Chapter 131: Qian Mansion Night Banquet (Part 4)
Hearing Ding Xiu say this, Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes and asked, "Do I have a grudge against you?"
"certainly!"
Ding Xiu nodded without hesitation: "You beat me so hard that day that I vomited blood several times. I remember it clearly!"
"You were the one who attacked first, okay?!"
Sun Shaozong said speechlessly: "Besides, didn't I let you live that day? Plus I saved your life today. These two lives combined are more valuable than those mouthfuls of blood gold, right?"
"You do have some truth in what you said."
Ding Xiu scratched his ear in embarrassment, then pointed at Chen Rushuang on the ground and said, "But I accepted money from him and promised to take your life. I can't go back on my word, can I?"
"Bah!"
Sun Shaozong said disdainfully : "I also gave you a horse, but you still didn't send any news back? You still have the nerve to say 'breaking your promise'?!"
Then, he said in a very arrogant tone, "Let's not waste time on this. If you really want to kill me, just stab me. If you don't want to kill me, just kill Mr. Qian and run away."
When Ding Xiu heard this, a bit of anger appeared on his face. Without saying a word, he swung his sword and chopped at Sun Shaozong's neck. When he was about to behead Sun Shaozong, he shook his hand violently, and the royal guard's sword passed by Sun Shaozong's ear.
Slowly withdrawing the long knife, Ding Xiu saw that Sun Shaozong had no fear on his face, but instead showed a smile that said "as expected". He couldn't help but spit and cursed: "You bastard, I hate people like you the most. You don't even know how to get any benefits when you are about to die!"
Sun Shaozong just smiled and didn't answer.
Among the three people present, including Chen Rushuang, the person most likely to let him go was Ding Xiu.
That's why Sun Shaozong spoke up to warn people just now.
Now it seems that the bet was right!
"Good man, good man!"
At this time, Qian Ning shouted: "As long as you kill this guy surnamed Sun, I guarantee that you will enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of your life!"
Ding Xiu glanced back at Qian Ning, then raised his eyebrows at Sun Shaozong and said, "Look at him, then look at yourself? You have the nerve to bring up a dead horse!"
As he said this, he walked to Qian Ning with great joy and asked with a burning gaze, "How much benefit are you going to give me, Mr. Qian?"
"Of course it's all up to the hero's orders!"
Seeing that there was a way out, Qian Ning made a wish: "As long as the good man spares my life, I will give all my property to him!"
"Look, look! This is the attitude of saving your life!"
Ding Xiu turned around and bared his teeth at Sun Shaozong, saying unhappily: "Just for this, I should kill you and run away."
After a pause, he frowned again and said, "Besides, aren't you known as the 'honest judge'? Is it really okay to instigate me to kill someone and run away?"
Sun Shaozong said helplessly: "If Chen Rushuang was not dead, I might have advised you to hand him over to the government for punishment, but now - without any evidence, it would be too troublesome to convict him. It would be better for you to chop him off directly, which would also comfort Jin Yichuan's spirit in heaven."
Although he would act according to the "king's law" most of the time, he was not a person who followed the rules and was inflexible. Otherwise, he would not have threatened Zhao Wuwei .
"hero!"
After hearing this, Qian Ning hurriedly shouted again: "Don't listen to the nonsense of this Sun. I killed Jin Yichuan because I was deceived by the slave girl. It was not intentional!"
"If a good man can forgive the bad man, as long as I, Qian Ning, am alive, I will definitely grant your requests!"
"You are really smart! It seems I have no other choice!"
Ding Xiu said this and turned and walked towards Sun Shaozong.
Qian Ning was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that Ding Xiu took two steps and suddenly turned around and stabbed him in the heart with a knife!
Qian Ning's smile froze on his face, and only his eyes had time to turn surprise into horror.
Ding Xiu drew out his long sword leisurely, shrugged at his corpse and said, "I just want you to tell my junior brother to be more careful in his next life, so as not to be tricked and killed again."
After saying that, he suddenly turned around and stared at Sun Shaozong and asked, "Hey, Lord Sun, if I kill you now, will this matter become an unsolved case?"
"You think of beauty!"
Sun Shaozong sneered, "Given Qin Kejian's character, even if he can't find any evidence, he will still put the blame on you. You've already killed four people, so what's so strange about killing three more?"
Ding Xiu's face fell, and he said dejectedly: "Then what good will it do if I let you go? Will you help me clear my name?"
"Of course... not!"
Sun Shaozong said without disguising, "I will definitely tell the truth, otherwise the suspicion of killing a fourth-rank official will fall on me, right?"
After a pause, he continued, "But I can help you clear the charges of killing Jin Yichuan and others."
"How do I wash it?"
"Simple!"
Sun Shaozong said confidently: "First, leave a blood poem on the wall to show that you are a real man. If a fourth-rank official says so, you will kill him without hesitation. But since you didn't kill him yourself, no one can frame you!"
"Remember to use the more arrogant words, the better. It would be best if you leave a few bloody handprints so that people can be sure that it was you who did it. This way you can also trick Qin Kejian - the guy who framed you and led people to arrest you!"
"After you escape from the Qian Mansion, don't forget to make some noise to attract the servants in this mansion to come and check. The louder the noise, the better, because the more people come, the safer I will be!"
"When the time comes, I will naturally explain the whole story!"
Wait for Sun Shaozong to finish speaking in one breath.
Ding Xiu looked him up and down and said in admiration, "It's amazing that you are so cunning at such a young age - this bitch is not trying to clear my name, she's clearly trying to exonerate herself!"
Sun Shaozong shrugged slightly: "If you insist on thinking so, I have no objection."
"All right."
Ding Xiu sighed again and said seriously: "The only problem right now is that I can't write poetry, I don't even know how to read!"
Sun Shaozong was stunned, then frowned and said, "But didn't you say that the Dragon Guards gave you a note?"
Ding Xiushi said confidently, "Don't you know that there are people on the street who read letters to their families? I'll cut the note into several pieces and ask people to read each one. Then you'll know what it means."
Sun Shaozong: “…”
The two of them stared at each other for a long while, and finally Sun Shaozong had no choice but to say, "Go away, I'll find another way to clear your name ."
Ding Xiu was not pretentious. He walked out of the flower hall. Not long after, he heard a noisy sound in front of him, followed by a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from far away...
