Chapter 265: The Leftovers

That night, Wen Qiao thought of what the emperor said about the remnants of the mountain bandits, and some thoughts flashed in his heart. Wen Qiao didn't dare to guarantee that it would be like that, but he felt that it didn't matter if he checked it.

If Lang Jianing really unites with the remnants of the mountain bandits, then his side will have to step up his efforts to find Lang Jianing and Zhao Qingyan.

So Wen Qiao immediately sent someone to investigate Lang Jianing, just to see what reason Lang Jianing did this, and what kind of people did Lang Jianing's subordinates, and whether they would do something to Zhao Qingyan to torture to extract a confession.

Even if Wen Qiao called the people below to investigate, he didn't feel very good in his heart, because he knew what the mountain bandits were like, he had been in contact with them before, and he had disturbed their mountain bandits' lair by himself, so Wen Qiao was a little worried about whether Zhao Qingyan's side would have a very bad time. If it's not good, it's all his fault, thinking that he can. Even Zhao Qingyan was involved, and Wen Qiao felt a little guilty in his heart.

The next day, the results came out, and there was indeed a group of people left behind by mountain bandits under Lang Jianing, who were recruited by Lang Jianing himself.

When the guards below said this result, Wen Qiao covered his face, and his heart was a little broken.

If it weren't for the emperor telling him that it might be someone left over from the previous mountain bandits, Wen Qiao hadn't thought of this matter at all. But now that he learned that the group of people who kidnapped Zhao Qingyan had several mountain bandits, Wen Qiao felt that he had harmed Zhao Qingyan.

Wen Qiao didn't know who to talk to now, he only felt that his emotions were on the verge of collapse little by little, and he also guessed that Zhao Qingyan's side might be uncomfortable, if he couldn't stand it, Zhao Qingyan's side might not be able to be rescued in time. So Wen Qiao held on to his spirit and said to the people below: "Continue to investigate." ”

Zhao Qingyan saw several mountain bandits chatting in front of him, so he also interjected from time to time.

"Recently, the people in the city have really suffered, and the price of rice has risen a lot."

Hearing a mountain bandit say this, Zhao Qingyan said: "No, the rice I bought in the restaurant below is a little more expensive." ”

Zhao Qingyan had some chats with them, and sometimes, a few people would laugh, but there were also mountain bandits outside who were watching if Lang Jianing was going to come, and when Lang Jianing came, the mountain bandits would pretend to be very fierce, and then Zhao Qingyan would also show some frightened expressions on his face.

In fact, Zhao Qingyan feels that she is still good here, these mountain bandits will bring her when chatting, and although she is not particularly open-minded, but as far as these things are concerned, Zhao Qingyan feels that she is still treated very well.

It's just that......

Zhao Qingyan looked at the door and knew that there were still people guarding outside, and even if he said that the mountain bandits inside were successful, there was no way to escape.

The people outside are not necessarily the same group of people as the mountain bandits, they work shifts every day, and I don't know why, although they are a little strict, but they don't say that they want to hurt themselves at all.

Zhao Qingyan thought, looking at those mountain bandits, how to look at it and feel strange.

She has been here for a few days, but these mountain bandits are relatively good people, and they are not very bad to themselves because Wen Qiao suppressed them before. Originally, I was very scared when I first came, especially when I saw some good-faced people among these mountain bandits, who looked like those people who had been stirred up by Wen Qiao before.

But everything is moving in a better direction.

It's just that Zhao Qingyan knows that no matter how good it is here, it can't be better to go home, Zhao Qingyan misses her son a little, and can't help but think about what Wen Qiao is doing now, why he hasn't come to rescue her. But Wen Qiao himself also knew that this rescue operation might be more difficult. After all, Wen Qiao cares about himself very much, and he should be reluctant to see that he is injured.

There is nothing to do here every day, and the mountain bandits are also very good to themselves, Zhao Qingyan can't help but start to recall the past.

In the past, when I was with Wen Qiao and Wen Zichen every day, even if Mrs. Cheng had some bad feelings about herself, at least this was a happy memory. It's just that later, after the old lady left, everything changed, and Zhao Qingyan thought of Mama and the old lady. Zhao Qingyan didn't know how long Mama could stay by her side now, but Zhao Qingyan thought that she must be kind to Mama when she went back in the future.

Now that he suddenly disappeared like this, I don't know what the situation is on Chen'er's side, did Wen Qiao tell Chen'er that he was arrested? Or did you say something else? Zhao Qingyan thought about many possibilities, but in the end he still didn't know what Wen Qiao would do.

Maybe when Wen Qiao suddenly disappeared before, she hid it from Chen'er like an old lady. Zhao Qingyan thought and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

The mountain bandits in front of her had been chatting for a long time, Zhao Qingyan thought of the reason why the mountain bandits came here, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know anything, so he asked, "Why did you come here?" And it seems to be quite friendly to me. ”

Hearing Zhao Qingyan's question, the mountain bandit with a scar on his face said, "Do you remember the time when the third prince was caught?" It means that those people suddenly arrested us, saying that we were colluding with the third prince or something. ”

Zhao Qingyan thought for a while and said, "I remember that incident. ”

That time was after Wen Qiao confirmed the bad things done by the third prince, he told the emperor everything first, and then went to find the bandits' lair.

The mountain bandit next to us said: "After that time, we were caught by the big guys, and some of us were tortured, and then thanks to your help, you begged us for mercy in front of the emperor, so we were able to leave the prison unharmed." ”

"No, no, that's just alive." Another bandit smiled and said, "Others think that we hate you because of the previous arrest, but in fact, we don't think it's a big deal at all, and we are very grateful to you for helping us say a lot of good things." ”

Hearing what the mountain bandits said, Zhao Qingyan didn't know what to say. After all, in Zhao Qingyan's opinion, she just couldn't see the bandits being arrested because of the matter of the third prince, so she just said a few good words.

"We saw that Lang Jianing was recruiting people to kidnap you. Originally, we had already washed our hands, but as soon as I heard that it was you, I discussed it with them, it would be better for us to do this, at least we wouldn't hurt you much, wouldn't we? ”

When a few mountain bandits said this, Zhao Qingyan felt a little moved.

At that time, things were just a gesture, and Zhao Qingyan didn't think that he would be able to let them help him so much now. So Zhao Qingyan smiled gently, looked at a few mountain bandits, and said very sincerely: "Thank you, in fact, I haven't thought about receiving anything in return before, I don't know how to say it, in short, thank you very much." ”
