Chapter 183: Yingluo (3)
"Xiao Shilang, please take a seat." Su Luan made a table on the left hand side of the three-legged table.
Xiao Song sat down on the seat, casually glanced at the surrounding environment, and commented, "Extremely elegant place." β
is not only elegant, but ordinary businessmen will not build such a stage at all.
After Xiao Song sat down, Su Luan gently threw off his wide sleeves, sat on the opposite side, and sighed lightly, "This small pavilion and stage were built by my Aya for my mother, but unfortunately now they are no longer human." β
Xiao Song's eyebrows raised slightly, if it weren't necessary, he wouldn't have the patience to listen to people talk about the past and sigh about the past and the present, but at the moment, he didn't immediately make his intentions clear, "Ling Ci must be very good at dancing." β
Su Luan's mother is an orchid, and this stage should be used for her performance.
"Yes," Su Luan's elegant face bloomed with an unusual bright smile, staring at the platform opposite, and said, "When I was a child, I used to sit in the small pavilion with Aya and watch my mother dance. She is a very beautiful person, with a red dress with snow skin, dancing, and the huge skirt is like a blooming hibiscus flower, dancing so passionately, I have never seen it again in my life. β
Xiao Song picked up the teacup and gently skimmed the tea, but he didn't drink it, just to find something to do and wait for her to finish speaking.
"I thought that Hu Dance was different from the original dance, and I also made a special trip to Chang'an to see it, but ...... That's it. Su Luan said slowly.
Xiao Song put down the teacup and said indifferently, "Xu is because dancing for the person you like is the most moving." β
Su Luan was stunned for a long time, looking at the stage opposite and suddenly shed tears.
Her father did everything for her mother, and even her life could be delivered at any time, but in the end, she couldn't get a trace of warmth from her mother, it turned out that her mother also had affection for her father in her heart
Su Luan took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears, and said apologetically, "It's really rude." β
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Song glanced at her, didn't say much, took out a piece of white cloth from his sleeve and put it on the table, and opened it gently.
As Xiao Song's slender hand unveiled the cover, it revealed what was breaded insideβa crimson bead.
It was as red as a drop of blood on a white veil.
"This coral bead is rare, Mrs. Su, don't you jump the word. Xiao Song suddenly looked at Su Luan, with a perceptive smile on his handsome face.
Su Luan's eyes changed slightly, but it was only for a moment, and then they returned to normal, "Indeed, such red coral beads are really rare." β
"Guess Mrs. Sue, where did I pick up this bead?" Xiao Song asked with a smile, looking at Su Luan, who looked as usual, without waiting for her to answer, he continued, "When I found this bead, there were still a few broken threads on it, which were red ice silk ......."
Under Xiao Song's sharp gaze, Su Luan's face changed slightly, she had long heard of Xiao Song's reputation, and he handled more than one case in the Criminal Department every year, if it wasn't for enough evidence, I am afraid that he would not rush to the door.
Legend has it that the ice silkworm is produced in the northern wilderness, the leaves are fed, the silk is extremely tough, the sword is unbreakable, and the strings are far better than the ordinary silk, and then it melts when it encounters fire. The reality of ice silk is naturally not so magical, but because of its excellent toughness, softness and comfort, it is one of the tributes, and the annual output is very small, and ordinary people naturally do not have it.
In the entire Jushui County, I am afraid that only the rope used to string Yingluo on Su Luan's neck is made of ice silk.
"Xiao Shilang really lives up to his reputation, I had guessed that you would come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Su Luan sighed in his voice. I don't know what her ending will be, she hasn't had time to explain the aftermath to Min'er, and she hasn't had time to find a wishful husband for Min'er......
Thinking of the end, Su Luan couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Someone is coming," Xiao Song said in a loud voice.
Soon, Lieutenant Song led people to rush up.
Xiao Song glanced at the scribe next to him and said, "Prepare to record." After that, he turned to Su Luan and said, "There is someone to intercede for you, although it is inconvenient for me to show favoritism, I can give you some dignity." If you don't commit a crime to death, I will order the county lieutenant Song not to put you in prison for the time being, and wait at home for the criminal department to review the case. β
Su Luan's expression was slightly stunned, that person had such a big face, and he could make Xiao Shilang, who had always been as disciplined as iron, treat her so leniently.
"Thank you Xiao Shilang, and thank you to that nobleman." Su Luan made a big salute, but his heart secretly made a decision.
"No need to be polite, let's explain the case." Xiao Song was very satisfied with Su Luan's cooperation, and looking at her slightly relieved appearance, he also guessed that she might not have done the murder and destruction of the corpse alone.
"Ten years ago, the Mu family Qilang entered my Su Mansion." Su Luan saw that no one stopped her from mentioning such a long time, so she continued, "My husband is a descendant in the Mu family, and after he came in, he was very reluctant to point fingers and gossip from others, and I was busy with business, and I rarely took into account his feelings, so he drank heavily all day long. β
Su Luan's voice choked slightly, and continued, "Later, one day, he said that he wanted to go home, and I couldn't get out, so I prepared a gift to go back to the door for people to accompany him back. Xu is at home to listen to some gossip, after coming back to drink more and more heavily, in the past only in the house, and then like to go to the restaurant alone, at night by the second carried back to the house. At first, I was still worried, but after a long time, it became a habit, and I rarely asked him about it, and finally one night, he did not return all night, and waited for two days, but there was still no one. β
The Mu family's grandeur and Langjun entered the Su Mansion, although it was because of the friendship between the two families, but for Mu Qilang personally, it was a big blow. Maybe he also had a trace of beautiful fantasies before he came here, but in the face of a lady like Su Luan, who is stronger than him in everything, it seems more and more that he is a white rice eater, and he is idle all day long, which is a kind of torture for a man with ambitions.
"I originally planned to let Qilang gradually get in touch with the Su family's business after a year, but I didn't want to cause such irreparable consequences." Speaking of this, Su Luan did not have much remorse. She supported the Su family alone when she was a teenager, and she worked hard to take care of the Su family, at that time Mu Qilang was just a stranger to her, as a businessman with brains, she would never let an outsider suddenly interfere in the Su family's business. Even if it is a shopkeeper, she still has to observe for a while, not to mention that she will be the one who will share the Su family's business with her in the future
Now Su Luan is only guilty, and he didn't care enough about Mu Qilang at that time.
However, even if he was given another chance, Su Luan could not guarantee that he would be able to recover it. She was exhausted just by taking care of the Su family's business, and she couldn't devote more energy to other things, and she also had difficulties
"Three days after Shichiro disappeared, I sent someone to find him everywhere, so I reported it to the official. But at that time, the government had been investigating for half a month, but there were still no clues" Su Luan said this, her voice suddenly sharpened, which was very different from her usual elegance.
County Lieutenant Song hurriedly said to Xiao Song, "Xia Guan has only been here for two years. β
The implication is that the Yamen was unfavorable back then, but it had nothing to do with me.
After Song County Lieutenant finished speaking, he felt that this was an extra move, although Xiao Song did not serve in the Ministry of Officials, he knew all the officials in various places, even if he arrested an official of the Ministry of Officials now, he might not know more than him.
Su Luan took a sip of tea, and then said, "I communicated with the Mu family in private and personally came to the door to ask for guilt. Because I didn't know the whereabouts of Qilang at that time, the Mu family couldn't blame me, and after looking for half a month, I still didn't see anyone alive or dead, so I discussed with the Mu family and held a funeral for Qilang in the name of dying of illness. β
Mu Qilang has always been in-depth and simple in Jushui County, and he has never offended anyone, and there are very few homicides in Jushui County, so a big man suddenly disappeared, and most people think that he may have eloped with a lady. Combined with Mu Qilang's attitude of yin and yang when he went home, even the Mu family thought so. If this was the case, it would be like a loud slap on Su Luan's face, and they felt that they couldn't stand Su Luan, so they agreed to her request.
"In the third month after Shichiro's well-dressed mound was erected, a student named Liu Wen suddenly came to me secretly and told me...... He saw with his own eyes that several jailers were going to trade my husband's body with the bandits. Su Luan took a deep breath, stabilized his trembling voice and said, "He said that he found the place where the body was buried. So in the middle of the night, he took me and Steward Mu to the woods west of the city, and dug out a ...... from a barren grass Half a corpse. β
At that moment, even Su Luan, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of scenes, collapsed instantly.
"So you planned for ten years, and only recently took revenge on their corpses?" County Lieutenant Song couldn't help but interject.
"I didn't," Su Luan denied in a fierce voice.
Seeing that Su Luan still dared to talk to him at this moment, the old face suddenly couldn't hold back, and he asked, "Then you dare to say that this coral bead is not left by the Yingluo scattered around your neck?" β
"Yes, I hate those inhuman jailers, but there are people who hate me more than me, and there are still mercy and the Su family, how can I kill people," Su Luan said coldly. She is a businessman, she is the best at calculating gains and losses, and she doesn't take advantage of the great opportunity, why should she kill people herself?
"So, you will do your best to cultivate that person, teach him martial arts, make him depressed, inspire him to have greater hatred, and help him create all opportunities to kill......," Xiao Song said slowly.
Su Luan struggled to maintain his usual elegance and dignity, pursed his lips and glanced at Xiao Song, and said, "Not bad." Because the government seemed to be particularly concerned about this case, although Liu Wen had already lived enough, he didn't want to be caught before killing the last person, so I helped her make a fake death game. β
Su Luan knew that Xiao Song was powerful, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was dangerous, so she took the risk and hurried forward to stop it, but she didn't change her night clothes, but wore her usual clothes, even if she was discovered, she could find an excuse to shirk.
But I didn't expect to be a step too late, Liu Wen had already entered Xiao Song's trap.
After Su Luan found out, he had a plan and immediately went to look for Luo Ling, but found that there was a guard following Luo Ling, so he secretly followed, and found an opportunity to sneak attack Bai Yi, but he didn't expect Bai Yi to faint from the sweat medicine The moment before he fainted, he struggled to throw a knife in the direction where she was hiding, Su Luan couldn't dodge, and the Yingluo on his neck was cut.

In this way, it makes sense.
