The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

“Who are you? Who are you?!”

Li Qiuqiu stepped back in fear, but there was a thick wall behind her and she had nowhere to retreat.

The door of the woodshed was completely opened, and the light from outside shone in, allowing Li Qiuqiu and Liu Yu to see the person clearly.

There were five people standing at the door of the woodshed.

Four men and one woman.

They all wore different masks on their faces, covering their features, so it was impossible to tell what they looked like. The masks made them look ferocious.

Liu Yu shuddered all over and subconsciously moved towards Li Qiuqiu's direction. He had no idea what was going on and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you capture me?"

He swore that he had never done anything wrong. Even if Lord Shi forced him to come up with some methods that were not beneficial to the people, he would rather die than surrender. On normal days, he would not have the heart to step on an ant even if it passed by his feet.

How could a good man like him be targeted by bad people?

Could it be that the other party couldn't see clearly and caught the wrong person?

Liu Yu was deeply puzzled and greatly shocked.

He decided to wait and see.

Xie Xi, who was standing at the front, pursed his lips and said nothing. He held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand and glanced at Mu Qing. Just as he was about to signal Mu Qing to come forward and ask some questions, Xie Xi suddenly felt his sleeve being tugged.

Xie Xi lowered his eyes, and his gentle gaze met Lu Xiaoxiao's sparkling eyes, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaoxiao curved her eyes towards Xie Xi, her lips slightly raised, and two shallow dimples appeared on her porcelain-white cheeks. She whispered, "Husband, let me try."

After these words were spoken, not only Xie Xi was surprised.

Even Meng Huaijun, Xie Jiu, and guard Mu Qing who were standing behind found it strange.

None of the three of them had expected that Lu Fengyi would actually say such a thing.

Suddenly, three curious eyes fell on Xie Xi, as if wanting to know how His Highness would answer.

Xie Xi seemed not to notice their gazes. He suddenly raised his hand and rubbed Lu Xiaoxiao's head, saying in a doting tone, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."

"Uh-huh!"

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded happily.

Meng Huaijun, Xie Jiu, and Mu Qing, the guards: "..."

Hiss, His Highness really dotes on Lu Fengyi!

Xie Jiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Fengyi's family background was too low, given how much the master doted on Lu Fengyi, he might have even thought of making Lu Fengyi the Crown Princess.

It's a pity that the royal family attaches great importance to family background, and Lu Fengyi could never become the Crown Princess.

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know what Xie Jiu was thinking. After hearing Xie Xi's answer, she let go of Xie Xi's hand, strode forward, and stood in front of Li Qiuqiu and Liu Yu.

Wearing on her face was a rabbit mask that Xie Xi had personally chosen for her.

Considering their identities, it was not appropriate for too many people to know them. Therefore, before coming to the woodshed, Xie Xi asked the guard Mu Qing to go out and buy a few masks.

Lu Xiaoxiao coughed lightly, and stared at Li Qiuqiu with her round almond-shaped eyes, and said word by word: "Are you Li Qiuqiu from the Suzhou Li family? The mistress of Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an?"

Speaking of which, this was the first time Lu Xiaoxiao saw what Li Qiuqiu looked like.

With charming looks and good temperament, she knows how to make use of her own advantages. No wonder she has been able to stay with Shi Weian for so long and is valued by Shi Weian.

It was just Li Qiuqiu's brother getting married, and Shi Wei'an was willing to give her this face...

With the faint light, Li Qiuqiu could see that the person standing in front of her was a woman.

Li Qiuqiu opened her mouth, intending to fool people and deny her identity.

But when she met those eyes that seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, Li Qiuqiu shuddered uncontrollably and spoke tremblingly: "I, I am Li Qiuqiu, what do you want to do?"

Now that Shi Weian hasn't sent anyone to rescue her, if she still wants to stay alive, she can only think of another way.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao chuckled and tried to release a kind aura: "Actually, I don't want to do anything, I just want to know something from you."

"Li Qiuqiu, you should cooperate, right?"

Li Qiuqiu: “…” What if she doesn’t want to cooperate?

Although she wanted to, Li Qiuqiu didn't have the courage to refuse.

Li Qiuqiu turned her head and quickly glanced at Mr. Liu who was standing not far from her. Then she retracted her gaze and looked forward: "I don't know what you want to ask. As you said, I am just the mistress of the Governor-General. I don't know much."

"Do not."

Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head, staring at Li Qiuqiu with sparkling eyes, "There is one thing you must know very clearly."

Li Qiuqiu: ???

The corners of Li Qiuqiu's mouth twitched. Is she so sure?

"Then ask."

Li Qiuqiu understood her current situation, sighed softly, and said, "If I knew, I would definitely tell you everything."

"Mrs. Li!"

Seeing that Li Qiuqiu was really going to compromise, Liu Yu immediately became very nervous and scolded: "This is about the Governor's matter, Madam Li, don't talk nonsense!"

Now I don't know whether these people in front of me are good or bad. If they know about my affairs, they will use it to threaten me and persecute the people...

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Liu Yu was stunned. A blank look appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but think -

Over the years, it seems that the adults have not done anything to benefit the people.

Li Qiuqiu looked embarrassed and said in a difficult tone: "I can't even save my own life right now. Since you can't save me, I can only save myself!"

After these words were spoken, Liu Yu came back to his senses and fell silent.

Lu Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with Li Qiuqiu's understanding of the current situation. She clapped her hands and asked, "Li Qiuqiu, do you know that Shi Wei'an accepted bribes when he was an official?"

Xie Xi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Xiao Xiao would ask about this right away.

Li Qiuqiu was silent for a moment before slowly answering, "I know."

Not only did she know, but many times, those people sent boxes of "filial piety" to Shi Weian through her hands.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Then tell me in detail, don't leave out any of the details."

Li Qiuqiu: "The master really values ​​me and trusts me. I have been with him and learned a lot of things. Among them, the master did not hide the bribery from me."

"In fact, not only Jiangning, but almost all the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan have contacted you."

"There is one thing I don't know if you have found out."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "What's the matter?"

Li Qiuqiu pursed her lips. From the moment she opened her mouth, she had already betrayed the adults and failed the trust they placed in her.

After all, they have been friends for many years. Li Qiuqiu suppressed the bitterness in her heart and continued to answer: "On the surface, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is organized by the Wan family, the richest merchant in Jiangnan. But in fact, it is the master who hides behind it. The master has absolute control over the Chamber of Commerce. It is because of this that the wealthy merchants keep giving him money."

"Moreover, as far as I know, some of the money of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce comes from unknown sources, and it seems that they have some dealings with the Yan Kingdom royal family."

At this point, Li Qiuqiu paused, looked up at Lu Xiaoxiao, and said hesitantly, "This news was said when the adults were drunk. I happened to be there."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Xi and the other four were instantly shocked.

Even Liu Yu was frightened.

The State of Li and the State of Yan have always been at odds with each other, and the two royal families are even competing with each other. Once one side rises, it will find ways to annex the other. This pattern has been maintained for many years. As a strategist, Liu Yu knows it clearly.

But he never expected that the master he followed wholeheartedly would dare to get involved with the royal family of Yan State! ? ?

If the matter cannot be clarified, it is very likely that you will be charged with treason!

Xie Xi also thought of it.

This is really an unexpected "surprise".

Before Lu Xiaoxiao could ask, Xie Xi spoke first: "You said Shi Weian had contacts with the Yan royal family, do you have any evidence to prove it?"

Lu Xiaoxiao turned around and stared at Xie Xi intently.

[Hmm? Your Highness, are you trying to trick me? Or are you trying to test whether what Li Qiuqiu said is true or not?]

"..."

Xie Xi coughed lightly.

Li Qiuqiu thought about it, and her eyes moved back and forth between Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi, as if she wanted to know who could make the decision.

She doesn't want to die, she wants to live.

"If I tell you everything, will you let me go?"

"If what you say is true, then yes."

Xie Xi said calmly.

If what you said is all lies, then I won’t let you go.

Li Qiuqiu understood and nodded, "Okay, I once saw you receive a letter, it seemed to be a letter sent by the royal family of Yan State."

"Originally, after reading the letter, the master wanted to burn it, but he had to go out for something urgent, so he gave the letter to me and asked me to burn it."

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned, and she turned around and stared at Li Qiuqiu again: "You didn't burn the letter, right?"

"Correct."

Li Qiuqiu smiled and said, "I hid the letter, Your Excellency doesn't know about it."

At that time, she really wanted to obey the adults' orders and burn the letters, but later, for some reason, she hesitated and went against the adults' wishes for the first time and secretly hid the letters.

It was not until today that Li Qiuqiu realized how important the letter was, so important that it could save her life.

Xie Xi: "Then where did you hide the letter?"

Li Qiuqiu: "It's hidden in a very safe place where no one can guess where it is. If you want to get the letter, you have to let me go first."

"Okay, but not now."

Since the letter was hidden in a safe place, Xie Xi was not in a hurry to get the letter. He wanted to know more about Shi Weian from Li Qiuqiu.

"What else do you know about the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Qiuqiu thought for a moment and continued, "The governor of Nanzhou and the governor of Jinzhou are also members of the Chamber of Commerce..."

After listening to Li Qiuqiu's confession, Xie Xi's face suddenly turned cold.

It seems that officials of all ranks serving in Jiangnan are truly united. In order to gain profits, they don't even recognize the three words "parent officials", and have forgotten their original intentions of becoming officials!

Xie Xi closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he could calm down.

He did not deliberately embarrass Li Qiuqiu, "You cannot leave at this moment. You can only leave after this matter is over."

"As for the letters..."

"Are you here to investigate a case?"

Li Qiuqiu suddenly interrupted Xie Xi. She had been with Shi Weian for many years and had seen a lot of things.

Although these people captured her and locked her up for a few days, they did not lynch her. They only learned about Shi Weian's bribery from her.

Then they must be thinking of using these things to deal with Shi Weian.

Shi Weian's official position was not low. If anyone wanted to remove him from the position of Governor-General of Jiangnan, only the emperor could give an order.

Li Qiuqiu guessed that some important person must have sent them here to collect evidence and bring down Shi Weian.

Xie Xi didn't expect Li Qiuqiu to ask this. He was silent for a moment, but Xie Jiu, who was standing behind him, spoke up and scolded him coldly: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. Knowing too much may not be a good thing."

His words made Li Qiuqiu more certain of her guess.

Now that she has betrayed Shi Weian, even if he really lets her go, once Shi Weian knows what she has done, he will definitely not let her go!

For now, she has only one choice, which is to join them in completely destroying Shi Weian.

After thinking it over, Li Qiuqiu said, "I'll tell you where the letter is hidden. After Shi Weian is completely defeated, you can let me go. How about that?"

Xie Jiu's eyes widened, looking at Li Qiuqiu in disbelief, and he sighed softly: "Women are really the most vicious. I didn't expect that you were willing to hand over the letter even though you already knew that we were going to deal with the Governor of Jiangnan."

Xie Xi could probably guess what Li Qiuqiu was doing, it was just to save her life.

Li Qiuqiu calmed down and smiled bitterly: "Since you have already betrayed me, let's do it more thoroughly."

Xie Xi nodded: "As you wish, where is the letter?"

Li Qiuqiu: "It's hidden in the courtyard where I lived before, in my room, sewn into the screen facing the bed."

Xie Jiu and Mu Qing looked at each other quickly and noticed the surprise in each other's eyes at the same time. It was indeed hidden very secretly. If Li Qiuqiu hadn't said it herself, they probably wouldn't have been able to find it.

"Master, I'm going out for a while."

Without waiting for Xie Xi to speak out, Guard Mu Qing took the initiative to speak out.

But everyone present knew that he was thinking of going out to find the letter, so as to avoid any unexpected events.

Xie Xi responded: "You go, be careful."

I don’t know if Shi Weian would deliberately arrange some guards to guard near the villa.

Guard Mu Qing nodded: "Master, rest assured, I will be careful." After all, he still had to bring back a letter for His Highness.

Xie Xi raised his hand: "Go ahead."

After questioning Li Qiuqiu, Lu Xiaoxiao turned her attention to Liu Yu, "Now that Li Qiuqiu has confessed everything, Mr. Liu, do you have anything else to say?"
