Chapter 702 Exposing the Conspiracy
"What do you mean?" Chonghua frowned unhappily: "I asked you to come, did I ask you to die? Did I ask you to replace the hostage?"

Zhong Wei only smiled: "Don't you understand, Your Majesty? Their fundamental target is me, not these hostages. They don't believe that you will let them go. They think that only by holding me can they really escape."

She shouted: "Your Majesty says he agrees! I agree too!"

Chonghua wanted to slap her in the face: "When did I say I agreed?"

The crowd cheered and shouted: "Long live my emperor, a thousand years old empress!"

Zhong Weiwei looked at Chonghua and smiled: "Have you heard that? What people want. You must show your attitude! Otherwise, how could they listen to us and work hard for us?"

She held Chonghua's hand tenderly, and said softly: "I promised to be a hostage, not to be slaughtered. Your Majesty must have a perfect plan, right?"

Chonghua hated her to death, and said angrily: "I can't help it! You just wait to find death!"

Zhong Weiwei's fingers rubbed back and forth on the back of his hand: "You have a way."

"You don't want to go out from now on!" Chonghua gave her a stern look, turned his horse's head, called Song Yanwu and the leader of the Heijia Army over, ordered a few words in a low voice, and called Liu Cen to explain.

After everything was arranged properly, Liu Cen went to negotiate with Taishi Wei, asking the other party to hand over all the hostages, and together with Zhong Weiyi, they set out to exchange at the same time.

Taishi Wei cautiously poked his head behind the wall, Zhong Weiwei waved to him: "I'm here!"

Taishi Wei verified that he was upright, and quickly shrank back.

King Qi's face was wrinkled into a bun, and he discussed nervously with Grand Master Wei in a low voice: "What should I do, the person disappeared, what can I get in exchange? Maybe Ke Baiqiu has already killed him."

Grand Master Wei was also distraught: "I will try my best to procrastinate and find someone as soon as possible. They can't escape, otherwise His Majesty would not have such an attitude."

King Qi almost cried: "It's all because of Ke Baiqiu, that bastard. I never thought of rebelling. They set a trap to harm me."

"It's useless to say these things." Grand Master Wei was a little contemptuous, but he had thought about it a long time ago, and made a lot of preparations for it, but Chonghua is much stronger than he imagined, so he has been waiting Chance.

But before he got the right opportunity, Ke Baiqiu forced him to turn his back on him. His previous preparations were wasted and he fell into this embarrassing situation. Otherwise, how could he be in such a miserable situation!

The urging sound from outside became more and more intense. Chonghua asked someone to drag a big drum and beat it hard. The sound of the drum was deafening and made people panic.

Liu Cen urged outside, "Hurry up, hurry up, or you will anger His Majesty, and you will lose your chance!"

Grand Master Wei made a quick decision: "Let people lie on a stretcher, pretend to be Qiu Mao and Chen Shaoming, and trick Zhong Weiwei over first!"

After the hostages passed, they had to be verified, so some people with high martial arts skills had to be hidden in the returning crowd, causing chaos at the right time, and then arresting Zhong Weiwei while taking advantage of the chaos.

Taishi Wei quickly counted the available people and arranged them properly, worried and asked someone to open the door.

The hostages were crowded together, and many seriously injured people were also carried on stretchers. It was dark and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly.

"Please come here, Da Sicha!" Taishi Wei shouted loudly.

Zhong Weiwei jumped off the horse and was about to walk towards the opposite side, when Chonghua flicked his whip and wrapped her arms around her, preventing her from going forward.

Zhong Weiwei untied the long whip slowly, and moved forward step by step.

Twenty steps, ten steps, everyone was holding their hearts together, King Qi, Taishi Wei, and Chonghua had cold sweat on their hands, fearing that something unexpected would happen again.

Zhong Weiwei stopped suddenly: "How do I know if the hostages you sent back are real? I want to roll their names and verify their authenticity!"

King Qi was furious: "This cunning bitch!"

Seeing that he was about to succeed, Grand Master Wei forced himself to be calm: "Just order it, but some people are seriously ill and injured, and their personnel affairs are unknown, how can we find out?"

Zhong Weiwei said: "Let the people around him answer for him!"

She took out a roll of roster from her bosom, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "Everyone, listen well, when you hear my name, just squeak! If someone around you is seriously injured and sick and cannot answer, please also take his place." Squeak! I've called the name, stand to the right."

In this way, wouldn't his plan be leaked?Grand Master Wei shouted: "What if someone doesn't answer on purpose? Don't they let you slaughter me?"

Zhong Weiwei ignored him at all, and started to roll call: "Yang Lu!"

Yang Lu cried and agreed.

Zhong Weiwei then ordered the lives of other children. Except for two who did not respond, the others were still alive.She began to call the adults by name: "Han Yun!"

A child cried and said: "Han Pavilion Master is dead."

Zhong Weiwei gritted her teeth and called again: "Nan Xiaoqiao!"

Nan Xiaoqiao replied weakly, and told her by the way: "Huang Xinchan has passed out, and I am with him."

"Chen Shaoming!" A deep male voice said: "He passed out, stay with me."

Zhong Weiwei felt that he had never heard this voice before, and said, "Where are you? Raise your hand... let me see."

Countless pairs of eyes looked towards the place where the voice came out, and the crowd automatically parted, revealing a stretcher and two strong men carrying the stretcher.

There was a person lying on the stretcher with a long robe draped over his body. Only his chin was exposed on his face, and it was impossible to see who it was.

Zhong Weiwei asked the two men: "Who are you? Why haven't you seen them before?"

The two men said: "We are from nearby people, we came here to take refuge."

Grand Master Wei gritted his teeth, and whispered to his subordinates: "If you are exposed, just shoot the arrow! If you die, you will pull a few backs!"

Zhong Weiwei didn't seem to notice anything strange, and quickly called Qiu Mao by his name: "Qiu Mao?"

It was still the same scene as before, with the people on the stretcher huddled together, their faces buried in their arms, life and death unknown.

Zhong Weiwei sighed: "It seems very ill. Jian Wu?"

A woman with disheveled hair said hoarsely, "I'm..."

Zhong Weiwei glanced at "Jian Wu", and instead of naming the guards of the "Zhi" brand, he called the names of the servants of the Fang Tea Pavilion. This time, he answered neatly, but there were seven or eight people who were silent.

At this time, there were still more than 20 hostages staying in the same place, and they shouted loudly: "We are all people who came to take refuge nearby, you will not ignore us, will you?"

There are no women, children, old and weak, only young and middle-aged men, how can there be any refugees!
Zhong Weiwei basically grasped the situation, Jian Wu, Chen Shaoming, Qiu Mao, and the guards of the "Zhi" brand had accidents, either they were no longer there, or they were still in the hands of Wei Taishi and others.

She put away the roster and said sharply: "Let these more than 20 people go back! Otherwise, we won't talk about it!"
