Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 323 Discrepancy in Evidence, Repayment Order!

"He Gongze accidentally lost this letter when he killed Mei Mei, and it was later hidden by Fu Rong, and it was handed over to me some time ago."

There is nothing to hide about this matter, Su Rao told the truth, Qi Xiang was silent for a while after listening, and finally showed a desolate smile: "When I knew that he had lost the letter, I was afraid that such a day would happen. ..."

"prostitute!"

"A whore again!"

Qi Xiang slammed his fist on the bed, struggled to sit up, the veins on his neck were swollen, and said ferociously: "I said that he would die at the hands of a prostitute one day, he didn't believe it, he didn't believe it, he even hurt me ..."

Without that letter, they couldn't find anything to investigate. No matter how hard the case he made into an iron case back then, it couldn't make any waves.

He didn't have to kill Mingjing or the coachman.

Cheng Zhao will not die, because his life and death are really irrelevant, and there is assassination of the imperial envoy... Why would he take risks and involve this bunch of people!

He Gongze!
He Gongze——

Qi Xiang was out of breath, panting heavily with violent tremors, wheezing like a window leaking air.

Su Rao glanced at his reddened knuckles, waited for him to calm down after venting, and asked softly: "Go on."

She stayed in Qi Xiang's house until it was time to light the lights.

Zhu Yan knocked on the door, "Miss, Doctor Cui asked you to come over."

Just at this time, Su Rao had finished asking what she wanted to ask, so Shi Shiran got up, put the stool aside again, turned around and walked outside.

"Su girl!"

Qi Xiang called her from behind, Su Rao turned her head, and saw his figure shrouded in the shadow left by the bed curtain, dark and lifeless.

"Master Qi, do you have anything else to say?"

"A criminal minister of Qi dared not stay in the inn, and asked the girl to report back to Mr. Yan and put me in prison."

"Not in a hurry."

Su Rao stared at him, "Lord Qi, let's live here first, and talk about it in a few days, maybe there will be some surprises?"

A pleasant surprise...

Qi Xiang didn't speak again.

Su Rao silently pulled the corners of her lower lips, just as she walked to the door, the thick cotton curtain had been lifted by the bamboo banquet, and he stood on the porch with a lantern in his hand, looking at her and smiling.

"Let's go."

When they arrived at the main hall, the food was already on the table. Yan Yun, Cui Yi, and Jin Xu were chatting, and they all looked towards her when they heard the movement.

"What do you want me, brother?"

Su Rao took off her cloak and put it aside, walked up to them, Cui Yi said: "You have been there for a long time, our son is eager to see through..."

Someone who was eager to see through made a cross-eyed knife.

Cui Yi immediately changed his words, "The main reason is that your injury is still unhealed, and you have worked too hard, which is not conducive to recovery. You said that you didn't get the salary from the court, so why bother to work so hard? Right?"

"Brother is right."

Jin Xu was sitting next to Cui Yi, and Shizi Ye was opposite him, and there was an empty seat beside him, which seemed to be specially reserved for her, so Su Rao sat down.

At this time, Mr. Jin had already properly distributed the bowls and chopsticks.

"The two of you have lost a lot of money, and you need to make up for it. I specially called the cook from the mansion over and made a table full of delicious dishes. Come and taste them."

Jin Xu signaled them to move their chopsticks.

There were only four of them in the main hall, and there were no waiters, so it was more convenient to talk. Cui Yi stretched out his hand to clamp the hibiscus fish, tasted it, and said with a satisfied smile: "This fish is indeed very good. Let you always talk about it and never forget it."

"You also try it."

He knew that Yan Yun didn't eat meat, so he didn't persuade him. Looking at Su Rao and Jin Xu, Su Rao picked up a chopstick with a smile, and praised: "The fish is tender and smooth, and the soup is delicious. Lips and teeth are a good dish."

"That's right, our little Yuanzhu is very picky about his tongue, and what can make him full of praise must be the delicacy in the world."

After Cui Yi finished speaking, he looked at Jinxu and said, "Hey? Why don't you eat it?"

Jin Xu glanced at the plate of fish strangely, and said with a dry smile, "I, I'm tired of eating a long time ago, I'll eat something else, you guys hurry up, don't keep it for me."

Su Rao saw his eyes flickering, and suddenly remembered something, her brows and eyes frowned.

Jin Xu wanted to quickly avoid this topic, so she asked, "Ah Rao, you've been asking Qi Xiang for so long, did you find out anything?"

Just as Su Rao was about to speak, Cui Yi shook his head at her, "A Rao, wait a moment."

He looked at Jin Xu, and said with a playful smile: "Xiao Yuanzhu, since when did you become interested in the court's murder case, and play tricks with your brother, tell me quickly, what bad idea are you holding back?"

"Did you drug the fish?"

Jin Xu's face turned green when she heard that, "Do I look like such a boring person?"

"Who put croton powder in my meal last time?"

Cui Yi squinted at him, "If it wasn't for my elder brother, I would have given you my hands. If you don't make it clear this time, I'll feed you all the fish."

Seeing his appearance, Jin Xu knew that he would come for real.

After hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice, "Actually, I didn't say it was for your own good..."

"For my good?"

Cui Yi didn't understand, so Jin Xu couldn't stand him asking again and again, so he could only tell the whole fish feast from beginning to end.

Taking advantage of this time, Su Rao and Yan Yun talked about Qi Xiang.

"He recruited Mingjing and Master Huizhi's death, but when it comes to foreign assassins, he only said that the token was given by others to repay him for saving his life."

"What about the medicine?"

"That medicine was also given by those assassins. Qi Xiang knew that we were investigating Cheng's case, and he was doomed, so he came up with such a golden cicada's way to escape."

Yan Yun thought for a moment, "So he and those assassins are clean?"

"The captured assassin only said to look at the token to act and to help him. He didn't know anything else. As for the person Qi Xiang said who gave him the token, who and what identity, there is no way to know."

It's not even possible to say whether this person actually exists.

Su Rao said: "According to Qi Xiang's words, he wore a black iron mask and claimed that his appearance was destroyed. His enemies hunted him down and disappeared after giving him the token."

"Do you think what he said is true?"

Yan Yun asked her warmly, Su Rao thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "It's hard to judge whether it's true, but judging from the logic of his narrative, it's reasonable."

"Another unknown person..."

Along the way, the private mine case and the whereabouts of the foreigners hidden in Dayong appear intermittently, but as long as you follow the investigation, you will always end up without a problem.

It's a real headache.

Yan Yun softly comforted, "Don't worry, the fox will always show its tail."

"Ah."

Su Rao nodded, "By the way, my lord, during the process of questioning, I found something wrong. Although Qi Xiang confessed to all the crimes, there are some discrepancies with the clues I found."

"for example?"

"For example, the death of Mingjing and the coachman..."

Su Rao was about to talk to him in detail, when Cui Yi and Jin Xu suddenly got into a quarrel, "You mean... two corpses were thrown in the lake in your back garden..."

Cui Yi was shocked, and Jin Xu said with a bitter face: "Yeah, after that, when I saw the fish, I would think of the pile of things I picked up, and it was really disgusting."

"I see."

Cui Yi nodded suddenly, and before Jin Xu could speak again, he raised his eyebrows and smiled teasingly: "Then you have eaten a lot of fish in that pond..."
