Datang traitor

"I don't know what you're talking about!" When Wang Zhengde came to his senses, he took his eyes off Qin Yuan and stared at the ground.

His tone was a little excited, and he was obviously eager to defend himself, which betrayed his true thoughts.

"This is a big man that everyone knows. Normal people would be surprised how I can say it, but you pretend to be confused and say you don't know what I said." Qin Yuan asked Wang Zhengde if he was poked in his mind, so he avoided it on purpose .

Wang Zhengde did not argue, his eyes were still fixed on the ground, but his hands pressing the ground were exerting force.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, we already know where to look, and the matter will be found out soon." Qin Yuan got up and walked outside the prison door, and the jailer immediately locked the door.

At this time, Wang Zhengde suddenly raised his head and asked Qin Yuan: "Who are you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Qin Yuan returned the same words to Wang Zhengde.

"Who the hell are you?" Seeing that Qin Yuan was about to leave, Wang Zhengde shouted again, louder.

"If you are willing to tell me who you are first, I will tell you who I am." Qin Yuan knew that Wang Zhengde would not confess, so he just finished speaking and walked on.

Wang Zhengde looked at Qin Yuan's back and kept looking.In the end, Qin Yuan's figure had disappeared, but he was still watching.

After Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo discussed how to arrange the next step of the case, they went home to say goodbye.

When Qin Yuan got home, he saw Fang Ding guarding his door, holding a food box in his hand.

Fang Ding lost a lot of weight.

When Qin Yuan saw him, he was taken aback.Time flies, more than a month ago he was still getting used to how to be an official in Hongwen Hall, and now he is doing smoothly in Yongzhou Mansion.

Since Fang Ding's family was poisoned by Gu poison last time, Qin Yuan's contact with Fang Ding has become less.Qin Yuan always felt that Fang Ding's family was hurt because of himself, and he was ashamed to face it.

When Fang Ding saw Qin Yuan, he warmly greeted him.

Qin Yuan got off the horse, apologized to him, and explained that he hadn't contacted him because he was busy.

Fang Ding smiled and said: "I know, I know, although you are not an official in Hongwenguan now, everything you do has been widely rumored in Hongwenguan recently. Do you know that many officials talk about you behind their backs and envy you, You're a big shot."

Fang Ding also told Qin Yuan that Sun Yishan and others who bullied and despised Qin Yuan in the Hongwen Museum back then regretted not having a good relationship with Qin Yuan.

"I was worried all day that you would retaliate against them. Yesterday Sun Yishan came to me specially, and wanted me to get a line to ask you, would you like to accept his apology and let him buy you a drink?" Fang Ding said, He handed the food box in his hand to Qin Yuan, and told Qin Yuan that it was her wife's handicraft, some snacks.

Qin Yuan hurriedly invited Fang Ding into the room. After Qin Yuan brought out the snacks in the food box, he asked Fang Ding to wait a while, and then went to the kitchen with the food box.

He filled a food box with dried dates that had been sun-dried on the farm, and brought them back to Fang Ding.

Fang Ding saw that the jujube was a good thing, and took out one to taste. The skin was thin, the meat was thick and the core was small, it could be said to be the best among dried dates.

"Recently, there is a big case waiting for me to investigate in Yongzhou Mansion. The eldest grandson is urging me every day. It is really inconvenient to drink alcohol. Help me tell Sun Yishan, who remembers who is the bastard about the little things in the past, let him rest assured, I have long forgotten .”

Although Qin Yuan rejected Sun Yishan's request for a drink, he spoke very sincerely, without putting on airs at all, and anyone who heard it felt at ease.

Fang Ding responded with a smile, the purpose of his coming today was to make peace, and Qin Yuan's response had already given him enough face.

Fang Ding immediately looked at the environment in Qin Yuan's house, and asked Qin Yuan if he had any plans to change houses.

"You are a seventh-rank official now. The house of a seventh-rank official is several times larger than yours, and there are countless servants in the family. You are lucky, living in a simple and simple way, with only one person." Fang Ding sighed.

"I've only rented this house for a short time, so I'm too lazy to change it."

"You have received the grace, and you have reached the seventh rank, but you still live in such a house. How can those officials whose rank is lower than you, but whose residence is only bigger than you, deal with themselves? If the sage uses you as an example to praise, your 'Extraordinary' will make you a target."

Qin Yuan felt that Fang Ding's words made sense.He is like a red bean popping out of a pot of soybeans, because it is different, most people will find it an eyesore, and subconsciously want to pick him out as a red bean.

However, Qin Yuan is not too worried about this aspect. Li Shimin is a wise king, and his subordinates are all famous ministers, most of them are very generous.And with his current popularity, he will not be reduced to the end of being kicked out.

"Thank you for reminding me. I didn't think about this aspect, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

Afterwards, Qin Yuan insisted on sending Fang Ding home, and only after confirming that he had entered the house safely did Qin Yuan leave.He stopped by the dim sum shop and left some dried dates in the dim sum shop.

……

At dusk four days later, it was the seventh day of Qin Qiong's death.

Qin Yuan arrived at Bieyuan on time.

After Qin Qiong's guards saw Qin Yuan, they rushed to salute and told Qin Yuan that everything was safe during this period and no one disturbed him.

Qin Yuan checked the sealing wax on the doors and windows, and there was indeed no sign of damage.Qin Yuan ordered the guards to go to the kitchen to boil some hot water and prepare the bath buckets of grapefruit leaves and so on.

After sending everyone away, Qin Yuan entered the house and closed the door.

He first lit the candles in the room, checked carefully in the room, and after confirming that there was no one else, he laboriously moved Qin Qiong out from under the bed.

Qin Qiong is too big!

Qin Yuan was too lazy to carry him to bed, so he simply revived Qin Qiong on the ground.

Qin Yuan took out a small cloth bag from his arms, unfolded the cloth bag, and there were silver needles stuck in it.Qin Yuan pricked his finger with a needle and dripped blood on Qin Qiong's lips.After reciting the soul-returning curse three times, Qin Yuan grabbed a handful of jujubes from the farm today and ate them, checking Qin Qiong's condition while eating.

When Qin Yuan collected a handful of date stones, Qin Qiong finally woke up.

Qin Yuan hurried to help Qin Qiong who just woke up and was still a little dazed.

"What's wrong with me? Why am I lying on the ground?" Qin Qiong looked at Qin Yuan blankly.

"Think about it carefully." Qin Yuan guided.

With Qin Yuan's support, Qin Qiong slowly sat on the bed, "I was sick and coughed up blood, and then you said you took me to Bieyuan for treatment, but before the place arrived, I vomited a lot of blood in the car ...You are heartless, you said you want to cure my illness, but you just watched me vomit blood!"

Qin Qiong suddenly grabbed Qin Yuan by the collar, stared and scolded Qin Yuan for being indifferent and unscrupulous.

"Ahem..." Qin Yuan was so strangled that he couldn't wear it, he slapped Qin Qiong's hand hard, and scolded him to let go, "If I was unscrupulous, would you grab my clothes and scold me so vigorously now?"

Qin Qiong suddenly realized, let go of his hand immediately, then pressed his hand on his chest, and deliberately coughed twice.Qin Qiong looked at Qin Yuan in surprise, then grabbed Qin Yuan's shoulder with both hands excitedly, laughed and shook Qin Yuan's shoulder.

"I'm alright? Alright?"

Qin Yuan was shaken so nauseated that he raised his hand and slapped the date stone on Qin Qiong's face.

"Are you finished? Just shake it!" Qin Yuan shouted.

Qin Qiong withdrew her hand in embarrassment, then glanced carefully at Qin Yuan, laughed, and thanked Qin Yuan again for saving her life in a slightly less excited tone.

"It's been seven days, and it's hard to get rid of the poison on your body." Qin Yuan deliberately wiped his sweatless forehead with his sleeve, acting as if he was so tired and tired because of treating Qin Qiong.

"Thank you very much." Qin Qiong asked Qin Yuan what kind of poison he was poisoned, and how Qin Yuan detoxified himself.

Qin Yuan: "Someone messed with your hair, made you a villain, and pricked your lungs with a poisonous needle, and you are useless. As for the detoxification method, it is very troublesome anyway, and you don't understand it."

Qin Yuan motioned Qin Qiong to look at the silver needles on the ground.

Qin Qiong not only saw the silver needles, but also the wormwood and date stones scattered all over the ground...the combination of these things looked quite profound, and he really couldn't understand it as a warrior.Anyway, now that he is alive, Qin Yuan saved him, that's enough.

Qin Qiong immediately bowed to Qin Yuan, feeling that she owed him another life.

"Just remember the kindness, and you must repay it!" Qin Yuan said.

Qin Qiong swore for sure, and then he found that there was a little red on the belly of Qin Yuan's right finger.Qin Qiong immediately grabbed Qin Yuan Qin Yuan's hand, and found that it was a needle hole and there was still blood left.

"What's going on?" Qin Qiong asked.

"It's not that I'm stupid! When I gave you the needle, I pricked my own finger!" Qin Yuan suddenly noticed that Qin Qiong was looking at him wrongly, and shouted outside to quickly bring hot water in, scolded Qin Qiong for being too stinky, and advised him Take a shower quickly.

Qin Qiong quit, and shouted to the outside with bright eyes: "Prepare two bowls of wine! It's just right, I will be sworn brothers with you!"

"Breakdown!" Qin Yuan got up and ran.

Qin Qiong wanted to chase after him, but when his subordinates brought hot water in, he felt that the smell in the room was not right.Qin Qiong sniffed his sleeve, he seemed to be smelly, so take a bath first.

When Qin Yuan came out, it was already dark.Qin Yuan didn't dare to delay, and rode back directly to Yongzhou Mansion.He has been guarding Yongzhou mansion day and night for the past few days, but today he had to come out because of Qin Qiong's affairs.

When Qin Yuan returned to Yongzhou Mansion, Yongzhou Mansion was already in chaos.

Wen Yanbo hurriedly told Qin Yuan that Yongzhou Mansion had just been attacked.

"Suddenly there are more than a dozen people lying in wait at this moment, all of them are very skilled. We, four or five of us, can't beat one!"

"Where's the archer ambush on the roof?" Qin Yuan asked.

"Fortunately, we were well prepared and shot two of them, but the others escaped." Wen Yanbo said with emotion, "I thought that as long as someone came, they would definitely not be able to escape the trap I arranged, alas, I never expected... "

Seeing the blood on the floor tiles, Qin Yuan frowned and asked Wen Yanbo where these assassins appeared just now.

"It's right here, outside the main hall."

Qin Yuan immediately ran to the cell.

Wen Yanbo hurriedly said to Qin Yuan: "After the assassin's sneak attack, I have checked. Wang Zhengde is fine and still in prison. Don't worry, we have more people in ambushes inside and outside our cell. Even if these assassins are skilled, they can't succeed."

After listening to Wen Yanbo's words, Qin Yuan was not at ease, and ordered: "No one is allowed to leave the mansion, guard all exits, and surround the entire mansion. Whoever wants to leave the mansion, be detained immediately."

Before entering the prison, Qin Yuan asked the jailer who had just come out: "How is Wang Zhengde doing now?"

"Just after eating, he lay on the ground and fell asleep. I really don't know if he is serious or not." The jailer sneered.

Qin Yuan went into the cell to check, and Wang Zhengde was indeed lying on the ground, with his back facing the direction of the cell door, and lying on his side facing the wall.Qin Yuan walked to the prison door and found that Wang Zhengde was motionless.He yelled, but he still didn't move.

Qin Yuan immediately ordered the jailer to open the cell door and found that Wang Zhengde was dead.Hidden under his arm is a little figure made of straw. Judging from the color of the straw, it is similar to the straw that is spread on the floor of the prison cell.A strand of hair was wrapped around the straw man's neck, and a silver needle pierced through the upper side of the head, corresponding to Wang Zhengde's temples on both sides, with a red spot on it.

"People, people died?" Wen Yanbo exclaimed, completely unexpected.

"Catch the food delivery person!" Qin Yuan shouted.

After a stick of incense, there were three people kneeling on the court of Yongzhou Mansion.

Two of them were assassins who had just broken into Yongzhou Mansion, one had a sword wound on his thigh and the other had a sword wound on his shoulder.The other was also an assassin, but he was disguised as the old man Tian who delivered the food.They don't look exactly alike, just a similar outfit with hair and beard.But because of the sneak attack on the side of the main hall just now, which attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion, and the night was dark, no one noticed that the old man Tian who was carrying the bucket with his head down to deliver food to the prison had changed.The old man Tian who actually delivered the meal was knocked unconscious in the firewood room.

"Who is your master?" Qin Yuan knew that if he asked, he might ask for nothing, but he had to ask.

The three assassins all looked blank, ignoring Qin Yuan's question.

Qin Yuan sighed and stopped talking.

Wen Yanbo was not reconciled, he questioned sharply several times, slapped the table, yelled and yelled, and tried to scare him with torture, but the three assassins were like logs, they didn't respond, and they didn't have the slightest intention to say anything.

Wen Yanbo was so angry that he sat down next to Qin Yuan, and asked him in a low voice: "You've been idling around for so long, did you think of any useful solutions?"

Qin Yuan shook his head.

Wen Yanbo was puzzled: "Then why are you sitting here? Why don't you interrogate them for me? Shall we use severe punishment?"

"It's useless, they dare not say it." Qin Yuan sighed.

Wen Yanbo raised his eyebrows, and looked at Qin Yuan in surprise: "Did you know who it was?"

"Guess." Qin Yuan rested his chin and said worriedly, "It's still a guess until now. It's just that after seeing them, my [-]% possible guess has become [-]%."

"Then just say who the [-]% guess is?" Wen Yanbo kept his voice to a minimum, because he also knew that this person's identity was very important.

Qin Yuan turned his eyes slowly, and met Wen Yanbo's eyes, "If I really told you, I'm afraid you will regret it immediately."

Wen Yanbo is also a smart person, he was taken aback for a moment, because Qin Yuan's words made him immediately think of someone.When he met Qin Yuanjin's eyes again, Qin Yuan gave him a positive look.Obviously Qin Yuan guessed what he was thinking from his shocked eyes.

"Oh my god."

Wen Yanbo took a breath slowly, and then looked at the three assassins kneeling on the ground, feeling flustered in his heart.

Wen Yanbo didn't dare to say anything, so he got closer to Qin Yuan and murmured how to deal with the three assassins.

Qin Yuan shook his head.

If there is a serious trial, I am afraid of accidents; if there is no trial, there is no way to be sure.This is a dilemma.

"Where are you Qin joining the army?" Qin Qiong's hearty shout suddenly came from outside the door.

Wen Yanbo was overjoyed, "General Qin's poison has been cured? Why didn't you tell me?"

Qin Yuan said calmly: "It's not too late, things happen one after another."

Qin Yuan raised his hand, accidentally saw his bloody fingertips, suddenly got up and tried to hide.He wanted to go to the inner room, jumped out the back window and ran.However, Qin Qiong stepped into the court first, shouted when he saw Qin Yuan, and rushed over in two or three steps, blaming Qin Yuan for leaving without saying goodbye, which made him worry for a long time.Qin Qiong is going to drag Qin Yuan to worship.

"Adjudicating the case, you are disrupting the order of the court!" Qin Yuan pretended to be serious.

Qin Qiong laughed and asked what the case was, maybe he could help.Qin Qiong immediately scanned the situation in the hall, and his gaze was fixed on one of the square-faced assassins.The square-faced assassin lowered his head as much as possible at this moment, as if deliberately avoiding Qin Qiong.

"What's going on?" Qin Qiong asked Qin Yuan in surprise.

Qin Yuan didn't reply.

Wen Yanbo explained to Qin Qiong how the Yongzhou Mansion was attacked.

Qin Qiong stared wide-eyed, continued to stare at the square-faced assassin before, with a look of disbelief, and said loudly: "It's so possible, he is—"

Qin Yuan immediately covered Qin Qiong's mouth with his hand, and warned him not to talk nonsense with his eyes.

When Qin Qiong came to his senses, he blinked clearly.

Qin Yuan ordered people to take the three assassins down first, and find a doctor to bandage the wound.Then all the idlers in the hall were sent away, leaving only himself, Qin Qiong and Wen Yanbo in the room.

Now that Qin Qiong fully realized the seriousness of the matter, she frowned and asked them what was going on.

"Why, uh, the people around you will come to your Yongzhou Mansion to assassinate?"

"This is complicated." Qin Yuan asked Qin Qiong to tell him first if he knew the square-faced assassin.

"Of course I know him. He used to be one of my subordinates. Because of his skill, he was selected to join..." Qin Qiong suddenly became cautious, his eyes rolled uneasily, and asked Qin Yuan if he could say something.

Wen Yanbo was so anxious that he almost broke out in sweat, staring at Qin Qiong's mouth, wishing he could pick out the words he swallowed just now.

Qin Yuan: "This is only the three of us, of course we can talk."

"Yes—" Qin Qiong coughed twice and got stuck again.

Both Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo were choked by Qin Qiong, and urged him to speak quickly.

"I have to keep my voice down," Qin Qiong looked around cautiously, and asked Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo, "Do you think there will be rats eavesdropping in this room?"

"Yes, the person who understands the mouse language is dead, and no one knows what the mouse heard!" Qin Yuan gritted his teeth and warned Qin Qiong if he did this again, he would kick him out.

"Later, he was selected into the Taiji Palace as a guard, and then he was promoted to the guard in front of the Liangyi Hall. Later, he followed the Supreme Emperor to the Da'an Palace." Qin Qiong finished explaining in a low voice, moving her eyes to look at the two of them. people.

Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo glanced at each other, and the speculation that had been hanging in their hearts was finally confirmed at this moment.But after the truth came to light, how to report this matter and how to end it became Qin Yuan's heartache again.

If the timing is wrong, if the wording is inappropriate, and Li Shimin is moved to kill his father in anger, then this history will be completely changed.
