"The reason why Zhao Liang committed suicide was definitely not because he was afraid of hurting his family."
"Why?"
Du Ziqi said coldly: "Because he is alone, how can he have a family?"
Then he looked at Su Zhou and said slowly: "I also know that the reason why General Su wants to cooperate with Mr. Su is just to trick me. In fact, it doesn't have to be like this at all."
"If I don't want to say it, I will never say even a word, no matter how hard it is. When I want to say something, you don't have to ask, I will tell you."
He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at being told something that was on his mind. Su Zhou couldn't help but touch his nose.
However, Su Shi didn't have any embarrassed expression, and he asked again: "What else?"
At this time, Du Ziqi's face showed a trace of sadness: "Cui Peng's death was indeed an accident, and no one planned to kill him."
No matter how sincere Du Ziqi was, Zhou Jin would not believe it. She snorted coldly and asked, "You keep saying that Cui Peng's death was not premeditated. Then answer me, why did you appear in Pingningfang? And why?" So it happened that Zhao Liang's carriage was called? How happened that the horse was bitten by a wild dog? But there was another wild dog on the Pingning Bridge, and it happened that the bearing of the carriage broke at that time? "
Du Ziqi smiled bitterly and said: "The reason why I appeared in Pingningfang was because Lu Yaozong said that Cui Peng was in Kumho Spring at night. At that time, I suddenly remembered that he and I had not seen each other for at least two years, so I acted on a whim. The celebration banquet is set at Shiweixiang in Pingningfang."
"Lu Yaozong?"
Su Zhou whispered from the side: "It was Lu Yaozong who took action to solve the problem of Cui Peng's brother-in-law being coerced. Cui Peng wanted to invite him to the banquet that night, but Lu Yaozong had something to do and couldn't leave that day."
"Is Lu Yaozong still here?"
Su Zhou shook his head.
At this time, they heard Zhou Jin ask again: "What about Zhao Liang? Why did you choose Zhao Liang's carriage?"
Du Ziqi sighed: "Because I already know Zhao Liang. When I see Zhao Liang there, I will naturally choose his carriage."
Zhou Jin said slowly: "So, you just had a meal at Shiweixiang, and then happened to meet Cui Peng, drank with him, and then happened to meet Zhao Liang."
"I know you won't believe it." Du Ziqi sighed, "But this is the truth."
Zhou Jin kept sneering, and then asked Su Shi, "Do you believe what he said?"
"Since Cui Peng's death was really an accident, why did Zhao Liang commit suicide? And he was so decisive."
"Because although Cui Peng's death was an accident, since you found him, he was worried that his secret would be found out by you, so he chose to commit suicide."
"What secret?"
Du Ziqi smiled and said: "Since Zhao Liang will die to protect this secret, how could I tell you."
Su Shi did not continue to ask. He thought about it seriously and said, "I believe you. Cui Peng's death was indeed an accident."
Not only Zhou Jin and Su Shi were surprised, but also Du Ziqi was surprised because he didn't expect Su Shi to believe him so easily.
So he couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
“Three reasons, motivation, timing and people.”
Before anyone else could ask, Su Shi explained: "I said, I have never figured out why Cui Peng was attacked. If it was to eliminate hidden dangers, the other party would never tolerate it for seven years."
Then he looked directly at Du Ziqi and smiled: "And I believe that he wants Cui Peng to die. With just one sentence, Cui Peng will commit suicide without hesitation like Zhao Liang. There is no need to create an accident."
Du Ziqi suddenly looked at Su Shi with respect, as if he were looking at that person. Because he found that Su Shi might be the only person in this world who could understand him.
"The second thing is timing. Even if the other party has the motive to kill Cui Peng, it was definitely not a good time to do it last night."
Having said this, he smiled and continued: "You were about to track down Cui Peng, and Cui Peng had an accident. Anyone who encounters such a thing will be suspicious. Even if no evidence can be found, they will always be in their hearts. Plant a thorn. With such a smart brain, the other party would never have thought of this."
"What does human mean?" Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask.
Su Shi sighed: "Even if the other party had to get rid of Cui Peng last night, Master Du should not be allowed to take action."
"Why?"
Su Shi thought deeply: "Because of the Red Plum Pavilion incident, Lord Du was also involved. If Lord Du appears again in Cui Peng's matter, in the eyes of a careful person, Lord Du will inevitably arouse suspicion."
Having said this, Su Shi smiled and said, "I didn't originally doubt Mr. Du about the Red Plum Pavilion. It was precisely because I heard Mr. Du's name again in this matter that it aroused my vigilance."
Zhou Jin couldn't help but smile when she heard that Su Shi was bragging about himself at this time, but she had to admit that Su Shi was indeed a thoughtful person.
"However, although Cui Peng's death was an accident, the haunting of the Red Plum Pavilion was a scene performed by you, Cui Peng and Tang Ci. You won't deny this, right?"
Du Ziqi smiled bitterly and said, "Since Mr. Su is so thoughtful, how can I deny it?"
"Why do you do this?"
"Do as you're told."
"Following orders? Didn't he tell you why?"
Du Ziqi nodded and said slowly: "The order I received is how to arrange the manpower, and then report what I saw and heard to Your Majesty."
"Where are Cui Peng and Tang Ci?"
"Cooperate with others to perform this play."
Su Shi fell into deep thought, his brows coming together. Others couldn't help but hold their breath and stare at him blankly.
After a long time, Su Cai looked up at Du Ziqi and asked slowly again: "Did you know that Cui Peng and Tang Ci were in the same organization as you?"
"Organization? What organization?" Du Ziqi frowned and couldn't help but ask.
Su Shi was surprised: "Don't you join any organization?"
Du Ziqi was furious and said: "As a member of the Emperor's personal army, I will only be loyal to the Emperor, so how can I join any organization?"
Seeing Du Ziqi looking so angry, it didn't seem like he was lying, so he couldn't help but touch his nose.
Because this thing has become more and more weird, so weird that he can hardly figure it out.
Su Shi took a deep breath, and then asked word by word: "What is your relationship with him?"
Du Ziqi closed his mouth tightly again.
"You still have to defend him."
Du Ziqi hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Although I don't know why he planned the haunting incident at Hongmei Pavilion, I know that he didn't hurt anyone."
"What about the prince? Why did he kill the prince?"
