Chapter 220 220. Neck Twist
It rained all night, Su Liang kept watching Ah Si without closing his eyes.

It wasn't until the wind and rain outside the window subsided and the sky gradually brightened that she confirmed that Ah Si had no fever and her pulse had stabilized, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah Si's mother came over and persuaded Su Liang to go to sleep for a while, but she didn't insist anymore, and left after telling some things to pay attention to.

After the rain, the morning breeze was cool, Su Liang sneezed, rubbed the area between her tired brows, and walked slowly to her residence.

There was still cold chicken soup on the table in the room, with a layer of fat condensed on it.

Su Liang went straight to the bed without changing his clothes, took off his shoes and lay down, pulled the quilt over, closed his eyes, felt sleepy, and soon fell asleep.

This sleep was very deep, and she traveled back to her previous life in the dream, and found that everything here was just a dream...

Su Liang woke up near noon, sat on the bed, looked around, and sighed in his heart, it wasn't a dream, and he couldn't go back.

Before that, Su Liang never had a dream of returning to the original world, because there was no one she cared about, and she had nothing to worry about.

But what happened yesterday caused some inexplicable fear in Su Liang's heart, and it was the first time she felt the biggest difference between the two worlds.

The previous life was a society ruled by law. Most people would not have anything to do with "killing people" if they were not so unlucky as long as they obeyed the law.

But this side is different.Although there are so-called laws, they are all for the rulers, and there is no perfect system.Ordinary people will pay with their lives for killing ordinary people, but most of the time the powerful will not pay any price for killing ordinary people.In other words, it is a simple and crude law of the jungle.

It's not that Su Liang doesn't understand. Even after she crossed over, she killed someone herself, and now she can cut off a person's hand without changing her face. In her previous life, this kind of thing was inconceivable.

Su Liang's fear lies in the fact that she finds that she is being assimilated by the rules of this world, trying to become the strong among the jungle. I'm trying to improve my strength, but it's not enough.The frightening thing is that even if she improves her martial arts even more, she still cannot completely avoid what happened yesterday.

Because strength and weakness are relative, a human being is a mortal body, without three heads and six arms, he will die if killed, and no matter how high the martial arts are, it is impossible for a person to be invulnerable.

Of course, if she had been more cautious yesterday, if she hadn't gone to practice medicine, it could have been avoided, but it is meaningless to make such an assumption afterwards.The enemy can always find the most effective means to deal with you.

Su Liang thought last night, maybe she should go back to Sujia Village, or find another place, to be an ordinary person and stay away from power disputes.

But after waking up, she knew very clearly that avoiding could not solve any problems.She has entered the game, and it will not be so easy to get out.

Su Liang, who was a little confused, really wanted to talk to Gu Ling, but unfortunately he wasn't here.

After washing up and eating something, Su Liang went to see Ah Si.

He is out of danger, but still awake.Facing the frightened Ah Si family, Su Liang promised that he would be fine.

The old butler was terrified yesterday, and now his face is pale.Originally, he wanted his granddaughter to be Su Liang's maid, but after being rejected, he saw that Su Liang and Ah Si got along well, so he planned to mention it to her, and if it was necessary, he would take Ah Si by his side.

After the accident, the old butler dismissed the idea.Although even if he mentioned it, Su Liang would not accept it.

After seeing Ah Si, Su Liang went to inject Peng Qian again.

Peng Fan saw that her complexion was fair, but she was much quieter than yesterday, and he didn't dare to ask any questions.

"In five or six days, you can go back." Su Liang said.

Peng's father and son thanked again.Their identities are sensitive, and they should not stay here for long.

After Su Liang left, Peng Fan said to Peng Qian, "Actually, I really wanted to suggest to her just now, hire a master to protect her, at least have servants to serve her, don't always act alone."

Peng Qian shook his head, "It's crossed the line. You can't see someone around her, but it doesn't mean there is no one. Even if there is no one, it is her own choice, not because she can't think of or can't do what you said. You should see What's more, she has only been in charge of the Ning family for a few days, and there are loyal servants who rush out to protect her in critical moments without hesitation, this is also her ability, not all luck."

Peng Fan looked slightly startled, "Father taught me the right thing. My son is self-righteous."

Peng Qian sighed, "After what happened to the Wei family, I realized how naive I was as a father. People's hearts are the most unpredictable thing in the world, so I admire General Su. Although she is only a little girl now, she has the ability to rely on her." Others, and some people are willing to win her over, but she has never stopped improving her own strength. Remember, at any time, it is risky to put your own safety in the hands of others. Even if we are like father and son, there is no trust Risk, now I rely on you to protect, it is a burden to you, this is not what I want."

……

Su Liang didn't know that Peng's father and son were talking about her, she went to the place where the assassin was imprisoned last night, and the assassin's grandson was still alive.

Seeing Su Liang, the old man got up, supported his pierced leg, knelt down with difficulty, kept kowtowing, begging Su Liang to let his grandson go.

"Who ordered you to come?" Su Liang asked coldly.

The old man said with a bitter face, "It's... the eldest prince's person..."

Su Liang was not surprised, "Why you?"

"I have done some things for the eldest prince. He sent someone to find me this time and agreed to assassinate you, but I didn't expect that someone secretly captured my grandson, followed me to Xunyang City, and seriously injured my grandson. Forcing me to use this method to get close to you and gain your trust..." The old man cried bitterly, "I don't want to do this, it's really not my idea! How could I not even care about my grandson's life?"

Su Liang remained expressionless, "How much did he give you?"

The old man's face froze, and he whispered, "5000 taels of silver."

Su Liang's eyes were icy cold, "You are just a person who collects money to do black work. You once helped Duanmu Sheng do some shady things, and this time you came to kill me for 5000 taels. Duanmu Sheng sent people to kill me more than once before, and even There are also slain soldiers, but unfortunately they all failed. This time, I chose you with careful planning, after all, how could I have thought that a person who brought his dying grandson to seek medical treatment in broad daylight would be an assassin?"

The old man kept kowtowing, "I was forced, really forced! If I don't do it, not only my grandson, but my whole family will die!"

Su Liang asked in a cold voice, "So, I owe you all? I saved your grandson, and you are not only ungrateful, but also want to take my life while I'm tired, let me die, and protect your family. You were forced to ? Do I deserve it because I dug your ancestral grave in my previous life?"

"I was wrong... I was really wrong... General Su, you are so generous, please forgive me, I will never dare again, and my grandson, he is innocent, he doesn't know anything!" the old man knocked My head is broken.

Su Liang took a deep breath, "I can't do nothing, but I didn't expect this to become my biggest weakness in your eyes. I admit, this trick is indeed very clever. This time I admit it."

The old man looked at Su Liang earnestly, "As long as you spare me, I will be your cow and horse in the future! I swear!"

"Although the law can't stop you from killing me, since it fell into my hands, if you have any grievances, go and talk to the government." Su Liang finished speaking and called the guards to come in.

The old man's face was pale. He thought that he would be killed by Su Liang, but he never expected that Su Liang would hand him over to the government!If he doesn't confess the mastermind behind the scenes, he will definitely die!If you confess, you will only die faster!
"Send him and his grandson to the government. Tell the prefect truthfully what happened yesterday. If you need me to testify, just pass it on." Su Liang finished speaking, turned and left.

"General Su! Show mercy and let my grandson go! He didn't do anything wrong!" the old man shouted.

Su Liang's face was indifferent, "My family's Si didn't do anything wrong. I don't think I have the obligation to protect a tool person who killed me. You are a beast, but you still ask me to be a Bodhisattva? How ridiculous!"

The guards sent the grandpa and grandson who came to assassinate yesterday with great fanfare to the Xunyang City government to report the case. The prefect took it very seriously when he heard that someone had assassinated Su Liang.

When the story spread, the entire Xunyang City cast aside that vicious and shameless grandfather and grandson.

Su Liang saved the eunuch's daughter-in-law and grandson, and she is now the head of the Ning family, the largest wealthy businessman in Xunyang City, an official of the imperial court, and a celebrity in front of the emperor.

With so many factors combined, the prefect opened the court to hear the case that day.

The old man gritted his teeth and said that he had a grudge against Su Liang's grandfather, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, thinking that at least he could save other family members.But he didn't know that before he and his grandson set foot in Xunyang City, his whole family had already been killed by Duanmu Sheng's people.As for his grandson, whether Su Liang let him go or not, it's a dead end.Unless Su Liang specially took him in and protected her, but she couldn't find a reason to do that.

The master went to Ning Mansion specially to inform Su Liang of the result of the case. Both grandparents and grandchildren were guilty of murder, and they will be executed at a certain date.

Su Liang did not mention the mastermind behind the scenes to the government.The royal family wants to save face, and she won't make trouble, that's not good for her.But as long as Duanmu Yi knew about this, he should be able to imagine that it was the work of one of his good sons.

At night, Su Liang sat alone in the study and had dinner, and it began to rain again outside the window, making him somewhat deserted for no reason.

Counting the time, she felt that it was almost time for Gu Ling to arrive in the capital.

……

The capital of Qianguo.

It is the end of summer, and thunderstorms have been frequent recently.

Gu Ling entered the city in the evening, and secretly returned to the Su Mansion, but there was no one there.

Before getting married, both Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing expected to move in with Su Liang and "Ning Jing" as neighbors, but because of "Ning Jing"'s accident, Su Liang was not in the capital. He planned to wait for Su Liang to return to Beijing before moving here.

Gu Ling went to Su Liang's room, picked up two books that she hadn't read, and went to the back garden to see the pomegranate tree he had planted before leaving with Su Liang.

Although no one watered it, the pomegranate tree survived because it was planted by the lake and it has been raining recently.The leaves have fallen a lot and are a little sparse, but new leaves have grown, dotted with red pomegranate flowers sporadically.

It is impossible to eat pomegranates this year for the trees that have just been planted. We have to wait until next year.

On the way to the palace, Gu Ling passed Wan's house, went in secretly, saw that Wan Hui and Zheng'er hadn't returned to the capital, and left silently.

The sound of wind and rain gave Gu Ling a good cover. He sneaked into the palace, but found that Duanmu Sheng, who had been locked in the cold palace before, was not there.

So he left the palace again and went to the First Prince's Mansion.

……

A few days after "Ning Jing" died, Duanmu Sheng, who had been imprisoned in the cold palace for a period of time, left the palace and returned to his eldest prince's mansion. Although he lived in seclusion, he closed the door to sing and sing every night, and lived happily.

Tonight, Duanmu Sheng rested at the place of his favorite concubine, drinking and having fun, and now he is fast asleep.

The window that had been tightly closed suddenly opened, shaking and colliding in the wind and rain.

The maid hurriedly went to close the window, but because of the strong wind, she couldn't close it for a while.

A sound awakened Duanmu Sheng from his sleep. He sat up straight from the bed, his eyes widened, and sweat broke out, "Who? Who is it? Come on! Come on!"

Seeing that Duanmu Cheng was like a frightened bird, the concubine shrank back and did not dare to move.

The guards outside the courtyard rushed in and reported to Duanmu Sheng, but the window was blown open by the wind, and there was nothing unusual.

Duanmu Sheng got off the bed with a livid complexion, put on his clothes indiscriminately, and went out. The guard quickly waited for him with an umbrella and went out to the study.

The two little servant girls knelt on the ground, wiping the splashed rainwater and whispering.

"I don't know what happened to Your Highness?"

"My mother heard from Mrs. Qian, the big kitchen, that His Highness often has nightmares recently, always shouting 'Su Liang, don't kill me'."

"Su Liang? That martial arts champion... how dare she kill His Highness?"

……

Duanmu Sheng went to the outer study, and quickly called two of his confidantes, one tall and one short, both were middle-aged men.

The tall man asked cautiously, "Your Highness is having nightmares again?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "That bitch, if she doesn't die, I won't be at peace!"

"The subordinates still think that Su Liang dare not do anything to His Highness, unless she doesn't want to die. The Emperor is protecting His Highness." The short man said.

Duan Mucheng said sharply, "I don't care! I want her to die! I don't want to see her again! She came to restrain me! I lost my crown prince, my second brother died, the Wan family lost their military power, it's all because of that bitch Why! Is there no news about what I asked you to do?"

The tall man looked a little stiff, "Going back to His Highness, I got the news tonight that the soldiers sent by my subordinates to assassinate Su Liang in Xunyang City all failed."

Duanmu Sheng grabbed the paperweight and threw it at it, "Trash!"

The tall man didn't dare to hide, he was hit in the chest, he groaned, bent over to pick up the paperweight, and respectfully put it back on the table.

The short man was also asked soon, he was calmer and seemed quite confident, "Your Highness, the people sent by my subordinates went late, and no news has come back, but this time, my subordinates have carefully planned, Su Liang will definitely not be able to hide !"

When Gu Ling under the back window heard this, her eyes froze!
"Hurry up! Otherwise, when she returns to the capital, she won't have a chance to strike!" Duanmu Sheng said sharply.

The short man nodded respectfully, "The subordinate understands. According to the plan, the subordinates already started yesterday. Perhaps Su Liang is dead now, but the news has not yet come."

Duanmu Cheng sneered when he heard the words, "If it's as you said, that would be great!"

The rear window opened suddenly, Duanmu Cheng was startled, his body trembled, he cursed angrily and told his subordinates to go down and close the window, and the tall man ran over quickly.

Hearing the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him, Duanmu Cheng turned his head and saw the tall man fell to the ground. His expression changed drastically, and before he could make any sound, he was strangled by a white silk!

The short man looked at Gu Ling who appeared behind Duanmu Sheng like a ghost, and was about to call someone, but Gu Ling stretched out a finger to signal him to keep silent, otherwise, he would kill Duanmu Sheng immediately.

The short man's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't dare to breathe.

"What's the plan you're talking about?" Gu Ling asked the short man.He was wearing a mask and coir raincoat, and his voice was low.

The short man hesitated for a moment, then saw Duanmu Cheng's eyes rolled upwards, he had to confess, he hired a master, went to Xunyang City, and made a careful plan to assassinate Su Liang.

After hearing the short man's plan, Gu Ling's eyes were cold, and without waiting for the short man to beg for mercy, and without giving Duanmu Sheng a chance to say a word, she directly broke his neck!
The short man watched Duanmu Sheng's head turn to the side and tilted down, with a horrified expression, "You... who the hell are you?"

As soon as the short man stepped over with one foot, he was grabbed by the back of the neck and pulled back. With a click, his neck tilted and he died.

The wind and rain were violent, the window of the outer study of the First Prince's Mansion was open, the necks of the two corpses in the room were twisted, and Duanmu Sheng was gone.

Gu Ling carried Duanmu Sheng's body out of the city, threw it into the turbulent river in the rain, and then rushed towards Xunyang City at the fastest speed...
