Chapter 223 Take the initiative to showdown, pressure Su Cheng
"Mr. Jiang... did you kill the murderer?"
The Nietai yamen runner outside the guard prison looked at Han Bing's body falling down, and his face showed an incredible look.
None of them expected that Marquis Jiang would come here to force Han Bing to kill, which caught them off guard.
Wu Pengju slowly picked up the sword on the ground, turned his head and looked at the yamen runners with a expressionless face: "What's the use of keeping such a murderer?"
"Don't worry, this marquis will not make you embarrassed. Now let's go back to the mansion to explain this to Marquis Wu'an and Lord Qin. Come and go back to the mansion!"
With a command, the cavalry who followed Wu Pengju here immediately turned around and turned around, and the action was completed in one go without any drag.
In this way, Wu Pengju killed Han Bing openly, leaving the yamen runners speechless.
After leaving the Nietai Yamen, Wu Peng rode his horse straight to his mansion.
At this moment, in the Marquis Jiang's mansion, Su Cheng, Chen Youwei and Qin Ming met the governor Zhang Yuanzheng who also came to attend the banquet at the door, the governor Sun Boyuan, and Wu Wencheng who was greeting everyone at the door.
"Mr. Marquis! Marquis's Madam"
"Two sirs!"
After the two sides said hello, Wu Wencheng smiled and said, "The five of you are here together, and I'll ask for help from here. My father will soon return to the mansion."
As soon as these words were said, Su Cheng and the other five were also disgusted.
As the governor, Zhang Yuanzheng took the lead in asking: "Why, Marquis Jiang hasn't arrived at the mansion yet?"
Wu Wencheng smiled apologized: "Please forgive me for your sins, four lords. My father is on the way back, but according to the time, he should be here soon."
The five people realized that Marquis Jiang hadn't returned to his house, and just notified them in advance to wait here.
However, as Jiang Hou, it was nothing to ask the four of them to wait for a while.
"So that's it. I'll go in and wait!" Zhang Yuanzheng nodded without saying anything more.
Wu Wencheng brought five people into the lobby of the mansion, and a large table of delicious food was already set up.
Just after the five of them sat down, footsteps and a pleasant laugh came from outside the hall: "Hahaha, it's because I am late for me to come back. I'll be waiting for you. This is my fault!"
Su Cheng and others turned around and saw that Jiang Hou was walking forward in military uniform.
Wu Pengju picked up the wine glass on the table and smiled and said, "To apologize, I will punish myself for three cups!"
As he said that, he drank three consecutive glasses of wine!
Putting down the wine glass, Wu Peng looked at everyone, then bowed to Su Cheng: "This is the Marquis of Wu'an whom His Majesty personally named him? He is indeed young and promising."
Su Cheng smiled indifferently and said, "I heard about Jiang Hou Daming for a long time. When I saw him tonight, I was indeed well-known!"
Wu Peng raised his hand and waved his hand: "That's all rumored from outside. I still have only one pair of hands and one pair of feet, not three heads and six arms!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Sun Boyuan: "This is the new governor, Lord Sun, right?"
"I have met Marquis Jiang!" Sun Boyuan bowed respectfully to Wu Pengju.
"No need to be polite. This is my lord who will treat you tonight, just take a little more casually."
Wu Pengju reached out to everyone and signaled: "Come on, don't stand, sit down and have lunch. I haven't had lunch yet when I come back."
Everyone sat down one after another, Zhang Yuanzheng and Qin Ming began to toast Wu Pengju, and then Su Cheng and Sun Boyuan also had a few drinks with Wu Pengju.
For a moment, the atmosphere was in a happy mood and looked peaceful. Those who didn't know thought that everyone was friends who had known each other for many years.
It was not until after three rounds of drinking that Wu Pengju took the initiative to speak: "I heard that Marquis Wu'an captured the prisoner who committed the crime in Linjiang City this time, and that man was also a maid in this Marquis's mansion?"
It's indeed here!
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes and said that what should come is still here.
After all, Han Bing is from the Marquis of Jiang's mansion. No matter what, Wu Peng must give an explanation for this matter.
"Yes, the perpetrator is Han Bing. I designed her to take her down, but I suspect there is someone behind her and intends to use her to attract the people behind her to take action."
Su Cheng did not hide it and directly stated his purpose.
But as soon as he said this, Wu Pengju looked very surprised: "Oh, I really didn't expect that Wu'an Hou would have this effect when he kept her. That would be bad. This Hou ruined Wu'an Hou's good thing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was a little surprised and looked at Wu Pengju inexplicably.
Even Su Cheng looked puzzled, not understanding what Wu Pengju meant.
"What does Mr. Jiang mean? Please tell me clearly." Su Cheng suddenly had a bad premonition, and always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something tonight.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Wu Pengju said slowly: "I have heard of the case that happened in Linjiang City for a long time, and I also hate the murderer. This time, Wu'an Hou was able to catch this person, which is of great significance!
”
"But maybe it was because I heard that the man was a maid in the mansion, so I couldn't help it. When I passed by the Nietai Yamen, I went in and took a look, and then let the murderer commit suicide."
"I thought the vassal of Nietai kept her to report to the Ministry of Justice, and wanted her to die sooner, so as not to be troublesome to report to the Ministry of Justice in the future."
"I didn't expect that Wu'an Hou would have the idea of letting her catch the master messenger behind the scenes. Please forgive me!"
"Come on, I will regard this glass of wine as apologizing to Wu'an Hou!"
As he said that, Wu Peng raised his wine glass to signal to Su Cheng.
When Su Cheng heard that Han Bing was killed, his face changed drastically and his hands were immediately held together!
Wu Pengju's actions were too strange. He first asked them to come to the banquet before he returned home, and then he passed by the Nietai yamen, which made him wonder if Wu Pengju was the envoy behind the scenes.
After all, there are many roads back to Jianghou’s Mansion from the city gate. Why did Wu Pengju choose the one passing by the Nietai Yamen?
Is this intentional or is it really just an unintentional mistake as Wu Pengju said?
But no matter what, now that Han Bing is dead, this clue is completely cut off. If there is really a behind-the-scenes envoy, he will not be able to follow up.
The person who caused all this was not someone else, but the Marquis Jiang in front of him.
Han Bing is from the Marquis of Jiang. Now that something has happened, Marquis of Jiang not only returns to Linjiang City in person, but also comes forward to solve the problem in person. This has to make Su Cheng doubt the purpose and intention of this person!
But this person was very cunning. He said this in front of everyone, looking completely misunderstood, which made Su Cheng have no choice but to deal with this person.
At this moment, Su Chengcai truly realized what ginger is or how spicy it is!
"Wu'an Hou? Why don't you drink?" Wu Pengju couldn't help but look unhappy when he saw Su Cheng not raising his glass.
Instead of picking up the wine glass, Su Cheng stared at Wu Pengju and said coldly: "Mr. Jiang, that Han Bing was captured by this Marquis. It was originally intended to be of great use. Now that you are forced to death, you must give this matter to you.
This hou has an explanation, otherwise…”
"What else do you want?"
Before Su Cheng could finish speaking, Wu Pengju snorted coldly, his aura exploded, and his powerful aura instantly locked Su Cheng.
A strong pressure immediately made Su Cheng's face change drastically!
