His breath is as fresh as spring flowers and plants, which is pleasant to the body and mind. It's not that Ye Tingcheng hasn't been so close to a man, it's just that the corners of Qin Shao's eyes are charming, and there is concern in his eyes, which naturally makes Ye Tingcheng feel a little strange, she feels that her heart is beating twice faster, and her eyes are busy not touching his gaze, her hand is especially held in his palm, his hand is as cool as jade, which makes Ye Tingcheng a little panicked, and she is busy withdrawing her hand back.

"After all, it's a girl, and it's always bad to get a scar." The palms of his hands were empty, Qin Shao also felt a little strange, he said in a disguised way, but his heart couldn't suppress a chaotic beat.

He turned his face away a little annoyed and sat down against the stone wall again.

This time, he really closed his eyes and stopped looking at Ye Tingcheng.

Ye Chengcheng took three steps and returned to the place where he was sitting just now, and picked up the branch wearing rabbit meat, "Fortunately, it's not burnt." She examined the rabbit meat and said awkwardly.

Before she could finish speaking, it began to rain outside.

The rain was very heavy, like a jade basin tilting, the rain silk was like hanging, forming a natural bead curtain at the entrance of the cave, and the two horses moved their hooves restlessly at the entrance of the cave, and also automatically leaned into the cave.

"It's really raining, isn't it?" Ye Chengcheng looked outside in surprise, "It's okay now, I don't know when I'll be able to leave." ”

"yes." Qin Shao also heard the sound of heavy rain, raised his eyes and looked at the sky outside, although it was only afternoon, but the dark clouds in the mountains were overwhelming, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like the rain would stop for a while and a half.

Ye Tingcheng blinked, the sudden heavy rain diluted the embarrassment that flowed between the two of them just now, "By the way, speaking of which, I was trapped by the heavy rain twice, and I was with you every time." Ye Chengcheng said with a smile.

"yes." Qin Shao nodded again.

"It's raining so hard, I don't think those people will chase after me anymore. Even horseshoe prints can be washed away by heavy rain. We should be safe for the time being. Ye Chengcheng said.

"yes." Qin Shao said again.

"Would you say anything other than yes, yes?" Ye Tingcheng asked.

"Yes." Qin Shao said.

Ye Chengcheng......

The atmosphere inside the cave was cold again, except for the occasional crackling sound of the branches burning.

Or Qin Shao couldn't help but cough to break the embarrassment in the cave, "Are you cold?" "Ye Tingcheng is afraid that Qin Shao's body temperature has dropped because of blood loss, and there is still a cold air in the mountains in early spring, but now that it is raining again, the temperature has dropped suddenly, and even Ye Tingcheng feels a little cold on his body.

"Sort of." Qin Shao hesitated for a moment but nodded. Now is not the time for him to be reckless. "But the conditions here are poor, and we can only survive for a while."

"I have a way." Ye Chengcheng looked at the fire in front of him, and his eyes lit up.

She picked up a lot of rocks and put them around the fire, "Wait a minute." I'll get you a warm nest in a moment. ”

Nest...... Qin Shao was slightly embarrassed, he was not an animal, what kind of nest did he want...... However, he was also a little curious about what Ye Chengcheng was going to do.

After Ye Tingcheng roasted all the stones, she took her sleeves and moved the stones away, put the flat side up, and spread them neatly by the fire, it seemed that it was not the first time she had done this kind of thing, extremely skilled, and the paving was fast, and then she took off her coat and spread it on the stone, and then did it herself and tried it, "Wow, it's a little hot, but it's quite comfortable." After she finished speaking, she came over and helped Qin Shao up, and let him sit on the stone mat that had just been made, sure enough, as soon as she sat down, she could immediately feel a warm heat coming up from under her body, which was much better than sitting on the cold stone just now, and even the chill in her body seemed to be dispelled a lot.

"How?" Ye Tingcheng looked at Qin Shao proudly, "This nest is good." ”

Qin Shao frowned when he saw that she was only wearing a thin middle coat, "The princess should put her clothes on." He tried to pull out the coat that was lying underneath him.

"It's okay, just sit down, so you can keep warm." Ye Qingcheng hurriedly stopped him, "I'm very strong, and I usually don't get sick." ”

"Come and sit with the princess." Qin Shao gave way to the side and said to Ye Tingcheng.

"Okay." Ye Chengcheng did not shirk and sat down generously. She and Qin Shao have slept in the same bed, and sitting together is nothing.

Qin Shao gave half of the small blanket that should be on his lap to Ye Qingcheng.

"Thank you." Ye Tingcheng smiled habitually.

Thank you again...... Qin Shao's heart moved slightly.

"The rabbit meat is ready." Ye Qingcheng pinched the rabbit's leg with his hand, and then smiled. After she sprinkled the condiments, she toasted them twice and handed them to Qin Shao, "Let's eat some." Replenish some stamina. Then you just take a break. I'll show you. If the rain stops early, we'll see if we can go back or out of the mountain, and if the rain doesn't stop, we'll wait here now. ”

"Yes." Qin Shao nodded, took the rabbit meat handed over by Ye Tingcheng, took a bite, his mouth was full of crispy fragrance, he ate it carefully, and peeked at Ye Tingcheng.

There is no trace of the weakness that a girl should have on Ye Tingcheng's body, but from the time he was injured to the present, it has been Ye Tingcheng who has been taking care of him. What kind of environment did such a woman grow up in before to practice such a character and temper?

If you say that she has a bad background, she is very cultured and graceful, and if she says that she has a good background, to a certain extent, she is quite rude.

When you think she's stupid, she has a perceptive gaze, you think she's smart, and she'll smirk at you, lazily arguing that she doesn't want to use her brain.

When he fought side by side with her just now, Qin Shao would have an inexplicable sense of reassurance, because every arrow of hers was very accurate, almost perfectly solving his worries, and becoming his biggest assistant, Qin Shao was an expert, and knew that if the judgment between the lightning and flint could be so accurate, after all, it could only be done through a hundred battles, even if many people were experienced in a hundred battles, they might not be able to do it as handy as Ye Tingcheng, and they also had a very keen ability to observe and predict. What kind of place can be trained to kill such a tool of killing. Yes, Ye Tingcheng was an almost perfect killing tool just now, her insight, the decisiveness and angle of her shot, and the strength of her bow and arrow were all just right, as if she had been accurately calculated.

Qin Shao was amazed by the aura of slaughter that she naturally revealed when she stood with her bow just now, as if at that moment, she was a completely different person, her self-confidence was enough to give Ran great encouragement and strength, and her demeanor was difficult to describe in words.

And now she was covered with a small blanket, smiling and gnawing on a rabbit leg, with gluttonous satisfaction in her eyes, as if all the sorrows of the world had been left behind by her, and only the rabbit leg in her hand was the most delicious thing in the world.

What a fan.

"You're peeking at me." Ye Chengcheng suddenly licked his fingers and said to Qin Shao.

Qin Shao was stunned, hurriedly retracted his gaze, his heart suddenly jumped again, and his cheeks were a little hot.

"You're not going to secretly like me, are you?" Ye Tingcheng leaned over, looked at Qin Shao and asked.

"No, there is no ......" Qin Shaoyi was nervous, almost biting his tongue.

"It's good if you don't have it." Ye Qingcheng smiled slightly. "And what do you see me doing?"

"I just think the princess's barbecue skills are good." Qin Shao hurriedly covered up and said. "And there are too many things that princesses will have. The minister knew that the princess was learning from a master. He added a word.

"It's good to know." Ye Tingcheng squinted and said with a smile. "It would be perfect if there was wine."

The corners of Qin Shao's mouth twitched, thinking that this person's large amount of alcohol was scary, and there was a stinky problem of getting drunk with relatives, he didn't want her to touch the wine at all.

"That's right. Who are you killing people today? Ye Chengcheng suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Qin Shao was slightly stunned, the princess's thinking jumped so fast, and she jumped from Fenghua Xueyue to kill people and sell goods in a flash.

"Not a good guy anyway." Qin Shao said.

Ye Qingcheng was angry and glared at Qin Shao, "You are still not the deputy commander of the Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Division?" She asked.

"yes." Qin Shao nodded.

"And you're going to come to that conclusion?" Ye Tingcheng said angrily and funny, she can see the conclusion that she is not a good person?

"Or else?" Qin Shao said, "I haven't investigated, so naturally I can't make judgments." ”

"Is the security of the girder so bad? Murder and arson in broad daylight, and looting of women and children from good families. Ye Chengcheng asked.

"Pingsu, this Hengzhou City is not bad." Qin Shao said, "But no one has been here in the other courtyard for a long time, probably for several years. "Since his father died in the battle, no one in the Guogong Mansion has been to Luliuzhuang, and he really doesn't know much about the situation in Hengzhou. But if those people dare to slaughter a village, how can someone report it to the imperial court.

Why didn't he get any news from Jinyiwei?

Qin Shao thought about it, this kind of village in the deep mountains has not had much contact with the outside world, if the village is really slaughtered, I am afraid that it will not be discovered if it is not ten days and half a month. Who always runs towards the mountains when they have nothing to do, this place is so remote.

Those people only killed the men and old people in the village, and the young women and children were left behind, and it seems that it should be more than just a robbery.

Is it human trafficking?

Since the founding of the Great Liang, the sale of slaves has been prohibited, and good people are not allowed to be forced into slavery, unless it is those who are poor and really can't live and voluntarily sell themselves, this court does not care, but there must be a corresponding contract.

Even if those people dared to sell it, no one would dare to buy such a slave of unknown origin to go back.

Qin Shao frowned, a little puzzled.

"What are you thinking? Let's hear it. Ye Chengcheng saw Qin Shao frowning, knowing that he was thinking about what happened just now, so he asked curiously.

"The minister was thinking, where are those people going to take the women and children of the village? If you really want to sell them, I'm afraid that no one in Daliang will dare to buy such an unknown person. Qin Shao told Ye Tingcheng his doubts in his heart.

"Since the people of the Great Liang don't dare to buy it, what about the others?" Ye Chengcheng himself had been sold as a slave, so he hated these deeply. "What if you can take it to Kuizhou and sell it to the people of Qi, or take it to Rouran and sell it to the people of Rouran?"

"It's not that it can't, but it's a long way from Rouran and Kuizhou. There are several state capitals and so many people along the way, how can they guarantee that they will not be discovered, even if they arrive in the border city, it is not easy to secretly transport so many people out of the beam, as long as they run away, they are likely to lose their efforts. ”

Qin Shao was right. It's still a long way from the border town. If you reach Rouran along the way, you must go through many checkpoints, and it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be discovered.

Ye Chengcheng also fell silent.

Unfortunately, it was a heavy rain, and although the rain washed away the traces left by them when they fled for their lives, it would also wash away the traces left by those people.

"When we get out, let's see if there are any caravans going to the border city or anything like that. If they don't want to be discovered at the checkpoint on the shore, then ......" Before Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, Qin Shao had already picked up her words and said, "Take the waterway!" They can go to the border city from the waterway, and the inspection of the government on the waterway is not so strict, and even if there is, it is only a little look when passing through the gate, and it is not easy for people to find out that there are people on the boat when they take the waterway, even if those people want to escape, the waterway is vast, and there is no route to run. ”

"Is there a river that flows through the border city?" Ye Tingcheng didn't understand the geography of Da Liang and asked curiously.

"Yes." Qin Shao nodded, "This big river will pass through many places in Rouran. Some of the wealthiest tribes in Jouran are in the vicinity of the river. ”

"Is the tribe of Bogur also near the river you said?" Ye Tingcheng asked again.

"Yes." Qin Shao nodded again, and then he glanced at Ye Qingcheng strangely.

Ye Chengcheng received his gaze, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just asking, don't worry, I will definitely not go to him until I fulfill the five-year covenant." ”

Qin Shao didn't say anything, but looked away, he raised his hand a little mechanically and took a bite of the rabbit meat in his hand, what he obviously thought was very delicious just now, but now it was like chewing wax in his mouth, and it was tasteless.

Qin Shao frowned again, looking a little excited, he finished eating the rabbit meat, and just wanted to find a place to throw it away, he saw Ye Qingcheng take away the bones in his hand, and then wiped his hands with a cleaned silk handkerchief.

The cool wet handkerchief stroked from his fingers, and Qin Shao's heart seemed to calm down.

He felt a little funny, obviously they had already agreed before, only five years, and after five years, they would be free, so what was he still struggling with.

After these five years, he and she will be free.

It was only when Ye Chengcheng asked about Bogul's tribe just now, Qin Shao felt that he didn't want to tell her at all, but he said it anyway.

He was going to stay away from her...... A voice in his heart kept warning him, but now he felt a little cold on his body, and her body was very warm, he could even feel the warmth passing from the half of the blanket when he sat on the side, as if there were countless bewitching little hands calling him, so that he gradually leaned towards her side.

He was just injured. That's why he coveted that moment of warmth, Qin Shao was telling himself.

"Isn't it still cold?" Ye Tingcheng also noticed that Qin Shao's body was getting colder, and she looked at Qin Shao's pale face with a little worry.

"It's okay, just get through it for a while." Qin Shao said. He can't fight the cold for the time being, because the acupuncture point is sealed by himself, and it will take six hours to unlock it, and now that the acupoint is unlocked, it is likely to bleed again. Qin Shao understood this very well, so in these six hours, he was relatively weak.

Fortunately, this heavy rain has also helped them a lot, at least now those people will not chase after them.

Ye Tingcheng turned up the fire a little more, although she picked up a lot of branches, but now she has burned nearly half of them, Ye Tingcheng is a little worried, if the fire is extinguished, it will be colder here, what will Qin Shao do then?

Do you want to use the most common bloody plot in the TV series, and she goes to mention Qin Shao for warmth? Ye Tingcheng trembled with blood on his face when he thought about it, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Feeling that the stones under her body were no longer hot, Ye Tingcheng could only get up and roast those stones again and re-pave them, and tossed back and forth twice like this, and the firewood she picked up finally burned to the end, but the rain still had no intention of stopping.

Ye Chengcheng sighed lowly, paved the hot stone for the last time, and then helped Qin Shao to sit down, "You can rest on my legs." ”

Qin Shao's body stiffened, "Princess." His voice was a little hoarse, and he looked at Ye Qingcheng in surprise.

"It's okay, the fire will go out in a moment. I don't have anything to warm you anymore. It is estimated that it will be very cold here at night. The two of us don't have to shy away from anything. Lean together to warm up. Ye Tingcheng smiled bitterly, she wouldn't be so thunderous, and she would keep warm by stripping naked and leaning together, so that it was enough for the two of them to snuggle together.

Qin Shao didn't speak, but according to what Ye Tingcheng said, he rested his head on Ye Tingcheng's lap, and lay down on his side, as soon as his head rested on her soft and elastic leg meat, Qin Shao felt a wave of tiredness coming, he lost a lot of blood today, and it was not easy to hold on until now.

Ye Chengcheng carefully avoided his wound with his arm, put his clothes on his body, and put a small blanket over the two of them.

The wind outside blew in with wet rain, and it was really cold.

However, Qin Shao felt very relieved and funny, obviously the person who hugged his shoulder had the face of a person he wanted to strangle to death before, but now he felt a burst of warmth transmitted from her, which made him a little smoky, and the stone that had just been baked made him not so cold.

Qin Shao actually really fell asleep.

And I slept very deeply.

He didn't seem to have slept so well in a long time, and he didn't have any nightmares at all.

When he woke up, he found that the rain outside had stopped, he opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and then was shocked, the morning light had been projected through the hole outside, did he actually sleep all night plus half a day?

The sealed acupuncture points had been automatically untied, and now his blood was flowing smoothly. He hurriedly propped himself up and looked at the girl beside him.

"You're finally awake." Ye Qingcheng smiled, and there was obvious surprise in his eyes. He didn't know that she was really worried about last night, afraid that something would happen to him. He slept so deeply, Shen made her a little frightened, and even probed his snort several times to make sure that he was still alive, and Ye Tingcheng settled down a little.

There was obvious fatigue under her eyes, and even her voice was a little hoarse, Qin Shao realized that the original blanket and clothes had been wrapped around his body, and she was wearing the thin middle coat from last night.

Her face is also very bad, a little pale, and a little blue, and the lip color that is usually like cherry blossoms has lost its luster and moisture, and the corners of her lips are dry.

Qin Shao was in a hurry, and he didn't care about any taboos and directly held Ye Qingcheng's hand, sure enough, her hand was cold, but he was warm.

"Did the princess sit like this all night?" Qin Shao asked anxiously.

"It's okay, it's nothing." Ye Tingcheng smiled, "It's good that you can wake up." The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and I have just examined your wounds, and they have not collapsed, nor have they bled again, and I will help you to get on your horse in a while, and we will find our way back. Ye Tingcheng was about to stand up after speaking, but she had been in one position for too long, and her waist and legs were almost unconscious, especially Qin Shao still slept on her lap all night, so that her legs did not have smooth blood flow, this station, the two legs seemed to be crawled by countless ants in an instant, it was stinging, and it was itchy, Ye Tingcheng exclaimed in surprise, and his body fell forward.

It's not that she doesn't give her strength, but her legs don't obey her call.

Qin Shao quickly grabbed Ye Tingcheng, and with a force, he pulled his own wound, he wanted to pull Ye Tingcheng in front of him to stabilize her body, but the injury on his shoulder was really a heart-piercing pain, making his movements stagnate, Ye Tingcheng had been dragged over by him, and he didn't stop it, Ye Tingcheng crashed into his arms alive, the momentum did not decrease, plus Ye Tingcheng's legs were numb and weak, and the person slid down, Qin Shao simply hugged her in order not to let her slide to the ground, Her lips were so dead that they stuck to the corners of Qin Shao's lips, and the two of them stopped.

This one was tall and one short, one sitting, the other in an already strange posture attached to one's arms, and both of them were obviously confused by the sudden situation.

Ye Qingcheng's eyes widened, Qin Shao's skin was clearly visible, and even his hanging eyelashes were exposed one by one, covering his face like a thick little fan.

There was a warm breath on her lips, like the fragrance of grass and trees, and the breath belonging to Qin Shao instantly submerged Ye Qingcheng, making her brain completely blank for a moment.

The same is true for Qin Shao.

The corners of his lips are soft and cool to the touch, a little moist, but not very moist, cool, that feeling makes people have a little more sweetness, and a little more suffocating feeling that makes Qin Shao a little suffocated, his blood instantly gushed onto his face, and his handsome face was a little red.

"Minister. It's just that...... I want to hold the princess. Qin Shao was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, hurriedly turned away from his face, and said worriedly.

"I know." It's embarrassing! Ye Tingcheng also came back to his senses, turned his face away, and said to Qin Shao. "I was weak on my feet, so I didn't stand firm, after all, I sat for too long." She was also busy explaining. Her face also involuntarily felt like a fire.

I'm so old that I still blush...... Although Ye Tingcheng spurned herself in her heart, she couldn't stop this blushing trend.

"The princess should sit for a while, and wait for the blood to flow smoothly." Qin Shao hurriedly diverted the topic and said.

"yes. I was in a hurry. Ye Tingcheng nodded immediately, rubbing her leg like a stream, and after a while, the blood on her leg flowed smoothly, and she picked up her coat that fell on the ground and put it on again, and then helped Qin Shao to get on the horse.

It was not difficult to find the way back, the two of them didn't dare to go to the vicinity of that village to take a look, now that Qin Shao was injured, he couldn't get into any more predicament.

Because Qin Shao and Ye Chengcheng did not return overnight, the people in Luliuzhuang were in a hurry, especially Su He and Su Qing, who almost had to go to the government to report to the government. Fortunately, when it was noon, Qin Shao and Ye Tingcheng came back together, although they were embarrassed, but Ye Tingcheng was safe and sound, and Su He and Su Qing were relieved.

Qin Shao was injured and was helped into the room by the servants in the Green Willow Village, and Ye Qingcheng asked the people in the Zhuangzi to go to the city to find a doctor quickly.

After a chaotic toss, Qin Shao's wounds were re-treated, and the high-grade gold creation medicine was wrapped in cotton yarn, which was counted as a stop. The doctor said that Qin Shao's luck was good, and he avoided the fatal places, but in fact, it was not that he was lucky, but that he had already avoided all the fatal points on his body when he blocked the arrows with his body, and he still had this ability.

At Qin Shao's insistence, the doctor also showed Ye Tingcheng, saying that she was a little cold, and Kaile ordered medicine for her to take, and then went to take a hot bath and eat something.

Qin Shao was relieved at this time.

Although Qin Shao was recuperating from his injuries, he was not idle, he ordered someone to send a letter to Hengzhou, and in the evening, several people wearing brocade clothes and flying fish suits came to Zhuangzi.

Ye Tingcheng just rested and went to see Qin Shao, as soon as he saw those handsome young men wearing flying fish suits, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes seemed to be glued to them, Qin Shao couldn't help frowning deeply, those people were far worse than him in appearance, what did the excitement in Ye Tingcheng's eyes mean?

Qin Shao was very depressed.

When he had told them what he had seen, he sent them to the village to check on their behalf.

It wasn't until he finished his words and the brocade guards left that Ye Tingcheng's gaze reluctantly took back.

"It's so handsome." Ye Chengcheng exclaimed with a face.

Handsome? Qin Shao was depressed, those people were only slightly good-looking at best, was he really handsome? Qin Shao had always been very confident in his appearance, but now he was hit by Ye Tingcheng's expression.

"The Flying Fish suit is perfect." Ye Tingcheng said again.

Qin Shao almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water, he looked at Ye Qingcheng strangely, "Does the princess think that dress is handsome?" He couldn't help but ask.

"yes." Ye Chengcheng came back to his senses, "By the way, you have it too." ”

"Yes." Qin Shao was embarrassed for a moment, and for the first time felt that it seemed like a blessing to have a flying fish suit.

"It's useless if you have." Ye Qingcheng immediately struck Qin Shao again, "You don't wear it again, besides, the color of your current flying fish suit is ugly." yellow yellow, where is the black just now good-looking! ”

Qin Shao really wants to squirt out a mouthful of old blood, yellow? Is it good to be golden brown?

"Does the princess like to watch the flying fish suit?" Qin Shao asked again.

"Nonsense, isn't it looking at the flying fish suit, but looking at the people?" Ye Chengcheng pushed back. "What's so nice about those guys?"

Qin Shao felt at ease. It's not good to look at people, he has clothes, and after returning to Beijing, he takes them out and hangs them in a row for her to see enough.

This fetish of the princess is really special......

The Jinyi guards moved quickly, and they went to check on behalf of others overnight, and a report was sent the next day.

Sure enough, as Qin Shao and Ye Chengcheng saw, the village in the deep mountains and old forests had been burned to the ground, if Qin Shao said the location carefully, those brocade guards and people really didn't find it, only a piece of ruins and broken tiles, and there were traces of burnt black and blackened, and when it rained heavily, even the blackened soil on the ground was washed away. They also found the pit where the bodies were burned, dug it up, and found that there were less than a hundred bodies that had been burned and whose faces could not be recognized.

If it weren't for this scene being seen by Qin Shao and Ye Chengcheng, who happened to pass by, that village would have almost disappeared without realizing it.

It is already in the deep mountains and rarely has contact with the outside world, if you wait for people outside to find out, I am afraid that it will really take a while, even if passers-by pass by inadvertently, they will only feel that they have passed through a village that has been abandoned for I don't know how many years.

This is a big case, involving 100 lives, as well as the disappearance of women and children in the village, even the yamen of Hengzhou were shaken, they went to check a lot of county records, and confirmed that there is indeed a village in the mountain that does not have much contact with the outside world, and the people in the village basically live a self-sufficient life, exchanging mountain treasures for some necessities of life. Once every two months, I will go out of the mountain and go to Hengzhou or other markets to exchange.

Qin Shao's status is high, and Ye Tingcheng has the title of princess, so the magistrate of Hengzhou County was also frightened and ran over to say hello.

Qin Shao ordered him to thoroughly investigate whether there was a fleet passing through Hengshui in the past few days, all the way to the northeast, and the county order was immediately done, and soon there was an answer, there was indeed a fleet of ships that came all the way from the upper reaches of Hengshui and made a short stay in Hengzhou.

The fleet was heading northeast.

Qin Shao immediately sent someone to track down the fleet.

After a lapse of four days, the news came back that they chased the fleet downstream of Hengshui, but when they got on the boat to check, the five big boats were quiet, and only one of the big boats found a full cabin of dead people, all women and children, it seemed that they should have been poisoned, while the shipwrights and others on the ship all disappeared.

The clue seems to have broken right here.

There were a large number of private people in the full cabin, and it seemed that it was not just a village.

Qin Shao ordered people to check upstream along Hengshui to see if there were similar villages destroyed.

This case no longer only involves a county government in Hengzhou, Qin Shao can no longer live here, when he encounters such a thing, he must immediately rush back to the capital and play His Majesty.

Therefore, Qin Shao and Ye Chengcheng embarked on the journey back to Beijing again.

When she returned to the Guogong Mansion, the news of Qin Shao's injury spread, but Mrs. Mei was in a hurry, so she invited the imperial doctor in the palace to come over and re-examine Qin Shao's wounds, so she was relieved.

Even the Duchess of Guo came to see Qin Shao's injury in person, and she was relieved to be sure that it was nothing serious.

Duchess Guo said a few words to Qin Shao, then turned to Ye Tingcheng and said, "It's a blessing that the princess is fine. ”

"Thank you grandmother for your concern." Ye Chengcheng said good-naturedly.

"But the princess should not be too playful in the future, this time it is lucky, both of them came back safely, and what will happen in the future is uncertain." Duchess Guo said with a little seriousness.

"Yes." Ye Tingcheng lowered his eyebrows and responded.

"Grandmother. It's not that the princess is playful. Qin Shao frowned slightly, and said in a round for Ye Chengcheng.

"Okay, I know you're looking for your daughter-in-law. But there must also be a degree of spoiling. The Duchess glared at Qin Shao and said, "Don't go along with everything." Don't forget who you are. She reminded.

"Yes." Qin Shao had no choice but to respond.

Seeing that Ye Tingcheng didn't mean to refute her at all. Only then did the Duchess tell her a few more words and leave Ning Yuan Pavilion.

After the old duchess left, Qin Shao looked at Ye Qingcheng slightly apologetically, "Grandmother, she is more protective, so what she said is not good." Everyone can hear the meaning of the lesson in the words of the Duchess of the Kingdom, and Ye Chengcheng is not a fool.

According to the meaning of the Duchess of the Kingdom, Ye Tingcheng became the initiator of this incident.

Qin Shao has always been a cold and fun-loving person, and now that Ye Tingcheng has only come to Qin Mansion for a short time, Qin Shao took Ye Tingcheng out to play, in the eyes of the old woman, it was obvious that the princess wanted to avoid her and avoid the rules of this mansion, so she made Qin Shao take her out to play.

Originally, she wanted to say that the princess would go out and play if she wanted to. With her grandson watching, she can't say anything bad, and she can't turn the sky upside down. But now that he had only been out for a few days, Qin Shao came back with three holes. This is called the regret of the Duchess of the Kingdom, and she would not have agreed to let them go out to play if she knew it. Isn't that nothing?

So when she saw Ye Tingcheng, she couldn't help but count her down a few words.

At the same time, she saw that Qin Shao was speaking for Ye Tingcheng, so she had to remind Qin Shao to remember his identity, remember the contract he said with Ye Tingcheng, and don't mess around with her for everything.

In the face of Qin Shao's apology, Ye Qingcheng didn't feel anything.

She had long known that the Duchess didn't like her, so most of the time when she stood in front of the Duchess and listened to her, Ye Tingcheng pinched half of her ears, and one ear went in and one ear went out, so she wouldn't be as knowledgeable as an old woman who was over half a hundred years old.

So what the Duchess said, Ye Chengcheng was about to forget.

"Don't worry, I won't be angry with her." Ye Tingcheng said lightly, "She also cares about you, so she counts me down." ”

Qin Shao breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "It's good that you're not angry." ”

"I look like someone who gets angry so easily?" Ye Tingcheng pointed to his nose and smiled.

Because there was such a big case, Qin Shao went to the yamen in advance before he finished his vacation, and he was injured, so the commander only asked him to temporarily coerce the investigation, but handed over the case to another deputy commander to investigate.

Because there were too many people involved in this case, and the methods of those people were too cruel, even Emperor Zhao was shocked. Emperor Zhao was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case.

Someone actually erased the existence of a village in the territory of Daliang without realizing it, so what is it? Today is to erase a village, in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not erase a county government and a state capital...... In the past, is the girder still called the girder?

He ordered the prefectures and counties in the upper reaches of Hengshui to inspect the villages in his county to see if there were any people who had disappeared inexplicably recently.

With His Majesty coming forward, this holy decree naturally quickly arrived in some states and counties in the upper reaches of Hengshui in Hengzhou, and everyone began to check, about half a month later, Qin Shao received a report from the upstream states and counties, and after careful investigation, two villages in the upstream states and counties have lost contact for a long time.

These two villages are very similar to the village in Hengzhou in terms of geographical location, layout, and population, and they were also burned, and a large pit for burning corpses was also found at the head of the village. Dig up the big pit, the tragic situation is unbearable to look at.

A few days later, the ownership of those big ships was also investigated, and a person ordered them from a shipyard in the upper reaches of Hengshui.

Jin Yiwei found the owner of the dock, the boss looked innocent, he was just a person who collected money and built ships for people, only asked about the needs of guests, and would not ask so carefully, but the owner of the dock was very sure to Jinyiwei who went to investigate that the ship was set by someone looking for him a few months ago. Although the person who came to order the ship at that time spoke the language of Daliang, his tone was blunt, and it seemed that he should be a Rouran person, because his figure was very burly and his eyes were a little deep.

Since they are Rouran people, it proves that Ye Qingcheng's conjecture before is not bad, those people are likely to be sent to Rouran by boat, and then sold as slaves.

What a fortune this is for so many people......

Now the source of slaves is getting less and less, so slaves are becoming more and more expensive, especially those from Daliang and Daqi, which are sought-after goods in the homes of the Rouran nobles.

It's just that there are many tribes in Rouran, and there is no way to determine which tribe that person belongs to.

For a long time, Rouran has only been at odds with Daqi, and the relationship with Daliang has always been better.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao was furious, and he married the Rouran people, but the Rouran people came to his land to seek money and kill him.

Is it tolerable or unbearable!
