327. Uncle Qing
Three days later, Qinglei and his men arrived at Qingyang City.
Ji Murong was arranged by Ji Yang to live in Botanicun City, separated by a mountain, but his women and children were hidden well in Qingyang City, and no clues were found before.
Now, in order to survive, Ji Murong has "selled" his son and told the exact address, so Qinglei's goal for this trip is very clear.
But as soon as he arrived at the Qingyang City Tavern, Qing Lei had not yet gone to find Ji Murong's son, but first received news that the wealthy businessman Feng's family had been destroyed.
Qing Lei looked shocked, "When did it happen?"
It was half a month ago that Qing Lei felt a little sad. He knew that the Feng family was because the Rong Yuanfeng found by Su Mo was Lin Song from Qingyang City, and Lin Song and Feng Jinbao, the third son of the Feng family, were rivals. Feng Jinbao wanted to take away the love with his sword, but when he learned that Bai Lan was determined, he gave up readily.
There is another thing about Feng Jinbao. He claimed to be Duan Yunhe's friend and left for Dongming before.
When Qing Lei left the house, Duan Rong's grandson had not yet returned and he had not met him on the way. He did not know that Feng Jinbao was in Wan'an City at this moment, so he did not know if he was among the people killed by the Feng family.
And this matter was just that the Feng family offended some extremely vicious people, or because of other things? Qing Lei didn't know, but first sent two masters to investigate and see what the Feng family was going on. He did not delay and took people to the place where Ji Murong said.
It is a villa in the south of Qingyang City. This villa is under the name of the Wei family, but Wei He didn't know about it when he bought it by Qingmei.
Qing Mei knew from the beginning that Ji Ming had a son older than her. Although Ji Ming never said that Ji Murong's mother was a woman he recruited with a look similar to Rong Lan, she only said that she was the concubine whom his mother arranged to serve him during her lifetime and had long been dead.
Therefore, the young Qingmei once really wanted to be the queen grandmother for Ji Murong's son. If Qingjue was alive, he would be angry to death when he saw his only baby daughter being sucked by blood.
Now that Qing Mei is dead, the villa is still as quiet as before.
Qing Lei approached secretly and found someone walking in the other courtyard, and breathed a sigh of relief. If something happened, there should be no one.
There is also a confidant arranged by Ji Yangqian here. The only task is to look at Ji Murong's wife and children and ignore everything else. Therefore, although Ji Yangqian and Ji Murong and his son have both disappeared for a while, this place is still the same.
That's great.
Originally, Qinglei's only task was to find Ji Murong's son, but three days ago found that Yao Yuan was in trouble. When he came here, he found that the Feng family had been destroyed. These two families have more or less related to the Rong family. Since they met, they could not ignore it.
Therefore, Qinglei hopes that his main task will be completed smoothly and then deal with other things. Whether it is really related to the Rong family, it must be found out. After all, the Rong family’s next plan is to unify the world. Once a person who makes trouble in the dark emerges, it must be solved. Qinglei does not want any enemy to cause trouble in secret, which will cause Su Mo to leave Yuanqiu at this time.
Especially Yao Yuan, he is the nominal emperor of the Western Liao Dynasty today, and the troubles he encounters must not be underestimated.
The masters brought by Qing Lei were guarding all directions of the villa, and he sneaked into the villa secretly.
From the outside, the inconspicuous place is luxurious everywhere. According to Ji Murong, it is all arranged by Qing Mei.
Qing Lei followed an old lady, approached the main yard, hid in the dark and listened for a while, and the sound of someone talking was faintly heard, and then the child cried.
Qinglei felt relieved and found it.
Although Qinglei's masters are very powerful, in order to avoid escaping, Qinglei chose to use poison according to Yuan Qiu's instructions, so it is safer.
Before lunch, Qinglei personally poured a packet of Yuanqiu's special medicine powder into the water tank in the kitchen of the other yard. It was just a pill, which had excellent efficacy, but it would not cause any harm to the body.
After lunch, half an hour later, the entire courtyard became completely quiet.
Qing Lei walked into the main courtyard and saw the door open. The old lady fell at the door. He stepped over and saw a beautiful young woman standing upside the table, and a boy about three years old was lying on the bed.
Looking at the boy's eyebrows and eyes, you know that this must be Ji Murong's own son. Because Ji Yangqian found the woman who gave birth to him and Rong Lan looked similar to that of Rong's family, Ji Murong's eyebrows and eyes looked quite similar to Rong's family, and so was this child.
Qinglei sighed and touched the child's pulse. It was fine. From the child's appearance, he could not see Ji Yang's shadow. Qinglei thought it was a good thing.
"The person has been dealt with." An old man appeared at the door. What he said was Ji Yang's confidant subordinate, who was responsible for being a guard here. The reason why he did not choose to recruit was because this person followed Ji Yang for many years was not the one left by Qing Jue for Qing Mei, and it was easy to become a disaster.
Qinglei opened the wardrobe and packed a big bag for Ji Murong's wife and children, and asked someone to take them away. As for the other servants, they would wake up before dark and find that their master was missing, so they would find another way out. There are many valuable things in this villa. As long as you don't be too greedy, you can live with anything.
Ji Murong's woman was named Situ Ying, and she was also one of Qing Jue's apprentices. She brought it back from somewhere and grew up with Qing Mei since she was a child. She became his fertility tool when she was attracted by Ji Murong. Ji Murong once said that Situ Ying did not like him, but was given to him by Qing Mei.
Ji Murong and Situ Ying's son's name is Ji Yuchen. From this name, we can see how ambitious Ji Murong and Ji Murong's father and son were hiding in those years.
Qinglei made people look forward to Situ Ying and his son, so he went to the Feng family in person.
The people who came to check the news in advance did not find anything, because except for Feng Chao, the guard who escaped, all the servants at home on the same day were also killed.
"The government has investigated and found that Feng Jinbao, the third son of the Feng family, was not at home when the incident occurred. There was no body of his body. There was nothing about the murderer. The coroner made an autopsy and said that the wound seemed to be done by the same person."
If Feng Jinbao died, the government would take the opportunity to confiscate the Feng family, which had a great family, even though the Feng family might have married the prefect. However, Feng Jinbao may still be alive, so those who covet the Feng family's property did not dare to be so arrogant and did not do anything for the time being. The prefect of Qingyang City ordered that the Feng family's body had been restrained and had not been buried yet, and was waiting for Feng Jinbao to come back.
The Feng family's mansion was sealed, and some officials guarded it day and night to avoid anyone taking advantage of the situation.
This made Qing Lei go over to see the scene of the murder. Although it was daytime, with his strength, it was not difficult to go in without knowing it.
Among the four brothers, Qing Lei was the representative of the most developed limbs and the simplest mind. However, after truly following Su Mo and Yuan Qiu, he experienced many things, and Qing Lei became much more mature and steady. When he was following Su Mo, he listened to Su Mo and did things by himself. He also learned to think twice before acting and act cautiously.
Perhaps in order to keep the scene for Feng Jinbao to see, the Feng family had not cleaned up other places except for the body being confined to the government for special placement, which was shocking to see.
Although when he first learned that Feng Jinbao was a man, he wanted to compete with Lin Song for Bailan, which made Qing Lei feel very bad about him, what happened later had changed Qing Lei. First, Feng Jinbao is Duan Yunhe's friend. Yuan Qiu said that Duan Yunhe was abrupt on the surface, but in fact he was very smart. Even she could not be truly recognized at the beginning. Therefore, Feng Jinbao's man is definitely not bad, and his decisive abandonment of Bailan also proves this. Logically speaking, a big family like the Feng family, whose legitimate son was rejected by a girl from a small family may feel embarrassed and take revenge on the Lin family and the Bai family, but the facts prove that such a thing happened. Therefore, the person in charge of the Feng family is probably good.
Thinking of this, when Qing Lei sighed repeatedly when he saw the dry and dim blood on the ground.
Finally, in the study of the Feng family leader, Qing Lei saw a mess, with a large area of blood. Unlike others, based on Qing Lei's experience, the Feng family leader was probably tortured and the murderer was venting his anger.
Qinglei initially inferred that the murderer really had a personal grudge with the Feng family, and the grudge was quite serious.
The room was chaotic and Qinglei couldn't tell what he had lost. Maybe Feng Jinbao would have to come back to discover it.
Until dark, Qinglei looked around the Feng family and then went to the place where the corpses were placed in the government office to see the head of the Feng family and his wife. As he guessed, the other people in the Feng family had similar deaths, and the fatal injuries were all wounded by swords, and only the head of the Feng family and his wife had many wounds.
Qing Lei returned to the tavern, and Situ Ying and his son were awake.
Situ Ying was originally a very talented disciple of Qingjue's younger generation. Her strength was no less than Qingmei. But her internal strength was completely destroyed when Qingmei planned to give her to Ji Murong as a gift. This is also the real reason why she chose to accept her fate, gave birth to a child for Ji Murong, and stayed in that villa with peace of mind before.
Situ Ying knew that Qinglei was not Ji Yang and Ji Murong's person, because if so, there was no need to drug them and their son.
"Do you have a grudge with Ji Ming?" Situ Ying looked at Qing Lei with a surprisingly calm expression. Her appearance was cold and slight, and her eyes were silent, like a pool of stagnant water.
Qing Lei nodded, "That's true. I am a member of the Rong clan of Dongming. Ji Ming is dead. Ji Murong is in our hands. It was him who told you mother and son that he was here to take you back in the name of his master."
Situ Ying's cold face finally fluctuated, "Is Ji Yang dead?"
Qing Lei was sure that he heard a hint of joy in Situ Ying's tone.
Qing Lei nodded, "That's right. I heard that you were Qing Jue's disciple too? So is my name. My name is Qing Lei, the guardian of Qingming Tower."
Situ Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is your master Su Mo?"
"That's right." Qing Lei nodded again.
"Why is Ji Murong not dead yet?"
Situ Ying's question made Qing Lei stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "It's a long story, I can only tell you so much. Next, you can be more at ease and take your children to Dongming."
Situ Ying was silent for a moment and asked, "Since it's Su Mo's intention, he shouldn't hurt my child, right?"
Qing Lei nodded, "Of course. It seems that it will be easier to deal with when you know my master's character. You are not allowed to stay here because you are not allowed to cause any disaster in the future. Taking you there will be a blessing for you."
"I understand." Situ Ying did not ask, hugged his son who was a little timid, nodded and said, "I should thank you. No matter where you go, it's good. I never want to stay in this dirty place again."
Qing Lei didn't know much about Ji Murong and Situ Ying. She was quite surprised to see her attitude. In addition, Qing Jue's disciples, Qing Lei sympathized with the experience of this junior sister, and said a few more words, mentioning the Ghost Taoist and Yuan Qiu.
Situ Ying knew about the ghost Taoist, although the ghost Taoist did not know about her before, it was Ji Murong who said it.
Qinglei did not talk about the devil Taoist and Ji Qingxuan and his son who were together. He only said that the devil Taoist was Yuan Qiu's master and wanted to find his great-grandson, so Yuan Qiu sent Qinglei to pick him up.
Situ Ying immediately thought that the ghost Taoist and Ji Feng and his son were not together, and his expression cleared a little because she had already given up her life. Now the only thing she was worried about was her son. She knew Su Mo, Yuan Qiu, and Rong Lan. After listening to Qinglei's explanation, she finally felt relieved.
Originally, Qinglei was still hesitating whether he would personally take Situ Ying and his son back to Dongming. He wanted to check the matters of the Feng family and Yao family here. The Feng family could not find anything, but the Yao family must pay attention. Qinglei suspected that if something happened to Yao Yuan, he would probably be taken hostage to the Xiliao Imperial City to seize the throne. If the person behind the scenes succeeded, it would be very troublesome. So he wanted to go to Wan'an City, but he was afraid that there would be some accidents on the way to Situ Ying and his son. After all, this was the purpose of his trip.
After talking to Situ Ying, Qinglei decided not to go back first.
Seeing Situ Ying's son looking at him timidly, Qing Lei tried his best to smile gently, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, go to a new home next, it's much better than now, you have everything, you can go out to play, and the baby will play with you."
The child's eyes lit up and he subconsciously looked at Situ Ying, as if he wanted to confirm whether Qinglei was lying to him. He was already three years old, but he was trapped in that small world and had never come out because he was hidden and could not stand it.
Situ Ying's eyes were slightly dimmed, and he rubbed his son's hair, "I'm called Master Qing. He is a good person."
The child smiled when he heard this, ran out of Situ Ying's arms, rushed into Qing Lei's arms, and shouted sweetly, "Sir Qing!"
Qing Lei was stunned for a moment, a little helpless, and his heart suddenly became soft. He picked up the child and put it on his legs. After touching his body, there was nothing he could use as a gift for a meeting, so he said he would make up for it later.
"Sister Situ, I have encountered some trouble here and can't go back for the time being. Two seniors will escort you. Have a good rest tonight and set off tomorrow morning." Qing Lei said.
Situ Ying nodded, "Okay, thank you senior brother."
Qinglei played with the child for a while. The child liked his appearance very much. When he left, Qinglei repeatedly promised that he would see him again in a few days. When he saw the child, Qinglei even hesitated whether to send them back to Dongming first...
"Senior brother, go and do business. I believe you will not cause trouble." Situ Ying hugged his son and patted him, looking at Qing Lei with a faint expression and said.
"Okay. Goodbye!" Qing Lei bowed and turned around and strode away.
When he walked out for a while, Qing Lei looked back and Situ Ying was still standing under the eaves, and the child was lying on her shoulder. Looking at this side, Qing Lei felt a little sad inexplicably.
