168. He wanted to hurt me(1/2)
The news that Gou Yu, the Minister of Punishment, went to arrest the suspect Su Liang, and turned himself in peacefully, and was taken to the Punishment Ministry, spread quickly in the capital.
Who was the real culprit in Xiao Muyun's death suddenly became confusing.
At first, the most widely circulated rumor was that "Wu Zhuangyuan fell in love with another woman and killed people to silence him". Because of Ning Jing's "forceful joining", it became "Wen Zhuangyuan killed people for love".
Su Liang went from a ruthless person to a beauty and a disaster.
The number one scholar in both civil and military affairs was a well-known story before today, but today his reputation has drastically declined.
Su Liang did not go out to find anyone for help, nor did he go to see the emperor to complain. Instead, he cooked for Ningjing at home.
Just after cooking two of Ningjing's favorite dishes, Su Liang and the others arrived.
He was Duanmu Chen's confidant who followed Chang'an.
"My master asked me to give this to Miss Su." Chang An handed Su Liang some pieces of paper.
It was what Su Liang needed most right now. She took it and said, "Thank you, His Highness the Fourth Prince. Are those really Xiao Muyun's handwritings?"
Chang An nodded, "Master said it was written by Xiao Muyun himself. Looking at the ink, he didn't write it all at once."
Su Liang looked confused. Can it be seen that they were written at different times? In this way, the possibility of forgery is even smaller.
"Xiao Muyun has an entourage who always takes him with him. Where is he?" Su Liang thought of the boy he had met in the restaurant.
Chang An sighed, "I drowned in the lake in the back garden of Xiao Mansion last night."
Su Liang frowned, "What is Xiao Muyun's fatal injury like?"
"A stab wound through the chest." Chang An said, the master originally asked me to tell Miss Su that she must not be arrested and taken to the Criminal Department, as it would be very troublesome. I only learned about Mr. Ning's surrender on the way here."
Su Liang nodded, "Please tell your master that I have remembered all his kindness."
Chang'an said sternly, "Miss Su has been more careful recently. Master said that the emperor feels that there is a secret in Miss Su, so he may not take advantage of this incident to test Miss Su's reaction."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment.
Duanmu Yi doubts her? It’s not surprising if you think about it. A weak woman who has been away from Beijing for more than a year suddenly becomes so strong. It is normal for Duanmu Yi to suspect that she is a spy from an enemy country.
Duanmu Chen asked Chang'an to tell Su Liang about this matter, just to let her know that the royal family would not protect her because of her reputation as a martial arts champion and bringing glory to the country, and she had to solve all troubles by herself.
In short, if Su Liang cannot prove his innocence, he will kill someone to pay for it.
Su Liang thought it was reasonable. She didn't expect the royal family to give her any privileges.
After Chang'an left, Su Liang opened the pieces of paper and found Duanmu Chen's handwriting. He wrote down what Xiao Muyun had read in the Xiao family mourning hall and wrote it again to Su Liang.
Therefore, although it was written by Duanmu Chen, the content is in Xiao Muyun's tone.
The first piece of paper records the experiences of Xiao Muyun and the original owner from their acquaintance to falling in love.
Between the lines, there are affectionate memories.
But the original owner is dead, and its authenticity can no longer be tested. Su Liang frowned when he saw Xiao Muyun writing about several private trysts between him and the original owner, holding hands and hugging each other.
In fact, from Su Liang's point of view, when Xiao Muyun and the original owner met, the original owner had not yet grown up, and Xiao Muyun was already a widower whose wife died.
The original owner was raised in a boudoir, with a simple mind, but a gentle temperament and a very beautiful appearance.
It was hard for Su Liang not to suspect that Xiao Muyun was motivated by sex. If she had to use her own opinion to evaluate this matter, it was an old man seducing an underage girl.
It was true that the original owner liked Xiao Muyun, and he really gave him a fan pendant and other tokens, but the "holding hands and hugging" thing still made Su Liang suspicious.
So bold?
Even if the original owner was from a humble background and didn't understand the rules, Xiao Muyun, as the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a well-educated family and a self-proclaimed talent, wouldn't he understand that these behaviors were out of bounds? He didn't know that if someone discovered him, he would be fine, but the original owner would be there for the rest of his life.
Is it ruined?
The paper was full of romance, and Su Liang didn't see any of the basic moral values and sense of responsibility in life.
After just reading the first page, she felt uncomfortable.
On the second page, Xiao Muyun wrote that he thought the original owner was dead. Until he saw Su Liang again, he lived like a zombie. He was in pain when he was awake and missed him in his dreams. He was completely unable to accept the marriage arranged for him by his family and tried every means.
Make excuses to shirk them all.
Su Liang frowned. They "met" for the first time in a restaurant that day. It was an accidental encounter. Xiao Muyun had nothing to do and went out to drink alone. He was dressed exquisitely and looked good.
What misunderstanding does he have about the term "The Walking Dead"?
Up to this moment, Su Liang only thought that Xiao Muyun was really obsessed with the original owner and felt unwilling after seeing her, so the words he wrote were exaggerated and moved by himself.
But in the second half of the second page, Xiao Muyun writes about how he poured out his heart that day, and how Su Liang refused indifferently, and even lied about amnesia to escape and deny everything about their past.
If an uninformed outsider reads these words, he will think that Xiao Muyun is the most infatuated person in the world, and Su Liang is the best scumbag...
Su Liang looked at the third page.
Xiao Muyun wrote about his pain throughout the article, saying that he and the original owner had a physical relationship early in the morning, and he had long believed that she was his woman, but now he had to watch Su Liang marry another man.
He really wanted to tell the world about his relationship with Su Liang, but he didn't want to ruin Su Liang's current marriage and bright future.
"You have changed, you have gone very far, but I have been waiting for you in the same place, waiting for you to come back, but I can't wait for you to look back."
"I really want to go to you immediately and tell you everything I want to say. Even if you kill me, I will have no regrets."
"When I woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, I had an urge to risk my life and never care about anything or anyone again."
"Without you, what's the point of my life?"
…
When Su Liang saw the end, a chill spread in his eyes.
She doesn't think everything Xiao Muyun writes is false.
But the deep affection and pain expressed in the words on these pieces of paper did not match the Xiao Muyun that Su Liang knew!
Xiao Muyun did want to renew their relationship several times after seeing Su Liang return to Beijing, but all Su Liang felt was a man's desire to possess a beautiful woman.
Su Liang didn't see the "lovely waiting" written by Xiao Muyun on the paper.
He grew up in a large family, and as a concubine, he was obviously a very shrewd and sophisticated man.
If he was so unrepentant, why didn't he investigate the cause of death of the Su family? He didn't even dare to take a look at the body of the original owner!
If he was really in pain as written on the paper, even if he didn't die for his love, he would still be emaciated and haggard, right?
I thought that during the time when the original owner died, Xiao Muyun lived a very comfortable life, because he was born into a noble family, and even if he didn't have much talent, let alone ambition, he could still live a carefree life.
After discovering that Su Liang was alive but unwilling to be with him, he suddenly felt that he couldn't live anymore?
So how did he survive for more than a year when he thought the original owner was gone?
What he calls infatuation is that it doesn't matter if you die, but if you don't stay with me while you are alive, then I might as well just die?
In this regard, Su Liang felt nothing but deep contradiction and weirdness.
If Xiao Muyun appeared in front of Su Liang at this moment, she would definitely ask, "Are you crazy?!"
However, an outsider who doesn't know Su Liang, Xiao Muyun, or what really happened between them would believe what Xiao Muyun wrote before his death, rather than what Su Liang said.
Therefore, although these pieces of paper cannot prove that Su Liang killed Xiao Muyun, they are full of Su Liang's "motive" for killing Xiao Muyun - to erase her disgraceful past.
With Xiao Muyun's death, it is difficult to falsify what he wrote.
Su Liang read the four pieces of paper again. The more he read, the more he felt that this matter was weird from beginning to end.
If it was true that Xiao Muyun wrote these things independently when he was sober, what on earth did he want to do? Did he really want to jump out and accuse Su Liang of having an affair with him? Or was he unable to survive and planned to commit suicide?
Su Liang thought the latter was impossible.
If it's the former, then why did he die?
Did someone secretly discover that Xiao Muyun wanted to harm Su Liang and help her get rid of the obstacles?
Even more impossible. Otherwise, why use weapons similar to hers?
If the weapons were changed, no one would dare to say that this murder case was related to Su Liang!
It was because of the combination of Su Liang's weapons and what Xiao Muyun wrote in his own hand that Su Liang became the biggest suspect.
There is no doubt that the real culprit wanted to frame Su Liang.
Those pieces of paper couldn't have been Xiao Muyun's bad mood and he just casually wrote down emotional things that touched him. It's not that strange for one person to exaggerate his emotions and make up some things in his head, but what he wrote was too fake, and
The tendency between the lines is too obvious.
"I must find you, even if you want to kill me, I want the world to know that you are my woman." This is equivalent to saying, "If I die, Su Liang will kill me."
At this moment, Su Liang even had a feeling that the real murderer and Xiao Muyun had teamed up to frame her!
But there was no way Xiao Muyun would risk his own life to harm her.
The relationship between them is far from the level of such deep hatred that life and death would lead to. Xiao Muyun gave Su Liang the impression that he was greedy for comfort and timid.
There are many contradictions.
The weirder it gets, the more Su Liang feels that the truth cannot be inferred using common sense.
Assuming that her idea is true, Xiao Muyun became angry after being rejected and tried to harm her. He first wrote a directional text such as "Su Liang may kill him". When something happens to him, Su Liang will be the biggest suspect. This kind of
Under the circumstances, he was seriously injured at most.
