Chapter 255: Betrayal

The girl laughed, this official didn't dare to be a official, at the beginning, those cooks were living on the streets, homeless, the official felt pity, so he took them back to Wu'an, gave them a chance to make a living, originally didn't expect them to do much good, as long as the food can be eaten, who knows that they impressed me. ”

Zhao Ziwei hurriedly explained, for fear that Qian Qianqian would buckle some unwarranted hats on his head.

"Lord Zhao is really a bodhisattva, and he doesn't forget to help the people when he goes to the capital, which is really a blessing for the people."

Qian Qianqian's face did not change, and she deliberately praised like this, in fact, everyone could hear the meaning of her words, she just wanted to see how long Zhao Ziwei could pretend to be.

Zhao Ziwei didn't respond, knowing that Qian Qianqian was deliberately stimulating him, so he just poured a glass of wine by himself, and never looked at Qian Qianqian's face, with a friendly smile on his face.

After dinner, Qian Qianqian and the others returned to the room, Zhao Ziwei also left, just now during the banquet, the atmosphere has been a little awkward, but fortunately Zhao Ziwei is relaxed and doesn't care at all.

Qian Qianqian didn't feel sleepy at all, sitting at the table, as if waiting for someone, late at night, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Xue Yi was keeping vigil outside, and when someone came over, Xue Yi would definitely find out, so Qian Qianqian didn't move until the person outside pushed open the door and walked straight in.

It turned out to be Mu Tianyue and Shangguan Ling, Qian Qianqian was not surprised at all, it seems that they also think that Zhao Ziwei has a problem.

"Miss Qian, we are going to visit Zhao Ziwei's study at night, as well as the warehouse in this house, the outside has already been tied, and we will act separately."

Mu Tianyue's expression was solemn, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll go to the study with Xueyi, you go to the warehouse with Guan Ling, and in two hours, we'll meet here."

Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, she also had this intention in her heart, but she was afraid that the wall had ears, so she didn't show it, and now that Mu Tianyue is outside, she can act.

"Okay." Mu Tianyue and the others had no objections, nodded, and left the room one after another, and went to where they should go.

This Zhao Ziwei kept saying that he couldn't control the food affairs, but there were many slaves in this mansion, as well as cooks from the capital, and the dinner was also extremely decent, so there was probably some secret hidden in this mansion.

Qian Qianqian and Xue Yi bent on their waists and cautiously touched the door of Zhao Ziwei's study, fortunately there was a moon tonight, and they could see the road without lighting a candle, although this mansion was not small, but Xue Yi had secretly investigated it before, until the general direction of the study.

Xue Yi is not only strong in martial arts, but also very good at picking locks and doors, Qian Qianqian let off the wind on the side, and soon Xue Yi picked the lock and opened the door.

Qian Qianqian also followed in, carefully closed the door, and searched with Xue Yi inside, there are many ancient books and letters in this mansion, what they are looking for is the letter between Zhao Ziwei and the capital.

But I searched all over the front and back, but I didn't find a suspicious letter, most of which were played by Zhao Ziwei to the imperial court, and some were family letters between Zhao Ziwei and his relatives, and there was nothing to look at.

Qian Qianqian stood up and sighed, but she didn't expect this Zhao Ziwei to hide it really deeply, and she didn't show her feet at all, which made people completely helpless.

Xue Yi was also very puzzled, looking around, her brows tightened, for some reason, Qian Qianqian always felt that Xue Yi knew something, but every time she asked, Xue Yi said that she was thinking too much, so she couldn't figure it out.

"Hey, look, there's a box up there."

Qian Qianqian was about to tilt her head to relax, her gaze moved up, and she was immediately attracted by a locked box.

Everything in this room was unlocked, not even the drawers of the desk, but it was unusual to see that such a wooden box was locked, and it was placed so high.

Xue Yi jumped up and took down the wooden box, her martial arts are not weak, and her light skills are even better, so it is effortless.

The wooden box was heavy in her hand, as if it contained a lot of things, Qian Qianqian suddenly became suspicious, and asked Xue Yi to open the lock and lift the wooden cover on it.

At this moment, there was a loud noise at the door, and several family members broke in, and the fire outside was red, and the whole mansion was lively.

Before Qian Qianqian could see the contents of this box, she was startled by the movement at the door, and looked up in a panic, only to see Zhao Ziwei appear at the door.

"Two girls, you visit the official's study at night, do such a thing of a chicken and a dog thief, and the official still entertains you so wholeheartedly."

Zhao Ziwei looked angry, pointed at Qian Qianqian's face, and reprimanded unceremoniously, his brows twisted into the word "Sichuan", as if he was extremely disappointed.

"We didn't, Lord Zhao, please listen to our explanation, we are just ......"

Qian Qianqian didn't expect that she would be so wronged, so she suddenly became excited, anxious and wanted to explain, but Zhao Ziwei didn't seem to have the slightest intention of listening.

"Okay, you don't have to say more, the things in this box are all rewarded by the emperor, and they are priceless, if the official is not aware tonight, the things will be stolen by you, and now everyone has obtained the stolen goods, you don't have to quibble."

Zhao Ziwei said very firmly, obviously deliberately set this trap to lure Qian Qianqian and a few people into the bait, and now he can already distinguish whether he is an enemy or a friend.

Qian Qianqian looked at the jewels in the wooden box, and suddenly became angry in her heart, if she really knows people and faces, people will change, even if she is kind at first, and after a long time, she doesn't know whether it is a person or a dog.

"Come on, take them down to the official and put them in prison."

Zhao Ziwei turned his head and ordered, and several officials came over, and were about to reach out to grab Qian Qianqian, but Xue Yi stopped him, and there was a sudden tension in the study.

"Girl, if you dare to do it, it will be an arrest, and this official has the right to bring you to justice on the spot."

Zhao Ziwei stroked the beard on her chin, her eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing an indescribable sinister cunning.

Qian Qianqian knows the stakes of this, if she guessed correctly, this is already full of officials, they can't escape with wings, if it really fights, Xue Yi is invincible with two fists and four hands, maybe it will cause death, so after thinking about it again, it is better to bow your head first.

"Lord Zhao, we are here on the orders of General Xiao, even if you think we are guilty, it is best to show respect, otherwise General Xiao will come back and will not spare you."

Qian Qianqian squeezed out a smile from her face, put down the wooden box in her hand, and gave Xue Yi a look, and Xue Yi immediately restrained a little, not too hostile.

"Girl, please rest assured, as long as you don't disobey the official's orders, the official will naturally not do anything to you, after all, the official on General Xiao's side still has to explain, but if you are not honest, even if the official offends General Xiao, he will definitely be unkind to you."

Zhao Ziwei is clearly fearless, every word is full of threats, and the image of the day is completely like two people, the speed of this face change is really fast.

Qian Qianqian and Xue Yi were arrested, and they were pressed by the official to go to the cell in Wu'an City, and it didn't take long for Mu Tianyue and Shangguan Ling to be arrested on the charge of murder.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't you say that Zhao Ziwei was General Xiao's person? How could he suddenly stab us in the back. ”

Through the gap in the cell, Qian Qianqian looked at Mu Tianyue, who was locked next door, with a very solemn expression.

"General Xiao's letter is indeed written like this, although I have never heard of this person in the general's mouth before, but the handwriting on the letter will not be fake, probably General Xiao went to tea and cool, and Zhao Ziwei secretly took refuge in others."

Mu Tianyue was also a lot down, the folding fan in his hand was lost at some point, and Shangguan Ling still had injuries on his face, obviously fighting with the official.

"So what do we do now? Since Zhao Ziwei betrayed General Xiao, he will definitely not let us go, General Xiao doesn't know when he will come back, and we can't spread the news. ”

Qian Qianqian was very distressed, she couldn't sit still, but at the moment, it seemed that she couldn't do anything else except sit and wait.

"Don't worry, Zhao Ziwei doesn't dare to kill us, as long as we still have a life, we will have a chance at any time."

Mu Tianyue said very firmly, there was no wave on his face, he still looked as gentle and elegant as jade, and he was not in a hurry.

Qian Qianqian didn't say more, this cell was so closed that there was not even a small window, fortunately the weather was not hot now, otherwise there would be rats and mosquitoes and flies here, which would be very uncomfortable.

Xue leaned against the wall, looked indifferent, didn't say a word, even if it was late at night, Qian Qianqian still didn't feel sleepy, and kept puffing out her eyes until the next morning.

Two jailers came in and brought them a little water and food, and without stopping for a moment, turned and walked out, neither arraigning them nor saying how long they would be imprisoned.

The water didn't seem to be very clean, a little muddy, there were a lot of small pebbles in it, and as for the food, it was even more uncomfortable to see, only a little rice and a few rotten vegetable leaves, exuding a foul smell.

This Qian Qianqian and a few people naturally don't know how to eat, it seems that Zhao Ziwei is trying to embarrass them, starving them a few times coldly, and when they are so hungry that they are weak, they can't do anything.

"If you eat this kind of food, you should get sick." Mu Tianyue looked at the food in the bowl carefully, and said something seemingly casually, but it made Qian Qianqian think of something.

Qian Qianqian raised her head and glanced at Mu Tianyue, picked up a bowl of rice, deliberately slammed the bowl hard, and then clenched her stomach and screamed.

Xue Yi immediately helped her, and the cell suddenly became lively, Zhao Ziwei didn't lock them up with the other prisoners, so the surroundings seemed very empty.

"Come on, Miss Qian is sick, come on!"

Xue Yi shouted loudly, Mu Tianyue and Shangguan Ling also pretended to be anxious, and soon the jailer guarding outside ran in, and when they saw Qian Qianqian's appearance, their faces were a little panicked.

"Miss Qian ate the food you sent, and suddenly had abdominal pain, so don't go to the doctor quickly."

Xue Yi scolded sharply, although she is now a prisoner, her momentum is not weak at all.
