Tang Jianqiu returned without success. In order to avoid disturbing the people in the Su family, he cleverly used Qinggong to return to his residence without anyone noticing.
Back in the guest room, Tang Jianqiu sighed, feeling a little bored at the moment.
He was pacing back and forth in the room when he was supposed to be resting, which unavoidably worried Ah Fei, who was already loyal.
"What are you upset about, sir?"
A Fei was worried. It would be best if he could do a few things for Tang Jianqiu.
This might have been fine for someone else, but A Fei's loyalty was needless to say, and Tang Jianqiu could naturally trust him.
"I am worried about the Honghua case."
"This case is just the beginning, so why should you rush for success?"
Ah Fei misunderstood Tang Jianqiu's meaning. He thought that Tang Jianqiu was so upset not because of the difficulty of the case, but because he had doubts about the man behind the scenes.
The figure of the Red Flower Killer flashed across Tang Jianqiu's mind.
Although Tang Jianqiu had never seen this person's appearance, only his eyes were exposed, but he still had doubts about this matter.
Faced with the question raised by A Fei, Tang Jianqiu answered this way: "Master Yin Tang of Shuntian Prefecture entrusted this matter to me out of trust. He ordered me to find out the culprit of the Honghua case, and the local people reported Su Jingyou. suspected of being involved in the case,
Today, the governor of Japan went to apprehend him, but he let the thief escape. In the end, the governor of Japan was careless. "
Hearing this, Ah Fei already had an idea and was about to say something, but considering the relationship between the two of them, he had to use a more tactful way of speaking.
"My lord, do you suspect that it was Lord Su Jingsu who committed the unforgivable crime?"
This is what Tang Jianqiu can't let go of, but he does understand Su Jing's personality.
"No, there is currently no evidence to prove that Su Jing was responsible for this case. This person's swordsmanship, body and conduct are strikingly similar to Su Jing's."
This is the difficulty. If you really jump to conclusions, I'm afraid...
"Your Excellency, you might as well test Mr. Su's martial arts skills tomorrow. Maybe there is something to be found in this case."
A Fei made a suggestion that won Tang Jianqiu's heart. He was already upset because of this matter, so now it was best for A Fei to help him in times of need.
Why worry if he is not the murderer? There is no need to be worried about this matter.
If the murderer is really him, then Tang Jianqiu will naturally not take into account the brotherhood and judge him according to law!
"This is a great plan, just do as you say!"
In order to prevent Mr. Su from misunderstanding, a suitable reason must be found.
After all, he was in someone else's mansion, so it was not good for him to speak rashly as a guest. Such rashness would probably make people angry.
The next day, Tang Jianqiu came to the courtyard and was stunned when he saw the autumn leaves falling. He only came to his senses after Ah Fei reminded him.
Tang Jianqiu was already troubled by the verification matter and was wondering what reason to find, but unexpectedly there was a turn for the better.
Without waiting for Tang Jianqiu's invitation, Su Jing was very excited and planned to invite Tang Jianqiu to the courtyard for a competition.
At first, I thought he had gone to the government to handle a case again, but who would have thought that Su Jin was in this courtyard.
It's so good that all the hard work of searching for it is not in vain.
"Jianqiu, I'm looking for you. Are you interested in competing with me?"
"Okay, I'm just afraid of disturbing Uncle Su."
Tang Jianqiu readily agreed, but still had concerns.
Su Jing didn't care about this. He had always been a straightforward person and never had to worry about such trivial matters.
"You are worrying too much about this. I have already asked dad for instructions before coming to see you. You don't have to worry too much."
"Okay, in that case, it's time to work!"
Ever since, the two of them stood on one side, forming opposite sides.
Both sides were full of fighting spirit, and the murderous look on their faces became more and more intense.
With the news of the martial arts competition between the young master of the Su family and the young master of the Tang family, many people will naturally come to watch.
Soon, news of the contest between the two spread throughout the palace, but Ma Hongfei, the son of Su Siqing's mentor, felt that this move was really inappropriate.
He thought that doing so would hurt the harmony, so he would not fight if he could.
Zheng Wenli disagreed with this. He believed that both of them were people with martial arts skills, not to mention that it was just a martial arts competition, so why not?
Even if you can't use your sword skills to perfection, you must at least show it off,
Rumor has it that although Tang Jianqiu was a member of the government and was always as open-minded as a rock, he didn't like to compete with others. The only exception was the martial arts contest to recruit a bride.
They really couldn't understand why Tang Jianqiu accepted this challenge?
Only those who truly understand Tang Jianqiu understand that striving for victory is meaningless.
Tang Jianqiu thought that since his sword skills were very similar to those of the Red Flower Killer, wouldn't it be more clear to compare with him?
"But Master Tang can teach me!"
Su Jing hugged his fists, and Tang Jianqiu quickly bowed and returned the greeting.
"You're welcome, Mr. Su. This is Tang Jianqiu's good fortune. Please start!"
Their hair was tied back and neatly combed, making them look handsome and elegant.
However, his black hair fluttered in the wind, looking majestic.
Tang Jianqiu and Su Jing confronted each other, and the surrounding area was filled with tension.
Their gazes were relatively still. Tang Jianqiu's eyes were like eagles, staring at Su Jing.
He held the hilt of the knife, while Su Jing looked at Tang Jianqiu warily.
Taking the falling leaves as an opportunity, they made a prompt decision. They first clasped their fists in greeting, and then slowly moved their steps.
Like a dance, the tip of the knife moves forward and the knife moves backward.
After the accumulated power exploded, Su Jing shouted and rushed towards Tang Jianqiu. The sword in his hand stabbed out like lightning, as fast as the wind.
Tang Jianqiu had quick eyes and quick hands. He ducked sideways and counterattacked with his sword.
"Dang!"
The sound of metal clashing echoed in the air, making people's hearts beat faster. Even if they were watching from the side, they could still feel the suffocating feeling.
The people on the field did not dare to express their excitement when they saw this scene, and almost all watched the whole process with bated breath.
They moved quickly, their swords flashed with cold shadows, and their energy was overflowing!
Su Jing's figure wielding the knife was as fast as a meteor, while Tang Jianqiu was as stable as a mountain, and Xiuchun's knife was as vicious as a poisonous snake spreading its fangs, as if it wanted to devour Su Jing.
However, Su Jing was not afraid. He waved the handle of the knife and defeated Tang Jianqiu's attacks one by one!
In the field, the two men each held a long sword. They went back and forth with each other, and they executed more than 20 moves. Their sparring became more and more sophisticated, so much so that both of them breathed quickly at the critical moment.
As if they were aware of the other party's intentions, their sword skills became faster and faster and more ferocious!
Su Jing also knew that his sword skills were exquisite and varied, and could be combined into thousands of different moves. There was no trace to follow when he was in junior high school, but Tang Jianqiu's martial arts reputation was by no means in vain.
No matter how fiercely Su Jing changed his moves, Tang Jianqiu could always resolve them one by one.
As a result, the two of them exchanged dozens of moves. Tang Jianqiu saw that the time had come, and then changed from defense to attack. He flew up and attacked Su Jing from top to bottom, knocking him back with just one move.
Su Jing landed on his feet and took several steps back before he could barely stand still.
After that, Su Jing suddenly used a sword technique full of flaws, and Tang Jianqiu was caught off guard. He didn't seem to expect that the other party would use such a method, which shocked him.
The power of the sword unconsciously stagnated for a moment. At this moment, Su Jing's sword was about to stab Tang Jianqiu's chest.
He used various techniques to keep himself in an active position.
Tang Jianqiu moved quickly, flexibly avoiding the opponent's attacks and launching a rapid offensive at the same time.
However, Tang Jianqiu did not fall. He reacted in time, blocked Su Jing's attack with Xiuchun Dao, and knocked his weapon away!
Taking this opportunity, Tang Jianqiu turned his fist into his palm and pushed him three feet away.
At this moment, the outcome of the competition between the two finally came to a conclusion.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers all applauded, and some even commented on the competition.
This matter is a foregone conclusion and there is no need to make any further fuss. Tang Jianqiu already has an answer in his mind for this competition.
As for Su Jing, he felt a little satisfied and did not change the friendship between the two because of winning or losing.
Tang Jianqiu stopped his attack and put the weapon back into its scabbard.
Although the victory and defeat made them feel a little uncomfortable, fortunately, the two of them had a good friendship and would not be affected by this trivial matter.
The two of them smiled and passed by, but Su Jing spoke up and expressed his point of view: "Jianqiu, if you hadn't been merciful, I would have fallen to the ground and been defeated. Beizhen Fusi Town Fushi is indeed well-deserved!"
In this regard, Tang Jianqiu said very modestly: "Brother Su, you are joking. Your sword skills are also very good. There are a few moves that Tang is hard to guard against."
Su Jing stepped forward and patted Tang Jianqiu on the shoulder, saying: "If you lose, you lose. There is no shame in my skills being inferior to yours."
Tang Jianqiu was not in a hurry to reply. There were some things that he didn't want to think about anymore. The investigation of the case was still the most important thing at the moment.
This can be said to have aggravated the suspicion. The moves Su Jing used were not exactly identical, but they were eighty-nine points similar.
But even so, it still can't be used as evidence. Since you can't find evidence, just go to him directly.
He already had a headache because of this matter, and the matter might be more difficult than Tang Jianqiu thought.
The general came to Beizhen Fusi again and asked about Tang Jianqiu's whereabouts. The local Jinyi guards rushed to the scene and reported the matter truthfully.
Tang Jianqiu naturally did not dare to neglect and returned as fast as he could, but who would have thought that the first-grade general came here to question him, which made Tang Jianqiu feel heartbroken.
"Tang Jianqiu, I would like to ask you, general, whether the murderer has been captured?"
Tang Jianqiu looked troubled, but he could understand the general's mood and said: "General, tracking down the murder case is not an easy task. You still need to wait patiently."
The general was furious after hearing this, "This is really unreasonable! As the governor of Beizhen Fusi, you are not strict in your governance, and this matter happened again within your jurisdiction.
What's more, this murder happened in this general's house! What's the point of asking you to be the governor? Is there no object of suspicion? "
"Returning to the general, I do have someone to suspect. From the current clues, we have some clues, but we cannot directly confirm the identity of the murderer."
How could Tang Jianqiu say Su Jing's name? It is unbelievable that the prime minister's son is involved in a murder case.
Besides, it's just a suspicion. If I tell him outright, I'm afraid it will lead to death.
How can a first-grade general sit still? He believed that Tang Jianqiu was just escaping responsibility for dereliction of duty.
"Why go to all this trouble? Just arrest people and force them to confess by their words and deeds! Your Beizhen Fusi is incompetent and our general's office is not a freeloader!"
"General, according to the court's practice, the case cannot be closed hastily before the clues are clear. Even if there is evidence in hand, even a little bit cannot be disposed of at will.
What's more, Beizhen Fusi's work is kept secret, and now that the time has not come, it is really inconvenient to disclose it. "
Does the general agree with this statement? He believed that he was the victim and had the right to know the clues.
As for Tang Jianqiu, a small fourth-rank servant, although he had real power, his official rank was not as high as his own. Even if he had something, he shouldn't be like this.
If this guy makes him, a first-class general, dissatisfied, he can complain to the Holy One!
