Qin Gao looked at his father. His father's majesty suddenly dropped again. He had already said everything he wanted to say, and now he didn't want to hide anything anymore when facing this question.
"If you must think that someone has taught your son," Qin Gao's eyes suddenly became gentle, and there was even a hint of a smile, "There is indeed one."
Qin Tongpan tensed up nervously. He really felt that someone was taking advantage of his son behind his back.
Qin Gao opened his mouth again and said, "That's sister Wan'er!"
It was indeed Sister Wan'er. He only made up his mind to do this after Sister Wan'er came to see him on the day he was drunk.
He could not forget sister Wan'er's smiling face, nor could he forget her desolation when her body was destroyed and no traces of it were left.
Wan'er was not the only one who lost her life at the hands of Sun Ji?
If Sun Ji were captured now, how many people could be saved?
He has already made a mistake regarding Wan'er and cannot make any more mistakes.
Qin Tongpan pointed at Qin Gao: "You are really crazy." He never thought that his son would go so crazy for Miss Kong.
"Maybe," Qin Gao said, "so father should believe that if I don't die, I will sue you to the capital together."
"I have written a letter and sent it to a trustworthy person. As long as I die, he will open the letter. The letter contains all kinds of information about Sun Ji, and that Sui Dynasty came to Minzhou to trade war horses with Sun Ji.
matters."
"By the way, in order to avoid Minzhou, you promised Sun Ji to go to Taozhou."
Qin Gao stared at Qin Tongpan: "Father, do you believe that this letter will be sent up? I believe it. Maybe my father is not willing to take the risk to redress the grievances of the people, but there must be people who can't stand this, whether it is for the people sincerely or to exclude others.
If you are dissident, someone will always come to check."
"You bastard," Qin Tongpan clenched his fists, stood up suddenly, and went to kick Qin Gao again, but Mrs. Qin hugged his legs tightly, "Master, master, do you really want to kill your son?
This is the flesh that fell off my body. If you want to kill him, kill me first! I took the people to arrest that person. If you want to plead guilty in front of Sun Ji, just take our heads with you.
"
Qin Tongpan looked at his wife who was lying on the ground, and then at Qin Gao who was kneeling there. How could he really make a move against them? He first shook off Mrs. Qin, and then sat down on the chair.
He was just worried that his son was being taken advantage of, but now he failed to ask the inside story. Maybe it was really his son's own doing.
If so, maybe their family still has a way to survive.
Judge Qin Tong looked at Qin Gao: "Now that you have arrested someone, what are you going to do?"
Qin Gao said: "Since Sun Ji wants to meet people in Minzhou, the war horses must also leave through here. When the time comes, he will be blocked. Those war horses will be Sun Ji's evidence of crime."
"Selling war horses is a capital crime, so my father can use his troops to capture Sun Ji."
"It's simple," Qin Tongpan said coldly, "Do you know how many people Sun Ji will bring? If I take Sun Ji here, if Taozhou knows about it, they won't attack us? How far is it from the capital?
If we don't know it from above, we will lose our lives."
There was no trace of fear on Qin Gao's face: "Now, do you want to wait? Wait until Sun Ji finds out about you?"
Of course, we can't wait. Waiting means death, so Qin Tongpan has no other way to go.
Qin Tongpan closed his eyes and finally calmed down his emotions. Then he looked at Mrs. Qin: "Where are the captured people being held? I'll go take a look."
He had to interrogate the interrogator first to see if what Qin Gao said was true.
Mrs. Qin got up, straightened her clothes, and opened the door.
The steward is already waiting outside.
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the three people, the steward did not dare to ask, but anxiously told what happened in the backyard: "Madam, the person we arrested last night..."
Mrs. Qin's heart trembled: "He ran away?"
The steward said: "No, no, there's just something wrong. Just now we wanted to give her some water, but when we took off the cloth that tied her mouth, she started yelling, saying that there was a ghost..."
The man's frightened look even frightened the steward.
I heard the word "there is a ghost".
Not only was Qin Gao not afraid, but he was shocked and hurriedly walked out.
Upon seeing this, Qin Tongpan and Mrs. Qin immediately chased after him.
…
The king in the empty house was really trembling.
A pair of eyes kept looking around. Her face was pale and completely devoid of any color, and her expression was extremely frightened.
Last night, she saw a ghost.
She is sure there is a ghost in this house.
Just after those people left and she was trying to get the rope off her body, a voice came from the window.
She didn't pay attention at first, thinking it was the wind blowing the grass and trees, or the stones hitting the window.
But soon, she heard a strange sound.
The voice was calling her name.
"Wang Zhen."
"Wang Zhen."
Wang Zhen's heart seemed to be squeezed tightly at this moment, and she looked into the darkness in horror and panic.
Under the moonlight, there were ghosts and shadows, but no human beings could be seen.
"Wang Zhen."
The sound was so small that it gave her the illusion that everything was based on her own delusions. She almost forgot to breathe...
Wang Zhen is her real name. Since she was adopted by "Fu Ji", she has never used it again. Instead, she named it Zheng Yi from her "godfather".
Except for my godfather and a few people, no one knew about this.
But in this place, someone called her that.
Wang Zhen's mouth was gagged with a piece of cloth, and he couldn't make any sound at all. He could only make two "wuwu" sounds, as if in response to the movement.
"Why did you collude with Sun Ji?"
The source of this sound seems to be underground.
"Do you know how many people Sun Ji killed?"
"That's right, you are not a good person either. You are working as a collaborator..."
Wang Zhen listened nervously. Suddenly, the window was blown open, and the cold and biting wind rushed in. The wind was like a person, pounced on her, pressed her there, and looked at her with cold eyes.
.
The voice also became shrill: "Do you know how many people Sun Ji has killed? Are there any lives on your hands?"
Wang Zhen wanted to dodge, but during the struggle, she fell back to the ground. The voice was so close to her, as if someone was speaking next to her ear.
who is it?
"Looking for me? I'm right behind you, I'm always watching you."
"When you meet Zhao Jingyan, you are going to meet Sun Ji at the inn under the pseudonym Sui Yi. I know it all. I have been watching you. I also know where your tea is hidden, hahahaha... none of you can run away until the time comes.
When we arrive, I will come to claim your life."
Wang Zhen was sure that no one could be seen wherever he looked.
So the one who spoke was not a human being.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhen was horrified and wanted to leave here immediately. His body actually moved under the exertion. Unfortunately, after a few moves, he could no longer use his strength.
There were sounds of her struggling in the room, as well as strange screams coming from her throat.
"Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen..."
Wang Zhen made so much noise in the house that the woman who was guarding her was finally alerted. The woman yawned and pushed the door open to look. She saw that Wang Zhen had moved to the door and immediately kicked and beat Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen was not afraid of pain, he just wanted the old lady to stay.
But the mother-in-law left anyway.
After the mother-in-law left, the voice calling her sounded again...
Wang Zhen was shaking like chaff, lying on the ground in agony, with her eyes wide open and not daring to close them, as if if she blinked, something terrifying would appear in front of her.
It wasn't until dawn that the sound stopped ringing again.
When the mother in charge came into the house to bring water, and as soon as she took off the cloth from her mouth, Wang Zhen shouted: "There is a ghost, there is a ghost here, help... help..."
There really is a ghost.
Wang Zhen seemed to have gone crazy and just wanted to leave this room.
His mouth was blocked again, and Wang Zhen struggled even more fiercely. His appearance even frightened the servants of the Qin family who were in charge, but no one dared to step forward and could only wait for the master to deal with it.
Finally, the steward's mother brought Qin Tongpan's family over.
Qin Tongpan looked at the woman huddled on the ground, frowned and was about to speak, when Qin Gao next to him had already rushed up and removed the strip of cloth from Wang Zhen's mouth.
"You said," Qin Gao said, "you said there was a ghost? Did you see a ghost? Where was it? What did she say?"
Qin Gao's words seemed to stimulate Wang Zhen even more. Wang Zhen stared at Qin Gao: "It's not me...it's not me...don't come and ask for your life, I don't know...what Sun Ji did is none of my business...
…”
Qin Gao turned to look at Qin Tongpan: "Dad, did you hear that? She knows Sun Ji, she knows Sun Ji."
Wang Zhenyu repeated to himself: "It's none of my business, don't come looking for me, I don't know anything."
Qin Tongpan now somewhat believed what he said to his son, but he still wanted to find out where this man came from and why he suddenly became like this.
Qin Tongpan ordered the steward: "Ask Mr. Zhou from the Yamen Office to bring some people over. I want to interrogate her carefully."
…
Zhao Luoyang was in Mr. Song's wing, talking to Mr. Song.
Zhao Luoyang said: "How much money do you have left? When we get to Taozhou, in addition to the fields allocated to us by the court, can we buy more?"
"I think if you start late, it may become more expensive in the future."
Mr. Song was drinking the tea in front of him. The little fox was asking how much property he still had. Hmm, how could he let her know?
Mr. Song turned his back on Zhao Luoyang and said, "First of all, where did you go last night? Do you know everything about what happened in the back house?"
"I don't know," Zhao Luoyang shook his head, "Don't we have to wait for the news from the Qin family uncle?"
It would be weird to believe her. Mr. Song thought: "Now that Qin Tong has captured Sui, he can only be forced to deal with Sun Ji. But have you ever thought about something? What if Sui can't be persuaded anymore?
, help us lure Sun Ji to the bait, what should we do?"
Zhao Luoyang looked at Mr. Song: "Mr. knows this matter."
Mr. Song frowned.
Zhao Luoyang served the tea in front of Mr. Song again: "If Sui can't do it anymore, sir, you can recommend someone to go see Sun Ji. Anyway, this is Sun Ji's first meeting with the young master of 'Fu Ji'."
