Chapter 132: Innocence in an Instant
Dealing with the ghosts of Silk Village is not as easy as imagined, and some of the ghosts do not appear during the day and have to wait until night.
There were also those dead souls scattered everywhere, Shen Lingxi had to personally lead them to the vicinity of Su Xian's magic circle in order to overcome.
It took two days and nights to clean up all the souls of the village.
During this period, Chunjun and the embroidered envoys looked at Master Su Jiu with a blank expression, constantly changing places, over and over again, throwing out his pile of "broken copper and iron" magic weapons, and doing the same ritual with a babbling spirit.
And Shen Lingxi, who was also in the village, kept going around, still muttering words in his mouth, and didn't know what he was muttering.
She runs east and west.
When I met with Master Su Jiu, I always had a lot of energy.
The two looked like they were fighting, but they had an indescribable tacit understanding.
The scene is very weird and mysterious.
On the third day, the group headed back to Beijing.
Su Xian didn't care about the embroidered envoy detaining him all the way to Beijing, but he was very indifferent to meditate on the prisoner car, without any intention of defending himself.
The old ancestor only said before, "I don't care about this rebel", but after only half a day, he floated back again.
Now, seeing Su Xian sitting in the prisoner car, the ancestor kept circling around Su Xian's car.
When he was resting on the road, Shen Lingxi lifted the curtain of the car, just saw this scene, and sighed secretly.
In the end, the ancestor still can't let go of this son.
It's a pity that even if Su Xian does have the ability to reach the sky, he still can't see his mother who is close at hand.
"Ancestor." Shen Lingxi called softly.
Circling around the carriage, the old man floating in the air turned around.
"Girl." The spirit of the old ancestor floated to her, the tail of the eyes was mottled with fine lines, but there were faint tears in the eyes.
"You tell Rokuro that the person who harmed me is not this rebel. Although he is obsessed with cultivation, he is pure in his heart and will never harm me. I...... I was only angry with him for a while, so wooden, I didn't say anything to you......"
"Rest assured, Old Ancestor, His Royal Highness knows that Su Jiuye is by no means a murderer." Shen Lingxi smiled and reassured.
She didn't know why the old man was so anxious.
The souls circled around Su Xian's carriage and refused to leave, it turned out that it was for this matter.
Sure enough, no matter how much he disliked this Su Jiu master in his words, after all, he loved this young son very much.
The old ancestor was puzzled: "Since His Highness knows, why do you want to bring this rebel back to the capital for trial." ”
"His Highness must have his intentions when he does this." Shen Lingxi tilted her head slightly and thought about it, although Chu Yan had never told her clearly, she already had a guess in her heart.
He looked dull and unapproachable.
But in fact, it is not as cold as outsiders think.
Thinking of this, the smile in Shen Lingxi's eyes melted: "In short, the old ancestor only needs to believe in His Highness, and when he returns to the capital, everything will be clear." ”
Wait until the brigade arrives in the capital.
Shen Lingxi originally thought that Chu Yan would probably bring Su Xian back to Beiya first.
However, the convoy entered Beijing all the way through the West Gate and went to Wu Anbo Mansion in Anhua Lane.
*
"It's back! Go and tell the uncle and the eldest lady that His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun has brought the Ninth Master back! ”
"It was pulled back in a prisoner cart!"
When the porter saw the approaching people, he crawled into the house and informed the people who were on the vigil.
Last night, Wu Anbo and his two sons traveled day and night, just returned from the army, took off their armor, and stayed in front of the old ancestor's spirit.
The eldest lady and her two daughters-in-law accompanied them, crying so much that they cried so much that they were heartbroken.
But that's not so sad.
The grandniece of the old ancestor's own mother's family, that is, the second granddaughter-in-law of Bofu, Xie Shi, also cried and fainted several times in front of the spirit.
The one who cried so much that people felt pity when they saw it, and they couldn't help but cry.
Whoever sees it, don't say a word, the second grandmother is filial.
Compared with her, today's Ninth Master, who was suddenly brought back by His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, is a heartless person, which makes people very disdainful.
Shen Lingxi was simple and easy to look at, mixed into the embroidered clothes, far away at the end, and followed the soul of the old ancestor next to him, and entered the Wu'anbo Mansion together.
Along with them, there were also Mu Huai'an and several Yacha from Dali Temple.
In the past few days, Mu Huai'an has not been idle, in the name of coming to the mansion to help his grandmother, he has been in and out of the mansion several times, and he has cleared all the people in the mansion, and he has made a friend to Chu Yan while they are meeting.
As soon as Chu Yan entered the mansion, he directly instructed the housekeeper of the Su Mansion to vacate a courtyard with a hall next door to the mourning hall for the detention and interrogation of the suspect Su Xian.
As soon as Wu Anbo Su Wei heard the news of his brother's arrest, he hurriedly ran to meet him with his family.
He saw Su Xian wearing shackles on his hands and stumbling under his feet, "Your Highness, what's going on?" Is there some misunderstanding? ”
Before Chu Yan could speak, Su Xian was already solemn, and said lightly: "Brother don't worry, Liulang is just routine, and he temporarily detains me as the murderer of my mother." When the matter is clarified, I will be cleared of my innocence and let me go. ”
Shen Lingxi looked at him with a sigh of relief, and he was quite confident.
Wu Anbo Suwei's face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Didn't my mother fall off the rockery and die?" How could he have been killed? ”
No wonder he had this question, Mu Huai'an and Chu Yan only saw the suspicions at the crime scene before, and did not make a conclusion in public.
Chu Yan originally planned to follow the last wish of the old ancestor and let Su Xian come forward to investigate.
Since he didn't want to, he simply tied up Su Xian and came to the house to "fish".
Chu Yan said bluntly: "The footprints of the ancestors on the rockery before they fell, and the location of the slide, are too far away from the edge of the cliff, so they should have been pushed down from behind and died." ”
Wu Anbo was taken aback.
Not only him, but even the two sons behind him, and the ladies of the Bofu, were full of surprise.
"This, this, this ......"
Wu Anbo's eyes fell on Su Xian's face, and seeing that he looked indifferent, he replied categorically, "There must be some misunderstanding, the ninth brother will never do such a thing." ”
Chu Yan glanced at Mu Huai'an.
Mu Huai'an stepped forward with his hands in his hands and said slowly: "Someone saw that at noon that day, there was a person who looked like a cousin and left in a hurry from the corner gate of Bofu. ”
"The people in the house also testified that the ancestor was kind to people during his lifetime, and only had a quarrel with his cousin, and the mother and son have never dealt with each other very well, and there are often disputes over money, and some people have heard the cousin scolding the ancestor for being lenient behind his back."
He paused, and said: "There is also the account room in the mansion to testify, only in the past two years, the cousin has advanced nearly 100,000 taels of silver from the account in the mansion, not only that, but we also found out that he put a lot of 'tiger skin money' outside, if you speculate according to the usual case, it is not ruled out that there is too much deficit, and you can't fill the hole, and you are afraid that the ancestors will be held accountable, so you will make this decision." ”
As soon as Mu Huai'an said this, Su Xian, who was indifferent a moment ago, and felt that he "could be innocent immediately" was stunned.
Wu Anbo Su Wei was also stunned.
Even the old ancestor standing next to Shen Lingxi was dumbfounded......
Tiger skin money, is usury.
