Chapter 305: After the Snow
Xi Yuan's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "I'm sorry, you know...... I didn't mean that...... ...... year I didn't expect you to suffer so much. ”
Qin Da ignored him and explained calmly: "The technique I use will make you unable to move, your feelings will be clearer, and I will ensure that you will not pass out." ”
What kind of pain would it be to endure those horrific punishments in the Detective Factory in such a state?
Xi Yuan's face turned pale and said, "Do you really want to do such a desperate thing?" I admit it, I admit it...... You're going to give me a good time. ”
Qin Da didn't speak.
Xi Yuan was completely desperate, and said with a heavy breath: "I admit it, but according to the rules of asking, the things inside can't be taken outside, and you can't hold a grudge against me." ”
He was unwilling to endure those terrible pains, and he was even more unwilling to be continuously suppressed by Qin Da after leaving the illusion realm.
Qin Da smiled and said, "How could it be? So later, no matter how painful you are, don't hold a grudge against me, out there...... We're still friends. ”
Xi Yuan was already mentally prepared, thinking that with his cultivation talent, as long as he stuck to the Dao heart, even if the punishment was severe, what could he do, but at this time, looking at Qin Da's faint smile, he suddenly felt a little chilled, and said in a hoarse voice: "What do you want to do with me?" ”
Qin Da said: "Ling Chi, I'm sorry, I know that this is really nothing new. ”
Xi Yuan's face turned even paler, his body trembled slightly, and he wanted to pounce and hug his thighs and beg for mercy, but he couldn't move the slightest.
"The picture is too bloody, I won't watch it, you can enjoy it."
After Qin Da said this, he left the restaurant.
As he walked out of the restaurant, he glanced at the eaves opposite.
The bluebird flew away.
It believed that the cultivators outside the Valley of Echo did not want to see the cruel picture that followed, and they were not perverted cult masters...... At least on the surface.
The night street is silent, and the morning light is faint in the distance, but the world is even darker.
Qin Da walked towards the night in a black coat, and suddenly a scream sounded behind him.
The screams never stopped, but gradually decreased.
……
……
Xi Yuan was considered a cultivator with a good realm, but for such a vast world, his death was only a trivial matter.
Only the sect of Lushan County has been nervous for a long time because of this matter, and the sect master even thought about whether to take the initiative to enter Beijing to ask Gonggong Qin for guilt, but as time passed, the investigation factory had no more instructions, so he gradually relaxed his heart.
No one knows what it means that Qin Da left this person for decades without moving, but that night he was suddenly arrested and executed by Ling Chi.
The Queen Mother didn't know what happened in the restaurant that night, and waited nervously for Qin Da's reaction.
In her opinion, a villain like Qin Da who has a disobedient heart will inevitably take advantage of the conflict in the night palace to do something.
Unexpectedly, Qin Da didn't do anything, and didn't even pay attention to the election of a new monarch, but just handled the government as usual.
The state of Zhao soon ushered in a new emperor, who was carried by the empress dowager and sat on a chair behind a beaded curtain.
From that day on, Qin Da never attended the court meeting again.
Only the closest subordinates could find that Gonggong Qin was a little abnormal.
Recently, he often looked at a certain point in the gray sky, and his mind wandered for a long time.
Occasionally, he would go to a remote cold palace, walking back and forth in those narrow passages.
Sometimes he would walk into a small courtyard that had long been uninhabited, take out a bamboo chair and lie down, gently waving a round fan in his hand.
It's early autumn now.
From autumn to winter to spring, time flowed slowly and uninterestingly, and Qin Da was tired of it, but suddenly found some kind of familiar feeling.
There are many things that he is gradually forgetting, and there are many things that are coming out of the sea again.
He felt as if he had a similar day somewhere, as if he was in a temple somewhere, and then he suddenly craved a plate of stir-fried beetroot moss.
The small chestnut tree on the slope of the Imperial Garden had long since grown, and the scar left by the broken branch had become hard and clearer.
He often stood under the chestnut tree, subconsciously touching the scar with his right hand, looking into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
One day he suddenly remembered the sea, the ship on the sea, and there was a former friend on board, and an old man with silver hair.
The silver-haired old man seemed to say something before he died suddenly, but the sound of the waves was too loud for him to hear clearly.
What exactly is that?
Qin Da thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered it one day.
The boat is gone.
……
……
Gonggong Qin suddenly disappeared.
The detective factory was emptied again, and the gold-rimmed toilet was gone.
Many of the officers and agents of the Detective Factory, as well as the commanders and sergeants of the cavalry, also disappeared at the same time.
No one knew where they went, there were no clues, and there was no trace of those people in the states and counties.
This incident shocked the entire Zhao Kingdom, and then shocked the whole world.
At the urgently convened court meeting, no one in the Manchu Dynasty could speak, and this matter was too bizarre and unreasonable.
Some officials even wondered, could it be that the investigation factory caused too much anger and resentment, and as a result, it was punished by God?
"What the hell is going on! So many people disappeared at the same time, and you couldn't find anything at all! ”
The Queen Mother angrily lifted the bead curtain, stood in front of those officials, and scolded: "Could it be that the mourning family is counting on you wastes to rule the country!" ”
Qin Da disappeared, logically speaking, she should feel relaxed and give birth to infinite joy, but for some reason, she was full of anger.
Especially in the middle of the night, when she thought of Qin Da's departure, she felt extremely lonely.
After a few days, I finally found some clues, when the court scholar entered the palace overnight, knelt in front of the Yuan Palace couch, and reported the results to the Queen Mother in a low voice.
The entire Zhao State knew that there was an extremely fierce water bandit entrenched in the depths of the vast Ping Lake, and even if the sailors of the imperial court had cleared it many times, they could not hurt the other party in the slightest, but sent many ships over.
Not long after Qin Da disappeared with the people of the Detective Factory, the water bandits suddenly came out of Pinghu, and more than 100 big ships sailed into Qi through the waterway, and then went straight into the East China Sea and disappeared without a trace.
Now that I think about it, Qin Da and his subordinates should have been on that fleet at that time.
This matter sounds simple, but in fact, Qin Da not only concealed it from the government and the opposition for many years, but more importantly, he also made perfect use of the waterway system that Zhao and Qi had repaired for many years.
What's more, those big ships obviously used the technology of the Qi country.
To accomplish this, Qin Da didn't know how many years he had spent planning and how much energy he had put into it.
The Queen Mother's face turned pale instantly, and she turned to look at the sleeping child on the couch, and was silent for a long time.
Have you always wanted to leave? Or is this just the back road you prepared, and you were too disappointed in the mourning family that night.
……
……
The great eunuch who had been in power for decades was gone.
For the people of Zhao, it was like the imperial palace in the capital suddenly disappeared.
Everyone felt a strong panic, and there was a dead silence in the government and the opposition.
The rumors gradually spread, and after confirming that Gonggong Qin had indeed left, instead of standing in the shadows watching the world as in previous years, and coming back at any time to call for wind and rain, the whole country fell into a dazed and empty mental state.
Countless petitions and petitions were sent to the palace like snowflakes, asking the imperial court to send a large army to find the Duke of Qin as soon as possible.
As time passed, the number of recitals and petitions became less and less until there were none.
It wasn't until the middle of summer that everyone found out that Gonggong Qin might indeed not come back, and the situation changed again.
Countless pieces of music and folk petitions were once again sent to the palace like snowflakes, but this time the content was completely different.
From officials to ordinary people, everyone was accusing Gonggong Qin of being shameless, ruthless and murderous, and the reason why he left was because he colluded with Qin and knew that the crime of treason was unforgivable, so he fled in fear of crime.
The officials in the court have all sent money to Gonggong Qin and curry favor with him, so who is Gonggong Qin's lackey? In order to distinguish who was the real lackey, and who was Wang's voice louder back then, the princes of the court began to attack each other fiercely, and for a while it was chaotic and ugly, and it was not until the early winter that the situation finally stabilized.
In the process of stabilizing the situation, Empress Dowager Zhao showed excellent political wisdom and means.
Then, there is the discussion of guilt.
The imperial court convicted Qin Da of seventy-four major crimes, in addition to the most common crimes, there were also some strange crimes, but I am afraid that even the original investigation factory could not think of it.
The Queen Mother looked at those crimes, her face became more and more ugly, and finally she couldn't control her emotions anymore, slapped the book case heavily, and broke the red pen in her hand.
Spotted red spots fall on the wall, looking like red plums.
"What a mess!"
In the end, the Queen Mother only approved a few charges.
The main thing is that it is rude, insincere, and so on.
But no matter how many articles she approves, Qin Da is destined to go down in history, of course, it is notorious.
Thinking of this, she felt a little apologetic.
She came to the Imperial Garden, waved the maid with the umbrella away, and walked under the chestnut tree.
This is where they once stood.
Snow fell on her.
She looked into the distance, her eyes reddening.
