Chapter 83: Xiong Zhi's Death

Su Yuqi got up, not wanting to wake up Pan Ye, and was about to tiptoe over his body, but before he could turn over, he heard Cai Ye's laughing voice: "Are you a mouse?" ”

Su Yuqi was straddled with one leg on Yu Ye's body, and coughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I woke you up." There's someone outside, I'll go take a look, you continue to sleep for a while, it's not dawn yet. ”

"Wake up, come with you."

Yu Ye sat up, not wanting Su Yuqi to still be in a daze, still maintaining the posture of sitting on his lap, the two bumped into each other, Su Yuqi blushed, rubbed his sore forehead, and bared his teeth: "You can sleep for a while." ”

"It's almost dawn, and I won't sleep."

Zhou Ye wanted to get out of bed, but Su Yuqi still maintained her original posture, rubbed her brows helplessly, and looked at her: "My legs are numb." ”

"Huh? Oh. Su Yuqi finally came to his senses, turned over and got out of bed in a panic, pulled the bedside clothes over, put them on his body, and dressed them neatly, the people outside had already arrived at the door, and knocked twice, "Wang." ”

It was Su Jia's voice.

"Come in."

It was still dark in the room, Su Yuqi took the lamp, and Yu Ye had quickly dressed and tied his hair. was about to tie Su Yuqi's hair, but Su Jia happened to push the door in, and when he saw this scene, he was stunned.

"So early, what's going on?" Su Yuqi asked straight to the point.

Su Jia clasped his fists and saluted the two, and said, "Wang, I found a person who is good at making explosives, and he confessed that there was a person who bought black powder from him, and the amount was very large, just the day before the Lanjiang River burst. ”

"Isn't this matter handed over to Xuanlin? Why are you still checking? Su Yuqi frowned slightly.

Su Jia looked embarrassed and said: "It's not that the slave went to investigate, but it happened that someone from our Su family army stayed in his house, and found a large amount of black powder in his house, so it was reported to me." ”

Cai Ye hurriedly cleared the siege in a warm voice: "Has the person who bought black powder been caught?" ”

Su Jia said: "No, however, he confessed that the person was not a native of Jiangzhou, and he spoke with a Tancheng accent." ”

Hearing this, he glanced at Su Jia out of the corner of his eye, and asked lightly, "Then did he confess who that person was?" There are hundreds of thousands of people in Beijing, if you don't know who it is, this clue is no different from a dead clue. ”

Su Jia said: "That person's name is Xiong Zhi." ”

He shook the comb's hand. Su Jia was also looking at him, the eyes of the two collided in the air, each with a deep meaning, and they avoided each other at a touch, and Zhou Ye continued to tie Su Yuqi's hair, and said quietly: "Xiong Zhi is dead." ”

Not only Su Jia, but even Su Yuqi was also surprised.

Su Yuqi suddenly looked back at Pan Ye, her hair was holding in Zhou Ye's hands, this time she turned around, her hair was all scattered, and Pan Ye straightened her head with both hands, and calmly scolded her: "Don't move, your hair can't be combed well." ”

Su Yuqi couldn't hide her surprise and asked, "Who is Xiong Zhi?" How did he die? ”

Zhou Ye tied Su Yuqi's hair with a hairband, inserted Moyu's hairpin, and measured whether there was any messy hair, before saying: "Xiong Zhi is my person, and the corpse I personally examined yesterday is indeed dead." ”

"Your people?" Su Jia looked at Yan Ye in shock, and his eyes flashed with light, "Then what about him buying black powder...... Can it be relevant to you? ”

"Su Jia, don't worry, listen to what Xuan Lin has to say first." Even if Dish Ye had already said that Xiong Zhi was his person, Su Yuqi did not have any doubts about Dish Ye, and was even speaking for him.

Zhou Ye put the comb back on the table, his face was still faint, as if this was not a big deal for him, "Xiong Zhi was sent by me, the purpose is to prevent King Dongqing from returning to the dynasty." As for what kind of method Xiong Zhi used, and whether he blew up the embankment, there is no proof of his death, and it is still unknown. Steward Su, can you let me meet the person who makes and sells black powder? ”

He was surprisingly honest, and there was nothing to hide about it.

"What?!" Su Jia jumped up in shock, "You commanded it?" Are you crazy? Do you know that this bombing destroyed most of the entire Jiangzhou City?! ”

Su Yuqi didn't expect such a turnaround, although he was puzzled and shocked, he was still very steady and calm, and reprimanded Su Jia: "Su Jia, don't be so excited!" Isn't it still impossible to conclude that it was the dam that Xiong Zhi blew up? ”

It is true that the shock in Su Yuqi's heart is no less than that of Su Jia, but based on her trust in Yu Ye, she did not react as violently as Su Jia.

Dish Ye's eyes were slightly deep, and he said: "Steward Su, if it is really Xiong Zhi's doing, I, as the boss, should bear the responsibility." ”

"Guilty? Half of the people in the city are dead, can you afford it? ”

Dish Ye's face turned slightly pale, "I can't afford it." But it has happened, and if you can't afford it, you have to bear it. What's more, it may not have been done by Xiong Zhi. I don't believe Xiong Zhi would do such a trivial thing. ”

"You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, it's over? You've got to prove it! ”

Su Yuqi reprimanded: "Su Jia, can you not be so anxious and let Xuanlin finish speaking?" ”

Cai Ye took a deep breath and said, "Xiong Zhi died, not from the flood, but from his killing. I had an autopsy yesterday, suffocated to death and then dumped in the floodwater. Steward Su, think about it, someone killed Xiong Zhi and made the illusion of being drowned in the flood, and besides, there were so many corpses floating in the flood, but they were coincidentally obtained by the people of the Su family, is this a bit too much coincidence? ”

Su Jia twisted his eyebrows: "Got by Su Jiajun's people?" Why don't I know? ”

Zhou Ye said: "Speaking of which, it's also a coincidence, when the body was salvaged, I happened to pass by and saw it." If I hadn't seen it, this corpse would have been in your hands. ”

Su Jia didn't believe it and said, "How is this possible? So many corpses were directly sent to mass graves for burning, how could they be delivered to me? ”

Zhou Ye took out a black iron bracelet from his cuff, handed it to Su Jia, and said, "This, do you know Steward Su?" ”

Su Jia took it, took a cursory look, and said in surprise: "This is Su Jiajun's iron bracelet?" ”

Cai Ye smiled coldly: "Steward Su can't see that this is fake?" It is a replica of the bracelet of the Su Jiajun. Su Jiajun's iron bracelets are all uniquely cast, which are iron and silver alloys, and this one is pure iron. ”

The lights in the room were dim, Su Jia leaned in front of the lamp, took a closer look, and said, "It's indeed fake." ”

"So, Steward Su understands, Xiong Zhi's body will always be delivered to you."

"You're right. So, is someone to blame? ”

He said, "It's still uncertain. If, as the man said, Xiong Zhi did buy black powder, then what he was buying this gunpowder for is also a question. Whether someone took advantage of him and blamed him remains to be ascertained. ”

Su Yuqi asked, "Su Jia, where is that person locked up now?" ”

"It's still in the east of the city."

"You go and bring him here, quickly."

"Yes."

Su Jia hurriedly turned his head, Su Yuqi looked at Yu Ye, his eyes were slightly dark, and he said, "Xuanlin, I want to know, why did you prevent King Dongqing from returning to the dynasty and returning to Beijing." ”

Su Jia is concerned about the bombing of the embankment, but that is not the source, the source of the matter still has to be found from King Dongqing. After all, Su Yuqi's mind turned faster than Su Jia's, and he thought more.

Cai Ye glanced at Su Yuqi deeply, and said honestly: "I want to buy you time." ”

Su Yuqi was puzzled: "What do I need time for?" ”

Cai Ye said lightly: "Make arrangements to prevent King Dongqing from counterattacking and retaliating against you after returning to the dynasty." ”

Su Yuqi looked at Yu Ye, and his voice was slightly deep: "Have you already decided that King Dongqing is the person behind the scenes?" Xuanlin, I know you care about me, but without conclusive evidence, it will be a big mistake to give random orders based on suspicion. ”

"And, Xuanlin, do you understand, he has to go back to Beijing, and he can't wait to get out of the matter!"

Cai Ye was still calm and calm, and said softly: "Little prince, when you say this, don't you already believe in your heart that King Dongqing has a great deal to do with the affairs of Jingzhong, and even is an accomplice?" ”

"I ......" Su Yuqi was speechless by his refutation.

Yu Ye continued: "Little Wangye, King Dongqing does have a problem, this is not a random speculation. You must have some evidence in your hands, right? ”

Although Su Yuqi was angry, he still suppressed it and did not get angry, and said: "It's not enough to say that he must be the mastermind." ”

"But it must be complicity. He secretly corresponded with Yu Ji frequently, and my subordinates had more than one eye on him and Yu Ji meeting privately. Moreover, he also overheard the conversation between him and Yu Ji, and he already knew that Yu Ji was not from the rain master. ”

"Even if he is an accomplice, you don't need to stop him from returning to Beijing, right? He returned to Beijing on time to expose him this morning! ”

"With the power of King Dongqing, how can it be said that it can be exposed? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it is exposed, it is not enough to prove that he has the intention of rebellion, and how can he be convicted of killing the king? When he came back, it was just a little more intense to fight openly and secretly. ”

Su Yuqi's face turned iron-blue, and his tone was a little gloomy, and there was a little sonorous meaning: "Sooner or later, there will be this day." Why fight about what to come early or late. ”

"It's not the same for me." Cai Ye looked at Su Yuqi, "I want to make sure you are safe." You are responsible for the people, and you are the only one I am responsible for. ”

Su Yuqi looked at Pan Ye in surprise, she never expected that Pan Ye was so thoughtful. At the beginning, she didn't know that she was a woman, how could she fall in love with her?

Zhou Ye seemed to see through her thoughts, and said softly: "Have you forgotten what I told you last night?" ”

Su Yuqi was a little confused. She remembered last night's words, saying, "Because I'm already in love with you." He also said, "Su Yuqi, listen, it's good that you're a woman, but even if you're not a woman, I don't plan to marry another woman." ”

But what does this mean? Does it mean that he fell in love with her when she was still a "man"?

This is ridiculous. She couldn't believe it.
