Qi Ping's men swarmed up and restrained the two followers.

The corpse of Cao Langzhong was quickly carried out.

Wipe the blood, change the decoration of the update, and after a while, the house will be cleaned up.

Gui Niang also went to change her clothes and stood silently beside Ji Xiaowu.

The smile on Qi Ping's face flashed, but his tone was very gentle: "Brother Guo, Gui Niang is very scared, you can stay with her here for a while, okay?" ”

Ji Xiaowu raised his head, his eyes were a little dazed.

Qi Ping smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and prepared to go out.

Before leaving, I called Duofu.

Duofu refused to leave: "I want to accompany Childe." ”

Qi Ping said: "Your son-in-law is very scared, let him be quiet for a while." ”

Duofu opened his mouth, saw that Ji Xiaowu's fugue was too empty, struggled for a long time, and complied.

Only Ji Xiaowu and Gui Niang were left in the house.

Gui Niang wanted to speak, but when she saw his expression, she swallowed it back again.

Ji Xiaowu spoke first: "Sister, what I said before is still valid, are you willing to let me redeem myself for you?" In the future, I will change my identity, be a good wife, find a good person to marry, and have children......"

Gui Niang looked away, with a sad look in her eyes: "Guo Gongzi ......"

"Look at you, what kind of life are you living here? If I don't come back in time today, will you ......?"

Gui Niang was silent.

"Actually, this is the first time I've killed someone." Ji Xiaowu looked down at his hands, "I don't know how to ...... it."

Gui Niang's eyes were even more sad. The master of Qi originally asked her to entangle Guo Gongzi, tell him to kill Cao Langzhong by mistake, and drag him into the water. She didn't really want to do it, even at the last minute, she wondered if she could pretend she hadn't done it......

Unexpectedly, she didn't do anything, so Guo Gongzi took action......

Gui Niang felt that she was standing on the edge of the cliff, and with a slight push, she could make him fall down and die without a place to be buried.

Of course, she could do otherwise. But the consequence of not doing it is that she will die without a place to be buried.

I don't know how long it took, she grabbed Ji Xiaowu's sleeve, raised her tearful face, and said: "Guo Gongzi, Gui Niang will follow you in the future!" ”

Ji Xiaowu glanced at her, lowered his eyes, and hid his fleeting disappointment.

Sure enough, is this a trap?

……

Qi Ping entered the courtyard next door.

"Elder, that kid really took the bait."

Elder Ge nodded, without any joy on his face.

Qi Ping felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong: "Elder, is something wrong?" ”

Elder Ge poured a sip of wine gourd and said, "The nests outside us have all been copied. ”

Qi Ping was stunned: "How could it be ......?"

"I heard that the Imperial City Division intervened, and this incident made a big fuss." Elder Ge frowned, "Who told them not to have long eyes, and abducted the young lady of the Chengenhou family." ”

In fact, this kind of young lady from a wealthy background is their favorite target. Because they have been clothed and fed since they were children, they have good manners and temperament.

It's just that they have always been very measured, and they don't touch that kind of identity that is too prominent.

Unexpectedly, this time, the kidnappers under him were careless and actually kidnapped the young lady of the Chengenhou family.

That's not an ordinary Miss Houfu, it's the prince's cousin!

By the time I found out, it was too late.

Hand them over now, and don't expect to calm the turmoil. The Imperial City Division has intervened, and there must be a result.

As he was talking, someone outside hurriedly came to report: "Elder, our stronghold in Pingfu Lane has also been copied!" ”

Qi Ping was stunned: "What? Even Pingfu Lane ......"

Pingfu Lane is inhabited by good people, and only a few people know that it is also one of the strongholds of the beggar gang.

Elder Ge frowned: "Pingfu Lane actually let them know?" ”

Qi Ping heard a hint of anxiety in his voice, and hurriedly asked, "Elder, the Imperial City Division is the Imperial City Division after all. Now that Pingfu Lane is exposed, then ...... here"

Elder Ge hesitated for a long time, still a little reluctant: "Wait a minute, there are fewer people in Kangle Lane who know, and they may not know." ”

……

A carriage that went to the emblem was parked outside Connaught Lane.

There are often high-ranking officials and dignitaries coming and going, but it is not eye-catching.

In the car, after listening to the little white snake's briefing, Mingwei couldn't help frowning: "What do they want to do?" ”

Yang Shu said lazily: "Isn't this matter obvious? Lure your cousin in the bait with a beauty and involve him in a murder case. In order to protect himself, he was brought into the ditch step by step. Whether it is to use this matter to catch up with the Guo family, or to take this opportunity to attack the Guo family, it will be of great benefit to them. ”

It's a pity that Ji Xiaowu is an imposter Guo Xiaogongzi.

Mingwei's eyes lit up: "This is a great opportunity." If they want to push their cousin into the pit, we'll just do it......"

Yang Shu's fan tapped on the palm of his hand and said with a smile: "That's what I mean." ”

He lifted the curtains, glanced at the guards outside, and whispered a few words when he got closer.

The Dark Guard nodded and left.

The two of them waited for a short time before the sound of stepping on the horse sounded again.

……

As early as when the official errand left Pingfu Lane and came to Kangle Lane, Elder Ge received a report.

Qi Ping panicked when he heard this: "Elder, could it be that they are also known here?" ”

Pingfu Lane is not enough, but this is an important stronghold for them to make friends with high-ranking officials, and the best female actors are here.

Elder Ge was also taken aback, but he reacted extremely quickly: "What are you doing in a daze?" Quick, move the place! ”

This means, abandoning the stronghold.

Qi Ping was a little reluctant, but he also knew that it was more important to save his life, and it was a big deal to make a comeback after the limelight.

So he confessed and hurried back.

"Brother Guo, Brother Guo!" He hurriedly pushed open Gui Niang's door, and saw that the two of them were still leaning together, anxious, but also a little proud.

This Guo Xiaogongzi really easily fell into the trap.

Thinking so in his heart, he didn't miss anything on his face, and said hurriedly: "Brother Guo, it's not good!" An official messenger is coming here. ”

"Ahh Ji Xiaowu was taken aback and said in a panic, "Did it happen?" How can it be so fast? ”

"I don't know." Qi Ping deliberately did not clarify.

"So what should I do? No, you can't call the official to arrest it. Gui Niang, let's go together! ”

Gui Niang didn't expect this, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Qi Ping grabbed him violently: "No! Those officials will arrive soon, and you won't be able to escape with Gui Niang. ”

"What then?" Ji Xiao has no master.

Qi Ping said at the right time: "Brother Guo, calm down!" How can you, my brother, cause you to suffer? Listen to me, there's a secret passage in the next room......"

"Good, good!" Ji Xiaowu was overjoyed and grabbed his hand tightly, "Brother Qi's help, the little brother will definitely repay him in the future." ”

"It's all brothers, what do you say you can't report? Quick, don't pack up, hurry up! ”

The officials entered Kangle Lane, where several houses were empty......
