Chapter Seventy-Six: The Truth Comes Out
The next day, Xinghan Pavilion. Zuo Qing watched with a soft face as Yan Sheng made tea, peeled orange peels, and put them on a plate, without saying a word the whole time, until there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Now that you're here, eat the fruit." He stared at the flickering light and shadow at the door, and said gently, "Yansheng knew that you were coming, so he specially peeled it." ”
"My lord," Xu Ziya's voice sounded, he opened the door and walked in, and saluted him: "I have already restrained my breath, I didn't expect you to hear it, your ears are getting better and better!" ”
Zuo Qing couldn't help but smile: "I thought you wouldn't grow anything, but I didn't expect this mouth to be very powerful." ”
"That's because of Mr. Su's ears and eyes, Mr. Su is humorous and funny, which can drive the atmosphere of the school."
Zuo Qing's smile deepened: "Ah Yan is indeed very good, she..."
Su Yan's destination is not him after all, he is hateful, and she is innocent and not a fellow traveler.
In a trance, Xu Ziya presented an object, "Mr. Su followed Ji Yu all the way, found a sweat towel and a sachet from him, and said that it was evidence that could prove that he was the murderer!" ”
Zuo Qing was awakened by the words, took the evidence, and carefully identified it against the candlelight. The candlelight was faint, but it set off a smile on the corner of his mouth extremely dazzling. He instructed Xu Ziya: "I'll go to Yunlai Pavilion, and you go back to rest." Before he finished speaking, Xu Ziya flashed to block his way, his eyes full of anticipation.
"I'll go too!"
Zuo Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Yunlai Pavilion.
Xu Ziya walked with Zuo Qing among the male guests, both of whom wore special masks from the West Building, and no one recognized them.
Turn up to the second floor, be led by the little servant, and go straight to an ordinary room in the corner. As soon as I entered the door, the loud voice of the came: "Come here, have a drink with me!" ”
Zuo Qing and Xu Ziya looked at each other and walked inside. The wide screen turned out to be a table of good wine and good food. The were already half drunk, and at this time they were leaning on the small square table, and the pale blue brocade skirt was spread on the soft collapse. When he turned his head to look at them, his steps swayed, and his beautiful face was extremely stunning. Zuo Qing couldn't help but praise: "If Xi Shi hadn't died back then, he should have sighed to himself when he saw the." ”
"Yo, this little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." said with a smile.
"don't look like they're in the twilight of spring, you have such a good complexion, and you're almost the same as the students of the academy!" Xu Ziya's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Ah, this mouth is sweeter! I said that you two big men, who don't sleep in the middle of the night, come here to praise me to death? I can't afford this, I can't even sleep this night! ”
Zuo Qing smiled and took out a sweat towel: "You look at it." ”
The leaned over and sniffed it, hurriedly pinched their noses and said, "If you want me to wake up, just bring the altar of wine, why bother to cut the stinky sweat towel that loves you!" ”
"This is what Su Yan got with that person last night, and there is a sachet, the sachet will not be given to you, and the sweat towel can prove it."
suddenly realized, and the wine also woke up. "It turns out that Su Yan made such a fuss yesterday, he was catching the murderer, and he was so scared that I thought it was really on fire!" After thinking about it, he suffered a loss, and said indignantly, "She caused me a lot of losses, don't come back, see if I don't break her legs, stay and give me back!" ”
Zuo Qing said with a smile: "It's just a few silver coins, why bother with a girl, I will give a hundred gold another day, and I should make amends." ”
"One hundred gold?" Shocked, she suddenly realized that something was wrong and asked him, "Why did you get so much gold, have you increased your fortune or embezzled it?" ”
Zuo Qing sandwiched a piece of tofu to eat, poured another glass of wine, and then said with satisfaction: "Yulu has not risen, just a little bit of grain." Trouble to go to the criminal department. ”
were very puzzled, but immediately understood, "Also, this case is very likely to be related to the eldest grandson's family, and you can't have direct contact." Yes, I'll find a fresh face, and you can put a hundred hearts, and I'm determined to kill this murderer. ”
Zuo Qing saw that Xu Ziya had been looking at them stupidly, so he took a wine glass and handed it to Xu Ziya: "You haven't always wanted to come to drink flower wine, why are you stunned?" ”
Only then did pay attention to the young man next to Zuo Qing, and asked him with a smile: "Do you remember me?" ”
Xu Ziya nodded like pounding garlic: "Naturally, I remember that you once taught me to read and write!" ”
"It's been all these years!" sighed, "I remember that you were only six years old when I adopted you, and you were fifteen years old when you left, so fast, I was old." Saying that, sadness came from it, poured some wine on the table, and pushed away the water stains with the palm of his hand. She stared at herself in the water mirror and couldn't help but cry.
This should be an elegant and simple face, when did you start to use heavy makeup to hide the essence, and when did you start to learn to hide the bitterness and bitterness behind the mask, showing people will always be a beautiful and seamless skin. And beneath the skin, that soul has long been rancid and smells bad.
Xu Ziya saw her more and more sad, and she was so anxious that she panicked. Zuo Qing also found that she was sad because of the wine, so she hurriedly called the girl in the pavilion, helped her back to rest, and repeatedly told her to take care of her, don't get cold at night, wake up tomorrow morning and prepare light vegetable porridge, and don't touch wine and meat all day long. Several personal girls in the pavilion know Zuo Qing, but they don't know the true identity of him and, they only know that this young man is very good with her boss, and his words are the words of the boss.
Xu Ziya suddenly felt sad: "I don't know how many chances I will have to meet in the future." ”
"It's not about the chance, it's about when."
Xu Ziya looked at him as if he didn't understand, Zuo Qing shook his head helplessly, and said, "When the matter is done, I will take you away from Ruoshui, and then you and will not see each other every day?" ”
Xu Ziya suddenly brightened up, grinning happily.
Another day passed, and after continuous fermentation, the limelight had overshadowed the case of Broken Yunxuan's hiding of the body, after all, the former involved national affairs, and the people cared more about this. Now there is a lot of discussion on the street, speculating whether Zhao Guo really sent a detailed work, and how Emperor Rong would deal with it. You guess it, I guess it, and some people even opened a lecture hall for this purpose, and conducted an in-depth discussion on how to steal state secrets.
Ranying can be said to be a person sitting in prison, and rumors are spreading everywhere!
Regardless of this, let's just talk about Aunt Ranying, the princess of Zhao State. Originally, he was favored by King Zhao, and for several years he had stabilized the power of the Ran family, but he was suddenly locked up in the cold palace before the outbreak of the Ran Baby's incident, and he has not seen the light of day again. Ran's father was also implicated and lost his handsome position, Ran's mother had a heart attack, and Ranying's brother lost a good future because of her, and he could have relied on his father's wealth, but he stagnated because of this......
Before the case was clear, the Ran family had already suffered such grievances, which was quite desolate.
However, by the afternoon of the same day, these two events had undergone an earth-shattering transformation of ghosts and gods.
The Criminal Department suddenly dispatched a large number of officers and soldiers to surround the Ji Mansion, and the people abandoned their work one after another to run around to watch the excitement, only to learn that Ji Yu, the master of the left waiter of the dignified province, actually broke the culprit of Yunxuan's hiding corpse!
This can be full of turmoil in the city, and everyone knows it.
After being interrogated overnight by the Criminal Department, Ji Yu originally refused to admit it, but when he saw Changsun Yue's testimony and the sweat towel, he had to confess.
It turned out that this He Shuang was discovered by him when he passed by Broken Cloud Xuan by chance, and since then he has wanted to take a look, and this time he saw that something had happened. He Shuang was forced to follow it, again and again, she thought about reporting the matter, but this Ji Yu was vicious and used her family's life as a threat.
He Shuang's heart was like ashes, and he finally made up his mind to kill Ji Yu.
She found that Changsun Yue would take a shortcut outside the courtyard every night to walk back to Yewu Garden, so she wrote to Ji Yu to lure him over.
On the night of the crime, the same shortcut, the same time, Changsun Yue really appeared. He Shuang deliberately exposed him to attract the attention of the eldest grandson, but unfortunately although she was curious, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she left after staying for a long time, and didn't see Ji Yu kill anyone, let alone the sweat towel thrown into the pond. However, fortunately, the eldest grandson Yue informed Su Yan of the matter, and Su Yan deduced the whereabouts of the evidence from the details.
Maybe out of revenge, or maybe he wanted to live, he actually confessed the shocking secret of his affair with Concubine Xiao.
Corruption and bribery, murder and extermination, and having an affair with a concubine, these three crimes are fatal! No matter how Ji Yu warned the eldest grandson Wuzheng about his relationship with his favorite concubine, this eldest grandson did not waver at all.
After this case, if you are eight years old and eighty years old, the eldest grandson who is not confused has been included in the ranks of spring hearts.
Ji Yu's case is over, Concubine Xiao has also fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes, she has always been cautious, and she only went out of the wall with Ji Yu Hongxing once, but she was planted on this only wrong thing.
Su Yan summed it up: one radish is a pit, and the radish that wants to go to another pit will not end well!
The case was solved, and Ran Ying naturally wanted to be sent home, Su Yan got up early in the morning to pick up Ran Ying, but met a person in a hurry outside the Criminal Department, who didn't look like Rong Guoren. Suspicious, she followed her for a while, and found that the basket on the man's arm had a family pattern, in the shape of an inky wave. She couldn't see the source, so she gave up. It wasn't until I saw Ran Ying's complicated face that I figured out that it should be the family sent by the Ran family.
The daughter was wrongfully imprisoned, but the family only sent one family member, which couldn't help but make people feel cold.
Su Yan asked the prison messenger to unlock and release the person, but Ran Ying was still curled up in the corner, hugging her knees. The jailer yelled impatiently, but she remained unmoved.
Su Yan waited patiently for her, without urging her, and did not plan to leave. Finally, she raised her face, and her yellow and thin appearance shocked Su Yan's heart.
Ran Ying smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that it wasn't my family or friends who came to pick me up in the end, it was you." ”
"Your family has been here, that family ......"
"He was sent by my father, threw some supplements and left, and before leaving, he relayed his father's words, he said...... My aunt died of illness, my brother was demoted, and his father couldn't last long, so I asked me to find a good family in Rongguo and don't go back. Eldest Sun Xi threatened his aunt, I had to apologize to Ji Yu, but why," Ran Ying took a deep breath, and suddenly said angrily: "Why do you want to investigate the case? You hurt my whole family, that's my only aunt! ”
Sure enough, Changsun Xi still can't escape the involvement, but it's a pity that the murderer has been arrested, and no one cares about her, who is inconspicuous in the case.
Su Yan sighed and said to her: "I don't know what's at stake behind this case, I only know that you are my student, you have been wronged, I have to save you!" If you want revenge, I'll wait. As he spoke, he threw a package in, "It's cold outside, put on your clothes and come back with me." ”
She was just about to leave, but she heard Ran Ying say to her with a crying voice: "Sir, you help me, I will avenge my aunt!" ”
"Is your aunt so nice to you? I'd rather take my life than avenge her. ”
"My aunt is the best person for me besides my father, and she is my dearest relative!"
Su Yan was a little stunned. She used to have an aunt, who was the person who loved her the most in the world, a close relative who was connected by blood! But she had no way to avenge her, and she didn't even know who the person who killed her was!
Su Yan shook his head and said regretfully: "But that's the eldest grandson Xi, and behind it is the eldest grandson family, how can you take revenge?" ”
"I'm going to denounce her, I have proof," she thought for a moment, and added, "I'm the witness!" ”
"You?" Su Yan felt ridiculous, Ran's father had already said such unconfident words, what capital did she have to fight against the eldest grandson's family? I couldn't help laughing and said, "Hitting a stone with an egg, you won't have heard of it, right?" The Ran family is not as good as before, what do you use to denounce? ”
"I don't believe that there is no justice in the world, and there will always be someone who will administer justice for me!"
When Su Yan heard the word 'justice', he felt even more funny, "If you didn't tend to be inflammatory, you wouldn't have been manipulated by Eldest Sun Xi when you first came to the academy, and you wouldn't let the Ran family fall to this point today, you want justice now, why did you turn your back on it in the first place?" ”
Hearing this, Ran Ying was enlightened, and tears burst out of her eyes in an instant.
"Yes, I am the murderer, I killed my aunt and my brother! Why didn't I die, why didn't I pay for them! ”
Su Yan didn't have a good impression of Ranying, and even hated it a little, at first it was just for the persistence in his heart that he would investigate the case, even now, it was just pitiful. But when she saw Ran Ying so sad for her dead aunt, she really accepted this child who had lost everything.
Su Yan gently held her in his arms, stroked her hair and said, "It's good to know your mistakes, but it's not all your fault, it's Changsun Xi and Murphy!" ”
Ran Ying, who was crying in her arms, held back her tears and asked her, "Sir, what should I do?" ”
"It's better to remember the enemy than not to know who the enemy is, and one day, you will have to taste what you want."
The eldest grandson's family has a big business, and Murphy supports her, she talks about revenge, but she knows in her heart that she has no chance of winning. She closed her eyes in despair and cried even harder.
