It's night, everything is silent.

A crescent moon stood crookedly in the sky, its light was dim, and there were very few stars. The night wind blew through the woods, and there was a rustling sound, accompanied by a few weak chirping of cicadas.

A figure is getting closer and closer, with distorted posture and slow steps, one step, two steps...

When they got close, the figure finally stopped and stopped by the ancient well. Then it took seven steps to the west and stopped under a strong tree.

Not long after, there was the sound of metal colliding with soil.

After about a cup of tea, the sound gradually stopped, and the figure seemed to chuckle twice, looking particularly eerie in the endless dark night.

Suddenly, the sound of uniform footsteps came from the woods. As the footsteps approached, a row of torches cut through the darkness, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became clear.

"Who!" The figure sat down on the ground and let out another cry of pain.

Torches surrounded this small area, and a handsome man pushed aside the crowd and chuckled: "Qi Zhijie, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

He hooked his hand, and the men behind him moved: "Take it down!"

"Su Changting?" Qi Zhijie was startled by the sudden appearance of the person and the fire. After seeing the person clearly, he immediately struggled: "Su Changting, why are you arresting me?"

"You are accused of murdering Fu Tiancheng and stealing the Fu family's family recipe "Tiancheng Taste"." Su Yue took the recipe that his men found from Qi Zhijie, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "You have both the stolen goods and the stolen goods, take them away! "

"Who! Who identified me?" Qi Zhijie asked hoarsely with his eyes about to burst.

"Don't you already know who identified you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here in the middle of the night to transfer the stolen goods." Su Yue glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Take it away!"

Qi Zhijie was heartbroken and shouted: "Xiao Yuge...Xiao Yuge! You have caused me so much pain!"

…………

In the court hall, Qi Zhijie and Xiao Yuge knelt side by side.

A few days ago, they were a couple that was admired by everyone, but now, their eyes are full of resentment and suspicion towards each other, and they are no longer the loving couple they once were.

Su Yue thought about it and said, "Xiao Yuge, the person here is Qi Zhijie. Is this the person you identified?"

Xiao Yuge glanced at Qi Zhijie with red eyes: "Sir, that's right."

"Is this Qi Zhijie the person you claim to be the one who conspired with you to murder Fu Tiancheng, steal the Fu family's recipe "Tiancheng Taste", and sell himself to me?" Su Yue asked again.

"That's right." Xiao Yuge said firmly without hesitation.

Hearing her decisive tone, Qi Zhijie roared: "Xiao Yuge! Don't slander me. You were the one who told me where the recipe is hidden!"

As he spoke, he winked at Xiao Yuge desperately.

It's a pity that Xiao Yuge at this moment is no longer the close lover with whom he once had a close heart, but a harried woman full of resentment towards him.

She spoke plaintively: "Qi Zhijie, you still want to leave everything to me and live freely on your own?"

"Yuge, don't be impulsive. You know that I am innocent. As long as you tell the truth, I will definitely find a way to save you!" Qi Zhijie was anxious, but for some reason, Xiao Yuge became resentful of himself in just one day.

"Oh, save me? How can I, a lowly son-in-law, be worthy of being saved by the son-in-law of the Fu family? Don't you want me to admit all my sins and die happily, while you have a beautiful woman in your arms and inherit the Fu family's wealth? I Let me tell you, you are dreaming!" Xiao Yuge wept every word and knocked her head on the hall, bleeding instantly.

She said word by word: "My lord, it's him, Qi Zhijie! He asked for the boning knife but failed. He plotted to kill the master and stole the recipe. Please be clear to me!"

"Yuge!" Qi Zhijie yelled through gritted teeth: "What nonsense are you talking about! I don't even know who the son-in-law of the Fu family is or what kind of beautiful lady he is having!"

At this intense moment, Su Yue slapped the gavel, interrupted Qi Zhijie's argument, and asked sternly: "Qi Zhijie, the witnesses and material evidence are all there, what else do you have to say!"

"My lord, you are wronged!" Qi Zhijie kowtowed as if he was desperate: "It was Xiao Yuge who told me where the recipe was and asked me to hide it somewhere else!"

"This is strange..." Su Yue raised his eyebrows playfully: "But this Xiao Yuge clearly doesn't know where the recipe is?"

Qi Zhijie suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "It's you...it's you! You defrauded me!"

"Ha, you are finally smart for once." Su Yue sneered, and his eyes instantly turned cold: "But it's too late."

But it turns out that the arrest of Qi Zhijie was originally a plot to get him into a trap.

After Xiao Yuge identified Qi Zhijie, Su Yue told Fu Shu about it.

But Xiao Yuge was not sure where the stolen goods were hidden. If Qi Zhijie didn't hide "The Taste of Heaven" by the dry well and went to look for it rashly to scare the snake, it would be difficult to catch him again if he had a chance.

So the two of them came up with a plan: Since they can't take the initiative, why not wait until Qi Zhijie shows his weakness?

Fu Shu specially sent Putao and Fu An to Qi Zhijie's door, pretending to chat, making Qi Zhijie think that Xiao Yuge had confessed and revealed the hiding place of "Tian Cheng Wei".

Qi Zhijie is suspicious, which is evident from the fact that he never told Xiao Yuge the hiding place of "The Taste of Heaven".

In this case, he would definitely doubt whether Xiao Yuge had really found the hiding place of the stolen goods and told the government about it; even if he didn't doubt it, he would want to move "Tiancheng Wei" to a safer place.

So Su Yue ordered people to wait and see at Fu's house. Sure enough, Qi Zhijie set out to move the stolen goods after dark, but was caught by Su Yue and his people.

Only then did Xiao Yuge realize: "What do you mean? Qi Zhijie, what do you mean by this?"

"I was deceived, Yuge, you and I were deceived..." After thinking about it, Qi Zhijie had tears in his eyes: "What you said about a beautiful woman in your arms, I never said at all, it must be this traitor.

A trick was played in front of you..."

Xiao Yuge's eyes widened and he spoke in disbelief: "It's impossible. I obviously saw it with my own eyes. You and Fu Shu... you said you wanted to get married!"

"Miss Xiao is simple-minded. She may not know that there are many talented people in this world, and oral sex is not uncommon." Su Yue spoke at the right moment with a sarcastic expression: "Based on this knowledge and brains alone, you and Miss Fu

, it’s so far away, how can a pheasant still want to compete with a white crane? It’s just wishful thinking. You are only worthy of seeing the mud under someone’s feet.”

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" Xiao Yuge's face was covered with blood and tears at the moment, looking like a madman: "That's not the case..."

"Snapped!"

Su Yue banged the scaffolding, with a solemn face, and pronounced the sentence loudly to the people of Li County inside and outside the government office: "Qi Zhijie and Xiao Yuge murdered their master Fu Tiancheng and stole the Fu family's recipes. Both people got the stolen goods. The evidence is conclusive and they are guilty."

Behead him! When I report to the peak, I will choose a day for execution!"

The voice of "Wei...wu..." fell, and the people of Li County outside the government office fell to their knees one after another, shouting "Master Qingtian".

Fu Shu stood in the crowd, with a smile on his lips but tears streaming from his eyes.

Su Yue looked at her, she was blessed and turned to leave.
