NOVEL WEB Chapter 484: The Farmer and the Snake
Chapter 484 The so-called farmer and the snake
Shen Mingyan!
Shen Mingjiao and Cui Lingling looked at each other, and Cui Lingling probably knew about what Shen Mingyan had done, she doubted: "Didn't you say that you brought her to Su Qing's side? Could it be that Su Qing is up to some conspiracy? "
Shen Mingjiao didn't know either, "After searching, take him to the flower hall."
Flower hall in the front yard. Shen Mingyan pinched the corner of her clothes nervously, and when she really entered Su Wang's mansion, she began to regret again, would Shen Mingjiao kill her directly?
But she has no choice, as Che Dahu said, she and Su Qing are so close, once the capital is really blown up, she will not be able to escape no matter what.
Che Dahu on the side was even more nervous. He rubbed his hands and whispered: "Do you know someone from Su Wang's mansion? Otherwise, why did those guards let us in?"
He walks darts all the year round, so he has some experience. This is the residence of a first-rank prince, and not anyone can enter it if they want to.
While thinking, Shen Mingjiao walked in.
Shen Mingjiao sat down at the front seat, glanced at the two casually, and asked straight to the point: "What's the matter?"
Shen Mingyan lowered her head, not daring to look at her, and quickly said the matter,
Everyone in the flower hall was stunned for a while after listening, Cui Lingling blinked in disbelief: "Wouldn't that woman Su Qing have such abilities?"
Then he asked curiously: "Then what kind of cannon is really so powerful?"
Shen Mingyan nodded hesitantly, she didn't know what grade the big bubbles made by Su Qing were? Anyway, modern cannons seem to be quite powerful.
Shen Mingjiao was not too surprised. According to Shen Mingyan who was under hypnosis, Su Qing specialized in making weapons in another time and space. In Qingyun County, the large amount of sulfur and saltpeter that the Jin family donated to the East Palace through the hands of Ye Chen also made sense.
She looked at Shen Mingyan, raised her eyebrows and asked: "Then Miss Shen came here to tell this concubine, what is she asking for? It can't be for the people of Liming!"
Shen Mingyan leaned over and knelt down: "I...I want to live!"
Shen Mingjiao was not surprised that she would say this, and said calmly: "Those things Su Qing committed affect the safety of the people in the court, and this concubine, a woman, can't get involved? You are the same, leave everything to the law."
Originally, Shen Mingyan was not killed because she, like Su Qing, came from a different time and space, and she was afraid that killing someone rashly would trigger something beyond the scope of manpower.
And when Xiaoxuetuan disappeared, she already knew what happened to Su Qing and Shen Mingyan through the extra things in her mind, but too many things happened these days. She never thought of such a person.
Now... She touched her belly and sighed,
Leave everything to the law!
Out of the flower hall, Cui Lingling was about to leave in a hurry: "I have to report this news to His Majesty."
Shen Mingjiao pulled her back, "It's okay, His Majesty makes his own decision."
Cui Lingling blinked suspiciously, and then realized, "You mean, His Majesty knew about it a long time ago? Just like the palace change a few days ago..."
Because she had just given birth and was busy taking care of the baby, Nie Gutang was handling the affairs of the Red Lotus Sect during this time.
Shen Mingjiao: "Almost!"
"It is estimated that before the execution of the prince, everything will be over."
Cui Ling puffed up her face in anger: "I don't care about anything else, I just want to know when Su Qing will die, this woman is as haunting as a fly!"
After finishing speaking, she happily took Shen Mingjiao's arm, "Anyway, if you're idle, you're idle, why don't we join in the fun."
…
In Luodu City, which is adjacent to the capital, there was a line of people entering the city at the gate, and the gate guard stood lazily aside.
Generally, when there is no special order from above, the city gate guard only needs to check the people entering the city every day to see if there are any suspicious people.
In the middle of the queue, a simple-looking farmer drove an ox cart past. After paying the entrance fee, the city gate guard nodded his chin to the ox cart: "Who is sitting inside?"
The farmer bent over and replied cautiously: "My mother is sick, and the little one is brought to the city to see the doctor."
After saying that, he raised his hand and opened the curtain, and a rotten breath came over his face. I saw a woman with a withered complexion lying on her side inside, and the people around couldn't help but sigh when they saw it.
Originally thought that the head of the city gate would hold their noses and let them go in disgust,
However, at the next moment, seven or eight armored soldiers came out from nowhere and surrounded the bullock cart.
Su Qing couldn't figure it out? Obviously their disguise was flawless enough, why were they arrested so quickly?
It wasn't until the two of them were sent all the way into Dali Temple, and she looked at the young man sitting high above, that she suddenly understood that her so-called comprehensive plan might be just a clown in the eyes of some people.
The two of them were knelt down on the ground, Su Qing looked up at Feng Lisheng, stopped struggling, and simply confessed:
"Your Highness King Su can ask whatever you want! Ah Qing must know that I don't say anything."
Feng Lisheng carefully flipped through the file in his hand, without raising his head, he just asked the minister of Dali Temple beside him in a low voice: "Have you brought all the people involved in this case?"
Master Chen nodded: "Except for Ye Chen and some of his subordinates, the rest have been captured."
"Okay, the trial will start after a cup of tea."
Su Qing saw Feng Lisheng as if she didn't exist, bit her lips, and said softly: "Your Highness, Ah Qing wants to talk to you alone!"
Feng Lisheng still didn't raise his head, Lord Chen frowned, and said with a bluffing face: "The convict wife Su is an important place in the government office, so don't make noise at will."
Su Qing was so humiliated by the phrase "the criminal woman Su Shi", her lips were almost bitten to the point of bleeding. A year ago, she was the prostitute daughter of the Su family who had a great reputation, and she was about to marry into the East Palace, but after only one year, she became a Criminal! How can this make her willing?
She said loudly to everyone in the hall: "Your Highness, can you spare my life? You can even send me to jail. I am valuable. I can make weapons. I also know many things that are not available in this world. I actually come from..."
However, before she finished speaking, Feng Lisheng closed the file impatiently, and coldly ordered the yamen servant at the side: "Shut her mouth."
The yamen servant got the order, and casually tore off the dirty sweat towel that couldn't see its original color, rolled it up and stuffed it into Su Qing's mouth, and the world suddenly became quiet!
Su Qing shook his head desperately, tears streaming down his face... disgusted!
My mouth was blocked by an indescribable taste, I couldn't vomit, and I had to hold back even when I wanted to vomit, it was worse than death!
Unexpectedly, Gong Jue kept his head down and didn't say a word. Since he sent Bai Ruoyun away, he led Su Qing away all the way. He thought he could leave without any regrets, but his heart seemed to be empty. let him have no peace,
He attributed all of this to guilt, and now that Su Qing was gagged, he subconsciously opened his mouth to help take the blame. After so many years, it seems to have become instinct to give everything for Su Qing.
However, before he could open his mouth, a yamen servant came to report that Princess Su and Mrs. Lu Guogong's son had come.
As soon as he said this, His Royal Highness King Su, who was calm from beginning to end, suddenly stood up, left the file and walked out of the hall.
Half a quarter of an hour later, he walked in with a beautiful woman carefully supported.
Shen Mingjiao greeted Cui Lingling together, found a place to sit down at random, and smiled at Lord Chen: "This concubine and Su Qing are old acquaintances, sir, don't mind me watching, don't worry! This concubine will just take a look, I won't get involved and your case."
Master Chen naturally dare not have an opinion. Although this is unreasonable, but this is not a serious trial. The most important thing is that His Highness is here!
Su Qing saw Shen Mingjiao, the greatest enemy in his life, approaching, his face turned red with anger, his mouth was gagged again, and he almost lost his anger.
Feng Lisheng poured a cup of hot tea for Shen Mingjiao. Seeing that the time was up, he signaled Mr. Chen to start, and then one by one the relevant people were brought up. These people had already been interrogated for a round before, so it was easy to confess freely, but the mouth was stiff. Even under the torture, they all obediently recruited.
The scribes who recorded the confession were writing vigorously. These people were not only about Su Qing, but most of them were the prince's remnant party.
With the passage of time, the various networks and people involved in the prince's secret deployment over the years have gradually become clearer.
Shen Mingjiao was quite interested at first, but after hearing too many similar incidents, she became a little drowsy. It mainly involves a lot of political content, in short, it is very hypnotic to listen to.
Cui Lingling listened with gusto, and Shen Mingjiao couldn't help admiring, she deserves to be engaged in intelligence, look at this professionalism,
When it was Su Qing and Gong Jue's turn, she finally regained her spirits, but to her disappointment, the two of them were quite cooperative, and they honestly confessed that they didn't make trouble at all.
No way, Su Qing also wanted to defend himself, but when he saw the stinky sweat towel in the yamen servant's hand, he immediately became honest.
Gong Jue wanted to shoulder everything alone and take the blame for Su,
Feng Lisheng didn't say anything else, and asked the yamen servant to hold a court stick thicker than an arm on Su Qing's back. If he dared to tell a lie, the court staff would greet Su Qing's back. How dare Gong Jue not recruit?
The scribe who recorded the confession put down his pen.
Feng Lisheng asked: "Have all the relevant personnel been interrogated?"
The leader of the yamen servant hesitated and said: "There is another one, I don't know whether to interrogate, that is the woman who was rescued in Huaihua Lane at Zishichu yesterday."
Hearing "Huahuaxiang Alley", Gong Jue suddenly raised his head.
Feng Lisheng: "Bring it up!"
Soon a woman with messy hair was brought in, it was Bai Ruoyun.
Behind her, followed by two bastard-looking men.
Seeing this, Shen Mingjiao suddenly lost all drowsiness, looked curiously at Bai Ruoyun who was kneeling under the hall, and then was taken aback,
I saw the woman's face was pale and her eyes were empty and numb, so let's not talk about it. The woman's clothes were messy, and her exposed neck and cheeks were slightly red, swollen and bruised. What?
Gong Jue also saw it, and couldn't help shrinking his pupils. He grew up in such a place, and no one knows better than him what these traces represent?
He squeezed his fingers tightly, and looked at Wang Mazi and the two suddenly,
Catching his gaze, the two of them lowered their heads in guilt. This reaction was almost self-inflicted.
Gong Jue's eyes trembled, subconsciously unwilling to accept such a cruel fact, but involuntarily looked at Bai Ruoyun.
Bai Ruoyun didn't look at him, and in a hoarse and calm voice described the cause and effect, from the time she was rescued by Gong Jue seven years ago, she had been raised by Gong Jue as Su Qing's substitute, until last night Gong Jue let her die instead of Su Qing, until Wang Mazi and Wang Mazi fell in love with each other. Sheng was malicious to her, and was rescued by the yamen who arrived in time on the way.
Even so, she lost her innocence.
Her voice fell, the hall was silent for a moment, Shen Mingjiao was shocked by the plot that only appeared in heart-abuse scripts. The fist hardened unconsciously.
Cui Lingling angrily kicked Wang Mazi and Wang Mazi to the ground.
The **** truth was in front of him, and Gong Jue had no way to escape. He clenched his fists and glared at Wang Mazi and Wang Mazi, gritted his teeth and said bitterly:
"Why?
talk! Why did you do that to her! "
Tie Dan buried his head deeply, and Wang Mazi knew that he was doomed this time, so he poked his neck and said:
"Can you blame us? You didn't want her first. This woman has been on your side for six or seven years, serving you with all her heart. You can't see her at all.
Brothers teased you and said, why not take her in! You said it yourself, she is just a display!
Since you don't care about it yourself, but you still want her to die, why are you guys just playing around! "
Gong Jue froze suddenly, opened his mouth to shout angrily, but was speechless for a moment. With difficulty, he turned his head to look at Bai Ruoyun, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry! I didn't know this would happen..."
Bai Ruoyun met his gaze blankly, and only said: "Gong Jue, we are settled, you saved my life, and I saved yours too. Your seven years of protection, everything, is also here yesterday. Pay off late, "
She took a breath, turned her head away from him, and said softly like a gust of wind, "I don't owe you anything!"
As she turned around, Gong Jue seemed to feel that something had completely disappeared. He wanted to cover his suffocating chest, but his hands were already shackled.
Shen Mingjiao couldn't stand it any longer, and said mockingly: "Since you were the one who abandoned her first, who are you still pretending to be so affectionate for now?"
Cui Lingling was also very angry: "What kind of love is worthy of a person like you, you just die with your goddess Su Qing!"
Gong Jue didn’t know where he was poked sorely, or because he was eager to prove something to himself, he couldn’t help retorting:
"What do you know? Ah Qing, she is the light in my life! She is the only person who gave me warmth when I was very young!"
Cui Lingling was speechless: "It's really a great love, this light has been shining on you all your life, hasn't it?"
Shen Mingjiao asked someone to move a chair for Bai Ruoyun to sit down, stared at Gong Jue, and mocked unceremoniously:
"I know, I know, didn't Su Qing give you a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake when you were a little beggar and you were about to die of starvation. Since then, you have regarded Su Qing as your belief in your heart, and you are absolutely devoted to her!"
"But you never thought that with Su Qing's vicious virtue, he would be so kind as to give pastries to a little beggar who is useless to her!"
After she finished speaking, she saw a trace of panic flashing in Su Qing's eyes with sharp eyes. Shen Mingjiao was a little surprised, in fact, when she said this, she just wanted to respond to Gong Jue, and didn't think too much about it.
After learning that Su Qing is a time-traveling woman, she took it for granted that the osmanthus cake given to Gongjue probably belonged to the original owner of Su Qing's body, but if that was the case, Su Qing didn't need to panic at all.
Could it be that there is something hidden in this?
When Gong Jue heard this, he instinctively retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"
Su Qing put away the panic in his eyes, and lowered his head aggrieved: "Let's say what they say, anyway, you and I are going to die soon!"
Shen Mingjiao was really impatient to watch the White Lotus performance, so she said directly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Gong Jue, you should know that I have learned a little skill, and you can tell the truth if you test it!"
She was talking about hypnosis, of course, now Su Qing lost the so-called heroine luck. It is not difficult to be hypnotized.
Concerned about the presence of so many people, she concealedly took out a jade pendant from her waist, waved it in front of Su Qing, and used the gap to stare at the other person's eyes.
Realized what she was going to do? Su Qing closed her eyes subconsciously,
Maybe it’s because of staying in that cave, or maybe it’s something that Yilin from a different time and space has done. Shen Mingjiao’s hypnosis is much more sophisticated than before, and she doesn’t have to stare into people’s eyes.
A halo shrouded in mist appears in the brain, which indirectly indicates that the hypnotized person is not mentally healthy.
Even though Su Qing was reluctant, driven by Shen Mingjiao's eyes, his figure gradually became sluggish.
Shen Mingjiao asked her: "Did you ever give Gong Jue sweet-scented osmanthus cake when you were young?"
"…No."
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, subconsciously looked at Gong Jue, and saw that the face of the young man with a stiff neck froze.
Shen Mingjiao asked again: "Then do you know who gave Gong Jue the sweet-scented osmanthus cake? Tell me the details!"
"It's... Bai Ruoyun!"
After the words fell, the hall was silent, and everyone looked at the woman sitting next to him in messy clothes.
Bai Ruoyun was obviously also in a daze, and raised his head in a daze.
Gong Jue's face turned completely pale.
He even wanted to interrupt the conversation between the two desperately, and continue to maintain the illusion. He was unwilling and did not dare to accept the worst possibility, which would drive him completely crazy!
But obviously this was beyond what he could stop, Su Qing's dull voice sounded in his ear:
"...I went to the White Mansion to play that day. Because I was about the same height as Bai Ruoyun, my aunt made two identical skirts. My cousin took us to the west of the city to see the newly arrived BMW. I thought it was too dirty, so we went alone. People sit in carriages.
The servant girl led Bai Ruoyun to buy a windmill, and Bai Ruoyun came back and said that she met a little beggar who was starving to death on the corner of the street, and felt that he was very pitiful. He wanted to send him to the hospital, but was stopped by the maid, so Bai Ruoyun gave the little beggar the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made in the mansion in the morning, which should be Gongjue.
Three years later, I was startled in the street, and was rescued by a boy. He said his name was Gong Jue, and that I had given him a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake three years ago.
I saw that he was a bit capable, so I didn't deny it. "
As her voice fell, the whole room was silent again. Cui Lingling looked at the three people in the center of the topic, and said with indescribable emotion: "Hey! What is this all about!"
The down-and-out boy met a kind-hearted rich lady in his most desperate and dark time. The rich lady smiled and encouraged him and gave him the only warmth that he had. The young man gradually became stronger, and vowed to protect the rich lady who gave him warmth for the rest of his life.
During the period, he also found a substitute. As much as he cared about the rich lady, he ignored the substitute! The rich lady is like a cloud in the sky, but the double is as humble as dust. In the end, the double died for the safety of the rich lady.
However, the truth was revealed. It turned out that the double he regarded as dust was the rich lady who had given him warmth back then!
Cui Lingling scratched her hair, wondering who is more pitiful between the two?
Bai Ruoyun blinked blankly, looked at Gong Jue, whose face was as pale as paper, and frowned, trying to remember, she did many similar things when she was a child.
At that time, there was no accident at home. My brothers loved her and often took her to play in the street. When she met poor beggars or people who were about to starve to death, she would give some money and wanted to take them back to the house. It took a few times of training to converge a little.
But when Su Qing said this, she had a vague impression that he seemed to be a very thin young boy, his face was so dirty that his facial features could not be seen clearly, and she really couldn't remember exactly what he said.
But I never thought that it would end up like this!
Good night, as expected, Su Qing will be offline tomorrow**
