Chapter 55: The Remnants of the Patriotic Nation
Everyone watched Niu Kui being escorted down, and they all looked back at the young man, thinking that those criminal laws were really used, and I am afraid that even individuals could not bear it.
Tian Qi sniffed the stench left by the air, and frowned a little: "Retreat." ”
Immediately, Tian Qi took the lead in leaving, and the rest of the people left Sikou Yamen one after another, and the old ghost also confessed to Tian Qi and left alone.
Si Ko's Mansion, a pavilion in the backyard.
When the crowd returned to the backyard, six people gathered around the stone table, but none of them spoke first.
The ten-day deadline for the promise has now passed three days, but the clues are broken again, and there is a vast sea of people, how to find it.
"Stop. Huang Shiqi suddenly spoke, a little entangled in her heart, and looked like she wanted to say something.
And her sister Huang Shiyun on the side, looking at her sister's tangled appearance, subconsciously grabbed her sister Huang Shiqi's hand.
"What's wrong?" Tian Qi looked at Huang Shiqi who wanted to say, but didn't say it: "Shiqi, there are no outsiders here, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Huang Shiqi was grabbed by her sister's hand and walked out of that tangled heart: "I want to say, yes... I'm sorry we caused you trouble. ”
"Shiki. Tian Qi looked at Huang Shiqi with a solemn expression, and then looked at Huang Shiyun on the side: "Shiyun, in fact, it is me who wants to say that I am sorry, but at this point, I haven't even found out who is the mastermind behind it, I am sorry for you." ”
"Don't say that. Huang Shiyun let go of her sister's hand, looked at Tian Qi and blamed herself a little: "It's not your fault, after all, no matter what, you still helped your sister catch a murderer, didn't you?"
"Sister Shiqi and Sister Shiyun, as well as Childe, in fact, don't be so entangled, since we can find out one person, then we can find out the person with the voice, so as long as we work hard, we think that we must find out the others. Jin Nian said firmly.
"Yes, I agree with Sister Jinnian's words, Shiqi and Shiyun, don't be entangled and blame yourself, this is just to blame our enemies for being too difficult to deal with, but it is also a reason for us to be discouraged. Miao Yuxue persuaded Sister Huang Shiqi.
"Thank you. Huang Shiqi showed a knowing smile on the surface, but her heart was even more entangled, but she didn't dare to express it.
Huang Shiyun also nodded, looking at Tian Qi's face, she really wanted to say it desperately, but she was worried about her father in her heart.
As a result, Huang Shiyun didn't dare to speak, let alone disobey the black-robed woman's orders.
When everyone was discussing the next details, the guards sent Di Yong and Zhang Ken the things they went to get in, and after putting them on the stone table of everyone, they slowly retreated.
Tian Qi picked up the mask and looked at the black robe, but found that the material was average, so he casually handed it to Gao on the side and said, "Little Brother Gao, do you think this can find any useful clues?"
Gao Yanli took it and looked at it, and pushed it directly in front of Sister Huang Shiqi: "I think the two Huang girls can take a look, do you think the black-robed person who appeared that night was wearing a mask?"
Huang Shiqi recalls that when her father pushed the sisters into the secret passage, she thought about the masked man who broke in: "I'm sure one of them is this mask. ”
Tian Qi suddenly looked at Huang Shiqi: "So, the masks of those five people in black are actually different?"
Huang Shiyun took the mask in her sister's hand, and then pointed to the lines on the mask and said, "Zhige, it's not that the mask is different, but the lines on the mask are different." ”
"Lines?" The mask turned to Tian Qi's hand again, and looked at it carefully: "Aren't there any other special circumstances?"
"Can you show me?" Miao Yuxue said on the side.
Tian Qi handed the mask to Miao Yuxue.
But Miao Yuxue looked at it carefully, everyone looked at Miao Yuxue's serious and dignified appearance, and looked at Miao Yuxue quietly, without disturbing Miao Yuxue's contemplation.
"I see. Miao Yuxue suddenly raised her head and said, but looking at the eyes of everyone, Miao Yuxue said generously: "This is a totem, a totem of the guards who once guarded the royal family, but this totem is not complete, and it should be simplified." ”
"Defend the country, totem?" everyone wondered.
"Sister Xue'er, wasn't the Wei Kingdom exterminated by our Qi State very early, how could there still be clansmen from the Wei royal family?" Jin Nian was a little puzzled.
"When the country is broken, people don't necessarily die. Tian Qi said lightly.
Miao Yuxue nodded: "Maybe that's why the Weiguo Totem has become a simplified version, it should be different from the Weiguo Guard, and it means that the Weiguo has died and is not worthy of having a complete totem!"
"What should we do now?" Huang Shiyun asked a little dumbfounded, after all, their father told them that they used to be patriots.
Huang Shiqi was thinking more, her father had quietly told her alone that they were the nobles at the top of the country, but he didn't say anything.
But she knew that the nobles at the top were nothing more than royal relatives.
And Tian Qi looked at Huang Shiyun's greetings and decided: "Let's go, let's interrogate Niu Kui again, if the other party is really a patriot, then the others are definitely patriots, then we have the direction of investigation." ”
Everyone said that they would take action immediately, and the five of them went directly to Linzi Prison.
"Subordinate, see Your Excellency. The prison head watched Tian Qi bring people over, and immediately led the jailer to salute.
"Fang Gang and the others just now sent over where the prisoner is, now take me over. Tian Qi said with a majestic expression on his face.
"My lord, please come with the old man. The head of the prison immediately led the way in front, and when everyone came to the outside of the cell, the head of the prison said respectfully: "Lord Hui, the other party is inside, and Captain Fang Gang confessed that we should prepare a separate cell for the other party, calling him a repeat offender." ”
Tian Qi looked at Niu Kui, who was lying on the stone couch with shackles: "Niu Kui, come out." ”
But after waiting for a while, Niu Kui still fell asleep motionlessly on his side.
"Open. Tian Qi instructed the prison head.
But where did the prison head dare to slack off, and quickly opened the prison door, but during the halfway, Niu Kui was as if he didn't notice it, and Tian Qi and Gao on the side glanced at each other.
Gao Yuanli stepped directly into the cell, came to Niu Kui's side, and scolded Niu Kui with a sword scabbard.
Niu Kui's body turned upside down.
"Shhh The four women behind Tian Qi gasped one after another, Niu Kui's eyes opened violently at this time, bleeding from seven holes, and his death was extremely miserable.
Tian Qi turned his head to look at the prison head: "Who has been in contact with him?"
"Lord Hui, after the old man took over, he guarded directly outside, and no one has ever come in!"
But Tian Qi looked at the prison head with cold eyes.
The prison boss groaned in his heart, thinking that no one had ever entered, but now he was dead in his cell.
"Bang!" The prison head knelt down directly: "My lord, have you been wronged? The old man definitely has no other thoughts, let alone poisoning the other party." ”
Tian Qi ignored the prison head, and ordered in an indifferent tone: "Go, Zhou Zhou Zhong and Fang Gang are called." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. The head of the prison kowtowed like garlic and hurriedly agreed, "Please wait, my lord, the old man will go now." ”
Tian Qi looked at the four girls behind him: "Go back, you don't have to participate in this way." Tian Qi no longer paid attention to the four daughters, but stepped directly into the cell.
Jin Nian looked at Miao Yuxue and Huang Shiqi's sisters, "Since Gongzi has given the order, let's go, this is the class that seems to be told to Sister Xue'er, it's not that simple, let's stop making trouble here." ”
Miao Yuxue looked at Gao Yanli, and then turned around to keep up with Jin Nian.
And the Huang Shiqi sisters, looked at Niu Kui, who was miserable in death, and finally looked behind Tian Qi, the two girls didn't say anything, just turned around and chased after Jin Nian and Miao Yuxue.
The prison head received Tian Qi's order, and quickly went to Si Kou's mansion, and after informing him of the news, he took Zhou Zhong and Fang Gang and others back to the cell again.
Tian Qi turned to see that Zhou Zhong and Fang Gang had arrived, but the old ghost also rushed over, Tian Qi looked at Zhou Zhong and the two seriously: "Let's talk about it, why don't you check the things on Niu Kui's body, which causes Niu Kui to commit suicide by taking poison now." ”
"Lord Qiqi, Fang Gang and I will carefully check it, and I hope that the adults will investigate it clearly. Zhou Zhongzhong said in fear.
"Back to my lord, Zhou Zhong checked it once, and his subordinates checked it a second time, I promise that it will be cleaner than the women in Fengyue Pavilion. Fang Gang said bitterly in his heart.
Tian Qi looked at everyone expressionlessly: "Could it be that the poison can still run in by itself?"
The head of the prison also stood beside Zhou Zhong and the others in fear: "Wronged, I really haven't let go of touching and coming in, and I ask my lord to know it." ”
"Lord, what the prison chief said, I can vouch for him, after all, I have lived here for a hundred years, and I know the fate of everyone in the cell, my old ghost knows best. "The old ghost came out to speak for the prison boss.
"Why are you still stunned, and take Niu Kui's body back to Sikou Mansion. Tian Qi ordered indifferently.
"Yes. Zhou Zhong and Fang Gang, after hearing Tian Qi's order, quickly ran to the stone couch, directly lifted Niu Kui's body, and turned around to walk towards the cell.
