"Qingyi, what is the relationship between you and Mingzhang?" Shen Yu's sudden question made Qingyi stunned. He was stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a dodgy tone: "What did Master Hou say...... The subordinates don't understand......"

"Since you are willing to confide the news, it shows that you are sincerely repentant, and you still want to hide it now?" Shen Yu's voice was low, with a bit of sharpness, like a piece of thinned blades straight into Qingyi's ears, and he even heard it painfully.

Originally, Qingyi simply wanted to remind Shen Yu, and he also made up his mind to take all the responsibility on himself, and never mentioned the mastermind behind him. Unexpectedly, Shen Yu's heart was like a mirror, and he had already guessed it by himself.

"It's the subordinates who can't live with you......" Qingyi was even more ashamed, in recent years, he had also followed Shen Yu in and out of the battlefield, bleeding and sweating, but at this moment he couldn't stop choking up: "Master Hou killed his subordinates, but your subordinates please don't go to Fangzhou." ”

"What is the relationship between you and Mingzhang?" Shen Yu still said this, insisting on breaking the casserole and asking to the end, but his voice was deeper and his tone was colder.

Qingyi still refused to answer.

Shen Yu sighed coldly, and said in endless frustration: "I think I have treated you well all these years, and you betrayed me so easily. This sentence is not a harsh reprimand, but it is chilling, extremely chilling.

"No...... No, your subordinates didn't betray you......" Qingyi choked up more and more when he heard this, and he tried his best to explain, a beautiful face full of struggle and pain. opened his mouth to speak, but he stopped talking, but he could only tremble his lips slightly for a while, and said frankly: "Your subordinates have not betrayed you, your subordinates have always been from the Ming Mansion......"

Shen Yu collected Qingyi to be a personal servant, which is also a coincidence. When Yun Ci died, Shen Yu decided to stay in Yanlan City to protect the Yun clan and Izuxiu, so he bought a house and looked for some servants.

At the beginning, I wanted to find a clever and reliable person to be my personal servant, but I didn't have a suitable candidate. One day, he suddenly met Qingyi on the road, and saw a boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old sitting on the ground at the intersection, covered in injuries and crying loudly. As a doctor, Shen Yu had a sudden sense of compassion and took care of this idle matter.

Under careful questioning, Shen Yu learned that Qingyi was a person from Fangzhou, affected by the plague at that time, and his parents had been in poor health after being cured of illness, and then died one after another. Qingyi originally worked hard to save a few dollars, planning to bury his parents' coffins, but unexpectedly, he was robbed halfway, and he was injured, so he sat on the ground and cried in despair.

After Shen Yu learned about the situation, he gave him a sum of silver for the burial of his parents, and then Qingyi followed Shen Yu every day, claiming that he wanted to repay his kindness. Originally, Shen Yu thought he was young and didn't want to accept him, but Qingyi followed him for a few days, but he was quite eye-catching, and his hands and feet were also very sharp.

When he went down to the restaurant, Qingyi followed behind, pulling the table and moving the stool for him, and pouring the cloth and wine; When he returned to the house, Qingyi stayed at the door, and when he saw him come out, he led his horse to meet him.

After following this for half a month, he found out that Qingyi was really clever, so Shen Yu took this young man as a personal servant. Later, he escaped from Fangzhou alone with the help of Izumi and Yun Xiangrong, but the incident happened suddenly, he didn't have time to dismiss the servants, originally thinking that everyone should find their own way out, but he didn't expect Qingyi to keep guarding the house for him.

At that time, it was Izumi who first discovered Qingyi and thought that this little guy was extremely reliable, and as soon as the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion fell, Shen Yu was in despair, so Izuku sent Qingyi to Jingzhou to continue to serve him.

It is said that adversity sees the truth, Qingyi guarded the house for him, and it was recommended by Xiu, so Shen Yu didn't think much about it and left the young man by his side. Counting the time, the master-servant relationship between the two has been several years.

But when he heard Qingyi's words, it turned out that he was originally from the Ming Mansion......

"You've been with me for eight years from Yanlan City until now...... Was it a scam from the start? Shen Yu was embarrassed, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became: "You were sent by Mingzhang to calculate me?" ”

"It's not about you, and I haven't done anything to hurt you...... Except this time. Qingyi gritted his teeth, and finally told the truth: "I am the illegitimate son of Xiangye and the slave, because I can't recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, I have to be sympathetic to Xiangye, and put me next to the eldest prince to serve......"

Shen Yu reacted for a moment, only to realize that the "Xiangye" mentioned by Qingyi referred to the right Xiang Mingcheng, and the "eldest prince" referred to Ming Zhang.

He looked at Qingyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "No wonder you are so clever, you are very eye-catching at the age of fourteen, it turns out that you were trained by Mingzhang." ”

At this point, Shen Yu sighed, and then said: "Back then, I worked in the Criminal Department and was responsible for hearing the Ming case, so it is difficult for you to be able to calm down...... I personally asked for it, but your father! ”

Qingyi didn't seem to hear this, and shook his head solemnly: "Xiangye didn't let me recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, but arranging me next to the eldest prince can be regarded as having a face...... The eldest prince was a gambler and owed the Yun family a huge debt, and later he heard that the Marquis of Lixin had died of illness, so he asked me to go into the Yun Mansion to find out if there was any secret in it, which could be used as a lever to blackmail the Yun family into reducing the debt......"

Qingyi's eyes finally squeezed out two tears, and continued: "At that time, I went to Yanlan City, and the eldest prince thought of many ways, but he was strict with the servants from the Xinhou Mansion, and he thought that I was too young and not grown up, so he refused to accept anything...... Later, the eldest prince knew that you had a very close relationship with the Marquis of Lixin, and it happened that he was in Fangzhou, so he asked me to pretend that my parents were dead and defected to you, wanting to indirectly find out the news of Yunfu from you. ”

Hearing this, Shen Yu had to smile bitterly: "It turns out that Mingzhang wanted to insert eyeliner in Yunfu, but he didn't insert it, so he hit me with the idea." ”

Qingyi didn't know how to answer this sentence, so he had to continue to recall with a cranking voice: "Actually, following you, I didn't find out any news, I just know that you like Mrs. Xiu...... Later, you suddenly left Yanlan City, and the Wenchang Marquis Mansion was also raided, I originally wanted to go back to the Ming Mansion, but the eldest prince asked me to stay for the time being to see the situation. ”

"I have been in your house for two years, and the stewards, the servants, and the maids have all found their way out...... In fact, I couldn't survive it at that time, and the eldest prince almost forgot about me...... At that time, Mrs. Chuxiu suddenly came to me and asked me if I would like to go to Jingzhou to continue serving you, and I saw that I would have the opportunity to return to Jingzhou, so I agreed. ”

Qingyi almost cried bitterly, but he tried his best to restrain himself, and his shoulders twitched back and forth: "Originally, I managed to contact the eldest prince and wanted to go back to the Ming Mansion. But the eldest prince saw that I could finally come in handy, so he asked me to stay with you......"

As he spoke, Qingyi couldn't support it anymore, sat on the ground with his ass, and slammed his hands into fists and slammed the ground: "Later, the Ming family was in trouble, and Xiangye didn't let me go back, saying that I was his bloodline, and it was best to escape the catastrophe." Later, Xiangye was asked to behead, it was you who personally tried the case, and I also wanted to follow you to help the eldest son, so I made up my mind to stay......"

"So, when I was working in the Criminal Department, you leaked the news to Mingzhang?" A trace of dangerous killing intent flashed on Shen Yu's face, and he shouted and asked, "What have you helped him?" ”

Although Shen Yu's killing intent flashed, Qingyi still saw it. But at this time, he had already put life and death aside, so he replied calmly: "I have passed the news to the eldest prince three times......"

"The first time was when you wanted to send the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and after the Prime Minister learned about it, he carried out 'activities' in the court in time, so as to save the lives of the eldest son, the second prince and the young lady; The second time was when you went to the Ming Mansion to raid the house, and I told the eldest prince two days in advance, and he smuggled a batch of treasures out and left the family behind; The third time was when you left Beijing without permission and went to Yanlan City to treat Mrs. Xiu, and later went to Jiang Di to quell the chaos......"

After Qingyi said this, Shen Yu completely understood. No wonder Mingzhang was able to come up with this strategy to lure himself into the bait, and he must have learned a lot of inside information from Qingyi.

"In that case, why did you come to stop me from going to Fangzhou? If I go, isn't it just what Mingzhang wants? In fact, Shen Yu knew the answer in his heart, just by looking at the state of Qingyi when he chased him, he could guess a few points. But he still wanted to hear Qingyi say it himself.

At this moment, Qingyi was silent. His face was even more ashamed, his expression was even more evasive, and after a long time, his eyes were hot again, and he said incoherently: "I don't know...... Reasoning: You are my father-killer, I should hate you...... But you are too good to me, better than Xiangye and the eldest prince are to me, I, I can't watch you go to death......"

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Even if he had a ghost in his heart at the beginning, even if he was full of calculations, but in the past eight years of following, how Shen Yu treats people and things, Qingyi can see it clearly.

If Shen Yu hadn't seen him on the side of the road when he hadn't seen him or given him money to bury his so-called "parents", how could he get close to Shen Yu? Perhaps, there will be no later story.

He is still just an illegitimate child in the Ming Mansion who has not seen the light, or he has a daughter-in-law who leaves the mansion early; Or when the Ming clan fell, he also died......

One wrong step, one wrong step. Qingyi is not without struggle, but he is afraid that Mingzhang will reveal his inner feelings, and he is even more afraid that Shen Yu will not forgive himself. So he had to sink deeper and deeper into this quagmire, and almost made a big mistake.

had already arrived in Jingzhou, knowing that Shen Yu had been fooled, but at the last moment he still found out in his conscience that he wanted to save this enemy who killed his father, but he was also his benefactor.

"I'm sorry for Xiangye and the eldest prince, and I can't help you......" Qingyi finally raised his head and looked at Shen Yu with scarlet eyes. Dense bloodshots, red and swollen eyes, tiredness that can't be hidden, and remorse on his face.

He knelt on the ground, but Shen Yu stood upright, like the two poles of life, one was stealing life, and the other was standing up to the sky......

"You are the son of Ming Cheng, I am indeed your father-killing enemy, and you should hate me." Shen Yu sighed, as if talking to himself: "No wonder Mingzhang wanted to design this play, it turned out that he wanted to avenge the Ming family." ”

Thinking of this, Shen Yu saw the meaning clearly, frowned and asked, "In this way, you deceived me about the abduction?" ”

This time, Qingyi nodded: "It's yours, but it's not all." He paused for a moment before he was willing to tell the truth: "The eldest prince not only wants to seek revenge against you and the Holy Lord, but he also wants to seek revenge from the Yun clan...... He already knew about the fifty million taels of gold. ”
