Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 557 Confession, an answer

Next, Su Rao's second sentence completely changed his face.

Her vermilion lips were slightly pursed, and she curled up a very faint curve, and said with a half-smile, "So it's you."

There was a sound of gasping all around.

Su Mo'an's teeth were chattering, and he said in surprise, "What does the prison order mean? I, it has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything."

As he spoke, he took two steps back.

His legs trembled as if he was about to run.

But the moment Su Rao walked towards him, Yin Xuewei and the others surrounded the area, and there was no room for him to escape.

Seeing this, Su Mo'an hurriedly shouted at Pu She, "Pu She, I am wronged, Pu She..."

"Su Jian Order..."

Pu She hesitated to speak, but Su Rao blocked her when she spoke, "It's none of your business here, take the others away."

Her tone was firm and unquestionable.

The Taixue servant thought over and over again, but still shook his head and led the rest of the students away from the courtyard. In the huge courtyard, only their group and a shivering Su Moan were left.

"You know Li Mi."

Su Rao said affirmatively: "Li Cheng and Li Mi are cousins, do you know that?"

Su Mo'an's eyes widened suddenly, and she smiled: "It seems that I don't know."

"No wonder there was nothing unusual when I saw you the last two times. You don't know anything about Li Cheng's case. You don't need to hide anything. Naturally, there is no flaw."

"But the deaths of Zhou Ziling and Xu Chen should have been expected..."

In fact, Su Mo'an is not a person who can perfectly hide his emotions, and a little probing can make him show his feet.

"I don't know what you said."

Su Mo'an barely calmed down, looked up at her, and said solemnly: "Su Jianling, if you don't catch the murderer, why do you have to make trouble with me as a student."

"Still stubborn?"

Su Rao sneered, "You think you can hide all the traces by hiding the incomplete manuscript? Zhou Ziling and Xu Chen are dead, but Du Yong is still alive."

"Those fake Jinshi who are strong on the outside and can't stand the test are still alive."

"The big man you rely on, the mud bodhisattva, can't protect himself when he crosses the river. Tell me, does he still have the heart to take care of you?"

Hearing this, the blood on Su Mo'an's face faded, his lips trembled and he was speechless.

His face was blue and red, and it took a long time before he seemed to come back to his senses, and murmured: "It's not me, it's not me, I was forced, I didn't know he was going to use it to cheat in the imperial examination room, I just want to be appreciated by Mr. Sun..."

"The title was given to you by Sun Sheng?"

Su Rao asked.

"No, it was written by Li Mi, but Mr. Sun was present. I thought it was because he wanted to test my essay, so I tried my best to prepare, but I was still not satisfied with what I wrote. At that time, I remembered that Zhou Ziling had written After this topic, it's very brilliant, so..."

That's why he couldn't finish the next sentence for a long time.

Faced with everyone's mocking eyes, shame and regret almost swallowed him up.

"So you keep Zhou Ziling's article for yourself?"

Xun Zeli sneered.

I am still a scholar, so I don't pay attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame at this time.

Su Mo'an blushed so much that he was about to bleed, and buried his head deeply, but still did not forget to argue for himself, "I really don't know the usefulness of that article...they won't tell me such things."

This is the truth.

Cheating in the imperial examination is provoking the law and defrauding the emperor. No one will open the matter openly before the eyes. After the imperial examination is sealed, the ranking will be hand-picked by His Majesty. When the dust settles, the secrets above will also follow. It is sealed forever.

Su Mo'an didn't know, and Zhou Ziling didn't know.

Since then, Li Mi has climbed straight up, stepped on their backbones, and achieved a brilliant official career.

Their only misstep is that His Majesty will make an exception and open the book.

This caused the article to spread to the public. This was originally a grand event to inspire students all over the world to prosper the literary world, but unexpectedly it became a sharp knife that pierced their false skin.

Even if Su Mo'an knew what happened, he wouldn't get angry because of Sun Sheng's face.

After all, there is no conflict of interest between him and Li Mi.

Originally, as long as Zhou Ziling took care of it properly, the matter could be settled smoothly, but Zhou Ziling wanted to seek justice, which caused his death.

"What about the remaining manuscript?"

Su Rao asked.

Su Mo'an struggled for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I was afraid that someone would find out, and I was afraid that they would kill the donkey, so I hid the things in the interlayer dug out under the bed board."

"I'll look for it."

Xun Zeli said something and left quickly, Su Mo'an looked at Su Rao anxiously, "Then, what will happen to me?"

Su Rao didn't answer him, but instead asked, "How did you know that Zhou Ziling was going to expose this case?"

"After hearing that article, I even guessed what happened, not to mention Zhou Ziling. I was afraid that he would make a fuss if he got too hot-headed for a while, so I kept paying attention to his movements."

"Who did you tell about Zhou Ziling's plot to expose the case?"

"Li Mi."

Su Mo'an said cautiously: "I wanted to tell Mr. Sun. It was Li Mi who said that the less people know about this matter, the better. If it is brought to Mr. Sun's side, if he acts impulsively, it may cause even bigger troubles. Just let him handle it."

"I thought that Zhou Ziling's family was poor, and he managed to survive until now. His official career is promising. There's no need to make a fuss over such a trivial matter. It's no big deal for anyone to be able to get in touch with Tanhua, or even the Sun family. Good things that can’t be met can definitely be handled properly.”

"But I didn't expect Zhou Ziling to die."

Su Moan squatted on the ground with her head in her arms, her fingers digging deeply into her hair, trembling uncontrollably, "I thought it was a pity that he quit school because of something at home, who knew that lunatic Li Mi would kill people !"

"Then what happened to Du Yong?"

"After Zhou Ziling resigned from school, Du Yong disappeared suddenly. I was afraid he would find out something. After all, the two went in and out together, and their friendship was extraordinary. So I asked Li Mi how he handled it..."

Su Mo'an knew that he couldn't hide it, so he confessed everything, only hoping to reduce the guilt, "He didn't say much, just let me rest assured, don't go to him for the time being, and avoid the limelight first."

Su Rao understood.

Li Mi may have sensed something amiss from it, thinking of Xu Chen's conspiracy, he was afraid that Du Yong would also be an insider, so he asked people to guard near the bamboo house, if Du Yong showed up, it meant that he knew the inside story, and he must not stay .

This is the origin of Du Yong's murder.

Su Mo'an didn't speak anymore, panting heavily, like a fish out of water, desperately trying to seize every chance to live, his shame, anger, and fear were intertwined, pressed in the deepest part of his throat, and he could only utter The sound of whimpering and whimpering.

Su Rao looked at him, but her mind had already flown to other places.
