Chapter 21: The Secret of the Serpent
"What kind of person! dare to trespass on my god machine camp!"
A scolding came from the roof, and Ye Qing looked up to see that it was a woman with a good face, dressed in dark red clothes, and holding a pitch-black longbow in her hand. It looks a little heroic, but the attitude is a lot worse. The other party is not polite to herself, and Ye Qing will naturally not save face for her.
"Your Shenji Camp is so unsightly, when a guest comes to visit, he greets him with a bow and arrow?"
As soon as Ye Qing's words fell, another voice came from not far away: "Qing'er, stand down." ”
turned his head to see that person turned out to be Chu Yun. Chu Yun walked up to Ye Qing's side and said, "Little Hou Ye, how are we doing in the house?"
Ye Qing glanced at Chu Yun, and couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Chu Yun's gourd, so he didn't think much about it, and followed Chu Yun directly to the inner room.
When they came to the inner room, the two of them sat down, and before Ye Qing could speak, Chu Yun said by himself: "I'm still wondering, why didn't the little marquis come to our Shenji camp to ask for an explanation." ”
Hearing this, Ye Qingyi frowned and asked, "You deliberately brought me here?"
"There is a reason for the incident, and I ask the little marquis to forgive me. Chu Yun said, poured Ye Qing a cup of tea and pushed it over.
"Ling Ping was slaughtered all over the city, such a big matter, His Majesty did not arrange the Shenji Battalion to investigate, but asked a commander of the Imperial Forest Army to do it, which is really incomprehensible. ”
"Didn't your Shenji Battalion only carry out His Majesty's decision, and never ask His Majesty's decision?" Ye Qing said with a cold face.
"It's just a personal curiosity, besides, since Your Majesty handed over Ling Ping's case to you, I naturally won't ask about it. Today, I went to the prison to try those two prisoners, because they were related to a case I was working on. Chu Yun looked at Ye Qing, and it seemed that half of the words were still muffled in his mouth and not spoken.
"What cases can they?" Ye Qing felt more and more that this Chu Yun was deliberately sabotage.
"Little Hou Ye is inevitably a little sensitive. Chu Yun said, "The night before yesterday, a small village about a hundred miles away from Lingping City was slaughtered, and I was investigating this case. ”
"What does Tu Cun have to do with them?"
"It doesn't have anything to do with them. Chu Yun said, "But it has something to do with Ling Ping." The people of that village died exactly the same as the people of Lingping City. The clothes are all there, and the body has turned into white bones for some unknown reason, and now the whole village is wrapped in an unknown computer connection. ”
Hearing this, Ye Qing also understood what Chu Yun meant.
It stands to reason that if Chu Yun reported all this matter truthfully, then His Majesty would definitely not let Chu Yun interfere but would directly hand it over to Ye Qing to investigate, and in this case, there would only be one reason, that is, Chu Yun concealed a lot of important things when she reported, such as the death of those people and the fact that she found Chu Qi.
"I can't imagine that you would give up your loyalty to Your Majesty for such a case. Ye Qing said.
"Loyalty?" Chu Yun smiled and said, "For me, not betraying is loyalty." ”
......
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yun and Ye Qing asked to involve themselves in the investigation of this matter, and Ye Qing naturally refused.
"You went to Lingping before, as far as I know, you should be looking for Wu Anhou's whereabouts. Chu Yun said suddenly.
"So what. Ye Qing was disdainful.
"You may not know that Wu'an Hou Ye Feng is one of the ancestors. ”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Qing was a little panicked for a while. But looking back and thinking about what Qing Gang said to him before, he asked Ye Qing which ancestor passed on to him and so on, if Ye Feng was really the so-called ancestor master, there were really traces to follow. But isn't Ye Feng already dead, or is Chu Qi lying to himself?
There is no reason, Chu Qi has no reason to lie to herself, she has no motive to do this, could it be that Chu Yun is lying?
It shouldn't be, because Chu Yun only needs to tell herself that she knows about the ancestor is enough to attract Ye Qing's attention, and there is no need to make up such a lie......
While Ye Qing was thinking, Chu Qi interrupted Ye Qing and said, "Now, do you need to reconsider my proposal just now?"
Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to believe this Chu Yun once. But Chu Yun said that she couldn't trust Ye Qing, and her information still couldn't be told to Ye Qing.
However, Ye Qing didn't think that there should be too much information in Chu Qi's hands, otherwise she would not have come to Ye Qing. Moreover, Chu Yun's words gave Ye Qing a general direction of investigation.
Coming out of the Shenji Camp, Ye Qing went back to the Hou Mansion directly, Ye Feng seemed to be far closer to this matter than he imagined, in this case, those books must contain a lot of important information, if you can crack its content as soon as possible, you will definitely know a lot of inside information.
Ye Qing returned to the Hou Mansion and thought about it, but in the end he didn't take out the books, but took the piece of paper that Zhang Lin handed over to him and took it with him, thinking about finding someone to help see if he could decipher the words on it.
After coming out, Ye Qing came to the gate of the prison again, thinking about how to make the snake speak again, the snake was reluctant to say that it was because of Chu Yun just now, and Chu Yun's sudden appearance made the snake as frightened as a frightened bird.
'How can you get the snake to speak again......
Thinking in his heart, Ye Qing unconsciously walked to the gate of the prison.
The inside of the gate was pitch black, Ye Qing thought about it and walked over.
"Lord Ye, do you want to interrogate those three people?" the jailer asked.
"No need. Ye Qing said, "I'll just go in and take a look myself." ”
After speaking, Ye Qing walked in by himself. After walking a few steps, Ye Qing came to the place where the three of them were imprisoned, but Ye Qing did not go in, but walked into the empty cell separated from them by a wall.
It was quiet in the cell, and there was no sound next door.
After a long while, the sound of Si Si Suo suddenly came from next door. Then a very small voice appeared.
"Second brother, what do you say they want to do? Lock us up here, obviously we have been tried, and it is useless to lock us up. ”
"Do you remember why we were locked in?"
“......”
After a moment of silence......
"Hey, someone, someone!" suddenly shouted from the next door.
"Do what, do what!"
Ye Qing shouted and walked out and stood in front of them.
"Why are you arresting us!" one of them shouted, and this person, Ye Qing, recognized that he was the turtle among the three.
"That's it, let us out!" chimed in. Only the serpent sat by and did not speak.
"Okay, I'll let you out. Ye Qing said, called the jailer and opened the door.
"Let's get out. Ye Qing said lightly.
The three people inside didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Ye Qing's gourd, so they didn't dare to come out of the cell for a while.
After a stalemate for a while, Ye Qing walked up to close the door again and said, "If you don't want to let you out, then stop yelling in the cell." ”
Just as the door was about to be shut, a hand grabbed the wooden door.
"Then we might as well be respectful. ”
Ye Qing saw that this person was an eagle, and the turtle was also standing behind him.
Looking at these two people, Ye Qing smiled slightly and let go of his hand: "Three of you, please." ”
z
The cell door slammed open, and the two fled frantically, the snake still sitting still.
"Aren't you leaving? Ye Qing walked to the snake's side and sat down.
"Let's go?" the snake looked up at Ye Qing.
"Do you think that's enough for me to trust you?"
Sure enough, the snake was frightened by Chu Yun's sudden appearance.
"Do you think you still have a choice now?" Ye Qing asked.
"Only I can save you now, no matter what you think in your heart, what kind of calculations you make, now only I can save you. If you want to live, you can only believe in me. ”
The snake lowered its head, his body trembled slightly, as if he was struggling to believe Ye Qing.
In fact, Ye Qing knew that the snake's heart must be more anxious than himself, because the snake had already mastered a certain amount of information, and he knew what would happen next. Moreover, the attitude of the snake last time was to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible, which easily reminded Ye Qing of Ouyang Ce's words.
On the twentieth of the next month, they will destroy the imperial capital.
Nine times out of ten, the information in Shekou's mouth has something to do with this matter, Ye Qing thinks so.
Although the snake is timid, it is very thoughtful. At this time, he can only weigh it himself.
"You think about it first, I'll come back tomorrow. ”
Ye Qing got up and wanted to leave after dropping a sentence, but just stood up and was stopped by the snake.
"I hope you'll be able to get up and running tonight to escort me!"
