I just want to live a good life

Chapter 270 Putting the blame on

"Third brother."

Su Nuan's eyes turned red as soon as she called out.

Cai Ya had already helped Xia Changze change his clothes, and Meixiang was feeding him water.

Although the man had a hint of life, he still looked like a piece of torn cloth, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Xia Changze forced a smile on his pale face, "You came back for me, right? Come and tell me what interesting things you encountered on this trip!"

"You still have the heart to talk about this. Do you know that if I came back two days later, I would have died in the prison of the Ministry of Justice?"

"..."

"Did you really kill Mu Yunsong?"

"No."

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Xia Changze had really killed someone. If he really killed Mu Yunsong, even if he could save his life from Lord Shen, it would be difficult for him to escape the revenge of King Ankang.

"What's going on? Why did someone say they saw you kill him?"

"The scene was chaotic at the time. Those people only saw Mu Yunsong falling in front of me. They didn't see who killed him at all."

"Did Third Brother see who killed him?"

"I saw it, but I only saw the back, not the face."

Su Nuan was a little disappointed. If the person was not an acquaintance, it would be difficult to recognize him/her from his/her back.

"Third brother, if you tell me the details of what happened, maybe we can find some clues."

Xia Changze nodded and slowly recounted what happened that day.

Four days ago, he and a few friends made an appointment to go to Zuixianju for a drink.

Zuixianju was full that day, and there was only one table left when they arrived. Just as they were about to sit down, Mu Yunsong came in with a group of people.

Mu Yunsong came to grab the seat without saying a word.

As the son of a military general, although Mu Yunsong was related to the emperor, Xia Changze was not afraid of him. The two of them fought over a table, and ended up being kicked out of Zuixianju.

Xia Changze felt bored and wanted to leave, but Mu Yunsong refused to give in and pulled Xia Changze to fight again.

The two groups started fighting again at the gate of Zuixianju.

The scene was very chaotic.

There are many people fighting, and there are also many people trying to stop them.

Xia Changze felt that such a mess was too dangerous and might even attract people from the City Patrol, so he wanted to stop.

But the group of people were crowded together, and he couldn't get out even if he stopped.

Just then, someone suddenly shouted "Murder".

A group of people were so shocked that they dared not move. Then Xia Changze felt someone falling on him. He subconsciously reached out to push, and the person fell to the ground.

There was dead silence all around, and everyone was staring at the person lying on the ground in a daze.

"Xia Changze killed Mu Yunsong! Xia Changze killed Mu Yunsong!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

Xia Changze leaned over to check Mu Yunsong's breathing, and found that he was already breathing very slowly. Without time to think about it, he quickly asked someone to find a doctor.

The people from the City Patrol arrived at the scene before the doctor, but Mu Yunsong had already died by then.

Everyone pointed out that Xia Changze was the murderer.

Afterwards, he was taken to the City Patrol Office.

Before anyone came to try the case, Prince Ankang led his men to break into the City Patrol Office and brought him back to Prince Ankang's Palace.

Then General Xia went to ask King Ankang for the person, but King Ankang naturally refused to give him the person, and the two of them went to the Emperor to make a scene.

Both of them are loyal ministers, and the emperor cannot be partial to them. It is not right to intervene, nor is it right to ignore them. However, Xia Changze has a relationship with the prince after all. The emperor wants to save his life, so he orders the Ministry of Justice to try the case.

Before handing Xia Changze over to the Ministry of Justice, King Ankang beat him severely, leaving him with only one breath.

Lord Shen almost brought back a corpse.

After listening to Xia Changze's story, Su Nuan was almost certain that someone had deliberately framed her. She thought for a moment and asked, "Third brother said he saw the murderer's back. What's going on?"

Xia Changze replied: "At that time, someone shouted 'murder', and everyone stopped and looked around. Only one person hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but later I thought that person was very suspicious."

"Indeed." Su Nuan said, "Third brother, you only saw his back, didn't you see any other features of that person?"

"No, of course it was very confusing. I didn't even think that he might be the murderer, so I didn't care about the details on him. But the material of his clothes was very ordinary, just ordinary cotton cloth, and the color seemed to be gray."

Gray cotton clothes are everywhere on the streets, which is not a special feature.

"Third brother, think again about whether there was anything special at that time."

Hearing this, Xia Changze tried hard to recall the scene at that time. After thinking for a while, he looked at Su Nuan and shook his head apologetically.

Su Nuan couldn't understand why someone would frame Xia Changze, who was the most harmless person in the Xia family.

In fact, the means of frame-up were not sophisticated, but she just couldn't figure out where the key point was.

If she couldn't figure it out, she would stop thinking about it. Lord Shen was good at solving cases. Lord Shen was the prince's man and would definitely do his best to investigate the case.

"It doesn't matter. You didn't kill the person, so Lord Shen won't wrongly accuse you. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injuries. Today, my mother was at the gate of the Ministry of Justice, clamoring to see you. I coaxed her back first. If she saw you like this, she would be heartbroken."

"Mother must be very worried."

"That's right, so you should get enough rest as soon as possible. I will find a way to bring mother to see you tomorrow."

Xia Changze asked in confusion: "Why did you ask me to find a way for my mother to come to see me? Did my father not allow my mother to come to see me?"

"Of course not. Daddy couldn't come to see you even if he wanted to. It was the Emperor who didn't allow the people from the General's Mansion to see you. I guess he did it to appease Prince Ankang. After all, it was his son who died, and he must hate you now. If the Emperor doesn't do something to show him, he will definitely cause trouble."

"That's true. Otherwise, you should bring mom to see me in two days. I'm afraid I won't be much better tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, I will be so worried that I will get sick. If I wasn't here today, I would have killed a guard from the Ministry of Justice and come in to jail with you."

"Oh, it's all my fault. I made mother worry about me."

Xia Changze said in annoyance.

"How can you be blamed for this? Someone deliberately framed you, and you can't hide from it. Why don't you think about whether you have offended anyone recently, or think about the other characteristics of the person you suspect."

Xia Changze raised his hand and rubbed Su Nuan's head, then said with a smile: "Little sister, you have really grown up. If I had known that you would be so sensible after getting married, I should have asked Dad and Mom to marry you off a long time ago."

Su Nuanxin said that if you had married your sister off earlier, I wouldn’t have anything to do with it.

As the two siblings were talking, Lord Shen came to question Xia Changze.
