Chapter 260: Lies are hard to tell
I looked at Sheng Zitang and felt a little strange in my heart, obviously I didn't have full evidence to prove that Meng Xiuqi did these things, why did he rush out and admit it. On the surface, he was interceding for Meng Xiuqi, but in his words, he clearly admitted that Meng Xiuqi had done these things. Could it be that he was dissatisfied with Meng Xiuqi, so he deliberately jumped out to expose Meng Xiuqi? If that's the case, that's great, and if he's willing to tell the truth, it must be more convincing than what I say.
I looked around, and the other people had different expressions, Diao Fugui and Wang Po were huddled in the corner and looked at us curiously, looking like they wanted to watch the play but were afraid that they would get into trouble. Xiao Xuan's eyes looked straight at Sheng Zitang, her mouth was slightly open, and Sheng Zitang's sudden appearance seemed to surprise her. Niang looked at Meng Xiuqi angrily, she couldn't wait to go up and slap him, I think that if it weren't for what I said before, and Youlan Xianghui's obstruction, she would definitely rush up to question Meng Xiuqi. Princess Yuanhe was not as calm as she was just now, she glanced at Meng Xiuqi meaningfully, but she still remained silent. Meng Shaoqing frowned tightly, the expression on his face was very complicated, there were doubts, anger, and there seemed to be a trace of fear, and he looked twice between Meng Xiuqi, Sheng Zitang and me before asking, "What did you say?" What she said is true, you really ...... It's true...... Did it? ”
Sheng Zitang said: "Yes! What the county lord said was true. But everything is done by me, and it has nothing to do with the young master, please don't punish him. ”
I didn't expect Sheng Zitang to say it so bluntly, I was a little dazed for a while, and the doubt in my heart deepened.
Meng Xiuqi looked at Sheng Zitang in shock, as if he had known him for the first day, and asked, "Sheng Zitang, is that you?" It's you! Why would you want to do such a thing? ”
When Sheng Zitang heard Meng Xiuqi ask like this, he looked at Meng Xiuqi with shock and grievance, "Young Master, why are you asking me?" Don't you know what I'm for? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying! Meng Xiuqi walked up to Sheng Zitang and looked at him several times, "I remember." You used to instigate me in front of me before and let me hurt Sister Satsuki, I didn't agree, I was strange at the time, but I thought you were thinking about me, and I didn't think deeply. Now that I think about it, you must have some purpose. Say, who are you, why do you want to harm me, why do you want to harm Sister Xiaoyue? ”
Sheng Zitang seemed to be very sad when he heard this, lowered his head sadly, and his voice was a little choked, "The subordinate is a young master, and there is absolutely no selfishness." No matter how the young master treated his subordinates, his subordinates recognized it. The subordinates are willing to die for the young master, I only hope that after the death of the subordinates, the young master, you can occasionally go to the graves of your subordinates to see your subordinates, and your subordinates will die without regrets. ”
I scratched my head, a little puzzled, what was going on? Originally, Meng Xiuqi and I confronted each other, but now why has it become their master and servant to accuse each other. Which one are they playing? Why is this Sheng Zitang so strange, it seems that every sentence is speaking for Meng Xiuqi, but every sentence betrays Meng Xiuqi.
Sheng Zitang's words completely angered Meng Xiuqi, Meng Xiuqi grabbed Sheng Zitang and said angrily: "Who are you? Why are you framing me! ”
Meng Shaoqing shouted: "Xiu Qi, you let go!" ”
Meng Xiuqi was awakened by Meng Shaoqing's broken drink, immediately let go of his hand, ran to Princess Yuanhe and Meng Shaoqing and knelt down, "Father-in-law, I really didn't send anyone to hurt Sister Xiaoyue, you have to believe me." It was you who rescued me and treated me like my own son, so how could I take revenge? This Sheng Zitang must have been instructed by someone, you must not fall for him! The child felt that Sheng Zitang should be tortured and made to spit out who instructed him. ”
Meng Xiuqi's sincere words made Princess Yuanhe and Meng Shaoqing hesitate again, "You get up first, what is going on, we will definitely investigate clearly, if you are really wronged, you will definitely be innocent." "In the end, they have raised him for so many years, and the relationship must be very deep, and they still don't want to doubt him emotionally, right? Not to mention Sheng Zitang's words, even if it was me, they would rather believe Meng Xiuqi's words than my words, right?
Meng Shaoqing said: "Sheng Zitang, since you said that everything was done by you, you should explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly." ”
"Yes, all the subordinates said it. Here's the thing, since the lady and the county lord came to the mansion for the first time, the young master has often been worried, worried that after they arrive at the mansion, his status will plummet, and you will snub him. Later, I heard that the county lord was made the county lord by the emperor before he entered the palace. The young master remembered that he had been the son of a princess and a colt for so many years, but he didn't have any titles, and he felt a little sad. I saw that the young master was depressed all day long, so I thought that we, as young masters, should solve his problems for him, so I said that I have a way to make them never come to the princess's mansion. When the young master heard this, he asked me what to do, and I said, but the young master began to disagree, so I said that we didn't need to do it, and even if it was discovered, no one would know that we did it. The young master thought about it and finally agreed. ”
Meng Xiuqi couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this, and pointed at Sheng Zitang and scolded: "You are talking nonsense. Sister Xiaoyue and Mrs. came to the house, it's too late for me and me to be happy for my father, how can I be jealous of them. Also, you often speak ill of Sister Xiaoyue in front of me, saying that she came to the house without thinking, and I am afraid that she was instructed by someone to provoke me to be dissatisfied with Sister Xiaoyue. Now it seems that you must have been instructed by someone to sow discord between us. ”
I couldn't tell for a moment who was telling the truth and who was lying. I was sure that Meng Xiuqi wanted to harm me, but Sheng Zitang's strange performance made people have to be suspicious. I had no choice but to say, "Meng Xiuqi, you let him finish." Are you afraid that he will finish speaking? Sheng Zitang, you keep talking! ”
Sheng Zitang looked at me in embarrassment, "County Lord, my subordinates don't dare to say it." ”
"What are you afraid of, there is a princess and a colt here, he doesn't dare to do anything to you!"
Sheng Zitang looked at Meng Xiuqi before continuing: "At that time, the county lord and his wife lived in the Luo Wangfu, and I knew that the Luo Wangfu was heavily guarded, and they couldn't enter at all. So he sent Duan Xing to disguise himself and go to Huweimen to hire a few killers, and let them go to Luowangfu to squat and try their luck. Sure enough, they caught an opportunity, but unfortunately they missed it. I knew that they had missed, and I was very panicked, so I discussed with the young master what to do, and the young master was also very scared when he knew it, afraid that if this matter was revealed, he would be finished. Just let me kill the people of Huweimen and Duan Xing, so that no one will know that this matter has something to do with him. I didn't want to, but thinking that I had stabbed such a big basket for the young master, of course I had to solve it for the young master. So he asked Duan Xing to ask the killers of Huweimen out and secretly killed them. After that, I tricked Duan Xing into my room and strangled him with a rope......"
