Yang Niannian and Xiao Zhan were very lucky.
At first, they thought... if they couldn't find Li Lei's other two partners, finding a few people who witnessed what happened would be fine too!
As a result, they easily found Li Lei's two partners.
The main reason is that Li Lei and his friends are known for their idleness and loafing around in the neighborhood, and everyone knows about their daily behavior.
These four were just street urchins. When they had money, they would go drinking and gambling; when they didn't, they would wander the streets and flirt with other people's wives.
After making some inquiries, Yang Niannian and Xiao Zhan caught the two men—Shi Tao and Lü Xiao—at the restaurant.
Before being caught...
Shi Tao and Lü Xiao sat facing each other, drinking in silence, without touching the dishes on the table.
Their complexions were not good, their expressions were stiff, and even after a few drinks, they still couldn't suppress their fear.
However, that person said it was none of their business, and that as long as they acted as usual, they could escape unscathed...
So after picking up the silver that the man had dropped, Shi Tao and Lü Xiao discussed that they would gamble early the next morning and then go to a restaurant to drink.
The two men, filled with dread, gambled absentmindedly, yet ended up winning over ten taels of silver.
But he wasn't happy. He took the silver to a restaurant and drank several cups of wine, trying to numb his fear with alcohol!
Before the fear in my heart had subsided, I saw Yang Niannian arrive with Xiao Zhan.
At Xiao Zhan's command, several guards subdued Shi Tao and Lü Xiao.
Then he brought him back to the Xiao Prince's Mansion. At this time, Xiao Yu was confronting Liu Quan. Liu Quan insisted that Xiao Yu was the ferocious beast and that he had nothing to do with the matter.
"You are the murderer!"
Yang Niannian glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes and shouted, "Murderer, you still want to frame Brother Xiao Yu?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Yang Niannian.
Liu Quan was the same. As he looked at Yang Niannian, he also saw Shi Tao and Lü Xiao behind her, and his face turned deathly pale.
"Shi Tao? Lü Xiao?"
The Li couple and the Zhang couple were also surprised.
As the son's close friends, they naturally knew these two people; not just knew them, but were quite familiar with them.
Upon seeing the two arrive, Liu Quan's expression changed. The Li couple and the Zhang couple felt a chill in their hearts. They exchanged glances and vaguely guessed the conspiracy.
“Brother Xiao Yu, these two people witnessed someone killing Li Lei and Zhang Xin.”
Yang Niannian walked up to Xiao Yu and said.
She had been traveling for a while, and her breathing was a little rapid. There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her pretty face was flushed.
But the girl was very happy because she and Xiao Zhan had found a witness who could prove that this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Yu.
"Tell me about it."
Xiao Yu's gaze fell on Shi Tao and Lü Xiao. These two were the two street thugs who had escaped yesterday, and they were also Li Lei's partners.
All around, everyone's eyes turned to the two of them with curiosity.
"I'll talk...I'll talk!"
Shi Tao swallowed nervously, his voice trembling slightly, and said, "I... I didn't want Li Lei and Zhang Xin to die in vain either. We're friends! Yesterday, after he beat Li Lei and Zhang Xin up, he came to us and scolded us for running away, for being disloyal..."
The "he" here refers to Xiao Yu. When he spoke, Shi Tao pointed at Xiao Yu.
"We both felt guilty, so we agreed to pay for Li Lei and Zhang Xin to have drinks. Only then did Li Lei and Zhang Xin stop being angry... At that time, we only scraped together a dozen or so copper coins, drank a pot of wine, and then parted ways."
"Not long after the crowd dispersed, I heard Li Lei scream. I ran over and saw three people hitting Li Lei with wooden sticks, and one of them was him!"
At this point, Shi Tao pointed at Liu Quan and said loudly, "He's the one who killed Li Lei, and after killing Li Lei, he killed Zhang Xin."
As he spoke, Shi Tao's eyes were filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Li Lei and Zhang Xin, they had no grudge against you, yet you heartlessly killed them!!"
"Yes, yes... he's the one who led the men to kill Li Lei and Zhang Xin."
Lu Xiao also spoke up. He was much more timid than Shi Tao. His voice trembled violently as he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at Liu Quan.
"joke!"
Liu Quan's face was grim, but he still tried to remain calm and sneered, "If I were to kill someone and you two saw it, why would I spare your lives?"
"Because you're trying to frame him!"
Shi Tao pointed at Xiao Yu and said, "You must have a grudge against him, so you framed him! After you killed Li Lei and Zhang Xin, you gave me a silver ingot to shut me up, or you would have killed me too... But I know that you will still take revenge on me afterward!"
"He gave me money too..."
Lu Xiao also took out a silver ingot and said weakly.
These two silver ingots were quite large; ordinary people would only have some loose silver, let alone street urchins like Shi Tao and Lü Xiao.
Therefore, the moment the silver was taken out, everyone believed what the two of them had said.
"These two are quite clever."
Xiao Yu glanced at Shi Tao and Lü Xiao, and thought to himself, "Because I didn't hit these two, if Shi Tao and Lü Xiao were also dead, this matter would have nothing to do with me. That's the main reason why Liu Quan didn't kill them!"
Yesterday, when Xiao Yu beat up Li Lei, those two cowards were so scared that they ran away... This shows that they are not loyal people.
The reason they dared to accuse Liu Quan of being the murderer today is only one: these two street thugs realized that once Liu Quan dealt with me, he would kill them to silence them!
In order to save themselves, Shi Tao and Lü Xiao told Yang Niannian what had happened as soon as they were found.
"It really was you! It really was you who killed my son!"
Upon hearing this, the Li couple and the Zhang couple also became agitated.
They also took out a silver ingot and shouted angrily, "You lied to us! You said Xiao Yu was a bully, and that you were doing a good deed and only helped us out of pity! We never expected that you were the murderer! Give me back my son's life! Give me back my son's life!"
"Give me back my son!"
"I'm going to kill you..."
The Li couple and the Zhang couple roared and pounced on Liu Quan.
Several people started fighting.
At this moment, the truth of the matter has been uncovered, and the onlookers are all cursing Liu Quan for how ruthless he is.
"Make them stop!"
At Xiao Yu's command, several soldiers pulled the Li couple and the Zhang couple apart.
Liu Quan's face was covered in scratches and blood, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were torn; he looked extremely disheveled.
"I have questions for you. If you want to live, tell me the truth!"
Xiao Yu stared at him and said in a cold tone.
