Chapter 299 This is more interesting than she expected
Su Huaiyuan already had a bad feeling.
But there is still a glimmer of hope.
When he saw Su Dingqin being brought in, he was still shocked.
Yu Shengsheng also looked up. Su Dingqin was completely different from the hot-tempered man he was last night.
He changed his clothes and wore the prison uniform of Zhenqiao Tower. His hair was disheveled, his face was haggard, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. It was only the middle of the night and he had grown stubble, looking a bit disheveled.
The last time he went to Zhenqiao Tower, he was not so embarrassed. He was very confident that time and spoke harshly to her after he came out.
This time, it seemed as if all the energy and spirit had been drained away.
Yu Shengsheng narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him, Su Yanshu and Su Zhiyi.
There must be something interesting going on between these three people.
As soon as Su Dingqin entered the room, everyone in the room except Fu Qingyin and Yu Shengsheng were shocked.
Yu Shengsheng looked at Su Zhiyi - Su Zhiyi was also surprised, but it seemed fake.
She was thinking hard. Last night Su Dingqin kept saying that someone had sent a secret letter, but he couldn't say who it was. Could it be... that it was Su Zhiyi who did it?
If that's the case, she wants to see today whether Su Dingqin can still protect Su Zhiyi as always.
Su Zhiyi clenched his hands in his sleeves, his nails pinching his palms, but even so, he managed to control himself and not lose his composure.
Su Dingqin! This loser was actually caught!
He was caught by Fu Qingyin. What on earth is he doing?
Su Zhiyi wanted to roar out loud and slap Su Dingqin a few times, "Idiot, you can't even do simple things and have caused such a situation."
Su Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and rushed over to slap Su Dingqin in the face.
"Rebellious son, what have you done? Didn't I tell you to train well in the camp? Why did you run out? Are there any bandits outside?"
His last sentence was tantamount to a pointer to Su Dingqin. Su Dingqin could hear it, and of course Fu Qingyin could hear it too.
But he had no choice now, he had to do this in a hurry.
Yu Shengsheng sighed inwardly. Su Huaiyuan had only been home for a short time, but he was already worried about his family. He must be not as comfortable as when he was at the border.
Su Dingqin's face suddenly swelled up, and he knelt down with a plop: "Father, I am innocent. I did it to wipe out the bandits."
Su Huaiyuan said angrily: "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Su Dingqin knelt straight and said, "My son received a secret report and killed a bandit and took the badge. Then he went to the mountain stronghold outside the city. The bandit who robbed the prisoner that day was in the stronghold."
"That's why I led people to suppress the bandits."
Of course, Su Huaiyuan didn't believe that his son was a lord, but he led his troops out of the camp without permission and was caught on the spot. It was Fu Qingyin who caught him, so there was no way he could get away with it.
Who is Fu Qingyin? If there is no solid evidence, he will not come.
Su Huaiyuan sighed heavily: "Rebellious son, such a big thing should have been reported to Jingzhao Prefecture, or you could have told your father directly, how could you make the decision on your own? You will be punished by military law if you lead the troops out of the camp without permission!"
"My son is willing to be punished."
Yu Shengsheng looked at Su Dingqin with great interest. He had been locked up in Zhenqiao Tower for a whole night. He wouldn't be so naive as to think that he could easily clear himself of the charges with just a few words, right?
Su Huaiyuan turned around and bowed deeply to Fu Qingyin: "Commander, my son..."
Fu Qingyin turned his finger slightly, smiling: "General Su, you just said that people like this should be executed."
"I also praise your righteousness. Why, when you saw that the prisoner was a major general, you forgot about righteousness?"
Su Huaiyuan choked: "Commander, if my son is really the Lord, I have nothing to say, but, he is really not..."
Fu Qingyin waved his hand, and Hei Bai walked into the hall and clapped his hands.
Two people walked in side by side from outside. Judging from their clothes, one was a Red Dragon Guard and the other was a yamen runner from Jingzhao Prefecture.
The Red Dragon Guard said, "Commander-in-chief, according to what the suspect said, there are indeed signs of freshly dug soil in that place, but there is only a piece of torn clothing inside, and no body."
Suspect, these two words hurt the Su family.
Su Dingqin was shocked: "Impossible, I clearly injured that person and buried him there, it's absolutely true."
"Is there any witness?" Hei Bai asked.
Su Dingqin's mouth trembled, and he couldn't speak.
Yu Shengsheng sneered secretly. Su Dingqin was arrogant and suspicious. How could he let others know about this? He must have done it himself just for safety reasons and not let anyone catch him.
But now, no one can testify for him.
"Who is there to witness?" Hei Bai repeated in a stern voice.
Su Dingqin replied in a low voice: "No one. I didn't tell anyone at the time in order to prevent the news from leaking out."
After receiving the secret letter, he immediately went there to catch the bandits and took the badge. He did not tell anyone and handled the matter quietly.
He thought that after the task was accomplished and he had made great contributions, there was no need to mention the matter. Who would ask about these details?
But who knew that it would become a hole he dug for himself.
"That's a problem," Hei Bai said sarcastically, "You said someone told you in a secret letter, but you can't produce the letter; you said you killed the gangster, but there's no body. You said everything, but you can't prove it at all."
Hei Bai sneered, and his voice suddenly became harsh: "Su Dingqin, for your father's sake, we didn't touch you. Do you really think that we dare not torture you?"
Su Dingqin was so frightened that sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
"I……"
Just as he was about to speak, Su Yanshu suddenly spoke up: "Commander-in-chief, my brother is either in the mansion or in the military camp. There are traces of him everywhere. How could he run such a stronghold? It is not something that can be accomplished in one day. There must be something hidden behind it.
The bandit leader may have been instructed by someone, or he may have framed me because he disliked my Su family and was angry that my father had military merits, so he maliciously slandered me. "
"Please let the commander take a closer look."
Yu Shengsheng glanced at him. His words were righteous and well-reasoned, and it seemed that they really were the case.
But Su Yanshu is not a person who cares about brotherly love. He may pretend to be so at ordinary times, but when it comes to a life-and-death situation, he will not care about others.
The reason why he jumped out at this time was probably because this matter was also related to him.
Yu Shengsheng recalled that the first person who came to see her when she got to the manor was Su Yanshu. He even asked her to find some help for her and was eager to place some people in the manor. He also wanted to take Su Zhiyi to take a hot spring bath.
When she refused, Su Yanshu became very unhappy.
Then she went to the farm, and the assassination happened that night.
She didn't doubt Su Yanshu before because she thought he was just a scholar. But she forgot that Su Yanshu was a scholar in the General's Mansion and he would never be like an ordinary weak scholar.
Besides, if you want to hire someone to assassinate someone, you don’t need to know martial arts.
Yu Shengsheng's lips curled up and then retracted. Things were more interesting than she expected.
Fu Qingyin caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye and saw that she was smiling like a cunning little fox.
I felt inexplicably happy.
"Second Young Master," Fu Qingyin said calmly, "How did you know that the stronghold was quite large?"
"Have you been there?"
