After the "Ten Deaths", all the charcoal basins that had been placed in each cell had been removed, the families of the deceased were properly compensated, Qin Awu was sentenced to death, and the warden was demoted for dereliction of duty. But this is all on the surface, the court and the palace are now surging, and this time things are not as simple as they seem.

This Qin Awu is a murderer, but he is not a murderer.

Zou Yu had long known who was behind this matter, but it didn't make any sense. If one day the other party really grasps the power and the country of Daye changes, then he can only be reduced to fish on the board and slaughtered by others. He doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the court and the palace at present, while the sky has not changed, his first thing now is to find out the internal response of the other party hidden in the palace.

And the reason why Qin Awu was not beheaded immediately was to get clues from his mouth.

"You want to see me?"

Zou Yu walked down the stairs of the cell.

"Hmm."

Qin Awu's arms were chained, and when he heard Zou Yu's voice, his originally lowered head was raised.

"Say it."

Zou Yu walked to the interrogation table and sat down.

"I'm going to talk about this...... My life is at stake, and I can't say that. ”

Qin Awu looked at Zou Yu.

"And what are you going to do?"

"I beg the adults to remove the chains from my hands and let him out, I can only talk to the adults alone."

Qin Awu said, glancing at Tie Yi who was standing aside.

"Your Excellency. Can't promise him, it's too dangerous......"

As soon as he heard this, Tie Yi immediately refused.

Zou Yu doesn't know martial arts, and there are no other guards in this dungeon, if this person wants to plot against him, he won't have time to come back to rescue him.

"Forget it. Tie Yi, give the order to go down and set a time for execution. ”

Glancing at Qin Awu, Zou Yu said lightly.

This kind of requirement, whether there is a problem or not. He wouldn't say yes.

It is indeed important to find out what is hidden in the government. But his own life was more important.

"That person is right next to the adult, Lord Zou, you really don't want to know?"

Seeing that Zou Yu did not agree to his request, Qin Awu was a little unwilling.

"If you want to say it, just say it, just don't say it. As a person who has committed heinous sins. You have an obligation to take the initiative and tell us the truth. Instead of us begging you to sue sù. ”

Zou Yu was silent.

"Since the adults don't trust me so much. Then I don't have anything to say. ”

Qin Awu said indignantly.

"Trust? As a cell boss, but kill all the prisoners held under your jurisdiction, is this trust? ”

Zou Yu said. He got up from his chair, obviously not wanting to talk to the man.

"What are you afraid of, my lord?"

Qin Awu grinned to himself.

"My whole family of twelve people up and down was killed, such a sea of blood and hatred, will I still give my life to others like before?"

"The murderer of your family, Yu Shitai has taken over, and he will give you justice when the time comes."

"Justice? Hahaha......"

Qin Awu suddenly burst into laughter.

"People are dead, what do you need justice?! Could it be that with justice, they will all come back to life? ”

"Tie Yi, let's go."

Zou Yu said, taking a step towards the exit.

"Lord Zou—"

Qin Awu's voice suddenly came close to his ears, Zou Yu turned his head in confusion, but found a bright dagger stabbing at him, the speed was too fast, he didn't have time to dodge, and he was stabbed in the chest.

"Your Excellency?!"

Tie Yi, who was walking beside him, turned around, and a roundabout kick directly knocked Qin Awu to the ground, and then made up two more kicks to knock him unconscious.

It's a pity that Qin Awu's speed of attack just now was too unexpected, and the dagger had already "walked around" back and forth on Zou Yu's chest, bleeding nonstop, and he instantly fainted, dyeing the official uniform on his body dark red.

And over there, Qin Awu suddenly moved, and a large pool of black water flowed out of his mouth.

"My lord, it's all over."

In the woods outside the city, Li Yan looked at the masked man with his back to him and said.

Although the process was thrilling, in the end, all the gaps were finally filled by him. Li Yan never thought that his brain would be so useful.

"How's Zou Yu doing?"

The masked man's hoarse voice came.

"I visited him this morning and he was very badly injured, but it seems to be getting better......"

Li Yan paused, judging from Zou Yu's current injury, he would not be killed. That Qin Awu was not accurate enough.

"How's Qin Awu's situation?"

The masked man continued.

"He's waiting to be executed now. My lord, you are really clever, Zou Yu really took him back to see the killed family in order to let him speak, and then he was poisoned without any suspense. ”

There was unbelievable admiration in Li Yan's eyes.

Qin Awu's family was poisoned by him, which was the result of his own opinion. But when reporting this to the masked man, in addition to being unusually silent, he also gave a small bottle of potion for Li Yan to apply to everyone who was poisoned.

Li Yan did so, and when Qin Awu returned home that day, his feelings collapsed, and he fell on the corpses of his family and cried. Tears mixed with the potion on the corpse, successfully poisoning him.

That kind of potion can actually change a person's mind and make him do things that he would not have been able to do, which really surprised Li Yan. He was about to leave the unused potion bottle behind, but found that he couldn't even find it. He couldn't find it, which really made him sad for days.

"Let's go back."

After a moment of silence, the masked man said lightly, his voice ruthless.

The cold wind blew, rolling up a chill. The fallen leaves that have rotted all over the ground have lost the ability to be carried up by the wind and flutter in the air.

Li Yan's figure had disappeared at the end of the forest. The masked man still stood still, motionless even in the cold wind, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zou Yu's eyelids moved and he opened his eyes.

"Dad, you're finally awake......"

Zou Youheng, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, shouted happily when he saw such a scene.

"Dad, how are you feeling? I went to call Lang Zhong for a follow-up visit. ”

Zou Yu has been in a coma for seven days, during which Lang Zhong has come several times, and each time he said that the injury was not life-threatening. Just drink your medicine on time. will wake up. Zou Youheng waited here every day, for seven days, he originally planned that if he didn't wake up today, he would smash that Langzhong's shop. didn't expect Zou Yu to really wake up.

"Wait......"

Zou Yu's mouth moved. Reached out and grabbed Zou Youheng's cuffs.

"What's wrong? Daddy......"

I thought Zou Yu was uncomfortable. Zou Youheng looked worried.

"Is it clear?"

The sloppy eyes slowly focused, and Zou Yu asked.

"Qin Awu was poisoned, and this kind of poison is very rare. Originated in Nanban Miaojiang, it is similar to Gu poison, or it is a kind of Gu poison, but this kind of Gu poison is more advanced and more difficult to resolve than ordinary Gu poison. ”

Knowing that the first thing Zou Yu did when he woke up was probably to ask about the progress of Qin Awu's case, so during the time he was in a coma, Zou Youheng asked Tie Yi to investigate it thoroughly.

"How to get a Gu?"

Zou Yu asked again.

"Tie Yi went to ask the old poison master over there in Hou Miao, this kind of Gu poison is very special, it needs tears as an introduction, as long as there are tears, any contact can be poisoned. But it is only effective for the living, and it is useless for the dead. So we guessed that the other party should have smeared this Gu poison on the remains of Qin Awu's family. Qin Awu cried so sadly that day, it must have been rumored at that time. ”

"Moreover, apart from this, with Dad you setting up so many levels, the other party has no other chance to contact Qin Awu at all."

Zou Youheng said in a low voice.

"Murderer ......"

"Youheng, is the master awake?"

Before the conversation in the room was over, it was interrupted by a sound of worry.

"Erniang, my father just woke up, and I was about to ask someone to tell you......"

Zou Youheng stood up from the side of the bed, looked at Tian and said.

"Master, are you alright? How does it feel? Where is it still uncomfortable? I'm going to ask someone to call Lang Zhonglai......"

Tian Yuyun walked directly past Zou Youheng, walked directly to Zou Yu's bedside, and asked with a nervous and concerned face.

"It's okay, I think it's okay."

Zou Yu smiled faintly.

This made Zou Youheng a little dazed, and it was the first time he saw Zou Yu's smile.

"Sir, you ...... It's good that you're awake, you don't even know it, these days...... I...... How worried we are all about ......"

Tian Yuyun said, his eyes were a little red.

"Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu, you go and bring Xiaobao, he was still thinking to me just now that he wanted to see Daddy."

"Xiaobao?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zou Yu's mouth.

"Yes, master, you don't know, during the days when you were in a coma, Xiaobao cried every day, yelling to see you every day, I hugged him, and when he saw you like this, he cried louder, crying and shouting in his mouth [I am very well-behaved and obedient, why does my father ignore me]......"

Tian Yuyun said as tears flowed down her eyes.

"Daddy—"

As soon as he entered the house, Xiaobao let go of Xiaoyu who was holding him and threw himself towards Zou Yu's bedside.

"Xiaobao, come and show your father, during this time, Xiaobao is obedient?"

Zou Yu's voice was full of doting.

"Yes, Daddy, Xiaobao is very obedient, I didn't eat anything, I didn't ride the carriage, my mother said that I would wait until Daddy woke up and went to the suburbs to ride together......"

Four-year-old Xiaobao said in a milky voice.

"Okay, well, wait a few days for Daddy to ride the pony carriage with you......"

"Xiaobao, Dad's injury is not healed yet, don't press on it, hurry down, my mother is holding you."

"It's okay, just let Xiaobao lie on his stomach......"

The morning sun shines through the window and shines on the people inside.

Zou Youheng stood in a corner of the room, with the light on his back, and did not shine the sun.

He originally thought that Zou Yu was a stern person, but now it seems that his so-called stern and expressionless face is only when he treats him Zou Youheng and the prisoners. (To be continued......)
