Chapter 70: Death Doesn't Admit It
"Not safe? What does Daddy mean? Zheng Jiami didn't know what was going on, just looked at his father with an innocent face.
"You don't need to know, the more you know, the greater the danger to you, you listen to Daddy, leave Lizhou, and leave tonight." Governor Zheng was very anxious, but he didn't want Zheng Jiami to know anything.
"Then Daddy, let's go together?" Zheng Jiami saw that her father's face was very serious, and she was unconsciously sudden.
"Daddy can't leave, they won't let Daddy go, Daddy wants to stay to stabilize the situation, if Daddy leaves, you are really not safe." No matter what, Governor Zheng can't leave, all he can do is to send his daughter out of Lizhou safely, so it seems that this Governor Zheng is also a good father.
"Okay." Zheng Jiami has been selfish since she was a child, but she is not like ordinary girls, who play the deep relationship between father and daughter, but she began to think about another thing in her heart.
She packed her things, found a bag of things that had been prepared before, quietly carried them with her, and then left the prefect's mansion.
Early the next morning, Su Zhiyuan received a post from Zheng Jiami, saying that she wanted to see her, and the location was in Juxian Building.
It's Juxian Building again, Su Zhiyuan didn't know what this Zheng Jiami wanted to do, so after thinking about it, she changed into women's clothes and went to the banquet.
The atmosphere of Juxian Building in the morning is also very good, and the breakfast is the most authentic breakfast here in Lizhou, but if you have other needs, they can also make all kinds of fine breakfast from all over the country, of course, it is very expensive.
Su Zhiyuan has been away from Beijing for a long time, but she misses some snacks in the capital very much, so she is quite happy to come to Juxian Building.
Seeing Su Zhiyuan in women's clothing, Zheng Jiami's face turned iron-blue, and she almost crushed her teeth.
I have never seen such a woman, when I wear men's clothes, she is heroic, and women's clothes are not lacking in gentleness and charm.
"It turns out that Miss Su really looks like this, I really underestimate you." Zheng Jiami forcibly suppressed the jealousy and unwillingness in her heart, and picked up Su Zhiyuan and said.
"yes, I like that like myself, too." Su Zhiyuan could see at a glance the unwillingness in Zheng Jiami's eyes, and she deliberately wanted to add fuel to the fire.
"You ......" Zheng Jiami almost couldn't hold back, but still said: "I'm leaving Lizhou City today, and this meal is my reparation to you." β
Leaving Lizhou City? At this time?
Su Zhiyuan's heart instantly brightened, but he still pretended not to understand: "Miss Zheng is doing well in Lizhou, she wants the wind and the wind, and she wants the rain to rain, how can she be willing to leave Lizhou?" β
"Oh......" Although Zheng Jiami is sometimes stupid, but most of the time she is not too stupid, she immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she said: "I am going to visit my aunt, so I have to leave Lizhou for a while, but when I come back, you are probably no longer in Lizhou, so I have to treat you to a meal to express my apologies." β
"That's it!" Su Zhiyuan pretended not to know her calculations, and sat down generously.
Zheng Jiami also generously ordered a table of good dishes and said, "If it weren't for the tight time, I would have asked you to go back to our house and cook a meal for you personally." β
"You're welcome."
Su Zhiyuan looked at her pretending, and she was tired and panicked for her.
After Zheng Jiami said a few more words to Su Zhiyuan, she got up directly and helped Su Zhiyuan pour wine, but when she poured the wine, she gently sprinkled the medicinal powder hidden in her nails into the wine cup.
Is this a small measure? Those girls in Beijing are much better than you.
Su Zhiyuan smiled secretly, whether it was the methods he used when he was a killer or the methods of the girls he saw in the capital, which one was a hundred times stronger than Zheng Jiami's small means.
"You're so polite, you have to prepare wine early in the morning." Su Zhiyuan chuckled.
"It should be." Zheng Jiami also smiled.
"Do you see that His Royal Highness, do you want to invite him to say goodbye together?" Su Zhiyuan pointed to a person on the street who looked a little like Sikong Mubai and asked Zheng Jiami to take a look.
Zheng Jiami was also thinking about Sikong Mubai in her heart, so she turned her head to look, Su Zhiyuan took the opportunity to change the wine glass, Zheng Jiami didn't see anyone, and said with a smile: "Miss Su is wrong, how can she admit that her fiancΓ© is also wrong?" β
"Oh, that may be because I have bad eyes, I recognize the wrong person, I read too many books when I was a child, and I hurt my eyes, Miss Zheng, don't blame me." After Su Zhiyuan finished speaking, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Huh? Then Miss Su should be only eight buckets high, right? Zheng Jiami pretended to be polite, and raised his wine glass: "This glass of wine should be used as a farewell and an atonement." β
"Okay." Su Zhiyuan smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Zheng Jiami never thought that the medicine she had given would be drunk by herself, and she was secretly smiling and waiting for Su Zhiyuan's medicine to take effect.
Su Zhiyuan stood up and said, "It's not too early, Miss Zheng still has to hurry, let's go back." β
Forehead? It's okay? That's it?
Zheng Jiami hadn't figured out what Su Zhiyuan wanted to do, so she was forcibly pulled up by Su Zhiyuan.
"You ......" She was just about to ask Su Zhiyuan what she wanted to do, when she suddenly raised her ears lightly, as if she had been bitten by some insect, she felt dizzy in front of her, and her consciousness fell into the endless dark abyss.
After Su Zhiyuan pierced her sleeping hole with a silver needle, he gently helped her and called Xiao Er: "You go to the door to help me order a small sedan chair, Miss Zheng is too strong to drink, I have to send her back." β
Xiao Er didn't doubt him, so he quickly called a sedan chair over, and Su Zhiyuan took Zheng Jiami into the sedan chair, took her back to the post house directly, and put her in a relatively hidden room.
Sikong Qianche and Sikong Mubai didn't expect Su Zhiyuan to bring her back directly, and had some questions: "What are you doing with her back?" β
"She might know some truths, and she said her father was going to send her out of Lizhou, so I had to bring her back." Su Zhiyuan explained simply.
"And what if she wakes up in a moment? Do you want to tie it up? β
"No, she can't wake up, and I'm afraid that she will wake up and get in the way, so I directly inserted a silver needle in her sleeping hole, and she won't wake up without pulling out the needle." Su Zhiyuan didn't say anything about her drugging herself, for fear that Sikong Mubai would worry in vain.
Seeing that the mother and daughter had been leading the post house for a night, and there was no movement, the prefect was really relieved.
After thinking about it, the prefect decided to make a decision immediately, break the kettle, and do it now.
He called the only way out left for him by "above", and ordered: "No matter what you think of in your hearts, you must go and kill those two women for me, if you can't kill them, you can do it yourself, and the official can't give them a funeral." β
These people are all dead soldiers, so naturally they will not disobey the orders of Governor Zheng, so they will go down and prepare immediately.
At noon, Su Zhiyuan just shouted that he was bored, and Sikong Mubai threw the teacup that was drinking tea on the beam of the room with a "whoosh".
With a "bang", a hole was made in the entire roof, and one person fell straight down with a pile of rubble and rotten tiles.
Su Zhiyi's eyes quickly pulled Sikong Qianche to the side, successfully dodging all the rubble, but Sikong Qianche's white robe was splashed with dust.
"Su Zhiyuan, did you do it on purpose?" Sikong Qianche shouted, he had just put on his clothes......
Here, Sikong Mubai had already trampled the man in black under his feet: "Say, who sent you?" β
"Forehead......" The man didn't speak, but his eyes were wide open, and he saw that he had swallowed his breath.
"This!?" Sikong Qianche didn't even see how this person died.
"Fool! This is the dead. Su Zhiyuan patted Sikong Qianche's head lightly, laughing at him for being rare and strange, and at this time there was already a shout of killing outside.
Of course, it was not long before it ended.
"I can't see it, there are still dead soldiers behind this Zheng Governor's Mansion?" Su Zhiyuan squatted in front of the corpse and studied it for a long time.
Sikong Qianche couldn't stand her appearance like this, so he went back to his house to change his clothes.
Sikong Mubai took advantage of the fact that he hadn't gone out yet, and ordered: "You call that Zheng Governor's Mansion to come over." β
"Oh, good." Sikong Mubai spoke, he naturally did not dare to disobey.
Governor Zheng couldn't wait for the reply from the dead man, he knew in his heart that the assassination had failed, and seeing this, he could only run away quickly.
Just as he had just made up his mind to leave, someone came in from outside: "Lord Prefect, His Royal Highness King Rui is invited!" β
"Your Highness...... What do you want me to do at this time?! He subconsciously wanted to run, but was stopped.
"It's better to go for an adult." The man smiled and said to the prefect, but he smiled, his eyes were cold, and his white teeth were exposed.
Governor Zheng hurriedly put away the messy thoughts and obediently followed the people to the post house.
As soon as I entered the door, there were seven corpses in the courtyard, and I didn't need to look at them, Governor Zheng also knew who they were.
It was the same person they had met an hour ago.
"Governor Zheng, these people don't know if the prefect knows each other?" The commander Qian Che had already changed into clean clothes, and his signature smile appeared when he spoke.
"No...... If you don't know them, how can the lower officials know them? Zheng Zhifu was desperate in his heart, but he could only grit his teeth, say nothing, and admit nothing, because if he didn't say that he might still be able to survive, the people above might still protect him, but once he said it, he would definitely die even more ugly than the few people lying in front of him.
"You don't know, do you?" Sikong Qianche was not in a hurry, but smiled lightly: "Then the prefect will wait here for a while." β
What else is he going to do?
Governor Zheng felt more and more at this time that behind King Rui's warm smile was a meticulous and exquisite heart that did not lose to King Qi at all, and he still underestimated him after all, not only did he underestimate him, but even the people above didn't take King Rui seriously?
After a cup of tea, I saw that my master and housekeeper were escorted over one by one.
Seeing them, Governor Zheng's face was like dirt, and he stumbled and asked: "Your Highness, I don't know if the lower official did something wrong, Your Highness wants to investigate the lower official?" β
"Since Governor Zheng doesn't know what he has done, then don't talk for the time being, let the master and the housekeeper talk." Sikong Mubai's face asked, he spoke loudly, and stared at the master, which was already terrifying.
"Master Pei, what Governor Zheng did, you can tell what you participated in, after all, Governor Zheng's family has someone to settle down, but your family members are all in this Lizhou City, and no one will help you settle down." Sikong Qianche can always use the softest knife to poke where you care the most.
Master Pei's face was so frightened that his face turned cold, he looked at Governor Zheng with trepidation, and then at Sikong Qianche and a few of them, and finally said everything: "I said, I beg Your Highness to open the net, don't touch my family." β
"Hehe, you said that you are also a scholar, how good it is to take the imperial examination and become an official, but you actually follow this kind of person behind the saddle and the horse, tsk." The commander Qianche continued to poke a knife in his heart.
Master Pei's heart was about to break when he heard this, he was also an ambitious person back then, but you are ...... first It's too late to say anything.
"Come on, bring a pen and paper, let Master Pei say it himself, remember it himself, I have read Master Pei's words, a good hand, it's a pity not to make records." Sikong Qianche sneered.
Master Pei was really panicked by Sikong Qianche, and he didn't dare to say anything, and finally knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, please don't say it, I'll write it all, I'll write everything I know." β
"Pei Min, you ...... Don't spray people with blood! Seeing that the master's mentality collapsed, Governor Zheng was even more panicked, and in a hurry, he could only open his mouth to remind Master Pei not to talk nonsense.
Master Pei glanced up at him: "My lord, wake up, at this point, I still have to explain." β
"If you dare, if you dare, I will kill you!" Governor Zheng has been driven to the point of madness, if he lets Pei Min say it, then he is afraid that even the people above will not be able to save him.
"Sooner or later, you're going to die, do you care how you die?" Sikong Qianche smiled at Governor Zheng: "Come on, help Governor Zheng tie it up!" β
At this time, Zheng Zhifu was tightly tied, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't say anything even if he wanted to.
