merits, and now he has committed a life lawsuit, and he is still the person who left a will to protect the emperor

I don't know how long it took, until Ning Subai couldn't sit still, and his body was constantly writhing, Xiao Qinglang said indifferently, "Since ancient times, killing people has paid for their lives, and the so-called merits and demerits have never been counted in the traitor department." Nowadays, there has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, so how can we use mere military merits to offset the crime of murder? ”

After a pause, he said again, "You should know that when the three princes were demoted to concubines, it is a sentence today that the son of heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so do you think the emperor will indulge a person who dares to commit murder in the three law divisions because of his jealousy of the Dong family?" ”

said that it was a murder in the Three Laws Division, or it was light. To put it more seriously, isn't that just provoking the imperial court?

Ning Subai's expression became more and more ugly, at this time, he had long lost his previous agility, but instead had a lifeless appearance.

He didn't speak, but Xiao Qinglang didn't stop.

"However, this king is very curious, the protector of the country obviously left the mansion that day, and there are many people near the Hou mansion, so he has no chance to sneak back. Even if you can enter through the wall of the mansion next to it, it is difficult to hide people's eyes. So, how did he sneak back to the Hou Mansion without anyone knowing? If there is a secret way, where are the attendants and horses who follow him placed? ”

Ning Subai pursed his lips, but when he opened his mouth, he only felt that his throat was dry and painful, and he couldn't make a sound nervously. Or, at this time, he didn't know what to say

"The Lord Protector has been imprisoned until tomorrow morning when the case is reported to the king, and the emperor will dispose of the two of them. You will be able to get rid of the resentment in your heart" Xiao Qinglang seemed to smile but not laugh, and his words meant something.

Ning Subai looked at his calm face, his heart tightened, a pair of clear eyes flashed a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Wang, maybe there is something wrong in the middle." ”

Xu felt that what he said was too vague, and he continued to add, "Although he is not quiet, he is also a man in the end, and the backyard is empty, so it is not impossible to look for flowers and ask willows when he is resting." Didn't I look for him for the wine of Chunhualou before? The prince might as well send someone to ask."

At this time, there was obviously a bit of hope and entanglement in his eyes, and it was really three hundred taels of silver here.

Xiao Qinglang's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "You guessed accurately, I didn't expect Su Bai to know so much about the whereabouts of the Protector in the palace." ”

"It's a pity that the old bustard of Chunhualou and Aunt Hong both committed suicide, what happened that day, I'm afraid the protector can't tell you how to do it."

"What?" Hearing this, Ning Subai's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

Isn't it just as long as Dong Ruiyang dies? How did Aunt Hong and the bustard lose their lives?

Somehow, Ning Subai only felt a chill in his back, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into an abyss, as if he had fallen into a cold pool of three feet in ice. The chill, with a terrible horror, made his teeth tremble.

Seeing that Xiao Qinglang was still silent, he became more and more afraid in his heart, and finally muttered, "How can this be?" Aunt Hong clearly said that she would not implicate others. ”

Xiao Qinglang squinted, "A secret passage connected to the palace, coupled with the fact that the son of the world framed his father, and Dong Ruiyang's sensitive and special identity, which one is not involved in the whole body?" Even if they don't commit suicide, do you think they will have a better end if they fall into the hands of the yamen? ”

Not to mention that Aunt Hong has no relatives, let's just say that Chunhua will not escape up and down the floor.

"Now, the two of them are dead, and if the Protector confesses to death, I think he will be doomed tomorrow morning."

This time, when Xiao Qinglang said it, he didn't have any expression or deep meaning, but it was the tone of the matter that made Ning Subai tremble even more.

Ning Subai looked at Xiao Qinglang's calm eyes, and his heart became more and more afraid, and finally couldn't help but blurt out, "Then what if he is not the mastermind?" ”

Xiao Qinglang said, his eyes narrowed, and his tone turned sharply and said coldly, "So, are you willing to say it?" ”

Ning Subai was dumbfounded, and he was in a dilemma for a while, not knowing how to speak.

"Since you don't know where to start, let this king say it first. In fact, Dong Ruiyang's case is not without doubts. ”

"Although the old bustard of Chunhualou is dead, there are dozens of people up and down it, if you want to interrogate, this king can't think of an answer tonight."

"Besides, the king is also very curious. The purse that Su Bai carries on his body all day long, he is about to jump when he is touched by someone on weekdays, how could he leave it so carelessly in the Protector's Mansion this time? ”

As he spoke, he took the purse from his sleeve pocket and pressed his finger on the table.

"Su Bai has something to say?"

Ning Subai gritted his teeth, but after a long time, he still said in a dumb voice, "I, I didn't expect this, it's such a big fuss."

He is still a pure and good young man, even if he was blinded for a while because of the resentment in his heart, he never thought that he really let his father lose his life.

In fact, he did so many things at first, just to learn a lesson from the Marquis of the country. When the time comes, the protector will be in trouble, and he will only vent his anger. But I didn't expect this matter to come to this point

"But, how could the prince suspect me?" Ning Subai is Ning Subai in the end, even at this time, he still doesn't forget to ask Xiao Qinglang for advice.

Xiao Qinglang sighed, raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

In this way, Ning Subai could only look at Xu Chu, and the appearance of his eyes was very pitiful.

Xu Chu saw that Xiao Qinglang's face was not good, and then looked at Ning Subai, who was pouting and waiting, and said in his heart that the world said that King Jing'an had no weaknesses, and according to him, Ning Subai could really be regarded as his nemesis. Let him want to cool his heart, but he can't get cold, he wants to be angry but can't get angry, it's really aggrieved.

She saw that Xiao Qinglang didn't mean to stop her, so she accepted the pen and paper and explained, "First, I am sure that the Protector was really not in the house that day, and the Protector himself does not recognize any turtles, let alone its medicinal properties. Second, when I examined Dong Ruiyang's corpse, I saw that there was a residual paste-like thing in his mouth, which was obviously a pill or a pill or something. Based on this premise, it is naturally much easier to speculate further. ”

"Although he has a very deadlocked relationship with your father and son, in the final analysis, he also hates iron and steel, so if he is to blame for anyone, then you are one of the most suspicious objects."

"In addition to the above speculations, the most important thing is that the person who appeared in Aunt Hong's room and was mistaken for the Marquis of the Protector must be very familiar with the Hou Mansion, so that he entered and exited Aunt Hong's courtyard without alarming others. In addition, the person's appearance and posture are similar to that of the Protector, so it is not surprising to think of you when it is ruled out that he is not the illegitimate son of the Protector. ”

"And the purse in the prince's hand, I don't know the inside story, but the prince can see at a glance that it is an object that you look very heavy at. As a relic of the Protector's wife, I think it is the sustenance of your feelings for the Protector, so it will never be given to it easily, let alone to the Protector who is very resentful in his heart."

"In the end, this matter, from Guanyin to Fanmu Turtle to Protector Hou, all clues can always involve you no matter how they turn, so your suspicion is naturally the greatest. When I first examined the body, my old father warned me that sometimes the least suspicious person is often the most suspicious. ”

She originally wanted to talk about the teacher, but just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered that the place she was in was Da Zhou, and immediately changed her words. It's also thanks to the fact that she uses her father's name as a cover many times, so she is used to it.

"The prince is in the palace compound, and it may not be a way to get out that he has already thought of. Or, taking the opportunity to get a convenience, he wants to sneak back to the Hou Mansion through the secret passage leading from the palace to the British Mansion. ”

Because Ning Subai was seriously injured and shouted pain every day, coupled with his verbal hints, Mrs. Zhao made painkiller pills for him to take. And that pill, it seems that the dosage is controlled very accurately, but if Ning Subai hides it and mixes it into a pill for Dong Ruiyang to eat, then Dong Ruiyang will inevitably be poisoned.

Coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, the poisonous energy will only attack more severely.

"If that's all our speculation before entering the palace. When I saw you, I and the prince were completely sure of this matter. ”

"Shizi's recent inability to swallow and his poor appetite and his pale face due to pain prove that you have not taken the painkiller pills on time. And I also swept the wound on your back, although the injury is indeed getting worse, but it must have been caused by the bruise from the beginning. Don't say that blood circulation and blood stasis removal is not an incurable disease, even if the injury is really inappropriate, I think it is impossible for many doctors in the hospital to do nothing. ”
