Chapter 86: Acting on the Righteousness in One’s Heart
"Little liar." Mo Jin cursed softly.
Su Luo didn't hear clearly what he was saying. Wen Zixi said, "Xiao Qi, let's go."
Mo Jin walked past the two of them and performed the autopsy himself wearing white gloves. Qin Zhengyu followed beside him and also brought a private coroner to check.
Su Luo wasn't sure what he was going to do. She always felt that Mo Jin seemed to have some connection with the General's Mansion. Until now, Su Luo still hadn't figured out the real purpose of his borrowing the book last time.
For example, this time, she just found out that her fourth brother had killed these three Yan people, and Mo Jin came to perform an autopsy? She didn't believe it was such a coincidence.
Mo Jin looked up at Su Luo with a look that could see through people's hearts, and saw the distrust and wariness in her eyes.
Don't trust her?
Be wary of him?
Mo Jin sneered. Wen Zixi even called Xiao Qi. The relationship between these two is really good.
As she was about to step out of the prison door, Su Luo turned back and looked at Mo Jin anxiously.
Mo Jin curled the corners of his lips in sarcasm, and when he was almost done checking, he threw away the white gloves.
When they went out, they happened to see Wen Zixi standing by the car rolling up the curtains for Su Luo.
When Su Luo bent over and sat in the carriage, Wen Zixi protected her so that her head would not hit the roof.
"Tsk" Mo Jin sneered.
In the carriage, Su Luo frowned and asked, "Why did the Regent come to perform the autopsy? Does he know something?"
Wen Zixi frowned slightly and shook his head thoughtfully.
After a long moment, he said, "The Regent is cunning and unpredictable. I don't know how many forces are involved in this case. Xiaoqi, you must be careful."
"Master, you are the same." Su Luo said guiltily, "Master, you took the initiative to investigate the case for my father and brother. It is a great kindness. Xiao Qi will never forget it."
In fact, Su Luo really wanted to ask: "Master, why did you help the Su family?"
Wen Zixi sat upright in the carriage, his sleeves slightly gathered, his eyes clear and bright, a smile curled up his frown: "Someone is doing this for the sake of righteousness."
…
In the palace carriage that passed by them.
Mo Jin quickly picked up a cup of tea in annoyance, blew off the foam on it, took a sip, burned his throat, and swallowed it with unbearable pain.
Qin Zhengyu pushed Chen Song with great insight.
Chen Song said cautiously, "From the madam's confession, I learned that the Yihong Courtyard and the silver shop incident were indeed connected to the Marquis' Mansion. If we dig deeper, we'll lose the clue."
"In your opinion, should we punish Marquis Jing'an..."
Mo Jin slammed the teacup onto the table with a clang, and the boiling hot tea splashed everywhere, emitting steam.
"I want to keep Marquis Jing'an as bait to catch a big fish." Mo Jin seemed to have thought of something, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Chen Song continued, "Miss Su and Master Wen performed the autopsy before us tonight. Could it be that they are also investigating this case? Miss Su has her reasons, but what does it mean for Master Wen to get involved?"
Qin Zhengyu interrupted, "Taifu Wen is a stubborn person. He cannot tolerate injustice and cannot stand for injustice."
…
The incident with Li Ziyan had just happened, and Zhou Yan hadn't come to the Su Mansion to pick up Su Luo for several days.
Su Luo was just enjoying the peace and quiet. She had time to work on her business, to develop the weapons that Mo Jin wanted to make, and even more time to sort out the case of her father and brother.
But she couldn't understand, if her fourth brother was still alive, why didn't he return to the Su Mansion?
Could it be that Fourth Brother is being hunted by an assassin and is afraid of implicating the Su family?
Or does Fourth Brother have his own reasons?
In the eyes of the world, Fourth Brother had died in battle and was even suspected of treason, so Su Luo could not openly post a portrait to look for Su Xian.
We can only wait for Fourth Brother to show up.
But if Fourth Brother doesn't show up, is she just going to have to wait in vain?
Su Luo got up and walked into the study, taking out a scroll from the locked treasure chest.
Pave the way for that colorful painting.
Three years ago, my father invited the best painter to draw a family portrait to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday.
In the painting, the grandfather sits in the front, the mother smiles and holds the father's arm, and six brothers surround Su Luo on both sides.
The six brothers were all young, promising, and extraordinarily handsome. Each had his own achievements and had charmed many girls in Beijing.
Su Luo's fingertips gently brushed across every person in the painting, feeling indescribable regret.
Three years ago, she was growing up and had a double-ring velvet bun. Her fourth brother was handsome and dignified, with a confident and cheerful smile. He pulled her pigtails with eyes full of doting and love.
Her fourth brother is sunny and handsome, and he looks great when he smiles.
Later, she never saw anyone who looked better when he smiled than Fourth Brother.
Others thought that she had not seen her fourth brother for more than a year, but after her rebirth, she had not seen her fourth brother for many years.
"Fourth brother, where are you?" Su Luo raised her head, trying to let the tears that were about to roll down flow back into her eyes, but the tears still burst out and overflowed all over her face, and she couldn't wipe them away.
Suddenly, she felt something was wrong and turned around abruptly.
Looking around, for some reason, she always felt that someone was secretly watching her.
Su Luo drew the long sword from the weapon rack and walked around the study cautiously.
There seemed to be a figure flashing past the door. Su Luo chased out and saw a masked man in a green robe carrying a quiver jumping over the wall and leaving. The quiver was wrapped with rags. The green robe was also the cheapest style, with holes in the hem.
Su Luo chased after him regardless of life or death.
Seeing Su Luo chasing out, the man frowned and fled towards the cemetery in the dense forest behind the mountain.
He guessed that Su Luo wouldn't dare chase into the cemetery, so he breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down his pace, and sighed, "That little girl is quite difficult to deal with."
The next moment——
A sword filled with murderous intent stabbed at him from behind.
The frightened man in green robe dodged sideways and grabbed a dozen fallen leaves and threw them at Su Luo!
Despite this, he still did not shoot the arrow to injure Su Luo.
Su Luo sensed something was wrong, pointed her sword at the man, and asked coldly, "Why don't you fight back?"
The man with his face wrapped in black cloth only had one eye exposed. There was no murderous intent or confidence in his eyes. He just looked at Su Luo calmly. This could not be the look of an assassin.
Su Luo's heart tightened: "Who are you?"
"Next time, don't come to such a dangerous place alone."
After saying that, the man in green robe turned around and left. Su Luo flew over to stop him.
The two men were in a stalemate in the cemetery.
Su Luo pointed her sword at the man's forehead and said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense. Who are you?"
Seeing Su Luo so vigilant, her sword strike was ruthless enough, and even her expression was so fierce, the man somehow breathed a sigh of relief and just said, "You've grown up."
His voice was hoarse, like dry gravel, as if he hadn't eaten or drunk anything in a long time, but the sound quality was indeed somewhat familiar, and the tone...
Su Luo looked at the lonely back of the man as he left, and her long sword fell from her body with a clang.
The man paused.
"Fourth...Fourth brother?" Su Luo murmured.
The man continued walking forward.
Su Luo's voice trembled slightly: "Su Xian."
"I'm not your brother." The man walked further away, "I'm definitely not Su Xian."
Su Luo took off the purse from her waist, which contained a heavy bag of gold and silver bills, and threw it over.
The man who was hit on the back was startled and bent down to pick it up.
"Su Xian, you bastard, use this money to buy some nice clothes! Do you know how hard it is for me to support the Su family alone? You always stop calling me your brother!" Su Luo sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
The man's back shook.
After a long time, he didn't take any gold ingots, put them on the ground, walked away step by step, and disappeared into the forest.
Su Luo's nose was red from crying, and she wiped the tears from her face in a panic.
Not only was she suspicious, but she was also wondering if she had really made a mistake.
