Crowned with Pearls

Chapter 157: One hundred and fifty-six. How

Views:

The Embroidered Spring Knife shone brightly with a cold light. Master Su San could see his own pale face from it, and his calves began to tremble. He wanted to yell to Su Yao to move aside, but the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he could not open his mouth. He could only watch as the other two Jinyiwei drew their knives in unison.

For a moment, the third master felt that the end was near.

Instead, Su Rong called out "Sir" and pushed his wheelchair forward desperately, trying to block Su Yao: "She is just a girl, she doesn't know much, please don't bother with her."

"Girl..." Lai Weiqi sighed and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked Su Yao up and down in a frivolous way and smiled with a hint of amusement: "I have never seen a girl who dared to stop the Jinyiwei. Your girl is really interesting."

Su Rong suddenly became a little annoyed.

This is why everyone avoids the Jinyiwei and is afraid to talk about them. They rely on the emperor's favor and are so lawless!

Compared to Master Su San's fear and Su Rong's anger, Su Yao was much calmer.

She suppressed her inner anxiety, raised her head to meet Lai Weiqi's gaze, and smiled back generously: "Master Lai, this is not my sister's room. My sister is over there."

She pointed to the main room and said softly, "My sister is still in a coma. I'm afraid your trip was in vain."

The yard was dead silent. Lai Weiqi looked through Su Yao to the room behind her and said, "Since Miss Su is related to this case, the Su family must also be investigated. It's not impossible for me to check other rooms first."

"I advise Lord Lai not to do that." Su Yao tried to ignore the fierce looks of the Jinyiwei guards around him and the embroidered spring sword not far from his neck, and said softly: "Lord Lai also said that now only the Guo family members said that Guo Chongxing went to the Wen family to see my sister, but whether it is true or not, I guess it has not been determined yet? In this case, I wonder if Lord Lai has the emperor's order to search the mansion?"

Lai Weiqi finally looked Su Yao in the face. He looked at Su Yao coldly, and the last faint smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a stern scrutiny: "What? Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Almost at the same time as these words came out, Lai Weiqi drew his embroidered spring sword from its sheath and placed it against Su Yao's neck without any gap.

Master Su San's eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.

Even Su Rong cried out: "Master Lai! This is not a prisoner, you can't..."

"What can't I do?" Lai Weiqi turned her head and stared at him coldly, her eyes as cold and ruthless as a venomous snake: "When the Jinyiwei investigates a case, when do they need to give an explanation to others! I insisted on entering this room today, but she repeatedly blocked my way. How do you know she is not Guo Chongxing's accomplice!"

With such a accusation against him, Lai Weiqi is going to kill Su Yao!

Master Su San's eyes went dark and he really fainted.

Su Yao finally confirmed his guess.

Lai Weiqi must be related to the Cheng family. He came here this time, obviously knowing that the Su family would be able to find something and be convicted.

That was why he was so unscrupulous. Even though he knew that Mrs. He had just entered the palace for the court today, and even though he knew that the Su family still had an old lady who was highly respected and admired by the emperor, he was not afraid at all.

That's because he knew that the Su family was completely finished.

She couldn't help but clench her fists.

If that was the case, then even if she saved Su Xingyi and hid the bloody clothes, it would be of no avail.

Now that she’s in the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, how long can Su Xingyi hold on

When the time came and Su Xingyi could not bear the punishment and died, and with the blood-stained clothes as evidence, Lai Weiqi could naturally make up whatever story he wanted.

Seeing that Su Yao seemed to have nothing to say, Lai Weiqi raised the corners of his mouth in triumph, and then suddenly increased the strength in his hand, and asked with a gloomy face: "Miss Su Si, are you an accomplice of Guo Chongxing?"

Su Rong immediately broke into a sweat for Su Yao. Of course, he could see what Su Yao could see. Lai Weiqi came with such a fierce momentum that it was obvious that he was sure that the Su family would gain something.

It is precisely because of this that Lai Weiqi is now clearly unscrupulous.

If he really did something to Su Yao and found something, the Su family would have to suffer the loss and wouldn't be able to do anything.

Su Yao could also hear her own heart beating like a drum, but she had no way out in this situation. She racked her brains to think of a solution. Suddenly, an idea came to her. She raised her head abruptly and felt a sudden pain in her neck.

But before she could utter those fatal words, there was a bang outside.

Everyone was startled by the loud noise and subconsciously looked outside. Even Lai Weiqi frowned - the Jinyiwei were on duty, who in the Su family was so bold as to make such a big noise

But the next moment he heard a familiar voice: "Commander Lai, what kind of job are you doing? A weak girl who can't even lift a chicken, you said she is an accomplice of Guo Chongxing?"

Lai Weiqi's eyes suddenly darkened, but his face remained calm. He turned his head calmly to look at the person who came, and then laughed: "Why, what do you think, Mr. Song?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows again: "Song Chenshi is investigating the black bear case, how come he has time to come here?"

It was common knowledge among almost everyone in the Imperial Guards that Lai Weiqi and Song Heng were not on good terms.

One of them is a talented person from a poor family who has worked his way up from the bottom of society, while the other is a pampered and lawless son of a wealthy family. They seem to be naturally in conflict.

Ever since Song Heng joined the Jinyiwei, they began to confront each other.

Seeing Song Heng coming over, all the Jinyiwei behind Lai Weiqi changed their expressions and followed Lai Weiqi solemnly.

"There is some connection. Isn't this related to Commander Lai? What a coincidence." Song Heng glanced at Su Yao, then smiled calmly at Lai Weiqi, "What a coincidence. Didn't I trace the case of Black Bear back to the Wen family? The Loyal and Brave Marquis has confessed that the Left Guard of the Jinwu Guard, which he was in charge of, was negligent when changing shifts on New Year's Eve. Oh, and they also confessed that Guo Chongxing asked him to do so."

Seeing Lai Weiqi's sudden change of expression, Song Heng took two steps with his hands behind his back: "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Su family has divorced the Wen family. I came here to ask if the eldest daughter of the Su family knows the connection between Guo Chongxing and Wen Shichang."

Lai Weiqi stared at Song Heng without blinking, almost seeing a hole through him.

How could the Wen family admit that they had contact with Guo Chongxing? They didn't even know Guo Chongxing!

But Song Heng said so...

Song Heng is actually helping the Su family?! What is his purpose

The thoughts in Lai Weiqi's mind have changed so much in the blink of an eye.
