Lai Weiqi was a sinister and vicious person. When he was a Jinyiwei, he was greedy and nothing that had passed through his hands was ever returned intact.
If it wasn't necessary, Xu Rui actually didn't want to offend him.
But Lai Weiqi himself was so unrighteous that he went to provoke the concubine of Prince Fenyang. His affair with Concubine Jiang caused a lot of controversy, putting the Xu family in a very embarrassing situation.
They made that decision out of helplessness.
When killing a snake, you have to hit it at the most vulnerable part. It's a pity that the snake was not killed at that time, which has led to endless troubles now.
He felt his eyes ache, and finally managed to calm down, saying calmly: "What a coincidence, I was just bored and fighting crickets here, why, Master Lai also cares about this?"
Luo Yong is from the Wucheng Bingmasi, the Wucheng Bingmasi... ..
Xu Rui was thinking quickly in his mind about who had a closer relationship with Luo Yong, and how to suppress the matter quietly, when he heard Lai Weiqi sneer.
"Why are you pretending, Master Xu?!" Lai Weiqi snorted coldly, with a righteous look on his face, "Su Mingqing was obviously killed by you! I saw it clearly. In order to overturn my own case, I have been in contact with Su Mingqing and supported Su Mingqing to go to the capital to file a complaint. Who knew that he had just returned and I had no time to take him to find Old Madam Su, and he was killed by you!"
The talk was getting more and more out of context, and Luo Yong's scalp was tightening as he listened. Before he could say anything, he suddenly heard Lai Weiqi yelling "Be careful" again.
At this moment, a curious person standing on the wall shouted: "There's a fire over there! There are so many people over there!"
A gust of wind blew by, and Xu Rui shivered uncontrollably. He finally remembered that Pan Cheng had taken people to kill Lai Weiqi! Then Lai Weiqi was here now... Who did Pan Cheng and his men go to kill? !
He had realized that he had fallen into someone else's trap, but he had no idea how the trap was set, which made him extremely angry.
Luo Yong's gaze had become profound.
Lai Weiqi shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hurry up and save them! Hurry up and save them! Master Su Er's master is in there!"
Master Su Er’s mentor!
Although Luo Yong still didn't understand what they said before, he already knew that what happened today was indeed related to Xu Rui. He blocked Xu Rui's way with an expressionless face, and then waved his hand to his subordinates: "Emergency! If you meet any suspicious people, arrest them. If they disobey, kill them without mercy!"
The people below responded one after another.
People nearby also rushed to put out the fire.
But because it didn't rain any more, the fire raged, turning half of the sky near the Wong Tai Sin Temple red. Later, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture was also alerted and personally led people to put out the fire.
When the sky turned pale, the door of Xu's house was knocked open. Xu Yonghong got up from the bed, got out without stopping, and walked out.
Madam Xu also got up in a hurry and followed Xu Yonghong step by step. She asked solemnly, "Master, A Rui didn't come back all night. Did something happen?"
Xu Yonghong waved his hand to signal Mrs. Xu to stop, and without saying anything more, he hurried out.
Mrs. Xu thought about it and felt frightened. She couldn't believe it, so she packed up and went to the study.
Xu Yonghong was sitting at the head of the table, looking at Cui Cheng below, and asked coldly, "Then the prince was taken away by Luo Yong just like that?"
Take it away
Mrs. Xu barely held onto the door frame, her heart beating uncontrollably.
Cui Cheng was like a bereaved mother, and he said in a dejected and sobbing voice: "Duke... Marquis... I really don't know what happened. We had planned everything well, but Su Mingqing's house caught fire, and Su Mingqing and Su An were both dead. After the prince and Lord Shao discussed it, they planned to kill Lai Weiqi to eliminate future troubles, and search the Su family at the same time. If they found something, they would also put the crime of murder on the Su family. Who knew..."
Mrs. Xu's body trembled, and she walked to Xu Yonghong and held his hand, looking at Cui Cheng with burning eyes: "What do you mean by natural?! As long as there is a little change, it means that something may have gone wrong. How dare you be so bold!"
When we knew that Su Mingqing and Su An were dead, we should have temporarily suspended the plan and thought of another solution.
It's really too risky.
How can you be sure that Lai Weiqi is the murderer
Xu Yonghong's expression became even calmer. He glanced at Madam Xu and continued to ask Cui Cheng, "What happens next?"
Cui Cheng was even more frustrated. "Then, Lord Wei took people to search the Su family. I followed the prince to the Wong Tai Sin Temple to look for Lai Weiqi. Who knew that when I got to the door, the house was on fire, and then many people rushed out to arrest people... I was scared, and took advantage of the chaos to sneak out and take the prince away first, only to find that the prince's carriage was no longer in the original place..."
He told Luo Yong about Lai Weiqi and Xu Rui being captured by him, his face pale. "Lai Weiqi has gone crazy. He turned everything upside down, saying that Su Mingqing had discovered that someone was colluding with the Japanese pirates and came to Beijing to complain. He was framed and hunted down by the prince and us because he wanted to support Su Mingqing... He also put the blame for Su Mingqing's death on us..."
This turns things completely upside down.
The killer became the killed.
The one who was originally going to be sued has now become the one making the complaint.
Just this one move... ..
Mrs. Xu finally couldn't help but asked, "What about A Rui?!"
Cui Cheng pursed his lips, swallowed hard, closed his eyes and said, "He has been taken away by Luo Yong..."
Mrs. Xu immediately went to see Xu Yonghong and shouted in a trembling voice: "Master..."
Xu Yonghong himself was also a little restless. Although he had always been good at planning, he was a little distracted when faced with such an incident. After a while, he whispered a few words to comfort Mrs. Xu, and then looked at Cui Chengdao: "How is the Su family doing?"
If something can be found at the Su family's place, there is still room for improvement.
He still held out a glimmer of hope, hoping that Lai Weiqi was just desperate and doing something bad on purpose, and that the Su family and Lai Weiqi had set up this trap together and were waiting for them to fall into it.
As if to answer his question, just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, and Master Xu Er ran in sweating profusely: "Brother! Something happened!"
The second master Xu did not even bother to greet Madam Xu, and looked at Xu Yonghong: "Brother, someone is coming from the palace, summoning you to the palace!"
At this time!
Mrs. Xu suddenly turned pale, and Cui Cheng's face was also full of fear.
Xu Yonghong frowned, and after a long while he slowly nodded to Madam Xu: "Prepare clothes for me."
