Crowned with Pearls

Chapter 358: One hundred and fifty-seven. Skill

Views:

Thinking of the dull look of Master Su San before, Lord Wei was more certain. Seeing that Shao Wenxun still looked suspicious, he simply said directly: "Don't you know about the third master of the Su family? Not to mention me, you must have checked him thoroughly. He is a man with high ambitions. We all know how capable he is. If he really did it, how could he pretend to be so convincing?"

It's not that I look down on Master Su San, it's just that Master Su San's face of running around in the capital for so many years in pursuit of a title has become too deeply rooted in people's minds.

Everyone knew what he was planning.

He has been much quieter in the past two years. Two years ago, he even considered giving his daughter to King Zhuang as a concubine.

How could such a person endure humiliation and kill his own brothers and sons

Come on, it’s more realistic to believe that a sow can climb a tree than to believe this.

After hearing what he said, Shao Wenxun's anger gradually dissipated. He hit his dizzy head with his fist, and his throat was full of fire. After a long while, he said with a gloomy face and suppressed his anger: "If it's not him, then who is it?!"

He knew the two men around Master Su Er. He didn't know how capable they were. It was said that they were famous in the pirate circle back then. In fact, they were also notorious pirates who had been arrested by the imperial court.

Even with such thugs, they still couldn't save Master Su Er and Su An... ..

Shao Wenxun was upset and very angry. He couldn't bear it anymore and punched the table.

Seeing him like that, he was just about to snort. Lord Wei looked away and sighed anxiously, "Where can we find someone now? He killed someone and tried to cover up the traces with a fire... But if it weren't for the fire, our people wouldn't have noticed something was wrong so quickly. Otherwise, wouldn't we be caught off guard tomorrow?"

This is where the problem lies.

The bell tower has collapsed. Everything is ready except for the east wind. However, the person performing on the stage has died. What should we do

Shao Wenxun was upset and cursed Master Su Er in his heart. He and Lord Wei stared at each other, and neither of them could think of any good solution for a while.

It was not until they heard a noise outside and the door was pushed open that they came back to their senses from their thoughts. They looked towards the door and saw Xu Rui, who had lost a lot of weight.

Xu Rui looked pale and thin, but he was in good spirits. After he came in and closed the door, he looked at Shao Wenxun and Lord Wei and asked directly, "What's going on?"

Lord Wei lowered his voice and recounted the incident: "All of a sudden, a fire broke out, and there was a lot of noise. I heard the news and rushed over. At that time, Luo Yong and Shuntian Prefecture had been alerted. I heard that Luo Yong also found a person running away from the crime scene... Now it seems that it was murder, and the person came specifically for Su Mingqing and the others. The target was clear."

Xu Rui clenched his fist and coughed. There was a fishy-sweet taste in his mouth. He blew a whiff and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He commented very intuitively: "Who has the motive to kill Su Er and Su An?"

Lord Wei and Shao Wenxun were speechless for a moment.

If we talk about motivation, then of course the Su family is the most motivated.

But the Su family had no reason to know about the affair between Second Master Su and Su An.

Then we have to think of someone else.

Xu Rui snorted coldly and said slowly: "As you just said, Su Mingqing has two powerful people around him. It is not easy to kill him, but that person did it, and the means were so neat and tidy. Think about it again, how many people know about this plan, what Su Er is going to do, what identity he plays, who knows it?"

When he said this, Lord Wei frowned, and a name was about to come out of his mouth.

Shao Wenxun was even more straightforward. He said coldly, "Lai Weiqi!"

As soon as this name was spoken, the atmosphere in the room became even colder.

After a brief silence, Shao Wenxun said angrily: "Yes! He knows our plan, and considering his skills, he can definitely do it! Lai Weiqi! This bitch!"

After thinking about it, Lai Weiqi is definitely the most likely one to survive.

Shao Wenxun couldn't help but gnashing his teeth.

Lord Wei also looked solemn: "But if it is really Lai Weiqi, then things will be troublesome. He already knows a lot of our secrets, and we have been looking for him everywhere. He actually came to kill Su Mingqing and Su An at this critical moment. What does this mean? This means that he intends to fight us to the death..."

Lai Weiqi was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He helped them do so many bad things and covered up so many of them.

Now they have completely offended this person, and it is impossible to make amends. Under such circumstances...

Shao Wenxun was a little panicked.

He pressed his temple, very angrily: "I said this is a huge hidden danger. Didn't the prince say that he would be caught? Now not only has he not been caught, but he has also caused such a big incident. Su Mingqing is dead, the Su family has been alarmed, and Lai Weiqi is still nowhere to be found. What about our next plan? We have been laying the groundwork for so long, using almost all means and connections to create a trap. Are we going to give up just like that?!"

Not to mention the problem of all the hard work going to waste, how can I report to King Zhuang? !

What a joke.

Xu Rui's eyes were still calm, and he didn't get angry because of his accusation. He said slowly: "Don't be so excited, my lord. Since I pointed out that it was Lai Weiqi as soon as I came here, of course it was because I found his trace."

So, that means they have already discovered Lai Weiqi? !

If that's the case, then I can feel a little more at ease.

Shao Wenxun was a little anxious and immediately asked him: "So, you have found the person?"

That's a bit better. If Lai Weiqi is caught, there's still time to remedy everything.

Lord Wei also turned around and looked at Xu Rui, and breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately said, "It's good that we found the person. We must find him. Once we find him..."

It would be better if we found Lai Weiqi.

And the murderer was Lai Weiqi, so there was no need to worry about the Su family finding out, and the plan could still go ahead.

"Found it." Xu Rui's tone was firm and calm. "He must have wanted to sabotage our plan and take revenge on us, but in doing so, he also exposed himself. He thought that if he killed Su Mingqing, we would be helpless. How naive."

Even without Su Mingqing, he could still bring the Su family to ruin.
