Shu Blossoms

Chapter 335 Escape and Counterattack

Everyone was running away, and no one paid attention to her for a while. She wanted to take the opportunity to return to the alley before. The archer was probably dead, and she was going to get his weapon.

While walking, she even pulled clothes that someone didn't know to dry and put them on her body. Seeing that A Weng, who was selling candied haws, was carrying them to avoid pedestrians, she slipped a few of them, pulled off the candied haws and wrapped them in a piece of cloth. A sharp wooden chisel was tightly held in his hand.

She felt that she was familiar and deft in doing this, as if she had done it countless times.

After thinking about it for a moment, she felt that she might be tired, so she pinched another candied haws and put it in her mouth. After taking a bite, the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth, and she instantly felt refreshed.

Soon she found the archer's body. The man had no other weapons except a few arrows and a bow. After thinking about it, Zheng Wei took the bow and arrows and climbed over the wall to the highest roof.

Holding a bow and arrow, while looking for the target, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she discussed this situation with her senior brother and Mu Wu.

After Tangshan's assassination last time, Qing Wei followed the traces left by those assassins all the way to Yu Qi, Zuo Zhong Lang under Shang Shu Sheng Tingwei.He was responsible for transporting the weapons manufactured under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry, checking them into the warehouse, and then distributing them to several large camps near the suburbs of Beijing, Acropolis.

Among them was a batch of hundreds of bows and arrows, but the arrows disappeared after being put into storage.

Qingwei took all the officials who had handled this matter back for interrogation one by one, and finally determined that this matter was inseparable from Yu Qi. Qingwei immediately sent people to block Yu's mansion and asked for an order to search the mansion.

But when the searched Qingwei entered Yu Qi's mansion, he was shocked, except for his personal servant, there was no one in Yu's mansion, only the two of them were left in the mansion.

It was only then that Qingwei realized that everyone in the Yu Mansion had already escaped from under their noses, or left Jiankang in an open and honest manner!
After Mu Wu heard about this, he was first furious, then ashamed, wishing to kill him.

He took the initiative to go to the gate of Xianyang Palace to plead guilty, and after kneeling for an hour, it is said that His Majesty ordered him to take the crime and perform meritorious service.

This time, all the people in Qingwei started to move, and only then did they know that as early as ten days ago, Yu Qi's family members began to leave Jiankang under various names one after another, and even the servants were all dispersed within these ten days.

What made Zheng Wei feel strange was that the Yu Manor was a left-handed gentleman, even if the family population was simple, there would be at least dozens of family members plus servants, how could such a big movement not be spread out.

Zheng Wei couldn't help but go to the Qingwei to investigate, and only then did he know that Yu Qi was really an upright official, and also a kind person.

He has a clean sleeve, and his salary of [-] shi a year can barely support his family. If his wife hadn't been diligent in managing the house, the family might not even be able to support a few servants.

Even if Mrs. Yu tried her best, there were only two servants in the family, one was in charge of the kitchen and the other was in charge of the cleaning, and when they were busy they would do everything.

Yu Qi's personal servant is the son of one of the families.

Three days later, Qingwei still found the two servants. After all, they could not escape far if they were on the run, so they got some news from these servants.

Madam Yu told them on the day she left that Yu Qi had offended the nobles in the court, and those people would probably not let it go.

In order not to bring disaster to their family, they decided to move out of Jiankang with their whole family. Madam Yu distributed half of the family savings to these servants, and returned the bond of slavery to them, saying that Master Yu would personally go to the government office to pay the servants in a few days. They do good citizenship deeds.

Let them leave after two days after Yu Qi's parents, wife and children are healthy, but the news should not be made public, lest the news leak and annoy the nobles and they will not be able to leave.

Then the two families left Jiankang on the pretext of visiting relatives, and fled to the countryside to hide from disaster, but they didn't know anything about the rest.

Probably Yu Qi's personal servant knew better!
After investigating this matter for five or six days, Yu Qi was very stubborn from the beginning to the end. He only said that the family was struggling, his mother was seriously ill and had no money to see a doctor, and he stole the batch of bows and arrows in a moment of impatience and sold them to a Jiang Hu. .

As for who that person was and what he bought the bow and arrow for, he insisted that he didn't know.

Mu Wubu was reconciled to the situation they had set up for so long. The two princesses even went through dangerous situations and only caught a pawn, and this pawn was surprisingly hard-boned and refused to reveal anything.

Mu Wu came to see Zheng Wei with a face full of guilt, "I didn't expect this person to look weak, he is really tough, he has tasted all the punishments in the guard prison, and he refuses to do anything when he has only one breath left!"

Zheng Wei felt strange when he heard this, but after hearing Mu Wu's introduction, Yu Qi is an upright official who treats others kindly and generously.

On weekdays, he is very popular, but he rarely has close friends, and he has never formed a party in the court.She was sure that she had never seen Yu Qi before, let alone any grudges.

Is it really for money to steal bows and arrows?This is a capital crime, if His Majesty is furious and convicted of treason, it will be the three clans of barbarians!

Zheng Wei personally went to the guard prison to take a look at Yu Qi, he was beaten to a bloody mess, she frowned, asked Mu Wu to clean him up, and invited a doctor.

Zheng Wei observed him for a long time before deciding to go in and have a talk with him.

When Yu Qi saw her, surprise flashed in his eyes, and Zheng Wei's feeling was even stronger. She put down the food box in her hand, and slowly took out the food inside, a bowl of rice porridge, and a plate of side dishes. , then put the chopsticks in front of him and said softly: "Your injury is serious, the medical officer said you should eat something light."

Yu Qi didn't move his chopsticks, but looked directly at her, as if he refused to eat without revealing his identity.

Zheng Wei lightly parted her red lips, "I am Zheng Wei, Princess Danyang!"

Yu Qi's complexion changed drastically, the guilt flashed in his eyes, and he turned back to a cold and hard look at random. He held his hand with difficulty: "I feel deeply guilty for causing the princess to be in danger because of Yu's misreading. But even if you come to ask a certain , I still don’t know who those people are!”

Zheng Wei shook his head, "Even without the hundreds of bows and arrows you lost, I would still be assassinated, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Yu Qi showed surprise on his face, and he heard Zheng Wei continue: "I came here to ask you, are you really ready to use the lives of your parents, wife, children, and your three clans to repay your kindness and debt?"

As soon as she said this, Yu Qi was shocked and blurted out: "How do you know?"

Before he finished speaking, he realized that Zheng Wei was deceiving him, so he quickly shut up and never talked about it again.

Mu Wu searched all the medical clinics and pharmacies in Jiankang, but he couldn't find out that Yu's family had asked a doctor to buy medicines. Zheng Wei felt that Yu Qi was not the kind of money-greedy person who gave up the lives of the whole family for the sake of money. people.The only thing that can make him so desperate is Enyi.

Sure enough, after this trial, Yu Qi's reaction explained everything.

Zheng Wei also knew that it was meaningless to continue talking, she stood up and looked at him, and sighed, "If it's just guarding and stealing, it's just beheading,

If I don't pursue it, your little family can save their lives.But you lost hundreds of bows and thousands of arrows, which is enough to arm an army of bows and arrows. This is a crime of treason, at least the three tribes of Yi, and I can't do anything about it!It's a pity that the child who is not yet three years old! "

Yu Qi felt a pain in his heart, that was his two-year-old grandson, who opened his hands all day long and shouted 'Ah Weng hug'!
After Zheng Wei left, he told Mu Wu not to torture him any more, and locked him up for the time being. As for the people behind the scenes, since that person hadn't been captured, they still had to take action, they just had to set up a plan and wait.
