Chapter 188 The Evidence Was Destroyed

Qu Chu looked at the housekeeper.

The butler was startled, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"The servant really doesn't know. Although the servant has received the people sent by the King of Jiangcheng, he only takes care of their lives and arranges their food and daily life. I really don't know what they came for and where they went."

At this moment, the butler felt extremely regretful.

In the past, in order not to arouse Yan Qingnan's suspicion, he had always maintained the attitude that one thing more is worse than one thing less.If I had known about today, I should have paid more attention to it, so as not to ask three questions at this time.

At this time, a servant said loudly: "I know, I hope the general will give me a way out."

Qu Chu looked at him, "Say."

The servant hurriedly knelt and moved forward a few steps.

"One time it was raining so hard that Jiangcheng King's men couldn't go out, so he asked his servant to call a donkey cart outside for him. The slave then called his cousin's donkey cart.

Later, the servant accidentally asked my cousin where he took the man. The cousin said he went to Songlan Mountain. After sending the man there, he waited for a long time. When he came back, he brought back something besides the man.

My cousin didn't know what it was wrapped in cloth, but he said it was quite heavy. "

Donkeys mostly walk in "small steps", which are more stable and stable than horses, and are more suitable for rugged mountain roads.Therefore, in mountainous areas like Nanshu, donkey carts are more practical than horse carts.

Qu Chu looked at the map and knew the location of Songlan Mountain. It was in the southeast of Nanshu City, not far from Nanyi and Nanyue.

"Where is your cousin now?"

The servant said: "If there is no accident, you should hide at home now. His home is not far from here."

Qu Chu made a prompt decision, and asked a general to take this servant to find his cousin, and asked his cousin to lead the way to Songlan Mountain.

Qu Chu told the general, "Bring more people, just in case."

After the general took the order and left, several servants came out and said something. Although it was useless, Qu Chu had someone record it.

Before Qu Chu left, Yan Qingnan's eldest son and daughter-in-law kowtowed three more times to Qu Chu, "General, can you take my daughter away?"

Qu Chu looked at the woman with a complicated expression.

This woman entrusted her daughter to herself at this time, presumably she had a will to die.

She had no right to comment on this woman's behavior, but Qu Chu was touched by this woman's desire to protect her daughter.

Back then, when her mother sent herself away before she died, was she as desperate as this woman?
Qu Chu said quietly:

"I can only promise you to spare her life and not sell her into a prostitute camp, but I cannot be responsible for her future life."

"If the general can send his daughter to a family in the country, the criminal woman will be grateful. The criminal woman will be a cow or a horse in the next life, and she will tie a grass ring to repay her."

Qu Chu stared at the woman for a while, then motioned to the soldiers beside him to take the girl.

Qu Chu walked out of the cell without agreeing to anything or saying anything else.

After she left, Mrs. Yan Qingnan looked at the woman fiercely.

The woman laughed miserably, "I know I shouldn't betray my father-in-law, but for my daughter, I have no regrets."

After finishing speaking, the woman slammed into the wall...

……

Not long after Qu Chu left the cell, he received news from the soldiers: The woman hit the wall and died.

Qu Chu's hand paused, and he ordered softly: "Bury it!"

……

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the breeze was warm.

A figure hugged a girl out of the barracks, and she rode a horse for more than ten miles to a remote village.

She put the girl and 100 taels of silver at the door of a family, and then knocked on the door of this family.

Hearing movement from this family, the man hid in the shadows.

She didn't leave until she saw that the family carried the girl into the house, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Nanyi Border
Gray Lightning came to Nanyi Frontier Army to deliver a letter again.

Qu Chu is now in Nanshu, not far from General Fan's Nanyi Frontier Army barracks, so letters are exchanged more frequently.

No, just after recovering Nanshu City, Qu Chu asked Huidian to deliver the letter, and asked about the situation of the Nanyi frontier army by the way.

He Dabao took a pot of meat and fed it to Gray Dian while chatting with it.

"How about you, you can see the general whenever you want, but I want to see the general, but General Fan disagrees, saying that the general doesn't have time to take me now.

Do I need to bring it?

I just want to serve her by the general's side. "

Hui Dian ate the meat coldly, ignoring this mortal.

A soldier familiar with He Dabao saw this scene and came over.

"Lieutenant He, do you know this eagle?"

He Dabao replied happily:

"This is our general's Haidongqing, called Huidian, but he is psychic and can understand people's words."

Costin!

That is holy!
Out of [-] condors, only one "Costin" is produced!
The soldier looked enviously at He Dabao making out with Hai Dongqing, and reached out his hand to touch it.

"do not……"

Before He Dabao could finish his sentence, Gray Electric slapped the soldier fiercely.

Is this divine bird something you, a mere mortal, can touch?
He Dabao apologized:

"Gray Dian doesn't like strangers touching it, it's because you and I know each other, otherwise it just grabbed it with one paw."

So amazing?

The soldier snapped his hands.

南蜀
The soldiers who went to Songlan Mountain came back with a sad news.

A copper mine, an iron mine, and a weapons smelter were indeed discovered in Songlan Mountain, but they were all blown up.

What is shocking is that hundreds of people died in these two mines, and they were buried after the mines were blown up. They were all miners.

As for the weapon smelting factory, it was empty and there was no evidence left.

Qu Chu remembered what she and Ning Youbei heard when they were in South Vietnam.

At the beginning, in order to find out information, she went to the cell on purpose, and met an old man in the cell.

In addition to telling them one old thing 30 years ago, the old oilman also said two things.

One is that people in the Nanyue prison are often missing; the other is that a "prince" met the Nanyue city lord late at night.

The old man said that outsiders often disappeared from the South Vietnamese prison, and they were all young and strong.

At that time, Ning Youbei guessed that he might be taken to a private mine to work as a coolie, but Ning Youbei guessed it right.

These two mines are not far from South Vietnam, and the hundreds of people who died should be those who disappeared in the past.

From this point of view, the Nanyue City Lord and the Jiangcheng King also colluded, and the prince who met the Nanyue City Lord late at night may be the Jiangcheng King.

It's a pity that neither I nor Ning Youbei paid attention to what I said to Lao Youzi. Otherwise, if I had done a thorough investigation earlier, wouldn't these hundreds of miners have to die?

In fact, Qu Chu and Ning Youbei were not to blame for what happened at the beginning. They were deeply responsible at the time, and Nanyi and Jianghuai were still covering up. They really couldn't separate their minds from doing other things.
