Chapter Seventy-Nine: Cutting Off the Clues
Early the next morning, Little Orange woke up.
After he woke up, he grabbed Shi Mo in a daze and asked, "Where is the little princess?" ”
Shi Mo immediately said, "It's good if you wake up, the little princess said that you can wake up today, and now she and the little prince are in the courtyard behind." ”
Little Orange raised his hand and gave himself a slap, and suddenly "snapped", and five finger prints appeared on his face.
Shi Mo was taken aback, "Why are you beating yourself?" ”
"It hurts, I'm not dreaming, am I?" Little Orange touched her face and really felt the pain.
Shi Mo sighed, "No, Miss is really not dead, now at this hour, it's time to wake up, you can go to see Miss and the little prince now." ”
"It's good that the little princess is really not dead." As he spoke, Little Orange rushed out of the house and ran out, "I'll go now." ”
Shi Mo hurriedly called out to him, "I'll take you there." ”
When they came to the courtyard where Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua lived, the two had indeed woken up and were eating.
After the little orange came, he rushed straight into the house, saw Xie Fanghua, and after blinking his eyes a few times, he knelt on the ground with a "poof", "Little princess, it's the slave who didn't take care of you." ”
Xie Fanghua looked at him and sighed, "It's me who was careless, what's the matter with you?" Hurry up. ”
"The minion thought you were dead, if it hadn't been digging with Master Li, the minion would have followed you." Little Orange had red circles in her eyes, her voice was hoarse, and she said in a choked voice, "It's good that you're okay." ”
Xie Fanghua waved his hand again, "Hurry up, it's just a false alarm, I'm fine." ”
The little orange still doesn't get up, "the slave is useless, and there is a ...... to the emperor"
"Are you blind? Don't you see Ye here? Qin Zheng finally couldn't help but speak.
Xiao Chengzi's voice suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, and hurriedly stopped talking, "The slave asks for peace to the little prince." ”
Qin Zheng snorted coldly, "In the future, take care of things with your eyes, see clearly, Qin Yu will give you to the little princess, if you don't allow you, I can give you a sword now." ”
The little orange's face suddenly became bitter, "The little prince is angry, the slave thinks that the little princess is really in trouble, and now he knows that the little princess is fine, so happy." Forgot about you for a while......"
"Did you send a message to Qin Yu in the capital?" Qin Zheng asked.
Little Orange shook his head, "I haven't dared to send a message to the emperor." ”
Qin Zheng nodded and waved his hand at him, "Get out, don't cry and mourn when you have nothing to do in the future, and don't always send a message to Qin Yu if you have nothing to do, if you let the master know, beware of your little life." ”
The little orange suddenly didn't dare to cry with a sad face, nodded, and stood up. Although he was bluffed by Qin Zheng, he was also happy in his heart, the little princess was not dead, and the little princess also allowed him to stay with the little princess.
After breakfast, Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua went to see Li Muqing.
Li Muqing still didn't wake up.
After Xie Fanghua checked Li Muqing's pulse, he said to Qin Zheng, "He is really ...... I'm afraid I'll have to wait two days before I wake up. ”
Qin Zheng nodded.
After the two of them left the courtyard where Li Muqing lived, Qin Zheng waved his hand to beckon the little orange and asked him, "Where are the heads of the desperate Li family and those people of the desperate Li family locked up by Li Muqing?" ”
"It's in the secret prison of the Zheng family's mansion in Xingyang, and it's strictly guarded." Little Orange Road.
Qin Zheng turned his head to Xie Fanghua and asked in a low voice, "Are you still tired today?" ”
Xie Fanghua shook his head, "I'm not tired." ”
Yesterday he didn't pester her anymore and tired her, he rested day and night, and his complexion and spirit were much better.
"Then let's take a trip to Xingyang City?" Qin Zheng asked.
Xie Fanghua bowed, "Okay." ”
The two discussed properly, so they instructed the housekeeper to prepare a carriage, leaving the waiter to take care of Li Muqing, and the waiter Mo and Xiaochengzi followed, and went out of Zheng Xiaoyang's other pile.
Zheng Xiaoyang's other pile is a few miles away from Xingyang City, not far, and it will arrive in half an hour.
Along the way, there were not many people.
When I came to Xingyang City, the city gate opened, and the people in the city gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the news that Xie Fanghua was not dead.
For Xie Fanghua not to die, the people are obviously extremely happy, compared to the low and depressing atmosphere inside and outside Xingyang City two days ago, today's atmosphere is obviously relaxed, and it seems that the dark clouds hanging overhead have disappeared.
Some people say that Master Zhao of Xingyang City Mansion is a big bad person, and he is the little princess he harmed.
Some people say that the Zheng family in Xingyang was originally the same as the desperate Li family, colluding with the Northern Qi Dynasty and betraying the country to seek glory, so it ended up in this fate. Although the Xingyang Zheng family was not wiped out like the desperate Li family, the promising heirs of the Xingyang Zheng family, except for the patriarch and the eldest prince in Beijing, are almost dead, this is retribution.
For a time, there were different opinions.
Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua's carriage entered Xingyang City and headed straight for Xingyang Zheng's family.
Xingyang City has been locked down for several days, and those who have not obtained the token are not allowed to be released.
A carriage suddenly came in today, and the people looked at it curiously. The carriage had no signs, and the curtain was not raised, and it went straight to the Zheng family's mansion in Xingyang in a low-key manner.
Coming to the Zheng family's mansion in Xingyang, Xiao Chengzi stepped forward to open the curtain, Qin Zheng got out of the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to pull Xie Fanghua out of the car.
The Zheng family's mansion in Xingyang was just as dry as when Xie Fanghua, Qin Zheng, and Zheng Xiaoyang came out of the desperate organ that day. In such a summer, the hot sun shines in, and there is no warmth in it, and there is only a sense of coldness.
Qin Zheng clasped Xie Fanghua's hand tightly and walked towards the living room.
In the living room of the main courtyard, where the mourning hall was placed earlier, the coffin had already been removed.
Little Orange followed behind the two and whispered, "Because it is too hot in summer, Lord Li ordered that the coffins of the dead be removed to the dark room of the Zheng family's ancestral hall in Xingyang, and ice was taken from the cellar to keep them cold, so that the dead bodies could not be allowed to rot." ”
Qin Zheng let out an "um" sound.
Where the coffins had been placed earlier, a mound of earth and stones, about the height of a two-story building, was piled up.
Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua walked closer, only to see that behind the mound was a sinkhole that had been dug for more than ten meters.
Xie Fanghua pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, this sinkhole is Li Muqing's masterpiece, you can imagine how he led someone to dig such a big and deep sinkhole in the place of this desperate mechanism when he thought she was dead.
How to repay this affection?
Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to straighten Xie Fanghua's body and pulled him away, "Don't look at it." ”
Xie Fanghua has no objection.
Xiao Chengzi immediately said, "The place where the desperate Li family is being held is not far away. When the words fell, he led the way.
The two of them came to the place where the head of the desperate Li family and those few people were imprisoned, it was a firewood room, this firewood room had no door, and there were dozens of secret guards guarding the surroundings and the door.
Seeing Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua coming, everyone saluted together.
Qin Zheng waved his hand and looked inside with Xie Fanghua.
I saw one man lying on the ground, and the rest were sitting or leaning against each other.
"Which person is Li Xiao?" Qin Zheng asked.
"The man who was lying." Someone answered.
"Wake him up." Qin Zheng glanced at those people and said lightly.
A guard immediately went in and shouted Li Xiao.
The rest of the desperate Li family saw two young men and women, the jade pendant on Qin Zheng's waist showed his noble identity, and Xie Fanghua's appearance was no longer mysterious since Lin'an City saved more than 100,000 people. Therefore, several people showed shocked expressions in unison.
Qin Zheng actually appeared here unharmed?
Xie Fanghua didn't die?
It's not that ......
Even if the news that Xie Fanghua was not dead outside, the Baixin people already knew about it, but in the firewood room of the Zheng family's mansion in Xingyang, the guards were under guard, and naturally they would not tell these people from the desperate Li family.
For a moment, they were so frightened that they couldn't speak.
The guard pushed Li Xiao twice, Li Xiao didn't move, and turned him over on his side lying inside, only to see his eyes closed, the guard used his hand to probe his snort, the person was out of breath, he was stunned, got up and looked at Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua, "Little prince, little princess, Li Xiao is dead." ”
"He's dead?" Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes.
"His subordinates can't detect his breath." The Guardian Road.
Qin Zheng stepped forward, squatted down, and reached out to probe Li Xiao's snort, completely breathless. He turned his head to look at Xie Fanghua.
Xie Fanghua stepped forward, checked Li Xiao up and down, and nodded to Qin Zheng, "Yes, he died." ”
"How can this be?" The subordinates and others have been strictly guarded, and no one came here, for fear that the Li family's manufacturing mechanism would be powerful, so they were not locked in the secret room, but only locked in this open firewood room, so that they could be watched and strictly guarded.
"He died last night, biting his tongue and killing himself." Xie Fanghua stretched out his hand and broke Li Xiao's chin, and suddenly, his mouth was full of coagulated blood.
The guards were silent.
Qin Zheng stood up with a calm face, turned his head to look at the children of the desperate Li family, and seeing that they were shocked and horrified, he asked coldly, "He bit his tongue and committed suicide, do you know?" ”
The men shook their heads in unison.
"Don't know?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows.
The men nodded in unison.
"It turns out that the people of the desperate Li family are a group of mutes." Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to grab Xie Fanghua and walked out of the firewood room, and at the same time ordered lightly, "Kill these people on the spot." ”
"Yes!" The guards drew their swords.
The few people in the firewood room suddenly opened their mouths in horror, "Little prince, why are you ...... Kill us? ”
Qin Zheng didn't reply, didn't look back, and pulled Xie Fanghua and walked out.
Behind the two of them, the guards sold their swords, and the desperate Li family who were imprisoned in the firewood room suddenly didn't even splash blood, and everyone was lying on the ground.
Xie Fanghua heard that there was no movement behind him, stopped, and said to Qin Zheng, "With so many guards, under strict watch, Li Xiao actually committed suicide and died. It stands to reason that the news that the desperate Li family was raided should not be able to come in. Even if it comes in and the desperate Li family is copied, Li Xiao, as the head of the family, must not be reconciled, and he should not bite his tongue and commit suicide so quietly. ”
Qin Zheng twisted his fingers, "Perhaps, even under his nose, the news that the desperate Li family was raided still reached his ears." The desperate Li family was raided, and he inevitably died. In order not to be guilty, it is rejoicing to die. ”
"If that's the case, it's not going to be easy." Xie Fanghua glanced back, "Under the heavy guards, the news still reached Li Xiao's ears, it should be through the sound transmission, right?" The strongest sound transmission into the secret, can reach thousands of miles, right? ”
Qin Zheng bowed, "Not bad." ”
"Can you do it?" Xie Fanghua asked Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng shook his head, "I can't do it for thousands of miles." After a pause, he looked at her, "Can you?" ”
Xie Fanghua shook his head, "If I am in excellent health and use magic magic, I may be able to transmit sound for thousands of miles, but I have never tried it." ”
"This Xingyang City has a radius of three hundred miles, and it has been cleared." Qin Zheng affirmed, "If there are any more troubled people, it will be three hundred miles away." Qin Zheng said, "If few people do it for thousands of miles, if you are a person from Meizu, you may be able to spread the sound for hundreds of miles." ”
Xie Fanghua bowed, "In this way, Li Xiao bit his tongue and committed suicide, probably in order to cut off the clue from him." What important person made him willing to sacrifice his life to kill the Li family and his own life when he heard the words of the voice, and also cut off the clues from him, so that we have no way to interrogate and investigate? ”
"Although people are dead, it is not impossible to find out if you want to investigate." Qin Zheng said.
Xie Fanghua looked at Qin Zheng and suddenly suddenly said, "You just saw that Li Xiao was dead, and immediately killed the remaining Li family disciples, does it give people an illusion?" Does it seem like that's the end of the matter? Not tracked down? And you want to continue to investigate secretly? ”
Qin Zheng lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and complimented, "My little princess is so smart. ”
Xie Fanghua saw that he was like this in broad daylight, and immediately blushed, and raised his eyes to look at him with disgust, "When is this, what are you messing around?" ”
Qin Zheng stared at her face, blinked his eyes, and said innocently, "This is also a mess?" ”
Xie Fanghua blushed and twisted his head, ignoring him no longer.
Qin Zheng held her hand, tightened it, stopped joking, and said, "I don't believe it, there is no day when the land of Southern Qin is cleared, and there is no day when the rivers and mountains of Southern Qin are stable." ”
