Chapter 148: Silencing the Witness
Su Yan's eyes were sinister as he approached Liu Yue step by step.
"Very good, the dogs around Xiao Fuguang are all as mean as her, but I want to see if your bones are as strong as your master's."
"Come here, serve her well for me."
Facing the executioner, Liu Yue showed no fear at all.
"Master Su, if I die, you will never see Zhuang Linan again."
After hearing this, Su Yan looked at her suddenly.
"Are you threatening this officer?"
Liu Yue spoke with a smile.
"I dare not. I am just kindly reminding Lord Su."
"Alas, that woman Zhuang Linan is so easy to deceive. The princess just gave her a spell to drink, and she believed the princess."
After hearing this, Su Yan rushed over and grabbed Liu Yue's neck.
"Bitch, you're looking for death."
Liu Yue's face turned red from being pinched, and he squeezed out a few words with difficulty.
"Then kill me. Don't worry, if I die, the princess will send Zhuang Linan to accompany me. That way... I won't be lonely on the road to the underworld."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan gritted his teeth and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out.
“Bitch…”
Finally, he let go of his hand and slapped Liu Yue in the face.
The flowing moon was breathing heavily.
“Cough cough cough…”
Looking at Su Yan's furious expression.
Liu Yue laughed and spoke.
"Hahahaha, Su Yan, I think the princess would be very happy if she saw you like this."
Su Yan looked at Liu Yue angrily. If looks could kill, Liu Yue would have died thousands of times by now.
"Do you think this matter is over?"
"Don't worry, Xiao Fuguang will be here soon. If she dies by then, I'll have my own way to find Li Nan."
Liu Yue laughed when he heard this.
"Su Yan, oh no, maybe I should call you Gu Chuan. You and your sister-in-law really have a deep love for each other."
Gu Chuan stared at Liu Yue for a long time.
"Someone, come and beat him up, don't kill him."
Liu Yue's eyes turned cold.
"Don't you care about Zhuang Linan's life or death?"
Su Yan looked at her and spoke coldly.
"Even if I don't do anything to you, Xiao Fuguang won't let Li Nan have an easy time, so just bear with it."
"Don't worry, the jailers who carry out the execution here are all experienced. They will make you suffer but will not kill you."
The jailer held a whip in his hand and hit Liu Yue.
That night, in a courtyard in the west of the city.
The family hung a white sail and the yard was filled with crying. Because the deceased died outside and could not enter the house, the coffin was placed in the yard.
Liu Dazhuang supported the crying old woman.
"Mom, Dad is gone. Don't cry and hurt yourself. We still need you, Mom."
Liu Dazhuang's wife Fang He also spoke to comfort him.
"Yes, mother, please don't hurt yourself by crying."
Because it was already late at night, the neighbors who came to help had already gone back, leaving only Zhu Zhi, the man who had brought the deceased back with them.
Liu Dazhuang looked at Zhu Zhi with gratitude and spoke.
"Mr. Zhu, thank you so much for today. My father's funeral has been prepared, so I won't waste your time. Mr. Zhu, how about you take a rest at my house? Or..."
They are trying to drive me away, but I definitely can't leave because I still have a mission to complete. Zhu Zhi looked at the night and spoke.
"It's so late, I can't rush on my way, but you don't need to rest. I live in East City, and it's fate that we met. I'll keep watch with you all night, and then I'll go home when it gets light. I have an old mother waiting for me at home, so I can't stay here forever."
Liu Dazhuang nodded gratefully after hearing this.
"Thank you very much..."
Suddenly, two men in the dark came over the wall, holding shining swords in their hands, and slashed directly at Liu Dazhuang.
Zhu Zhi pushed Liu Dazhuang away and kicked the man in black.
"Hide behind me."
Fang He supported the old woman, her hands shaking with nervousness.
"Mother, be careful."
Liu Dazhuang shouted loudly.
"Who are you? How dare you kill people!"
The man in black said nothing, but his attack became more and more fierce. It was obvious that he was well-trained and intended to end the battle quickly.
Zhu Zhi had some difficulty dealing with the man in the dark.
"Liu Dazhuang, who did your family offend?"
"These two look like killers."
Liu Dazhuang also tried his best to protect his mother and wife.
"I...we haven't offended anyone. We are just ordinary people."
Suddenly Zhu Zhi narrowly avoided a knife attack.
Another man in black looked at Liu Dazhuang with a knife. Because he was trying to protect his mother and wife, Liu Dazhuang couldn't dodge in time and his arm was cut.
Just as the next knife was about to fall on him, a sharp sword flew over and knocked the knife out of the gangster's hand.
I saw Xuanyuan Jing and Xiao Fuguang walking slowly towards me.
The yard was surrounded by Jiang Yuan and his men.
Xuanyuan Jing gave the order in a cold voice.
"Catch him."
The two Night People saw this.
There's no escape.
They looked at each other and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan stepped forward to check.
"Your Majesty, Princess, these two people took poison in their mouths and committed suicide."
Liu Dazhuang's family hugged each other in fear.
Xiao Fuguang slowly walked towards the few people.
"It seems that the people behind you have crossed the river and destroyed the bridge."
They were all ordinary people and it was difficult for them to meet a high-ranking official on a normal day, let alone meet the Regent and the Princess all of a sudden.
Liu Dazhuang spoke in a trembling voice.
"I don't understand what the prince and princess are saying."
Xiao Fuguang paced slowly.
"Don't you understand?"
"Liu Dazhuang, your father died two days ago, right?"
"Right after he died, someone approached you again, saying they could make you a large sum of money. You'd suffered too much, and when you discovered you could earn money from your father's remains, you agreed without hesitation."
"Then, through some unknown method, they actually enabled your father to move. Your mother then accompanied him to a restaurant and specifically ordered a dish of stir-fried pork and celery. After your father got into trouble in the restaurant, your mother used this as an excuse to make a big deal out of it. Finally, after you secretly watched the soldiers and the owner of Yunke Ferry leave, you came out and carried your father's body back."
"Is what this princess said correct?"
Liu Dazhuang felt guilty and didn't dare to look Xiao Fuguang in the eye.
"I...I don't understand what you are saying."
Xiao Fuguang smiled when he heard this.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. We'll leave now."
"These two are here today with the intention of killing your entire family. If they fail, there will soon be a second and third wave of people coming to kill you."
