Chapter 114

In recent days, the scenery of Yucheng has changed rapidly.

First, the Qi family was taken into custody, and then the Wen family was burned to death. The rapid changes in the situation make people pale. People are in danger. It seems that it will be their turn next second.

These days, the voices of vegetable sellers in Yucheng market are much lower.

Walking in the most chaotic streets of Yucheng, vendors on both sides whispered about what had happened these days.

Because Qian Yu blocked the news of the Wen family, people only knew that the owner of the Wen family was burned to death, but they didn't know the reason. Some people speculated that it was probably the previous actions of the Wen family that offended the blood lotus sect, resulting in the retaliation of the blood lotus sect.

This remark came from the mouth of rich businessmen. After all, there was the example of the Qiao family in Feicheng. It seemed that everything was naturally put on the head of the blood lotus sect.

"You say, when will you ask to kill the Third Master of Qi?" A vendor gnashed his teeth and said, "even if this Qi San is rich and unkind, he is going to die and has to pull the above member as a cushion. Why didn't such a person be accepted by God earlier."

Another person sighed fiercely: "heaven has no eyes. Such a good man outside the clerk died like this, but Qi San is still alive. God is really unfair."

"I heard that someone is going to overturn the case for Third Master Qi."

"Who? Such an immoral person has nothing to overturn. Let him die early!"

"Yes, it's better to die. If you don't have any virtue, you will run rampant in the countryside."

"..." the people talked a lot.

Yi Xiaoqiao held a white lotus root and listened to their comments. His eyebrows frowned tightly.

"Young master, it seems that the Third Master Qi has committed public anger." The peach whispered.

Yi Xiaoqiao nodded and didn't say much. He handed the lotus root to the little brother who bought vegetables to weigh and pay. He was calm as if he didn't hear anything.

Peach followed Yi Xiaoqiao with her basket. When she saw that she bought some here and there, her basket was soon full.

They walked back with baskets. As soon as they got near the door, they saw a man talking to Tian Xiang at the door. It was a woman in coarse clothes. She held two children in her hand and kept praying for Tian Xiang.

"I beg you, girl. Just let me meet childe Qiao. I really have something important to discuss with her. I beg you."

"Sorry, the young master has really gone out and hasn't come back yet." Tian Xiang looked sorry.

"What's up?" Yi Xiaoqiao came forward and she looked at the woman.

The lady was dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and her black hair was held by a Jing hairpin. She didn't apply powder and Dai, and she didn't sweep her eyebrows, but she had a natural calm temperament, but her tight frown showed a little anxiety.

Yi Xiaoqiao looked at her vaguely familiar. Looking at the two children she was holding, he had a general guess in his heart and frowned.

Indeed, Tian Xiang replied, "young master, this is the first wife of Third Master Qi. I'm looking for you."

"Mr. Qiao, you want to save my master..." Mrs. Qi said and was about to kneel down.

Yi Xiaoqiao hurriedly helped her: "madam, you don't have to do this big gift. Please say something at home."

Peach grabbed Yi Xiaoqiao and shook his head. The Third Master Qi's affairs have not been decided by the yamen, and they can't take care of them.

Yi Xiaoqiao gave her a reassuring look and made an inviting gesture: "come with me."

Mrs. Qi looked around and dragged her two children into the door with Yi Xiaoqiao.

Yi Xiaoqiao and Mrs. Qi did it on the stone bench under the tree.

Tian Xiang served tea. Yi Xiaoqiao took out many small snacks he had just bought and gave them to the two children. The two children looked young, but they were very clever and sensible. When they got snacks, they ran to one side and sat down to eat without disturbing them.

Yi Xiaoqiao took a sip of tea and said, "what's the matter with Mrs. Qi looking for me?"

Mrs. Qi slowly raised her eyes and looked at her. Suddenly, she knelt down and crawled on the ground: "please help my master, childe Qiao."

When she said this, the two children also ran over and knelt at Yi Xiaoqiao's feet: "please help your father, childe Qiao."

Yi Xiaoqiao frowned and said after a while, "the Yamen will naturally give a public opinion on the matter of Third Master Qi. I'm afraid it's useless for you to ask me."

Mrs. Qi slowly raised her eyes, already full of tears, as if she hadn't heard her words. She explained: "although my master seems cruel, he is actually a very honest man. He never takes advantage of others, let alone colludes with the blood lotus sect to plot treason. He would never do such a thing."

"This is only one side of Mrs. Qi's words."

"It doesn't hurt if you don't believe me, young master Qiao. You can go to the border barracks and even the Yamen to ask. My master donates money and goods to them every year. My master sometimes does things very unkindly, but my master always knows what's right and wrong. He meant to serve the country, but his two brothers died one after another, leaving no children and a half. That's why At the request of my mother-in-law, I stay at home and manage the family. My master always respects the soldiers most. How could he do such a thing as treason! "

Mrs. Qi spoke earnestly and knelt down in her direction for two steps, pinching the corner of her clothes: "childe Qiao, I know you are a reasonable person. Please help my master. If I can protect him, I will be an ox and a horse and serve childe Qiao all my life."

Yi Xiaoqiao was startled and quickly waved his hand: "no need."

"Young master Qiao..."

"If you say so, the Yamen must also have the donation certificate of Third Master Qi. In that case, as long as third master Qi sits upright, there will be no problem. Mrs. Qi really doesn't need to ask me."

"Childe Qiao doesn't know anything." Mrs. Qi burst into tears: "I don't know where the master offended the Yamen. The Yamen bit him to death. The master colluded with the blood lotus sect and said that he had been put in death row. There is no doubt that he will die. We are not allowed to visit."

"Into death row?" Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes shrink. How is this possible!

"Yes." Mrs. Qi said miserably.

Peach winked at Yi Xiaoqiao, gently shook his head and went to the death row. This is not what they can manage. Not to mention that Yi Xiaoqiao didn't have that power. Even if there was, it made it clear that someone in the court wanted to kill Qi Sanye. How could she be right with the court? Even if Mu Yian wants to do this, he must think twice.

Yi Xiaoqiao doesn't know this. What's more, she has been discovered by Qian Yu. Her disguise has long been difficult to protect herself. If Qian Yu really commits the crime of bullying the monarch with her, she will have to fall on her head. Now she can't hide from Qian Yu, let alone tell him about it. This is to go up and die.

"Mrs. Qi, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Mrs. Qi suddenly raised her head: "why? Childe Qiao knows that the person who colludes with the blood lotus sect is not my master. Why do you stand idly by?"

Yi Xiaoqiao frowned: "what does Mrs. Qi mean?"

Mrs. Qi got up slowly, and her eyes gradually became positive: "I know that the person who colludes with the blood lotus sect is Wenzheng."

Yi Xiaoqiao raised his eyes and looked at her: "Mrs. Qi, there is evidence for this."

"Although I'm a woman, I'm not stupid. Although you blocked the news about the literati, as long as you want to know, there are always traces to follow. You're not a childe, you're a girl, but you don't know whether the gentleman knows or not."

Yi Xiaoqiao stood up: "you threaten me?"

"Childe Qiao, everyone is the same, but they all want to live. My master didn't do this, but he had to die unjustly and even bear a curse. On the contrary, he is the person who really did it, but he can still remember it for future generations and even praise it constantly. Childe Qiao, do you think it's fair!"

"It's not fair, but it's not fair for you to threaten me. I can't protect myself now. What qualifications do I have to save people?" Yi Xiaoqiao thinks she is really innocent. I don't know what Mrs. Qi likes about her. She thinks she can save Third Master Qi. Is she wearing a halo on her head or looks like the Savior!

"Childe Qiao, if you don't want to save me, I'll make your identity public!"

Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes shrink, her identity? What identity? Is it a woman or... Mrs. muyian?

She really doesn't care about a woman's identity. Anyway, Qian Yu already knows it. Even if it is published, it's not a big deal, but Mrs. Mu Yi'an's identity is very difficult. Qian Yu has a prejudice against Mu Yi'an. You can see that he sees Mu Yi'an very unhappy. Maybe he's waiting to catch their pigtails. If it is published, She and muyian have to die without a burial place.

Yi Xiaoqiao's hands clenched into fists. Her fingernails pierced deeply into the palm of her hand and forced herself to be calm. She raised her head and said ambiguously, "you don't have to announce it. Childe Jun has already guessed that your threat has no deterrent. I advise Mrs. Qi to go back. If you have time to beg me, you might as well go up and down to make it faster for Mr. Qi to go."

She finished, brushed her sleeves and left.

"Well, since you don't help me, I can only go with the master."

Yi Xiaoqiao stepped and looked back. Mrs. Qi was holding scissors against her neck.

"Mother!" The two children jumped at Mrs. Qi's feet, hugged her legs and sobbed: "Mom..."

Mrs. Qi's eyes were red. She stared at Yi Xiaoqiao fiercely and gnashed her teeth: "heaven has no eyes to hurt my master. You're not a good man to help tyranny. If you don't care about us, my family will die here today, so that you won't have peace forever!"

The two children took out the dagger and put it against their throat.

Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes narrowed and his face sank.
