Chapter 158: Abandoning the Darkness and Turning to the Light

Cao Shi was shocked when he heard this, and seemed to have guessed what Nangong Feifei was talking about, but after all, he was still not sure, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the name!" ”

Nangong Feifei shook her head and said impatiently: "Shopkeeper Cao's scheming is unparalleled, but this memory is not flattering, how long has it been, and it seems that he has completely forgotten it, it is your affectionate sentence of Qiqi Gongzi!" ”

When he said this, he pretended to shiver, clapped his arms with both hands, and muttered to himself: "I don't know how Brother Wen felt when he heard it, even now I have goosebumps when I hear it." ”

is also a woman, He has suffered this kind of ridicule, I thought that the Cao family might be furious, even if it is not good, she will make a mockery, but what is unexpected, she seems to have not taken it to heart at all. Just smiled faintly and said, "Am I calling it wrong?" ”

Of course, she was not wrong, this is clear to everyone present, especially Wen Ziqi. Fifteen years later, the reappearance of this title really made him excited, almost unbearable.

Fortunately, there were Qin Keqing and Nangong Feifei by his side, which kept Wen Ziqi vigilant at all times, although it was only a short moment, it also made Qin Keqing suspicious, and at the same time tightened his relaxed strings.

"Of course you're not wrong!" The corners of Nangong Feifei's mouth twitched, and she continued disdainfully: "It's just that you shouldn't have recognized your relatives so early!" ”

Suddenly, he felt that he used the word "recognize" very well, so he repeated: "Yes, it is to recognize relatives, and I call myself a slave and maid, and I am afraid that others will not know that you are the same as his old acquaintance!" ”

By Nangong Feifei's words, Cao, who had always been calm, slowly lowered his head, thought for a long time and was about to speak, but heard Nangong Feifei say: "Don't say it, it's in vain if you say more now." The words that had reached his lips were blocked back like this, and he trembled with anger.

Erniu, who had been standing on Cao's side, almost wanted to defend Cao's, but his jaw had been removed, and he instinctively and fluently expressed his demands, so he could only open his mouth and mutter.

Nangong Feifei glanced at Cao Erniu, who was salivating, and sneered: "What's the matter, you are eager to protect your wife?" If you want me to be polite, tell me who instructed you? ”

Hearing that this problem was again, Cao Erniu hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, for fear that his slow reaction would lead to murder.

Qin Keqing, who had been watching the Cao couple from the side, looked at Cao Erniu's frightened appearance and suddenly frowned slightly, turned his eyes to Wen Ziqi, and asked, "Why did you remove his jaw?" Speaking of this, as if he suddenly remembered something, he rushed forward with an arrow step, pinched Cao Erniu's mouth and looked at it carefully.

After a few breaths, I saw Qin Keqing's face change instantly, as if he had discovered something terrible. Turning his head, he looked at Wen Ziqi with a frightened expression, and said in horror: "Why is he..." Before he finished speaking, he found that this matter should not be publicized, so he quickly closed his lips and stopped talking.

Wen Ziqi nodded in understanding, then stopped his gaze on Cao's body and said: "You have no grudge against me, you are just instructed by others, although I hate you, but I will not want your life!" ”

Hearing this, Cao's face was dazed, he looked up at Wen Ziqi suspiciously, and asked in surprise, "You don't kill me?" Why? Is it disdainful? And did he have anything in his mouth? Why are you so nervous? ”

Hearing this, Wen Ziqi was stunned at first, then shook his head, and said softly: "I don't kill you because I think the fetus in my womb is not wrong, so why bother implicating him?" As for what you ask Cao Erniu to put in his mouth, I can tell you that it is a poison! ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and swiped lightly, and Cao Shi continued with a panicked expression: "That's why I don't want to ask who instructed you two, just because I'm afraid that you won't be able to think about taking poison and committing suicide for a while." ”

Hearing him say this, Cao Shi stroked his cheek with his hand, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dry laugh: "I can't imagine that you will let me go, aren't you afraid that I will publicize that you are, the descendant of Wen Shixu?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Feifei and Qin Keqing were both stunned, and they both looked over, looking at Wen Ziqi with a puzzled expression. Nangong Feifei even asked, "Brother Wen, he said that you are?" ”

Wen Ziqi, who heard this, had a calm face, since he had decided to summon Qin Keqing and Nangong Feifei to the front hall just now, he had already thought about the situation in case the Cao family said about his relationship with Wen Shixu.

Now that she really said this, she laughed dryly and said softly: "Even the woman who asked you to come can't be sure, where did you get your confidence." Besides, do you know how much disaster you will bring to you if you say it so simply? ”

"Me?" Cao obviously didn't understand the meaning of these words, so he frowned and asked suspiciously, "What disaster can I have!" Didn't I take credit for reporting it? ”

Hearing this kind of remarks, Wen Ziqi stroked his palms and laughed, his laughter was full of contempt, and after a long time, he stopped laughing and said in a solemn tone: "You know that you have such a simple sentence, how many high-ranking officials may want to fall to the ground." Also report meritorious? I think you're dreaming! ”

Qin Keqing, who was originally silent on the side, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Wen Ziqi's remarks, he was indeed right, if the Cao family rashly went to join the official, saying that Wen Ziqi was a remnant of fifteen years ago, the first person to be injured must be the Cao family.

At that time, the supervisor and beheader, now that he has worshiped the second-rank governor, will definitely be the first to jump out and say that the Cao family is spreading rumors, and it is a big crime to release the person who is to be beheaded privately, and it will be punished according to the law.

Fifteen years have passed, and it is expected that he will not do such a business for the sake of an old prisoner who was insignificant in the past, and put his own Manchu life on the line.

In this case, it no longer matters whether Wen Ziqi has anything to do with Wen Shixu, what matters is the Cao family who turned this matter over to the surface. A powerless and powerless rural village woman, pinching her to death is not much more difficult than being an ant all the time.

Thinking of this, Qin Keqing took a long breath and said lightly: "No one will care who Wen Ziqi is now, even if he is really Wen Shixu's heir, the adults above will try their best to say that he is not!" Do you know why? These words seemed to be asking the Cao family, but Qin Keqing's eyes looked straight at Wen Ziqi.

Cao, who didn't know the meaning of these words, gasped and defended: "Why? ”

It seemed that she had expected this question, Qin Keqing opened his mouth without thinking about it: "Because no one will lift a stone to hit their own feet, and Wen Ziqi is that stone!" ”

The Cao family was originally a smart person, but now when he heard Qin Keqing's analysis, he immediately understood that what she said was not wrong at all, fifteen years had already passed, and even the great grievances had almost been wiped out.

But after thinking about it carefully, she found that there was something hidden in this, since the government was unwilling, why was the young woman who instructed her?

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly, and said with a wry smile: "So I was used as a gun!" I thought I was serving the kingdom and eradicating evil spirits. ”

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, and Wen Ziqi looked at her with a shocked face, and said in a deep voice: "What you mean by the words is that the people from the government are looking for you?" ”

Cao Shi did not answer, but it could be judged from his expression that Wen Ziqi's guess was correct.

Qin Keqing stretched out her hand to brush her hair, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes, she didn't know who would care so much.

Just when he was puzzled, Wen Ziqi's voice came from his ears, "Shopkeeper Cao, if you don't want to say it, I won't embarrass you, but I want to warn you that some things are not as simple as they seem." ”

When Cao Shi heard this, she seemed to know what he wanted to say, and her brows couldn't help but lock together, whether it was simple or complicated now she didn't care at all. Now she is only worried about one thing, what will happen if things fail here.

The night breeze blows, and the candle flame flickers and the wick crackles. Nangong Feifei sighed lightly and muttered, "Shopkeeper Cao, if you think that you can get out of the house by keeping your mouth shut, you are very wrong!" ”

Speaking of this, he stood up and paced, came to Cao's face, and said with a light smile: "Brother Wen is kind-hearted, I think you are pregnant and open to you, but what about the person who asked you to come?" Will she let you go? ”

Hearing this, Cao Shi was stunned, it was not that she hadn't thought about this problem, but that the matter had obviously failed, if she could save her life by brazenly kneeling on the ground, she would definitely not hesitate.

But as far as she knew, the person who failed the mission never reappeared.

Thinking of this, he turned his heart sideways, raised his head to Wen Ziqi and said, "Lord Wen, if I say it, will you take my life?" ”

Hearing such a question, Wen Ziqi was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "Even if you don't say a word to me, I don't have the idea of taking your life." Speaking of this, he changed his previous hippie smile and said solemnly: "But if you are willing to say, I will listen." ”

After hearing such a reply, Cao nodded contentedly, then clenched his fist and punched his right cheek.

This punch was not heavy, and in an instant, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and Cao Shi took a sip, only to see that there was nothing but blood foam.

The frosty eye waves flowed slightly, as if thinking about why there were no lost teeth, and after a long time, he raised his head and looked at Cao Erniu with a blank expression.

Seeing that there were eyes cast, Cao Erniu, who couldn't speak, pointed to his mouth and made a sound as if "You don't!" The sound of three words came.

Cao, who has been getting along day and night, said something in the way of nature, so he covered his cheeks with his hands and said with a smile: "I didn't say it earlier without you, and I was punched in vain." ”

As he spoke, he rubbed his swollen cheeks like steamed buns, and laughed at himself: "It's really a crime made by God, and you can't live if you do it yourself!" ”

Since ancient times, it has been heard that strong men have broken their wrists, but there has never been a precedent for a woman to slap herself. Today, when I saw that the three of them were shocked in place, I didn't know what to say.

After a long time, I saw Cao Shi reach out to wipe the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, and sighed lightly: "What do you want to know?" Just ask, I'm not going to hide anything! ”
