Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 16 each with their own minds

In the back garden of Taishi Mansion, all the people with status were standing here.

Cheng Yue and Cheng Qing originally wanted Master Cheng to rest, but he refused and sat aside to watch.

There is no other way but this is the only way.

None of the people present were easy to dismiss. Cheng Qing could tell that if she didn't give a reasonable explanation today, she wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

Zhao Wuyuan stood up. A pair of red phoenixes looked at Cheng Qing with a little doubt, and asked: "Miss Cheng, why are those people chasing you?"

What he didn't want to ask was, why did he pursue her one after another?
No matter how many things he wanted to ask, he had to take Taishi Cheng's feelings into consideration.Otherwise, if the Grand Master becomes angry, Cheng Yue might not let him go if he acts like a ghost.

Thinking of Cheng Yue, a trace of sadness flashed across Zhao Wuyuan's face.

Cheng Qing was easy to catch, Zhao Wuyuan was one of her best brothers, who had lived and died together, and she also knew that he took herself very seriously in his heart.

But she couldn't show anything.

"It's because of the subsidy." Cheng Qing explained: "I went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask once, and after that time, they wanted to kill me."

"What?!" Qi Diaolie said in disbelief: "They actually want to kill you for some subsidy money?!"

Master Cheng clenched his crutches, feeling uncomfortable, and stood up suddenly.

Everyone looked at him.

Taishi Cheng frowned and explained: "People are no longer useful when they are old. They get sleepy after sitting for a while. I will go back first."

Qing'er and the others were all worried about him, so how could he be so determined to hold them back?

What would happen even if the whole truth was known?Besides being sad, what can he do to help the children?
If he falls down then, they will have to take care of his old bones.

He should believe in Qing'er. She can save the day on the battlefield and show him the best soldier she can be. Then, under his nose, she will let him see her save the day.

He should trust her.

Master Cheng's words made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Only Cheng Qing looked at Master Cheng guiltily.She knew her father, just like her father knew her. He would never drag her down in the overall situation, so she took a strong dose and told him that the current situation was so dangerous that he would not listen anymore. significance.

"Farewell to the Grand Master!"

Watching Grand Master Cheng staggering away, Cheng Qing felt very sad because her father, an unfilial daughter, was a bit older than her peers.

No longer thinking, Zhao Wuyuan looked at Cheng Qing seriously, concentrated on asking: "Are you sure who are the people who came to assassinate you?"

Cheng Qing shook his head and said, "Not sure. When they came, they were all wearing face masks and night clothes."

"When they came to kill you, did you hear what they said?" Zhao Wuyuan continued to ask without giving up.

Cheng Qingdao: "When they first came to kill me, they said I had offended someone who shouldn't have been offended."

Zhao Wuyuan frowned, but this sentence alone could not give any beneficial information.The Cheng family is weak in Anping City, and there are too many people they can't afford to offend.Black and white, the coverage area is too large, trying to investigate is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Bai Xiuyuan stepped forward, took a deep look at Cheng Qing, and said, "If there are only these...Wuyuan, ask those killers."

Zhao Wuyuan exchanged a few glances with him, nodded, turned to Qi Diaolie and the others and said, "Come with me to interrogate and interrogate them, and let them know our methods so as not to underestimate us."

"Okay, let's go!" Qi Diaolie and the others had a hot temper, they turned around and left.

Zhao Wuyuan glanced at Cheng Qing slightly before leaving. Bai Xiuyuan was really interested in her. Could it be that he liked her?

Cheng Qing felt chilled by that look. Could it be that even Zhao Wuyuan started to doubt her?Has her acting skills deteriorated so much now?
The group of people left after a while, only Cheng Yue, Cheng Qingbai and Xiuyuan were left.

Bai Xiuyuan looked at Cheng Qing, and he wasn't really sure, but the feeling she gave him was so strong. Could it really be the answer he thought?
That answer was so shocking that it was simply impossible.

He must be careful.

Cheng Yue noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, and stood in front of Cheng Qing. He looked at Bai Xiuyuan coldly and said, "Mr. Bai, why are you looking at my sister like this?"

"I'm sorry, I'm rude." Bai Xiuyuan bowed and said, "I was thinking about Miss Cheng's words just now, and I lost my mind for a moment. I didn't mean any offense. I ask Mr. Cheng, Miss Cheng, to forgive me."

Seeing the apology on his face, Cheng Yue calmed down a little and said, "Qing'er has finished what he wanted to say. If Mr. Bai has nothing to do, it's too late now."

Bai Xiuyuan rolled his eyes slightly and said, "That's not okay. I'm sending everyone away because I want to ask Miss Cheng something and Mr. Cheng."

"What's the matter?" Cheng Yue asked.

Behind Cheng Yue, Cheng Qing heard that it was not him who had been exposed, but what he expected to be asked about, and he was now being asked about it.

Bai Xiuyuan guessed: "When Miss Cheng was hunted down, it wasn't as simple as going to the Ministry of Finance, right?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Cheng Yue's tone was very rude. Bai Xiuyuan was obviously exploring his sister's privacy.

"Brother." Cheng Qing pulled his clothes and called him, but did not go out. He stood behind Cheng Yue and said: "Mr. Bai, yes, it is exactly what you imagined. I will go and investigate in secret. Then, I got some clues. Then I was discovered by them, and then I was hunted down until now."

"I wonder what Miss Cheng discovered? Can you tell me easily?" Bai Xiuyuan asked next.

"The subsidy matter has something to do with the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, but he did not do it alone. There is also a man, about 40 years old, with a round face, thick eyebrows and a beard. There is a tattoo on the left side of his neck, which looks like a skull." Finally. Cheng Qing was not sure about this. He was discovered when he wanted to take a closer look.

"Skull..." Bai Xiuyuan frowned and thought for a while, but there was no corresponding character in his mind.He raised his head, looked at Cheng Yue's shoulder, and said, "Miss Cheng, if you still want to make the previous proposal, you can come to Bai at any time. Mr. Cheng, leave."

After saying that, Bai Xiuyuan left in a hurry.

Cheng Yue turned to look at Cheng Qing and asked, "What did he tell you?"

Cheng Qing squinted his eyes, looked at Bai Xiuyuan's back, and said, "He wants to cooperate with me. Brother, how are you doing with the investigation about the skull?"

A trace of complexity flashed across Cheng Yue's eyes, and he said, "The person has already been killed."

Cheng Qing turned to look at the bright moon in the sky and said, "So, he is just an informant."
