Confused country poison concubine

Chapter 169 The truth (1)
If that guy hadn't stopped the adults in the room, they would have returned to the East Bank as planned!

To actually sleep with an adult in his arms all day is simply shameless!
Yuan Ze looked at him blankly, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about, Zhou Yu hit the cotton with his fist, and had no choice but to turn around, and said to Qiu Yebai: "Let's go back first. , I always want to investigate the case here, can't we really leave Mei Xiangzi there?"

Investigate?

A flash of inspiration flashed in Qiu Yebai's mind, then he narrowed his eyes, beckoned Xiao Qi to come over, and then ordered: "Yes, you can go to Li's house with my waist card and tell them that someone gave us a gift early in the morning. A whistleblower note was sent, so we went to look for clues, and we'll be back around dinnertime."

Xiao Qi took the waist card of Chief Supervisor Qian Qian from her, and she was a little confused, so she said authentically: "But Si Shao, didn't you say that when you come out this time, you must never let the Li family know?"

She smiled lightly: "Do you think they don't know that we are tricky when we go out now? What we pay attention to in this matter is a first opportunity, when the time, place and people are in harmony. Since we have a good time, all that is left is to wait and see." We fished quickly in the muddy water, or someone else covered it up quickly."

Since Mei Su didn't stop at the east bank but went directly to the water village, and didn't catch up with her, now it's time to grab a quick word!
Her eyes fell on the huge 'food bag' on Yuan Ze's back, her eyes were cold.

Xiao Qi nodded immediately, turned around and went to Li's residence.

"Go, find a suitable place for people to talk."

After all, she turned around and walked in the other direction.

Both Zhou Yu and Yuan Ze followed immediately.

She found a rather dilapidated and remote inn, asked Xiaoer to open a room, and led the three of them into the room.

After Zhou Yu closed the door, he didn't move. Instead, he stood by the door and looked around vigilantly to see if there were any eavesdroppers. This made Qiu Yebai quite relieved, and looked a bit like a factory guard.

She walked to Yuan Ze's side, Yuan Ze had already taken off the burden on his body, shook the burden to the ground, and immediately rolled out a large fat white meat ball!
Or rather—a man as fat and white as a ball.

The man was covered in bloodstains, and he was in a terrible state of distress, but actually the wounds were not too deep, but when he fell to the ground, he acted motionless as if he had passed out.

Qiu Yebai looked at the figure on the ground, and said with a half-smile: "Is the head of Qiongqi Village so deceitful, or all the people in Qiongqi Village are masters of martial arts, old partridge, you Not from Qiongqizhai at all, huh?"

What she asked Aze to bring back was not any food at all, but a person, the poor and indebted head of the house—the old partridge, the fat figure paused, then turned his head, looking at Qiuye Bai with a pale face His eyes were full of begging: "Fourth Young Master, spare your life."

Qiu Yebai opened the stool, sat down with her legs crossed, looked at the old partridge in front of her with a half-smile and said, "Don't be afraid, old partridge, since I can get you out of the ladle handle, I will naturally I had no intention of killing you."

During that scuffle, Shu Jin was hit by a sword, and she was already on the verge of death. She didn't know if she could survive after being brought out, so she simply asked Zhou Yu and the others to knock out the old partridge who had hid in a cabinet at the beginning of the battle. come out.

Lin Piao was so busy at the other end of the handle that he probably only thought that the old partridge was hiding. He didn't expect that she would let Yuan Ze carry the old partridge out in a fair manner. Most people saw Yuan Ze's back He only thought that the big bag he was carrying was food.

At this time, who would dare to stop the 'Master of Nocturnal Nomads' from leaving with the food he alms?

The old partridge took a peek at Qiu Yebai, and apologized in a low voice: "Fourth Young Master, you... what are you doing with me, I... I don't seem to have offended you, it's Shu Jin who offended you!"

Qiu Yebai waved his hand and interrupted his words: "Let me ask you, who is Shu Jin? How can there be so many top-notch inner masters in a small village? You Qiongqi Village is the one who came after he came. , did it suddenly expand rapidly?”

She was so straightforward that the old partridge was stunned, and then he said honestly: "Shu Jin picked it up when he went out to pick up the goods next time. He was seriously injured, and the whole family was kidnapped by corrupt officials." kill……"

"So after you saved him, did he repay your kindness and help you expand your territory?" Qiu Yebai interrupted him again, looking at him with a sneer: "Old partridge, if I want to hear your nonsense, just won't get you out."

She lowered her head, leaned in front of him, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Although I didn't intend to kill you, if I can't get the answer I want, then I have to send you back to Lin Piao, presumably You Qiongqizhai made such a thing, Lin Piao must really need someone to sacrifice the black flag, let others see, what will happen to those who dare to disobey him?"

"Sacrificing the black flag", as soon as the three words came out, the old partridge's expression changed drastically, and he was sweating profusely.

The so-called sacrifice to the black flag is that once a traitor appears on the road who betrays the ladle, if the traitor can pull the ladle off the horse, that’s all. The water altar was cut out, the heart was cut open and the liver was fed to the fish, so as to warn the ghosts.

When the old partridge used to be a boatman, although no one was willing to marry him because he was too poor, he later became a member of the water ghosts and the leader of his own group of water ghosts, married two wives and concubines, and survived A pair of children were born.

Hearing what Qiu Yebai said, he just thought about it, and immediately his liver and gallbladder burst. Yes, what happened last night was like a rebellious ladle. When Lin Surfing was free, he would definitely not let him go.

Seeing the old partridge's face turning green and then pale, Qiu Yebai said lightly: "If you tell the truth, I can still persuade Lin Piao to save your family's life."

Qiu Yebai's words sparked a glimmer of hope in the old partridge's heart, he hesitated for a long time, Qiu Yebai looked at his face full of struggle, and was not in a hurry, just leaned back on the back of the chair calmly.

"Old partridge, you only have fifteen minutes to think about it, and I don't have much patience."

The old partridge seemed to have made up his mind, looked at Qiu Yebai and said, "Fourth Young Master Ye, what I want to say involves a lot, if... can you really save my family!"

Qiu Yebai chuckled lightly: "You don't have to believe me, it's fine."

After finishing speaking, she got up and left, and at the same time told Zhou Yu: "Zhou Yu, let someone inform Lin Piao."

Zhou Yu nodded: "Yes!"

The old partridge turned pale with shock, and immediately rushed forward, hugged Qiu Yebai's thigh, and shouted with snot and tears: "Fourth Young Master, Fourth Young Master, don't, I say, I say!"
