Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 67
"Girl," Ami bit her lip, holding the soup bowl in her hand, but didn't pass it over, "I heard, Zhan Zhao, he's gone?"

"Ah."

"Will the girl let him go to investigate the case of Vice President Yu?"

Duanmucui's complexion sank, he didn't eat any more of the pot, and he slapped his chopsticks on the desk, ready to speak...

"who?"

"There are assassins!"

Amidst the noise, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.Duanmucui's complexion changed slightly, and she quickly lifted the curtain to leave the tent.Ami knew something was wrong, she pressed the simple knife with her hand, and followed closely behind.

In the center of the field in front of the tent, more than a dozen guards formed a circle, with their halberds in their hands pointing at the two people in the center of the field.

It's a bit biased to say it's two people, because one of them is heavily tied up, with sebu in his mouth, hideous eyes, whining sound, head and face covered in blood, it's Gao Bojian's servant She Changchengqi.

As for the other...

The night wind is hunting, the robe is turned blue, the thin lips are tightly pressed, and the starry eyes are like torches.

Duanmucui's face was cold, but the smile in his heart faded away.

Zhan Zhao, he actually came back again.

"As for the murder of Vice President Yudu, General Duanmu and General Gao Bojian are also invited to jointly interrogate this person."

Zhan Zhao's voice was not loud, but there was an undeniable strength in the silence, and the words were distinct.

In the night, his eyes were clear and deep, piercing through the thin night mist, lingering with Duanmucui's eyes, retreating as soon as he touches them.

Duanmucui's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she whispered to Ami: "Please, General Gao."

When Ami went to Zhigao Bojian's camp, he only said that General Duanmu had invited him, but did not leak too much information.I'm afraid Gao Bojian thought that Duanmucui wanted to invite him to dinner, his face was red and excited, and he asked Ami about his problems along the way, very earnestly.Mr. Qiu Shan followed behind with a feather fan. As a think tank, he was not as blindly optimistic as Gao Bojian. After thinking about it, he always felt that Duanmucui's "invitation" was strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Gao Bojian didn't realize that the situation was wrong until he entered the main account.But seeing halberds and guards lined up on both sides, Duanmucui sat behind the elevated main case, Zhi Yi bowed his head, his expression indifferent, when he heard the footsteps approaching, he knew it was Gao Bojian and the others, but he didn't even lift his eyelids.Gao Bojian was about to speak, when Mr. Qiu Shan suddenly touched his elbow with his hand, and made a gesture with his mouth towards the kneeling man in front of the desk.

This kneeling man...

Gao Bojian looked familiar, and couldn't remember his name for a while, but he knew it was from his own battalion by looking at his attire.Gao Bojian's heart skipped a beat: Well behaved, he invited himself over, and there was a guard under his banner kneeling in the tent...

While thinking this way, he glanced at the other person kneeling beside him, and saw that the person was at most thirteen or fourteen years old, unkempt, and a ragged boy.

Ami quickly walked to Duanmucui's side, and said in a low voice: "Girl, General Gao has arrived, is this the trial?"

Duanmucui shook her head: "Wait for Zhan Zhao to come back."

Ami was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Zhan Zhao was not in the tent, and wondered: Didn't Zhan Zhao bring Cheng Qidu back, and why did he go out again?
It was not easy to ask more questions for a while, so I had to retreat in response and invite Gao Bojian to take a seat.Under Mr. Qiu Shan's repeated "reminders", Gao Bojian finally remembered that the kneeling person was the servant of the camp. Chang Chengqi felt like sitting on pins and needles for a while, because he thought: Chengqi said that day that he knew Vice President Yu's Where is the head, and you still lead people to look for it. It is said that you have made meritorious service, so how can you be bound in front of the tent?Could it be a lie?What a shame, this is a great embarrassment, offending General Duanmu, how will he show his face in front of the prime minister in the future?
The future was at stake, and I was worried, and I was sighing in my heart, when I suddenly felt the curtain was raised, and when I looked up, a man in blue with clear eyebrows was striding in.Because his attire was rare, Gao Bojian couldn't help but take a second look.

Zhan Zhao went straight to the place in front of the case, and nodded slightly to Duanmucui.Duanmucui understood, nodded slightly, and said lightly: "As you requested, I have invited General Gao Bojian to my account. You pointed out that Chengqi was related to Yudu's death. Let me tell you the reason."

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, and pointed to the slovenly boy who was kneeling on the ground: "This boy's name is Qi Ze, and he is a servant of the Qi Mu family." After Yu Bi turned to look at Qi Ze, he said gently, "Qi Ze, what will you do that night?" Let me tell you what happened from the beginning.”

Shocked and frightened, Qi Ze recounted what happened that night one by one: how he entered Qimu Yiluo's room and pretended to sleep, how he was taken away with his head in a sack, how he was questioned on the way , Zhan Zhao how to rescue, how to get rid of, although not very clear, it is very detailed.As for the person who asked questions on the way, if you ask him carefully about his appearance, you will know that it is the capital of Yu.

At the end of the speech, Gao Bojian didn't know why, he just thought that his subordinates had plundered wantonly and violated Jiang Ziya's taboo. His forehead was sweating for a while, and he was about to say a few words when Duanmucui said in a deep voice: "So, you When he left, Yu Du was only injured, not dead at all?"

Qi Ze didn't realize who "Yu Du" was for a while, and was in a daze when he heard Zhan Zhao's voice: "Exactly."

"And then?" Duanmucui said calmly, "This is not enough to prove that you didn't kill Yudu."

Zhan Zhao seemed to have expected that Duanmucui would ask this question, so he took his time and smiled lightly: "Perhaps it would be better for Cheng Qi to explain what happened next."

While speaking, he took a step forward and reached out to tear Sebu off his mouth.

Cheng Qi couldn't speak before, his body was shaking like a sieve, now that Sebu has been removed, his eyes are full of hatred, he suddenly kneels a few steps forward, and kowtows to Duanmucui like pounding garlic: "General Mingjian, the little one is Innocent."

Duanmucui sneered, but she didn't look at him, she just stared at Zhan Zhao: "When you say let him speak, do you want him to complain?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Cheng Qi, and his tone was surprisingly calm, not sullen: "How did you kill the vice president of Yudu? When I asked you just now, didn't you confess everything? Why are you denying it now?"

Cheng Qi's eyes were red, and he hissed: "Just now you threatened my life, and under the threat of heavy punishment, I naturally confessed in order to save my life. Now that it is before the general's case, I don't believe that you confessed in front of the general. If you dare to kill people at will, you must ask the general to uphold justice."

No matter how stupid Gao Bojian was, he could tell something was wrong at this moment.You must know that although robbing women is disliked by Jiang Ziya, it is not a heinous crime after all, but killing Yudu means enmity with Duanmuying. He absolutely didn't want to be charged with the crime, so he was furious for a moment, and angrily scolded Zhan Zhao: "Who are you? Threatening Chengqi to admit to killing Yudu, blaming me on Gao Bojian's camp, and trying to provoke the relationship between the two camps, how hateful it is!" !"

Ami saw Chengqi biting and climbing like a mad dog, Gao Bojian being aggressive, and Zhan Zhao was gentle, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly: Zhan Zhao really has too little experience, he is so credulous and unsuspecting, how can he win the fight? A vicious person like Cheng Qi?Alas, I don't know how to help him now, I don't know whether the girl believes in him or becomes a beggar...

When thinking this way, she couldn't help but look at Duanmucui.Duanmucui was holding up the tea bowl on the table, and slowly sticking it to her lips, taking a leisurely sip, her sleeves slipped slightly, revealing a wrist like jade, long eyelashes like a fan, casting a soft glow on the lower eyelid. Shadow, with a rare peaceful expression, doesn't know what she is thinking.

Zhan Zhao sneered, and stuffed Sebu back into Cheng Qi's mouth.Cheng Qi shook his head desperately and struggled, and there was a whooping sound from the bottom of his throat.Gao Bojian was so angry that he almost jumped up from his chair: "You, who are you? You are so arrogant, do you, you, do you still have a leader in your eyes?"

Zhan Zhao's face turned cold, and the sharp look in his eyes flourished: "Sit down, general, there is more to say!"

Gao Bojian's heart shuddered, and he was forced to retreat by the cold look in Zhan Zhao's eyes. Seeing that Duanmucui was still enjoying tea tasting, he knew it was not good for him to speak again, so he could only speak slowly. Sitting back to his original position, he did not forget to whisper angrily: "It's outrageous, it's really outrageous!"

Zhan Zhao winked to the left and right, and then a halberd guard came over and took Cheng Qi to a dark place in the corner of the main tent, and moved a curtain to cover Cheng Qi.Ami only thought that Duanmucui knew about it long ago, and when she saw the doubt in her eyes, she realized that it was all arranged by Zhan Zhao.

Seeing that everything has been tidied up here, Zhan Zhao walked a few steps towards the tent door, and said loudly, "Bring it in."

The halberd guards outside the tent got the order, and they heard the sound of footsteps going away. After a while, the sound of chaotic footsteps gradually approached, the curtain was raised, and several people came in.

After seeing the attire of these people clearly, Gao Bojian immediately had a big head like a bucket: What happened to him today, and why is he the guard under his head again?

The eyes of those people were flustered, pushing and shoving, just before they reached the case, they heard Zhan Zhao sternly said: "Brave maniac, now the servant of General Gao's battalion has shot Chang Cheng begging to sue you, don't hurry up!" Hurry up and bring out the fact that you and the others robbed women at night and were killed after being smashed by Yu Du, the vice commander of the Duanmu Camp!"

With a loud shout, Shi Potian was startled, those people were stunned for a moment, and then their faces turned gray.In the dead silence, a person suddenly fell to his knees with a plop, and slammed his head on the ground: "General Mingjian, the murder of Vice-Tong Yu was all done by the Chief Servant, and has nothing to do with the subordinates!"

So far, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that the facts of this case are more or less clear.

Ami beamed with joy, and whispered to Duanmucui: "Girl, Zhan Zhao is really smart."

"Really?" Duanmucui remained calm, without raising his eyebrows, "It's just clever."

Ami was not convinced, but soon, the surging joy in his heart drowned out such a little bit of dissatisfaction.She looked at Zhan Zhao with unusually bright eyes, and there were many inexplicable emotions in her eyes.

Gao Bojian was dripping with cold sweat, and continued to talk to Mr. Qiushan, his voice was almost inaudible: "Sir, sir, you can help me..."

Mr. Qiu Shan stopped shaking his fan, wishing he could shrink his head into his stomach—although he has always boasted that he has great wisdom, but there are times when great wisdom is useless, right?

Duanmucui's fingers lightly stroked the engraved lines on the outer edge of the tea bowl. If she was angry, it should be the moment when she heard the news of Yudu's death.She is now thinking about what to do if she wants to become a beggar.The matter involves Gao Bojian's camp, how can she relieve her anger without hurting her peace?

When she raised her eyes, she already had a plan in mind.

"General Gao."

Gao Bojian was terrified by her gentle tone: in his impression, Duanmucui had never been so polite to him.

"How should I put it, Cheng Qi is also the chief servant of your camp, and it is inconvenient for us in the Duanmu camp to manage too much..."

Gao Bojian was at a loss: "Cheng beg... This, harming the vice president of Yudu, is an unforgivable crime. How to be punished depends on General Duanmu's order..."

"General Gao doesn't know something," Duanmu Cui said carefully, "I'm here in Anyi, and the Prime Minister told me to do something else, so I really don't have time to be distracted. Since there are clues to the Yudu case, I want to ask General Gao to take care of the aftermath. "

"Since that's the case, I'm willing to share the worries of General Duanmu." Duanmu Cui's words reached this point, although Gao Bojian was in the cloud, but he answered very simply.

Mr. Qiu Shan slowly came to his senses.

Duanmucui killed two birds with one stone by doing so.

Firstly, she gave Gao Bojian enough steps to go down the stairs, and made it clear that she would not have any grudges with Gao Bojian because of Chengqi's matter. With this promise, I will definitely do my best in the aftermath section.As for how to deal with the aftermath, it is natural that Duanmucui will be more satisfied with Chengqi's end.If he becomes a beggar, I'm afraid it would be better if he is willing to fall into the hands of Duanmucui.

It's just that Gao Bojian was ignorant and hadn't figured out the mystery. Mr. Qiu Shan sighed: It seems that after returning to the camp, he still needs to give more advice.

In the huge army tent, there was another person who also penetrated Duanmucui's mind.

Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao has never liked such overt and secret thoughts tossing around, step by step, although he understands Duanmucui's position in his position, but he can't control the growing disappointment in his heart.

Although Duanmucui's inquiry about the "Blood Forged Giant Que" made him sure that the person in front of him was the one he was looking for, but it was obvious that this General Duanmu was far from the Duanmucui he knew.

It's not that she is bad, on the contrary, Duanmucui's many behaviors convinced him.She is cautious, cautious, not credulous, and considers the overall situation. She has the bravery of a warrior but does not lose her wit. If he were Jiang Ziya, he would be happy to see Duanmucui worshiping the general.

However, all of this will only make him feel more unfamiliar and disappointed, and make him miss the Duanmu girl with whom he used to talk and laugh even more.

The corners of Zhan Zhao's eyes were a little warm, and he closed them slightly.

Duanmucui seems to be in sight.

She was dressed in an emerald green shirt, proud of herself, bullying the bowl, while Xiao Qinghua stood beside her with tears in her eyes...

She frowned and opened her mouth: "Zhan Zhao, it's not good to be the father of your emperor..."

She smiled meaningfully: "Zhan Zhao, with two more blushes on your face, I don't know how many girls you will be fascinated by..."

She begged him pitifully: "Zhan Zhao, save me next time, don't throw me around like a ball, my internal organs are almost knocked out..."

Zhan Zhao Zhan Zhao Zhan Zhao, every sound was her calling him.

"Zhan Zhao!"

With a stern shout, Zhan Zhao's whole body trembled, he pulled himself out of the trance, and when he looked up, Duanmucui was right in front of him.

She looked a little displeased and looked at him coldly.

Looking around, Gao Bojian and his party, two rows of halberd guards, and even Ami have all retreated completely.

He was so dazed that he didn't even notice what was going on around him. If someone took advantage of this to attack him, he would have died thousands of times already.

Zhan Zhao secretly sighed, tried his best to calm down all kinds of things in his heart, and calmly met Duan Mucui's gaze: "What advice does the general have?"

"I'm asking you," Duanmucui said slowly, "you have already escaped, why did you come back?"

Zhan Zhao suddenly laughed.

"Didn't the general think I was a spy?"

"As a secret agent, you must cover up and do all kinds of tricks in front of others, so as to deceive the general's trust, and you will definitely not escape, right?"

Duanmucui's eyes gradually turned cold: "Zhan Zhao, no one dares to speak to me in such a tone."

"That's because they are all afraid of you. You have a high position and power, and you can take life or death."

"Aren't you afraid?" Duanmucui sneered, "I know what you're thinking, you escaped from my hands during the day, you thought you could come and go freely, and you wouldn't be coerced by me, so you dare to act presumptuously in front of me, right?"

The words were cold and aggressive, Zhan Zhao frowned, forced himself to suppress his displeasure, and said indifferently, "Don't dare."

"Of course you don't dare." Duanmucui stared into Zhan Zhao's eyes, and slowly pulled out the piercing lotus flower from her waist. Weird Shadow, "Because something like this will never happen a second time."

Zhan Zhao was about to be irritated, his slender fingers tightly grasped the Juque sword hilt, the veins on the back of his hand were faintly visible.

She still wants to fight!

It's not that he doesn't understand Duanmucui's character of never admitting defeat, and he also thought that his escape during the day would be tantamount to giving Duanmucui a resounding slap in the face: under the eyes of everyone, the dignified coach of Duanmuying couldn't catch a nameless generation!
He was just lucky, and he thought that Duanmucui could get a little idea of ​​his intentions by going back and forth and all the efforts he had made for the Yudu case—he had absolutely no malice, at least, don't use that kind of scrutiny and Suspicious eyes looked at him coldly.

For a moment, he almost thought he had succeeded, because she cooperated with him calmly and allowed him to take someone to Gaobojian camp to capture Chengqi's accomplice, and she would never interfere when Chengqi was being interrogated, and let him follow suit. To act according to plan, even if the plan is hidden from her.

He thought it was a rare tacit understanding between the two, and even secretly comforted himself for this tacit understanding, until this moment, it was as if ice water had been poured on his head.

The fire of anger that was used and teased burst into flames in an instant.

What is this, all the birds are hiding?Rabbit dead dog cooking?Just now, all her calmness was just for the sake of the Yudu case to come to light, and now her wish has been fulfilled, and she settled the old score with him again?

Or is it not to recalculate the old debt, since the moment he escaped, she has been thinking about getting back the debt with interest, right?Her Andrographis has been thirsty for his neck blood for a long time.

Zhan Zhao felt more tired than ever.
