He couldn't help but feel his wrist trembling slightly, but he didn't say anything to refute Su Yao in the end.
Now the facts are in front of us. There was indeed someone in the Su family’s territory who was planning to kill Su Xingyi.
But how did Su Xingxuan do it? !
He stood there for a while with a pale face, and then he heard Su Yao suddenly shouting something in a sharp voice. He woke up with a start and hurried into the east wing. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Su Yao taking out a very tattered robe from a bundle, and he was immediately startled.
Then he couldn't help but took a few steps forward, took the clothes in his hands, and almost bit his lips!
This dress was made of Songjiang cloth, and the outside was covered with blood and dirt that had dried for who knows how long. It looked tattered, but what really shocked Master Su San was not this, but the long passage of text written on the back of the dress.
After reading those words carefully, Master Su San's face changed drastically and he couldn't even hold his clothes.
This is a real blood letter, which accuses the current emperor of being stubborn, suspicious, killing his own children, and harming loyal officials...
His hands couldn't help shaking and his teeth were chattering.
It was not until this time that he truly realized that there really was a complicated web that enveloped them all, and they had become someone else's prey.
But who is the hunter
Before Master Su San could ask, He Jian quickly opened the door and reported in a rare panic: "Master San, Young Master and Young Miss, there are Jinyiwei outside!"
It’s the Imperial Guard again!
Master Su San looked pale and had forgotten even to react.
Su Yao reacted very quickly. He snatched the clothes from his hand and stuffed them into the large vat behind him which contained many scrolls.
In a flash, the sound of uniform footsteps was heard outside. Master Su San looked up and saw at least a dozen Jinyiwei entering one after another.
His vision suddenly went dark.
Su Rong also clenched the handles of the wheelchair with both hands, and his whole body tensed up.
The leader of the team was not Song Heng, but Lai Weiqi, the current commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
Unlike Song Heng, who was a favorite of the emperor and a lawless son of an aristocratic family, Lai Weiqi had truly worked his way up through the army. He was born into a poor family and his family was a tenant farmer. He worked hard all year round but could never even afford a meal after paying the rent for the fields. His family had suffered a disaster and it was difficult to make a living, so he joined the army just for the monthly salary of two taels of silver.
When he was fighting against the Japanese pirates in Fujian, he was famous for his bravery and fearlessness. Later, after being transferred to Shaanxi, he made great contributions and was noticed by Emperor Yuanfeng, who promoted him to deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
The reason he got to where he is today is because of his ruthlessness, so when someone sees him coming to their house, they immediately know that they are not far from death and usually pack up and prepare.
Now this killer has come to my house!
Master Su San was so nervous that he couldn't even speak. Su Yao called out to Su Rong in a low voice, "Brother, there has been no clear decree. Even if the Jinyiwei come, they should just ask questions. Don't panic."
Yes, even if Guo Chongxing was once a family general of the Earl's Mansion, there had been no contact for so many years, and the title of the Earl's Mansion had been vacant, not to mention continuing to fill the vacancy and lead the troops, so no one could immediately blame the Earl's Mansion.
As long as you can keep steady!
He calmed himself down, nodded to Su Yao almost imperceptibly, and let He Jian push him out the door to wait for Lai Weiqi and his party in the corridor. Then he calmly bowed to Lai Weiqi and said, "Commander Lai, I'm sorry that I can't salute you because of my inconvenience."
Master Su San followed closely behind him and forced a smile at Lai Weiqi: "Commander Lai, what's the matter?"
The person who came broke directly into the inner courtyard, which shows that it is not a trivial matter.
Master Su San thought about what happened before, and no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this was a matter of life and death, so he was extremely alert.
Lai Weiqi's cold eyes, as if dipped in ice, swept over everyone. He was slightly surprised when he landed on Su Yao, but then he said in a cold voice: "Guo Chongxing committed suicide in Caishikou after causing trouble, and left a blood letter to defame the emperor. He is a traitor and an unforgivable sin!"
After saying these thunderous words, Lai Weiqi looked around and saw that the Su family members were all pale, so he continued: "After interrogating Guo Chongxing's family, it was found that Guo Chongxing was a former member of the Su family and was loyal to the Su family. In addition, he has been frequently visiting the Wen family and meeting Miss Su recently."
Master Su San felt a chill in his heart.
Sure enough, it is true!
He thought about how Chunyan almost killed Su Xingyi just now, and his whole back was soaked with cold sweat.
Oh my God, it was just a little bit short! If Su Xingyi died and Chunyan lived, everything would be over now!
Su Rong met Lai Weiqi's gaze calmly, frowning calmly: "This is simply nonsense! Guo Chongxing is indeed an old subordinate of our family, but who doesn't have a few old subordinates who followed the emperor to conquer the world? Are these old subordinates not the emperor's subjects? Guo Chongxing himself is also an official. Besides, my father and grandfather have been gone for many years. How can there be a so-called master and servant, and how can there be so-called orders and instructions?"
He was neither humble nor arrogant, and he bowed to Lai Weiqi again: "So that you know, my elder sister is indeed the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family, but we only found out today that Wen Shichang actually had an affair with his brother's wife and imprisoned my elder sister. How could my elder sister, a woman, go beyond her husband's family and see a man outside? This is clearly someone deliberately framed her!"
These words were powerful. Lai Weiqi looked at Su Rong deeply and raised the corner of his mouth, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Master Su, don't worry. Since someone has reported it, it is natural for us to investigate. I wonder where Miss Su is now?"
Su Rong frowned: "My eldest sister was traumatized at the Wen family and fainted due to postpartum hemorrhage. She is still lying on the bed..."
"It's nothing. I'll go down and take a look. It's no problem." Lai Weiqi said as he strode past Master Su San and headed towards the room.
But Su Yao suddenly stood in front of him.
"How dare you!" A Jinyiwei behind Lai Weiqi drew out his embroidered spring sword fiercely: "How dare you openly obstruct the commander from investigating the case and questioning?!"
When the Jinyiwei investigate cases, they never discriminate between meat and vegetables, and there is no such thing as rules. They don't care about the distinction between the inner and outer courtyards.
Now Su Yao is standing in front. If they are more ruthless, it won't be a big deal for the Jinyiwei to deal with them all together.
