That night, Tang Jianqiu, who was staying in the guest room, planned to take a rest early. However, at this moment, Zheng Wenli came to Tang Jianqiu and said that he had something to see him.
Tang Jianqiu didn't pay attention, so he agreed. After opening the door, he found Zheng Wenli holding a food box with food.
Zheng Wenli said straight to the point: "Master Tang, I shouldn't have disturbed you, right?"
"That's not true. What can I ask?"
Tang Jianqiu said in a normal tone, Zheng Wenli just smiled, and then said:
"I thought it was getting late, so I came here to bring you some midnight snacks so you wouldn't be hungry."
Just as he was about to send the food box away, Tang Jianqiu politely refused: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I already had it at the birthday banquet, but I really can't eat it."
"That's a pity. I woke up in the middle of the night and was very hungry. I couldn't just grab a few and eat them. This way I will have an explanation when I go back."
"All right."
In this case, Tang Jianqiu couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and agree.
"please."
"please."
Zheng Wenli slowly opened the lid of the food box, and then presented the food and pastries inside one by one with a smile on his face.
At first Tang Jianqiu didn't pay attention, but when he took a casual glance, he found that the same red flowers as those at the crime scene were placed in the food box.
Tang Jianqiu was shocked. He was so shocked that he hurried forward and asked about the origin of this red flower: "Little brother, where did this flower come from? Please tell the truth?"
Zheng Wenli, however, looked innocent and even more puzzled: "I took it from Su Jing's cousin's room. I thought it looked better and used it, and my younger siblings also liked it.
There are many more in the room. I thought there was nothing wrong with borrowing them. What happened? "
Tang Jianqiu immediately suppressed the most real emotion in his heart, "That's not true, I just asked casually. Brother Xinxin specially brought me a midnight snack."
Zheng Wenli said: "You're welcome."
Tang Jianqiu knew the stakes were high but did not reveal the reason. Zheng Wenli had no choice but to turn around and leave.
After taking out the red flower, and comparing the evidence brought back with the evidence collected from various officials, it was confirmed that the object was Su Jing.
Tang Jianqiu was worried, and all signs could prove that the red flower killer was Su Jing!
An ordinary person might have taken him down long ago, but he always felt that there might be something missing in this case.
In any case, he was a guest at the Su family. Even if there was something important, it would be too rude to make the other party look rude, unless there was some direct evidence to prove that the person who committed this unforgivable crime was Su Jing.
But what method should be used to prove Su Jing's innocence?
Thinking of this, he also had a headache, so he paced back and forth in the room, and all this scene made Ma Hongfei, who was hiding in the distance, look at it.
He mistakenly thought that Zheng Wenli came to Tang Jianqiu for official business, so he hurried to the room where Su Siqing was and explained the reason:
"Mr. Su, Mr. Cousin went to Mr. Tang's room. I came to see you just to avoid another conflict between them."
"Do you know why he is looking for Tang Jianqiu?"
Now that something like this happened, Su Siqing had no intention of resting, so she sat up and answered Ma Hongfei's question.
"I'm not sure about this, but I personally saw Mr. Cousin carrying a food box when he came out. I'm just worried that he came to Mr. Tang because of the case."
Ma Hongfei broke out in a cold sweat. Now he just wanted an answer.
After hearing this, Su Siqing completely let go of the big stone in her heart.
"You are worrying too much. Although Tang Jianqiu is a member of the government, even if he is really involved in any case, it has nothing to do with the Su family. At most, he can just say hello and ask about the situation."
On the ugly day, Zheng Wenli called Ma Hongfei and ordered the housekeeper to invite him to the hall.
Ma Hongfei didn't think much about it, but he had something urgent to do at the time. After putting on his clothes, he hurried to the hall.
He thought he had something very important to tell him, but unexpectedly, the weak Zheng Wenli's attitude suddenly changed.
"But you saw me going to Mr. Tang's room?"
He changed his usual gentlemanly attitude, and his tone became a little more serious.
"Exactly. Could it be that there was some misunderstanding?"
He thought Zheng Wenli had misunderstood what he meant, and when he was about to give an explanation, he received nothing but a pair of cold eyes in response.
Before Ma Hongfei could react, he decisively took out Su Jing's saber and poured it into Ma Hongfei's chest!
He killed the opponent with just one blow. Ma Hongfei looked at the blood hole formed by the wound in disbelief, stumbled and fell to the ground.
Blood flowed from the wound and dyed the ground red.
After getting rid of this troublesome guy, Zheng Wenli walked out of the hall expressionlessly, as if killing people was just a common occurrence for him.
It happened that at this time, Liuxu couldn't sleep and planned to take a walk to relax, but who would have thought that after passing through the hall, he accidentally discovered this shocking murder.
After seeing what happened, she was shocked and her red face turned white.
As a maid, she really didn't know what to say when she saw such a scene. She panicked and hurried back to the room, recalling in disbelief what had just happened.
At the moment when Liuxu was soothing her chest, a pair of black hands covered her mouth and nose...
At the same time, Butler Liu also appeared at the door of Su Jing's room.
Out of courtesy he knocked on the door, keeping his voice as low as possible so as not to disturb others.
"Master, Mr. Ma, please move to the hall. He said that he has something to discuss, so please hurry over."
"Does it have to be now?"
Su Jing was completely sleepless. He was already suffering from being drunk and wanted to catch up on some sleep, but now something like this happened, which really upset him.
"Yes, please go there as soon as possible."
"knew."
Su Jing was a little impatient and immediately opened the quilt to get ready to change. Su Qingshi, who was beside him, saw that he was so busy and didn't think much about it. She just called softly:
"I must have something important to do with you at this time. Don't be too tired, husband."
"Do not worry."
Su Jing smiled softly. After changing her clothes, she did not doubt that he was there and went immediately. But who would have thought that what she saw when she arrived would be such a tragedy.
What came into view was Ma Hongfei's body. Su Jing's pupils dilated and he immediately stepped forward to see if Ma Hongfei was alive.
He tentatively stretched out his fingers and placed them under Ma Hongfei's nostrils to check for breath, but the only response he received was deathly silence.
"Damn it!"
Su Jing could only curse in his heart, and then looked around, as if checking if there was anyone around who could help him. But who would have thought that at this moment, the door of the hall was violently pushed open!
What came into view was a group of servants. They stared at Su Jing menacingly, as if they were filled with hatred, and pointed them at Su Jing.
At that moment, almost everyone here believed that he was the real murderer of Ma Hongfei!
"Son!"
Father Ma looked at the body lying on the ground with great sadness. He was heartbroken over this, wishing that the person lying on the ground was him.
I don't know when a large number of officers and soldiers poured in. Most of them were summoned by Zheng Wenli, and among them was Tang Jianqiu, and even Su Jing's biological father was there!
This time it can be said that it is hard to explain.
Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes makes it difficult to explain even if you want to.
Looking at his son who was so separated from him, Father Ma couldn't believe it for a moment, and his body couldn't stop trembling.
He was filled with grief and anger, and then he pointed all the fingers at Su Jing, and immediately scolded: "Su Jing! Why are you so cruel? What grudge do you have against him? You poisoned my son!"
"I didn't kill him, I just arrived." Su Jing was so speechless that he didn't know how to explain.
"Shut up! What is this?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the Jing Dao inserted into Ma Hongfei's body, and Su Jing's face became increasingly ugly.
"King Dao." He gritted his teeth and said.
It was this answer that made Father Ma even more angry.
"If I guess correctly, this is your murder weapon!"
Su Jing clenched his fists, "The Jingdao is indeed my possession, but the murderer is really not me."
Father Ma looked at Su Jing coldly, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke, "Who would believe you?"
"It was Butler Liu who brought me here before I came here. He can testify!"
Just as Su Jing said this, he turned his attention to Butler Liu. Unexpectedly, he refused to admit his fault, and instead said plausibly:
"No! Master, you are lying."
As the only person who could prove Su Jing's innocence, Butler Liu turned against him at the critical moment. It was these words that made Su Jing furious.
"Steward Liu, you!"
Butler Liu insisted, as if he was the victim, "Master, even if you take good care of me, I will not lie in front of the facts."
"Dog slave!"
Su Jing yelled and cursed on the spot, but he didn't realize that he had been fooled until this moment.
"Su Siqing! Look at the good son you trained!"
When the conversation changed, he pointed the finger at Su Siqing again, and his outstretched hand couldn't stop trembling.
Su Siqing looked ugly and tried to explain: "This... teacher, there must be some misunderstanding. Even though my son is naughty by nature, I dare to guarantee my wealth and life. He will never do anything worse than a beast!
Please give me some more time to prove my innocence. "
"Is there any explanation? Su Jing, take your life!"
Father Ma was so angry that he wanted to kill Su Jing, and he planned to risk his life to kill Su Jing.
Su Jing couldn't argue. He knew that the situation was not good for him, and he couldn't kill others by mistake, so he could only break out for the time being.
"Master Tang, why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and chase me!"
Father Ma's words brought Tang Jianqiu back to reality. He had no choice but to take care of it and immediately chased after him.
Su Jing jumped over the rooftops and skillfully used Qinggong to avoid the opponent's pursuit. Tang Jianqiu followed closely behind. The distance between the two became closer and closer as time went by.
Su Jing knew very well that even if he just escaped like this, it would not be an option. Sooner or later, Tang Jianqiu would catch up with him, so escaping like this would make it easier to get convicted and simply give up.
Seeing that Su Jing had stopped, Tang Jianqiu didn't take it down directly, so he went straight to the point: "I just want to know, where did you go the first night I came to Su's house?"
"You don't have to know." Su Jing said without looking back.
Looking at the lonely and desolate back, Tang Jianqiu clenched his fists tightly, looking like he was still angry, "Do you know what the consequences will be if you hide it?"
"I know that I will be listed as the Red Flower Killer in the Red Flower Case, right?"
Su Jing smiled bitterly. He had already guessed this day, but he didn't expect it would happen in this way.
Unexpectedly, he was once a wise man, but now he was framed. Why did he listen to this dog slave and come to the hall? When was he incited to rebel?
"You knew this, why didn't you explain why earlier?"
Tang Jianqiu was very confused. Since he was wronged, wouldn't it be better to explain the reason earlier?
However, Su Jing had already looked away, because he also sent someone to investigate the matter, but he just didn't want to be misunderstood, and the person who came to arrest him was his best brother.
"So you want to take me back?"
"... Frankly speaking, I don't want to send you to Beizhen Fusi, but letting you go back like this is not in line with my style of doing things.
Why don't you compete with me? If you win, treat me as a failure. If I win, you can follow me. How about that? "
