Chapter 142 Zhou Yu apologized on behalf of An An

Seeing that Liu Qingli was no longer insisting on leaving, Zhou Yu thought that his proposal was useful, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You can stay at the post house with peace of mind, as the king of Zhenxi, he will not surrender just because of a trivial matter." If you blame a child for your crimes, even if he really comes to settle accounts in the autumn, I will be there, and I will take care of it for you."

Zhou Yu couldn't bear to let Liu Qingli go like this.

Liu Qingli was still worried, and said worriedly: "Lord Zhou, I don't know how to explain to you. I offended the prince too much. He won't forgive us easily. It's useless for anyone to apologize."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's face turned serious.

He knew that Liu Qingli would not lie and deceive people just to leave, so he frowned: "If that's the case, then if I let you leave privately, it will also hurt the mission."

If Liu Qingli really offended Ye Guichen and would be hunted down, then he couldn't put the entire mission in danger just to help her, right?
Zhou Yu sighed helplessly, and said to Liu Qingli guiltily: "Miss Liu, I really want to help you, but I am the leader of the mission, and I cannot implicate the entire mission for one person. become a sinner!"

Although he had some affection for Liu Qingli and was willing to move his fingers to show her affection, but he didn't go to the point of ruining the entire mission and future for her.

Liu Qingli also gradually calmed down.

She didn't think about it clearly before, and she never thought that this matter would affect the mission. Now that she thinks about it, she also feels that her idea of ​​leaving is too impulsive.

A flash of regret flashed in Liu Qingli's heart, she didn't know what to do, and she said helplessly, "It's because I didn't think carefully, Mr. Zhou, just pretend that I haven't been here today."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qingli turned around and left, her back revealing a sense of loneliness.

It was too easy for her to think, the whole capital city was Ye Guichen's domain, even if they left the post house, they couldn't get out of the city gate, it was useless.

The idea of ​​leaving just ended without a problem.

Lian Yi searched for two days and two nights, and finally traced back to a clue five years ago. He continued to investigate, but he couldn't find any evidence.

The original owner's evidence and physical evidence may have been erased by the Wang family long ago.

Lian Yi believed that there was definitely something wrong with the Wang family from the very beginning, so every time he couldn't find any news, he would send someone to investigate what the Wang family had done during that time.

It's been too long since I searched and searched, only to find the jailer who let Liu Qingli out of the cell.

Lian Yi immediately brought the jailer in front of Ye Guichen and reported the news he had found: "My lord, my subordinates searched for two days and asked more than 30 people for questioning. Clearly, what the Wang family said may not necessarily be the truth, so the subordinates did not look for them."

Ye Guichen's expression darkened immediately: "So, you got nothing?"

Lian Yi hurriedly asked someone to bring in the jailer from outside, and said, "That's not true, my subordinates found a jailer who let Miss Liu out of prison."

The jailer was pushed in and knelt at Lian Yi's feet.

Lian Yi glanced back, and scolded: "Tell the prince exactly what you said before."

The jailer didn't expect to see Ye Guichen, a big man, so his legs went limp in fright, his whole body trembled, and he stumbled when he spoke: "My lord, my lord, please forgive me, the villain didn't do anything."

The jailer turned pale with fright, and it was extremely difficult to speak, his Adam's apple was rolling, and he couldn't help breathing in: "On March [-], six years ago, someone found the villain and asked Liu Qingli to be released from prison for a day. The villain They are all doing things according to other people's orders, as for who Liu Qingli met and what he did after he was released from prison, the villain really doesn't know."

Six years ago, on the sixteenth day of March, it was he who accidentally fell victim to the love potion...

Ye Guichen's eyes were slightly focused, and he felt a strong sense of oppression all over his body, and asked word by word: "Who is the person looking for you, but what impression do you have?"

The jailer rolled his eyes, thinking about it, but still shook his head and said, "It's been too long, the villain can't remember, and that person has been in secret contact with the villain and never showed up."

"Every time, they write the things that the villain needs to do on a note and stuff it in a small crack in the back wall of the prison. After the task is completed, a bag of silver will appear in the villain's house. I have never seen the person behind it from the beginning to the end."

After hearing what he said, Ye Guichen's eyes suddenly burst into a cold light: "You haven't seen anyone, how do you know to go to the crack in the wall behind the prison to get the note?"

"A child told the villain..." The jailer tried hard to recall the child's appearance, but he couldn't remember at all. "It's been too long, and the villain really can't remember..."

How to check this?
Is the clue broken here again?

Ye Guichen closed his eyes slightly, pinched the center of his eyebrows with his fingers, and remained silent.

The jailer kneeling on the ground seized the opportunity and said: "My lord, I have told you everything that the villain knows, and there is absolutely no lie. I beg the lord to show mercy and spare the villain's life!"

Ye Guichen said that the jailer didn't have the guts to deceive him, so he waved his hand and said, "Lian Yi, take him down."

After the person left, Ye Guichen was thinking over and over again about what he said to Tiantian just now, trying to figure out if there were any clues that he missed...

As a result, another servant came in outside to report: "My lord, the envoy Mr. Zhou is asking to see you."

Zhou Yu?

Ye Guichen's eyes froze, Zhou Yu's face flashed in his mind, he came suddenly, did something happen to the mission?

Although Ye Guichen didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the mission, but after all, it was an errand sent by the emperor, so he still had to be superficial.

He quickly sat upright: "please come in."

Lian Yi came in with Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu saluted and said a few words about the mutual trade between the two countries, and then turned the topic to Liu Qingli's mother and son.

Zhou Yu asked calmly: "I was not at the post house yesterday, I heard that An An ran into the prince?"

Yesterday, because he wanted to wander around the capital, he stayed outside all the time. He didn't know that Ye Guichen had come to the post house, and he felt a little panic in his heart, but he apologized just now, seeing that Ye Guichen didn't care about it, so he relaxed In a low tone, he turned to mention Liu Yi'an.

Ye Guichen's originally mild face suddenly darkened, and he stared at Zhou Yu meaningfully.

He could see through Zhou Yu's thoughts almost at a glance, and said bluntly: "Master Zhou wants to intercede for him?"

Zhou Yu saw that he was so upright, so he hurriedly said: "The prince is indeed a smart man, I will not beat around the bush, An An is still young, and has a reckless temper and is not sensible."

"If there is something that offends the prince, I will apologize to you on his behalf, and please don't remember the villain's mistakes, and don't be as knowledgeable as a child. Please accept this small gift with a smile."

He didn't come empty-handed, he also brought a pair of exquisite landscape paintings, which can be seen to be carefully selected by Zhou Yu, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
