King of Song

Chapter 12
In the middle hall outside the study, Meng Ruogu collapsed in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, his right index finger pointing forward, already out of breath...

Meng Ruoying, on the other hand, sat down in front of the corpse, terrified, and subconsciously moved back.The jade hand pressed the diaphragm in pain, and when she turned her head and saw the bloody candlestick, she was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand, but her palm was already stained with blood...

Several people were still in astonishment, Chen Xuan shouted: "Sister Shi, what are you doing? Did you kill Brother Ruogu?"

Um?Lin Zhao was startled, and immediately felt something was wrong.

Frightened, Mrs. Li rushed in and jumped to her husband's side.Lin Zhao, Wang Yu, and Chen Xuan also followed in, confirming that Meng Ruogu was indeed dead.Judging from the situation at the scene, it should be that the spike on the top of the candlestick pierced the blood vessel in the neck and died. The body was still warm, and it was obvious that he had just passed away not long ago.

Realistically, Li burst into tears. Seeing that Meng Ruogu was dead, she turned around and threw herself on Meng Ruoying, and said sharply, "Why? He is your own brother, why would you want to kill him? Why?"

"No...it's not me, it's not me..." Meng Ruoying was immersed in panic and sadness, but when Li Shi said this, she immediately came to her senses and quickly denied it.

At this time, all the people who heard the screams rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing this scene, they all exclaimed in shock: "My lord is dead, my lord is dead..."

After hearing this, all the guests in the Meng Mansion were amazed. Meng Ruogu was greeting guests in the hall just now, why did he die in a blink of an eye?
Mrs. Meng rushed there with the help of her maid. The moment she saw her grandson lying on the ground covered in blood, she trembled all over, and immediately passed out.

"Old Madam...Old Madam..."

"Grandmother!" Meng Ruoying wanted to step forward to help her, but she pushed Li Shi away and cried, "Go away! It's you, it's all you, and you are so cruel that you killed your own brother!"

Everyone in the courtyard looked at Meng Ruoying in surprise?Could it be that Miss Meng murdered her own brother?Gosh!It's incredible!
"Sister-in-law, I didn't, it wasn't me!" Meng Ruoying hurriedly argued!

"You..." Mrs. Li wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly leaned back and fainted.

The rage is overwhelming, the grief is excessive, everything is reasonable...

"Young lady..."

All of a sudden, there was a panic in the room, and Chen Xuan shouted over there: "Quick, hurry up and call the doctor!"

Wang Yu was well-informed, and said in a deep voice, "Shaozhi County, hurry up and invite the clerks and yamen servants to come here!"

Everyone realized that this is a murder case and needs to be investigated by the government!

During this process, Lin Zhao did not speak from the beginning to the end.Meng Ruogu is dead, although he has only been in contact with him once or twice, but he has always been kind to him, and he has a good impression of him.Such a gentle and modest gentleman was killed?The most incredible sister Meng Ruoying became a suspect!

Meng Ruoying murdered her own brother?Lin Zhao couldn't believe it.Who will the murderer be?The first thing Lin Zhao suspected was Chen Xuan and Li Shi. Their appearance here was too coincidental.

And when they were still in shock, Chen Xuan was the first to accuse Meng Ruoying of killing her brother.This seems unreasonable, quite a bit like a thief shouting "stop thief..."

At this moment, Mrs. Meng woke up, stood up tremblingly and asked, "Ruogu..."

With a sad expression on his face, Chen Xuan stepped forward to support Mrs. Meng, and said in a low voice, "My condolences to Mrs. Ruogu, Brother Ruogu...has gone..."

"How could this happen?" The old lady cried, tears running down her cheeks.The loss of a young husband, a middle-aged child, and the death of the only grandson on her [-]th birthday are undoubtedly the worst tragedies for a woman!What's more, Meng Ruogu is a single heir of three generations, now that he died suddenly, the Meng family will cut off the incense.

All the people present were moved to tears, smelled sadness, and were full of sympathy...

Mrs. Meng asked tremblingly, "How did he die? Who is the murderer?"

Chen Xuan said cautiously: "It was assassinated by someone using a candlestick. As for the murderer, Ruoying Shimei seems... the most suspect..."

"Ruoying?" Mrs. Meng's heart that was riddled with holes was stabbed again. Granddaughter killed grandson?How can a seventy-year-old man bear such a tragedy?

Meng Ruoying rushed over and said, "Grandma, it's not me, it's not me..."

But the bright red blood on his hands and dress seems to be a very unfavorable evidence, which makes people suspicious...

Chen Xuan stood aside, and said earnestly: "After my wife wakes up, there will be some excuses."

The focus of attention has shifted to the young lady Li, and the doctor has arrived to start treatment.

After a while, Xiaotao came with the doctor and said, "My condolences to the old lady, you have to be strong...Although Young Master Sun is gone, you still have a great-grandson!"

"What?" Mrs. Meng was startled suddenly.

The doctor bowed and said: "Go back to the old lady, the young lady has been pregnant for more than a month."

"Really?" Mrs. Meng asked in surprise.

"No mistake, I can be sure!" The doctor is an old gentleman, very sure.

Chen Xuan added in time: "Old madam, God is sorry, I finally left some flesh and blood for the Meng family!"

Mrs. Meng's heart warmed up. If the granddaughter-in-law is pregnant, the incense of the Meng family will be hopeful!I was desperate and sad to the extreme, but at this moment there is a glimmer of hope...

That bitch is pregnant?Lin Zhao couldn't help being surprised, it's really time!Is it really the flesh and blood of the Meng family?Seeing Chen Xuan's face, Lin Zhao immediately remembered the scene of the dog and the man having an affair on the day of rebirth.

Immediately Lin Zhao thought again, Meng Ruogu hadn't come home for more than a month, so where did Li's pregnancy come from?Then the death of Meng Ruogu... Lin Zhao slowly outlined a possibility in his mind.

The government servants from Jiangning County rushed over, and Shao Wenquan, the county magistrate, was present.No one would have thought that such a tragedy would happen on such a happy day today.Originally, he came to pay respects to his birthday, but now he has become a case investigator, and it is a rather tricky case!

Now that the eldest son of the Meng family is dead, it is preliminarily determined that he died of murder, but who is the murderer?Miss Meng?

Shao Wenquan came forward and said: "Young Master Meng suffered an accident, and I am really sad. Please, Madam, please be patient. The most urgent task is to arrest the murderer and give you justice. I need to collect evidence. Excuse me, who was the first to discover the scene?"

"Me!" Chen Xuan, Lin Zhao and Wang Yu all walked out...

Shao Wenquan stepped forward and asked respectfully: "My lord, may I ask what happened at that time?"

Wang Yu said: "Brother Lin and I were chatting in the garden over there, and suddenly I heard Ms. Meng screaming. I thought there was an accident, so I rushed here." Lin Zhao nodded in agreement.

Instead, he asked Chen Xuandao, "Mr. Chen, what about you?"

Chen Xuandao: "Not long ago, Mrs. sister-in-law and maid Xiaotao came to look for me. They said that younger sister Ruoying had a dispute with brother Ruogu. Please come and dissuade me. When I didn't want to rush here, the tragedy had already happened..." Then he added : "I arrived with Prince Wang and Lin Zhao..."

"That's right, that's right!" Young Madam Li came out with the help of her maid, and said sadly: "During the banquet, I came back to change clothes, but found that Ruoying and her husband were arguing fiercely. I don't want to meet Mr. Chen in the garden, so I want to invite him to help dissuade, on the day of great joy, don't alarm grandma... I don't want to... Ruoying, why are you so cruel and killed your own brother?"

While speaking, I cried into tears again, I was so excited!Xiaotao pretended to be on the side and said: "Young Madam, mourning, not for myself, but also for the child in my womb, this is the only flesh and blood of the young master..."

Only then did everyone realize the importance of the Li family to the Meng family at this moment, and her testimony became more credible.

Meng Ruoying shook her head and said, "No, I didn't quarrel with my brother at all. When I came in, my brother was already lying in a pool of blood..."

Chen Xuan asked: "Sister Shi, this is brother Meng's room, why are you here?"

"I..." Meng Ruoying looked at Chen Xuan, and was at a loss for words...

Mrs. Meng looked at her granddaughter in disbelief. She really didn't believe that her granddaughter would do such a heartless act, but the facts seemed...

Meng Ruoying cried: "Grandmother, granddaughter and elder brother depend on each other for life and have always been friendly. How could they murder elder brother? Grandmother..."

In other words, Meng Ruoying seems to lack the motivation to murder her own brother!
Chen Xuan said coldly: "Maybe there wasn't one before, but maybe there is one today..."

"What do you mean?" Meng Ruoying was surprised to find that Chen Xuan, who had been so attentive to her before, seemed to be deliberately embarrassing her today.

Chen Xuandao: "During the banquet, the old lady once said that she wanted the young lady to study financial management and business, that is to say, she wanted the younger sister to hand over the financial rights. The younger sister has been in business for many years, and the entire wealth of the Meng family is controlled by one person. Now it is handed over With others, you may not be willing, so there are also quarrels and conflicts with your elder brother, and it is reasonable to do something out of the ordinary on impulse. It's just that I never imagined that Shimei would be so cruel...I really... Really look at it Wrong person..." A heartbroken expression was quite well expressed.

Li choked and added: "Yes, at that time I heard his brother and sister quarreling, and it seemed that money was mentioned... What Ruoying said, I have worked hard for many years..."

Meng Ruoying said angrily: "Sister-in-law, why did I ever say this? Why did you frame me?"

Panicked, Mrs. Li threw herself into the arms of Mrs. Meng, crying: "Grandmother, what my grandson said is true, my husband died tragically, please grandma decide..."

In this way, no matter how you look at it, Meng Ruoying is very suspicious!
Shao Wenquan, the county magistrate of Jiangning, came forward and said: "Lady, Ms. Meng is indeed suspected of this matter. According to the law, we need to temporarily detain Ms. Meng... But this case still needs to be investigated in detail, and it will not be finalized for the time being... We will not treat you badly." Miss Meng, of course she won't let the murderer go unpunished, she will definitely give Mr. Meng justice..."

Meng Ruoying stared at her grandmother in a daze, feeling very anxious. The decision on this matter might not be in the hands of Mrs. Meng.But at this moment, she needs the trust of her relatives too much...

Mrs. Li buried her head in Mrs. Meng's arms and cried, "Grandmother, you have to decide for your husband..."

Mrs. Meng was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly!

"Grandmother, I was wronged, and my granddaughter was wronged..." Meng Ruoying was disappointed, her eyes were full of panic...

Is it necessary to go to jail unjustly like this, and be charged with murdering his own brother?Meng Ruoying was full of unwillingness.But at this moment, grandmother, as the only relative, didn't believe her.Suddenly, a powerful feeling of loneliness and fear came over me

, who else can you trust?

Meng Ruoying's eyes were full of panic and sadness, and she suddenly saw Lin Zhao in the crowd, yes!He can, he is so smart, he can definitely... Meng Ruoying seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and shouted: "Lin Zhao, save me, save me..."
