Chapter 69: Why Don't You Say It?
"The biggest reason why the captain wants to arrest me is that he wants to use me to control you."
Almost instantly, Qu Youying guessed the biggest reason why Taiwei wanted to arrest her.
"But for now, he's not going to catch you blatantly."
"So what am I going to do?" Qu Youying tilted her head and looked at Mu Jingzhu, her little hand still clutching the placket of his clothes, "Thirteen rivers are not easy to deal with." ”
"Bi'an's side should be almost ready, as long as you avoid tonight, the captain won't have the heart to arrest you again."
"But just based on the rumors of the Taiwei digging up human bones and stewing soup, can it really threaten the Taiwei? How do I think it's unlikely? ”
It's not that she doesn't believe Mu Jingzhu, it's really that Taiwei is an important minister of the court, and he has seen more storms and waves than them, right?
How could it be defeated just because of such a small rumor storm?
Mu Jingzhu smiled and patted her head, bent down slightly, and looked at her, "Trust me?" ”
Qu Youying nodded, "I believe." ”
"Then continue your belief without any doubt." Mu Jingzhu straightened up, looked at the Taiwei and his party who had left in front of him, and held Qu Youying's hand, "Let's go, you can't go back to Qu Mansion tonight, I'll take you somewhere." ”
Qu Youying was pulled away by him, and the curiosity in her heart became heavier and heavier.
But she knew Mu Jingzhu's temper, as long as he refused to speak, she couldn't pry his mouth open.
By the time of the wandering gods, the wooden candle had already brought people under a wall.
"Here we are."
"Where is this?" While Qu Youying asked, she looked left and right at the environment, and then was stunned to find, "This is the abandoned house on Fengling Street?" ”
Her stunned gaze met Mu Jingzhu's eyes, dark and kind, like the brightest stars in the night.
"How did you bring me here?"
"The most dangerous place is the safest, and I want to grieve you to spend the night here."
"But you can think of this, maybe Thirteen Chuan can't think of it?"
Mu Jingzhu didn't answer, but put one hand around Qu Youying's waist, jumped up, jumped onto the wall, and entered the courtyard.
Only after standing still, he said, "He won't." ”
"Why not?"
Qu Youying was about to die of curiosity, so she had to ask to the end.
But someone interrupted her.
When Xie Xiaoer heard the movement, he came out of the hiding place, and when he saw that it was them, he was immediately excited.
Because he didn't know Xiaoshu very well, and Mu Jingzhu was not there, he could only target Qu Youying and pounced happily.
"Woooooooooo......oo Xiaoying, you're here, woo...... I'm almost scared to death, that Thirteen Chuan is terrible, woo... I almost didn't see you all. ”
"Let go."
Qu Youying looked disgusted, she didn't want to be hugged by him at all, and she couldn't push it down, so she could only use a killer move.
"Qianxi, why are you here?"
How do you know, Xie Xiaoer didn't believe it at all, and continued to hug her and wail.
"Don't lie to me, a thousand rhinos won't come here! I don't care, you have to be responsible for me tonight, I'm so pathetic. ”
"Don't want me to be responsible for you?"
Qianxi's voice unexpectedly broke into Xie Xiaoer's ears, causing Xie Xiaoer to shake all over, raise his head from Qu Youying's arms, and look behind her with blank eyes.
Qianxi, dressed in black and plain, stood at the gate of the courtyard.
"Thousands of rhinos? You, you, how did you get here? ”
In the blink of an eye, Xie Xiaoer had changed from the poor man who cried and cried to the appearance of a beautiful son.
He quickly let go of Qu Youying and appeared in front of Qianxi.
"Qianxi, this place is too dangerous, not suitable for you, you better go back quickly, this place is up to me and Xiaoying, if you can handle it, you can rest assured!"
"But I just heard that you almost died?"
"No, this young master is strong in martial arts, who can hurt me. Even if there are ten more, they can handle it. ”
Qu Youying looked at Xie Xiaoer's boastful appearance, and her face was full of disgust.
He also slapped his swollen face and became fat in front of Qianxi, and every time he was in front of her, he was a crying little woman!
"I'm relieved when you say that."
Qianxi didn't poke at him, saving him enough face, but his gaze also crossed him and fell on the "little book" beside Qu Youying.
"How's it going?"
"Everything was planned." Mu Jingzhu knew that she was asking him, and he didn't hide it, "Something brought?" ”
"Brought."
At this time, Qu Youying found that there was a large black bag at Qianxi's feet, the bag was slightly raised, and it seemed to contain a large thing.
Qian Xi lifted the bag and threw it straight in the direction of Mu Jing Candle.
Mu Jingzhu caught it with his bare hands, and between the shaking, Qu Youying heard a slight collision sound in the bag.
She listened intently, "What is it?" As he spoke, he pointed to the bag, "What's in it?" ”
"yes, what's in it here?"
Xie Xiaoer also moved to the black bag, staring at it with curiosity on his face, not even blinking his eyes.
Qianxi smiled, "Just look at it?" ”
After getting this answer, Qu Youying and Xie Xiaoer immediately squatted down, untied the rope on the bag, and exposed the contents in front of people.
"Human bones?" Xie Xiaoer was the first to speak up, and asked inexplicably, "Qianxi, where did you get such a human bone?" ”
Qianxi didn't answer, but Qu Youying said, "This human bone has been burned. The surface of the bone is blackened. ”
As she spoke, she scraped the black bone with her fingernails, and found that after scraping hard, the inside was still white.
"The bone-burning fire is not very powerful, it only burns on the surface, and does not penetrate the inside." She said, tilting her head to look at the Thousand Rhinos, and asked, "Where did you get this human bone?" ”
"The back door of Qufu."
Qu Youying was shocked, "My family? ”
"Yes." Qianxi nodded and said, "When I go, I will transport the people from the past to go." ”
When she said this, her eyes turned to Mu Jingzhu and said, "You, what are you going to do next?" ”
Although Mu Jingzhu wore the face of a small book, he should have had a respectful posture of a master and servant to Qianxi.
But at this time, his face was expressionless, and his expression was completely different from the honest little book in the past.
Even, he looked at Qianxi's expression, with a proud posture.
This kind of look will never be found in a small book.
But this person is clearly exactly the same as Xiaoshu, and in the afternoon, he proposed a plan for her tonight.
Just these two points, Qian Xi can determine the identity of this person.
But seeing Qu Youying beside her, she didn't say much, and believed that Qu Youying knew everything.
"Put away everything tonight as if it never happened."
"Why?"
Qu Youying and Xie Xiaoer asked in unison.
"Because we don't have any evidence in our hands that can directly convict the lieutenant, if we expose it at this moment, it is very likely that we will be bitten back."
"But you can't just do nothing, can you?"
"Yes!" Xie Xiaoer also said, "The rumors of the Taiwei have begun to spread, and he will definitely know that it is related to us." ”
"But that's behind the scenes, not on the surface."
Mu Jingzhu interrupted their conversation, and Qian Xi said, "The three of you, no matter which side you are, all represent an identity behind them. ”
In a word, it is an understatement, but it tells the two that they are not ordinary people, and they are the only ones around.
They are the daughters of the various provinces, and their words and deeds represent the entire family.
If you do something wrong, you will bear it at your own risk, or you will be in danger at worst.
Even though the two of them have always been very willful, they still understand a lot of things.
"So what's next?"
Xie Xiaoer sat down on the stone bench on the side, and said weakly.
Qu Youying was slightly better than him, she squatted on the ground, and when they spoke, they didn't forget to study the charred bones.
"If I'm not mistaken, this skeleton should be the one that showed up and took the husband away. That is, the spliced white bones that appeared before and suddenly disappeared. ”
In addition to a layer of black ash from the surface of the bones, she also had a green powder.
She flicked between her fingers and suddenly walked towards the gate.
There were still glowing bones that had just been shattered by the guards.
Qu Youying opened the door, casually found two bones to come in, closed the door again, walked to them, and put the bones of two different ages together.
Then she scraped the top layer of the crushed bone with her fingernails.
"I think I understand why there are spliced bones."
"I know that."
Xie Xiaoer ran over excitedly, squatted down beside her, and pointed to the two corpses to explain.
"This green powder, which was researched by the thousand rhinos with seven kinds of flowers and plants, is smeared on the bones, which will cause a brief burn, and from a distance, it looks like a bone emitting green light. The reason why the bones can walk is because they are soaked in a potion with a fishing line, which can be invisible in strong light and night, and from a distance, it looks like the bones have been demonized. ”
"And then?"
Qu Youying looked at him with a smile, waiting for him to continue.
But Xie Xiaoer said the beginning, he didn't know what was behind, he scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at Qianxi embarrassedly, and was very dissatisfied with Qu Youying's non-cooperation.
Qu Youying has never given him face, so he pretended not to see it.
She pulled the bones out of the bag, sorted them one by one, and then opened her mouth.
"When I first came into contact with these bones, I used fire on them and came to the conclusion that they were already fragile and would soon turn to ashes if burned with fire. So you make the same powder, which is applied to the bones, and it glows green, and it looks very similar from the surface. However, it does not actually burn for enough time, and if it is attacked, it will quickly fall apart. This is the first reason. ”
Xie Xiaoer felt that it made sense when he heard it, so he didn't bother with her about what happened just now.
She heard the following and asked, "What's the second one?" ”
"The second is that if the bones here are scary, they will definitely think that we will go for a bone examination after the incident. If I had used one of the hundred white bones here, I would have found out. But at that time, I came here secretly and didn't see anything. ”
"So, if they want to be scary, and if they want to have the right bones, they need to use something else?"
Xie Xiaoer followed her words and thought of these.
But Mu Jingzhu thought of more because of this.
He immediately said to Qianxi, "You ask people to take a look, in the previous Wang case, the cemetery of Master Wang and Shopkeeper Zhang, as well as the homeless man, Zhang Dahu and the two people who died after the appearance of white bones. ”
He spoke quickly and in a commanding tone, which made Xie Xiaoer very dissatisfied.
"Little book, how did you talk to Qianxi? You're her subordinate, so you have a bit of an identity, can't you! ”
Mu Jingzhu swept away with a look, and his fierce expression was hard to hide, which made Xie Xiaoer tremble, but he felt that he looked like a person at the moment.
"How do I think you're like-"
Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Qianxi's mouth.
Mu Jingzhu also looked at the gate of the courtyard at the same time.
Outside the closed gate, a powerful coercion suddenly struck!
