Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 331 On the Same Way, Cheng Nan's Blood!
Zhu Yan has always been paying attention to her emotions, and when he saw the pupils shrunk suddenly, he hurriedly asked: "Girl, what's wrong?"

"We missed so many details."

Su Rao stared blankly at a certain place on the long street, "The reason for staying on Baihua Street is because there is no place to stay in the city, and wearing a veiled hat is to cover up his identity. He came from outside, and he is very familiar in Hanyang."

Her voice was low, as if she was talking to herself.

But Zhu Yan still heard clearly.

"The shopkeeper of Baihualou only said that he stayed overnight, but he didn't mention anything about his followers or taking care of the horses. Judging from the clothes alone, he has a rich family, and it is impossible to come to Hanyang alone."

"So when he came to Hanyang, there must have been people with him, but they separated after entering the city for some reason."

"When he asked Xiao Er for water to take a bath, he said that he would clean up after checking out the next day, which showed that he had confirmed that he would leave the place the next day, and then the little beggar saw him boarding Qi Xiang's carriage and heading out of the city... "

"Qi Xiang said that he was going out of the city to do some business that day, and he went with him...he stayed in the city for one night and then went out...his original purpose, perhaps, was just to see Qi Xiang. If it was the same as Qi Xiang's purpose, he didn't need to go to the city at all!"

Su Rao's tone of voice was neither fast nor slow, and there was a coolness in the calmness.

Zhu Yan pondered twice and finally caught up with her thoughts, and said lightly: "If you want to know the purpose of Qi Xiang's leaving the city, don't you know when you go back and ask?"

"Ah."

Su Rao withdrew her gaze, put her legs between the horse's belly, and rushed out first, followed by Zhu Yan, when they returned, Yin Xuewei and others had already arrived and were talking outside the post house.

After a brief greeting, Su Rao walked in quickly.

She didn't go back to her residence, but rushed directly to the courtyard where Qi Xiang was, with shadow thorns guarding her tightly.

"girl."

Seeing her coming, Shadow Thorn immediately opened the door, and Zhu Yan stopped outside the courtyard, letting her go to ask questions alone.

There was no one around, Shadow Thorn smiled and said, "Since when did Master Zhu change his family and become the girl's personal entourage?"

After leaving Huanhua County, I often saw him on the saddle. In the past, in the mansion, even the young masters didn't get this kind of treatment.

"When did I change my court?"

Zhu Yan gave him a disgusted look, "At first glance, you are just as outrageous as your boss. This boss is working hard to help our family, and you will understand later."

A group of shadow thorns looked at each other and smiled, seeing that he seemed to be thinking, they stopped talking and went about their duties.

Su Rao walked into the room that hadn't been ventilated for a long time, and the light seeped in through the window pasted with clear paper, dispelling the gloom and adding a strange sense of death.

Qi Xiang sat quietly at the table, motionless, like a stone sculpture.

Even when she heard the sound of the door being pushed, Su Rao still didn't respond. Su Rao walked up to him, looked at him condescendingly for a while, and said suddenly: "When the government was burying you, they encountered a group of grave robbers."

Qi Xiang's eyelids trembled, opened slowly, and looked at her according to the sound.

With a smile on her lips, she said leisurely: "It's a straw mat, a puppet, and someone wants to dig it out. Don't you think it's strange, Mr. Qi."

Qi Xiang scoffed coldly: "Isn't this exactly what the girl wants?"

Su Rao poured a cup of tea for him with a smile, pushed it to his hand, and said lightly: "Master Qi refused to give me what I wanted, so I had to find a way to get it myself, but fortunately, although I spent some effort, the result is not bad. "

"I just don't know what Lord Qi wants, has it been done?"

What he wants?

Qi Xiang twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, and then looked around, the dark house, the claustrophobic cage, the rest of his life he thought he thought would be a reborn life, but none of them could be accomplished.

Instead, he continued his previous fate and became a prisoner.

"The girl is so complacent now, why should she mock me like this?"

"Master Qi thinks this is a mockery?"

Su Rao raised her eyebrows to look at him, and said in surprise: "Could it be that you insisted on taking the blame for others and didn't want to die, so you used the golden cicada's art of getting rid of its shell?"

"It is indeed a good way to commit suicide in fear of crime."

She met Qi Xiang's shocked eyes, and said slowly: "Once you die, the Cheng family's case will not be investigated further, so it can only be closed hastily. You can feign death and get away with killing others, maybe you can live a better life with a different identity." comfortable."

"This method is good, but unfortunately something went wrong halfway."

The lessons learned by Mu Tianfeng are still there, how can he be allowed to repeat his old tricks!

Qi Xiang couldn't help but frown when she listened to her words, "What can I help others? Now I'm a prisoner, who can I help? The girl is not awake, is she still talking in her sleep?"

"I knew you wouldn't admit it, but it's okay."

Su Rao looked at him with a smile, "On the day I killed Ming Jing, I don't know what Lord Qi's intention was when he left the city?"

Qi Xiang got a headache from her rambling questioning style, but fortunately, this is not a difficult question to answer: "To pay homage to an old friend."

"Who? Where?"

"The abandoned house on the outskirts of the city..."

After a pause, Qi Xiang glanced at her, and continued: "To pay homage to...Cheng Nan."

"Cheng Nan?"

Su Rao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Could you be talking about the place where you committed suicide by taking poison? You made an injustice case, killed Cheng Nan, and let him bear the crimes of the whole family for nothing. Will you go to pay homage again?"

"I'll say it again."

Qi Xiang met her gaze, and said solemnly: "The Cheng family's case was forced by the situation, and someone must take responsibility, and he is the most suitable."

Suitable for these two words are ordinary and ironic.

Su Rao twitched the corners of her mouth, did not continue to argue with him, and asked along the way: "The sacrifice was not possible, so you took poison and committed suicide and chose that place on purpose. Is there anything special about it?"

"It's just a deserted house, what's so special about it?"

Qi Xiang sneered: "I chose to go there to pay homage only because Cheng Nan said that he likes that pond of lotus the most..."

"You know his likes and dislikes, it sounds like a good relationship?"

Qi Xiang glanced at her, he could see the undisguised mockery and banter in those eyes, and he also knew that she had ulterior motives for asking these questions.

But it was probably a boredom for too long.

Or maybe these words have been held in his heart for too long, and it is rare to have the desire to confide in them. After so many years, this is the first time he has mentioned Cheng Nan in front of others.

"I knew him when I first came to Yunzhou. At that time, he was the outer capital of Shuicheng. There was much rain in the south and there were many rivers, lakes and seas. He was responsible for the dams and water conservancy works everywhere. He often traveled outside and came back occasionally. , and will bring me some local specialties."

Qi Xiang reminisced about the past, and suddenly remembered that he had a very nostalgic past with this person, "He is very good at handwork, especially good at carving. All the wood carvings and stone carvings in my house were given by him."

"I had a good drink with him and talked about my ideals, and he also confided with me and lamented life."

"In terms of relationship, it's not bad."

When Qi Xiang said these words, his expression was calm and reminiscent, but when he thought of what he had done, and listened to them carefully, every word and every word was chilling.

Su Rao sized him up, and after a while, she smiled lightly and said, "I thought I was cold-blooded, but I didn't expect to meet someone of the same kind today?"

"Come on, Lord Qi, I offer you a toast."
