Chapter 169: It's a foregone conclusion
Qi Yuan exerted all his strength and rushed towards the shadow.
The other party finally spoke up-
"Wait, wait, it's me! It's me! The other party's voice suddenly became extremely sharp, and he quickly begged for mercy.
"Chang Lei, what are you doing in the middle of the night!" Even in a hurry, Qi Yuan could still tell it at once.
That's right, this voice is Chang Lei's.
Chang Lei smiled, he didn't care about Qi Yuan's anger at all, others were afraid of him, but he was not afraid.
He fumbled his way to the place where the candle was placed, and lit it at once.
Suddenly, the whole room suddenly lit up, which made the two who were used to the darkness not quite comfortable for a while.
Chang Lei put the candle aside and found a chair to sit down.
"Didn't I see your message and rush over?" He smiled, waiting for Qi Yuan's answer, "Say, what's wrong?" ”
Qi Yuan calculated in his heart, since he sent the letter, it would have been two or three days now.
"Where have you been?"
"Every time you ask me to do a difficult task, I can't take it seriously."
Chang Lei's meaning is very clear, anyway, he appeared so late because of Qi Yuan, and he couldn't count it on his head no matter what.
"So how did you check?" Qi Yuan squinted his eyes.
"Now it's almost a foregone conclusion. Xi Yue's incident back then was done by herself. As soon as Chang Lei heard Qi Yuan's question, he became energetic.
"By the way, what happened later was planned by the emperor."
Qi Yuan listened to Chang Lei's tone very firmly, as if those people had told him directly.
Qi Yuan was also a little uncomfortable when he heard this, why didn't he know what was going on, Chang Lei found out the truth?
He had been waiting for this answer for a long time, but now that he heard it, he didn't want to believe it.
Because the answer is not what you want.
Even if countless people had told him before, he could have a reason not to believe it.
"How so?"
But as long as Chang Lei said it, he was basically 100% sure that the result would be.
What's more, Qi Yuan knew Chang Lei, and he wouldn't tell him anything he didn't have confidence in.
"A while ago, I stayed in the south and north of the city for a while, and I found that many people there have a common characteristic, that is, when they talk about that incident, their faces will change greatly."
Chang Lei said slowly.
"I thought it was quite strange, so it took a little effort to find out in the end." Chang Lei avoids the important and takes it lightly.
At first, he still had to get on good terms with those people first, and rely on his own ignorance of what happened back then to trick them into words.
And then I created a new identity for myself, a new story.
These people have been in the mountains for many years, and they don't know what's going on outside, so they can get news quickly from here.
So Chang Lei inquired.
"When the emperor decreed, these people had only two choices. One is to die, and the other is to go to that place with that secret. ”
That place naturally refers to the barren mountains and old forests where there are few people.
However, there are really people who have chosen death, and they should have been disappointed in this world.
They were all soldiers, maids, guards, etc., who knew about it, and since they chose to go, they had to drag their families with them.
It's just isolated from the outside world, but in fact, some people are still very comfortable.
Since the emperor let them choose, as long as they are trustworthy, the emperor will naturally not treat them badly.
However, if it is found that a person leaks secrets, not only their little life, but also their family and relatives, will eventually be similar to the Zhulian Nine Clans.
They are all affectionate and righteous people, even if they have no relationship, they are really reluctant to let their families take this risk for them.
That's why it's been tight-lipped for so long.
Chang Lei chose to keep the first half, he didn't tell Qi Yuan how he found out, but just told him what the facts were back then.
Qi Yuan didn't ask, anyway, as long as he could get the answer he wanted.
"But if you tell me that, won't it cause them any trouble?" Qi Yuan suddenly thought of a very important question.
He knew that Xue Tan had been kicked out when he went to the north of the city, and he knew the importance of secrecy.
No matter how Chang Lei gained the trust of those people, this matter will have something to do with him from today onwards, and he will at least be responsible for those people.
"So I'm going to ask you!" Chang Lei stood up and said to Qi Yuan in a somewhat serious manner.
Qi Yuan didn't respond, he won't be too entangled in this matter for the time being, the key is that he doesn't know how to face Yin Qingqi.
After so many years of misunderstanding, the result now tells him that what he thinks has always been wrong.
He trusted Amma for so long, and Amma, who he had respected since he was a child, actually deceived him for so long.
It's unfair.
However, Qi Yuan couldn't figure out what to do for a while. You can only calm down for a while.
Chang Lei knew that Qi Yuan had listened to it, and he didn't continue to talk about this topic anymore.
"So you deliberately didn't sleep tonight, waiting for me here?" Chang Lei asked informally.
As long as he has a vacancy, he likes to make fun of others, and he is already very familiar with Qi Yuan, and he is not shy about talking.
"Waiting for you to break in from nowhere?" As soon as Qi Yuan heard Chang Lei say what happened tonight, he became angry.
I didn't expect him to hit the muzzle of the gun himself.
"It's so cold, do you want me to freeze outside all night?" Chang Lei's tone really softened, but he still looked like a gag.
"Are you willing? Can you bear it? ”
Qi Yuan looked at Chang Lei like this and felt that he was really underbeaten.
He simply turned around and pretended not to see anything.
This bastard!
He suddenly remembered the letter Qi Yuan sent him, "Seeing that you are in such a hurry to find me, what's the matter?" ”
When Qi Yuan heard this question, he also cheered up. He shook his spirits and answered Chang Lei seriously.
"Something happened recently, this is very complicated, I'll tell you later." Qi Yuan paused, "However, do you know the Dong family in the east of the city?" ”
Chang Lei thought about it seriously, as if he already had the answer in his heart.
He still looked at Qi Yuan with a smile and did not answer the question directly. "A while ago, it was said that the prince was dead, and some people said that he was missing, haha."
Seeing Qi Yuan's gloomy face, his face getting darker and darker, Chang Lei didn't tease him anymore, and answered Qi Yuan seriously.
"Seongdong...... It's Dong Yu's house. That's what he's been thinking about for a long time.
This Dong family is not good at stubble in his impression.
But why did Qi Yuan suddenly ask this person?
No, it was a sudden question about the Dong family.
