"Ahh

At midnight, Shen Moci's frightened and desperate screams filled the entire valley.

"Ah Ci ......"

King Ping grabbed Shen Moci and blocked him in front of him, but it was just a knee-jerk reaction in the face of a crisis. Since he was a child, his father and mother have taught him that he is a prince and his identity is different from ordinary people. When she was young, she lived in the palace, and her mother ordered someone to pull her out and scold her with a rod because the palace maid was unstable when serving the soup. To this day, he still clearly remembered the back of the palace maid who was beaten to a bloody blur, and her breathing that gradually weakened.

Although there are some words that no one says clearly, but under the influence of his ears and eyes, King Ping subconsciously feels that his life is more precious than others. Anything can be sacrificed to keep him safe. When Lu Jingyuan's knife tip poked at the door, he subconsciously grabbed something from the side to resist.

But why is it Ah Ci?

It is true that he attaches great importance to his own life, but King Ping has not hardened his heart to that point. Not to mention that Ah Ci is the most satisfied woman he has been with so far, just because she used all her heart to help him complete the task assigned by his father, she used all her heart to obtain the Shen family's hundred years of accumulation, and this kind of friendship also made him feel moved.

How could he hurt Ah Ci?

"Ah Ci, this king is just in a hurry, not intentionally."

For Shen Moci, these words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, whether intentionally or unintentionally, her face had been ruined. The hot pain on his face came, and he carefully touched the bleeding place, so long a scar was across his face, and he didn't say anything with this face in the future, and even appearing in front of people in the open became a luxury.

Now she really hopes that she can lose her mind, pounce on King Ping and beat him even again, hysterically venting her grief and anger in her heart, so happy.

However, since she could speak, she was forced by her aunt to please Shen Jinshan. As she grew older, she had become accustomed to calculating everyone. No matter how bad the situation, she will subconsciously weigh the pros and cons. Even if she is desperate and sad now, it is obvious that she wants to vent her feelings, but after screaming, she consciously began to think in her mind:

Disfigurement has become a fact, and it is certainly fun to make a big fuss, but what else can she do after the fuss? The Shen family can't go back, the reputation is gone, and even Xiang Zixin's appearance has been completely ruined now, what else does she have now? Now what she has seems to be the guilt of King Ping is left.

So why not retreat and take advantage of this guilt?

"Your Highness, my face." Covering his face, Shen Moci said sadly, the resentment in his words made King Ping's heart, who was already guilty, even more softened.

"Don't be afraid, Aci, this king will definitely find you the best doctor."

"Your Highness." Where the hand was not covered, Shen Moci's intact other one showed a little contradiction, but in the end, it all turned into sighs and gratitude.

Obviously, I want to pounce on it, bite and kick hard, and take revenge heartily, but when it comes to the end, my personal will still succumbs to the instinct cultivated over the years. The weak posture and the aggrieved tone made King Ping regret and hatred, regretting how he could catch Ah Ci in the first place, hating Lu Jingyuan for being so ruthless.

People are easy to forgive themselves, entangled in remorse, King Ping quickly forgave his mistakes, and turned to target Lu Jingyuan.

"You really stabbed down, this king is not only your uncle, but also the prince of the imperial court."

When he heard this, Shen Moci sighed in his heart, the master sent by the Emperor Taishang had already left, and now the camp was full of rotten drunks who had passed out in a coma, and even if these drunks woke up, they would be useless. Now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and no matter how hard they are, how can the little marquis be a vegetarian.

"Your Highness, forget it, fortunately, the little marquis only stabbed Ah Ci, you just have nothing to do."

Shen Moci was a newcomer, and he didn't know his extraordinary charm, and he also underestimated his status in King Ping's heart at this moment.

The more she endured, the heavier King Ping's guilt became, and even the more manly he became: "Ah Ci, rest assured, this king will definitely seek justice for you today." Lu Jingyuan, you ......"

"Huh?"

Pointed by his fingers, Lu Jingyuan hummed a single tone from his nose.

King Ping was a little nervous: "Ah Ci, she's just a weak woman, can you do it?" ”

"Weak woman?"

Lu Jingyuan was as if he had heard a big joke, "Not to mention whether she is a black widow or a weak woman, if you remember correctly, you will catch her and block her." Ben Hou is not a rough person, he originally just wanted to scare you, but suddenly a person appeared in front of the knife, and he couldn't hold back to cause such a tragedy. Otherwise, do you think that with Ben Hou's kung fu, she just blooms on her face? ”

While saying this, Lu Jingyuan looked at Shen Moci's face, and he not only deliberately confiscated his hand, but also deliberately controlled the angle, which happened to leave the longest and most obvious scar on her face. Not only that, but when he lowered the knife, he also controlled his strength, and the tip of the knife was slightly upturned. Switching angles left and right provokes a layer of skin, so that the originally thin scars are instantly widened.

With what he had learned from Kukai Master for many years, and with his world's top and rejuvenating medical skills, he could not remove such a visible scar.

But King Ping didn't know this, he just thought that Lu Jingyuan could defeat his father's personal secret guard, and his kung fu would definitely be good. If he really had murderous intent, Ah Ci would definitely have more than just a scar on his face. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that he hadn't lied to him, and the resentment that King Ping had managed to transfer was suddenly gone.

"Did I hurt Ah Ci?"

"Or else?"

No, it's certainly not him. Thinking that Ah Ci was so good to him, and that he was already injured and still comforting him, King Ping couldn't accept this fact.

"No, you hurt him. This king is the younger brother of the current emperor, and the prince of the imperial court. If you stab you with a knife, it is murder, and it is a great rebellion. ”

Right! That's it! Lu Jingyuan shouldn't have swung a knife at him, it was all his fault, and the remorse that King Ping could barely bear finally found a new reason.

Seeing his intentions clearly, Lu Jingyuan didn't say anything more, but directly glanced at the secret guard behind him. In King Ping's strong look, Lu Ping led the other three to step forward and easily captured him and Shen Moci.

"Lu Jingyuan, you are plotting rebellion!" King Ping said angrily.

Shen Moci frowned and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, a good man does not suffer immediate losses. ”

"Ah Ci, don't be afraid. When he returns to the capital, this king will definitely give birth to him. ”

You should say this after you return to the capital, and now in this situation, saying such things in front of the little marquis is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. Shen Moci was secretly anxious, but now that the mountains and rivers were exhausted, no matter how clearly she thought about it, there was no way.

"References? Originally, I only wanted to temporarily detain the two of you, but since His Royal Highness King Ping said so. Hello to you, don't get killed. ”

Among the secret guards who arrested the two were the two who tortured Song Qinwen yesterday. The two of them are proficient in all kinds of punishments, but since they followed the little Hou Ye, because the Hou Ye is too clever, they rarely have a chance to use their skills. After appetizing Song Qinwen yesterday, the addiction was hooked, and two more dishes were seen, and the two of them were like mosquitoes seeing blood.

"Yes."

Arching his fists and saying yes, he covered the mouths of King Ping and Shen Moci and dragged them down, and the two who were eager to try began to show their strengths.

The highest level of punishment lies in the fact that there are no traces on the surface, but it can make people hurt to the bones. After dragging the people to an inconspicuous tent, the guards dumb them down and stuffed strips of cloth in their mouths to prevent themselves from biting their tongues. Seeing this posture, even Lu Ping, who had experienced the training of the Dark Guard Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, couldn't bear it, turned his head and walked to the side of the tent, begging to be out of sight.

As soon as he was dragged into the tent, King Ping still felt that it was nothing when he was gagged. He has seen a lot of secret guards, but he is only a servant of his father, and they will not dare to do anything to him. But as the person in front of him snapped his fingers, he reached out and grabbed him by the shoulder, and with violent force, his fingers seemed to penetrate the pipa bone alive.

It hurts!

Father, mother, come and save your son.

King Ping's side is not bad, after all, he is the prince, and the secret guard always takes care of a little bit of proportion when he starts, but Shen Moci is not so good. What is the purpose of these secret guards and Lu Jingyuan coming to Qingcheng? Recruit military pay! So many people worked hard for nearly two months before and after, and it was not easy to complete the conscription banquet. Finally when it was time to bear fruit, Shen Moci first held a warm pot banquet and planned to cut off the beard halfway, but after being recognized by their wise and martial little marquis, he actually came to recruit the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, hollowing out the Shen family, leaving them with only an empty shelf.

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

I heard that she still has some festivals with the little marquis? No, it was she who provoked trouble several times, and Senior Sister Hou was generous and tolerant of people. Miss Hu doesn't care, they care, just new and old hatreds are counted together. As for the credit, they do good deeds without leaving a name.

The more I thought about it, the more the secret guard shot harder and heavier, the woman's body bones were not as strong as the man's, and Shen Moci had suffered many accidents, and she didn't rest well under her worries, so she couldn't afford to toss at all. She couldn't stand it after a few strokes, but her dumb was pointed, and she couldn't shout if she wanted to. I want to grit my teeth and endure it, and my mouth is stuffed with a footwrap full of fishy smell. When the pain was extreme and she felt that she was about to faint, there would always be a pair of hands that tapped her various acupoints in time, so that her gradually chaotic spirit could be restored.

The 36,000 pores of her body were crying out for pain, and when she was conscious, she felt that every minute of her life was so long.

It shouldn't be like this, obviously a month ago she was still the head of the female school of Donglin Academy, and she was a filial and capable daughter, and she took care of the Shen family's business in an orderly manner; Outside, her image of both talent and virtue has become a success, and she is praised by the people of Qingcheng. At that time, she already knew that Mo Daru would soon come to Donglin Academy to give a lecture, and she had secretly prepared a way to solve the equation.

According to the earlier arrangement, she should be accepted as an apprentice by Mo Daru, and while her reputation is further enhanced, she will befriend Pan Zhizhou. Then through this inverted spring cold, she got black charcoal from Pan Zhizhou, and borrowed Song Qinwen's hands to get the mulberry silkworm leaves of the Hu family's thousands of acres of mulberry forest. Shen Jinshan came forward to control all the raw silk in Qingcheng and forced Hu Jiuling to enter Beijing.

And then......

Many clips flashed in Shen Moci's mind, although she couldn't see it really, she could feel that everything was going according to her expectations.

Beads of sweat ran down her forehead and into the unscabbed wound on her face, and a real tingling sensation came to awaken her blurred senses. A smell of urine came, mixed with the sound of farting and shitting, and under repeated torture, King Ping, who was in extreme panic, was already incontinent.

The dim tent, the smelly smell, and the cold-faced secret guard next to her were completely different from what she had imagined.

Why did she become the way she is?

No matter how heavy the physical torture is, it is not as good as the psychological torture and torture. The gap between imagination and reality is too great, and at this moment, an indescribable sense of frustration rose in Shen Moci's heart. Lying on her stomach under the torture of the secret guards, she closed her eyes and fell completely into darkness, and her whole body was shrouded in a dead air.

Let her die, what's the point of living like this?

There was a burst of pain, and with a sense of frustration in her heart, now she truly understood what it meant to be better off to live.

Her will to die was so obvious that even Lu Ping, who was standing by the door, could feel it. No wonder the little marquis specially instructed to "don't get killed", it seems that his old man had already expected this. Hou Ye is so young, he hasn't even married a daughter-in-law, isn't it a bit inappropriate to call him an old man? No matter, in short, the little marquis is wise and martial.

Lu Jingyuan, who was once again over-supplemented by his subordinates, was leading people to thoroughly investigate the entire valley at this moment.

The most powerful guards in the valley were the people sent by the Empress Taishang, and after they left, the entire valley was almost in empty defense. What kind of master has what kind of slave, King Ping is not a hard bone, let alone expect how powerful and unyielding the people who follow him are. Almost as soon as King Ping was taken away, the other people who had been secretly paying attention to the movement here hurriedly walked out and explained everything clearly like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Lu Jingyuan took over the account books and the housing deeds that had not yet had time to be processed. After opening it and scanning it twice, he nodded when he found that there was nothing wrong.

"Go ahead, get this done first."

"Master Hou?" The visitor looked at him suspiciously.

Lu Jingyuan copied King Ping's words just now: "His Royal Highness King Ping is the younger brother of the current emperor, and the prince of the imperial court. Don't...... You don't listen to him? ”

"But His Highness ordered us to secretly dispose of the Shen family's property."

Throwing the deed in his hand on the table next to him, Lu Jingyuan looked at the account room, "Want this?" To you guys! According to King Ping's words, everything is here, and you are limited to finish it within two days. ”

"Two days ......" This is too rushed, the deadline given to them by King Ping is half a decade, which is twice as much as now.

"Huh?"

Lu Jingyuan looked over suspiciously, although his face was calm and he didn't say anything cruel, but the young man in a dark robe stood there, which was invisibly giving people pressure.

"The little one will live up to the Hou Ye...... No, it was ordered by His Royal Highness King Ping. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Jingyuan turned around and left. King Ping enjoyed it, and the main tent of the camp was very luxurious. Lu Jingyuan went in and took a turn, and successfully found King Ping's private seal from the pillow. Disgustedly, he glanced at the water stains flowing from behind the screen, and was about to turn away, when he heard movement behind the screen, he kicked it over and saw Song Qinwen hiding behind the wolf.

"Why are you here?"

"Master Hou."

Song Qinwen sneaked over to see Shen Moci, there were many people during the day, which was inevitably refreshing, so he could only come over in the middle of the night. But before he could sneak into the tent, he heard the sound of Jin Ge colliding outside. Just wanted to go out to protect Ah Ci, but the moment he turned his head, he saw two familiar figures. It was none other than the two people who tortured him in every way on Dongshan last night.

A man's temperament is like water dripping on a red-hot soldering iron, and it disappears at the moment of pumping. Subconsciously fled into the tent, clumping his slightly aching body into a ball, he shrank quietly behind the screen, and he didn't dare to come out.

This will be seen by the little marquis, and his whole person is even more like a quail, standing in front of him with his head bowed and his neck shrunk.

"Don't go to save Shen Moci?"

Save! Of course he wants to save it, but what can he save?

Thinking of this, Song Qinwen pounced and knelt at his feet: "Master Hou, I know that you are doing this all for your cousin." ”

How would he know? Although he has been helping that girl, Lu Jingyuan asked himself if he was doing it secretly. After all, he came to recruit military salaries, and it was reasonable to be friendly to the Hu family, the most influential silk merchant in Qingcheng. Even he deceived the girl, but he didn't expect to be seen by Song Qinwen.

Did he really have no intention of that girl?

"But now that Ah Ci is like this, she can't hurt her cousin anymore, you can raise your noble hand and let her go, I'll kowtow to you."

Although he is not ruthless, his friendship with that girl is just that. After seeing it, a flash of calculation flashed in Lu Jingyuan's heart.

"The man has gold under his knees, seeing that you are sincere, Ben Hou can let her live. But there is no pie in the sky, and you need to do something. ”

Ah Ci is saved! Ah Ci helped him so many times, and he was finally able to help her, and Song Qinwen hurriedly assured under the excitement: "Please also ask the Hou Ye to instruct, Qinwen will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”

Looked at by his eager eyes, Lu Jingyuan only felt a wave of nausea. What kind of vision did that girl have, she would have fallen in love with such a person in her previous life. After the disdain, he was a little complacent, this candidate is not better than him, as long as the girl is not blind, she must know how to choose.

"Later, Benhou will send you back to Qingcheng, as long as you go back and insist that the theft of the Shen family was done by King Ping, Benhou will let Shen Moci go back in three days."

Ah Ci was committed to King Ping to save him, Song Qinwen did not hate Shen Moci, but he was resentful of King Ping who "took advantage of the situation and took it by force". And this matter is inseparable from King Ping, and testifying can not only save Aci, but also breathe a sigh for himself, which Song Qinwen only feels a little unrealistic.

"That's it...... It's that simple? ”

"Yes, don't mention this candidate, otherwise Shen Moci ......"

Disaster leads to the east, and Song Qinwen finally understands. Thinking of Ah Ci's comfort, he nodded solemnly.

After talking to him, Lu Jingyuan took him out, and when he passed by the tent next to him, he handed over the silk seal of King Ping to the account room by the way, and then ordered the secret guard to send him back to the city. Standing on the cliff, looking at the two people gradually walking away on the mountain road in the moonlight, Lu Jingyuan fell into deep thought.

When he was teaching on behalf of the teacher before the apprenticeship ceremony, looking at the exquisite atmosphere in the Fuqu Pavilion that did not lose the ornaments of the Hou Mansion at all, he faintly expected that the Hu family's wealth might not be more than what he had confiscated from the Shen family in his previous life. During this time, he secretly observed, and gradually determined this point from the details of Hu Mansion's furnishings and A-Yao's food and clothing, until today, Hu Jiuling took out 1.5 million taels without care, and he finally determined it completely.

In his previous life, he had already investigated very carefully, and after raiding the Shen family, he felt that something was wrong. I was just going to continue the investigation, but I suddenly fell victim to someone else's plot, and when I woke up again, I was already reborn.

Before, he only thought that it was because there were too many enemies, after all, the matter of the Hu family in the court had been closed, and he had no solid evidence. But after being reborn, things have developed step by step to such a point, and the feeling in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, it must be something that the people behind the scenes want to cover up.

What is it?

The only clues in the two lives before and after are Song Qinwen and Shen Moci, who embezzled the Hu family's wealth in their previous lives, even if he wants them to die again, now he has to spare their lives.

The figure on the mountain road disappeared completely, and after thinking about it, Lu Jingyuan retracted his gaze, he did not go back, but walked out along the valley, until he walked to the edge of 123. Not long after he walked past, when the Oriental Morning Star lit up, a boat came from the riverside. From the surface of the river, the boat is inconspicuous, but when you go up on a small boat, you will find that the boat is full of glowing black charcoal.

"Go to Qingcheng Wharf."

===――

Under the same moonlight, the Shen family's mansion was also very unpeaceful.

After making a fool of himself in front of everyone in Qingcheng in the afternoon, Rao is Shen Jinshan couldn't hold back no matter how thick-skinned he was. Glaring at Sun fiercely, he walked back to the Shen family angrily. He has a habit, but when his mood is not good, he likes to hold the box containing the Shen family's house deed and chatter.

This will make his heart not only unpleasant, but simply blocked. So he didn't just chatter, he opened the box.

This opening is terrible, and the half-box deed inside is gone. For a miser, this kind of blow is far heavier than saying all the humiliating things he has done over the years in front of the people of Qingcheng, and his whole face has been completely ripped off. As the world was spinning, he saw the clip that had fallen in the corner of the box.

"Sun!"

With the nursing home, he walked to the back house angrily, and the Sun family would not suffer this dumb loss, the maid and woman in the backyard were in front, and the husband and wife of the whole house staged a war of words again. After a fierce debate, it was finally figured out that it was Shen Moci who made the ghost.

"It's not that you're used to the house, and the little goblin born to her." Sun cursed Shen Jinshan for spoiling his concubine and killing his wife.

"Obviously, I have driven her back to her ancestral hometown, and you haven't brought her back yet, don't even think about running away about the theft." Shen Jinshan pointed at his wife's nose, as if looking at an enemy.

Fortunately, the husband and wife each had their own ghosts, the former wanted to quickly grasp the warehouse, and the latter wanted to find Shen Moci quickly, and the battle finally didn't quarrel.

Then the two separated, one quietly infiltrated the warehouse, and the other sent people around to find out the news. The hard work paid off, and finally in the second half of the night, Shen Jinshan heard that Song Qinwen was sent back to the city. Ignoring the curfew, he hurried over to stop him, but the result of the question made his heart cold.

King Ping forced Ah Ci to steal most of the Shen family's house deeds.
