Chapter 31 Su Muzhe (15)

The moment she said it, I couldn't help but let out a long breath, and before the mayor said anything else, I came over and pulled him out, saying, "The Su family has undergone major changes one after another, young mistress has a lot of things to deal with, Let's stop nagging her."

The mayor was held back by me, with a puzzled expression on his face, and it was hard to break free, so he walked out of Su's house with me. As soon as he walked out of Su's house, he kept asking me: "What's the matter, sir, how did Su Mu die?" Yes, he really poisoned himself?"

I held my breath in my heart, and walked a long distance in one breath. I didn't stop until I was far away from Su's house, and turned my head to look at him with a stern expression.Seeing this, the mayor touched his face and said with an apologetic smile, "What's wrong, sir?"

"Su Mu did not poison the wine." I took a deep breath to calm the restlessness in my heart, "You guessed right, Murong poisoned him."

The mayor was shocked when he heard this: "Then how did the gentleman say that he committed suicide?"

As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to go back to Su's house. I stretched out my hand to hold him back, and said, "Su Mu committed suicide by taking poison. This is what he said before he died. The dead are the most important, and the mayor should not pursue this matter any further. Bar."

"He... is defending Murong!" the mayor said in surprise, "Murong poisoned him, but he is still protecting Murong, what... what's going on?"

"Most of Qiu Yehong's guesses about Su Mu are correct. When Su Mu learned of Qiu Tian'er's death when he was doing business abroad, he took it for granted that Murong saw through the affair and killed Qiu in anger. Tim, so I want to take revenge on Murong."

"But he was still defending Murong before he died..."

"Su Fu died outside. You all thought that Su Mu killed him. This was his revenge on Murong. But you were all wrong. He was far crazier than you imagined—he decided that Murong killed him. The person she loves, so she asked Murong Ye to kill the person she loves with her own hands. What's even more frightening is that he succeeded."

When I said these words, I imagined that when Su Mu was planning these things, the meticulous and crazy eyes flashed in his eyes, and his whole body was trembling.

The mayor couldn't understand what I said, and he looked puzzled.I smiled bitterly and said, "Most of Qiu Yehong's guesses are correct, except for one thing - the person who returned to Su's house was not Su Mu, but Su Fu! Just now, Murong killed her with her own hands." favorite person."

The mayor trembled when he heard it, and looked at me with wide-eyed and frightened eyes.Suppressing the sadness in my heart, I told him everything I deduced from the two pieces of Wen Zhengming's handwriting.Su Mu thought that it was Murong who found out about his affair with Qiu Tian'er, hated Qiu Tian'er for ruining her and Su Fu's happiness, and killed Qiu Tian'er in a rage.So he wrote back and told Murong that he had killed Su Fu, and then deliberately provoked Su Fu to kill him. Before he died, he used words to induce Su Fu to take his place and returned to Yutian Town.

After Su Fu came back, he naturally couldn't admit that he had killed someone, and Su Mu's letter said that Su Fu was "dead". In addition, there is no custom of remarrying widows in Yutian Town. If he wants to be with Murong, he can only pretend to be Su Mu. in the name of.When he had just returned to Su's house that day, he had tested Murong and asked her if she still liked Su Fu, but Murong lost his temper, so he didn't dare to tell her the truth at all.

The most crucial point of the whole thing is the letter Su Mu sent to Murong. Once Murong reads the letter and knows that Su Mu "killed" Su Fu, he will definitely hate "Su Mu". Unexpectedly, Murong was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, and poisoned "Su Mu" to death.

And this happened to fall into Su Mu's trap - he used his own death to set up a trap for Su Fu and Murong.

Before his death, Guanshi Su said, "It's enough to watch the two young masters get married." But in fact, Su Fu didn't get married. I always knew that it was Su Fu who came back.Now that Su Mu is gone, he wants Su Fu to live a good life under Su Mu's name, to be with Murong well, and to watch him get married.

And that's why he wanted that letter, he was afraid that there would be something Su Fu didn't know about that letter written by Su Mu, which would reveal the secret of Su Fu's identity.But Mrs. Su misunderstood him, thinking that he was threatening Su Fu with this, so she killed him.Later, the death of Mrs. Su was also related to this. She personally killed the steward who had been loyal to the Su family for decades, and she felt extremely guilty.

After I finished speaking, the mayor was speechless for a long while.The whole thing was planned so meticulously that it could be said to be exhaustive, and it was really creepy.The only thing that went wrong was that the letter that was supposed to be delivered to Murong from the very beginning was delivered to her after several twists and turns, which directly led to so many incidents in the middle.

"But, that letter was clearly in the clothes I changed out of, and it wasn't snatched by anyone, so why did it end up in Murong's hand?" I said, staring at the mayor, "The mayor knows what happened something?"

The mayor avoided my eyes, with sweat on his forehead, forced a smile, and said in a low voice, "Mister doesn't even know about this, so how can I know?"

After I told everything, my heart felt much lighter, and I said sadly: "Since the matter has already happened, not telling Murong the truth is the greatest kindness to her. Su Fu also thought so before he died. Since it is the deceased's If you ask, the mayor will agree."

The mayor was silent for a moment, and then responded.I didn't speak any more, just nodded to him, and wanted to go back to the hotel.Unexpectedly, as soon as I took a step, the mayor stopped me from behind again. I turned around, but he hesitated again.

I just looked at him quietly and didn't speak.After a long time, the mayor said with a complicated expression: "I did take the letter, how did you know about it, sir?"

"The letter appeared in the hall of Mu's family on the day when Mu's adoptive son was born." I replied, "The only ones who know that the letter is in my clothes are you, Guanshi Su and Su Fu. Of the three, Guanshi Su was at that time. It is already gone, Su Fu will not do this by himself, so naturally it can only be you. But when did you take the letter away? I was very puzzled by this. The night we first met, You have been under the owner's sight all the time, so it is impossible to go to my room to get the letter, but after thinking about it, I realized that the letter was not taken away that night, because you went to the hotel once the next day. "

"That's right, that day you said in the town hall that the baggage was taken away, I don't need to worry about it, I will go to the store and talk to the owner, and let him put the account on the town hall's account, that's when I went to live shop, went to Mr.’s room while the owner was not paying attention, and took the letter.”

What he said was the same as what I thought, but I still didn't know why he did this, so I looked at him with consulting eyes.The mayor was a little distracted after he finished speaking, and he said after a while: "To tell you the truth, sir, I do have some selfishness in this matter."

"The mayor and Su Mu's family have enmity, so it depends on their two families killing each other?" I asked him.

The mayor shook his head, a little embarrassed, "I have nothing to do with the Su Mu family, but Qiu Tian'er's mother and I have known each other from old times."

Hearing what he said, I suddenly realized that the mayor was familiar with Qiu Tian'er's mother, and maybe they had a relationship back then, so I paid special attention to Qiu Tian'er and Qiu Yehong.

Seeing the expression on my face, the mayor knew that I had guessed the key point, and his face was slightly flushed, and said: "At that time, Qiu Tian'er's mother was a widow when she was young, and I was also a widow in my prime. Meaning. But the husband knows that there has never been a custom of remarrying after the death of a husband in the town, so I let it go. A few years later, for some unknown reason, she suddenly committed suicide at home. Before she died, she asked me to take care of the Qiu family. For the two siblings, I agreed with her."

As soon as he said a few words, I already understood in my heart that Qiu Tian'er died at the hands of Mrs. Su, and Qiu Tian'er's mother was gone, so naturally he couldn't seek justice for his daughter from the Su family, so he replaced her mother Did this, sent that letter.After Murong read the letter, he would naturally go to "Su Mu" to settle the score.

"Qiu Tian'er died unexpectedly, and Qiu Yehong went away. I couldn't stop these two things. I felt deeply ashamed of my old friend, so I did this on a single thought." The mayor said, "It's just that I didn't know that I came back. It was actually Su Fu. If he knew, he was also a victim of the whole incident, and I would never do it."

I didn't answer after he finished speaking, but stared at him for a long time without saying a word. The mayor looked a little bit like a thorn on his back, lowered his head and coughed lightly, and then I slowly said: "If you come back If it's Su Mu, can the mayor justifiably let Murong attack him? May I ask what's wrong with Murong?"

The mayor trembled slightly, didn't speak, and neither did I, just staring at him.After a long time, the mayor said in a low voice: "I did this wrong. She is the most innocent person in this whole matter. Don't worry, sir, I will explain this matter to the county. I have to deal with it myself, and I can't blame others."

I shook my head, walked forward, and said: "You sent her a letter that was originally intended for Murong, what can you do with it? By the way, the town's family letters are almost received. I'm about to leave Yutian Town, so I won't go to the town office to say goodbye, and let the mayor know."

The mayor didn't make a sound behind me, and I didn't look back. Instead, I walked straight back to the store. After I went back, I packed up my things and told the owner of the store, thanking him for his care these days. , and then put away the resident sign at the door, and left Yutian Town with the burden on his back.

When I left the town, I passed the mountain stream where I first met Qiu Yehong again, and I was in a trance again. The matter of the Su Mu family has come to an end. I don’t know, and I don’t want to know what will happen next. Know.All I know is that what happened in Yutian Town is the saddest thing I have ever seen since I became a patrol horse.

A woman, because she wanted to avenge the person she loved, ended up killing him with her own hands.Is there anything more tragic than this in this world?And the irony is that in this whole thing, the source of all the tragedy is in the name of love.However, not all love can bring warmth, just like water, people in the desert live because of it, but people in the flood die because of it.There is a kind of love that also has a sharp knife light, which destroys everything.

Murong personally killed "Su Mu" and avenged herself and "Su Fu". Maybe she is satisfied at this moment, but what about the days to come?I imagined that the young mistress of the Su family was sitting in the hall of that empty big house guarding her love and hate.

In the beginning, no matter love or hate, she could stand chewing. She might grit her teeth in reminiscence of the past, or remember the old days with tenderness.But time is merciless after all, and one day love and hate will disappear under its sharp teeth, like the wind passing through the hall. At that time, there will be nothing in the Su family mansion, only full of loneliness.

And loneliness will not bloom, it will only be as sad as water, slowly soaking this big house, and finally engulfing her without splashing a trace of water.My heart was a little heavy, and I suddenly remembered the little story that Su Fu told before he died. Was it Su Mu who told him?And what kind of despair was Su Fu before he died?
I glanced back at Yutian Town behind me, turned my head and crossed the mountain stream, as if I had crossed the whole thing.The wind is a bit strong, I clamped my clothes tightly, the road ahead is still very long.
