Tang Dynasty Puppet Doctor

Chapter 89 Qiu's Cause of Death
"What's wrong? Huan?"

Feeling her violent emotional fluctuations, Xiao Muchen supported her, and at this moment, Su Yu suddenly woke up and tried to get up and escape, but was caught by Lu Shiyilang again.

"So you were the one who killed my father, Su Yu. How many evil things have you done?"

At this time, Su Yu tremblingly turned his gaze to Murong Huan's face. Seeing a face that was quite similar to his second sister-in-law, his emotions became tense to the extreme again.

"I didn't, I didn't harm you...Even if I hadn't been there, Second Brother would have died. He had a close relationship with Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian. When Li Xian fell from power, he didn't immediately defect to the Wu family. He also refused the court's call and offended the King of Wei. If I hadn't done this, my entire Su family would have died. I did this to protect our Su family."

"So it was you who killed Su Minghe, the Second Master of the Su Family!" Even Lu Shiyilang gritted his teeth in indignation and kicked Su Yu at the same time, "You are worse than a beast!"

"Su Yu, based on what you've done, if I make it public and hand the case over to the Dali Temple or even the Supervisory Council, what do you think will be your retribution?"

"No, please don't..." Su Yu rushed over and begged.

"Then tell me everything you know, otherwise..."

"Even if I say it, I can't escape death. Ah Huan, do you really want our entire Su family to be wiped out?"

Murong Huan didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he simply picked up the bamboo flute again. In Su Yu's extreme anxiety and fear, the sound of the flute once again put him into a dream.

This was a dream that seemed extremely painful to him and he didn't want to recall it.

In the dream, a man's voice said:
"Your wife, Qiu, can't stay here any longer. Go to the Dali Temple and kill her!"

"But she is General Qiu's daughter after all, and the mother of my two children. I..."

"Do you want her to die, or do you want your Su family to be buried with her?"

Su Yu fell silent. The man finally turned around, looked at him, and said with a sinister look on his face:

"Take advantage of the dark night when Lu Ling and the others are asleep and go do this. I will find someone to cover you. If you can't do it, then you will die in her place!"

"Okay, okay! I'll go, I'll go!"

Following the man's instructions, he delivered a basket of prepared dinner snacks to the Dali Temple Prison. Originally, the jailer would not let him in, but at the urging of a bell, the jailer seemed to have lost his soul and personally took him to the interrogation room.

Qiu thought he was going to save her and was overjoyed, but he said the most cruel words that made Qiu despair: "You are already an abandoned child. For the sake of our child, you should go without worry. That way, the person above will let our Su family go and rescue your father."

Qiu sneered: "So, you are here to kill me and silence me too?"

"Things have come to this point, why are you still talking about this? If you hadn't insisted on marrying me back then, how could I have been involved in this and now be in a situation where I can't help myself? But after all, I didn't betray your love like my second brother did, right? We still have two children..."

"You are so shameless!"

"Qiu, none of us has the right to criticize each other. We are all just getting what we need. Aren't you attracted by my face? And you want to train me to be like my second brother, right?

You women always think you are special and can change your husbands with your own means, but you don’t know that it is difficult to change one’s nature.

"I, Su Yu, am just like this. I can't change it."

"Are you going to bite your tongue and commit suicide, or should I help you?" Qiu's eyes were bloodshot, and she was struggling to bite Su Yu, but at this moment, Su Yu covered her mouth tightly, stuffed a pill into her mouth, and pinched her lips hard until she took her last breath.

……

Seeing this, Murong Huan's heart was greatly shaken. It is said that husband and wife are one, sharing honor and disgrace, and even if disaster strikes, they will run away separately. But Su Yu doing this still made her feel cold and unbelievable.

The scene changed again, and Su Yu ran to the vicinity of the White Horse Temple in one breath. He saw the man bringing Qiu Shenji, who was dressed as a jailer, into the White Horse Temple.

Out of curiosity, he quietly followed them to the so-called underground bank. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a beautiful woman kneeling on the ground begging a monk: "Please let me go. If my husband knew, he would definitely not let me go. Please let me go back, let me go back!"

"It's happened so many times already. Why are you still pretending to be a chaste and heroic woman? Besides, this art of dual cultivation between a man and a woman is the Taoist way of harmony and mutual growth. If you can master it, you can achieve immortality. If you can achieve immortality, why not do it?"

When he saw the woman's face, Su Yu ran out in terror. Countless images flashed through his mind: the noble's threats, the woman's curses, and the desperate cries of the young ladies...

As if he was too frightened and shocked, Su Yu woke up from the nightmare again, trembling all over, and looked at Murong Huan and Xiao Muchen in extreme fear.

"What did you just do to me?"

Because the hypnosis lasted too long, Murong Huan was a little exhausted and said, "Let's keep him here for now!"

Hearing this, Su Yu immediately crawled over and shouted, "What are you doing? I'm your third uncle. You can't kill me or imprison me. Otherwise, if the King of Wei finds out I'm here, he'll have you all thrown into the Imperial Court!"

Lu Shiyilang kicked him back. "Bah! With your character, you are worthy of being called her third uncle? And you dare to use the King of Wei to threaten us, Su Yu, do you still have a conscience? You killed your own brother and plotted against your own niece. Aren't you afraid of becoming an animal after death?"

Murong Huan also seemed extremely disappointed with this person. He didn't even want to say a word, so he signaled Xie Zi'e to lock Su Yu in a secret room, and several people walked out of the house.

"Young lady, what did you see from his dream?" Lu Shiyilang rushed out and asked.

Murong Huan then painted Su Yu's memories into one scroll after another and placed them in front of Xiao Muchen, Lu Shiyilang and Xie Zi'e.

"Was Qiu killed by Su Yu?"

After understanding the content of the painting, Lu Shiyilang was surprised.

Murong Huan nodded. "In Su Yu's memory, there are three very important people. One is the person who took Qiu Shenji away, another is the person who handed over the medicine to him, and the third is a woman. Do you know these three people?"

When Lu Shiyilang cast his eyes over, his expression changed several times, and he finally said in surprise: "I know the man who took Qiu Shenji away. He is Liu Sizhi, who works in the Dali Temple. I didn't expect him to be a spy in the Dali Temple. It's a pity that Shiyilang still thinks so highly of him... I will go to the Dali Temple and kill him now!"

"and many more!"

Xiao Muchen called him and said with a serious look:
"Don't be impulsive. You can't kill him before his identity is revealed, otherwise you will become a murderer."

"I know this isn't going to work, but what else can I do?"

"Use him to find Qiu Shenji!"

Murong Huan noticed that Xiao Muchen's eyes were fixed on an official and the woman in the scroll, so he asked, "Do you know these two people?"
