"What Guard Feng said is not unreasonable." Ji Yunyun listened and said slowly, "However, it is impossible for Miss Hu to admit it by herself, only by catching the bandit leader can the truth be revealed." ”

"That abandoned passage is almost cleared, I'll go back and let people speed up the progress and try to catch the bandit leader as soon as possible." Qi Cheng put away the portrait and quickly went out.

Seeing that Qi Cheng was gone, Ji Yunyun instructed Feng Ji, "From today onwards, you take a few more people to keep an eye on Miss Hu, and if you find that she meets the bandit leader again, you must catch him!" ”

"Yes, ma'am." Qi accepted the order and also retreated.

Hu Qiaoer was hungry last night, learned a lesson, knew that no one in this house took her seriously, although she was wronged, but she didn't dare to go back to her parents' house casually, she was used to being served by others, and she didn't want to go back to the hard days before.

Therefore, she learned to be obedient, honestly served three meals a day, and asked Ji Yunyun for peace every day, and at the same time, racked her brains to think of a way, hoping that Qi Cheng would not be able to catch the bandit leader and bring her back to the capital as soon as possible.

The bandit leader never said that she would be arrested as the lady of the village, it was a lie she told in order to prevent Brother Ah Cheng from leaving. The bandit leader knew her secret, and she thought that this method would allow Brother Ah Cheng to stay, and let Brother Ah Cheng get rid of the bandit leader and prevent her secret from leaking out. But she never expected to be pregnant, and in a hurry, she could only say that the child was Brother Cheng's. Although this can allow her to stay by Brother Cheng's side, as long as the bandit leader is caught, he will definitely expose it.

She can't be exposed, she wants to follow Brother A Cheng to the capital to live a good life, away from everything here.

made up her mind, and finally made her think of a fake death scene, she was looking for an opportunity to go out and meet the bandit leader quietly, when she heard the news that the bandit leader had been caught.

"Caught?" She asked Xiaohong in surprise.

"Yes." Xiaohong nodded, "Shizi found an abandoned secret passage leading to the mountain before, and after letting people dig it quietly, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the bandits in the mountain and rushed in with the officers and soldiers, and caught all the bandits and sent them to prison. ”

"But ......" Xiaohong paused and said: "The bandit leader, said that he had something to tell the prince, and the Feng guards asked him to come back and lock him up in the firewood room in the side courtyard, and wait for the prince to come back." ”

Hu Qiao'er's heart tightened, and she forced a smile: "Great, I finally caught it." ”

Xiaohong said: "Madame asked me to come and ask the girl to clean up and return to the capital in two days." ”

"Got it." Hu Qiao'er nodded, waited until Xiaohong went out and closed the door, and sat down on the chair, her face pale, her fingers tightly clutching the handkerchief.

The sky was getting dark little by little, Hu Qiao'er was spinning around like a headless fly in the house, and now that everyone was in the yard, she didn't dare to make any movement. She was anxious, suddenly there was a panicked shout outside, and she vaguely heard something bleeding, she opened the door and saw Feng Ji coming out of the next door with a tightly wrapped person.

"What's wrong?" She hurriedly grabbed Xiaohong outside the door and asked.

Xiaohong panicked: "Madame accidentally hit her stomach, and the prince hasn't come back yet, so Feng Guards took someone to take her to the hospital." ”

While he was talking, the guards in the courtyard and the two maids beside Ji Yunyun left, and there were only three or four maids left in the huge courtyard.

The weather was cold, and the remaining maids quickly went back to the house to rest, Hu Qiao'er fidgeted in the house for a while, opened the door, and quietly went to the side courtyard by taking advantage of the dark night.

The courtyard was quiet, and the two little guys guarding the door hid in the house and whispered to warm wine. Hu Qiaoer quietly slipped into the courtyard and went to the firewood room.

I don't know why, there is no one guarding the door of the firewood room. Worried that someone would come back, Hu Qiaoer didn't think much about it, and quickly took out a wire from his sleeve and tinkered with it in the door lock.

Her uncle was a locksmith, and she learned from her uncle how to pick locks since she was a child. When she opened the lock, she hurriedly pushed the door open and went in, searched the house with her eyes peeled up, and found a figure tied up behind the pile of firewood and straw.

Hu Qiao'er walked over in three steps and two steps, and whispered while fumbling to untie the rope on the figure's body: "They are not here now, you should flee quickly, go out of the city, and never come back." ”

She untied the rope, but saw that the man just stood up, did not move a step, and was in a hurry, and hurriedly pushed him: "You go quickly." ”

"Miss Hu, where do you want me to go?" The figure spoke slowly, Hu Qiao'er's eyes widened in shock, and the person's voice ...... It's Feng Ji!

Shocked, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door of the firewood room, as well as the light of the lantern, Qi Cheng came in from outside the door of the firewood room, looked at her and said coldly: "Miss Hu, why are you here?" Explain. ”

Hu Qiaoer's face turned pale, and she forced out a smile, "Solution...... Explain what, I'm just ...... I just wanted to make some food myself, and there was no firewood in the kitchen, so I came to the firewood room......"

Feng Ji sneered: "Don't make up excuses, did you forget what you said so quickly?" Obviously, you know that the bandit leader is locked up here, and he came secretly to let him go! ”

No matter how stupid Hu Qiao'er was, she looked at Qi Cheng in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Cheng, you deliberately deceived me?" ”

"You deceived first." Qi Cheng wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at her, "You clearly know the bandit chief, but you lied to me that he wanted to forcibly tie you up to the mountain as a lady of the village." ”

"Brother Cheng......" Hu Qiao'er had tears in her eyes, "I also did this to let you stay, I really like you." ”

"Like is not like you, and liking shouldn't lie." Qi Cheng's eyes were cold, unmoved at all, and asked expressionlessly: "I only ask you, is the child in your belly the bandit leader?" ”

Hu Qiao'er was slightly stunned, and denied it without hesitation: "No! The child in my belly, has nothing to do with him! ”

"It's all come to this point, and you still deny it?" Feng Ji looked at her incredulously, "I obviously saw you and him secretly meeting in private, if the child in your belly is not his, what are you doing secretly running here to let him go?!" ”

Countless thoughts flashed in Hu Qiaoer's heart, and she quickly had a countermeasure, biting her lip tightly and saying categorically: "Although he is a bandit and has treated me wrongly, he didn't succeed after all, and he saved me once later." I told him a lie, and I felt guilty, so I thought about letting him go. He has nothing to do with the child in my womb! ”

Feng Ji never thought that he had been caught, and he could still be sophistry by her, and he was speechless in anger.

Qi Cheng frowned deeply, and asked her several times in succession, she kept insisting that the child had nothing to do with the bandit leader, Qi Cheng couldn't, so he could only temporarily lock her in the house and let people guard her outside the door, and not let her go out at will.

Ji Yunyun was waiting for them in the room, and when she heard about Hu Qiao'er's denial, she pinched her eyebrows and said, "She knew that we didn't catch the bandit leader, so she denied it so resolutely." If you want her to admit it, you can only catch the bandit leader. ”

Feng Ji frowned, "But he escaped, I don't know where he fled, in case he is no longer in Lingguan City, where are you going to catch him?" ”

Qi Cheng's finger clicked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "He is injured and can't run too far, let the government post his portrait along the way and increase the search efforts." At that time, he had nowhere to run but to come back and find someone to help. ”

Ji Yunyun understood what he meant, and also nodded: "That bandit leader is likely to come back to find Miss Hu, and let the guards keep an eye on it in the dark around the house, so that no one can find out." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Feng Ji received the order and quickly went out to order.

The portrait of the bandit leader was quickly posted along the way, and the officers and soldiers searched inside and outside the city day and night. Hu Qiaoer was locked up in the house, and her daily meals were delivered on time, but she was not allowed to go out.

On this day, Yu came to see her, she had heard about Hu Qiao'er and the bandit prime minister's acquaintance, and when she saw her daughter, she wiped her tears and said: "Qiao'er, such a big thing, why are you hiding it from me and your father, you let people arrest him, and let him go yourself, aren't you playing tricks?" Who is Shizi, why did you make him toss so much? You kid, you're too bold to act recklessly. ”

"Mother, I was also trying to prevent Brother Ah Cheng from leaving." Hu Qiao'er frowned and said angrily: "I'm already very annoyed when I'm locked in the house and can't go out, and I know it's wrong, can you stop mentioning this matter." ”

"Okay, I won't mention it, I won't mention it." Yu wiped his tears, took his daughter's hand, and asked solemnly: "Then let me ask you, does the child in your belly have anything to do with that bandit leader?" ”

"Mother, why do you think so?" Hu Qiao'er stomped her feet angrily, "It's okay, it's okay, my daughter swears, my daughter's child has nothing to do with that bandit leader, if my daughter lies, then there will be five thunderstorms every day, and I won't die well!" ”

"Phew, bah, bah." Yu Shi hurriedly spat on the ground and glared at his daughter angrily, "No, no, why did you swear such a poisonous oath?!" ”

Hu Qiao'er pursed her lips aggrievedly, "It's not that you don't believe me." ”

"Believe, believe." Yu nodded hurriedly and said, "As long as the child in your belly has nothing to do with that bandit leader, the prince will not do anything to you." But you lied to him, and he should be angry now, just wait until he is angry. ”

In Ji Yunyun's house, Feng Ji recounted what he overheard Hu Qiao'er and Yu Shi saying.

Feng Ji hesitated: "Madam, did we guess wrong, the child in her womb really has nothing to do with the bandit leader?" ”

After Ji Yunyun listened, his eyes were complicated, and his fingers couldn't help but clench in his sleeves, if it had nothing to do with the bandit leader, then Hu Qiao'er didn't lie, the child is...... Qi Cheng's.

Feng Ji obviously thought of this as well, he looked at Ji Yunyun who was speechless worriedly, and whispered, "Madam......"

Ji Yunyun took a deep breath, pursed her lips and said, "It's too early to say anything, everything will wait until the bandit leader is caught." ”

It was night, the sky was dark, the sky was snowflakes again, the people in the courtyard had already gone down to rest, and the lights in Ji Yunyun and Hu Qiaoer's house were also extinguished. Hu Qiao'er was lying on the bed, when she suddenly heard a slight sound of tiles above her head, she hurriedly sat up and looked up, and saw a black shadow jumping down from the roof.
