Chapter 259: An Unexpected Plea of Guilt
When I said Duan Xing's name, Meng Xiuqi was stunned, "Duan Xing? He blurted out, "You...... How did you come to know Duan Xing? "I don't know if he was shocked because he didn't expect me to know Duan Xing, or because he was afraid that he would be caught by me.
Instead of answering his question, I continued to ask, "Never mind how I know him." I'll just ask you, where did he go? ”
Meng Xiuqi looked at me vigilantly, his eyes drooped, covering those gloomy eyes, as if he was secretly thinking about something, he paused and said, "He has returned to his hometown!" He said that his relatives in his hometown had written that his mother was seriously ill and that he wanted to go back to see his mother, so I asked him to go back to his hometown. ”
"Really?" I immediately answered, "Have you really gone back to your hometown?" I think you're afraid he'll reveal your secrets and kill him, right? ”
Meng Xiuqi was furious when he heard this, and said angrily a series of "you...... You...... You ......"
I didn't wait for him to refute, and immediately added: "What am I! I'll tell you all for you. The princess and the colt have no heirs, and although you are not their own son, they ......"
"How do you know?" Meng Shaoqing suddenly interrupted my words, and Princess Yuanhe and Meng Shaoqing looked at me together, as if they were surprised that I actually knew about it. Meng Xiuqi lowered his head, but from the heavier breathing and clenched fists, he was very concerned. Niang also glanced at Meng Xiuqi in surprise, as if she had just learned about it. I realized that they had never told me that Meng Xiuqi was not his biological son. Thinking about it, I understand that he must not want us to know, first, because he feels that he has no face, but he is afraid that we will feel that we want to recognize me because we have no heirs.
I said, "It's not a secret, I'll find out when I find someone." ”
"Oh!" Meng Shaoqing nodded and didn't say anything.
"Where did I go?" I was interrupted by Meng Shaoqing, and I forgot what I had just said, and complained: "You interrupted my train of thought, don't interject when I speak." ”
I thought about it and thought about it, snorted coldly at Meng Xiuqi, and continued: "You have become the only heir to the princess's mansion, and everything in this mansion will be yours in the future." Although a person is envious of what he can't get, he won't have any deep feelings, and he will be afraid of losing what he gets, and if he waits until he gets it and then loses it, I'm afraid it will be worse than death. And my appearance makes you feel a sense of crisis, you are afraid that after I appear, they will no longer like you, you are afraid that I will rob you of your position in the princess's mansion, so you have evil thoughts in your heart and want to get rid of me. So I sent your henchman Duan Xing to Huweimen to kill me ******, but the Luowang Mansion was heavily guarded, and they couldn't get in, so they had to squat at the gate of the Luowang Mansion to find an opportunity. That day, I had something to go out alone, they finally seized this opportunity, secretly ambushed the killer, if it wasn't for King Luo sent guards to protect me secretly, and saved me at a critical time, your conspiracy would have succeeded, and I would have died in your hands. ”
After saying such a long list of words, I changed my tone and planned to continue, but Meng Xiuqi finally seized the opportunity to speak, and immediately said: "You are talking nonsense, I have not sent Duan Xing to Huweimen, and I have not sent someone to kill you." ”
"You say no, no, no? King Luo's guards captured a killer of the Huwei Gate named Yan Zheng, and he recruited everything. He said that it was Duan Xing from the Princess's Mansion who spent money to hire them. Duan Xing is your person, he has no grievances with me, and I don't even know him, why did he kill me? Since you said that you didn't send Duan Xing to Huweimen, then you brought Duan Xing over, and we confronted him face to face? ”
"You ......" Meng Xiuqi said angrily, "I said that Duan Xing would return to his hometown, how did you let him confront him?" ”
He insisted that Duan Xing had returned to his hometown, could it be that Duan Xing had really returned to his hometown? Whether it's or not, I can only bite this matter. It's all because Jia Siwen hasn't come back yet, and it's all because I can't hold my breath.
I said, "Since you can't find him, then he must have killed you." If you don't admit it, it's useless, and this evidence is enough to prove that you did it. I advise you to admit it as soon as possible, you take the initiative to admit it, and when the government sentences and convicts, it can still give you a lenient sentence. ”
Meng Xiuqi snorted coldly, "What I didn't do, why should I admit it!" ”
"You didn't do it, you didn't do it, you can't find Duan Xing? Duan Xing, you found it! Jia Siwen, you have already gone to Huweimen to take Yan Zheng, and you will be back soon, I see when you still have a hard mouth! ”
"I said I didn't kill you, no!" Meng Xiuqi's green tendons burst out, his face turned red, he took a step forward, his right hand slowly raised, I was afraid that he would hit me I couldn't help but take a step back, Meng Xiuqi's five fingers slowly bent into a fist, and his fingers were a little white due to the force.
He said viciously: "Although I really hate you, but I really never sent anyone to kill you, no matter what, you are your father's daughter, they are so kind to me, I swear I will never do such a thing that is unconscionable." I don't know if someone is really trying to kill you. Or are these all of your fabricated evidence of lies in order to frame me for some ulterior purpose? ”
I looked at his fists clenched with anger, his eyes cold with disgust, and suddenly a trace of doubt flashed in my heart, could there really be something else hidden? But he soon denied that he must have said this in order to exonerate himself.
I said, "Don't say such useless words. I have the ability to come up with evidence! You will let Duan Xing come out and testify for you! ”
"I said, he has already returned to his hometown in Sichuan, and it is impossible to come back immediately."
"If you can't let Duan Xing come out, it means that you killed him."
Meng Xiuqi was so angry that he didn't choose to speak, "Can't you understand people's words?" I said that he went back to his hometown, and that there are thousands of miles away from the capital in Sichuan, and even if he sends someone to call now, it will take at least more than a month to go back and forth, do you want to wait for him to come back? ”
I sneered, "It's not that I can't understand human words, it's that what you say is not human words, so I can't understand them." It seems that he was really killed by you! Say, where did you hide his body? ”
"Ahh Meng Xiuqi shouted, jumping to his feet angrily, he was going crazy like that, "Don't mess around, okay." He's back home! If you really have to look for him, I'll send someone to call him now, but I won't be back until a month later, will you wait? ”
"If you can't call him out now, you'll kill him. If you have a clear conscience, don't you dare to have someone search your room. ”
"You're not from the government, why are you searching my room!"
"If I didn't say I searched, then the people from the government will search it!"
"You ......"
For a while, we were at a stalemate, and I had no evidence that he hired a murderer, and the matter of osmanthus cake made Dr. Ou look like he had been bought by me, which was unconvincing. Meng Xiuqi also had no way to call Duan Xing out, let alone prove that he was not guilty.
The others looked at me and Meng Xiuqi arguing with each other, and no one interjected, and of course they couldn't interject. Except for my mother, who always believed in me, everyone else kept moving between me and Meng Xiuqi, their eyes a little hesitant, as if they couldn't decide whether to believe my words or Meng Xiuqi's words.
At this time, a person suddenly rushed in from the courtyard, and as soon as the person came in, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and pleaded guilty, "Sheng Zitang is guilty, and it is not a pity to die, so I ask the princess to punish the princess." The young master will only do such a thing when he is confused, please don't punish the princess and the princess, if you have to be held responsible, you will execute your subordinates, everything is done by your subordinates, and it has nothing to do with the young master. ”
