Chapter 300: There is no shortage of tough talkers in Zhenqu Tower
Yanshu felt a little nervous.
He was the one who hired the murderer, how could he not know?
But he couldn't understand why his elder brother was involved.
He sent secret letters and killed people. What kind of master is he?
The more complicated things become, the easier it is for things to go wrong.
What's more, Su Dingqin is a reckless person with relatively little brains. When he meets someone as cunning as Fu Qingyin, he will definitely be full of loopholes.
It doesn't matter if Su Dingqin has a loophole, but if Fu Qingyin finds out about this and it's endless, then he won't be safe.
Helping Su Dingqin now is helping himself.
As expected, Fu Qingyin was extremely difficult to deal with and he immediately grasped the key to his words.
Su Yanshu lowered his eyes and quickly organized his thoughts: "Of course I haven't been there. I'm just a scholar. I go to poetry clubs and bookstores. I think that I heard that this killer organization is very famous and has been famous for a long time, so it should be quite powerful."
Yu Shengsheng glanced at him, emphasizing that he was a scholar and the places he often visited. She emphasized these things because she felt guilty.
Fu Qingyin's eyes swept across Su Yanshu's face: "Second Young Master is not an ordinary scholar. His talent is well-known in the capital. The anger of a warrior is far less than the strategy of a scholar. Second Young Master, is it true or not?"
Su Yanshu's eyebrows jumped: "I don't know what the commander means by this."
"I forgot to mention that the prisoner we caught that day confessed half of his confession, saying that the man who hired the killer was a scholar. But before he could explain clearly, the man was killed in the street."
"And the person who killed him said that the master behind the scenes was the one who rushed to the mountain stronghold late at night. Isn't it a coincidence that you and the major general are the same person?"
"Scholar, my lord."
Su Yanshu's heart felt like it was struck by lightning, and his legs went limp for a moment: "Commander, I absolutely did not..."
"Let's talk about it later. There are plenty of opportunities," Fu Qingyin waved his sleeves.
Hei Bai took out another piece of paper and held it in front of him: "This is a letter that the lord sent someone to write to the bandit leader. The letter said that the money can be taken, but the person can be killed."
Su Yanshu opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, and at first glance, his gaze shrank instantly.
This handwriting...
Yu Shengsheng didn't see the letter, but she noticed that Su Yanshu's expression changed.
What is that letter?
Was it found from a copycat?
She was confused and frowned slightly in thought.
Fu Qingyin glanced at her and couldn't help laughing in his heart. It seemed that this trick also frightened her.
In fact, those were not letters written by the Lord's men at all. The bandit leader did hand over a few letters written by the Lord himself, but they were from the past and had nothing to do with this incident.
But Fu Qingyin has many subordinates, so it is not difficult for him to imitate handwriting.
After reading the letter, Su Yanshu's heart started beating rapidly. He subconsciously glanced at Su Zhiyi, then looked away.
"Second Master, read carefully. The letter says that when the scholar hired the killer, he wanted Yu Shengsheng's reputation to be completely destroyed."
Su Huaiyuan looked at Yu Shengsheng: "Shengsheng! Have you really been assassinated? No wonder I couldn't sleep that night, so I said it was..."
He was so distressed that he could not continue.
Yu Shengsheng remembered that Su Huaiyuan went to see her early the next morning after the assassination attempt and said that he had dreamed that she was in danger and that he had given her a crossbow.
Su Huaiyuan's anxiety, self-blame, and anger did not seem to be pretended.
"Rebellious son, is that you?" He stepped forward and kicked Su Yanshu.
Su Yanshu couldn't bear it and fell to the ground.
"Father, it's not me. I treat Shengsheng like my own sister. How could I harm her? Why would I harm her? What good would it do me to harm her?"
Su Huaiyuan frowned and said nothing.
Fu Qingyin held his chin with one hand: "Everyone is wronged, everyone says it's not true, it gives me a headache to listen to them."
"General Su, I am here to give you face. I don't want to hurt the feelings of a meritorious official, so I brought people to question you and interrogate you in person. If that's the case, then forget it."
"Come here, take the two young masters back to Zhenqiao Tower."
Su Dingqin and Su Yanshu were both shocked. Take him away just like that?
Su Huaishan was shocked and angry, "This is too much. How can you arrest people without investigating the case? Does Zhenqiaolou disregard the law?"
Fu Qingyin stood up slowly: "If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the palace to see the emperor and let him make the decision."
"you……"
Hei Bai snorted and laughed: "We have to arrest the person before we can investigate. How can we investigate without arresting him? He was able to lead the troops out of the camp last night, and you, General Su, didn't know about it. If the person ran away, I'm afraid you wouldn't know about it either, right?"
Su Huaishan was speechless.
"It's okay, don't worry. There is no shortage of tough talkers in Zhenqiao Tower. They all talk tough before entering, but after entering, you will find that their bones are much softer than their mouths."
Su Dingqin was really scared. He turned to look at Yu Shengsheng and took a few quick steps forward.
"Shengsheng, say something, please help big brother."
Yu Shengsheng looked up at him: "What do you want me to say, Major General? What you said doesn't make sense, how can I say it?"
"Then you're just going to watch me being taken away and not do anything? That's the Zhenqiao Building!"
"I know, I've been there too," Yu Shengsheng smiled, "You forgot that I once stayed there for you."
Su Dingqin choked: "Yes, it was true that time, then can you help me again?"
Yu Shengsheng said nothing.
The Red Dragon Guards stepped forward to arrest him.
"Shengsheng," Su Dingqin said anxiously, "The person in the mountain village last night, were you?"
"It's you, right? You watched me get fooled and arrested, but you didn't say a word! What has the Su family done to you? Ever since I knew you were coming back, I've been looking forward to it!"
"And you treat me like this?"
The Su family was shocked and looked at Yu Shengsheng.
"Shengsheng, you..." Su Huaiyuan's gaze turned to her and Fu Qingyin.
Yu Shengsheng smiled and stood up: "Major General, I stayed in the yard well last night. When did I go to any mountain stronghold, and when did I see you?"
"Don't you know why you went to the village? Even if you were fooled, it wasn't me who asked you to do it."
"As for going back to the Su family," she laughed to herself, "If I had known it would be like this, I would rather not go back."
Su Dingqin's face turned pale: "I know you still hate me. Back then in the enclosure..."
“Major General,” Yu Shengsheng interrupted him, smiling slightly, “Don’t mention the paddock.”
"You don't deserve it."
"How did I beg you at the beginning? You knew I was wronged, but was there anyone who spoke up for me?"
"Now, why?"
Su Dingqin clenched his fists: "So, you hate me?"
"No hatred," Yu Shengsheng said softly.
"Hate also takes effort, and I don't have the extra energy to hate."
Fu Qingyin's eyes were slightly deep, as if there were dark waves surging past.
Su Huaiyuan's eyes turned red: "Shengsheng, it's all my fault. I was not in the mansion when you were in the most difficult time..."
Yu Shengsheng looked at him quietly: "Let's talk about what's happening right now. The person who hired someone to kill me, the mastermind behind the scenes, and the commander will definitely be found out."
"This time, it's different from last time."
Fu Qingyin clenched his fingers slightly and moved his eyes away from Yu Shengsheng's face.
"Su Dingqin, I will give you one last chance."
"Why did you go to the village? Tell the truth."
Su Dingqin's throat rolled slightly. Beside him were the Red Dragon Guards who were eyeing him covetously. Their black robes with red patterns stung his eyes.
He raised his eyes and looked at Su Zhiyi.
