Chapter 163: Two Birds with One Stone

Looking at the look of everyone knowing everything, Tao Tian's eyebrows tightened, and he muttered: "There is a way that everyone is drunk and I am awake, why do you come to me but everyone is awake and I am drunk?" After saying that, he sighed helplessly and slowly stood up.

Qin Keqing glanced at it and didn't say anything, when she heard Huo Xiao's sentence of incense every day, she had already let go of the resentment in her heart, and besides, the silver taels that the two of them had funded over the years were enough for Guo Zhen's widow to have no worries about food and clothing.

What's more, there are some things that are not as simple as they seem. Now, there is no need to hold on to it.

Now that he was relieved, he didn't care, but smiled and quipped: "What? I still feel that I have the confidence to speak with a straight back, right? ”

Tao Tian, who was just about to sit down, suddenly stiffened when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Qin Keqing in a daze, not knowing how to answer. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that his actions just now were really a bit arrogant, so he quickly turned around and wanted to kneel down again.

Looking at his trembling appearance, Qin Keqing hurriedly waved his hand and said with a light smile: "It's all up, just sit down and talk!" ”

Hearing him say this, Tao Tiandeng put down his heart that mentioned his throat, clasped his hands into fists, and replied respectfully: "Thank you, my lord, for your extrajudicial kindness!" ”

"Extrajudicial favors?" Qin Keqing's eyebrows were gloomy, there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and he seemed to have feelings in his heart, and he sighed and said: "The law is nothing more than human affection, since you have sincerely repented, why not give you a chance to change yourself?" What's more..."

Halfway through the conversation, I found that there are some things that are suitable for public announcement at this time. Then he changed his words and said with a smile: "What's more, Lord Wen hasn't finished talking yet!" ”

Although Tao Tian is upright, he is also a smart person, and after hearing Qin Keqing's words, he knew that even if he was imprisoned, he would not be guilty of death. Dengshi was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Huo Xiao.

I saw that Huo Xiao's face showed indescribable joy, and his eyes were full of tears of happiness, and he murmured: "Brother Tian, we... We...," didn't even say what he thought twice, and hurriedly stood up and took off his clothes to kneel.

Before Huo Xiao could stand up completely, Qin Keqing seemed to have guessed what the two of them were going to do, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him: "There is no need for you two to be like this, a pregnant woman kneels at every turn, I am terrible to lose my life," Speaking of this, he glanced at Tao Tian and said: "And you, didn't you just boast that you were a man who stood up to the sky?" Don't you know that a man has gold under his knees. ”

After that, he didn't care what the two of them thought, so he turned his head to Wen Ziqi and said softly, "Then you continued just now." ”

Wen Ziqi, who was smiling and looking at a few people, was stunned when he heard this, and muttered: "Your words have turned too fast, the first half of the sentence is still ridiculing Tao Tian, and the second half of the sentence is..."

Before he finished speaking, he found that Qin Keqing's face was pale, and he said coquettishly: "Then do you want to talk about it?" ”

"Tell me about it!" Wen Ziqi hurriedly replied with a smile on his face, "I just said what was the reaction of the two of you when she came to find the two, I don't need to say it clearly!" ”

Tao Tian didn't understand what this sentence meant until this time, and was thinking about it, when he heard Huo Xiao beside him speak: "At that time, the two of us didn't know that she was the one who was behind the scenes and controlled all this, but they only knew that the handle of the two of us was in their hands, so naturally they didn't dare to resist." ”

Tao Tian is Zai Mu Na, and when he heard that he now knew who several people were talking about, he hurriedly exclaimed: "Lord Wen, do you mean the person who came to us, that is, the person behind the design for me to kill Guo Zhen by mistake?" ”

Wen Ziqi smiled, pretended to stroke his chin without a beard and said, "Isn't it unexpected?" ”

Before his words landed, Tao Tian hurriedly raised his voice and said, "It's not an accident, it's just... It's just..."At this point, I suddenly felt that I was short of words, so I could only say helplessly: "It's too unexpected!" ”

I thought he would say something subtle, but after waiting for a long time to say such words, Wen Ziqi was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Only in this way can everything be explained!" Think about it, am I right? ”

Tao Tian nodded slowly, thinking to himself in his heart, what Wen Ziqi said was right, Guo Zhen must have weighed the pros and cons back then, and found that it was more profitable to sell the list privately than to report it to the government, so he bought the information to him one by one through the shopkeeper of the orchid wine shop.

After several times, the person in charge of Xiliang Xizuo found out the clues, so he used a little means to package his information and sell it to Tao Tian through the shopkeeper of the orchid wine store. Tao Tian, who didn't know the truth, came to the orchid wine shop, and after a little look, he decided that Guo Zhen was also Xiliang's fine work.

The person who planned all this, as long as he waited until Tao Tian succeeded, he could use Guo Zhen's true identity to blackmail Tao Tian for his use, which was a plan to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to remove the thorn in the eye and obtain a sword of fame.

Things were slowly advancing at the beginning according to the pace he envisioned, but when the last critical step was taken for his own use, it was completely disrupted by a woman who had escaped, and Tao Tian Huo Xiao fled when he heard the news. Eight years later, because of Wen Ziqi's relationship, this person once again remembered the previous chess piece, and he did not hesitate to show up here.

The more Tao Tian thought about it, the more frightened he became, this person's resourcefulness made people feel frightened, thinking of this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Wen Ziqi, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his forehead involuntarily dripped. This person is resourceful, but compared with the Lord Wen in front of him, he is inferior.

Wen Ziqi, who had been smiling, began to sweat on his forehead after seeing Tao Tian glance at him just now, as if he knew what he was thinking, he shook his head awkwardly and said, "I don't have any bad intentions!" ”

The night wind blew, the candle flame swayed in the wind, and such a headless and tailless sentence suddenly spread in the silent hall, the listeners were stunned, Nangong Feifei frowned slightly, and muttered, "Shocked, are you going to scare people to death?" ”

When Nangong Feifei said this, Wen Ziqi looked a little embarrassed, so he stroked the tip of his nose with his hand, coughed lightly, and said, "Brother Tao, now you should understand what I meant by what I said before." ”

After that, he walked to the door, pushed open the lightly closed door, and said to himself, "Some people have some things that are far more complicated than you think. ”

After listening to Wen Ziqi's insights, a trace of dark clouds flashed in Qin Keqing's eyes, although she quickly lowered her head to cover up, she still did not escape Nangong Feifei's eyes.

Nangong Feifei groaned slightly, and then asked with an interesting light in her eyes: "Sister Keqing, I see that your expression is wrong, is there something uncomfortable!" ”

Hearing such a polite question, Qin Keqing raised his eyes and glanced at Nangong Feifei, a meaningful smile suddenly rose on his lips, and he said softly: "It's nothing, I'm just lamenting what your big brother Wen said just now, seemingly simple things often hide unbelievable truths." ”

Nangong Feifei was already intelligent and cautious, and after hearing this, she suddenly realized what she said, "Listening to the meaning of Sister Keqing's words, there are hidden secrets in this case that we don't know." After saying that, Deng Shi felt that this was not the right time to ask, so he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

Tao Tian, who had already been overwhelmed by guilt, heard this, quickly raised his head, stared at Qin Keqing like a copper bell, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "There is still a secret?" ”

Wen Ziqi, who was standing against the door, heard this, stared at Qin Keqing blankly, the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line, as if he was thinking about what else he hadn't thought of at all.

But before he could figure it out, Qin Keqing chuckled in his ears, "Eight years have passed, this matter should not have been turned over to the surface," Qin Keqing glanced at Tao Tian Huo Xiao as he spoke, and said lightly, "Actually, you two didn't kill each other back then!" ”

As soon as these words came out, except for Qin Keqing himself, everyone present was surprised, and even the stupid people understood what this sentence meant.

Tao Tian, whose hands were stained with thieves to stop bleeding, only regretted that he had killed Guo Zhen, a person from the official mansion, by mistake, and now Qin Keqing meant that he did not kill by mistake, that is to say, Guo Zhen was not a person from the official mansion, but actually Xiliang's study.

Thinking of this, Tao Tian asked with a puzzled expression: "Lord Qin, you said that you didn't kill the mistake, then Guo Zhen is actually Xiliang's study?" But there's one thing I don't understand. ”

It seemed that he had already guessed that Tao Tian would definitely have questions, so before his words landed, Qin Keqing opened his mouth and asked, "What do you not understand?" ”

Tao Tian rubbed his temples with the palm of his hand, slowly sorted out his thoughts, and after a long time, he spoke: "Since he is a Xiliang study, then why does he want to sell his friends to get a huge profit." ”

Except for Wen Ziqi, all the people present agreed when they heard this, and Nangong Feifei even defended: "Sister Keqing, this doesn't make sense, if it's the same meticulous work, is it just for the sake of the little thing outside his body that he betrays his compatriots like this?" ”

Qin Keqing glanced up at Wen Ziqi, who was frowning, and asked in a loud voice, "Why didn't you react at all?" Aren't you surprised? ”

Unexpectedly, Wen Ziqi shrugged his shoulders and said disapprerovingly: "When you said that Tao Tian didn't make a mistake, I was a little surprised, but then I was relieved when I thought about it. ”

"Just a few breaths," Nangong Feifei looked at Wen Ziqi with a surprised expression, and asked suspiciously, "You just want to understand the catty in it?" Not bragging! ”

Wen Ziqi smiled lightly, as if he didn't take Nangong Feifei's ridicule to heart at all, and said lightly: "If what I said before is carefully scrutinized, there are still some loopholes, after all, we are guessing." But when I heard Lord Qin say this just now, there was no fault between the front and back! ”

Tao Tian, who had been in a dizzy state all night, seemed to suddenly open his mind at this time, and quickly stood up and yelled, "I figured it out!" ”
