Cong Xiao smiled: "You want to say that I obviously received a sword on the shoulder, why didn't I get hurt, right?" But how do you know, when I was injured and returned to Qufu, I was wearing a cloak on my body, and no one else could see the blood on my body. The wound dressing was changed by Sister Lan alone, and I didn't mention my injury to anyone else. I asked the maid who helped me wash my dress, and she didn't tell anyone about the blood stains on my dress. Hua Yue has been living with me in Youyun Yuan for the past few days, and even she doesn't know that I am injured, how do you know that I have an injury on my body, and clearly know that my injury is on my shoulder? ”

Hua Lu and Hua Song's faces were pale, and they gritted their teeth and didn't speak.

Congxi continued: "I only thought of one possibility, that is, to send those six men in black to assassinate me, and I or send someone else to watch the assassination, so that I know my life and death. ”

When Hua Lu and Hua Song heard it, they all gritted their teeth and regretted it, and they were frozen for a moment, Hua Lu suddenly knelt down to Qu Zaichen, and when Hua Song saw it, he also knelt down.

Hua Lu looked up at Qu Zaichen and pleaded: "Second son, we were wrong, we shouldn't do anything to the second young lady privately." However, I am also a parent, I can't bear Huayue to stay in the Qu family without a name or a place, and I don't want my little son to be treated as an illegitimate child and be ridiculed by others. After all, we are the grandfather and uncle of the little boy, please look at the face of the little boy, be benevolent, spare us once, save our lives, right? Please, in the future, the Hua family will be the head of your horse, but the second son has orders, the Hua family will be broken to pieces? ”

Hua Lu kept kowtowing to Qu Zaichen as he spoke, and everyone also stared at Qu Zaichen, seeing how Qu Zaichen reacted, Qu Zaichen stood without moving, his face did not change, only stared at Hua Lu and Hua Song without speaking.

Cong Ning frowned and said: "Master Hua, Master Hua, you knelt down to the wrong person, right?" Although this girl has a great life, she is lucky not to die in your hands. But you poisoned six lives, and according to the laws of the court, you should resist your fate. Qu Zaichen is a businessman, how can he have the ability to violate the law and protect your lives? It is better for you to beg the Inspector, or that you may suffer less before you are beheaded. ”

Hua Lu hurriedly looked at Inspector Zheng and said: "Lord Inspector, those six people are the gangsters and robbers I met by chance when I was doing business in Biansai, they killed many people, and they were wanted by the Biansai government before they fled to Jinzhou. If the government catches them, they will kill them, I. We poisoned them to eliminate harm for the people and share the worries of the government, please spare us once, right? ”

Inspector Zheng frowned: "Since you are fugitives wanted by the government, you don't tell the government about their whereabouts, but use them to assassinate and injure people, and then poison people privately, who gives you the right to take people's lives without permission?" ”

Hua Lu was speechless in fear, turned his head to look at Qu Zaichen again, and was about to speak, Qu Zaichen said: "No matter who hurts my wife, I will make him pay the price he deserves." Rejoice, kill for your life, and die easily. Otherwise, life is worse than death. ”

Hua Lu and Hua Song looked at Qu Zaichen's cold eyes, and their faces were shivering.

Hua Lu hesitated and said, "But. Qu Xiaogongzi after all..."

Qu Zaichen said lightly: "He doesn't have that much face. ”

Hua Lu and Hua Song stared at Qu Zaichen with wide eyes, and then turned their heads to look at Congxi, only to realize that they should have guessed wrong, Qu Zaichen did not like to be obedient, but cared about Congxi.

Inspector Zheng saw that the three cases had been explained clearly, and was about to call for someone to bring Yan Jin, Xu Yan, Wentian, Hua Lu, and Hua Song back to the palace, when he suddenly saw a large group of people walking towards them with torches, and he couldn't help but be surprised and puzzled. With the light of the torch, I looked carefully for a while, and found that those people were Mrs. Qu, Mrs. Qu, Master Qu, Qu Zaifan, Yang Sishan, Yang Sizhen, and the lord of Xin'an County, Feng Nianqing, all of whom were members of the Qu family. Inspector Zheng had seen them twice, and there was a man and a woman beside Mrs. Qu, aged about thirty, the man was handsome, the woman had a delicate face, with two points of heroism, and the woman was holding a baby in her arms.

When Mrs. Qu and the others approached, everyone saw Inspector Zheng and hurriedly bowed down.

Qu Zaichen looked at Mrs. Qu, and the heroic man and heroic woman beside Mrs. Qu, raised his hand and saluted: "I have seen grandmother, General Ning Yuan, and Mrs. Ning." ”

Inspector Zheng, Jian Xuan, Congxi, Xu Yan and others were all surprised when they heard it, and looked at Ning Yuan and Mrs. Ning, Inspector Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he also hugged his fists and saluted, and Ning Yuan and Mrs. Ning immediately bowed in return.

Qu Zaichen immediately looked at Mrs. Qu and said, "Grandmother, it's dark and the night is cold, the mountain road is difficult, why is my grandmother here, is my grandmother okay?" ”

Mrs. Qu said: "It's okay, my body is a little rotten, but it's not so unbearable." Old Madam Qu paused for a moment and said: "General Ning Yuan and Mrs. Ning visited Qu Mansion late at night, saying that the Ning family did not commit treason, and General Ning Yuan was wronged before, and the emperor has acquitted the Ning family. ”

Qu Zaichen nodded: "I already know." ”

Old Madam Qu said again: "Mrs. Ning also said that the child you raised in Youyunyuan is her and General Ning Yuan's biological son. Mrs. Ning wanted to take the child away, but your mother had to stop her, saying that the child was your son. You didn't tell me the inside story of this matter, and I couldn't explain it clearly, and Yun Xianshen didn't know where to run in the middle of the night. It's not a way for them to stiffen, so I took them to Xishan to look for you, this kid is really Ning Xiaogongzi? ”

Before Qu Zaichen could answer, Mrs. Qu hurriedly spoke: "Zaichen, what the hell is going on, isn't this child the son of you and Hua Yue?" How did you become Ning Xiaogongzi, did General Ning Yuan and Mrs. Ning misunderstand something? Wasn't Ning Xiaogongzi lost by Governor Xu before? Governor Xu has never found Ning Xiaogongzi, how can Ning Xiaogongzi be in our mansion? ”

Qu Zaichen said lightly: "Mother, this child is indeed Ning Xiaogongzi." I had already received the news that after General Ning Yuan and Mrs. Ning were released by the imperial court, they hurried to Jinzhou to find Ning Xiaogongzi. Therefore, I sent people to wait for them in the mansion, and it was I who asked General Ning Yuan to tell General Ning Yuan that Ning Xiaogongzi was in Qufu. General Ning Yuan and Mrs. Ning went to find the Qu family. I had let my mother misunderstand that Ning Xiaogongzi was from me, but I was helpless, and I apologized to my mother in the dust. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all confused, especially Xu Yan, who looked at the child in Mrs. Ning's arms, and was even more confused.

Mrs. Qu was surprised: "This. . What the hell is going on, isn't this child the child of you and Huayue, at the birthday banquet, you and the child also had a blood test, we saw it really, you and the child's blood stains melted together, isn't he your biological son? How did you become Ning Xiaogongzi? ”

Qu Zaichen looked at Congxi and said, "These are Madame's clever plans, let's talk about Madame." ”

Glancing at Ning Yuan and Mrs. Ning, he was a little puzzled, is this great crime of treason and rebellion so child's play? How can you say that if you are full of people, you will be full of people, and if you release people, you will release people, what is the mystery in this? However, this General Ning Yuan and Mrs. Ning really don't look like bad people, are they really wronged? Forget it, the major events of the imperial court are not something I can guess through, what did Qu Zaichen, this bastard, say just now, he knew that General Ning Yuan was wronged?

Congxi couldn't help but look at Qu Zaichen and said: "You already knew that General Ning Yuan was innocent, so if you didn't say it earlier, we will directly explain the details to Governor Xu, and let him keep Ning Xiaogongzi's life temporarily." Or let Governor Xu send Ning Xiaogongzi to the capital, Ning Yuan's general Zhaoxue cleared his name, acquitted him, and Ning Xiaogongzi was safe. Why do we need to bother with the life of the little boy Baoning, and so many murders are involved? ”

Qu Zaichen: "There is some distance between the capital and Jinzhou, and there is always a delay in the exchange of information. When I robbed Ning Xiaogongzi from the Xu Mansion, I didn't know about General Ning Yuan. I only received news from the capital yesterday that General Ning Yuan had been acquitted by the imperial court, and that General Ning Yuan and Mrs. Ning were already on their way to Jinzhou, so I sent someone to wait for them in front of the government office. ”

Glancing at General Ning Yuan and Mrs. Ning, he approached Qu Zaichen and said, "Then I can tell the truth now?" ”

Although Congxi lowered his voice, but in the dead of night, everyone was silently watching Congxi, Qu Zaichen, Congxi's words were still heard by everyone, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and they all shook their heads and laughed. Inspector Zheng looked at Congxi, and also felt that this second young lady Qu was very delicate and interesting, no wonder Qu Zaichen didn't even look down on the county lord, but married her.

Qu Zaichen only nodded calmly: "Say it." ”
