"Ahh I couldn't help but exclaim, and the others changed color. Although I thought that Duan Xing might have been killed by them, it was just speculation, and now I heard Sheng Zitang admit it in person, I was still a little shocked. No wonder Jia Siwen didn't come back for a long time, he knew that they were so ruthless, so he temporarily locked Yan Zheng up in Luowang's Mansion.

I steadied myself, calmed myself down, and asked Sheng Zitang, "You said that Duan Xing has been strangled to death by you?" ”

"Yes!"

"Where did you hide his body?"

"Throw it in a dry well in the red maple orchard!"

I looked at Princess Yuanhe and Meng Shaoqing, Meng Shaoqing blushed, and immediately called Steward Wu in, "Steward Wu, you send a few people to the Red Maple Garden to have a look!" ”

"Yes!" Steward Wu ordered a few subordinates to go.

There was silence in the room for a while, there were so many people in this room, but no one spoke, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment. The sky seemed to be more gloomy, as if the next moment night would fall, and a cold wind swept in through the door, blowing the wooden door with a creak, making the already cold room even colder like an ice cellar. I think many people must feel very cold and cold like me at this moment, not only because the cold wind is ruthless, but also because people are unpredictable.

At this time, others dare not and it is difficult to say anything, after all, their identity makes them unable to speak casually. Princess Yuanhe and Meng Shaoqing I think they must not want to believe Sheng Zitang's words, and they must be hoping that they will not find Duan Xing in the Red Maple Garden at this moment.

No matter why this Sheng Zitang is so abnormal, no matter what, his words are consistent with what I know, and there is no reason for me not to believe his words.

At this moment, I opened my mouth, "Sheng Zitang, you go on!" ”

"Yes, County Lord!" When Sheng Zitang heard my words, he didn't hesitate and immediately continued, "Later, the county lord suddenly came to the mansion, and the young master was even more afraid, afraid that the county lord would expose his crimes in front of the princess and the concubine, so he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the county lord was not stable in the princess's mansion, and let us find a way to get rid of the county lord." But because King Luo still has that poison master Jia Siwen in the house, we don't dare to make a rash move. So after they all left, they knew that the county lord liked to eat some small snacks, so they put fine spice and quinoa in the osmanthus cake in advance, planning to poison the county lord unknowingly. It happened that Xiao Xuan, the county lord's maid, went to the kitchen to get snacks for the county lord. I took the opportunity to drag Xiao Xuan and asked Yun Xia to mix the osmanthus cake that had been prepared with other snacks for Xiao Xuan to bring in. It's just that I didn't expect the county lord to be so smart and see through our tricks. ”

After speaking, Sheng Zitang kowtowed to me and my mother, and then kowtowed to Princess Yuanhe and Meng Shaoqing, "Princess and Mrs. Princess, although the young master has a loss of virtue, but all the evil things are done by me, I believe that the young master must regret it very much, please give him a chance to reform himself." Sheng Zitang is willing to die on his behalf, and I hope you will fulfill Sheng Zitang's loyalty. ”

Meng Xiuqi was originally sitting on the ground dejectedly, but when he heard Sheng Zitang say this, he staggered to his feet and slowly walked towards Sheng Zitang, "You are going to die for me?" Fulfill your faithfulness? Meng Xiuqi laughed, "Hahaha......"

Meng Xiuqi suddenly stopped laughing, his eyebrows and hair raised in anger, "It's ridiculous, I don't know anything about what you said, what you said is all framed." I didn't know that you sent Duan Xing to Huwei Gate, and I didn't let you hurt Sister Xiaoyue at all. ”

Meng Xiuqi fell to his knees with a thud, "Father-in-law, I really didn't do such a thing, you have to believe me." So far, I'll be honest, I admit that I don't like Sister Satsuki, she's too arrogant and too blind. I also admit that I bought Diao Fugui and Wang Po, but I really didn't want to hurt her. ”

I sneered, "You're finally willing to admit that you bought them, I didn't wronged you." He was finally willing to tell the truth.

Meng Xiuqi turned his head to look at me, his eyes were very complicated, but he just glanced at me and turned his head away, "But I'm not doing this for myself, it's for you." Now that the situation is unstable, Dad, you shouldn't be involved at this time, and her appearance makes you have to participate. I'm afraid that Sister Xiaoyue's temperament and personality will bring disadvantage to you, and even bring great disaster. So I hope she can leave, I just want them to leave. I listened to the demagogy of Sheng Zitang, Lu Bin and others, so I bribed Diao Fugui and Wang Po, just to let them leave. But I really didn't send someone to kill her, I really didn't, I just wanted to get rid of her. ”

"You...... You...... Actually...... Alas! Meng Shaoqing pointed at Meng Xiuqi and shook his head sadly, speechless.

"Xiuqi, you ......" Princess Yuanhe sighed, and she was speechless with anger.

After all, they still have feelings for their son who has been raised for more than ten years, and they still don't want to believe that he would do such a thing.

I said angrily: "You have deceived the princess and the concubine, but you can't fool me." What is for their sake, you are your own selfish desires. Since you have admitted this matter, why don't you admit everything? “

Meng Xiuqi turned his head to look at me, although the disgust in his eyes was still there, but there was a little more meaning that I couldn't understand, "Sister Xiaoyue, I know that you looked at me pleasing to the eye from the beginning. You think that you have not had a father all these years, but I robbed your father, robbed the home that should have belonged, and robbed you of your glory and wealth, so you are dissatisfied. Actually, you are wrong, it wasn't me who robbed you, even if there was no me, what should have happened still happened, and you still can't get it if it doesn't belong to you. What belongs to you, sooner or later will be yours. ”

I said, "Yes, you're right, I don't like you." But it's not because you're robbing me of something, it's because you're too mean. I'm telling you, if you hadn't been clever enough to get rid of me, I wouldn't have come to the Princess's Mansion at all. What glory and wealth, what county lord, bullshit, I am not rare. I just want to go back to Tengcheng with my mother, and we live happily together. It's smoky here, and I hate it. ”

Meng Xiuqi was stunned for a moment when he heard me say this. I didn't seem to think so.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "I forgot, you met a nobleman." He looked at the princess and Meng Shaoqing, and then looked at me and said, "Perhaps, if you meet a nobleman, you can't look down on the princess's mansion at all." But, no matter what, he's your father. In the past few days, you have also seen how they treat you, and you must not be taken advantage of by people with ulterior intentions to do things that hurt your relatives. ”

"What do you mean by that?" I didn't understand what Meng Xiuqi meant for a while, but I didn't need to understand what he said, so I didn't think about what he meant anymore.

At this time, Steward Wu came back, so everyone looked at him, and Meng Shaoqing immediately asked, "Steward Wu, how is it?" ”

Steward Wu glanced at Meng Xiuqi before he said, "Duan Xing was found at the bottom of the well, he was already dead, and there were rope strangulation marks on his neck. ”

As soon as Steward Wu said this, Princess Yuanhe and Meng Shaoqing had to believe it even if they didn't want to believe it.

Meng Shaoqing walked up to Meng Xiuqi, his eyes were full of heartache, "Xiuqi, Dad has always thought that you are kind in your heart, Dad really doesn't want to believe you, and he won't do such a thing." Now Dad can't believe you, you've disappointed Dad too much. ”

Meng Xiuqi's face was as dead as ashes, and he looked at Meng Shaoqing blankly, "Dad, don't you even believe me?" ”

"How do you make me believe you?"

Meng Xiuqi lowered his head and said weakly, "I really didn't do such a thing, I didn't!" ”

But no one will be convinced by such a pale and feeble justification.

Meng Shaoqing said: "Someone! ”

Two guards with knives walked in from the outside, looking at Meng Shaoqing and waiting for him to speak.

Meng Shaoqing looked at Meng Xiuqi, Meng Xiuqi also looked at Meng Shaoqing, the two looked at each other silently, neither spoke, but there seemed to be countless words in their eyes, and Meng Shaoqing sighed for a long time, "Send him to the official mansion." As for who is telling the truth and who is lying, let the government ask. Tell the people in the government that they can be tried how they should be tried, and there is no need to show favoritism. Go ahead! ”

"Yes!"

The two guards escorted Meng Xiuqi and Sheng Zitang and were about to go out, Meng Xiuqi seemed unwilling to be escorted away like this, broke free from the guards holding him, ran to Meng Shaoqing's side, pulled the corner of Meng Shaoqing's clothes, and cried: "Dad, don't you really remember our father-son relationship over the years, and you want to send me to the government?" Dad, why don't you believe me? ”

Looking at Meng Xiuqi like this, I don't know why I didn't feel the slightest joy, but I felt a little uneasy. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of my eyes, and then I heard a "choking" sound.
