Raid

Chapter 165
"I really don't like him, don't you like him?" Although Qin Qinghong didn't ask about Gu Lingxu's affairs, she was the best at guessing people's hearts, let alone Gu Lingxu's thoughts.

Coupled with Gu Lingxu's frequent actions recently, she can't guess it anymore, she is a fool.

"You seem to have an old grievance with the Zhou family?" He ignored Qin Qinghong's rebuttal, and continued to ask.He knew that Qin Qinghong hated the world, but there was a difference between disgust and loathing.

But when he said this, he regretted it a little. No matter the reason, it was probably some old scars that caused such turmoil in the world-weary Qin Qinghong's heart. Although the scars are old, they may not be painless in retrospect.

Thinking about this, Gu Lingxu said again: "Forget it, it's meaningless to bring up the old things today. If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

"There's nothing I want to say, you're right, I just hate the Zhou family." Qin Qinghong's expression was calm, and she continued to catch up with her needlework, "After all, no one likes the person who killed his father."

The vengeance of killing her father came out of her mouth lightly, as if it wasn't her father who was killed.

Gu Lingxu couldn't believe it. He looked at Qin Qinghong who was mending with her head down. Her beautiful face became more and more beautiful under the lamp, but it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of sadness.

"My father used to be the censor, and also the inspector. He inspected the Jiangbei provinces on behalf of the emperor, but unfortunately he didn't have that rich life. When he returned to Beijing, he encountered bandits. Miaoduan and I were released in the chaos. People desperately sent it away. Since then, Miaoduan and I have been scattered and wandering. I have not entered the brothel, and Miaoduan has returned to Buddhism."

She spoke lightly of the things Gu Lingxu had found, with a flat voice and a touch of sarcasm.

"Those bandits, aren't they bandits?" Gu Lingxu immediately realized.

"I didn't know at the time." Qin Qinghong shook his head, "When the incident happened, I was still young and ran away in panic. How could I be sure of this? It's just that I've been around the scene for many years, and I've met all kinds of people .There are quite a few minions of Zhou Clan's henchmen, so naturally they found out a lot of things. And..."

She paused, then raised her head, "I clearly remember that before returning to Beijing, Aye wrote the impeachment memorial and asked people to collect evidence. It was to impeach Zhou's family for smuggling in the Southern Jin Dynasty, with evil intentions."

Gu Lingxu was taken aback, "Smuggling to the Southern Jin Dynasty?"

Qin Qinghong nodded, and continued: "I, Aye, entrusted the evidence to a friend of his at the time, but the Zhou family is so powerful, how could it not be possible to kill the roots. I found out later that after the accident in my home, Aye's That old friend also died in an accident."

Gu Lingxu looked at Qin Qinghong, for a moment he didn't understand why Qin Qinghong was able to tell all this so plainly, as if it wasn't her family who had the accident.

But thinking about it, it seemed reasonable.If she can't store all her thoughts and emotions in her heart, then what is waiting for her is Zhou's discovery, and then Miaoduan will be implicated to die with her.

She can only be plain, and she is used to plainness.

Only she can perceive her emotions, and others can't see half of it.

Gu Lingxu couldn't help approaching her, and he grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?" Qin Qinghong couldn't help exclaiming, she looked at Gu Lingxu angrily.

Gu Lingxu didn't speak, but just looked at Qin Qinghong's hands, the light-white fingertips were covered with needle marks, and many of them were dripping with blood.

"Talk as you speak, sew whatever clothes you want, and you can't do anything well. If you accidentally make the clothes full of blood, how can you wear them?" Gu Lingxu let go of Qin Qinghong's hand, and he forcefully Put away your needlework and laundry.

He went to get the medicine box again, and helped to deal with Qin Qinghong's fingers.

"Stay away from me." Qin Qinghong didn't like others approaching so close, so she took over the medicine box and disposed of it herself.

Gu Lingxu didn't force it, he realized his approach, and took a few steps back uncomfortably.

He took a breath, remembered what Qin Qinghong said just now, and continued to ask: "You said that the Zhou family smuggled with Nanjin, what's going on?"

Qin Qinghong shook his head, "I don't know. I was only ten years old at the time. Although Aye doted on me, he never thought of letting me know so many things. I don't know much. But I can understand it when I think about it. It's not clean anymore."

"This matter is definitely not a trivial matter. If the Zhou family can be caught, this cancer may be completely eradicated." Gu Lingxu murmured.

Qin Qinghong smiled instead, "It is said that an enemy's enemy is a friend. Both you and the Zhou family regard Guan Zhi as a deadly enemy. If you eradicate the Zhou family, Guan Zhi must be the most proud."

"Don't underestimate me." Gu Lingxu snorted lightly, looked at her hand, and warned, "Take the medicine carefully and don't play."

"Compared to Guan Zhi, how much better is the Zhou family? I really hate Guan Zhi deeply, but if I can get rid of the Zhou family, why should I let it go. They are not good people after all."

If they are kept, it will be the common people who will suffer.

The aristocratic family can be described as a strong character in its early years. When the Northern Qi Dynasty was founded, the monarch was also a sage.However, the current situation has changed, and the ills have accumulated for a long time. Now, under the pressure of foreign enemies, there is no way to completely overthrow and eradicate it, so it can only be repaired.

"How much do you know, tell me as much as you can. I'll go see Rong Zhi tomorrow."

Qin Qinghong was a little surprised by Gu Lingxu's trust in Rong Zhi, she couldn't help asking: "Why did you tell Rong Zhi? Do you trust him?"

"He is a unparalleled talent, and even a rare counselor. If he can be used by me..." He suddenly realized something, and the words on his lips stopped abruptly. He looked at Qin Qinghong, feeling suddenly annoyed in his heart.

Compared with Rong Zhi, he seems to trust Qin Qinghong more.

If a few things are not kept secret, it will cause harm.He does have ambitions, and when the time is right and the foreign enemies are safe, he will not just be willing to be a courtier.Right now, he really has a plan to bring Rong Zhi under his command.

But this is just a thought hidden in his heart. How could he easily talk to others before there was an incident or even preparations?

What's more, it was Qin Qinghong who had just known him for less than half a year.

Gu Lingxu's heart was mixed, he suppressed his strangeness, but saw Qin Qinghong looking at him with a half-smile.

"You..." Gu Lingxu spat out a word.

Qin Qinghong smiled, "You should be glad that I was not sent by your political opponents. Marquis Xiangcheng, be careful when talking to me in the future."

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Gu Lingxu felt more at ease, and was a little annoyed for a moment. She saw his fear from time to time, so she got angry.

Gu Lingxu still wanted to say something, but Qin Qinghong was already tired, "Forget it, anyway, you have to talk to Rong Zhi. Now I'm sleepy too, so I might as well go talk to Rong Zhi with you tomorrow."
