bastard returns

Chapter 224

Ning Yuan didn't care about Sikong Xu's eyes at all, as if he didn't know the person who was close at hand, he only said to Murong Cheng with a humble and polite attitude: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the person you are looking for is not here now In the posthouse."

"Who are you?" Murong Cheng glanced up and down at Ning Yuan with doubtful eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is Master Ning who accompanied King Xi on a mission." Wan Ming rushed to the side and said to Ning Yuan in doubt: "Master Ning, what do you mean by what you said just now? That Mr. Su It was clearly brought back to the post house by you yourself yesterday, why is it not there now?"

When Wan Ming said this, he was obviously afraid of Ning Yuan's denial, so he announced everything first.

The anger in Si Kongxu's eyes gradually faded away, and changed into an expression of watching the show.

"That Mr. Su left early this morning." Ning Yuan lowered his eyes and said, "He said he has something to do, but if he insists on leaving, I can't stop him."

"Oh?" Wan Ming blinked, "Brother Ning, you're not lying to us, are you? That Mr. Su is someone His Royal Highness is looking for, but the King didn't check for a while, so he let him slip out of the mansion. Going out, the king of the county was very annoyed because of this, he just wanted to find him back quickly, this is also going to the customs without checking, when I saw Mr. Su yesterday, I only thought he looked familiar, but didn't think about his origin, otherwise, how could I Let Brother Ning be busy with this trip, and yesterday I sent him directly back to the Prince's Mansion."

"Brother Wan said so, are you suspecting something?" Ning Yuan showed a half-smile expression on his face, "If you are not here, you are not there, why should I tell such a lie."

"That's not necessarily true." Finally, Sikong Xu, who had been standing aside all the time, said at this moment, "Others don't know, but I know it very well. In the past, when I was in Dazhou, it was a festival for you, Mr. Ning, to be with you." , and Mr. Su is an acquaintance of the following, who knows if Mr. Ning will be angry with Mr. Su because of the festivals with me, and something will happen, and it is inconvenient to release him, so he told such a lie .”

Sikong Xu was full of confidence, he didn't want to just let Ning Yuan get away with it, he didn't care about the taboo for a while, and revealed all the things he had with Ning Yuan in the past.He already knew that Su Che had been poisoned by Ning Yuan and turned into a corpse, and he couldn't wait to see what Murong Cheng's expression would be when he found out that his favorite boy died suddenly.

The development of all this is really smooth, and exactly as he expected, but I feel sorry for that kid Su Che, I am afraid that even if he is dying, he will not know that all this is actually his Sikong Xu's scheme.

First of all, he lied to Su Che that he planned to restore the old relationship with him, and wanted to save him from Murong Cheng's side. It was rare that Su Che, who had been abandoned by him several times, was still as devoted to him as before, and agreed to him without even thinking about it. After Che escaped from the county palace, he arranged for Su Che to meet Ning Yuan by chance, and Wan Ming, who had been colluding for a long time, fanned the flames. Che's Zhou people rescued him and took him back to the post house.

In his eyes, Ning Yuan has always been cunning and vicious, so he will definitely not believe that all this is accidental, and he will definitely think that Su Che is deliberately arranged by him, Sikong Xu, to approach him and plan to frame him. Che threatened and lured him, hoping to find out some conspiracy from him.

It's a pity that Su Che is just a chess piece, so how can there be any conspiracy? At that time, Ning Yuan can't ask what he wants, and under suspicion, he can't keep Su Che by his side indiscriminately. Then There is a great possibility that Su Che will be "disposed" directly.

Of course, even if Ning Yuan didn't do this, he would let the people he planted in the post house secretly make Su Che disappear. At that time, if he invites the king of Jincheng County to come to his door, he won't worry about not being able to take down Ning Yuan's first floor. Skin.

Sikong Xu thought that his scheme was very mysterious and he just waited for Ning Yuan to get into the trap, so when news came last night that Ning Yuan really poisoned Su Che to death and threw his body into the posthouse After the dry well inside, he was really overjoyed.

Now, as long as he exposes Ning Yuan's lies, the other party will have to bear the anger of King Jincheng.

On the boundary of Yanjing, he believed that Sikong Xuan had no right to intervene in this matter, and Ning Yuan, who had always been cunning, this time, even if he could use his tongue to bloom a flower to tease the person who lost the King of Jincheng, with him With his identity, there is no other way to choose except obediently punishing him.

"This is..." Ning Yuan heard Sikong Xu's voice, turned his eyes as if he had just noticed him, paused on his face, and said: "Who am I, it turns out to be the Fourth Highness... Oh, no , Your Majesty has decreed that you will be expelled from the imperial family and demoted to a pariah, and everyone will arrest you. I didn't expect you to come to Yanjing. Although I do have some trivial old grievances with you, there is not a single one. It has something to do with Mr. Su, why should I trouble him?"

Sikong Xu snorted coldly, already seeing that Ning Yuan would never admit it no matter what, he simply stopped talking nonsense with him, and turned to Murong Cheng: "Your Majesty, do you think Mr. Su is here?" In the hall, it is more appropriate to invite the servants in the post house to inquire about it."

Murong Cheng nodded, and immediately sent someone to call out all the servants working in the post house. Anyway, he had soldiers surround the post house from the beginning, so he was not afraid of people running away.

Ning Yuan saw that the soldiers around had received Murong Cheng's order and started to go to the post house to fetch people, but without saying anything, he walked behind Sikong Xuan and stood quietly.

Sikong Xuan also looked expressionless. Looking at this scene, Ning Yuan had already told him not to be surprised about what happened, let alone intervene. Even if he just watched from the sidelines, he would be happy and relaxed.

The servants in the posthouse didn't know what happened, they filed out obediently under the scolding of those soldiers, and stood in two rows in front of everyone, not even daring to lift their heads, but the soldiers who were detained also guarded their taboos. The ones who were brought out were all the original servants in the post house, as for the servants brought by Sikong Xuan and his party from Dazhou, none of them were moved.

Seeing that everyone had come out, Si Kongxu didn't delay, and immediately began to help Murong Cheng inquire about Su Che's whereabouts. As a result, when the call was over, the servants all looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them made a sound. of.

Seeing this, Murong Cheng's face darkened, "You don't even know if there is an extra person in the posthouse!"

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, Mr. Ning in the posthouse did bring a young master back yesterday, but that young master was always arranged by Ning, and we didn't let the servants get involved. As for the whereabouts of the young master, we have no idea. I really don’t know.” The person who spoke was an elderly man who was also the steward of the post house, when the steward opened his mouth, most of the servants nodded in agreement.

"Could it be that no one knows?" Murong Cheng glanced around the crowd, and suddenly his eyes stopped on a servant.

The servant's eyes kept flickering, and his expression was submissive, as if he knew something.

Murong Cheng immediately pointed out, "You, come out!"

When your servant saw Murong Cheng pointing at him, he was startled immediately, and knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the little one doesn't know anything, I didn't see anything, please forgive me, your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The attitude of not having 300 taels of silver here couldn't be more obvious. Before Murong Cheng could speak, Sikong Xu couldn't wait to step forward, and scolded: "You must know something, and you haven't recruited it honestly!"

"I...I..." The servant's expression was very flustered, as if he wanted to say something, but he looked very embarrassed, and Sikong Xu was not polite, "Come here, pull this person down and stick him until he is willing to beat him." Stop talking!"

"No! Don't use torture! The petty one says it! The petty one says everything!" Hearing the word torture, the servant's face turned pale, and he kowtowed and said: "Little man, the villain didn't intend to hide it, It's really too scary, my lord, please forgive me..."

"You don't have to be afraid of anything, it's the truth, what do you know." Sikong Xu asked while the iron was hot: "Do you know the whereabouts of the person His Royal Highness is looking for?"

"I do know that the young master who was brought back by Mr. Ning yesterday is... already..." He timidly glanced in Ning Yuan's direction, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then The son is dead now!"

The surroundings immediately fell silent, Murong Cheng's expression was immediately extremely ugly, Wan Ming's eyes were full of gloating, Sikong Xuan's face was full of surprise, Ning Yuan was still indifferent, and as for Sikong Xu, an extremely concealed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Dead?" He repeated the servant's words in a shocked and uplifting tone, "If you know all the details, tell me quickly, so as not to suffer that flesh and blood."

The servant nodded his head like a rattle, and immediately spoke vividly.

"Last night, the villain originally got up to go to the bathroom, but when he passed by an attic in the backyard, he saw that the light was still on in the building, and it seemed that no one was sleeping. A guest who came back wanted to drop by and ask if the guest wanted some tea for supper, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard a strange sound coming from the room, out of curiosity, he He leaned against the crack of the door and looked in. As a result, he saw that Mr. Ning and two of his men were holding Mr. Su and pouring something into his mouth. After Mr. Su struggled twice, , just lying on the ground motionless."

Speaking of this, the servant's body still trembled, as if he felt terrified even thinking about it now, "The villain was frightened at the time, fearing that people in the house would find out, he immediately ran out of the attic and hid , and then saw Lord Ning and the two attendants leaving the attic one after the other, one of the attendants was still carrying a human-shaped sack on the shoulder, the villain saw that those people did not go all the way, worried, quietly followed After walking behind the entourage carrying the sack, he saw him throw the sack directly into the dry well in the backyard of the post house, and said to himself, saying that since he dared to offend Lord Ning, he deserved to end up like this. Only then did the villain know that Mr. Su was poured with poison in all likelihood, and then in order to destroy the corpse, they put the corpse in a sack and threw it into the well..."
