Time is slowly moving forward.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, Xiao Qiongzhi stayed by the barbecue grill with great interest, watching Zhang Ruoyao be flipped over by the secret guard, and after sprinkling the seasoning once, he deliberately put his nose to Zhang Ruoyao's body, sniffed it, and then nodded straight.

"Yes, it's starting to smell meaty. It's just that the seasonings used are all powders, and the flavor is too slow. You go to the innkeeper, order soy sauce, cooking wine and the like, and rub it on Zhang Ruoyao! Xiao Qiongzhi said seriously to the secret guard who was in charge of sprinkling the spices.

"Yes." The Dark Guard immediately complied.

When Zhang Ruoyao heard this, her expression, which had already become full of chagrin and pain, added a little panic.

She twisted her neck desperately, trying to get Xiao Qiongzhi's attention, so that Xiao Qiongzhi could see the look of chagrin and pain on her face, and the pleading color in her eyes.

But Xiao Qiongzhi has been staring at her body since she ordered the dark guard to spice her, and she didn't pay attention to the expression on her face at all.

Moreover, this time, after she was turned over and roasted, her body position changed to her back to Xiao Qiongzhi, unless Xiao Qiongzhi turned to the other side to look at her, otherwise, she couldn't see the look of chagrin and pain on her face, and the pleading color in her eyes.

In desperation, she had no choice but to twist her neck desperately, opening her mouth vigorously and making all kinds of grimaces, trying to attract Xiao Qiongzhi's attention by attracting the attention of the secret guard who was standing opposite her and was responsible for flipping her.

It's just that a secret guard standing opposite her who was responsible for flipping her saw her expression, although his expression immediately showed disgust, he didn't mean to tell Xiao Qiongzhi about it at all.

It was neat, and suddenly said to Xiao Qiongzhi with a solemn face: "Her Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling, I can testify that Zhang Ruoyao had to cooperate with Elizabeth to murder you together under the threat of Elizabeth." ”

"You let people cut off her tendons and tendons, cut off her tongue, and give her a punishment, which is not light, please spare her life for her sake, and don't continue to torture her."

"Qi Qi, you are the invader who once invaded the Chu State with your father, or the escapee who refused to serve his sentence in the Chu State prison for his war crimes, and one of the murderers who collaborated with Elizabeth to try to murder me."

"A person with a bad record like you is not credible, not to mention, there is no evidence, I don't believe the testimony you gave to Zhang Ruoyao." Xiao Qiongzhi turned his head and glanced at him lightly, and said in a deep voice.

"I'm not talking about it, I still have evidence on me that can prove from the side that what I said is true. If you don't believe me, I can have someone take off the crown that binds my hair on my head, and there is a contract of cooperation in it, and you will know what is going on when you look at it. Qi Qi still said very solemnly.

Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't help but be interested.

This neat and good at taking advantage of other people's weaknesses was discovered as early as Zhoujia Village, when she and Qi Cheng met for the first time.

She didn't think that Yi Qiqian's selfishness and treachery would suddenly jump out to help Zhang Ruoyao testify for no reason.

There must be an ulterior motive in this.

She looked at the two guards who were in charge of guarding the whole body, and said to one of them, "Take off the crown that binds your hair neatly on your head, and see if there is a contract he said, and if so, give it to me." ”

The guard immediately complied.

Soon, a contract written on a very light silk cloth appeared in front of Xiao Qiongzhi.

This contract, signed thirty-one days ago, was signed by Qi Qi, Zhang Ruotong, and Bai Yunfeng, the master of the Killing Pavilion.

The content is mainly in three pieces.

First, the three of them are by Elizabeth's side, cooperate sincerely, fully gain Elizabeth's trust, and try to earn Elizabeth's money, and no one is allowed to embezzle.

The second is that all matters that involve cheating and abduction that damage her reputation and image will be resolutely only given to Elizabeth and will not be personally involved.

If it involves the murder in Daxiao, try to secretly let the other party live.

Because, after all, Elizabeth is an outsider, and everyone in Daxiao is his own person. Even if there is a personal grudge between one's own people, it is not the turn of outsiders to interfere.

The third is that the three of them cooperate and help each other, especially Zhang Ruoyao, who was threatened and lured by Elizabeth and forced to cooperate with Elizabeth, and he completely lacks the strength to balance Elizabeth, and Qi and Baiyunfeng have the responsibility and obligation to take care of it more.

"Neat, I didn't expect that the three of you in the contract could still know how to take into account that while earning Elizabeth's money, you can also maintain a little bottom line of being a human being, and not be in the same boat as Elizabeth and harm us Daxiao people."

"Contracts are one thing, though, facts are another. The Absolute Killing Pavilion Master Bai Yunfeng once released a dark arrow on me today, trying to shoot me, but he didn't do it according to your contract at all. This fact is far more convincing than your contract. ”

"Therefore, I seriously suspect that this contract of yours is not actually a contract that you really intend to execute, but just a pretext to clear your name in case you are caught!" Xiao Qiongzhi read the contract carefully, thought about it, and said in a serious manner.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling, I can swear that when we signed the contract, our original intention was never to be on guard against being caught, and to use the contract as a cover to clear our name!"

"In addition, Bai Yunfeng shot you, neither Zhang Ruoyao nor I knew about it, and if he violated the contract, it doesn't mean that Zhang Ruoyao and I will also violate the contract!" Qi said loudly with a aggrieved face.

"There is some truth in what you said, but it is an ironclad fact that you murdered me with Elizabeth, and when you first came, you did not repent, and you could not even kneel down to apologize to me, how can you make me believe you?" Xiao Qiongzhi pondered for a moment before speaking.

She really didn't expect that there would be such a contract on Qi Quan's body.

However, whatever the real purpose of signing this contract, at least they embodied their patriotic spirit in the contract.

What's more, when Elizabeth was arrested this time, they and Elizabeth did not stay together, thinking about it, or by the critical moment, they unanimously abandoned Elizabeth's consciousness.

Therefore, judging from these two aspects alone, she is willing to choose to spare Zhang Ruoyao and Qi Quan's life.

Of course, this is what she planned in her heart, and there is no need to let Zhang Ruoyao and Qi Qi know early.

She also needs to make Qi Quan consciously and truthfully confess all the facts of Qi Zhuang's life, as well as all the facts that Qi Quan knows about other people's wrongdoings, and sincerely apologize to her for collaborating with Elizabeth to murder her.

As for Zhang Ruoyao, in fact, she asked people to cut Zhang Ruoyao's tongue and cut off Zhang Ruoyao's tendons and tendons, which is not only a punishment, but also a deterrent, not irreparable.
