Your majesty, Empress Xianyu doesn't want to leave the cold palace

Chapter 588 Showdown
Qi Huanyu ignored her and had already walked ahead.

Lianqiao didn't dare to delay, and quickly followed his pace.

After going up the mountain, she realized why she would not get lost again.

Because the adults had the foresight to bring a compass.

But Forsythia still didn't understand,
"Didn't your lord say that you will do things in the day, so why do you have to go up the mountain tonight?"

"Tomorrow's practice and my official going up the mountain tonight, is there any connection?"

Forsythia opened her lips slightly, she stood there for a long time before realizing the meaning of the words, she pulled up her skirt and chased after the person in front,

"It turns out that adults don't believe in ghosts and gods."

Qi Huanyu knew that she had heard the news that he ordered to do something, so she said,
"What other people believe, I must also believe."

Forsythia suddenly realized, "Understood."

The practice is small, and the important things make everyone feel at ease.

Strange to say, Guanyin Mountain, which looks gloomy during the day, can actually see stars at night.

The moonlight fell, and the night was bright, but it was not so eerie.

Lopsided.

It stands to reason that the mountain roads are rough, but the road on Guanyin Mountain is extremely flat, as if few people have walked by it.

It seems that people come and go frequently.

Seeing a plant under the rock, Lissian Qiao's pupils dilated, calling out,

"My lord, look."

Sure enough, golden foot grass grows on Guanyin Mountain.

Lian Qiao poked the torch over to see what was going on inside, but when she walked forward, she tripped over a stone on the ground.

She kicked the stone away, but her eyes swept away inadvertently.

Because of the swagger of the torch, she noticed something shimmering.

Forsythia squatted down to pick up a stone.

Seeing a layer of gold mixed in the crack, an idea came to my mind,
"Is this..."

Qi Huanyu took her words,
"This is gold ore."

Lian Qiao raised her head and saw Qi Huanyu was also holding a stone in his hand.

Qi Huanyu has already got up, and has already made a judgment,

"I'm afraid this is the real reason for your parents' death."

Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, the hand holding the stone gradually turned cold, she tried her best to calm down, and asked him for proof,
"My lord means that because my father and mother accidentally discovered this place, that's why..."

"It should be more than that."

Even the rumors of ghosts and ghosts on Guanyin Mountain should be related to it.

"Private people are not allowed to hold gold mines, and the rumors of ghosts are to prevent people from going up the mountain, and they don't want people to discover the secrets here.

Qi Huanyu stood still, turned around, and asked behind him,

"What? I've been following you for so long, why don't you come out?"

Forsythia turned her head abruptly.

Did someone follow them up the mountain?

A figure came out from behind the mountain rock, first saw the hem of the clothes, and then the magistrate of Yangzhou appeared with a head,

With a silly smile on his face, surprised and mediocre at the same time, he took two steps forward with his hands in his sleeves, and asked anxiously,

"My lord, why are you here?

Didn't we agree to do things tomorrow?
There is no way to do anything here, but it is very dangerous. "

After seeing the magistrate of Yangzhou, Lianqiao thought about what Qi Huanyu said, and instantly understood,
"It's you! You did all of this."

The magistrate of Yangzhou was in a daze,

"What is me?
Eh, no, Miss Lian should be in prison, right?
You haven't cleared your suspicion yet, why did you come here? "

Looking at Qi Huanyu again, he suddenly realized,

"Ah, I see, the adults must have brought you out."

Then he turned to Qi Huanyu and said, "My lord! Although you are an adult, it is inappropriate to release the suspect privately."

Qi Huanyu no longer cooperates in acting,

"These days, you pretended well, so why bother pretending now."

The magistrate of Yangzhou had a smile on his face, but in an instant, the corners of his lips were pulled down, and his expression changed immediately.

At this moment, he was in a dark place, and his entire face was in the shadows, making him look gloomy.

Then he waved his hands, sneered twice, walked over slowly, rolled up his sleeves, and sighed,
"My lord, my lord, it's boring to say everything so clearly."

The eyelids are lifted up, and a squinted eye comes over, showing danger,

"Since that's the case, I would like to ask, what does your lord think of my pretending?"

The magistrate of Yangzhou clasped his hands in front of him, smiling proudly,

"If I hadn't pretended to be stupid, my lord wouldn't have been deceived by me.
It can be seen that it is okay for people to pretend to be stupid. "

Qi Huanyu disagreed,
"Are you sure you're pretending to be stupid, not really stupid?"

The magistrate of Yangzhou looked at him for a while,

"My lord is just my lord. Even when death is imminent, I still have such confidence. I really admire you."

After speaking, he immediately gave Qi Huanyu a thumbs up.

Qi Huanyu: "So, you did all this for money?"

"Money?" The magistrate of Yangzhou smiled disdainfully, turned his head randomly, and looked at a place with adoring eyes. His eyes were ethereal, as if he could see a person far away, and the yearning in his eyes was indelible.
"How can you ordinary people understand that I am here to fulfill the belief of the gods."

He has his gods.

As long as there is divine guidance.

For this, he is willing to give his all.

Money is his most devout gift to the gods.

God will give as much as he needs.

Seeing his obsessed appearance, Lianqiao sneered,

"A person like you deserves to be a god?"

"Shut up!" The magistrate of Yangzhou suddenly seemed to be a different person, and suddenly opened his teeth and claws sharply, "It's you! It's you who are not worthy of mentioning him!"

Lianqiao didn't want to see him play crazy, she wanted to know the truth,
"A wealthy businessman was robbed and killed by water bandits earlier, and my parents,

You keep saying that there is no trace, is it because you did all of this. "

"Oh, you're talking about those people," Yangzhou prefect looked at her angrily, nodded, and admitted generously, "Yes."

Lian Qiao clenched the hand by her side, staring at the person closely,
"Therefore, there are no water bandits at all. You let people pretend."

The prefect of Yangzhou rubbed his hands together, as if recalling a very fulfilling event,

"Actually, it's easy to say that they were originally death row prisoners, vicious people,

I am willing to give them a way out and give them benefits,
Of course they will do things for me. "

Lianqiao: "What about my parents? You said they died from water bandits, but now you say that water bandits belong to you,

Then, you are the one who killed my parents!

why!
They have never offended you! "

The magistrate of Yangzhou spread his hands and asked her with a simple face,
"Don't good people have to die?
Man is mortal, since he dies sooner or later,
So why not give them a ride early?

In this way, it can fulfill me. "

Listening to his nonsense, Lianqiao really wanted to kill this person in front of her.

How precious human life is, it turned out to be nothing worth mentioning in his mouth.

Qi Huanyu clasped her hand, not letting her move forward impulsively.

The magistrate of Yangzhou was really angry when he saw her, but he himself always maintained a good attitude and said eloquently,
"Actually, I didn't intend to kill your parents!
To be precise, he didn't want to kill them so early.

But, who made them come up the mountain, and discovered the secret of this gold mine! "
