Chapter 62 The Truth
Zeng Pan covered his sleeves that were shot by six arrows, widened his eyes and gasped: "It's true that he was a cunning man. He actually set up a hidden weapon inside. He suspected that he should have dug up a secret passage inside. If he couldn't get in, we couldn't find out. We might not be able to attack. It's probably not feasible."
The palace covers a large area and needs to dig a secret passage below. Unless someone who participated in the design and excavation is found, Qiu Zhuo escaped and where will they find someone?
Ning Chengyun's face was a little gloomy, and he walked up the steps, pulled the bow and shot the arrow, but his arrow was knocked out before he could get close to Qiu Zhuo. Obviously, there were masters lurking in the hall.
Ning Chengyun glanced sharply, pursed her lips and stepped back. She walked ninety-nine in a hundred steps, but was stuck in the last step. Who knows this kind of mood?
After seeing the ability of Tang Ning and his wife, Zeng Pan suggested to Ning Chengyun: "Young Master, I think the best way now is to order people to guard the palace and the entire Xijing, and then summon Mr. Qiu and Commander Tang. These two people must have a way."
Ning Chengyun's forehead veins burst out and he glanced at Zeng Cang coldly, "Are you here to make fun of it? Do you know what distant water cannot relieve near thirst? One of them is far away in Ganzhou and the other is far away in Jiangnan. When they come, the daylily will be cold."
At this moment, the soldiers quickly ran over to report: "Young Master, Mr. Qiu is here."
Ning Chengyun's eyes suddenly widened, and without asking more questions, he directly asked Qiu Jingming to come.
After Qiu Jingming gave his salute, he first presented a good news, "Young Master, General Zhao has brought people back to Suzhou and drove the Liao bandits out of the pass. The Liao soldiers were seriously injured and dared not commit again in a short period of time."
"Okay!" Ning Chengyun was overjoyed, helped Qiu Jingming up, patted his shoulder with relief, and said, "Thanks to you, when you take Qiu Zhuo down, I will definitely reward you!"
Zeng Pan said anxiously: "Young Master, Mr. Qiu is here, so we should hurry up."
As he said that, Zeng Pan pointed to the main hall and told Qiu Jingming about the incident. He frowned and irritated, "The cunning rabbit has three holes, I see that he wishes to dig out the palace full of holes!"
Qiu Jingming pondered for a moment, walked forward with a smile, and said, "Young Master borrowed me some high-quality guards to protect me, I'll try it."
Everyone didn't know what Qiu Jingming was selling in the gourd, so they looked at him curiously, but saw that he slowly climbed the steps and looked at Qiu Zhuo with his eyes drifting through the hall door.
One has a desire for power and calculating eyes, while the other is as calm as water, like a clear spring in the mountains, without any impurities.
This is a strange face, Qiu Zhuo is sure that he has never seen the person in front of him.
The two of them stood in a distance and stood for a long time. After about two hours, Qiu Zhuo squinted his eyes and spoke slowly, his voice hoarse, "Who are you?"
Qiu Jingming curled the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "A insignificant person."
"What? Do you think I can kill me like this? You are too underestimating me!" Qiu Zhuo smiled evilly.
Qiu Jingming shook his head and sighed, "I originally wanted to talk to you about Miss Qiu and Qiu Zonglie. It seems that you are not interested, so forget it."
As he said that, Qiu Jingming turned his head very regretfully and slowly walked down the steps.
Mrs. Qiu, who had always been like a wooden man, stood up excitedly at this moment, "Stop, make it clear!"
Qiu Zhuo shouted, "Madam, the other party is obviously coaxing us, don't be fooled!"
Mrs. Qiu waited for her eyes to look at Qiu Zhuo, and then looked at Qiu Jingming, who was sitting on the steps outside the hall, who could hardly see her figure. She struggled in her heart. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and left Qiu Zhuo's hand and said, "Master, stay here well. I want to go out and ask clearly. Even if I die, I will die clearly. This is what I owe to two children!"
"Madam!" Qiu Zhuo roared.
But Mrs. Qiu rushed out regardless of the matter.
Qiu Jingming was not surprised at all, but said, "It's not enough to exchange for such a big secret!"
Mrs. Qiu's hand holding the door frame tightened, and her expression became a little vicious, "Do you fuck me?"
Qiu Jingming's expression remained unchanged, with a gentle smile on his face, and shook his head, "If I lied to you, it would be impossible to die if I hit you with thunder! But if you want to know the secret, let Qiu Zhuo come out to exchange it together."
Mrs. Qiu looked stunned and stared at Qiu Jingming. Seeing him with sincerity and making a poisonous oath in front of so many people, she probably really knew how her children died.
After several struggles in her heart, she turned to look at Qiu Zhuo, her eyes full of madness, "Master, I have never asked you for anything in my life, and I even endured humiliation for the Qiu family. Now there is a chance to prove my innocence. Can I fulfill my integrity and justify my reputation!"
Ever since her children died inexplicably, it has been reported inside and outside the mansion that she is an unknown person. Her children have committed too many sins and were targeted by ghosts and gods and lost their lives.
As soon as her son died, she also went from being arrogant and mistress of the Qiu family to a deep-loving housewife who was out of favor. Qiu Zhuo was very cold to her. It was just to create the illusion that she valued love and friendship that made her sit in the position of this wife all the time. No one cares what she was thinking, and no one cares about what her reputation had been destroyed.
Others may not care, but she cannot ignore it. And her poor children, who are gone but will be slandered. Why?
The more Mrs. Qiu thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She gritted her teeth and stared at Qiu Zhuo resentfully.
Qiu Zhuo also had a gray face and patted the dragon throne with anger, "Why are you crazy? You believe that nameless person says! You just make a false oath, and you believe it, it's so stupid!"
Mrs. Qiu pursed her lips, as if she knew that Qiu Zhuo could not help her, so she turned to look at Qiu Jingming, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She slowly walked to Qiu Jingming and said, "I can do nothing if he doesn't cooperate, but I can exchange it with you."
"Oh? What are you going to exchange for me?" Qiu Jingming raised his eyebrows and stood up leisurely and asked.
Mrs. Qiu took out a map from her arms and said, "This is a layout diagram of the underground secret passage of the palace. I took great effort to get it."
Qiu Jingming was going to get it, but Mrs. Qiu avoided it, "How did my son and daughter die?"
Qiu Jingming frowned and asked with a serious expression: "How do I know if this picture is true or false?"
Mrs. Qiu also simply divided the picture into two and gave part of Qiu Jingming, "Is this OK?"
Qiu Jingming got half a map and immediately handed it over to Ning Chengyun.
Zeng Pan was very conscious of taking people to verify.
He soon returned and said, "It really is."
Qiu Jingming saw Mrs. Qiu’s eyes were a little complicated, and frowned and said slowly: “Talking about Miss Qiu first, there is actually no saying of ghosts and gods, but it’s just a move first.
When Ms. Qiu was in Tongshui Town, she stared at a girl because of silk soap. The girl didn't want to cause trouble, but Ms. Qiu bullied others with her power and even made harsh words.
The girl was worried and followed her up the window of Yunlai Inn and happened to hear the evil idea of her good maid Pipa."
