Crowned with Pearls

Chapter 356: One hundred and fifty-five. Collapse

Views:

The wind was howling, and the lightning outside seemed to be right in front of them. Everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes and subconsciously reached out to block it.

Amid the rumbling thunder, Master Su San and Luo Yong looked in the direction where Li Rui's finger pointed, and saw a pale young man in the room illuminated by lightning, falling stiffly from a stool to the ground with a muffled thud.

Luo Yong had heard Li Rui's words clearly, and looked over there in shock, then looked at Master Su San and whispered, "Who is..."

Everyone had heard about what the third young master of the Su family had done in the capital before, so even Luo Yong knew that the third young master should be from the third branch.

Doesn't that mean that the second master of the Su family and the third young master of the Su family appeared here for some reason, and then they were both killed

This is really... ...unheard of... ...

Wang Tuiguan also frowned. He had seen Su An before. He sighed and said to Master Su San: "Master San, please accept my condolences. Now we can only investigate the case and find the murderer to comfort the dead soul..."

Master Su San uttered a whimper, like the roar of a wild beast. He coughed violently several times and made retching movements. Then, without waiting for Wang Tuiguan and Luo Yong to continue comforting him, he shook them off and rushed into the room. He knelt beside Su An and trembled several times. He did not dare to touch Su An with his hands.

He burst into tears.

There is nothing more painful in the world than seeing the young die before the old. Luo Yong couldn't help but shake his head with pity, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, thinking that the Su family was really too miserable.

Wang Tuiguan followed in with the coroner, and his tone was also very low: "Third Master, I am very sorry for your loss..."

The wind and rain outside were getting stronger and stronger. The wind was hitting the windows, as if it was going to blow them down. The coroner squatted down and took out his tools skillfully. After working for a while, he touched the back of Su An's head. When he took out his hand, his hand was covered in blood under the light.

"He was killed by being hit on the back of the head with a blunt object." He glanced at the room, frowned, and said respectfully to Wang Tuiguan: "Sir, this is a big case."

Such major cases may have to be handled by the Dali Temple.

Wang Tuiguan understood what he meant and patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, Old Huang, you should examine it carefully first, and we can talk about the rest later."

As he spoke, Wang Tuiguan agreed and continued to work.

Tuiguan Wang and Luo Yong pulled Master Su San up, and stood on his left and right to talk to him.

Master Su San looked dazed and pale, obviously frightened out of his wits. He could not utter a word, and his face was stiff, as if he was in a trance.

Luo Yong and Wang Tuiguan could both understand. After all, when something like this happened, even the strongest person would collapse. It was still considered decent for Master Su San to be in such a state now.

There were rumbling thunders in the sky and the house was dead silent.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside. A huge noise suddenly came from across countless streets. It seemed like the sound of something collapsing, and even the house seemed to shake.

Luo Yong was a military general and had always been very vigilant. He stood up immediately and rushed out of the house, stood in the corridor and looked outside.

But he could only see lightning that illuminated half the sky.

Tonight is really not peaceful, he thought secretly in his heart. When he saw his men rushing in from outside, his eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "Lao Qin!"

Qin Liang agreed and quickly ran to the corridor, shook off the rain, wiped his face and called out "Sir".

Luo Yong hurriedly stopped him from saluting and anxiously asked him what was going on outside.

Qin Liang's face turned pale, and he shook his head. He couldn't help but lower his voice. He looked at Luo Yong mysteriously and said solemnly: "Sir, something happened. The bell tower collapsed!"

What?!

Luo Yong could not help but exclaimed, which attracted the attention of Wang Tuiguan inside. Seeing that they both looked strange, Wang Tuiguan followed them out and asked what was going on.

There was nothing to hide, so Luo Yong could only tell the story again.

Now even Wang Tui Guan’s expression became extremely ugly.

The bell tower that people talk about usually only refers to one bell tower - the one on Jingshan Mountain opposite the Imperial Palace. That bell tower has a great history and was built after the current emperor seized the throne.

But it is very strange that the emperor built this bell tower originally to give the deposed emperor a place to stay, but in fact, accidents occurred repeatedly during the construction of the bell tower.

At first there was a landslide, and several laborers died.

No one took it seriously, after all, such things were normal. But later, after they had finally laid the foundation, something unexpected happened again. A child somehow fell in and died inside.

This incident caused panic among the people. Many people said that it was because the current emperor's position was not obtained in a legitimate way, so God could not stand it and sent down punishment.

Because of this incident, the Jinyiwei arrested countless people, caused countless deaths, and caused a lot of trouble.

Later, the bell tower was finally built.

But in order to show that he did not believe in evil, Emperor Yuanfeng refused to use it to house the deposed emperor. He built a tall bell tower and used it when he went to Jingshan to escape the summer heat every year.

Nothing has happened in the bell tower over the years, and everyone is almost forgetting the past.

But who would have known that at this moment, such a thing would happen again.

Lightning struck the bell tower and it collapsed...

Just with this association, Wang Tuiguan and Luo Yong looked at each other and both felt their whole bodies tremble, and the blood in their bodies froze.

After this incident, we don’t know how many people will be implicated and die in this incident. Everyone feels very upset, and the atmosphere becomes even colder for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other in silence.

Master Su San inside didn't react at all when he heard this, as if he had collapsed.

But in fact, Master Su San blinked his eyes, and a storm was already rising in his heart.

It was just as the mother told Yaoyao, this matter was not that simple. It was a long-planned conspiracy against the Su family.

If they had not been discovered, then after the bell tower collapsed, Master Su Er and Su An would have gone to beat the drum at dawn to protest their injustice, and then put all the blame for collusion with the Japanese on the eldest brother and the Su family.

He slowly closed his eyes.

The coroner next to him looked at him and thought that he was too sad. He could not help but shook his head, thinking pitifully in his heart that things in this world are really unpredictable.
