Jiang Ning suddenly felt a little stuffiness in her chest, she stood up, walked to the side and pushed open the window of the room.

In the early morning, the dewy and damp wind poured into the house unscrupulously. Jiang Ning couldn't help but shrink back.

The bitterness on Mu Jingzhao's face was slightly soothed, he looked at Pei Yu, and the expression on his face suddenly became fierce, "So, because of this, you have a grudge in your heart, and continue to do evil to take revenge on the person who betrayed you at the beginning, and lead me to appear, in order to achieve the goal of killing the king?" ”

"No, the grass people don't mean that! The grass people don't dare! Pei Yu kowtowed, his face was terrified, and his tone trembled a little.

The wounds on his neck broke open because of the action of kowtowing, and the gauze around his neck was red with blood, and it snaked down his neck and fell into his clothes, without a trace.

He was already weak, thin, and the clothes of the forbidden army on his body did not fit well, which looked quite funny, and his stammering voice because he was too nervous made the whole picture very comedic.

The black clouds overwhelmed the city, and the last piece of blue on the horizon was swallowed up by the lead-gray clouds, and the strong wind poured into the house with rain, slapping her face unscrupulously, Jiang Ning's cheeks ached, and she closed her eyes a little tiredly.

Mu Jingzhao raised his head slightly, and his expression was slightly soothed.

"So you mean, your purpose is not me?"

"Even if you give the grass people 1,100 guts, the grass people will never dare!"

"So." Mu Jingzhao's voice turned to a somewhat strange tone, "Your target is Lord Shen?" ”

Pei Yu's expression froze for a moment, but he never denied it.

After a long time, he spoke in an inaudible voice, "Yes." ”

"But we never kill innocent people!"

"Qingshui County has been appointed as a county commander for three terms, and all of them have been killed, is this not innocent?"

"County, county order."

Pei Yu's voice gradually deepened, and he looked at Mu Jingzhao, with a pair of warm apricot eyes without the slightest impurity of confusion and incomprehension.

"The grass people don't know about the county order."

Mu Jingzhao raised his eyes, his expression stunned.

He originally knew in his heart that this Qingshui County matter was a trap and a trap, but he never expected that someone would sacrifice his reputation to create chaos and kill people with a knife.

If there is no variable of Jiang Ning, firstly, Pei Yu's group of people can be removed from the crime of killing the king, and secondly, they can use Mu Jingzhao's hand to kill people, and they will wash away all the grievances over the years, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

If it weren't for Jiang Ning's existence, Mu Jingzhao would naturally not believe the one-sided words of these outlaws, and Pei Yu couldn't believe Mu Jingzhao because of the prejudice in his heart.

But Shen Tong arranged everything, but he didn't want to be ruined by the chess game he laid out not long ago.

Is this a shot in the foot?

Mu Jingzhao suddenly felt a little funny.

"How can I trust you?"

"The grass people are deeply sinful, and they don't ask the emperor for forgiveness, but please forgive the emperor Le Yin, she has been away from her hometown for a long time, and she has nothing to do with this matter."

Mu Jingzhao tilted his head slightly, glancing at the stiff back of Jiang Ning on the side.

"What is your relationship with Concubine Ning?"

Mu Jingzhao's suddenly gentle voice seemed to make Pei Yu a little at a loss, he was slightly stunned, and then continued to speak, "Childhood playmate." ”

"Oh." His eyes darkened, and he muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "Childhood sweetheart." ”

"That's it." Mu Jingzhao rubbed his temples, "What happened after the disaster that destroyed the door back then." ”

Pei Yu's eyes were sneering, obviously a little unable to keep up with Mu Jingzhao's rapid change of topic, "Those of us who were chased and killed first, barely survived between fleeing and evading, but this place has long been free of place for us people. ”

"Those of us who have been pampered since childhood, Wen Taowu is not proficient in anything, once the family declines, the good ones can only barely find a job in the account room to live. However, this Qingshui County has already changed the world, and none of us dare to take it in. Eventually, we'll just get together and ......."

Pei Yu's eyes dodged, and his face flushed, "Do some robbery." ”

"But!" His tone suddenly became eager, "But we have never robbed some merchants and eunuchs, and we have never oppressed the people. ”

"Since there has been nothing wrong with each other for many years, why did you suddenly start wanton revenge."

Xu is memories made him a little tired, Pei Yu turned sideways slightly, and his expression was a little distracted.

"Our robbery outside the city eventually caught the attention of the magistrates, and the county order began to recruit people to suppress the bandits, and the two sides fought intermittently for months, with both dead and wounded, but they were relatively peaceful. Until one day, the county commander was killed, and the method was exactly the same as the tragedy we encountered back then. ”

The blood on Pei Yu's neck gradually dried up, and a crimson blood mark lay across his neck, looking a little hideous and terrifying.

"Naturally, we were listed as the first suspect, and everyone said that this was the revenge of our group of outlaws, and we took the tragedy of our own family onto others to calm our anger, and from then on, we were like rats crossing the street, everyone shouted and beaten."

Then things went naturally, and after being wronged, there was a monstrous hatred that could destroy everything. Even if you don't do it, you will be charged with killing a courtier.

Rather than this, it is better to fight against the water and avenge your family.

Mu Jingzhao pondered for a moment, "I never knew why there were robbers in Qingshui County. ”

His voice was very soft, in fact, it is not uncommon for some homeless people to occupy the mountains and become kings in various places, and Qingshui County is no exception, this kind of thing does not need to be deliberately concealed, and ordinary people will not care too much.

The robbers and the local officials were often at peace with each other and did not invade each other.

How could people expect that the bandits in Qingshui County would actually be the descendants of the salt dealers who survived.

The bandits did everything possible to make trouble here, the purpose was to force Shen Tong, who was far away in Kyoto, to appear, but Shen Tong not only avoided it, but bought the land of Jiangning's old mansion and rebuilt a mansion.

It wasn't until the contradiction was stimulated that the court had to intervene in the matter, and Shen Tong first lived in the Jiang family's old mansion and then took the initiative to appear to collect the corpse of the disaster-stricken family.

He attracted the attention of the bandits, and successfully made the other party's target lock on the Jiang family's old mansion, and he pretended to stay overnight and then secretly left, thus making this tragic scene of the bandits' murder of the king.

Over the years, Shen Tong's methods of acting have really not grown and changed at all.

Mu Jingzhao's brows became tighter and tighter, he lowered his head and stopped talking. (End of chapter)
