Chapter 38 Peach
The woman lowered her head and whispered, "Gang Master Qiu, I'm sorry. It's useless for me, and I almost let King Rui see the clue. β
Qiu Fengwu sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it leisurely. "It's okay! I couldn't see anything in that tendon. β
"King Rui really values righteousness, after so many years, he still thinks about that incident in his heart, and it is not in vain that the master has worked so hard. If the deceased lord and son heard these words, they would be very pleased. The woman said with a look in her eyes.
"I want to... They must have known it for a long time. Qiu Feng was rarely upright, but unfortunately it was only a moment of effort, and he reverted to a cynical appearance, walked to the woman's side, and said with a smile: "Little Taowu, Xiao Taowu, I really underestimate you on weekdays." You're pretty good at lying to people! The momentum of this gang leader is very good! β
The woman's name is Taowu, and she was the maid by Yun Changyan's side back then. After the rebellion, she was demoted to a slave girl along with Changyan and exiled to another place. Later, the two were rescued by Qiu Feng by chance, Yun Changyan changed his name to Yin Muqing and mixed into the palace, while Taowu was responsible for staying outside the palace and responding at any time. Fang Cai Taowu lied that his name was Wu Tao and he was the leader of the Lingshan Gang, in order to hide people's eyes. Taowu blushed and said, "Don't make fun of me." These words were written down to me by the master in advance, and I have been reciting them for several days, for fear of a business trip. Why do you want me to pretend to be the leader of the Lingshan Gang? Gang Master Qiu, don't you just admit it? β
Qiu Feng knocked on Taowu's forehead and said falsely: "You are stupid! Liang Yinhuan has long known that there is someone behind me, if I sue him directly, I am the gang leader, so what is the true identity of the person behind me who can manipulate the Lingshan Gang? I'm afraid that no matter how stupid that tendon is, I have to be suspicious. It's better to put me in a lower position, and you, the 'helper', will come forward directly, and it will be logical to be a qiΔ." Your master is extremely smart, why is the girl you brought out so stupid?"
"I see." Taowu rubbed her sore head, and asked again, "By the way, the master, is my master okay now?" Sister Zhu Yu hasn't replied to me for a long time, when can I enter the palace to see the master? β
"Didn't I sue you last time I just came back from the palace! Mu Qing is very good, now is an extraordinary period, it is not suitable to enter the palace, you can wait. When the time comes, she'll naturally take you in. Qiu Feng waved his hand impatiently, and saw that the worry on the girl's face did not fade in the slightest, but became more and more solemn between her eyebrows. Qiu Feng asked, "What?" You don't believe me? β
"It's not that I don't believe in the helper. It's just....just Sister Zhuyu is more believable. Taowu whispered.
"You!" Qiu Feng was so angry that he bounced off the ground, pointed at Taowu and said angrily, "I can't believe it?!" Have you forgotten who saved you both?! It's really more unconscionable than the other, and I knew that I shouldn't have been nosy in the first place! β
"That's not what I meant. It's just because Dogwood hasn't replied to me for a long time, so I'm a little worried. β
Qiu Feng sat down angrily again, crossed Erlang's legs, and drank wine cup after glass, looking heartless. "Don't worry. Your master is fine! In the palace, you will be happy to eat and drink, and maybe one day you will all be forgotten. β
Taowu pouted, and a pair of brows were almost twisted together. "Stop talking nonsense, helper."
"Hey, you said you weren't weird. I said that she is not good, you give me a sad face, I say she is okay now, you give me a sad face again, do you want your master to be good or bad? β
was yelled at by Qiu Feng, and the tears in Taowu's eyes began to roll and slide down again, and the more she talked, the more sad she became. "The master asked Qu to stay with the dog emperor, and there is a group of jackals, tigers and leopards in the palace, how can it be good? Presumably, the master must be extra careful with every step he takes, thinking too much about her body..."
Qiu Feng scolded secretly in his heart, hurriedly interrupted the other party's crying, and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't think so much." There is Zhu Yu in the palace, she is very clever and good at martial arts, and she will not let your master be in danger. Besides, who is your master, it's good if she doesn't make people unlucky, how can she suffer? You can stay out in peace and do the errands that your master has given you, which is a great favor for your master. β
Momowu sniffed and cheered up, "Hmm." Then I'll pass on the book to the dogwood flying pigeon now. With that, he trotted out of the dark room.
In the Chenzhi Palace, Zhu Yu walked into the inner room with the flying pigeon book she had just received. "Niangniang, it's a flying pigeon from Taowu."
Mu Qing took the small note in Zhu Yu's hand and looked at it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became, and a pair of willow eyebrows frowned tightly. Seeing that the master's face was wrong, Zhu Yu couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's the matter?" Ruiwang found out? β
Mu Qing placed the letter paper in the candlestick, and the flame spread slowly between the thin sheets of paper until it was burned to ashes. "No, King Rui is not suspicious."
Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked puzzledly, "Since Taowu has successfully passed the test, why is Niangniang so worried?" β
Mu Qing coughed slightly, and it was late autumn, and the wind at night gradually became cold. Mu Qing gathered the cloak on his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Taowu said in the letter that King Rui asked the Lingshan Gang to review the case of Yun Xiang's conspiracy seven years ago. β
Zhu Yu was stunned, then a smile spread on her face, and she said happily: "Niangniang is really not mistaken, King Rui is really a person who values love and righteousness."
But unlike Dogwood's joy, the sorrow between Mu Qing's eyebrows became more and more intense, and even his face was a little whiter than before. "I'm just worried about his affection."
"Why did the mother say that?"
Mu Qing's eyes shone brightly, like two burning flames, contrasting with her pale face at this time, looking bewitching and weird. "This case is to be rehabilitated, but it must not be brought forward by King Rui. First, he was a person in the bureau who was deeply trapped back then, and his questioning was not very convincing, which inevitably made people think that King Rui intended to exonerate his comrades; Second, his first task when he came back this time was to gain Liang Yinhao's trust and return to the court. If he re-raises the old case, it will definitely make Liang Yinhao suspicious and guarded, and Huo Pei'an will grasp the sore foot, and all the efforts we have made will be in vain. β
Dogwood asked, "What then?" Sue King SΓΉrui directly, don't you meddle in this matter? β
"No, he's a stubborn person, if we try to persuade him as the Lingshan Gang, he won't listen." Mu Qing shook his head and said.
"Then why don't you tell him our true identity?" Zhu Yu blurted out without even thinking about it. But as soon as the words came out, Mu Qing immediately cast a warning gaze, and Zhu Yu quickly closed her mouth in amusement.
Mu Qing said coldly: "Fortunately, after all, after so many years, we can still use the evidence damage as a reason for the time being, and we can delay it for a while." As for the dusty old case, those unjust souls who died in vain will all be handed over to me to bear. β
