The villain is far from my CP!

Another day has passed in Jiangdu government office.

Qi Changting woke up for a while in the morning, and originally wanted to get up and rush to Zhongli County, but found that he couldn't even stand up.

He had been seriously ill since the death of his mother and concubine. Over the years, he practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, and minor illnesses and pains are not common.

Instead, the old saying goes: If you don’t get sick all the time, you have to save a lot.

"Please, Your Highness, Miss Bai will be accompanied by her elder brother, she will be safe and sound." He Cheng tried to persuade him with all kinds of rhetoric.

Qi Changting stopped his movements when he heard the words, with a complicated expression on his face.

He really wanted to kill Bai Xiao at the beginning, until he received the nomination certificate and learned that on the day of paying the "final payment for raising food", Bai Qiao was able to rush back from outside the city, mostly because Bai Xiao released the water.

The world is especially difficult for women, Bai Xiaoneng supports Baiqiao to go to the Eastern Capital, and is even willing to...

Qi Changting couldn't help taking a breath.

Such connivance is exactly the same as that person treated him back then.

At noon, it was time to drink medicine again.

He Cheng was very excited, and described in detail how Bai Qiao tricked him into taking the medicine, including the words he said to coax him.

After all, this proves that Qi Changting is not unable to drink medicine physically, but the psychological shadow left by the empress back then.

Now that the first time has been overcome, will the second time be far behind?

After Qi Changting listened, he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

What he thought was completely different from He Cheng.

It turned out that those words were not hallucinations.

——"Think about those who care about you, think about those who are still waiting for you."

Who is this talking about?

Who cares about me, do you?

To put it nicely, in reality, they just met by chance and exchanged the benefits they needed.

Didn't she say it herself, businessmen are only looking for profit.

Qi Changting suddenly felt depressed.

"Master?" He Cheng's voice sounded.

Qi Changting came back to his senses, a little surprised.

What kind of weird thing is he thinking about? Of course, he and Bai Qiao have what they need, so what else can they have?

Even if, even if the girl seems to be interested in herself for the time being, after she goes to Dongdu, sees the world, and knows that with her ability, she can get what she wants without doing so, she will not go to him I gathered around.

Ah, stop thinking about it!

The corners of the young man's lips were tightened, and he spat at himself.

"He Cheng, bring the medicine." He changed the topic calmly.

"Yes!" He Cheng was so excited that his tone changed, Qi Changting was so lucky that he was willing to give it a try!

While carefully bringing the medicine bowl over, he continued to babble: "Miss Bai also said, you use this reed tube to suck and drink the medicine, and put the medicine directly into your throat, it won't be so bitter."

Qi Changting glanced at him, and waved him to take the straw away.

Will he be afraid of suffering?

The medicine is still the same medicine, sour and bitter, even if you hold your breath, the taste engraved in your memory is still unbearable.

The young man pressed the purse in his hand to the tip of his nose, took a few deep breaths, then raised his neck and swallowed the brown-black decoction whole.

In the purse were fresh mint leaves. In order to let him drink the medicine, Baiqiao even sent the pot of mint she raised to his room directly.

He also finally learned the name of this plant.

Mint.

The combination of these two words is weird, and I can't find the source in my memory, but somehow I feel that it is as refreshing as that smell, and as transparent as that woman.

Qi Changting was thinking wildly, when the last layer of medicine dregs was left in the bowl, his hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold the bowl.

The young man leaned back on the soft couch, holding his stomach in one hand, and swallowed the acidic water in his mouth with a sideways movement.

Can't spit.

Yes, you can!

The nightmarish memory was like a drowsy night, crazily impacting his brain with the smell of soup.

But it's different.

The refreshing and sweet smell always lingers on the nose, penetrating every inch of the senses little by little.

In the dark night, the long and pointed golden armor protruded, and at this moment, it gradually turned into a girl's slender and shiny fingers, lightly touching his cheek.

The nails on the fingertips were white and pink, and a small crescent moon fell at the end, and they gave him a light hook, making people want to kiss him with the softest lips.

I don't know if the medicine prescribed by the doctor has the ingredients of soothing the nerves and helping sleep, Qi Changting fell into a drowsy sleep with sweat all over his face.

Holding the almost empty medicine bowl, He Cheng raised his hand to wipe his reddened eye sockets.

I drank it, but didn't vomit.

Finally, can the events of that year pass away slowly?

He took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, helped Qi Changting lie down, tucked in the quilt, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered another thing.

Before Baiqiao left, besides bringing the mysterious plant over, he also sent a food box. It was said that it was a sweet food found everywhere in Jiangdu City. Bitter but good.

If Qi Changting is awake, he will definitely disdain this kind of delicate sweets, and will never put it in his mouth.

He Cheng took down the food box on the shelf and opened it, took out a small piece of crabapple cake that melted in the mouth, thought for a while, approached the bed, stuffed it into the boy's mouth secretly, and left contentedly.

What He Cheng didn't know was that Qi Changting woke up in the middle of the afternoon, smacked his lips, turned his head and saw the food box next to the pillow.

He pursed his lips in disgust.

However, for the next two quarters of an hour, the young man was leaning on the soft couch, holding the scroll in his left hand, but couldn't help but glance into the small box next to his hand again and again.

Finally, he stretched his waist seemingly unintentionally, "accidentally" touched the box with his right hand, paused, twisted one of the pieces with disdain, looked at it with a frown, and reluctantly put it into his mouth.

The cake powder and sugar stains on his fingers were wiped off on the wet handkerchief beside him, and he picked up the file again.

The corners of the lips were raised into an imperceptible arc.

At the same time, at the Zhongli County Sheriff's Mansion a hundred miles away, the officials came in and out, extremely busy.

But the teahouse was gloomy.

The county magistrate read several documents submitted by the yamen servants, and rubbed the center of his brows tiredly.

Previously, no evidence could be found for even one person, but now the little girl said that there were problems with both of them, how to find out?

On the other side, Bai Qiao was also a little speechless.

At first, she thought that she had opened up a new continent leading to the truth with the help of God, but when she calmed down, she realized that this was just her guess.

She has no proof.

The process of finding evidence is not at all like in the novel, where the detectives sit in front of the suspect, and subtitles will automatically appear next to the clues, but it is an extremely boring and time-consuming task.

Leaving aside the boringness, she didn't need to look for it herself anyway, but time was at the gate of her life.

I thought that if I could find evidence, I wouldn't have to take such risks, but it's a pity...

Bai Qiao made up his mind and raised his eyes to look up at Jun Cheng, "Sir, please let the head catcher who is in charge of verifying the information come to see me. Also, gather people and prepare for promotion."

"Pfft." Jun Cheng narrowly held back the tea he just drank, and coughed repeatedly.

"Ascension, ascension?!"

The little girl has such a big breath!Does she really know what it means to be promoted?

The common people watched and judged the case in public. She still has nothing here, so how can she be promoted? !

Everyone in the squares, cities and alleys of Zhongli County knew that something big had happened recently.

The government keeps saying that if the laborers who build the dam find suspicious people, they will be rewarded, but someone really reported it, but the government can't tell which one is suspicious.

The people couldn't help beating drums in their hearts.

If he was the one who reported the suspicious person and was bitten back by the other party, wouldn't he also have to pay for his life?

Negative sentiment quickly covered the entire county.

In an unremarkable fabric shop in the west of the city, the shopkeeper stroked his beard with a smile after hearing the servant's report.

"It seems that the Third Highness is nothing more than that," he said, looking at the young man standing in the shadow by the door.

The man was tall and straight, with a knife on his waist, and most importantly, he was wearing a dark blue head-catching official robe.

The shopkeeper snorted, raised his chin and said, "The idea you gave me this time is not bad. I have made a great contribution. When I have to enter the Eastern Capital, I will definitely speak well for you in front of that person, and I will also give you a reputation as a Beijing official." .”

The young man just looked at him coldly.

The shopkeeper sneered again, "Don't look at me like this, people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy it, don't you have something to ask for?"

"Last time." The young man's voice was cold.

Probably hearing the unhealedness, the shopkeeper finally calmed down a little, and comforted him: "Okay, I promise, for the last time, after this matter is over, I will let you go."

The young headhunter gave the shopkeeper a final look, turned around and left quickly without saying a word, and disappeared in a flash at the back door of the shop.

He shuttled through the alley, staring at his surroundings vigilantly, and then stopped at the corner of a remote alley on the east side of the shop.

The clear whistle sounded through the sky, and the snow-white dove flapped its wings and landed on his hand, rolled into a small paper strip as thick as a little finger and stuffed into the bamboo tube.

There was a sneer on the corner of the young man's lips.

Do you really think that you want to cooperate with him desperately?

If it wasn't for that eldest prince who couldn't handle the trick, why did he insist on lighting the fire himself.

Now that the feng shui is turning, it is time for the two men to fight with each other, and they will benefit from it.

He raised his hand to send the pigeon back to the sky, and walked quickly to the direction of the government office, but found that the entrance of the government office was surrounded by people who couldn't get through for some reason.

The man thumped in his heart and stopped walking.

Promoted? !

Did they find evidence?But, how could it be possible for him to do it himself!

white bridge.

He suddenly remembered the name.

Ever since the third prince took this person under his command, the eldest prince has never taken advantage of it.

Although his master didn't completely dismiss this person like the eldest prince, he also thought that it was probably just a smoke bomb.

But he was in Huainan, but he vaguely felt that the young woman was really not simple.

Originally intending to walk through the front door, he turned his steps, and turned his eyes to the back door.

At this moment, the county magistrate in the hall was sitting high, and ten yamen servants were separated on both sides, and the water and fire sticks were knocked on the ground, imposing, but the prisoner was not seen.

The people outside the hall whispered.

Just now, a yamen servant posted a notice saying that the case of mutual reporting of laborers was announced today, and everyone gathered, but only saw the majestic majesty of the county magistrate sitting at the head, and they didn't know what they were waiting for.

As everyone knows, the majestic Juncheng looks radiant, but in fact he is so embarrassed that he can't sit still.

If it wasn't for the order of the nobleman in Jiangdu, how could he let a 15-year-old girl mess around.

Jun Cheng resisted the urge to look behind the hall several times, and finally just closed his eyes and rested his mind, out of sight and out of mind.

In a side hall behind the hall, Li Pei knelt and stood uneasy.

He was brought here before half a cup of tea, and the yamen servant undid his shackles, leaving only the shackles, warned him not to make a sound, and threw him here to leave.

He lay cautiously on the door, and after a while, he heard the sound of shackles colliding again. He suspected that it was Zhao Yi——he testified, and also another prisoner who testified against him.

Soon, there were footsteps approaching, he hurriedly took two steps back, and knelt back to the ground.

It's all right, he told himself.

He and Zhao Yi had already confessed, no matter how they asked, the result was the same!

However, he waited in fear for a long while, but the footsteps disappeared, and then, something lightly landed on top of his head.

Li Pei was so startled that he pulled it out and took a look. It was a sheet of letter paper covered with comic strips. Although it was rough, it was...

"!" He threw the paper on the ground as if burning his hands.

Who gave it to him.

How does this person know, he and Zhao Yi are basically accomplices.

How come, what to do!

At this time, another page floated down from above his head.

Even if he couldn't read, he could clearly understand the meaning on the paper.

——The court is just outside the house, and it is already surrounded by people waiting to be promoted. Whoever surrenders himself first will live.

Li Pei stood up almost instantly, and then stopped abruptly.

But, if recruited, what about his wife and children, if he confesses, what will they do!

However, the person outside couldn't help him think.

"Five, four, three—"

The woman's voice was clear and childish, but it seemed to be urging her to die.

He staggered to the door, leaned on the door and listened.

Will Zhao Yi go out? If they don't go out, it doesn't matter!

"two."

Squeak.

However, the sound of the door opening was accompanied by the clatter of shackles.

The last string in Li Pei's brain broke.

Zhao Yi went out, Zhao Yi betrayed him, and he wanted him to bear the responsibility alone!

"one."

No!

The man's mind went blank, he slammed open the door, and rushed towards the brightly lit main hall not far away.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" he said hoarsely.

"It was a conspiracy. It was Zhao Yi and I who conspired. The store in the west of the city detained my family members. My lord, save them!"

Jun Cheng, who was closing his eyes and meditating: "...?"

He stared blankly at the two prisoners who rushed into the courtroom from different directions with the same ferocious face, wondering if he was dreaming.

This, why did you recruit suddenly?

Behind the hall, in the small hall between the two rooms where Li Pei and Zhao Yi were imprisoned, Bai Qiao stepped out slowly, holding two iron chains, bumping into each other like playing.

Tsk, fortunately I was cheated.

The author has something to say:

The eldest prince is temporarily offline, and the second prince is online. Let me make a small offer. Is the second prince an enemy or a friend?

all right!The trip to Zhongli County is over, and Jiangdu's mission is over, ready to go back to Dongdu to find the heroine!

Bai Qiao: My cub rushes the duck!

Qi Changting: ...you call your husband a cub?

Goodnight everybody!
