Chapter 21: The True Form Is Revealed

Tao Xuanju immediately escorted Qingke back to the dungeon, locked him with iron chains, and called the imperial doctor to briefly confirm her wounds to ensure that she would not bleed too much and die. While sending people to report to the governor, he was preparing to torture the Qingke......

He splashed water on Qingke and sat in front of Qingke, looking at her frowning brow from pain, and felt extremely happy.

He said, "Are you awake?" Let's be honest, I pity you very much, and I don't want you to suffer this flesh and skin until the last resort. If you speak out, the governor will not only not hurt your life, but will reuse it. You know, the lord of the state has given you glory and wealth, but what about you? ungrateful, wolf-like, not knowing how to be grateful, just-for-tat. I really don't understand, what's wrong with fine clothes and food under the state lord? I have to be the wild mountain woman of that village. ”

Qingke raised his head, looked at him contemptuously, used all his strength, and replied, "You want to be a dog, but we want to be human." ”

Tao Xuanju was furious when he heard this, got up and stepped forward, and waved a punch at Qingke's face, which made Qingke's eyes appear with gold stars, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and his face was swollen.

At this time, Wang Miao paced into the dungeon, and when he saw Tao Xuanju beating the Qingke, he stepped forward and kicked Tao Xuanju is face, scolding: "Who told you to beat her?" Quickly put her down and sit down. ”

Although Tao Xuanju was dissatisfied, he still had to do so, so he untied the chains on Qingke's body and helped her to sit on the stool in front of him.

Wang Miao motioned for Tao Xuanju to step back, looked at the weak Qingke in front of him, leaned over and raised her chin with her hand, took a closer look, and then nodded, "That's right, although I have never seen most of the women in your clan, you have one thing in common, that is, those amorous eyes like peach blossoms."

Qingke didn't want to deal with him, so he didn't say anything.

Wang Miao stood up and asked, "I know that you have the same strong temperament as the princess, otherwise you wouldn't have disappeared for eighteen years, but at this time, you have returned to Jinyun City." I'm afraid they came to me on purpose, trying to put an end to the old and new hatreds. But I also have a few words of advice to you, if I hadn't kept my mouth shut all these years, you would have become the prey of the whole world. In the past, you lived in Jinyun City, not to mention the others, at least you were safe, but once this secret is known to the world, how many outlaws will rush to encircle and suppress you? If you insist on refusing to cooperate, then I will stay out of the way, and just spread your secrets, and then there will be people everywhere, and it is unknown whether they will treat you as well as I do. ”

After saying that, Wang Miao glanced at Qingke, saw that there was a move in her eyes, and continued: "Think about it, come to me when you figure it out." ”

Then he turned around and left, and instructed Tao Xuanju, who was standing outside: "By the way, you pay more attention to whether there are women looking for people in the city these days, if there is, take it directly without saying anything, and bring it back for me to interrogate." ”

The door of the dungeon was closed, and Qingke sat alone in the pitch black, thinking about what Wang Miao had just said, and his heart was in a mess.

As he said, if he really told the world about this, the consequences would indeed be unimaginable. But once he declares it, what will he use as a bargaining chip to defend Shuzhou? Is he willing to give Shuzhou to others? But if everything returns to square one, the princess's efforts will come to naught, and those innocent ancestors will die without turning a blind eye. Will they want us to follow in our footsteps?

For a long time, Qingke was speechless and choked, thinking that it was better to die, but it was a cowardly act to escape, and she couldn't do this, but this was really difficult, but she was at a loss.

Qingke went to rescue the beggar, but he didn't return overnight, and there was no news at all, Yuming was impatient, and shouted in her heart: "If only I could stop her!" I expected that the beggar had suddenly appeared in the city, but had never contacted us, and that there must be something unspeakable. But she couldn't bear to see him unclothed and sleeping in the open, and insisted on escorting him out of the city...... If the Qingke has a good one, what can I do! ”

Chao Yan saw that Yuming was distracted early in the morning, and asked with concern: "Auntie, is something wrong?" As for Aunt Qingke, I haven't seen her since late yesterday. ”

Yu Ming wanted to speak and stopped, determined to wait and see, calmed down, and replied: "She went out to run errands, but she hasn't come back yet, I'm a little worried." ”

Chao Yan stared at Yu Ming, seeing that she was so unsettled, thinking that it might not be so simple, so he comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, Xi Yan and I went out to look around, what is the delay." You can wait for her here in peace, and we will come back as soon as we find Aunt Qingke. ”

Here Wen Yeting and Wei Yun were going out to visit the market, and before they took two steps, Wen Yeting felt that something was wrong, as if someone was following him, so he pulled Wei Yun and deliberately ran into an alley, and flew to the roof on one side, only to see that the person also ran to the mouth of the alley in a hurry and looked around.

Wen Yeting must have been followed by someone, but he had sneaked out of Yudu at the beginning, and he had not revealed his identity before, so he should not have come for him.

"Brother Wei, what have you been doing lately?" Wen Yeting fell from the roof and asked Wei Yun, who was standing stupidly.

Wei Yunzheng looked at him dumbfounded, and exclaimed: "Brother Wen, you are really an eye-opener for me, I didn't have time to ask you why you ran so fast, but I saw you fly up with a bang." It's really worthy of its name! Where did you learn this? Another day, you take me back to Yudu, and I can go and ask for a few tricks...... Oh, what did you just ask me? ”

Wen Yeting shook his head helplessly and repeated: "Ask if you have done anything bad recently." ”

Wei Yun was taken aback and denied: "Eh, you are slandering me, I can sit upright, how can I do bad things?" ”

"Then why is someone following you?" Wen Yeting said as he walked deeper into the alley.

"Stalking me? Who? I've been gagging all day long, what is there to keep track of? Wei Yun was puzzled.

"That's the key. If you come to Jinyun City except for Qindu, only the state lord Wang Miao knows, and Qin doesn't need to send someone to secretly spy on his crown prince, and only Wang Miao will be like this if you think about it. I'm afraid that Wang Miao is worried that you have other purposes for coming to Jinyun City, or that he simply wants to control your every move in Jinyun City. Wen Yeting guessed.

Wei Yun scratched his head and wondered, "But why did he do this?" Now that the matter of the broken intestine grass is over, I don't need to pursue anything else, why did he follow me? Could it be ......" Wei Yun paused.

Wen Yeting saw his thoughtful appearance, so he didn't speak.

Wei Yun tilted his head, frowned, and said, "Could it be that he was worried that I didn't trust what he said, trying to monitor whether I continued to investigate secretly, or maybe he was hiding something from me and was weak-minded, so that people followed me so as not to catch him off guard." ”

Wen Yeting was hesitating to tell the truth, Wei Yun muttered to himself: "Now that I think about it, this matter is indeed a bit strange, when the chief secretary explained, he begged me to forgive his family, as if to remind me that his family is in prison at the moment. But I didn't know that the main director was the mastermind, so I wouldn't have taken precautions to arrest his family, not to mention that I hadn't thought about how to deal with him at that time, after all, he was an official in Shuzhou, and he should act in accordance with the laws of Shuzhou, I just need Shuzhou to give a satisfactory explanation. It shows that his family must have been imprisoned by the state lord, but why would he ask an outsider in the Qin capital for help? In fact, if he hadn't mentioned his family, I wouldn't have thought of saying that he needed to be sentenced to death, but he seemed to be sure that his family was in danger, and I became a lifesaver in his eyes, and I had to intercede for my family no matter who I was. ”

Wei Yun paused, and Wen Yeting saw that he was already suspicious, so he made up his mind to speak: "Brother Wei, I don't know much about the relationship between Qindu and Shuzhou, but I have a few words to say after thinking about it. To tell you the truth, after you left, I was afraid that things would change, so I kept squatting in the main director's mansion. Later, I learned that Wang Miao threatened him with the lives of the chief si's family and forced him to be the scapegoat, but in fact, it was Wang Miao himself who was behind the broken intestines. ”

After observing Wei Yun's reaction, he was really dumbfounded and felt incredible.

So Wen Yeting continued: "There is one more thing I want to ask Brother Wei to understand, why I didn't tell you the truth before, it's because ......"

He swallowed, his Adam's apple rolled up and down uneasily, and said solemnly: "It's because this matter is probably related to Yudu, and I have learned that the caravan selling poisons is from Yudu." But there is no definite evidence to show the extent to which Yudu is involved in this matter, so I dare not easily suspect it, after all, it involves the two countries fighting, and you and I belong to the opposing camp, which makes me really embarrassed. But today, it seems that Wang Miao has become vigilant, I am worried that he will be unfavorable to you, if you are deceived and calculated by him, then I will not escape the blame. Don't worry, if it is finally found out that Yu Du is wrong, I will personally go back to the capital to report to my father, and then come back to Qin Du to ask for guilt. If Qin needs a detoxification plan, I will do my best and go all out. After speaking, Wen Yeting hugged his fists and apologized.

Wei Yun was incredulous by what he said, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Qindu has always valued peace, and Shuzhou is even more friendly, through these years of trade and Yudu has been peaceful, he thought that this peaceful and prosperous era can endure.

Unexpectedly, the waves in the darkness were already ready to move, and they were turning over the river and the sea, waiting to devour the Qin Capital in the light.

After a while, Wei Yun said: "Brother Wen doesn't have to blame himself, if I am you, I may not be able to tell me honestly, I am grateful to tell me that it is you." Now is the time for us to work together to investigate Wang Miao and find out how he got in the way. As long as everything has not reached the point where it is difficult to return, then both Qin and Yu still have room for maneuver. But if, in the end, you and I meet each other on the battlefield, I also pray that it is you who stand opposite me. ”

Wen Yeting nodded, "That's exactly what I mean, no matter what, Wang Miao can't stay any longer, but he has a close relationship with the two of them, and he has a lot to do with it, so we have to work steadily and think long-term." Lately, you've been playing around as always, so as not to startle the snakes, and I'll find a way to find out the news. If I need your cooperation, I will consult with you. Recently, you have urged Wang Miao to give a detoxification strategy, and when necessary, you can be more domineering, and under persecution, he may be hungry and show his flaws. ”

Wei Yun bowed her head and signaled, and the two walked from the alley to the street, but saw Chaoyan walking in front of her in a hurry, Wei Yun stepped forward and called out to her, and asked, "Miss Chaoyan, why are you so anxious?" ”

Chao Yan hesitated, crying and complaining: "Two sons, don't hide it from you, my aunt is afraid that something will happen." Aunt Qingke didn't return overnight, so I went out to search around, and just saw traces of a fight in an alley, and there were blood stains that had just been cleaned up at the scene, I suddenly felt bad, and was about to rush back to tell Aunt Yuming. ”

After hearing this, the two spoke: "Let's go, let's go together." ”
