Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 325 Can You Afford The Truth?

Yin Xuewei chose a random place, dug a hole to bury the two of them, threw the shovel away, and turned away.

The cold night is silent, and the cold moon is in the sky.

Contiguous tombs are hidden in the shadows of treacherous and withered trees, and when the wind blows, they emit a decaying earthy smell.

The howling of wolves came from the deep mountains far away. Hearing the leaping black figures, their figures froze suddenly.

For a moment.

One person picked up the soil from the grave, twisted it with his fingertips, and said in surprise: "Xintu, people are here!"

When he finished speaking, other figures surrounded him in an instant.

Without further ado, he began to dig the grave.

The people who buried the corpse were perfunctory, and the straw mat was buried very shallow. They quickly dug up the mat, raised their hands to lift it, and saw a pile of dolls made of rags, and their expressions changed instantly.

"It's a trap, go away!"

The words were as fast as the wind, and the black shadows scattered in an instant, rushing out, but at this moment, the sword light swept across, the afterimages flew like flying, and several people appeared like ghosts, surrounding them with swords.

"You can't leave!"

The crowd parted through a gap, and a handsome young man in black walked out, with a smile on his lips, out of tune with the chilling atmosphere.

Standing still in front of them, the young man held his sword and propped his jaw, and said with his tongue: "There is really a dark game, and the girl has hit it again."

"It's the middle of the night, and you guys come here to dig graves, what an enmity!"

He said with a smile.

The people in black looked at each other, their expressions suddenly serious, they drew their swords without answering: "Get out—"

"My little ones, arrest these tomb robbers for my master."

"Order!"

The two sides rushed to one place, swords intersected, and the clanging sound resounded throughout the wilderness. They came prepared, and severely injured the man in black.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, they drew their knives and prepared to commit suicide.

However, after spending so much effort, how could Zhu Yan allow him to return without success? With a flick of his fingers, a marble shot towards the opponent.

"careful!"

The man in black exclaimed, and the nearest man subconsciously slashed with his knife. The wind of the knife was so strong that it split the marble in half, and a stream of white powder exploded!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

They covered their noses and retreated sharply, but it was already too late. The moment the powder was inhaled into their bodies, it was as if all the strength in their bodies had been drained, and it was even difficult to hold a knife.

Zhu Yan and the others took the antidote early, and it didn't affect them at all.

"I knew you guys were dishonest, so before I came out, I asked the miraculous doctor to ask for Qiangxiao Ruanjin powder."

The medicine is effective for six hours, which is enough.

The men in black changed their colors one after another: "What do you want to do?"

"If you are sensible, you can answer what I ask, maybe you can die more simply."

Zhu Yan stopped talking nonsense with them and began to interrogate them one by one.

Not long after, the screams came and went, startling several jackdaws, passing by the shadow of the moon, and sinking into the thick night.

Su Rao was guarding the candlestick, and when it was three o'clock, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard.

came back!
She got up and went to the window, opened a gap in the window, and saw Zhu Yan coming this way while arranging her clothes, even though she had cleaned it beforehand, when the wind blew, she could still smell a faint smell of blood.

"girl!"

Standing in the porch, Zhu Yan bowed his hands to her and said in a low voice, "It's this hour, why are you still awake?"

"Can't sleep."

Su Rao looked him up and down, "How's it going outside the city? Did you gain anything?"

"I caught some people, like the people from Liji Bakery, who have been hiding in Yunzhou many years ago. They only know how to obey orders, and the subordinates even asked a few secret clues from them, and they are going to report to the young master. .”

"Then go quickly."

If it wasn't for this opportunity, it would be very difficult to grasp such a hidden pile that has been buried deep in Yunzhou for many years.

Zhu Yan nodded: "The girl should rest earlier."

"Ah."

Su Rao responded, seeing that he was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, how is Xue Jingrong's investigation going?"

"Xue Jingrong returned to his hometown after he became an official and stayed in Dunyang all the time. His subordinates have already notified the governor of Dunyang and sent someone to invite this old man in the name of his son. He should be on his way now."

After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he left.

Su Rao closed the window, walked to the bed with a candlestick and sat down, watching the jumping flames, her thoughts suddenly returned to the time when she asked Qi Xiang.

"Since Cheng Nan was wronged, whose pocket did the River Repair funds go into? What role does Lord Qi play in the middle?"

"Who does the girl want me to talk about?"

"Whoever is the mastermind behind the scenes, let's talk about who."

Hearing this, Qi Xiang lowered his head and chuckled twice, "The mastermind?"

"This project lasted two years from the important officials of the imperial court, local supervision, construction, and supervision. Two million taels of white money flowed through their hands, and it was a layer of oil if they picked it up."

"If you want to say the mastermind, then each of them is the mastermind!"

She asked, "What about Cheng Nan?"

Qi Xiang sneered: "The Ninglan Gorge dam burst and flooded Yunzhou. Someone has to take responsibility for this matter. Cheng Nan is the foreign capital Shuicheng, who is in charge of supervising the construction of the fortification. If the dam is damaged, he is also greedy. Not being greedy is also being greedy, what’s the difference?”

"Of course he is. He is greedy, and his family is imprisoned. That is what he deserves, and he deserves to die. But if he is not corrupt, then even if he is coerced by others, even if he is negligent, how innocent are the young and old in the family?"

"innocent?"

Qi Xiang seemed to have heard some big joke, and an abnormal flush appeared on his pale face while laughing, and it took him a long time to say: "Miss Su, you will understand in the future, if you wear this skin, life and death are the same. Wrong, there is no one who is innocent.”

"Do you think your father was innocent when he was expelled from the capital, or was he innocent when he was reinstated?"

"You have repeatedly turned over old cases in Yunzhou and stirred up blood and rain. Don't you just want to win the attention of the court and go to Shengjing to find out the truth? But the truth, can you really afford it?"

There is silence all around, only the dim light and shadow.

Su Rao sat leaning against the bed, Qi Xiang's words seemed to be still echoing in his ears, he didn't know about the involvement of the old Shengjing case back then, he only knew that it was a taboo to burn all relevant files.

No one in the ruling and opposition parties dared to mention it.

This shows how powerful it is.

"Father..."

Su Rao let out a deep breath. She has been busy investigating the case for the past few months, deliberately not looking back at the blood in Huanhua County and the person who will never come back...

But Qi Xiang's words opened up a corner of her memory again, revealing the bloody skin and flesh, the pain and tearing feeling that she tried her best to bear crawled from her heart to all her limbs...

This winter is too cold.

Her bones are trembling in the cold, go to sleep, it will be fine when she falls asleep.

Su Rao blew out the candles and lay back on the bed, hugged the quilt and wrapped herself like a silkworm chrysalis, even so, she still couldn't resist the ubiquitous cold wind.

She buried her head in the quilt, and after an unknown amount of time, she felt tired, and there seemed to be a familiar voice singing in her ear: "The sick bone is broken, the gauze hat is wide, the lonely minister is thousands of miles away, and Jiang Gan, who is humble and dare not forget to worry about the country, Things will still have to wait until the coffin is closed..."
