Ningjing heard sneers coming from next door, and two men were talking.
"It's not good to fall in love with anyone, but you fall in love with that bitch Su Liang, huh!"
"I thought he had experts protecting him, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!"
"He didn't send a master to protect Su Liang, right? That's what he deserves, haha."
"Then will Su Liang suspect that he is the master..."
"What evidence does she have? Let's go!"
…
It's quiet next door.
Ningjing waited for another quarter of an hour before it passed.
When he entered through the back window, a strong smell of blood hit his face, as well as a faint incense.
After taking an antidote made by Su Liang, he saw the scapegoat he had arranged under the moonlight.
The man's lower body was on the bed, his upper body was hanging down, his head was on the ground, and his waist was chopped several times, almost split in half.
The crimson blood flowed into a large dark lake on the ground.
Ningjing stood in a clean corner without passing by, and could see two obvious lines of bloody footprints on the ground.
In addition to the waist injury, the chest was also stabbed.
The bed curtain on one side was spattered with blood, covering up the blood spots left by the assassin when he came that night.
Ningjing avoided the blood stains, got closer, cut off the man's two hands at the wrist, grabbed one of the hands, dipped his blood, and wrote the word "Sheng" on the inner sheet. He didn't finish it, but it was two short.
Pen.
Then, Ning Jing tore off a piece of bed curtain, wrapped the two hands, and left the scene of the tragedy.
He left the house for a trip, and when he came back, there was nothing in his hands.
…
Its daybreak.
The door of Su's house was closed tightly, and everyone who passed by would look at it twice, but no one noticed anything was wrong. Su Liang's house was very big, but she and Ning Jing lived alone. She was not at home, and Ning Jing didn't go out much.
The weather is hazy today, with dark clouds gathering for a while, as if a thunderstorm is coming.
The carriage of Marquis Zhongxin stopped outside the gate of Su Mansion, and the driver was Qi Jun. There was also a large cart behind it, driven by Qi Yan, which was pulling a pomegranate tree with green branches and several servants.
He followed the car and supported him, blocking the entire alley.
"Master, Mr. Ning doesn't seem to have gone to the household department today. The door is blocked from the inside." Qi Jun jumped out of the carriage. He had been Ning Jing's substitute for a period of time and knew Ning Jing's daily activities, so it was a little strange. Today is not a holiday.
, whenever Ningjing goes out, he will lock the door from the outside.
Xing Yusheng opened the car curtain, "Maybe he took leave? It would be better for him to be at home and pull the tree in. I mentioned it to him yesterday and I wonder if he has chosen a good place to plant it."
Qi Jun jumped over the high courtyard wall and opened the door bolt from inside.
Xing Yusheng got out of the car and walked in.
Qi Yan led a group of servants from the Xing family, slowly pulling a cart and transporting the pomegranate tree through the door.
"Take him directly to the garden!" Xing Yusheng ordered, "I'll go find Ningjing and see if he's there."
Qi Yan took people to deliver the tree, and Qi Jun followed Xing Yusheng to the main courtyard.
When entering the courtyard, Xing Yusheng also joked, "I heard that my father-in-law gave Mr. Ning a good lesson last night and told him to pay more attention to the marriage, otherwise he would become a monk!"
The flowers in the garden of Zhongxinhou Mansion are in bloom, and some of them are rare varieties in the capital. Xing Yusheng went to pick flowers early in the morning for several days and then personally sent them to Lin Xueqing, and today was no exception.
Originally, Xing Yusheng thought of taking Lin Xueqing out and delivering trees to Ningjing together, but Lin Xueqing said that she had made an appointment with her two sisters-in-law to go shopping.
Lin Xueqing naturally told Xing Yusheng about Ningjing being lectured by Lin Shuzhi last night.
The smile on Qi Jun's face suddenly froze when he saw a dazzling blood stain under the eaves, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted, "Mr. Ning!"
"Why are you shouting so loudly? He's not deaf!" Xing Yusheng said, taking two steps forward and seeing the blood stains on the corridor, his expression changed drastically, "Tranquility!"
The two rushed over, Qi Jun pulled Xing Yusheng behind him, and kicked open the ajar door of Ningjing's room.
A cool breeze rises.
Xing Yusheng almost fainted when he saw the blood all over the room.
Qi Jun rushed in, walked around the screen, saw the body in a pool of blood beside the bed, and called out, "Mr. Ning!"
"Impossible... This is impossible!" Xing Yusheng stood in a pool of blood with a pale face, looking at the shocking corpse, shaking his head repeatedly, "He was so powerful, how could he die... That's not him... I'm sure
It’s not Tingjing! Ajun, go and have a look, isn’t it him?”
But from the perspective of the two of them, you can clearly see the face with closed eyes on the ground, which is undoubtedly Ningjing.
Xing Yusheng's eyes moved and saw the arm soaked in blood, with no hands on it...
He held on to the table next to him to prevent him from passing out.
Qi Jun approached with a pale face and found that the other arm on the corpse had no hand and had been chopped off.
Then, Qi Jun saw the blurred handwriting stained with blood on the bed sheet, his body trembled suddenly, and he blurted out, "The eldest prince did it!"
Xing Yusheng rushed over, followed Qi Jun's line of sight, and saw the two strokes of blood, and instantly his blood surged, "He's looking for death! He's looking for death! He's looking for death!"
Although Ning Jing has never given him a good face since she met Xing Yusheng, and it is daily to be angry with him.
But Xing Yusheng knew that Ning Jing regarded him as a friend. Although he also liked to complain about Ning Jing, this was one of his most important friends.
The night Ning Jing came back the day before yesterday, an assassin sent by Duanmu Che almost killed Qi Jun. Xing Yusheng knew about this. At that time, he also said that if those who wanted to kill Ning Jing were let go, Ning Jing would definitely do it.
Send them to hell.
But I never expected that Ning Jing would die like this?!
Until he was dragged out of the bloody room by Qi Jun, Xing Yusheng was still confused and couldn't believe what he had just seen.
"Go to the Criminal Department to report the case!" Qi Jun's eyes turned red before he finished speaking.
Xing Yusheng looked back, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth, "I want to go to the palace! I want to go to the palace and tell the emperor! It was his son who killed Ning Jing while Su Liang was away!"
Qi Yan walked through the door briskly and asked with a smile on his face, "Shula has gone to the garden, Mr. Ning is not there?"
"Let them all go back, Ayan, you are here to watch! Ajun, go to the punishment department! I want to enter the palace!" Xing Yusheng's voice was choked, and he walked out in a hurry after saying this.
Qi Yan looked puzzled, "Why are you going to the Criminal Department?"
Qi Jun took a deep breath and shook his head with an ugly expression, "Brother, you'll know just by taking a look at the door." After saying that, he caught up with Xing Yusheng and left.
Qi Yan walked to the corridor with an inexplicable expression, looked at the blood on the ground, and frowned. When he saw the situation in the room, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Master Ning!"
…
When officials from the Ministry of Justice received the news that Ning Jing had been killed, they doubted their own ears.
A court official was brutally murdered at home. It was definitely a big case. Almost all members of the Criminal Department were dispatched and hurried to the Su Mansion.
The news spread quickly that Wen Zhuangyuan Ningjing was killed at home last night.
The whole city was shaken.
Lin Xueqing, who was shopping, heard Ning Jing's name from a passerby. At first she didn't understand what was going on, but when she heard it clearly, she immediately became stupid and didn't believe it at all. She rushed towards the Su Mansion regardless.
Xing Yusheng knelt outside the palace gate in broad daylight and asked to see the emperor.
When Duanmuyi received the report, he didn't know what Xing Yusheng was going to do at first, so he sent someone to investigate and get back to him quickly.
When he learned that Ning Jing was dead, Duanmu Yi's pen fell to the ground and he remained silent for a long time.
In the end, Duanmu Yi did not allow Xing Yusheng to enter the palace, but sent someone to tell him that the Ministry of Punishment would handle the case impartially, find out the truth, and let him go back immediately.
Xing Yusheng had the intuition that Duanmu Yi knew that Ning Jing's death was related to his son and wanted to protect Duanmu Sheng. He originally wanted to kneel down and not leave, but then he thought that someone might destroy the evidence, so he hurried back to the Su Mansion.
When Duanmu Yi learned that Xing Yusheng was gone, he darkened his face and asked someone to call Duanmu Chen over.
Duanmu Chen, who had been living in seclusion recently, had just received the news of Ning Jing's death. He thought it was unlikely and wanted to take a look, but it was not good to come forward at this time.
When someone came to the palace, Duanmu Chen hurried into the palace.
When Duanmu Yi saw Duanmu Chen, he mentioned Ning Jing, but he did not doubt the authenticity of Ning Jing's death. He just asked him who he thought would kill Ning Jing?
Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "My son, I dare not say it."
Duanmu Yi snorted coldly, "Speak directly!"
Duanmu Chen sighed deeply, "I don't know how Master Ning died yet, but if anyone is suspected, I think that the eldest emperor brother, the Wan family, and... the fifth emperor brother, all
There is a motive to kill Ningjing.”
Duanmu Sheng had a big feud with Su Liang, and Duanmu Yi knew it very well. Su Liang was not in the capital, and killing her fiancé Ning Jing would be the cruelest way to take revenge on her.
The reason why Wanjia is in this situation is due to Duanmuyi's arrangement, but the person who really suppressed Wanjia to the point of being unable to fight back was Su Liang. Moreover, Duanmuyi had already guessed that Wanshan's "stroke"
", it was Su Liangxia's hand.
The Wan family couldn't kill Su Liang, so they chose to kill Ning Jing to vent their anger. Their motive was very clear.
And because Duanmu Che wanted to get Su Liang, he did some stupid things, showing his unscrupulous side. If he didn't give up on Su Liang, then it was reasonable to want to get rid of the obstacle of Ning Jing.
"I originally thought that with my peaceful family wealth, I would have someone to protect me." Duanmu Yi said with a cold face.
Duanmu Chen sighed deeply again, "Earlier, my father told me about what Su Liang did after arriving in Xuanbei City, and I guessed that she had experts around her to help her, otherwise it would not have been so smooth. Now it seems that Ningjing may have protected him.
He was sent to protect Su Liang."
Duanmu Chen has always suspected that Ning Jing is secretly hiding something and is not just a scholar, but there has never been any evidence. And Ning Jing is more likely to have an expert to protect him than he is. He is from a businessman family and was bullied into exile.
It is much more likely that a young master who becomes a monk is a top master himself.
Let me just say one thing, martial arts cannot be mastered in a year or a half. It is impossible for Ningjing to be very good at first but endure the humiliation and persecution of those bastards, and suddenly one day change his mind and fight back.
Therefore, Duanmuyi previously believed that Ningjing was able to regain the Ning family because he received help from an expert after he fell into despair.
Even Duanmu Chen thought that Ning Jing should really be dead after explaining his speculation.
He had suspected fake death at first, but now the more he thought about it, the less likely it seemed. Originally, Ning Jing and Su Liang were getting married. Where could he find a corpse that looked exactly like him?
"Wan Cong." Duanmu Yi looked at Duanmu Chen and said two words.
Duanmu Chen understood immediately. Whether it was Duanmu Sheng or Duanmu Che who did it, for the sake of the royal family's face, they could not have anything to do with them, so Wan Shan's eldest son Wan Cong was the best candidate for the "murderer". Originally Wan Cong was the
If there is a serious suspicion, even if he did not do it, the evidence must be "conclusive."
"My son, I will go and make arrangements now." Duanmu Chen said respectfully, "But I heard that it was Prince Xing who first discovered Lord Ning's body. If he saw anything, he would definitely tell Su Liang."
"I will send someone to call her back. She is a smart person and knows what to do." Duanmu Chen said coldly, "If she doesn't take the royal family and me in her eyes, she won't be of much use. Go ahead and see her.
Xing Yusheng, tell him not to talk nonsense."
"Yes, I will take my leave." Duanmu Chen saluted and turned around, his face darkening.
Although Wan Cong was highly suspicious, he felt that it was not Wan Cong. The person he most suspected of killing Ning Jing was Duanmu Che...
But it was obvious that Duanmu Yi still wanted to protect Duanmu Che and Duanmu Sheng, who he had given up long ago.
When he walked out of the royal study room, Duanmu Chen was thinking about a question. Duanmu Yi had arranged the candidate for the "murderer" without knowing the truth. Did he really care about his two sons, or was he just doing it for the royal family's face?
Duanmu Chen let out a long sigh. After Duanmu Ao died, he had always been a little worried, feeling that Duanmu Sheng and his group would definitely kill him, and even Duanmu Che couldn't tolerate him.
There was indeed trouble in the middle, but now he is protected by experts and nothing happened.
Unexpectedly, Ning Jing died.
Duanmu Chen didn't know how Su Liang would react when he learned that something happened to Ning Jing. Even if he suspected that Su Liang and Ning Jing were not really going to get married, those two people were the pair with the deepest friendship and deepest understanding he had ever seen in his life.
With Su Liang's temperament... Duanmu Chen looked up at the cloudy sky, feeling that there would be another storm when Su Liang came back.
…
When the officials from the Ministry of Punishment looked at the scene and saw the word in blood, they all looked horrified and did not dare to say anything.
Lin Xueqing was stopped by Qi Yan and did not see Ning Jing's body. She almost fainted from crying and was sent back by Xing Yusheng.
When Lin Shuzhi saw Xing Yusheng, he wanted to ask something, but he opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Unconsciously, his face was filled with tears.
"Uncle, please express your condolences." Xing Yusheng whispered.
Lin Shuzhi murmured to himself, "After A Jing was kicked out of the house and disappeared, I was always worried about him... I once had a nightmare where he was gone. In the dream, he called me master and said goodbye to me.
, but I can't see his face clearly... I'm really happy that he's back well. Last night, I told him to stop wandering and how nice it would be to be with Xiaoliang... so much
OK……"
…
Ningjing sat alone on the top of the mountain in Wangxiang, looking to the north, and dark clouds seemed to be hovering above his head.
Next to him was a newly engraved tablet with five words written on it, "The Spiritual Tablet of Peace."
He looked down at the tablet and said softly, "There are people in this world who care about you. Although it is late, let's treat them as seeing you off this time."
After finishing his words, he looked to the north again, "If I die, I don't know if she will cry..."
