Chapter 539: Persecution
When Captain Zhang saw Di Ying, he did not say his intention directly. After all, it was a secret matter. Sometimes he had to look at the environment when talking about things. Find a suitable opportunity or test the other party's attitude first. He was a bit rough on weekdays, but he still knew some human relationships.
After being implicit for a while, Captain Zhang found that Di Ying seemed a little absent-minded and was much silent, and seemed to be full of worries. He was not happy to see him like before, asking questions, telling his worries, caring about his family, etc., which made him not express his future intentions all at once.
After a few more gossips, Captain Zhang learned how Zhu Ying attacked the prisoner and suddenly asked: "Di Ying, you seem to have some worries. Have you encountered any difficulties? Just say it if you have something to do. What else can we master and apprentice say? If you need the master's help, just say it."
"No... nothing, I have nothing... difficulty." After being asked suddenly, Di Ying was a simple young man, who was only in his early twenties and had a simple mind, and he suddenly became stuttered.
Captain Zhang immediately smiled, "Look at you, the problem of stuttering when you are nervous is still not corrected. Don't hide it from me. I almost watched you grow up. I can't tell you if you have something to do? Do you treat your master as an outsider?"
"No...no." Di Ying stuttered again as soon as he opened his mouth, and finally touched his head embarrassedly and smiled silly, "Master, really, I didn't. I said it, it's not a big deal. It was just a few days ago that our commander scolded him and said that he was a guard in the palace. He wanted skills, not a mouth. I like to talk more, and I was not sure what I should say, and I was asked to do more and less. I am learning that I shouldn't have that much mouth, so I didn't mean to hide it from you. This is my fault. I'm sorry to say it to others."
Of course, Captain Zhang could understand Di Ying's concerns. He was once a guard in the royal palace, so he naturally knew the rules. However, sometimes people tend to forget some things and just think that they are kind-hearted and are not considered outsiders.
Now that Di Ying said that, he felt that he had broken the rules. Di Ying was a young man, and he was a little ignorant and not polite, but he was different. He was considered an old man in the mansion. He should abide by the rules even more. Even if Di Ying took the initiative to mention it at the beginning, he should remind Di Ying that unless the superior allowed it. Otherwise, don’t disclose this matter at will, even if it is a matter of acquiesce to the superior. If the position is low, you can say less. Di Ying has the upper hand, except for the prince and the princess. Others have no right to break the rules.
Seeing that Captain Zhang did not speak for a long time, Di Ying felt guilty. He said too much again. Those words just now shouldn't be said so directly, as if they were blaming the master, so he quickly explained, "Master, don't get me wrong. It's not that you don't believe you, nor that you shouldn't talk too much to you now... Hi, look at my mouth, it's really a lot of mistakes."
"Master understands, rules are rules after all. You forgot it when you were young, and the master didn't remind you. It was the master's fault." Captain Zhang looked at Di Ying and sighed, then said, "Master told you directly. This time I came here for the assassin you mentioned last time. It was not the master who wanted to inquire about it, but our prefect has some clues about the assassin. The specific matter of the superiors, the prefect did not tell me in detail. The royal palace did not report the case, and the government office was not easy to observe clearly. Knowing that I have a relationship with the royal palace, our prefect sent me to ask... Will the royal palace still need to be investigated? But you can't make the decision on this matter, so I quietly asked you the commander."
"Okay, master, please sit down, I'll ask now." When Di Ying heard that it was about the assassin, she immediately felt that it was a big deal. She couldn't sit still and hurried out to ask.
"Di Ying..." Captain Zhang called him and said, "Look at you, you're just impulsive, you're not in a hurry. The prefect found only a little clue. You should be careful when asking, don't ask in front of many people, and ask quietly in person."
"Why?" Di Ying didn't react for a moment. It was inappropriate to say that this was a random talk outside the mansion, but there should be nothing in the mansion. Everyone is still investigating this matter, and the brothers all know that now that there are clues, everyone should be very happy.
Captain Zhang shook his head, "Look at you, I told you to use your brain more in everything. Don't rely on just a brute force. Think about it, it's just a clue, a brainless one, and everyone knows it. The things that have been gradually calming down may cause trouble again. There are so many brothers in the palace, brothers and family members, and talking about it all over the place, which can be a good thing. As for this matter, it is definitely not easy to dare to assassinate the palace in the palace. Maybe there is anything else behind it. We are guards, just to maintain the security of the palace, and to investigate things like that. It is not the scope of the guard's position, and it is not easy to say this matter on the surface, so you asked you to ask quietly."
Di Ying couldn't believe it. He said this from the mouth of the head Zhang. When Zhang taught him martial arts, he only said that he should be honest and be serious and responsible in his work. He must not be perfunctory for temporary benefits or self-protection. But now he said this again.
"Go, remember what I said, don't worry." Captain Zhang reminded Di Ying again.
Di Ying then slowly went out.
I found the commander of the guard Qiu Sheng. It happened that Qiu Sheng was on the offside today and was practicing martial arts alone in the yard. When I saw Di Ying coming in, I thought I was coming to him to drink, so I was very happy.
Di Ying remembered Captain Zhang's advice and saw that there was no one around, so he quietly told Qiu Sheng about this.
When Qiu Sheng heard this, his face changed. He knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to delay it. After asking clearly, he immediately met the prince. Not long after, he came back and told Di Ying that the prince knew and told him not to speak out and to deal with it. In order to avoid Di Ying talking nonsense, he repeatedly reminded him that it was important and never talk nonsense.
Both the master and the commander repeatedly reminded him that Di Ying would not dare to talk nonsense.
He went back and told Captain Zhang. Seeing that his goal was achieved, he could not control what happened afterwards. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and did not ask anything else. He went back to report his life.
...
That night, Lian Yufeng came to Su Yiqing's room. The couple was speechless and silent for a long time. Lian Yufeng said softly: "Are you okay during this period?"
Su Yiqing whispered: "It depends on which aspect. You are in good health, and the rest are just like this. If you have any questions, just say it."
The woman's intuition, even Yufeng came tonight, not to ease the relationship between husband and wife, it must be something. So she didn't want to bother to guess, test each other and ask directly.
Lian Yufeng sighed secretly and said, "Then I'll say it, I heard that there was a troublemaker in the mansion some time ago. Do you know who the assassin was or who instructed him?"
Su Yiqing looked at Lian Yufeng's eyes and said slowly: "I don't know."
The answer was straightforward. Lian Yufeng was silent for a moment and said, "But I feel it, you know."
"Okay, just pretend I know, but I don't want to say it. What do you want?" Su Yiqing's words were a bit provocative, and they probably suppressed them for a long time.
"I just care about you, and of course I care about the safety of the mansion." Lian Yufeng sighed. His tone was softer, "After all, this assassin won't be able to hit you. There may be another one, and he may not be so lucky next time."
Faced with Lian Yufeng like this, Su Yiqing's heart was a little soft and she whispered: "I don't want to say it. I've said before, there are some things that I don't want to say, don't force me."
"It has something to do with your past?" Lian Yufeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a little dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
Su Yiqing captured that ray of light. She had also been wandering around the world and killed in the battlefield. She was very familiar with such eyes. With murderous aura, the man was tempted to kill, and he didn't know who he wanted to kill at this moment. For a moment, she felt tired and didn't want to be so careful. She simply nodded and admitted, "Yes, but I don't want to say it. In fact, if some things are not spoken directly, it might be fine. If you say it bluntly, it will be hard to accept."
"For example?" Lian Yufeng seemed determined to ask the question to the end this time.
Su Yiqing looked down at her hands and said for a while: "For example, there are too many coincidences in your marriage, as if it was deliberately arranged. With your style of conduct, are you really not suspicious at all? I just appeared in front of you, and you accepted it easily and didn't ask anything."
"I said that because I like you, I can accept it." Even Yufeng's voice was softer, "You also said that I believe I am sincere to you."
"But you and I are not ordinary couples after all, and we are involved too much. With your status, I will appear in front of you. Do you have no doubts at all?" Su Yiqing asked repeatedly.
"What about you?" Lian Yufeng asked, "Since you have doubts, why did you marry me? With your ability, you can disappear again. I remember you hesitated at the beginning, but in the end you agreed, why?"
Su Yiqing was stunned. She was tired at the beginning and didn't want to live a wandering life anymore. In addition, she was also moved by him. In addition, the threat from Mrs. Zhou and other reasons, she actually had no choice.
But before many things were confirmed, she didn't want to tell Mrs. Zhou. If things were not as she thought, then with Lian Yufeng's style of conduct, she would definitely find a way to deal with Mrs. Zhou, or the people of the Zhou family. Mrs. Zhou is not an ordinary person. If two tigers fight, one will be injured, and it is more likely that both sides will suffer. This is not the situation she wants to see.
Seeing that Su Yiqing didn't speak, even Yufeng said, "Taking yourself to others, since you have your own difficulties, I naturally have my concerns. We have made an agreement before, but asking what the other party doesn't want to say, but now it's not me who wants to ask, but this matter endangers your life safety. I have to ask, to tell you, to tell you, the prefect of Yancheng Zhu Ying sent someone to pass on the message, saying that he had caught the original assassin."
"Zhu Ying said that he had caught the assassin?" Su Yiqing was a little unbelievable. Her first reaction was that she had caught Su Yirong and the others?
"Do you think it's impossible?" Lian Yufeng's eyes seemed to see through Su Yiqing's heart.
Su Yiqing's nails were secretly pinching her flesh, and after a while, she said, "Since Zhu Ying said that she had caught the assassin, you should interrogate her. I don't want to care too much. This is not a matter for women."
"Do you think the interrogation is good?" Lian Yufeng paused, "I'm asking if I will interrogate something that you don't want people to know?"
"Maybe." Su Yiqing said tiredly, "Even if that's the case, what can I do? I was worried that one day my identity would be exposed and it would implicate you. You said you have a way to deal with it. The worst situation is probably like this. I don't want to explain too much, and I won't do anything to keep my so-called secret."
"But, don't you think that if there is really something that will be interrogated, your husband should know in advance so that there will be a solution?" Lian Yufeng's voice showed a little dissatisfaction.
"I really can't think of anything else in your response, except for killing people to silence me." Su Yiqing sarcastically.
Lian Yufeng frowned and said, "I really care about you and our family."
"You care too much, and the interests are at the forefront. If you have to give up, I doubt what you gave up first?" Su Yiqing finally expressed her biggest dissatisfaction.
In fact, what has broken their trust for a long time is that he can replace his own flesh and blood, but keep her here. Wouldn't he be worried that it would be dangerous for him to stay here?
If he doesn't want to do anything, why should he be afraid that the child will stay here? If he really has any disobedient intentions, then she will also have the possibility of being hostage.
Or maybe she stayed here alone, facing so many political enemies, and some people with ulterior motives want to mess up the water. Could it be that he is not worried about her safety?
She believed that he still had true love for her, but does this true love seem insignificant compared to his great cause?
In addition, she became suspicious of the two's reunion, and all of this made her feel doubtful.
Under the influence of such a mood, it is difficult for her to face him with a normal heart. How could she tell him the secrets in her heart, her past, and the deepest fear in her heart?
