Chapter 331: The Scapegoat
Zi'er took Beichen Luo's hand, and the two were about to leave, Ouyang Ping saw this and was anxious to stop them, but as soon as he moved, he immediately exclaimed loudly in pain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zi'er looked at the pain on Ouyang Ping's face, and a cold smile rose at the corner of her lips, is this unbearable? The poison she developed will only hurt the most after three days.
"Ouyang Ping, I don't mind telling you in advance, the poison you are in will be the most painful on the third day after the poisoning. In other words, the pain you are suffering today is not the most painful. ”
Ouyang Ping listened to what Zi'er said, and almost became scared. It's already so painful now, and it's the most painful time after three days, so how painful should it be? He wasn't sure he could still handle that kind of pain.
"Well, we came here so late just to see how painful you are, and after seeing you, we finally didn't come in vain, watching the people I hate endure unbearable pain, I wondered if I should be happy."
After that, Zi'er didn't pay attention to Ouyang Ping anymore, and took Beichen Luo's hand and walked out of the house, the air outside was still good, just now in the house, how could she endure the weird atmosphere in the house?
"Ding Princess, Ding Wangye,"
Seeing that the two of them were really leaving, Ouyang Ping couldn't care about the pain in his body, and hurriedly chased them out, wanting to stop them.
Zi'er and Beichen Luo didn't really leave in a hurry, if they could bring back all the people Ouyang Ping had captured, it would save a lot of trouble, if not, let him continue to hurt.
Zi'er and Beichen Luo discussed early in the morning, if Ouyang Ping didn't agree to release them, they wouldn't give an antidote. I don't believe that with such a difficult and painful poison, Ouyang Ping can endure such painful torture all the time?
"Ouyang Ping, don't waste each other's time, okay? Your current physical state, it's better not to move too much, otherwise it will only hurt more and more.
The day after Princess Fengyi was attacked, the investigation of the disappearance of those people asked Jing Zhaoyin's people to assist Zhen Guogong in investigating it, Zhen Guogong is an official of the imperial court, and he can't be like Zi'er and Beichenluo, there is no need to be afraid of the emperor and be afraid of the majesty of the emperor.
And even if the emperor doesn't order him to check, he will go to check in private, after all, if he comes back a little later that night, Princess Fengyi will probably be taken captive.
The person he cared about the most was murdered like this, how could Zhen Guogong do nothing?
The inner ghost of the Zhenguo Mansion was quickly found out, but unfortunately he was not tortured and questioned, so he was allowed to take poison and commit suicide, so nothing could be asked from the mouth of the inner ghost.
Zi'er and Beichenluo didn't interfere in the disappearance of those people before, because they didn't think they needed it yet, and almost all of those people were poisoned at that time, and Zi'er helped solve them. At that time, they also wanted to see the emperor's ability, although they both knew the emperor's ability, but they also wanted to see how much the emperor could do in this matter.
It's just that I didn't expect that after so many days, not only did things not progress, but the emperor would also hand over such a matter to the Zhenguo Gong, who was in charge of the military power, to investigate, and when Zi'er and Beichenluo learned the news, they didn't want to say anything to the emperor anymore. The matter that should have been the Criminal Department and Jing Zhaoyin was handed over to a general, and the nature of this work was too large.
Now that time has dragged on for a long time, since those people are blocking the door today, it is better to let those people go back tonight. Just let people know how powerful the Dingwang Mansion is.
If the emperor knew what Zi'er and Beichen Luo thought, he would probably be so angry that he wanted to hang himself. The emperor will hope that his men will rescue the missing people as soon as possible and find out the matter. But the emperor definitely doesn't want to save people back is the king, and the king is the king who finds out about this matter.
No matter what King Ding and Princess Ding thought, Ouyang Ping's physical pain made him unable to hold on anymore, looking at King Ding and Qin Zi'er who did not turn around, Ouyang Ping had more resentment in his heart, and when he was almost unable to stand on his feet, he agreed to Zi'er and King Ding's request.
"Lord Ding, Princess Ding, I'll put the person back immediately, and you give me the antidote."
He couldn't bear the pain in his body for a quarter of an hour, if Qin Zi'er didn't appear in front of him tonight, if he didn't know that Qin Zi'er in front of him had an antidote in his hand, Ouyang Ping might be able to last a little longer, but now, knowing that the antidote that could relieve his pain was within reach, how could he endure it?
Hearing Ouyang Ping's words, Zi'er and Beichen Luo glanced at each other, a few pieces of land crossed in their eyes, only they understood each other's light, turned around, glanced at Ouyang Ping, and walked directly back to the place where they were sitting just now and sat down.
"If you had said yes earlier, the pain in your body would have been relieved a long time ago. Originally, you promised to put those people back
, it's over, it's just that after these people go back, everyone will know who rescued them. Now that they know that the person who saved them is King Ding, then the emperor and those who have lost their children will definitely ask, who took the people away and then poisoned the girls in the house?
When the time comes, Ouyang Ping, do you say we should tell the truth? Tell you Ouyang Ping that you are the one who killed them behind the scenes? Or should we take you down now and press you to give the emperor an errand? ”
Originally, after rescuing these people from Ouyang Ping's hands, Beichen Luo and Zi'er had a way to deal with the next situation, but now they were happy to push this matter to Ouyang Ping. I believe that Ouyang Ping will not want the imperial court to oppose him, and these powerful people in Shangjing will oppose him.
Maybe he, Ouyang Ping, is not afraid of the emperor or these powerful families, but he doesn't want to get into so much trouble. So if he wants to avoid these troubles, he has to sweep his tail clean.
Ouyang Ping's eyes flashed, and his mood was even worse, he finally caught those people in his hands, and now because of Qin Zi'er's poison, he has to say goodbye and work hard, not only did he not take advantage of it at all, but he also hurt himself for so long.
Just think about it, he is not reconciled.
But he could also hear the threat in Qin Zi'er's words just now, and now of course he didn't want to get into trouble with the court, not because he was afraid of what the court would do to him, but in the end, he would also give him a lot of trouble. Moreover, those families are intertwined, and their power cannot be underestimated, so even if I don't want to agree to this matter, I have to agree.
Qin Zi'er wanted him to push people out, this was to make him reluctant and had to let his subordinates go to death, Ouyang Ping felt aggrieved for the first time.
Maybe it's not the first time, since he met King Ding and Qin Zi'er, which time has he been able to please him? Fortunately, Ouyang Ruru is not his own granddaughter, otherwise, he would be even more eager to kill the two people in front of him.
"Ouyang Ping, just rely on you, if you want to kill us in this life, it's not that I look down on you, but you really don't have that ability, next time you dare to be presumptuous in front of us, hehe, we must not mind killing you."
Ouyang Ping's murderous aura that flashed just now could not be hidden from Zi'er and Beichenluo, if the two of them were so dull, it is estimated that they would have been succeeded by those who wanted to assassinate them.
Ouyang Ping was shocked, he was just a fleeting thought just now, and he didn't even think that the thought just now would make him have killing intent, he knew very well that even if he wanted to kill these two people in his heart just now, he would definitely not move to kill at this time.
It can only be said that these two people are not ordinary sensitive to danger, and it is no wonder that he has sent so many people to assassinate the two of them, but he has never taken advantage of them.
"Princess Ding misunderstood, I definitely didn't mean that." Ouyang Ping could only explain, although he knew very well that Qin Zi'er and King Ding didn't believe it.
Zi'er snorted coldly, "Tomorrow morning, you will send people back, and then write down your people and things clearly, you have to remember that if you don't collect the tail in the back well, then we will rely on our will and tie you directly to the emperor." ”
When Zi'er and Beichen Luo returned to Dingwang's Mansion, it was dawn in less than two hours, Beichen Luo didn't plan to sleep, and he had to exercise in the morning later, but Zi'er forced him to sleep for more than an hour, so he got up late today.
After the two of them had breakfast, they got the news that the missing sons and sons had returned home, but Ouyang Ping didn't torture them, except for a few people who were weaker, everyone else was fine.
Then the people below also brought Ouyang Ping's people to Zi'er and Beichen Luo, and the person in the lead also took out a letter and handed it to King Ding.
Zi'er looked at the leading man kneeling in front of them, he was of medium height, his face looked a little grim, and most importantly, there was a scar from the corner of his eyebrow to the right earlobe, which made people scared at the sight.
Ouyang Ping seemed to be really reluctant to hand over any useful people, the person in front of him, although he looked fierce, but his ability and martial arts were not very good, and there were two people behind him, one of whom was still sick.
Is Ouyang Ping planning to hand over this useless person to himself to help him deal with it?
He's worry-free.
After letting the three people take them down, Beichen Luo asked people to take down all the people in Ouyang Ping's nearest stronghold, and then directly pressed the people to Jingzhao Mansion.
You can't bear the talents under your hands, right? Wait for yourself to help him dispose of the waste, right?
The corners of Zi'er's lips hooked up a sneer, the stronghold that Beichen Luo had destroyed, but Ouyang Ping was the most powerful force in Shangjing City, presumably Ouyang Ping, who had now received the news, was probably so angry that he vomited blood.
Of course, the people in that stronghold will not admit that it has anything to do with those missing sons and brothers, they didn't do it in the first place, of course they won't admit it, and those people also feel that they are really wronged. Because of that incident, Ouyang Ping didn't let them participate, and they naturally wouldn't know.
Beichen Luo asked people to send news to Ouyang Ping, and the person he wanted was his person who was the largest stronghold in the capital. It is conceivable that Ouyang Ping first got the news that he was picked by someone in the largest stronghold in Shangjing, and he was investigating who was so bold and capable, and he was the most person in a short period of time. Before he could find out, he received a letter from King Ding.
This time, there is no need to check, and I understand the meaning of the king. But if you really want him to give up those who are most useful, he really can't bear it.
It's just that now that everyone is in the hands of King Ding, even if he is reluctant, it is impossible for those people to come back alive. I'm afraid that the court didn't want those people's lives, and the prince would not let them have the possibility of living.
Since they can't let people live, there is no need to go against King Ding, who knows if he doesn't agree, what King Ding will do next?
If it wasn't those three people who he sent to Dingwangfu today, but a few others, or a more powerful one, and two or three more people, it is estimated that Dingwang would not send someone to take his stronghold and send all the people in the stronghold to the cell.
Fortunately, those people have no chance to live, otherwise let them know that they are coaxing them, and they will probably cause trouble for themselves.
Ouyang Ping just made those people confess, whatever the yamen said, they would admit anything, Ouyang Ping would rescue them, and they would be fine.
Of course those people believed their master's words, and they believed in their master's ability, thinking that he had a way to get them out of his cell.
Holding the letter that Ouyang Ping wrote to his subordinates, Beichen Luo smiled coldly, is he really good at coaxing people? The people who fell into the hands of him Beichen Luo, still want to get a good deal?
Is it possible?
However, when Beichen Luo went to interrogate those people, he directly showed them the letter that Ouyang Ping gave them, and of course it was Ouyang Ping's instructions.
And those people are also quite loyal, they will do what their master commands, so when they draw the charge, Beichen Luo said that they will be beheaded at noon tomorrow.
Hearing the words of King Ding, those people were still not afraid, even if they were to be beheaded at noon tomorrow, the master would definitely rescue them at noon tomorrow.
How could Beichen Luo not see what these people were thinking? I just don't know how they will feel when they learn that their master has completely abandoned them a long time ago?
"Did your master say that after you explain the matter clearly, just wait for him to rescue you?"
At this time, in addition to Ouyang Ping's people in the cell, there were only Beichen Luo and a henchman beside him.
Ouyang Ping's people looked at King Ding, who was sitting outside the cell, and their expressions were a little more vigilant, could it be that the master's letter was stolen? Otherwise, how would the king know that his master would save them?
"Do you think that with this king here, your master has the power to deliver you from his hand?"
Everyone still didn't speak, but their hearts were constantly sinking, of course they didn't have confidence, not only was Dingwang's martial arts higher than his master's, but no one knew how powerful Dingwang's Mansion was.
"When the king took you down, your master gave you up. The reason why you will be asked to confess everything is just so that you can confess the crime and not involve him. ”
It seems that the people under Ouyang Ping are not completely useless, and they really deserve to be the biggest stronghold in Shangjing, and these people, if they are cultivated a little, they still have to be used.
It's just that Beichen Luo will certainly not use these people.
Everyone didn't speak, but they were all thinking to themselves, what did the king's words mean? Is what he said true or false?
Doing things for the master, even if they lose their lives, they will not frown, but if they are coaxed by the master like this, how can they not have a pimple in their hearts?
"Even if you don't have to die tomorrow, your master will not let you live, so if you still want to wait for your master to save you and give you a chance to live, then the king can only say that you are doomed to be disappointed. This king never deceives people, so if you don't believe it, then see if your master will send someone tonight. Rest assured, this cell today will look very lax, and if there is a heart to save you, there will be a chance to get you out. ”
It's just that after you are rescued, you will also be captured.
After Beichen Luo finished speaking, he stood up and left. Of course, he wouldn't have said such a lot of things for no reason just now, and when tonight passes, tomorrow, he may be able to get something unexpected.
After lunch the next day, Beichen Luo once again stepped into the cell, those who were locked up were in very poor spirits, it seemed that all of them had not slept last night. Come to think of it, where can they sleep? They must have been waiting for their master to send someone to rescue them, but unfortunately, as time passed little by little, until dawn, not a single rat broke into this cell.
As the prince of Tongding said last night, their master has given up on them.
"Time is running out, the last meal of this life, you all have enough to eat."
Beichen Luo asked people to bring in all the food boxes, and in addition to meat, there was also wine. Of course, everyone understands what Beichen Luo means, they will be beheaded at noon today, isn't it the last full meal.
"Actually, you may not know very well what your master does, do you just think that Ouyang Ping is a martial arts person, and his martial arts are very high."
Beichen Luo's words made the movements of the hands of those who were eating pause slightly, and no one answered despite Ou.
Of course, Beichen Luo didn't need them to speak now, and they didn't say it, just as he expected. "There are not many people who have died at the hands of your master, and perhaps you will think that it is not surprising that your master's status and status have killed people, and even killed many, many people. Like this king, there are not many who die at the hands of this king.
It's just that this king has never killed an innocent person, and in the hands of this king, he has never saved anyone who died in vain. As for your master, the forces under his command are really from all sides. In fact, you should be glad that your master took a fancy to him and was able to keep you. If you want to say that with your master's status and martial arts, even if you kill someone by mistake, it will not make people feel that there is anything wrong.
But if your master did not kill people by mistake, but he knew that those people were innocent, he could do the same, and even the number of innocent people who died in his hands is unknown. What's even more cruel is that he used those innocent ordinary people to recuperate their bodies with Gu worms, and then killed them who had recuperated their bodies and used them to make Gu corpses, as for what is a Gu corpse? It is to use Gu worms to raise the dead people, and use Gu worms to control those who have died, a cruel method for several people. Let people die, and there will be no peace. ”
When those people heard Beichen Luo's words, they all stared at him in shock, Gu corpse? This was the first time they had heard of it, and if it wasn't for King Ding's explanation, of course they wouldn't know what a Gu corpse was? I don't know how the Gu corpse got it?
It turned out to be that Gu worms were placed on the bodies of dead people, and Gu worms were used to control the dead people, and those who died had to use Gu worms to recuperate before they were alive?
Just thinking about it makes people's hearts furious, damn what a cruel and vicious person can make such a means? If King Ding didn't say it, they really couldn't imagine that their master would be such a vicious person.
In fact, Beichen Luo has already asked people to check Ouyang Ping's stronghold in Shangjing City and other places, but the people in this stronghold in Shangjing City are not bad, they are just investigating and collecting news and doing some business.
These people didn't have access to the core of Ouyang Ping's forces, so they didn't know what Ouyang Ping had done. And Beichen Luo said so much to these people, it was also his intention.
As for what the intention is, we must wait for these people to fully understand Ouyang Ping, and then look at their reactions, before we can determine whether his purpose can be achieved.
"Actually, you should be glad that your qualifications make your master look down on you, if your physical fitness is in line and you can use your body to make the best Gu corpse, some of you are estimated to have to rely on a worm to support your body."
