Mu Baihao looked at him coldly and said, "I didn't expect you to be still alive!"
"Tan Zhimin thinks I'm a cash cow and has found a scapegoat a long time ago! Everything about the deal between you and Qu Rongjie is in my head!" Lu Yi looked at the curtain above his head and said in a calm voice.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Mu Baihao narrowed his eyes.
"If you want to kill me, it's useless what I say, but you won't kill me! You came in just to test me." The green clothed eyes turned to him, "After all, you still want to restore the country, and you don't want to do that.
Expose your identity quickly."
Mu Baihao raised the hand with the kitchen knife and slowly put it down.
"Lu Yi, you are very smart, but sometimes being too smart is not a good thing!"
"I just want to survive. It's not as complicated as you think... Don't worry, I won't reveal your identity. After all, it's not good for me. Now I just want to escape Yazhuxuan and have a place where I can survive. Just
That’s all!”
"I hope you do what you say, otherwise, you won't die too happily!"
Mu Baihao walked out, Lu Yi supported his body and sat up, looked at the empty wine bowl on the table, and murmured:
"You and I both have our own goals, but we have one thing in common... revenge!"
Mu Baihao stood in the moonlight, closed his eyes, and his mind was filled with images of Jin soldiers entering the city to kill people.
Yes, the word revenge has been engraved in his bone marrow!
…
The next morning, Xia Jin got up early. After washing and eating breakfast, she planned to go to the Food Hall to see how Lu Yi was doing.
As soon as he went out, he saw a young man standing outside the courtyard. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly greeted her.
"master!"
Xia Jin turned around and said, "Xiao Qiang!"
"I have been here for many days, and my master has not yet taught me how to use my powers flexibly!" Li Qiang said.
Xia Jin thought for a while, this matter is not urgent, you can get familiar with the environment here for a few days, and I will have a gift for you in a few days!
After saying that, Xia Jin walked out.
When he arrived at the Food God Hall, Qin Hao'ou had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Xia Jin coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
"master!"
"Go upstairs and talk!"
When we got to the private room on the second floor, Luyi was already waiting above.
He was sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table. He was wearing a thin green gauze coat, lined with a snow-white gown, and his long hair was loose. After removing the makeup, he became less charming and more elegant, with a touch of scholarly family background.
Seeing Xia Jin coming, he raised his forehead politely and said:
"Boss Xia, or should I call you...Miss Xia!"
Xia Jin sat opposite him, picked up the tea he had brewed, took a sip and nodded.
"The tea soup is bright green, the aroma is fresh and pure, the taste is fresh and sweet, and the tea art is good!"
Putting down the tea cup, she looked at Lu Yi sitting opposite her and said, "If you don't speak secretly, Mr. Lu Yi should know why I want to save you!"
"I know." He nodded.
"Now, I'm all ears!" Xia Jin looked into his eyes.
The green man's eyes turned to one side, looking in the direction of the door, then quickly retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and said:
"Six months ago, Qu Rongjie came to Yazhuxuan. They decided to call the piano room and asked me to play the piano. There were three people who came in with him, two of them were businessmen from the Kingdom of Jin, and one of them... wore a mask."
"Businessman from the Kingdom of Jin?" Xia Jin touched her chin, "Sure enough, he has contacts with the Kingdom of Jin!"
"What did they talk about? Did Mr. Green hear clearly?" Xia Jin asked.
Luyi recalled carefully for a moment and said: "They mentioned Beimen Pass and Lin Ziyi, and also mentioned... Chixi Kingdom. I didn't hear what they were talking about specifically, but I saw them exchanging a red booklet.
, find the red booklet, maybe there will be evidence."
"Do you know where to find those two Jin businessmen?" Xia Jin asked.
"The Capital Chamber of Commerce keeps records of all merchants who go to the capital. Miss Xia will gain something if she goes there." After Lu Yi finished speaking, he coughed softly.
"I have told everything I know. If there is nothing else, can I go down and rest?" He looked at Xia Jin with a pleading tone in his voice.
Xia Jin thought of the abnormality she found when checking his pulse yesterday, and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Green, for the clue."
"You save me, and I'll tell you what I saw and heard. This is just a deal, there's no need to thank me."
He stood up, opened the door and walked out, holding his chest.
"This person is really cold." Qin Hao'ou complained.
"Anyway, we finally have some clues. Next, we have to go to the Chamber of Commerce to search for registration, find the two Jin Kingdom businessmen, and get the red booklet of the transaction with Qu Yujie from them. In this way, the truth will come to light!
"
Xia Jin vaguely guessed that the battle at Beimen Pass and the destruction of the Chixi Kingdom were all related to Qu Rongjie.
"Master, I always feel that the water here is very deep! Besides, going to the Capital Chamber of Commerce to investigate is not an easy task!" Qin Hao'ou looked serious.
Suddenly, Qin Haoou remembered something and said:
"Today is the day that Zhang Heng will be executed. The executioner is General Lin. Do you want to go over and take a look? When I came, the Meridian Gate was already full of people."
Zhang Heng, a capable scapegoat, is quite miserable, but from his point of view, he deserves to die. After all, the person who wants him to die is his master, Li Xiaotian!
“Go and see!”
When Xia Jin and Qin Haoou arrived at the Meridian Gate, they were already surrounded by people watching the excitement.
Qin Haoou decided to sit next to the window on the third floor of a nearby restaurant, from where he could see the execution platform.
On the execution platform, Zhang Heng was tied up with five flowers, and a fat and muscular executioner stood beside him. Lin Ziyi was sitting on the high platform, and sitting on one side was a minister. He must be a supervisor or something like that.
.
The third floor of the tavern was full of people who came to watch the excitement, and people around were talking about it.
"Is this guy tired of living? It's not good to kill anyone, but I want to kill people from the Dongmen family!"
"I heard that today there will be no direct beheading. There will be a delay before beheading because people from the Dongmen family are also here!"
"Really or not, why didn't I see it?"
"They are probably just watching from the crowd. You don't even think about it. Even the emperor is afraid of the people of the Dongmen family. How could they easily spare this murderer?"
Listening to the comments of the people around him, Qin Haoou clicked his tongue, "Zhang Heng is miserable!"
"He brought it upon himself!" the thin-faced man at the next table retorted.
Qin Hao'ou glanced at him and said: "Zhang Heng is just taking the blame, and the murderer is actually at large! If we have to say that he brought the blame on himself, we can only say that he is too loyal! However, now he has no chance to regret it.
Come on!"
These words attracted the attention of another table, and a man in white clothes looked towards them.
"Master, would you like to go over and ask for details?" the attendant beside him asked.
The man raised his hand, then stood up and walked over.
"Sir, could you please elaborate a little more on what you just said?" The voice was as soft as jade, gentle and pleasant to the ear.
