Chapter 484 The So-Called Farmer and Snake

Shen Mingyan!

Shen Mingjiao and Cui Lingling looked at each other. Cui Lingling roughly knew what Shen Mingyan had done. She doubted, "Didn't you say you got her to Su Qing's side? Could it be that Su Qing was up to something else?" "

Shen Mingjiao didn't know either, "I searched him and took him to the flower hall."

Front yard flower hall. Shen Mingyan pinched the corners of her clothes nervously. After she really entered Prince Su's Mansion, she began to regret again. Would Shen Mingjiao kill her directly?

But she had no choice, just like Che Dahu said, she and Su Qing were so close, once the capital was really bombed, she would not be able to escape no matter what.

Che Dahu on the side became even more nervous. He rubbed his hands and whispered: "Do you know anyone from Prince Su's Mansion? Otherwise, how could those guards let us in?"

He has been an escort for many years, so he has some knowledge. This is the residence of a first-class prince, and not just anyone can enter it.

While he was thinking, Shen Mingjiao and the others walked in.

Shen Mingjiao sat down at the top position, glanced at the two of them casually, and asked straight to the point: "What's the matter?"

Shen Mingyan lowered her head, not daring to look at her, and quickly told the story.

Everyone in the flower hall was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Cui Lingling blinked in disbelief: "I didn't expect that woman Su Qing to have such ability?"

Then he asked curiously: "Then what cannon is so powerful?"

Shen Mingyan nodded hesitantly. She didn't know what level the big bubble Su Qing made was? Anyway, modern cannons seem to be quite powerful.

Shen Mingjiao was not too surprised. According to Shen Mingyan under hypnosis, Su Qing specialized in making weapons in another time and space. It makes sense that the Jin family donated a large amount of sulfur and saltpeter to the East Palace through Ye Chen's hand when they were in Qingyun County.

She looked at Shen Mingyan, raised her eyebrows and asked, "I wonder what Miss Shen wants when she comes here to tell me this? 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: "The things Su Qing committed involve the safety of the people in the court. I am not a woman who can interfere with it. You are the same. Everything is left to the law."

Shen Mingyan was not killed originally because she, like Su Qing, came from another time and space, and she was afraid that killing people rashly would trigger something beyond the scope of human power.

When Xiao Xue Tuan disappeared, she already knew what was going on with Su Qing and Shen Mingyan through the extra things in her mind, but too many things happened in these days. She never thought of such a person.

Now...she touched her belly and sighed,

Leave everything to the law!

After leaving the flower hall, Cui Lingling was about to leave in a hurry: "I have to report this news to His Majesty."

Shen Mingjiao held her back and said, "It's okay, Your Majesty has made his own decision."

Cui Lingling blinked suspiciously, and then reacted: "You mean, Your Majesty, he already knew about it? Just like the palace changes a few days ago..."

Because she had just given birth and was busy taking care of the child, Nie Gutang was handling all the affairs of the Red Lotus Sect during this period.

Shen Mingjiao: "Absolutely!"

"I guess everything will be settled before the prince's execution."

Cui Lingling puffed up her face angrily: "Nothing else matters, I just want to know when Su Qing will die. This woman is lingering like a fly!"

After saying that, she enthusiastically took Shen Mingjiao's arm and said, "I have nothing to do anyway, why don't we join in the fun."

…

In Luodu City, which is adjacent to the capital, there is a line of people entering the city at the city gate, and the city gate guard stands lazily aside.

Generally, when there are no special orders issued by the superiors, the city gate guards only need to take a look at the people entering the city every day to see if there are any suspicious persons.

In the middle of the queue, a honest-looking farm man drove an oxcart past. After paying the city entrance fee, the city gate guard tapped the oxcart with his chin: "Who is sitting inside?"

The peasant man bent down and replied carefully: "My mother is sick, and I have come to the city to see a doctor."

After saying that, he raised his hand and opened the curtain, and a smell of decay hit his face. I saw a woman with a withered complexion lying on her side inside. People around her couldn't help but sigh when they saw her.

I originally thought that the city gate leader would hold his nose in disgust and let them go.

However, the next moment, seven or eight soldiers in armor came out from nowhere and surrounded the ox cart.

Su Qing couldn't figure it out? Their disguise was obviously perfect, so why were they caught so quickly?

It wasn't until the two of them were twisted together into Dali Temple and she looked at the young man sitting at the top 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 forced to kneel on the ground. Su Qing raised her head and looked directly at Feng Lisheng. She stopped struggling and confessed straightforwardly:

"His Royal Highness Prince Su, just ask whatever you want! Ah Qing must know that I won't say anything."

Feng Lisheng carefully flipped through the files in his hand without raising his head. He just asked the Dali Temple minister quietly: "Have all the people involved in this case been brought?"

Master Chen nodded: "Except for Ye Chen and some of his men, everyone else has been captured."

"Okay, let's start the trial after a cup of tea."

Seeing that Feng Lisheng seemed to pretend she didn't exist, Su Qing bit her lip and said softly: "Your Highness, A Qing has something to say to you alone!"

Feng Lisheng still didn't raise his head. Master Chen frowned and said with a stern face: "The convict Su Shi is an important official place. You are not allowed to make any noise at will."

Su Qing was so humiliated by the phrase "convict wife Su" that she bit her lip almost to blood. A year ago she was still the glorious legitimate daughter of the Su family and was about to marry into the East Palace, but in just one year, she became a Convict wife! How could she be willing to do this?

She shouted to everyone in the hall: "Your Highness, can you spare my life? I can be sent to jail. I am valuable. I can make weapons. I also know many things that are not available in this world. I am actually from..."

However, before she could finish her words, Feng Lisheng closed the file impatiently and coldly ordered the officer beside her: "Stop her mouth."

After receiving the order, the yamen officer casually pulled off the dirty sweat towel that was so dirty that the original color could not be seen, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into Su Qing's mouth. The world suddenly became quiet!

Su Qing shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face... She was disgusted!

My mouth was blocked by an indescribable smell, I couldn't spit it out, I even had to hold back the urge to vomit, it was simply worse than death!

What was unexpected was that Gong Jue kept his head lowered and said nothing. He sent Bai Ruoyun away and took Su Qing away with him. He thought he would leave without any regrets, but his heart seemed to be empty. Let him have no peace,

He attributed all this to guilt, and now that he saw Su Qing being gagged, he subconsciously opened his mouth to help take the blame. After so many years, it seems that it has become instinct to give everything for Su Qing.

However, before he could speak, a yamen servant came to report that Princess Su and the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Lu had arrived.

As soon as he said these words, His Royal Highness Su Wang, who had always looked calm all the time, suddenly stood up, dropped the file and walked out of the hall quickly.

Half an hour later, a beautiful woman walked in with careful support.

Shen Mingjiao called Cui Lingling and sat down at random. She smiled at Mr. Chen and said, "I am an old acquaintance with Su Qing. You don't mind if I watch you. Don't worry! I just want to see it and won't mix it up." And you are trying the case."

Master Chen naturally did not dare to have any objections. Although this was unreasonable, this was not considered a serious trial. The most important thing was that His Highness was here!

When Su Qing saw Shen Mingjiao, her biggest enemy in her life, coming over, her face turned red with anger, her mouth was blocked again, and she almost lost her breath.

Feng Lisheng poured a cup of hot tea for Shen Mingjiao. Seeing that the time was up, he signaled Mr. Chen to start, so the relevant people were brought up one by one. These people had been interrogated for a round before, and those who confessed readily were naturally easy to talk to. Even under torture, they all surrendered obediently.

The scribes who recorded the confessions wrote vigorously. These people were not only related to Su Qing, but most of them were the remaining members of the prince's party.

As time went by, the various relationships and people involved in the plot that the prince had secretly deployed over the years became 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, and it's very hypnotic to listen to.

Cui Lingling listened with great interest. Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but admire him. He was indeed an intelligence officer. Look at his professionalism.

When it was Su Qing and Gong Jue's turn, she finally regained some energy, but to her disappointment, the two of them were very cooperative and confessed honestly without causing any trouble.

There was no other way. Su Qing also wanted to defend herself, but when she saw the smelly sweat towel in the hand of the Yamen servant, she immediately became honest.

Gong Jue wanted to take it all on his own and take the blame for Su.

Without saying a word, Feng Lisheng asked the yamen servant to hold a thick-armed imperial staff on Su Qing's back. If he dared to tell a lie, the imperial staff would hit Su Qing's back. How dare Gong Jue not to recruit someone?

The scribe who was recording the confession put down his pen.

Feng Lisheng asked: "Have all relevant personnel been interrogated?"

The leader of the government officials hesitated and said: "There is another one, I don't know if I want to interrogate her. She is the woman who was rescued in Huaihua Lane at the beginning of yesterday."

Hearing "Sophora Flower Lane", Gong Jue suddenly raised his head.

Feng Lisheng: "Bring it with you!"

Soon a woman with slightly messy hair was brought in, it was Bai Ruoyun.

Behind her were two men who looked like gangsters.

When Shen Mingjiao saw this, all her drowsiness suddenly disappeared. She looked curiously at Bai Ruoyun who was kneeling in the hall, and then she was stunned.

I saw that the woman's face was pale and her eyes were hollow and numb. Not to mention these things, the woman's clothes were messy, and her exposed neck and cheeks were red, swollen and bruised. Many of the people here had been through the incident. One look at it and it was clear that she might have suffered something. What?

Gong Jue also saw it and couldn't help but shrink his pupils. He grew up in a place like that. No one knows what these marks mean better than him.

He clenched his fingers and looked at Wang Mazi and the two of them suddenly.

Catching his gaze, the two of them lowered their heads guiltily. This reaction was almost self-inflicted.

Gong Jue's eyes trembled, subconsciously unwilling to accept such a cruel fact, but couldn't help but look at Bai Ruoyun.

Bai Ruoyun didn't look at him, and described the cause and effect in a hoarse voice calmly. From the time she was rescued by Gong Jue seven years ago and had been raised as Su Qing's substitute, to last night when Gong Jue asked her to die in Su Qing's place, until Wang Mazi and Wang Mazi's heart broke. He was malicious and misbehaved with her, but was rescued by the yamen who arrived in time on the way.

Even so, she was still innocent.

Her voice fell, and the hall fell silent for a moment. Shen Mingjiao was shocked by this plot that could only appear in sadistic novels. My fist became harder unconsciously.

Cui Lingling angrily kicked Wang Mazi and the two to the ground.

With the bloody truth in front of him, Gong Jue could no longer escape. He clenched his fists and stared at Wang Mazi and the two of them, gritting his teeth and saying bitterly:

"Why?

talk! Why do you do that to her! "

Tiedan buried his head deeply. Wang Mazi knew that he was doomed, so he pinched his neck and said:

"Can you blame us? You didn't want her in the first place. This woman has been with you for six or seven years and has served you with all her heart. You can't even see her.

The brothers are teasing you, why don't you just take her in? You said it yourself, she is just a decoration!

Since you don't care about it yourself and want to let her die, what's wrong with you guys? "

Gong Jue was suddenly startled and opened his mouth to shout angrily, but was speechless for a moment. He turned around to look at Bai Ruoyun and whispered, "I'm sorry! I didn't know it would be like this..."

Bai Ruoyun met his gaze blankly, and only said: "Gong Jue, we are inseparable. You saved my life, and I also saved yours. Everything you have given me shelter in the past seven years has disappeared yesterday." It’s too late to pay off,”

She took a breath, turned her head and stopped looking at him. Her voice was as soft as 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 chest that was so painful that he was suffocating, but his hands were already shackled.

Shen Mingjiao couldn't stand it anymore and taunted her: "Since you abandoned her first, who are you pretending to be so affectionate for now?"

Cui Lingling was also very angry: "What kind of love is there for a person like you? Just die with your goddess Su Qing!"

Gong Jue didn't know where he was being poked, or because he was eager to prove something to himself, he couldn't help but retort:

"What do you know? Ah Qing is the light in my life! She was the only person who gave me warmth when I was young!"

Cui Lingling was speechless: "What a great love. This light will shine on you all your life, right?"

Shen Mingjiao asked someone to move a chair for Bai Ruoyun to sit down. She stared at Gong Jue and mocked rudely:

"I know, I know, when you were a little beggar and about to starve to death, Su Qing gave you a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. From then on, you believed in Su Qing and were devoted to her!"

"But you never thought that with Su Qing's vicious character, she would be so kind to give out cakes to a little beggar who is of no use to her!"

After speaking, her sharp eyes saw a trace of panic flashing across Su Qing's eyes. Shen Mingjiao was a little surprised. In fact, when she said this, she just wanted to express her disapproval to Gong Jue and didn't think too much about it.

After learning that Su Qing was a time-travelling woman, she naturally thought that 80% of the osmanthus cake given to Gong Jue was the original owner of Su Qing's body. But if this was the case, Su Qing did not need to panic at all.

Could it be that there is some hidden secret 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 false?"

Su Qing put away the panic in her eyes and lowered her head in grievance: "Let them say whatever they want, anyway, you and I are going to die soon!"

Shen Mingjiao was really impatient to watch Bai Lianhua's performance, so she said directly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Gong Jue, you should know that I have learned a few tricks. You can tell the truth and lies at a glance!"

Of course she was talking about hypnosis, and now Su Qing has lost her so-called luck as a heroine. It is not difficult to be hypnotized,

Worrying about the presence of so many people, she concealed herself and took out a jade pendant from her waist, waved it in front of Su Qing, and took advantage of the gap to stare into his eyes.

Realizing what she was going to do? Su Qing closed her eyes subconsciously,

Maybe it's because she stayed in that cave, or maybe it's because of what Yi Lin did in the distant space and time. Shen Mingjiao's hypnosis is now much more sophisticated than before, and she doesn't necessarily have to stare into people's eyes.

A halo shrouded in fog appears in the mind, which indirectly indicates that the hypnotized person is not mentally healthy.

No matter how reluctant Su Qing was, driven by Shen Mingjiao's eyes, her figure gradually became sluggish.

Shen Mingjiao asked her: "Did you ever give Gong Jue osmanthus cake when you were a child?"

"…No."

Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Gong Jue subconsciously, and saw that the face of the young man who was holding his neck stiffened.

Shen Mingjiao asked again: "Then do you know who sent the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Gong Jue? Tell me the specific details!"

"It's...Bai Ruoyun!"

After the words fell, the whole hall was silent, and everyone looked at the woman sitting next to him in a disheveled shirt.

Bai Ruoyun was obviously confused and raised his head blankly.

Gong Jue's face turned completely pale.

He even wanted to interrupt the conversation between the two at all costs and continue to maintain the illusion. He was unwilling and did not dare to accept the worst possibility, which would make him completely crazy!

But it was obvious that this was no longer something he could stop. Su Qing's dull voice sounded in his ears:

"...I went to the Bai Mansion that day. Because Bai Ruoyun and I were about the same height, my aunt made two identical skirts. My cousin took us to the west of the city to see the newly arrived sweaty BMWs. I thought it was too dirty, so I went with one People are sitting in carriages.

The maid took Bai Ruoyun to buy a windmill. Bai Ruoyun came back and said that she met a little beggar who was about to starve to death on the street corner and felt that he was so pitiful. He also wanted to send the person to the hospital, but was stopped by the maid, so Bai Ruoyun gave the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made in the house that morning to the little beggar, who must be Gong Jue.

Three years later, I was frightened by a horse in the street and was rescued by a young man. 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 had some ability, so I didn't deny it. "

As her words fell, the whole hall fell silent again. Cui Lingling looked at the three people at the center of the topic and said with unspeakable emotion: "Hey! What the hell is this!"

The down-and-out boy met a kind-hearted rich lady when he was at his most desperate and dark. The rich girl smiled and encouraged him and gave him the only warmth she had. The young man gradually became stronger and vowed to protect the rich lady who had given him warmth for the rest of his life.

During this 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 substitute is as humble as dust. In the end, the substitute is allowed to die for the safety of the rich lady.

However, the truth is revealed. It turns out that the substitute he regarded as dust is actually the rich lady who gave him warmth back then!

Cui Lingling scratched her hair, and for a moment she didn't know who of the two was more pitiable.

Bai Ruoyun blinked blankly and looked at Gong Jue, whose face was as pale as paper. She frowned and tried to remember that she had done many similar things when she was a child.

There was nothing wrong at home at that time. Her brothers loved her and often took her to play on 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 home. Her parents It took me a few training sessions to calm down a bit.

However, when Su Qing said this, she had a vague impression. He seemed to be a very thin young boy. His face was so dirty that he couldn't see his facial features. She couldn't remember exactly what he said.

But I never thought that it would turn out like this in the end!

Good night, as expected, Su Qing will be offline tomorrow**
