Time passed little by little, and the messenger did not show up for a long time.

Waiting is painful, even if Qin Ji has been looking for all kinds of topics to pass the time. Yu Mingzhi couldn't sit still, maybe today was the day of the collapse of King Yi's party, she really wanted to see it with her own eyes.

After another question was vaguely dealt with by Yu Mingzhi, Qin Ji sighed helplessly, "You have to think about it, there must be traces of torture left by the big tent before, do you really want to take a look?"

Yu Mingzhi took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Anyway, I've already seen it." ”

Qin Ji saw that she pretended to be calm, dusted off her cuffs, and said after getting up, "Okay, let's go over and see for ourselves." ”

Yu Mingzhi followed him, and the two walked out of the palace quickly, and a young man stood at the door with Taxue in tow, and when he saw them coming, he handed over the reins to Qin Ji without saying a word.

After Qin Ji helped Yu Mingzhi get on the horse, he led the horse slowly in the direction of the paddock as if he was going out for a walk.

Yu Mingzhi sat on horseback and looked far away, looking at the lush woods under the sun, the dappled light points fell on the green grass, the colorful birds jumped on the branches, singing crisp tunes, and the thin breeze sent the fragrance of flowers and plants.

It was another very ordinary day.

But as the paddock approached, the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.

A few horses were scattered on both sides of the road, grazing leisurely, but on the green grass, a pool of bright red blood stains were particularly dazzling, and even two human teeth could be seen.

The paddock has long been heavily guarded, blocking several exits. When they saw Qin Ji coming, the encirclement relaxed, bowed respectfully, and let go of a gap for them to pass.

"General Tian, where is the emperor now?" Qin Ji slowed down and asked the middle-aged man standing at the door with a knife and a fierce face.

General Tian said: "The smallest tent in the west is still talking to Li Yushi. ”

Qin Ji asked again: "Did any of the people over there escape from Zhao Shangshuling?"

"Nope. General Tian patted his chest and said, "They don't dare to mess around, in case they are caught and sent to the emperor, they will be convicted." ”

Qin Ji said: "The dog will jump off the wall if he is in a hurry." ”

General Tian nodded, "Qin Sheren, rest assured, I will never relax." ”

Qin Ji arched his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, General Tian." ”

Yu Mingzhi looked at them from a high place, where did the posture of these two people resemble the five-rank middle scholar and the third-rank left guard general, as if Qin Ji was the one who was two levels higher in the official rank.

General Tian also politely bowed his hand, "Where is it, Qin Sheren, please go this way." As he spoke, he pointed to a path to the west, "I've already asked people to watch, and Zhao Zhong's people can't get close for half a minute." ”

"Good. Qin Ji continued to lead the horse to that side, "From this road, you won't see those dirty and bloody scenes, and you don't need to be afraid." ”

Yu Mingzhi looked at the winding path, the green shade blocked the hot afternoon sun, and it looked refreshing and comfortable.

"I shouldn't be afraid of that. She whispered.

Qin Ji glanced back at her, with a deep soft smile in his eyes, "There is nothing to blame for this, in other words, when I was in my hometown, if it wasn't for being a cook, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to kill chickens and sheep." Everybody's upbringing is different, and I don't want you to have that kind of experience that will make you look at it without changing your face. ”

Yu Mingzhi smiled softly and bitterly, "It's all different now." ”

Qin Ji said: "You have me." ”

Yu Mingzhi smiled again meaninglessly, and turned his head to look at the clear blue sky.

Qin Ji didn't speak again and continued to move forward.

Soon, the scattered white tents came into view, obviously so many people came to the paddock, but it was quiet all around, and no sound could be heard, which was weird and frightening.

Qin Ji asked the young man to lead the horse away, and he took Yu Mingzhi to tiptoe to the westernmost small tent and stood behind a row of small trees.

It is a place to block out the sun, and if you can pay attention, you can hear the conversation in the tent.

Yu Mingzhi glanced at Qin Ji, and then focused on the sound of conversation in the tent.

"Li Aiqing, someone just told me that your nephew was arrested and put in prison by the government office?

Li Wangshan said bitterly: "Emperor Xie cares, Weichen's unsuccessful nephew really missed the killer and was arrested and put in prison. He is to blame, no wonder others. Helplessly, his father and mother wanted to take a look, but they were actually stopped by the people from the government office, saying that the case had not yet been tried and was not allowed to visit. ”

He took the opportunity to think about Jiang Jingzhao Yin and Yijun, but the emperor didn't buy it, and asked faintly: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, how did I hear that Aiqing's nephew appeared on the street with my imperial brother on the day of the crime?"
