The red silk wrapped in the wind is especially piercing Chapter 085 The purpose of killing
Yin Yongmin asked, "Do you want to go and see this real murderer?" It is possible that he is your relative. ”
Qing Di's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked rhetorically, "Is it my relative?" My uncle? ”
"It is estimated that this kind of person who personally came out to buy poison to harm Pingxianghou cannot be General Shui, it should be General Shui's subordinates. You can go over and ask him personally. Yin Yongmin glanced at the little guy behind him, and the little guy understood, and hurriedly walked to a room with the green flute in front.
Qingdi arrived at the door of the room, and the little servant said, "Fifth Miss, this person has been tied up tightly, and it won't hurt you, you can go in and see him." ”
Qingdi nodded, and after entering, the little guy casually closed the door so that Qingdi could speak. At a glance, Qingdi saw the man who was tied to the ground with five flowers, about forty years old, with his eyes closed as if he was sleeping.
When the man heard someone coming in, he hurriedly looked up, and saw that it was not Yin Yongmin, so he lowered his head and continued to sleep.
Qingdi hesitated for a moment and asked, "You...... Are you from the water family? ”
The man didn't seem to bother with her, and there was no reaction.
Qingdi paused and said, "I am Shui Yanran's biological daughter, if you are from the Shui family......"
"Woo woo......" As soon as the man heard that Qingdi was Shui Yanran's daughter, he immediately raised his head and stared at her tightly, he seemed to have something to say, but his mouth was tightly gagged, and he couldn't say a word, so he had to lean desperately towards Qingdi's side.
Qingdi was a little scared, hurriedly took a step back, swallowed and foamed, and said: "I have a lot of questions to ask you, and you must have a lot to tell me, but you have to promise me not to shout loudly, after all, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is not good to be heard." ”
The man nodded vigorously a few times, and Qingdi cautiously walked over and took out the contents of his mouth.
The man took a sharp breath, looked at Qingdi carefully, and saw that she and the Shui clan did look very similar, so he suddenly struggled to kneel down in front of Qingdi and said, "Miss, it's great that the slave finally saw you!" ”
Qingdi bent down and helped him sit up, and said, "Don't kneel, hurry up and get down to business, who are you?" ”
"The slave was originally a descendant of the Shuiguo family, named Zhou Yi, and was sold to the Shuiguo Mansion when he was seven or eight years old, and the Shuiguo Gong saw that the slave was about the same age as the mother of the water general and the young lady, so he asked the slave to take care of the water general and the water lady. Later, Mrs. Shui married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the general also moved out of the Guogong Mansion, so the slave followed the general and lived peacefully in the General's Mansion for more than ten years, until the general was killed, and the slave was exiled to Saiwai with the general's family. Zhou Yi replied.
Qingdi nodded, and asked again, "Why did you come back?" Is my uncle back too? ”
Zhou Yi heard her ask about General Shui, and his face was a little unbearable with grief, and said: "General Water and the minions, as well as the remnants of the Shui clan, have all returned, but they are just ......"
"It's good that they're alive, so I have something to rely on." Qingdi nodded, looking at the way he wanted to speak and stopped, he knew that these people would not come back safely. "Did something happen to them?" she asked. ”
"We were assassinated on the way to exile, all of them were seriously wounded, and General Shui tried his best to protect everyone, but he didn't save a few people. We are dead, crippled, General Shui also broke his legs in this assassination, among the surviving people, only the slave is a good hand......" Zhou Yi's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he paused for a while before continuing: "We didn't dare to come back immediately at first, we fled outside for a long time, and at the beginning of this year, we returned to the imperial city, in order to avenge the original blood revenge!" ”
Qingdi rarely saw this uncle when she was a child, and vaguely remembered that every time he came to the Xiangfu to see her, he would buy her a sugar gourd. He disappeared for so many years, and the relationship between the two was not too close. But when Qingdi thought that this was his blood relative, and now he heard that he had fallen into such a field, he felt very uncomfortable.
Zhou Yi said again: "After General Shui returned to the Imperial City, he thought at first that Mrs. Shui had been living in Xiangfu with Miss Shui in a good manner, and he was afraid of disturbing your life, so he didn't come to look for you." It's just that I didn't expect to suddenly hear the news of Mrs. Shui's death a month ago, so General Shui sent someone to inquire, and when I inquired, I learned that Miss and Mrs. had already been kicked out by the Prime Minister's Mansion. General Shui was very angry and said that he must avenge the young lady and Mrs. Shui. ”
Qingdi eased his emotions and asked him: "So you killed the Marquis of Pingxiang just to marry the Prime Minister and avenge my mother?" ”
"The reason for killing Pingxianghou is not only this, it was Pingxianghou who led people to assassinate General Shui back then! So he died innocently! The more Zhou Yi spoke, the more excited he became, and his lower lip couldn't stop trembling slightly.
"Shhhh ”
"I'm sorry Miss, the slave ......" Zhou Yi opened his red eyes hard, and exhaled several deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Your plan of revenge, including the Emperor?" Qingdi suddenly asked such a question: "I mean, my uncle was framed back then, and the person who ordered my uncle to be exiled is the current saint, so will you assassinate the emperor?" ”
Zhou Yi shook his head: "The Shui clan is loyal to the country, if it is really His Majesty who wants the general to die, the general will definitely not say a word." It's just that back then, Your Majesty let us go, but we were killed by the villain Pingxianghou! Speaking of this, Zhou Yi sneered again and said, "It's just that he definitely didn't expect that day when we heard that he was going to take his wife back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit relatives, we were already eyeing him." When he went to Taibai Mansion to meet friends, the slave deliberately pretended to be the second child of Taibai Mansion and put that kind of poison in his wine. ”
Qingdi actually wanted to say just now that the Marquis of Pingxiang, a marquis in the imperial city, led his troops to chase down and kill their group of exiled people all the way, how could the emperor not know? Therefore, he must have obtained the emperor's approval, or simply the emperor's order, to hunt down the exiles.
But when she saw that this person was bent on attributing hatred to Pingxianghou, and said something like "loyal to the king to serve the country" and "the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die", she knew that this person must be blindly loyal, and she better not say anything.
"It's just that the slave doesn't understand some things," Zhou Yi frowned and asked: "When the fourth prince found out that it was the slave who poisoned him last night, he immediately arrested the slave back, but he didn't deal with the slave until now, and asked the young lady to come over to see the slave, what is his intention?" ”
"Yin Yongmin can be regarded as his own person, he is ready to deal with the Prime Minister like us." Qingdi replied to him.
"Then it's no wonder." Zhou Yi muttered, then raised his head and asked Qingdi: "Miss, go and see General Shui, General Water has always wanted to see you since he heard that Mrs. Shui died, but he has never had the opportunity." ”
Qingdi thought for a moment, nodded, and asked, "Okay, where is he?" ”
"At the end of a broken alley on the east side of Jintan Academy, there is a large miscellaneous courtyard, and the courtyard is all our own people."
Qingdi thought for a while, showed a hint of suspicion, and asked, "Didn't my uncle steal all the family property before he was exiled?" Where did the money come from to buy a miscellaneous courtyard to house everyone? ”
"General Shui met a nobleman," Zhou Yi replied, "The man wore a silver mask, and said that he was a friend of the general, but the general wanted to see his appearance, and he didn't let him, but he provided the general with everything he needed, and he bought the courtyard." ”
The man in the silver mask? Qingdi immediately thought of his master, could it be him? If it was the Master, the person in front of him should not be a liar.
"Well, I'll go see him in the evening." Qingdi said, leaned down to untie the rope on Zhou Yi's body, and said as he untied it: "You were caught by the fourth prince, so I am not qualified to let you go, but I can go and beg him to let you go later, and you take me to see my uncle together." ”
"Thank you, Miss!" Zhou Yi thanked Qingdi, and stayed honestly in the distance, waiting for Qingdi to go out and ask.
As soon as Qingdi walked out, before he could speak, Yin Yongmin, who was still standing under the tree, asked, "Do you recognize each other?" Who are you? ”
"It's someone from the General's Mansion," Qingdi replied to him, hesitated for a moment, bowed his head slightly, and asked, "Lord Wang, you have been locked up with him, do you plan to announce his identity soon?" ”
"No, if the murderer is handed over now, once he is interrogated, he is still a member of the Shui clan, and he has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion at all, isn't our efforts for so long in vain?" Yin Yongmin looked at the subtle expression on her face, and had roughly guessed what she was going to say, so he smiled and said, "It's useless for me to keep it, seeing that his martial arts are quite superb, it's better to stay by your side to protect you." If someone asks about you, or if someone in the prime minister's house doubts you, you will say that this person is from me, and let them come to me. ”
Qingdi suddenly raised his head and asked in disbelief, "Is it really possible?" He's the real murderer, so leave it to me, okay? ”
Yin Yongmin chuckled: "I seem to have told you that I also have a friendship with General Shui, and I arrested him yesterday, but I don't know how to deal with it." ”
Qingdi also smiled, thanked him, and hurriedly went back to tell Zhou Yi the news. Yin Yongmin looked at her heartfelt smile and couldn't help but shake her head, she was still a little girl after all.
She took Zhou Yi back to Xiuge, and in the evening, she got into the carriage used to pick up Yu'er and went out of the Xiangfu together.
The place where General Shui was located was not far from Jintan Academy, and after a few people arrived, they asked Qingdi to wait for a while after the killing, and then went in to pick up Yu'er.
Qingdi replied: "You will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion directly when you receive Yu'er later, I still have something to do, and Zhou Yi will go over to do something, you can take Yu'er back." ”
Wan Kill originally thought that Qing Di wanted to see Yu'er, so he would come to Jintan Academy with him, but now as soon as he said no, Wan Kill became nervous, pointed at Zhou Yi and asked, "Young lady, do you want to go out with this man?" Is he reliable? ”
"Reliable, he was given to me by the fourth prince." Qingdi patted the killer's shoulder and reassured him.
After the killing, he opened his mouth, wanting to say that what the fourth prince gave was even more unbelievable, but what he said was: "Young lady, it's better for your subordinates to go with you, otherwise the second young master will not worry." ”
"Why don't you just tell him?" Qingdi was afraid that he would delay too much time, so he urged him to go in to pick up Yu'er after the killing, and he and Zhou Yi went over to see General Shui.
Seeing that the two of them were leaving, he hurriedly followed, and hurriedly looked back at the mahogany gate of the school.
School will be out in a while, if he leaves with Qingdi like this, what will he do?
