Chapter II: Private Funds
Yu Qingqing choked in her throat and was suddenly speechless.
Can... But she is obviously just a pawn used by Yan Heng to bring down the Fu family and the Wei family, how can someone like him be?
However, as Fu Shiyu said, it was Yan Heng who exchanged her life for her on death row.
Yu Qingqing, who poisoned her parents and husband, was a repeat offender who was not pardoned by the imperial court, so she was fortunate to become a neighbor with Yan Heng, who was also guilty, and even became a death row prisoner who was beheaded on the same day.
On the first day of September, the internal officials around Emperor Tianding came to see Yan Heng in the prison, saying that King Fu of Yongzhou had rebelled, and Emperor Tianding ordered him to re-lead his troops to resist the enemy.
Listening to the words of the internal official, Yu Qingqing thought that she was the only one left on the stage that day.
Thinking of the ghost-headed knife in the executioner's hand, she unconsciously felt a little timid.
There was a dinging sound, interrupting Yu Qingqing's thoughts, and she followed the sound to see Yan Heng dragging the chains the thickness of her forearms out of the shadows of the cell.
He didn't look at the officer, but looked at her through the crack in the palm-wide prison door, his eyes shining brightly, just as she had seen her for the first time.
"How many conditions did the emperor promise me?"
The internal officer raised his eyes and looked at the people in the prison, lowered his eyes again, and replied slowly: "One." β
When Yu Qingqing heard this, her heart was overjoyed.
Anyone who has such an opportunity will be the first to save their lives!
He also once said that there is infinite hope only when you are alive.
But Yan Heng's next words and deeds made Yu Qingqing speechless in shock.
She distinctly remembered that his bloodstained, blue-frozen, finger had reached out of the crack in the cell door, pointing firmly in the opposite directionβher!
"I want her to live."
When the internal official heard the words of surprise, he was also shocked, and it took a while to come back to his senses, follow Yan Heng's fingers, and turn to look at the woman in the prison behind him.
In the past few months, the emperor has been trying to find Yan Heng's weakness, so as to force him to explain the whereabouts of the private money, but it turns out that the weakness has always been under Yan Heng's nose!
In this way, Yu Qingqing's unforgivable death penalty was commuted to exile by Emperor Tianding.
And Yan Heng, on the battlefield, was hit by three knives and twelve arrows in his body, and was trampled into bloody mud by tens of millions of iron horsemen.
After that, King Fu was like a bamboo, but on the seventh day he attacked the city gate, Emperor Tianding wrote down the edict of his own and jumped to Taiye Lake, King Fu ascended the throne, changed the name of Tianhe.
Although Emperor Tianhe overthrew Emperor Tianding, he also respected him and chose to follow many of his decisions, as did her exile.
Fu Shiyu saw that Yu Qingqing was sad and wanted to cry, he hated it from the bottom of his heart, gritted his teeth and roared: "Since you are happy with each other, why did you come to rob me!" β
Yu Qingqing raised her eyes coldly, her bloodshot eyes stared at Fu Shiyu deadly, and she lifted her lips and sneered: "Miss Fu is wrong again!" β
"In the whole thing, you are the thief!"
"The grievances and humility you think are just forced to return."
"Or is it that Miss Fu has occupied the magpie's nest for a while, and then she really thinks she is the daughter of the Yu family?"
snatched the white sentence ruthlessly, and the angry Fu Shiyu trembled.
She came with condescension, but she was not ridiculed!
clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Come on, tear her mouth to me!" β
The slave who came with Fu Shiyu was about to do it immediately when he heard this order, but the official on the side panicked when he saw this, and he raised his foot to stop him.
Everyone was in chaos, but Yu Qingqing was still calm and calm, looking at Fu Shiyu, who was almost out of control, she asked softly with a smile: "Yan Heng's private money can be found?" β
As soon as these words came out, there was silence everywhere.
It was rumored that Yan Heng had embezzled a large amount of military salaries during his tenure, and the sum of them was comparable to the national treasury.
Now these words actually came out of Yu Qingqing's mouth? Thinking about her relationship with Yan Heng, it proves that she knows the inside story! Everyone was very excited in their hearts, and looking at Yu Qingqing's eyes again was like seeing Fu Lu Shou Samsung.
Fu Shiyu was the first to come back to his senses, and couldn't wait to ask out loud: "Do you know?" Tell me, where is that private money now? β
Once the Son of Heaven was a courtier, Emperor Tianding favored the Fu family, but Emperor Tianhe was not, although the Fu family was not touched at the moment, but there was no intention of being close to reuse.
If she can get this private money back, wouldn't it make the Fu family show a big face in front of Emperor Tianhe? has made such a contribution, are you still worried that the Fu family will not let her return to her family!
The cold wind blew from behind her, and the thin prison clothes wrapped Yu Qingqing's skinny body, she saw the lust between everyone's eyebrows and eyes in her heart, and smiled without saying a word.
Ruo Yuqingqing's high-minded talk may still be suspicious, but looking at her determined appearance now, Fu Shiyu is convinced.
Imagine that Yan Heng even had to leave her the only chance to live, how could her belongings outside her hide from her?
"What do you want?" Fu Shiyu took a step closer to her and said eagerly: "I can satisfy you no matter what, as long as you are willing to tell the secret!" β
Fu Shiyu was already not qualitative, but now in order to get what he wants, he directly put on a posture of giving and taking.
Yu Qingqing looked around, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure Miss Fu wants to discuss this issue with me here?" β
Fu Shiyu was shocked to realize that the occasion was wrong, and hurriedly invited Yu Qingqing to get into the carriage.
Unfortunately, the car door was not wide enough, and Yu Qingqing, who was wearing a heavy flail, was stuck outside.
Fu Shiyu immediately asked the official for the key.
The official hated Fu Shiyu for being too domineering, and he wanted to swallow the secret of this private gold alone! Naturally, he was not willing to give it, but he didn't dare to really offend the Fu family, and he shirked it and said that it was not in accordance with the rules.
Fu Shiyu sneered when she heard this, and she despised these greedy low-level ants in her heart, but when it came to the matter, she didn't have time to deal with them, and motioned to the maid Water Lotus to reward.
The water lotus took out a gold ingot of five taels from her purse.
Although the officials were happy to see the gold ingots, compared to the secret of private money, what is this mere five taels?
It's just that Yu Qingqing's attitude is clearly to make a deal with the Fu family, and they are not capable of meeting the requirements put forward by Yu Qingqing, since they are destined to have no chance with private funds, it is better to take the opportunity to scrape some of the benefits they can get.
didn't go to pick up the small gold ingot in Shuilian's hand, touched his nose, and turned his face away.
Shuilian frowned and looked at Fu Shiyu, Fu Shiyu nodded at her, Shuilian gritted her teeth and threw the purse in her hand angrily.
The official took it in his hand with a smile, and while thanking the reward, he stepped forward to remove the shackles on Yu Qingqing's body, and then went to open the chain after changing the key, but saw that the person had already entered the carriage. More things are better than less things, the officials are happy to be idle, take the purse in their hands, and share the wealth with the rest of the people happily.
In the carriage, Yu Qingqing sat next to Fu Shiyu.
Fu Shiyu frowned when he saw this.
The two are natural enemies, and they have never had such an intimate distance, and she is covered in filth... Fu Shiyu's eyes couldn't hide his disgust, but thinking that the fear outside the carriage was his ears and eyes, he felt that it was right to be cautious.
Thinking of this, she lowered her voice and said, "Where the hell is it?" β
Yu Qingqing glanced at her coldly, then smiled and lowered her eyes, looked at the chains piled on her knees and said, "If you want my things, you need to exchange them for your most precious things!" β
If Fu Shiyu could be a little more calm at this time, she would definitely be able to find the killing intent that flashed in Yu Qingqing's eyes, but she didn't, and immediately said without thinking: "What is it?" I'll give! β
"Your..." Yu Qingqing's eyelashes raised suddenly, and the killing intent in her eyes was raging: "Life!" β
Before the words fell, Fu Shiyu's neck was already covered with coldness, and she didn't have time to think about it in fright, and she was about to break free, but as soon as her fingers touched a touch of coldness, she felt Yu Qingqing's knees against her back.
The knees were pushed forward, the hands were strangled back, the cold chain was instantly embedded in the flesh, and her neck leaned back in a strange arc, her breathing was restricted, and her face turned from red to purple very quickly!
Yu Qingqing listened to the strange sound from Fu Shiyu's throat and eyes, and whispered in her ear: "We are all the same people in this dead situation, we have all settled, how can Miss Fu be alone?" β
Fu Shiyu felt that her whole face was about to swell open, her eyes bulged outward, her lips were numb, her brain was confused, and her sense of impending death made her have to struggle.
Shuilian, who was closest to the carriage, heard the strange sound of tapping in the carriage, frowned and called, "Girl? β
After waiting for a moment and no one answered, she didn't know what she thought, her expression changed suddenly, she rushed forward with an arrow, and lifted the curtain of the car, and saw a swollen and purple face embedded in the boxy window.
Those eyes were blood-red with tears, staring at her deadly, as if there were thousands of painful words to tell, where did Shuilian go through such a scene? His legs unconsciously weakened, and he sat backwards on the ground, stammering his mouth, and only after a while did he squeeze out a scream that changed his tone from his throat: "Killed-"
In the chaotic snatching, a knife stabbed in from outside the carriage, hitting Yu Qingqing's waist and abdomen, and the sharp pain made the strength she gathered in her hands suddenly disperse.
The knife quickly pulled away and stabbed again, this time through the heart.
Yu Qingqing lowered her eyes and looked at the tip of the bloody knife, and her eyes spread little by little: "It's a pity..." β
After all, this life did not go as he wished, and he still ran to the place of Hades.
But that's fine, there are some things she can ask him face-to-face.
