Chapter 160 Dare to kill my husband, you are courting death!
Assassination in the dark night, extremely critical!
The injured Shen Xingyu wanted to rescue him, but he was unable to stand up, let alone save Su Cheng.
Su Cheng looked at the knife so close in front of him, and could even feel the coldness and coldness emanating from the blade.
If he is hit in the neck by such a knife, his head will definitely be separated from the body directly.
At this moment, Su Cheng's mind went blank. He did not expect that he would die here in such a way.
At this moment, Su Cheng had no choice but to watch the knife approaching quickly.
At the critical moment, I suddenly heard an angry shout: "If you dare to kill my husband, you are seeking death!"
"Whoosh!"
A sword came from the west, pierced the night sky, and with a whistling sound, went straight to the leader of the man in black.
Before the leader of the man in black could drop his sword, the sharp sword penetrated his heart, but the huge force of inertia still carried the man's sword towards Su Cheng.
At the critical moment, just when Su Cheng thought he had no way to avoid it, his body suddenly felt light and his whole body was pulled into the air.
When he came back to his senses, he saw his wife, Shen Youwei, with a frosty look on her face!
After landing, Shen Youwei protected Su Cheng behind her: "Ms. sir, leave them to me to deal with. You go and check on the situation of your fourth brother!"
After saying that, Shen Youwei pulled out the sharp sword stuck in the leader of the men in black with a livid face.
She knew that her husband-in-law did not want her to go out in the middle of the night, and she also knew that her persuasion was useless, so she followed her out secretly to protect her husband-in-law.
Unexpectedly, she was just a little late and her husband-in-law was almost killed by these people, which made Shen Youwei's murderous intention surge in her heart.
"Madam, please stay alive if possible!"
Su Cheng also knew that he couldn't help, so he could only give a warning before going over to help the injured Shen Xingyu.
At this moment, Shen Youwei jumped up, like a roc spreading its wings, roaring towards the group of men in black.
When the man in black saw that his leader had been killed, he was furious and rushed over with his sword brandished.
Shen Youwei was seen attacking mercilessly, with a series of rapid swords and sword shadows, which were particularly eye-catching in the weak firelight.
Both sides were angry, but these people were obviously no match for Shen Youwei. Once they fought, they could not clearly see the speed of Shen Youwei's attacks.
As several screams rang out, the men in black fell to the ground one after another. They were all stabbed in the vital parts and it seemed that they would not survive.
In just the blink of an eye, Shen Youwei's body was stained with blood, and the pungent smell of blood made it difficult for her to suppress the murderous intention in her heart, and she would not show mercy!
It was not until a moment later that only two people were killed. Shen Youwei snorted coldly and swept the sword left and right, knocking the two people to the ground.
However, just when Shen Youwei wanted to catch these two people, the two people suddenly bit the poison hidden in their mouths and died immediately.
Shen Youwei went over to take a look and found that the two of them were also dead. She couldn't help but sneered: "Well done, I asked you to take action against my husband!"
Shen Youwei shook off the blood on the sword in her hand and returned it to its sheath, then she ran towards Su Cheng and Shen Xingyu.
"Ms. sir, are you okay?" Shen Youwei looked at Su Cheng who was covered in filth with worry.
These words made Shen Xingyu smile bitterly. He is already like this. Sister, can you not turn a blind eye?
Su Cheng shook his head: "I'm fine, I was just knocked out. But Xingyu was seriously injured and has to be taken back for treatment first."
"I...I'm fine. Brother-in-law, aren't you going to the inn to meet Zhao Kangyu and Mr. Yang?" Shen Xingyu asked, holding back his injuries.
When Su Cheng heard Zhao Kangyu's name, his eyes instantly brightened.
"This group of people should be the soldiers he sent to kill me. Their purpose is to kill me, the magistrate of Liuhe County, so that his son's case can be overturned!"
"I handled this case single-handedly. If I die, if anything happens to the case next, they can shift the responsibility to me."
"It's even possible that he would ask the butler and the guards that week to retract their confessions."
Today's assassination, you don't need to think about it to know that it was arranged by Zhao Kangyu.
Since he, the official who was presiding over the case, died, Zhao Chengwang's case became more maneuverable.
Zhao Kangyu wanted to kill Liu Changfeng before, but failed. The other party had no choice but to target Su Cheng.
If my wife hadn't been following him secretly tonight, maybe the other party would have succeeded.
"Hmph, it's Zhao Kangyu, that bastard again, I'm going to kill him now!"
When Shen Youwei heard that it was an assassin sent by Zhao Kangyu, she turned pale with anger and went to the inn to settle the score with Zhao Kangyu with her sword in hand.
Su Cheng's face changed when he heard this: "No, we have no proof. As long as he insists on refusing to admit it, it will be us who are guilty."
The hierarchy of dignity in this world is very serious, and if one of the following is committed, it will be a capital crime.
Judging from Zhao Kangyu's current situation, if the other party catches this excuse, they will not let them go easily.
"Can we just let him bully us and remain indifferent?"
Shen Youwei was unwilling to give in. She had never suffered such a loss in her entire life.
When she thought that her husband-in-law almost died here just now, she was so angry that she couldn't even vent her anger.
If she dared to attack her husband, she would not let him go so easily.
Su Cheng looked at the angry lady and couldn't help but shake his head: "Don't worry, madam, I will never let this matter go like this!"
"Hmph, if the evidence of assassinating an imperial official is confirmed, then this will be the end of his life for a second-grade official!"
"What's more, these people can be seen as dead soldiers at a glance. If this matter is reported to the higher authorities, the Taiyuan Yamen will definitely investigate to the end."
This matter has gone beyond the scope of his investigation, and the only way is to let the people from the Zhetai Yamen handle it.
With the relationship between Qin Ming and Zhao Kangyu, he will definitely not miss this opportunity to punish Zhao Kangyu.
Moreover, Su Cheng also felt that these dead soldiers were not that simple, and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind them.
After all, most people would not dare to raise such things as dead soldiers. Once they are raised, they will definitely be used to do shameful things.
Zhao Kangyu, Zhao Kangyu, you didn’t kill me, Su Cheng, this time. The next step will be a fight to the death between you and me!
Su Cheng had murderous intent in his eyes, and he had already developed murderous intentions towards Zhao Kangyu.
Originally, Zhao Kangyu came here to save Zhao Chengwang, and he felt that it was understandable. After all, he was the other person's only son, and it was impossible not to save him.
But in order to save Zhao Chengwang, the other party did not hesitate to kill Liu Changfeng and him, the county magistrate!
For such a person, he thinks that the other person has lost the qualification to live!
"Let's go, let's take Shen Xingyu back first, and then send someone over to collect the bodies here!"
"Tonight, I will write a letter overnight to inform Mr. Qin of the news here. There is only a dead end waiting for Zhao Kangyu."
If he encounters an assassination, he will naturally not go to the inn to see Zhao Kangyu again.
Now that Zhao Kangyu has taken action, it's time for Su Cheng to fight back.
