Chapter 181: Su Luocheng pleaded guilty
181. Ximen Yi finally made a decision helplessly. Agreed with Su Luocheng's words. Told Suluo City about the communication route with Jiangnan. On one side, the people on the lifeline retreated. Wait for a new contact. On the one hand, Su Luocheng hurriedly entered the palace. Go to Simon Thanchu.
Su Luocheng knelt down and kowtowed. Explained the matter of the assassination of Su Dye painting by the bribed killer to Ximen Xianchu one by one. It's all a guilty look.
Ximen Xianchu listened quietly to Su Luocheng's words. The scrutinizing gaze burned fiercely on his body.
"I thought it would be Guardian Li who found out the truth. Report to me. I don't want Lord Su to turn himself in. Simon's voice was calm. I can't hear any waves.
"Imperial Doctor Liu is innocent for the painting. Death as an appropriation. Weichen wanted to execute her with his own hands. Ask for the emperor's forgiveness. Wechen didn't do his best to find out the truth. I just want to get out of the prime minister's house. Wechen is sorry for dyeing the painting. I'm sorry Your Majesty. It is not easy to escape death by dyeing and painting. Weichen must see the emperor. Surrender and plead guilty. At the disposal of the emperor. Su Luocheng's head slammed to the ground. Don't dare to lift it.
"The inside should be the outside. Let the killer break into the palace. Sullo City. How many heads do you dare to do that. Simon Xianchu's voice was sharp. A sharp gaze shot at Suluo City. He knew that the killer could infiltrate the palace. There must be an internal response. Otherwise, his heavily guarded palace would not have become a street market.
"Damn it. The minister just wanted to carry the head of the sinner girl to see the emperor. Didn't take into account anything else. Su Luocheng bowed his head.
"You'll have no scruples about anything else." Simon sneered. I can do the position of prime minister. They all see and hear in all directions. How could you not think of the full scope of things? I am afraid that this voluntary surrender and confession is also a retreat designed for myself.
Su Luocheng bowed his head and was silent.
"Lord Su. Actually, you don't come to confess. It will be difficult for Guard Li to find out your handle. What you did to contact Jiangnan Martial Arts is really impenetrable. Why risk death to confess your sins. Simon asked.
When Su Ran's painting of the crime of deceiving the king became a thing out of nowhere. There is no reason for those motives to "kill people and kill people". Simon Xianchu thought of countless possible explanations for the assassination of Su Ranhua. But I didn't expect it. Su Luocheng would confess his sins so clearly. That's not what he's always done.
"The minister doesn't dare to deceive the emperor." Su Luocheng looked like a die-hard loyalist. Simon Xianchu looked a little disgusted.
"So. I ask you. The fact that Usun slipped out of the palace has something to do with you. Simon asked.
"The Emperor Mingjian. The matter of Prince Wushan has nothing to do with Weichen. Su Luocheng replied with sincere fear. Acting in collusion with a different prince. This is a world away from the assassination of one's own daughter by a buy-through killer. The former is a crime of collaborating with the enemy. He couldn't take Simon's blame.
"Oh. It seems that I really need to strengthen the palace defenses. Simon raised his eyebrows.
Su Luocheng said in his heart. Wushan was destroyed by Ximen Yi in Fenghuayuan. Even if you try to check, you can't find any clues to leave the palace. It can only be regarded as a headless case. So he wasn't afraid that Simon would let people check it. As long as the fake Wushan bit and said that he slipped out of the palace by himself. Simon had no choice. Suspicion at best. But it was not enough to finalize the case.
"Sullo City. As the prime minister of the dynasty. You should know that our dynasty does not allow court officials to collude with martial arts people. You get in touch with the martial arts in Jiangnan. What is the intention? Simon asked sharply again.
"Damn it." Su Luocheng kowtowed. "Wechen heard that there are people in the martial arts who have mastered a lot of strange medical skills. Originally, I wanted to inquire all over the country. Treat the third lady's stubborn illness. but also for others in case of emergency. It just so happened that the little girl had an accident. Wechen was terrified. Then he thought of the inferior plan of killing the woman with his own hands. In vain to get the emperor's forgiveness afterwards. But he didn't think of breaking into the palace at all. The crime of colluding with martial arts. Weichen has been loyal to the Qingyuan Dynasty all his life. I really don't want to take on the crime of bullying the king. It is insulting to the Su family. That's why I did such a flustered thing. A sincere heart can be seen in the sky. ”
"Say so. It was all because Master Su was afraid that he did something wrong. Contacting people in the martial arts is also to seek medical treatment. Simon narrowed his eyes. Looking at the city of Suluo lying on the ground. Ask.
"Damn it. The minister lost his sense of proportion for a moment. Dizzy. "Suluo City Road." The crime of deception is no child's play. Weichen can't let the entire Xiangfu be affected by Su Ran's paintings. before making a reckless move. The minister will never contact any more martial artists. Even if the third lady has a thin life, there is no cure. And the ministers will never do anything wrong again. ”
"Not bad. The crime of deception is no child's play. Simon Xianchu looked at Suluo City. Said in a deep and steady voice. "It turns out that Lord Su has such a deep affection for the third lady."
"The third lady was bent on leaving the Queen Mother and marrying Weichen. It is not easy for Weichen to marry the third lady. It's just that there were some unfavorable rumors after that. Wechen couldn't explain to anyone. Fang pretended to snub her. In fact, Wei Chen's heart cares about her very much. Otherwise, there will be an accident with the dyeing and painting on the same day. Weichen will not do anything inappropriate to persecute the king of the north and the emperor because of her. So that the dyeing painting has an identity. ”
Su Luocheng showed sincerity for a while. Like an affectionate man and a loving father.
"I don't want to bother with your family affairs. It's just that Imperial Doctor Liu apologized for his sin with death. I don't know how Lord Su will ask for guilt. "Ximen Xianchu doesn't want to see Su Luocheng act to his heart's content. Throw him a tricky question.
Su Luocheng shuddered. Bow your head and say nothing.
"You've said so many times that you're going to die." Simon Xianchu sighed leisurely.
"Back to the emperor." Su Luocheng's voice trembled a little. "The minister is willing to admit death. I also asked the emperor to spare the prime minister's house. ”
"Will you admit death?" Simon's eyes flickered.
"Because of the fault of the minister. Nearly killed the King of the North. The crimes committed by the ministers are the most severe. The Su family's door has been ruined by Weichen. Please also ask the emperor to look at the Su family's many years of service to the country. Spare others in the Prime Minister's house. The minister died without regrets. "Su Luo City sees death as if he were at home. Raise your head and shout.
And in his heart, he was calculating time. Waiting for the contingency that had been arranged for a long time. in exchange for his life. Redeem the status of the Ximen family in the Qingyuan Dynasty.
Every second counts. Slightly worse pool. Everything is ruined.
"Whew." A strong wind blew. The breath of a sword blade rushed into Jinyang Palace. Skim past the city of Sulo. Reaching the West Gate on the Dragon Chair.
Su Luocheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Don't dare to slack off. Lunge after the blade. intact in front of Ximen Xianchu. The sharp sword pierced him in the chest.
"Daring Assassin." The guards swarmed up.
The Assassins were under siege. Killed instantly. Before dying. His last glance was at Suluo City, who had fallen in a pool of blood.
