Chapter 58 Could this be heartbeat?
Qing Hua:......
This man is definitely jealous.
He definitely heard her nonsense.
She quickly handed the small porcelain bottle in her hand to Ji Xianning, turned around and ran over to hug Lian Xueyin's arm, "I found it."
"Then let's go."
Lian Xueyin didn't ask any more questions and walked away.
After she left, Liu Yingzhong came over and joined Ji Xianning. Qing Hui was right. No matter how Ji Xianning was knocked unconscious by Qi Mingyue, it would not kill him. There must be something behind this.
He said to the two soldiers guarding Ji Xianning, "Just follow him. I will take him back."
The two knew his identity and were told to let Ji Xianning follow him, so they obediently let go of Ji Xianning.
Ji Xianning held the small porcelain vase in his hand, his eyebrows lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Liu Yingzhong was still very angry with him now, but he still asked: "Why did you come to the bandits' den in Pingshan? This is not something you would do. It's not like you don't have a place to live?"
Although the Ji family is not as wealthy as the Chen family, it is also a scholarly family. The Ji family's uncle and aunt are selling off their assets to find their son, and it is impossible to sell the ancestral home as well.
"Last year I returned to Chongyang City and rescued the dying Master Cheng Da in the Ruoshui River. We got along for a while. I saw that he was a loyal man, so I trusted him. After returning to Chongyang City, I originally wanted to
I went back to my hometown and waited for news, but I couldn't accept the way I was now, let alone how to face the people I knew in the past. When I was penniless and had nowhere to go, Master Cheng took me in and invited me
I came to the village to be a military advisor."
"I don't think they are scheming people, and most of them became bandits because they had no choice. So I thought that since I live here, I might be able to do something to help them change their current predicament and change their behavior as soon as possible.
It's a serious business, Master Cheng assured me that they are definitely not murderers seeking wealth, but they just robbed some property from passing merchant ships when they had no way to survive."
"During the year I was in the mountains, most of them hunted in the mountains and brought them to the city in exchange for food. They did not do any evil."
"In my spare time, I teach them how to read and teach them some knowledge of the law, hoping that they will return to the right path as soon as possible."
"It's me... I'm too naive." Ji Xianning is not a fool. When he didn't find out, he could use what he saw and knew to whitewash the situation. But once he took a closer look, there was a problem from the very beginning when he met Cheng Dalong.
At that time, Magistrate Liu took people up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but due to lack of manpower, they only frightened them and did not cause serious harm to them.
How did Cheng Dalong get injured and meet him, a crippled scholar with no strength at all?
Qi Mingyue really understands him.
Knowing that he would not leave an injured person alone when he met him, and also knowing that he would not be able to face it when he returned to his hometown, he used Cheng Dalong to hang him up early in the morning. This year, he was clearly monitoring him by saying he was staying.
Liu Yingzhong sneered coldly: "You are not naive, you were fooled by Qi Mingyue. If you had gone to me at that time, how could you not know what happened? After all, you just didn't dare to doubt Qi Mingyue, you were afraid,
You are afraid that once you doubt her, your belief in the past ten years will completely collapse, so even though there are many doubts, you just don't think about it or look at it!"
"yes."
Ji Xianning couldn't refute, he couldn't even recall the bad experiences he had in the past few years. When he was in Jingzhou, he was poisoned and fell off a cliff, becoming disabled and disfigured, and was almost eaten by wild beasts.
The daily nightmare made him feel like a ray of light squeezed into the darkness when he saw Qi Mingyue.
He has loved her for many years.
Since he was a child, he knew that the delicate little girl was his future wife. He felt sorry for her, doted on her and protected her, fearing that he would not give enough and make her feel a little wronged.
For a girl like Qi Mingyue who was loved by thousands of people, he was just afraid that he was not good enough and had wronged her.
The person who was so important to his heart, appearing next to him at such a moment, had become his only courage to live.
However, after several years of torture and recuperation, he finally became a disabled person from which he could not recover.
He is not worthy of her and can't make any promises to her.
It was also at this time that he realized that she was not only the beloved daughter of the Chen family, but her true identity was also the daughter of a first-class prince in the capital. She was supposed to marry Prince Chen, who was most likely to inherit the throne.
Someone who becomes a princess and may become a queen in the future.
She is the bright moon in the sky.
He is the dirt on the ground.
He was no longer worthy of having her, and now she was like a chasm, unattainable.
When he saw her in despair, he mutilated himself and fled the capital in panic.
He is really stupid.
As long as he stayed in the capital for a longer period of time, he would have seen his tortured parents who were worse than death, and who had traveled through mountains and rivers and narrowly escaped death for him.
He is a son of man in vain.
Liu Yingzhong wanted to continue scolding him, but looking at him like this, he couldn't say the curse words that came to his lips.
He took a breath and directly told him what happened last night, "Qing Hui asked me to ask you why you deceived me into coming to Pingshan. You sent someone to assassinate me last night and committed murder and arson in my house.
Is it you?"
"Assassination?" Ji Xianning was stunned for a moment and shook his head. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still spoke, "I received the message that Ming Yue asked someone to send me, asking me to find a way to trip you up. Don't let it go.
People in the capital found out about the Chen family, and someone wants to use this matter to deal with her."
"I...I felt pity for her situation and couldn't bear to embarrass her, so I asked a few people to set fire to your house. It rained last night. I knew the fire would not start, but with your temper, I knew this and told Pingshanshan
If you are related to gangsters, you will definitely be angry and want to settle accounts. You may not actually go up the mountain, but you will probably leave the city. So I found someone squatting at the foot of the mountain, ready to take you up the mountain and have a chat with you."
Ji Xianning really didn't know about Liu Shuangyue. He had never been to Chongyang City after he came back. He only heard by chance that Liu Shuangyue jumped into the river. He didn't know what happened, let alone what happened in Pingshan.
The bandits are related.
"I'm sorry, I don't know about Shuangyue, I'm sorry."
Ji Xianning could not shirk anything. If he had known better, he would not have believed that Cheng Dalong and the others could be good people at that time.
"I'm sorry, huh, that's not all you have to apologize for?"
Liu Yingzhong was very angry, "If I hadn't met Qing Hua last night, I would have died on the boat. Among those assassins were people from Shanlong Village. There were also some who came to my house to kill people and set fire. I really don't like my father.
Those concubines and concubines, but they are not guilty enough to die. They even attack children under ten years old, they are simply beasts!"
"Qi Mingyue definitely did this! She started spreading rumors that the Chen family abused her since she left Chongyang City. Now not many people know her details. She is afraid that someone will find out about me, so the warning is not enough, so she wants to
I'll silence you!"
"Just wait, I will settle this account with her sooner or later. When the time comes, don't blame us for being friends!"
Liu Yingzhong said sadly.
Ji Xianning remained silent and did not make a sound.
It was already afternoon when Qing Hui followed Lian Xueyin back to the city.
She walked around in the mud on the mountain, and her beautiful skirt was covered with mud spots. She couldn't wait to go back and take a shower and change her clothes.
Then he went to the study to find paper and pen, and wrote a prescription for Ji Xianning.
I called someone to deliver it to Liu Yingzhong.
After finishing all this work, Qing Hui returned to the room and saw Lian Xueyin leaning against the window with a book in his hand, but he hadn't turned a page for a long time.
Obviously my mind is not on the book.
She suddenly became mischievous and controlled a leaf to fall on the book in Lian Xueyin's hand.
Lian Xueyin came back to his senses and looked at the leaves on the page.
The leaves seemed to feel his gaze, and flew up like butterflies. Sometimes they touched Lian Xueyin's eyebrows, sometimes his lips, and even patted the corners of his lips playfully.
Lian Xueyin simply moved his lips and bit the leaf.
Qing Hua came over with a "scratch" and reached out to grab the leaf he had bitten. Lian Xue Yin grabbed her wrist and gently brought her into his arms.
Qing Hui grabbed his clothes and climbed onto his lap.
Lian Xueyin probably didn't expect her to climb up like this and let go of her hand.
Qing Hui took advantage of the situation and held his face.
Then she leaned over and kissed him quickly on the lips.
The leaves turned into aura and blended into his mouth.
He held Qing Hui's waist and asked in a low voice: "What?"
"Why did my husband reveal his identity and take people up the mountain today? Aren't we here for a private visit in private?" Qing Hu asked curiously.
"The people who committed murder and arson in Magistrate Liu's mansion last night were from the stronghold. Now that I know about it, I'm going to ask Magistrate Liu why he allowed the gangsters to cause trouble, and then transferred the guards nearby. In recent years, they have really indulged themselves.
."
When Lian Xueyin was young, his methods were extremely arbitrary and tough.
He lives up to his reputation as a tyrant.
