Magistrate Longhuai is a man with a big belly and a rather official style. When he entered Dihuazhuang, the first thing he reported was not the greetings or the momentum, but the round belly like a woman's ten-month pregnancy. It is this belly full of people's wealth and wealth.
Ye Hua's fat belly made it difficult for Ye Hua Wan. No matter how he tied the rope, it was easy to loosen it. Finally, Fu Chu had an idea and figured out a way.
"If you stab it in with a knife, there will be a lot of grease. It's disgusting." The young owner of Yiye Villa kicked Magistrate Longhuai in disgust. The elastic fat immediately returned all the strength, making Ye
Hua Wan almost fell down.
Fu Chu turned over the square table and fixed the fat man's limbs on the table legs. He stood up, clapped his hands, and rubbed Ye Huawan's head: "Ye Zi, go back to your room first."
Although Ye Huawan was a little reluctant, he hesitated for a moment and still responded with a dull voice, turned around, closed the door and went back to the room alone.
The magistrate of Longhuai County was a disciple of Prime Minister Zuo, and he was also the leader who was ordered by Yi Chenxuan and Prime Minister Zuo to search for the whereabouts of Yi Chenjing and others around Longhuai County. Bai Qige planned to extract as much useful information as possible from him.
It was inevitable to use some torture methods during this process. Although Ye Huawan was half a member of the Jianghu community, she was quite resistant to bloody killings, so it was reasonable for her to avoid it.
In the empty room with the doors and windows closed, Magistrate Longhuai looked at the man, woman and handsome young man standing around in horror. After struggling for a long time, he finally gave up. He looked around at everyone with his small, round eyes: "You, what are you?
Human? Do you know who I am?"
"If I don't know who you are, why are you kidnapped?" Bai Qige squatted down expressionlessly, half an inch out of the sheath of the dagger in her hand, "Aren't you looking for us? Why, you can't even guess who we are? Prime Minister Zuo is really
Stingy, if I send you a few portraits, you won't have to look for them so hard."
Magistrate Longhuai looked confused at first, then his face suddenly changed when he thought of who was standing in front of him. He was pale and almost colorless, and even his voice was out of tune: "Are you the seventh prince and the prince's concubine?!"
"You still have some brains. You must also understand that you can't escape. If we want to kill you, we can't kill you. Listen, you will answer whatever I ask you. Don't lie to me or hide it from me. That way you
Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
Watching the dagger expertly flipped in Bai Qi's singer with trepidation, Magistrate Longhuai trembled non-stop and almost burst into tears: "Princess, please forgive me, I don't know anything, I really don't know anything!"
Bai Qige naturally wouldn't believe his lies. She turned her wrist and unsheathed her dagger. The sharp thin blade was pressed against her thick neck: "It's up to you whether you want to say it or not. I just want to answer."
The straightforward questioning method surprised Yi Chenjing. Not to mention a charming young lady from a well-known family, even he who has been on the battlefield for many years and has been involved in overt and covert battles does not have such courage and means. Looking at Fu Chu's stunned look, he also
It can be seen that the Poison Doctor disciple who is halfway across the world has never seen such a scene. Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Yi Chenjing stood silently and hugged his shoulders, waiting with interest to see what Bai Qige would do next.
.
"Xiaoguan is just following the arrangements from above. No matter how you say it, you will do it. The higher the official level, the more powerful you are. A small county magistrate with no power has no choice! I have long heard that the seventh prince loves the people like his own son and has both political integrity and talent.
It’s too late to admire me, so how could I secretly murder you? The seventh prince is aware of it, the princess is aware of it, it’s really unjust to be dismissed..."
Bai Qige was very disdainful of Longhuai County Magistrate's lack of integrity and he began to howl before he could be questioned. With a little force on his wrist, the sharp sword cut through the skin and made a long and thin wound, and hot blood snaked down his neck.
It flowed down and dyed the white skirt red.
"If you say any more nonsense, I will open another hole in your body. It's up to you to decide. I don't have much patience." Bai Qige wiped the blood from the sword blade on Magistrate Longhuai's face and lowered her voice, "You
How do you contact Prime Minister Zuo? How many people are following us? What other things do you know?"
"The Prime Minister always sent letters or sent messages... apart from asking me to pay attention to whether there is any movement of the Seventh Prince, he... said nothing..." The severe pain caused Magistrate Longhuai to howl like a pig,
He was so nervous that he couldn't speak coherently, and his twisted facial features were ridiculous.
Bai Qige did not continue to press. She could see that Magistrate Longhuai was a loser. At most, he could be regarded as a useless chess piece that could be discarded at any time by Prime Minister Zuo. It was impossible for such an incompetent and timid guy to be at best an informant or a mercenary.
I got too much valuable information from him. After all, his parents were officials. How did this person become the county magistrate in the first place? Looking at his fat body and shiny face, I am afraid that he will never be an upright official, not to mention how many innocent people he has harmed.
.
With a flexible movement of her fingers, she pointed the gleaming sword tip downwards at Magistrate Long Huai's eyebrows. Bai Qige remained calm and calm: "The last question, who will command the people who are chasing us? Don't tell me it's the fifth prince and the
Prime Minister Zuo, I want the specific name of the person responsible for commanding."
"This... Your Majesty..." Magistrate Longhuai, who had just answered simply, began to hesitate. He obviously knew the answer but did not want to tell it. The tip of the sword circled along the round face, and finally hung on the bloodshot
Above his eyes, the distance was not even an inch. Such a terrifying cold light made Magistrate Longhuai shiver, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. After suffering for a long time, just when Bai Qige was pretending to be impatient and about to drop his sword, Magistrate Longhuai
A wailing cry: "Qiao Zhaohai! It's Qiao Zhaohai, the master of Helei Hall! Don't kill me, don't kill me! It's all done by people sent by Qiao Zhaohai! Don't kill me..."
"Master of Helei Hall?" Bai Qige looked at Fu Chu, who nodded to show that he knew this person.
Finding out these clues meant that all the effort was in vain. Seeing Magistrate Longhuai covered in chaff as if his skin had been peeled off, and gasping for breath, Bai Qige kicked him unconscious, put away his dagger and returned to Yi Chenjing's side.
"Odi Tianhong has prepared the carriage and horses, and is just waiting for us to go down the mountain and continue on our way. What are you going to do with this guy?" Yi Chenjing glanced at Magistrate Longhuai, who didn't know what was going on, with disgust in his eyes.
Bai Qige let out a long sigh: "We can't keep him here. Firstly, we must prevent him from contacting Yi Chenxuan's men and exposing our whereabouts. Secondly, when such a person becomes a county magistrate, he will inevitably squeeze the people. It is extremely abominable, so why not take this opportunity?"
Do a good deed for the people of Longhuai."
Longhuai County is located in a remote area and has always been relatively poor. Big local companies like Dihuazhuang only have a small amount of money when they get it out. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Many corrupt officials love this kind of backcountry, plundering people's wealth and money.
Wudu, even if there is a life-threatening lawsuit, it is difficult to spread it. Fu Chu, who lives next door, is very familiar with this and is very disgusted with it. Therefore, he was quite touched when he heard Bai Qige's words: "Since ancient times, what people hate most is not the barbarian enemies, but the generals."
If you point your sword at the corrupt officials of your compatriots, the country can be destroyed and restored, and the family can be reorganized after it is destroyed, but it is difficult to warm up the hearts of these people once they are cold."
"The world is ultimately the world of the people." Looking at Yi Chenjing with meaningful eyes, Bai Qige hoped that he could understand the intention of her words with Fu Chu. After all, she had read history and knew that water can carry a boat and also capsize it.
The principle of boat.
Looking at the two people with serious expressions, Yi Chenjing shook his head helplessly: "You two really should be emperor's masters, and you will say one thing to the other, as if I am a stupid and ignorant tyrant."
A few words relieved the solemn atmosphere. After discussion, the three of them tied up Magistrate Longhuai and stuffed his bloated body into Feng Wujiang's truck and covered it up with sundries. The small truck originally filled with goods looked like a mountain.
"I left three months' worth of antidote for Mr. Ogizhuang and told him that we would detoxify him completely after we arrived safely in the imperial capital. However, I didn't tell him that the poison he took was actually thistle and rehmannia. It's bitter.
If you drink it a little, it won't kill you at all." In the car, Fu Chu looked innocent.
The poison doctor spends his life detoxifying and saving people, instead of inflicting poison to harm people. Where did Fu Chu get the strange poison? It was just to scare Ogi Tianhong. Bai Qige couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and Yi Chenjing was a little emotional, and there was something in her eyes when no one was watching.
The wipe flashed by sadly.
If Bai Qige could get to know the poison doctor earlier, if Bai Qige could ask him for help as soon as possible after her abortion... maybe, her dream could come true.
The wheels rotated tirelessly, passing through gullies and puddles, leaving ruts. The young man driving the car also hummed a tune tirelessly, with a melodious and cheerful tune, full of exotic atmosphere.
"What kind of music is it? It sounds so good." Ye Huawan couldn't help but knock on the car door panel.
"It's just a little song spread in my hometown. It has no name." There was a smile in the green eyes, as if recalling some beautiful scene, and suddenly became extremely gentle, "My mother would hum this song to comfort me when I couldn't sleep when I was a child.
It’s a pity that children fall asleep quickly and can’t always hear the second half of the song, and now they can only understand the first half.”
Having known Ning Xizui for so long, this was the first time Bai Qige heard him mention his family. Seeing him carefree and wandering around all day long, she thought his heart must be vast and boundless. He never knew what sorrow was, but she didn't want to.
There is also a sense of homesickness in his gentle tone and elegant voice.
Lifting up the car window, the melodious tunes in her ears were louder, but Ning Xizui's figure was still hidden from view by the car. Bai Qige put her head out of the window, and then she could barely see her long, light golden hair.
"Where is Mr. Ning's hometown?"
"Far, far away, there are no city-states or emperors, and many tribesmen live together." The breeze blew the answer loudly and clearly, seemingly with a smile, "It's not as prosperous and lively as Yaoguo, it's more prosperous than Longhuaai."
The county is even poorer, but everyone is happy. They have enough to eat, warm clothes, and a loved one to cook soup for you, so you don’t have any worries."
Bai Qige felt a little relieved.
Yi Chenjing had always suspected that Ning Xizui was a remnant of the Xia'an Kingdom. The Xia'an Kingdom had a city-state, military strength, and wealth that was not inferior to that of the Zhao Kingdom. Naturally, it could not be the poor and tribal hometown that Ning Xizui claimed.
For what purpose did they approach each other? Then Yi Chenjing would not continue to be suspicious?
Ning Xizui is different from Yi Chenxuan. His gentleness and considerateness are sincere and not false at all. She can feel it, so she becomes a friend and confidant with him without warning.
Her cheeks warmed slightly while she was lost in thought, and she lowered her eyes in surprise. Ning Xizui turned sideways and touched her face lightly with her raised fingers.
"The wind is strong, be careful to catch a cold."
Bai Qige smiled and shrank back to sit in the car. The slight touch on her face gradually faded away, and she suddenly understood something in her heart.
She comes from a distant future time and space, and she doesn't care about the rules about whether men and women should be intimate with each other. Ning Xizui is also an unruly and cheerful person. When the two of them are together, there is always some physical contact. These actions are insignificant to them, but they are just...
It just means the close relationship between friends, but in the eyes of others, it may mean much more.
That's why Yi Chenjing was so jealous.
A chuckle attracted Yi Chenjing's confused gaze. Bai Qige was completely unaware of it. She raised the corners of her lips and looked out the window. Her slightly cold fingertips naturally fell into Yi Chenjing's palm.
"The only person who can hold my hand firmly is you..."
