Chapter 368 The Clue Is Broken Again

"Be careful!" Li Xiaoyue stood on top and watched him and couldn't help but exhorted.

"Understood." Lin Yin nodded, the torch in his hand was lit, and a group of people walked inside.

Li Xiaoyue and Tian Xiang waited at the entrance, quietly, Li Xiaoyue was worried, and Tian Xiang comforted her as always.

Before half an hour had passed, Lin Yinyi and the others came back from another direction.

"General?"

Li Xiaoyue stood up, looked at the man with some mud on his face and asked in doubt.

Lin Yin pursed his thin lips, his face was obscure, and he seemed a little annoyed.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiaoyue raised her head and looked at Lin Qiong who was behind her, who also looked annoyed, and asked aloud.

"The exit of this tunnel is by the river, and it is deserted. We were almost drowned!" Lin Qiong said angrily, and a good clue was broken again. Originally, the place leading to it was definitely not the river, but Tianji Pavilion was able to change the direction of the tunnel under their noses!

Lin Yinyi didn't speak, but when he saw Li Xiaoyue's worried eyes, his expression softened a little, and he said softly, "Retreat the troops, go back and report to your orders first!"

"Yes!" The crowd quickly gathered in one place, a little discouraged. After two days and one night, they got this result
Lin Yinyi finally left a few people to search along the river, although he knew that there was little hope, he could not give up lightly.

At this moment, in the West Garden of Ding Mansion.

The small courtyard that was originally desolate seemed extraordinarily lively at the moment.

Qiu Huai was bound hands and feet, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, and was looking around vigilantly with his thief eyes, making an angry whining sound from his mouth.

"Squeak~" The door was opened, and the man walked in with his head held high. There was a faint smile on his sickly pale face, and his sizing eyes fell on him.

"Master, it has never been found that Qiuhuai is missing, even if it is found, it will not be found here, you can rest assured." Ding Chengren followed behind Gu Jingcheng, and said flatteringly.

"Well done." Gu Jingcheng glanced at him casually, stepped forward slowly, stood in front of him, bent down, looked at his flustered appearance, laughed softly, and took out the cloth strip from his mouth, While speaking, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I just want to ask you a few questions."

"It's you, what do you want to do?" Qiu Huai pursed his lips and looked at him vigilantly. Wang Ruoxu promised the man in front of him to go to Beijing to find Qiu Yeli behind his back. Although he was not very willing, he was half coerced and half Lured to go together.

"I'm the head of the country! You won't end well if you catch me!" Qiu Huai frowned tightly, and the few days of peace and stability had made him forget that the man in front of him was not a good-tempered person.

"Heh," Gu Jingcheng snorted as if he had heard some good joke, and hooked his lips mockingly, "Master Qiu's words are really sad. I came all the way from Qingshui Town to find you. Are you about to draw the line?"

Qiu Huai frowned, staring at his eyes carefully, as if thinking about some kind of trick he was playing, but it was not a good thing, so he simply lowered his eyes and said bravely, "If you send me back obediently, I will Just pretend it never happened, and I won't tell Li'er!"

"What if I say no?" Gu Jingcheng raised his eyebrows, watching his eyes darken, Qiu Huai swallowed and did not speak, "It seems that Master Qiu is not going to cooperate, come here"

"Wait!" Qiuhuai seemed to have finally come to his senses at this moment, got up and knelt down in front of him like a pug, and said, "I'll say! I'll say! I'm sure I know everything and say everything!"

Gu Jingcheng raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, "Master Qiu really knows the current affairs."

After speaking, he signaled Jinhua, the man in black, to come forward and take the painting on the desk.

Qiu Huai followed his gaze and looked over, his face paled instantly, and he frowned, "This is it?"

"Master Qiu should look familiar, after all, he got it from your home in Qingshui Town." Gu Jingcheng said as he unfolded the scroll, watching his expression.

The woman on the picture scroll has a beautiful appearance and an elegant temperament. It is really hard to imagine that this painting was actually obtained from a family like Qiu Huai.

Qiu Huai looked away, did not look at the painting, did not speak, but looked obviously flustered.

"Master Qiu, do you recognize the woman in this painting?" Gu Jingcheng watched him speak slowly, Qiu Huai was almost out of breath, but he denied it extremely quickly, "No, I don't know! "

When Gu Jingcheng saw this, he knew that he was not telling the truth, and motioned Jinhua to take another scroll on the table, and unfolded it in front of him, "Master Qiu, look at it, I really don't know the woman in this painting. ?”

"No, I don't know, I don't know." Qiu Huai shook his head. The woman in this painting is younger, but it is obvious that the two paintings are painted by one person.

"Master Qiu is like this, which makes me very embarrassed!" Gu Jingcheng was not in a hurry, like a blunt knife cutting through flesh, he spoke lightly, looking at him like a poisonous snake, spitting out a sinister snake letter.

Qiu Huai swallowed, looking at the threatening eyes of the man in black, Chance was about to cry, "My lord, my lord, I really don't know who this woman is! Please let me go! Even if you beat me to death, I won't die." Get to know her!"

Gu Jingcheng sneered, "Master Qiu is looking at fool Meng? If you don't know him, why did you treasure this painting for several years?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Huai immediately fell silent, with a troubled expression on his face, it really was a scholar who met a soldier, and he couldn't explain why, otherwise he would only die faster.

"Jinhua, let him tell the truth." Gu Jingcheng got up, brows were frowning, and he lost his patience to gossip with him, got up and left the house.

"Yes!" The man in black nodded and walked towards the man.

For a moment, there was a sound of punching and kicking and the man's wailing mixed with begging for mercy.

After a while, guessing that it was almost time, Gu Jingcheng walked into the house.

Everything around was as usual, except that the man lying on the ground had a bruised nose and a swollen face, panting heavily. Gu Jingcheng smiled and stepped forward, squatting down, "How is it? Master Qiu remembered?"

"I, I." Qiu Huai felt as if his whole body was falling apart, the pain was unbearable, his eyes were almost blocked by his swollen eye sockets, he raised his head with difficulty to look at Gu Jingcheng with a sinister face, and said, "I Say, I will say."

Gu Jingcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Jinhua to help him up, waiting for him to speak.

Qiu Huai sat on the chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "I really don't know the woman in the painting, I just met her by chance many years ago. She was chased by a group of thieves, and her belongings were scattered all over the place. I... The treasurer picked up some jewels and this painting, fearing that those people would come back, so he hurried home, that's how it is!"

The man's tone was sincere, almost crying.

Gu Jingcheng stared into his eyes, saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he frowned, "What about this woman?"

"Dead." Qiu Huai narrowed his pupils and said in a steady voice without the slightest hesitation.
