Wen Qiyu knew that Xiao Chengyi was inquiring about Cangya Mountain, so naturally he didn't come to rescue him so quickly.
He put down his chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his lips and said, "Young lady, are you worried about my life or death?"
Qingcheng choked, and asked: "Do you know where the regent is? If you know, don't hide it. The palace owner is going crazy because he can't wait to see the regent. Now he wants to arrest all the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city.
.”
She has been in the city for three years. Now the people who stay in the city are some poor people who have nowhere to go. Their relatives have been taken to Cangya Mountain to work as coolies, and their lives and deaths are unknown.
In the past few years, she had often helped the people in the city and got along well with them. However, because of Xiao Chengyi, the palace owner wanted to arrest them.
She could more or less guess the palace lord's intention, but it was not what she wanted to see, so she came to see Wen Qiyu.
Wen Qiyu stood up after hearing her words. He walked to the cell door and asked, "Do you know what personal grudge your palace master and the regent have?"
Qingcheng shook her head: "I didn't even know that the palace master and the regent knew each other before."
Wen Qiyu said: "From what the palace master said, she seemed to like the regent, and it was also because of this that she assassinated the princess before."
It's a pity that he and Xiao Chengyi have only known each other for a short time and don't know much about their past.
In order to resolve this situation, we need to figure out what happened.
Seeing that she had been led astray, Qingcheng said anxiously: "I didn't come to you to hear what you said. If the regent doesn't show up, the people in the city will suffer, and you don't want to see the people suffering innocently.
Bar?"
Wen Qiyu looked at Qingcheng and said, "But I really don't know where the regent is."
Qingcheng was speechless for a moment. Since Wen Qiyu didn't know, she didn't waste any more time and turned around to leave.
But she heard Wen Qiyu call her: "Miss Qingcheng."
Qingcheng turned to look at him and heard Wen Qiyu say: "Actually, the person who can save the people in the city is not the regent, but you.
Although you shout about beating and killing all day long, I know that your conscience is still intact, otherwise you would not come to see me.
You are a good girl and you should not hurt others just because you have been hurt by a man. The palace master wants to implicate the innocent people in the city for her own selfish desires. Do you really think she is worthy of allegiance?"
Qingcheng was stunned for a moment. In fact, she did not agree with the palace master's actions, but the palace master had saved her life, and she could not resist.
If Xiao Chengyi can be found and brought to the palace lord, perhaps innocent people can be avoided.
But she had never thought about betraying the palace master.
She was about to speak when she heard a sneer coming from behind: "How brave you are."
Qingcheng looked back and saw Honglian walking over with someone. Her expression changed and she hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Palace Master."
Honglian glanced at Qingcheng, and she snorted coldly: "I didn't ask you to arrest the people in the city, what are you doing here?"
Qingcheng said: "I know that the palace master wants to see the regent, so I came to interrogate this man and ask him to explain the whereabouts of the regent."
"Yeah?"
Honglian laughed and asked: "Then what did you find out during the interrogation?"
Qingcheng lowered her head and said, "This subordinate is incompetent."
