Chapter 22 I feel like I have raised a stupid son
Mr. An came in a hurry and stared at Tian Sheng with a livid face, "Tian Sheng, you are so brave to kill people in public!"
Tian Sheng never expected that Mr. An would appear, and he knelt on the ground with a snap in fear.
"Sir, I am unjustly accused. It was the woman who killed people first. If such a murderer is not dealt with in time, he may endanger the people. I am also worried about the safety of the people! Please be careful, sir!"
"People?" Mr. An laughed angrily at Tian Sheng's remarks. "If you care about the people at all, why do you poison their parents? Why do you let innocent people take the blame?"
"Sir, if I don't have this official, I'm wronged!" Tian Sheng kept shouting that he was wronged.
"No? Huh!" Mr. An snorted, flicked his wide sleeves, and took two steps to the side, "Look who this is!"
Tian Sheng looked up and met Lu Chengjing's bottomless black eyes.
Lu Chengjing sat on a simple stretcher and asked in a cold voice: "Master Tian, I don't know how Lu got in your way. It's not enough for Lu to take the blame. He also ordered someone to murder Lu on the way to Fucheng. Can Master Tian give Lu some help?" A certain statement?”
"You are so slanderous!" Tian Sheng scolded angrily, "It is obvious that you had evil intentions and were jealous of Mr. Li for accepting the Lu family's eldest son as his disciple instead of you, so you poisoned his life. Now you are pushing the poisoning to this person. Official, Lu Chengjing, you are a treacherous villain, Mr. An knows everything and will definitely not do what you want!"
Lu Chengjing sarcastically said: "Master Tian is born with a sharp mouth, and it is easy to confuse right and wrong."
Shang Wan came over and said, "It's obviously your dog that bit someone, but you blame me, an outsider, why are you so shameless?"
"you!"
"Shut up!" Mr. An was too lazy to listen to Tian Sheng's continued arguments, "Drag him down and put him in jail. No one is allowed to visit him without my permission!"
Two government officials stepped forward, blocked Tian Sheng's mouth, and dragged him away.
"Mr. An, they are Geng Hao and Niu Baoqing." Shang Wan pointed to the two quails huddled together.
Mr. An waved his hand and said, "Take them to prison together!"
Geng Hao looked pitifully at Shang Wan, but what about saving his life as promised?
Shang Wan couldn't understand his little look, but thinking that he had tried his best to protect Niu Baoqing, an important witness, he still begged him in front of Mr. An.
Mr. An said that he would consider it as appropriate and ordered the guards to ask a doctor to treat Geng Hao's injuries.
The two were taken down.
The guards arrived with a large number of government officials and temporarily sealed off the Tian Mansion. No one in the Tian Mansion was allowed to go out.
Master An went to worship in front of Li Wenhua's spirit. All Li family members came to pay their respects. Master An comforted everyone and stayed at the inn with three guards.
He won't go to court until tomorrow. Lu Chengjing is still guilty and has to go back to prison. But Mr. An understood that he was injured and specially allowed Shangwan to take care of him.
Shang Wan originally wanted to go back to Yushu Village, but thinking that it had only been a day and nothing major would happen, he took up half of Lu Chengjing's straw mat with peace of mind.
In order to invite Mr. An back as soon as possible, Shang Wan ran as fast as possible when he went to Fucheng and rode back on horseback, so that he could save Lu Chengjing in time.
He didn't close his eyes for almost a whole day and night. As soon as he relaxed, Shang Wan felt sleepy, tilted his head slightly and fell asleep.
Lu Chengjing, however, couldn't sleep. Firstly, he was aching from the injuries on his body, and secondly, he was not used to having someone lying next to him.
Rubbing the small porcelain bottle with his left hand, Lu Chengjing stared at the wall for a long time before turning his head very gently. With the faint moonlight coming in from the window, he quietly looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of the person next to him.
Shang Wan was so alert that he slapped his mouth and said, "Why are you up so late at night and staring at me?"
Lu Chengjing: "...you didn't sleep?"
"Sleeping." Shang Wan turned his head and half-opened his left eye, "But with you staring like this, the dead can come back to life."
She yawned sleepily, "Tell me, what are you thinking about when you don't sleep?"
Lu Chengjing was silent.
Shang Wan opened his eyes with a soft tsk, "Don't force me to deal with you in the middle of the night. Come on, I still want to sleep."
Lu Chengjing made an excuse, "I'm worried about going to court tomorrow." "Tomorrow is just a formality, what's there to worry about?" Shang Wan reached out and patted him like Yuanyuan, "Sleep well, sleep well." , the injury heals quickly.”
Lu Chengjing responded softly and closed his eyes, feeling the slight force coming from the quilt, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Hearing his breathing become even, Shang Wan took back his hand and sighed secretly. Why did he suddenly feel like he had raised a stupid son?
The next day, a scream woke Shang Wan from his sleep.
She opened her sleepy eyes, "Who died?"
"Tian Sheng." Lu Chengjing also woke up. It would be better to say that he had woken up a long time ago and had just been lying down with his eyes closed to rest.
Shang Wan stretched for a moment, got out of bed, and ran to watch.
Tian Sheng died after taking poison. Like Li Wenhua, he suffered from bleeding from all his orifices and the appearance of his death was horrific.
Is this suicide out of fear of guilt?
Shang Wan stared at Tian Sheng's body and felt that Tian Sheng did not look like a person who would commit suicide and chose such a painful way to die.
Mr. An rushed over after receiving the news. After inspecting Tian Sheng's body, he found poison on the nail of his left thumb. After scraping it off and examining it, it was found that it was the poison that Tian Sheng had been poisoned by.
Mr. An frowned so hard that he could kill a fly. Tian Sheng had been prepared for this.
As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die. Although one person dies on the left and right, one more day is worth living.
Furthermore, Tian Sheng had no time to say goodbye to his family yesterday. With his love for his children, even if he had to commit suicide, he should do so after seeing his family for the last time.
There is something strange about this matter.
"Take the body to the morgue first."
Two government officials came forward and carried the body away.
Mr. An turned around and ordered the guards, "Strictly investigate those who came into contact with Tian Sheng in the prison yesterday."
"yes!"
After Shang Wan watched, she was about to leave when Lord An called out to her, "Ms. Shang has a very good ear. Did you hear any strange noises last night?"
Shang Wan looked at the sky and recalled for a moment, then shook his head, "No."
In her heart, Tian Sheng is already a dead person and there is no need to pay more attention to him.
Mr. An was obviously a little disappointed. After saying a few words of concern about Lu Chengjing's situation, he left with his guards.
Although Tian Sheng is dead, the case will still go to trial.
No poison was found in Tian's mansion yesterday, and there was some lack of physical evidence. However, Tian Sheng died after taking poison, and the death condition was the same as that of Li Wenhua, so the physical evidence was already available.
Xie Zhiqiang confessed to Tian Sheng instigating him and his squad leader to kill Lu Chengjing during the escort. Niu Baoqing also confessed to being forced by Yang Rang to poison Li Wenhua.
Yang Rang found out that Tian Sheng was dead and he was seriously injured. He didn't know how long he could live. He felt disheartened and confessed honestly.
Tian Sheng planned to poison Li Wenhua for the same reason as Lu Chengjing speculated. He was worried that Li Wenhua would reveal his affair with Zhang and ruin his official career.
"Sir," Lu Chengjing bowed to Master An, "Xiaosheng has something unclear and I would like to ask Yang Rang."
Master An nodded in agreement.
Lu Chengjing turned his head and looked at Yang Rang, "How did Tian Sheng know that Li Wenhua knew about his quarrel with Zhang?"
