Chapter 99: I Didn't Kill
Xia Yu will never forget such a scene in his life, there is a girl lying next to her covered in blood, her eyes are like copper bells, staring at Xia Yu. And in her hand, she held a dagger covered in blood. The cold, piercing blood made her body tremble violently.
I only heard a "clang" sound, and the dagger fell to the ground.
What sounded in her ears was the shrill screams of others, and she sat in a pool of blood in a daze.
"No, no, no, it's not me, it's not me!" She hurriedly got up, lowered her eyebrows and looked at the dead girl, cold and terrible.
The night was dark, and she didn't know where she was going.
This is in front of a secluded house, the dead girl is disheveled, and her chest is wounded. There is no more blood gushing out.
She crouched down tremblingly, reaching out to probe the girl's snort.
No breathing!
Xia Yu sat down on the ground again, she had seen dead people, she had seen dead bodies. But she had never killed anyoneβshe didn't kill this person, so how could she kill anyone? There were footsteps running around quickly, and many people gathered here.
Xia Yu wanted to run, but he didn't know where to run.
The people surrounded her in the middle, gritting their teeth with hatred, "It's her!" She killed the man! She killed! β
"I didn't kill it, I didn't kill it!" Summer Rain screamed.
The crowd parted ways, and the officials ran quickly, trying to catch Xia Yu without saying a word.
"It's not me!" Summer rain struggles.
"Whether it's you or not, bring it back and talk about it!" The head catcher snorted coldly, and his cold eyes were full of conclusive evidence of guilt.
Xia Yu is not a person who is tied up, usually in the Daizhou Mansion, she often goes in and out of the government prison, but this time is different. What is the crime of murder, Xia Yu knows very well. Murder pays for life. It's going to lose your head. If you don't confess your sin, you will be punished!
"I said, I didn't kill it." Xia Yu's shoulders shook, and a volley broke free from the shackles of the servants. She gasped, her little face pale. "When I woke up, she was dead. It's not about me! β
"Dare to arrest! Get her! The head catcher snorted coldly, and the officials rushed up.
Xia Yu ran away, and if he was caught, he would die.
Behind him, the noise continued, Xia Yu ignored it and ran forward desperately.
Who knows, catch the head and volley. Fell in front of her, blocking her path.
"I said, I was wronged, and I didn't kill people." Xia Yu tiptoed a little, jumped up in the air, stepped on the wall, and swung his fist towards the head, "Get out of the way!" β
The head catcher obviously didn't expect Xia Yu's move, and immediately greeted it with a palm. Xia Yu was frightened, spun around in the air, and landed steadily. Leaned over and swept his legs, a leap, intending to break out of the encirclement of the officials.
Who knew that the next moment, the head-catching knife was already on Xia Yu's neck.
"Take it back!" The head catcher shouted, and the officials rushed up and directly held Xia Yu down. The iron rope tied his wrist and brought it back directly to the yamen of the criminal department.
It was a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old who died, and this case naturally had to be included in the "Missing Girl" of the Criminal Department.
In the prison of the Criminal Department, Xia Yu kicked at the door of the prison and shouted, "Let me out, you have arrested the wrong person." I didn't kill people, I was wronged! Let me out, I'm going to find Lord Rui, you go to Lord Rui, he will prove my innocence. β
At this time, if you don't move out of Zhao Laojiu, you can't do it!
Life is at stake, you can do whatever you want, as long as you can live!
"What roar? If you roar again, you'll suffer a little. Lord Rui? Hmph, just by you, can you enter the Rui Palace? Save your energy! The jailer sneered, "I see you, it's better to think about how to sign and draw later." If you are sensitive, you can give you a good time, and you can save a full meal before you die, otherwiseβyou will have a good time. Entering this prison of the Criminal Department, he is one step away from the Netherworld. β
Xia Yu pursed his lips, "Bother this big brother, can you send a letter to my family?" β
"What, why did you let Lao Tzu go to Rui Wang's Mansion to touch the mold?" The jailer threw a whip on the cell door, startling Xia Yu to hurriedly retreat, so that he was not thrown in the face by the whip. Death on the island of the low formation.
"No, no, my second brother is walking in the Wenhua Palace, and I bother this eldest brother to do well and report a message to the family." She thought for a moment and prepared to take out her valuables from her small bag and give them away. But-since it is a prison of the Criminal Department, I am afraid that this bit of broken silver will not be able to call the jailers outside.
Gritting his teeth, Xia Yu handed over the half of the jade pendant left by Zhao Lu to the jailer, "Brother Troublesome help, my family has money, and I will definitely not treat you badly when the time comes." β
The jailer was about to swing the whip and glanced at the half jade pendant in Xia Yu's hand.
The jade is transparent, like condensation.
This is a fine mutton fat white jade, a good thing!
Although he is a jailer, he inevitably accepts some money and goods on weekdays, and he also has a pair of tricky eyes, so he naturally recognizes these good things. The jailer saw that it was indeed a good thing that only the rich and noble could use, and immediately put it in his sleeve.
"Wait!" The jailer took the things, and Xia Yu told him Liang Yiru's address.
Now, just waiting for Liang Yiru, the big savior, to save her.
Xia Yu suddenly remembered the days in Daizhou Mansion, Liang Yiru was the son of the prefect, and every time she fell into prison, Liang Yiru always went to mention people. After going there more times, the jailers recognized her, so they didn't need to inform Liang Yiru. Go back and gamble, and then get the jailers drunk, and she'll be able to get out. Anyway, she didn't commit much of a crime, at most she was caught gambling together, or fighting in the street, disturbing people, burglary, etc.
No matter how many locks those big families installed, she still came in and out freely.
Uncle Hai said that her talent is extremely high, and if she can put all those thoughts on martial arts, her achievements will definitely be different. But it's a pity that Xia Yu is impatient. She was not interested in anything other than her gambling skills and clever hands.
Sitting alone in the prison, Xia Yu leaned against the wall with a stack of straw, and didn't know when the nerd would come to save her. Originally, if Zhao Laojiu knew, he would definitely be able to take her out quickly, but it's a pity - she said that she had a lot to do with Zhao Laojiu, but who believed it?
One is the high-ranking Rui Wangye, and the other is a female ruffian who hangs her child, alas-
Xia Yu shook his head, closed his eyes helplessly, and came in, let's rest, sleep when I can, and eat when I can.
ββββββββββββββ
When Liang Yiru learned the news, it was already dawn. After breakfast, I was drinking tea and reading a book in the yard, and I heard that Xia Yu was murderous, and I entered the prison of the Criminal Department, and the cup in my hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the tea poured to the ground in an instant.
Xiang Yi took the silver and sent the jailer who reported the news, "Childe? β
"How can you kill someone?" Liang Yiru frowned, "Her temperament, you say that she is fooling around, but it is credible, murder?" Killing chickens, ducks, and fish is pretty much the same. He put down his book and hurried out, babbling along the way.
After following Liang Yiru for so long, Xiang Yi naturally knew that Gongzi was really anxious this time, otherwise Gongzi would not have been so fragmented.
"Childe, where are you going?" Xiang Yi asked.
Liang Yiru paused, "Xiangyi, go and bring the map of mountains and rivers of a thousand autumns given by my father." β
Xiang Yi Zhong was stunned, "Childe, that's a good thing that you begged for the master to give, is-"
"No matter how good a thing is, if a person is gone, what else do you want to do with it?" Liang Yiru's face turned pale, "If you want to go, you will go, nonsense." Hurry up and get it! I'm going to Shen Mansion. β
"Childe?" Xiang Yi was reluctant, opened his mouth, and failed to beat Liang Yiru in the end. Holding the picture scroll in his arms, Xiang Yi followed Liang Yiru silently, "Childe, if you let the master know, it is estimated that my leg will be broken." β
Liang Yiru took a deep breath, "If my father asks, I will bear it." What's more, what he gave me, it was mine. β
The carriage rushed towards the Shen Mansion quickly.
"Childe, in fact, we can go and ask Lord Rui, hasn't Miss Xia been staying in King Rui's Mansion all the time?" Appropriately low openings.
Liang Yiru didn't speak.
"Childe, let's not give this thing away, change it to something else." It is appropriate to hold the painting scroll and not let go.
"Thousands of riches, what a pity." He muttered to himself, "If the prince intervenes in this matter, it will inevitably be suspected of covering up." The Rui Wangfu and the Regent Wangfu have been fighting privately for many years, and Ah Yu is deeply liked by the Rui Wangye, but- after all, she is just a woman, how can she mess up the overall situation of the world? Her business is my business, and there is no need for others to interfere. I won't go to him unless I have to. β
Xiangyi pouted, "Childe is reluctant!" β
"Mouthy." Liang Yiru reprimanded.
Xiangyi was silent and lowered his head and sighed softly.
In front of the Shen Mansion, Liang Yiru looked up at the plaque standing tall. In the past, the white-clothed man is now different.
"Looking for whom?" The family at the door stopped Liang Yiru.
Liang Yiru stepped forward, "This big brother, is Lord Shilang at home?" β
The family looked Liang Yiru up and down, "Who are you?" β
"Xiaguan Wenhua Hall walked Liang Yiru, paid homage to Lord Shilang, and hoped that this big brother would give a good voice." Liang Yiru's eyes were anxious, but he was still not rude, and he was extremely elegant.
"Wait!" The family shouted, turned around and walked in.
Shen Hao was practicing calligraphy in the study, and when he heard a report from Jiading, saying that it was Liang Yiru's visit, his eyebrows instantly condensed slightly, and he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, "Liang Yiru? How did he get here? β
The attendant Xu Fu lowered his voice, "Master, if you don't have anything to do, you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace, I'm afraid there is something!" β
"Liang Yiru has always been peaceful, what can he do?" Suddenly, he frowned slightly, "I heard that a murderer was caught in the prison of the Criminal Department last night, saying that he was the murderer of the girl, do you know about this?" β
Xu Fu bowed, "Yes." The lord asked the lowly to pay attention to the affairs of the criminal department at any time, so the lowly duty went to the criminal department every day to walk around. I heard that such a person was caught last night, and I took a look at it from a distance. The thin little man can't see his face clearly, but he has heard that his lips are red and his teeth are white, and he doesn't look like a person who can kill people. β
"Skinny, tiny?" Shen Hao gasped, "Who is this case in the hands of now?" β
"I didn't pay attention to it." Xu Fu saluted.
Shen Hao narrowed his eyes, "You go and check, if it's really Xia Yu, it's not easy to do!" "It's not that he doesn't know that Xia Yu is now in the Rui Wang's Mansion. If last night's murderer was Xia Yu, Rui Wang Zhao Shuo would intervene sooner or later.
Xu Fu nodded, "Go and do it immediately!" β
Taking a deep breath, Shen Hao walked quickly towards the door.
