Volume 5 The Deep Mansion Compound Chapter 10 Accomplice

Sanli long street, both sides of the road are crowded with people watching the excitement. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a team of officers and soldiers escorted a prisoner cart and slowly walked towards the execution ground. At the front of the procession were two people who sounded gongs to open the way, and the officers and men held spears in their hands and crowded the prisoner cart in the center, very vigilant. This was followed by an official sedan chair, moving slowly. In the end, there was a team of armor soldiers, and the battle was really not small.

The people who didn't know what was going on thought they were going to execute some Jiangyang thief. Someone pointed at the prisoner cart and said, "In such a big battle, this prisoner must be a vicious thief! Otherwise, so many soldiers would have to be sent to escort it?"

A person next to him said strangely: "Look at this person, who is white and pure, with thin arms and legs, how can he not look like a Jiangyang thief?"

Another person sneered: "You are really lonely and unheard, what kind of Jiangyang thief is this! The case of Ling Zhishan who was killed that spread a lot of news a while ago is the murderer, his son!"

The original man let out an "ah" and sighed: "This son will be punished by God for killing Lao Tzu! What is he trying to do?"

A few people next to him also sighed for a while. Suddenly, one said, "Don't talk nonsense! He's not a murderer!"

When the men looked back, it turned out to be a woman. She wore a willow hat on her head, and a light veil covered her face, so she couldn't see who it was. The man snorted and said, "Who are you? Why are you still talking for this prisoner? He is about to be beheaded, and he is not a murderer?"

The woman sighed softly, knowing that she couldn't stop everyone. She looked at Ling Shuang in the prison car, and there were tears in her eyes. The maid next to her, the green calyx, was distressed, hugged her, and said, "Miss, don't cry anymore, the tears have dried up...... Hmph, that Su Zhuo is really not a thing! I thought he could save Ling Gongzi, and the young lady begged him in a low voice. Who knew that he only cared about his own happiness and never showed up again......"

Su Qin didn't listen to her verbosity anymore, shook off her hand, and followed the prisoner cart forward, not leaving the figure in the prisoner cart for a moment.

Just across the street, Su sneezed awkwardly. He rubbed his nose and said to himself, "Who is talking bad about me?" But he didn't think about it anymore, his eyes were also fixed on Ling Shuang, and he walked quickly towards the execution ground.

Ling Feng didn't follow Su Zhuo. He said that he didn't want to see the scene of his brother's torture again, and knelt alone in front of Ling Zhishan's spirit, without saying a word. Su Zhuo didn't care about him, and hurried to the execution ground, he must save Ling Shuang.

Ling Shuang stood in the prisoner car, her eyes blank, and the discussions of the people around her were deaf. He thought that when he saw Su Zhuo, he would have a glimmer of hope, who knew that he would be guillotined so soon. Ling Shuang had already given up resistance and accepted his fate. It's just that there is one last person who makes him remember, and that is Su Qin. I wonder if she will come to see him executed today.

Ling Shuang was in a daze all the way, and it wasn't until she was pushed onto the execution table that she finally felt something. He knelt on the ground, raised his head, and looked at the crowd in the distance, hoping to find Su Qin's figure among them. It's just crowded, where can I find her?

Su Qin was standing in the crowd, also looking at Ling Shuang, her eyes were red and swollen, and she couldn't cry anymore. I'm afraid that when I see the execution scene later, she won't be able to support it anymore.

Lu Xiaoru Lu Zhifu sat on the prison platform, looked at the sky, and glanced at a master on the side. The master nodded, took the accusation in his hand, walked to the front of the stage, and read Ling Shuang's accusation aloud, which was nothing more than "the son of disobedience, disregarding human morality, killing his father with his son, and the crime cannot be punished".

After the master finished reading, Lu Xiaoru said loudly: "The hour has come, cut!" As he spoke, he drew a red cross on the token and threw it out.

The executioner raised his steel knife and flashed with a cold light. Suddenly, one of the people in the crowd shouted, "Slow!" This voice was extremely abrupt, and the executioner was stunned. I saw Su Zhuo squeezing through the crowd, running to the stage, and shouting: "Slow execution! Wait a minute!"

The executioner looked at the prefect and asked what he meant. Lu Xiaoru looked at Su Zhuo and shouted: "Bold! Who are you who dare to stop the execution?"

Su Zhuo bowed and saluted, "My lord, don't you remember me?" My name is Su Zhuo, and I met him a few months ago. ”

Lu Xiaoru thought about it and said, "Oh! It turned out to be you, you helped Qin Lei solve the case last time, and you are quite capable." Why, do you want to overturn the case for Ling Shuang this time? This case has all the human and material evidence, and the criminal department has also approved it, so it can be described as an ironclad case! You don't want to stop today's execution!"

Su Zhuo smiled: "My lord, you are wrong, I am not here to overturn the case." The criminal Ling Shuang killed his father with his own hands, which is seen by everyone and is certain. He is a heinous crime, and his crime cannot be punished!"

As soon as he said this, Ling Shuang couldn't help but be stunned and looked at him in a daze. Su Qin was in the crowd, and when he saw Su Zhuo appearing, a glimmer of hope arose in an instant, but when he said this, he fell into despair in a blink of an eye. She was so angry that she squeezed out of the crowd and scolded: "Su Zhuo, you despicable villain! Even if I am blind, I will actually believe you!"

Everyone saw that she was crying sadly, and they couldn't say anything for a while. When Lu Xiaoru heard Su Zhuo's words, he was a little puzzled and asked, "Since you have no objection to this case, why do you want to stop this official from executing?"

Su Zhuo said: "Master Lu, you don't know something. I have carefully examined this case in the past few days and found a major clue. There is no doubt that Ling Shuang is the main culprit, but there is another accomplice in this case, who has not yet been arrested. That's why I want to stop the execution, and I want to catch the accomplices and bring them to justice!"

Lu Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, couldn't think of any other accomplices, and asked, "Who are the accomplices?"

Su Zhuo replied: "It's none other than Jinling's chief arrest of Qin Lei! He used the excuse of running errands in other places, but in fact he assisted Ling Shuang in committing the crime." In this way, no one can doubt him. ”

When Ling Shuang heard this, he immediately said angrily: "It's just nonsense!Su Zhuo, how can you frame Brother Qin?"

Lu Xiaoru was even more puzzled, this Qin Lei was obviously deliberately taken away by himself, how could he become an accomplice. But he thought about it again: This Qin Lei has always been at odds with me, and I have long wanted to get rid of him. If this Su Zhuo can really help me get rid of Qin Lei, it would be a clever plan! Thinking like this, he hesitated a little.

Su Zhuo ignored the others and continued: "Lord Lu, Ling Shuang is already a death row prisoner, and it is nothing to be executed a moment later. If you let go of the accomplice Qin Lei, it will be a great dereliction of duty!"

Lu Xiaoru's heart was moved by what he said, and he asked, "Su Zhuo, do you have a way to catch this Qin Lei and make him confess?"

Su Zhuo smiled secretly in his heart, his face was silent, and said, "Don't hide it, my lord, I just heard that Qin Lei was going to sneak into the water villa today." As long as we wait there with Ling Shuang, waiting for Qin Lei to throw himself into the net, we are not afraid that he will not confess!"

Lu Xiaoru was overjoyed, slapped the table, and shouted: "Okay! Immediately give an order, escort the prisoners, and go to the water villa!"

The soldiers replied yes in a hurry. Su Qin was about to faint from crying, supported by the green calyx, and slowly walked towards the water villa, wanting to see the result. Su Zhuo followed behind Lu Xiaoru and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
