Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 115 Confrontation
"I've met my lord."

Mei Qian was brought over as she was drowsily asleep. When she looked up at the man sitting on her arm, Mei Qian finally regained consciousness. She was so frightened that Mei Qian immediately bowed her head and saluted again.

Did these people take her away immediately when they saw her sleeping?
Mei Qian had an impression of the people in the Imperial City Division being careless.

However, Mei Qian's salute was so nondescript that Mu Ying couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

"Do you know why I came to you?"

The other party's question came from above her head. Mei Qian knelt there and then slowly raised her head, met the other party's gaze, and then asked: "When you arrested me earlier, didn't you mean to ask about my brother? "?"

This statement made Mu Ying sneer, and he suddenly asked: "So, why did you go to inquire about the dock this morning?"

Mei Qian:? ?

Now Mei Qian couldn't hold it back anymore and asked: "Is there any problem with running around to find out about the family? My brother suffered such an unreasonable disaster without doing anything. How can we ignore it as a relative?"

Mei Qian looked at him with eyes filled with accusations, but of course that wasn't what she was thinking in her heart.

Mei Qian didn't know that an ordinary citizen like herself could be stared at by the Imperial City Secretary. Did the Imperial City Secretary have any serious illness?
"Oh? Then you also think your brother is innocent?"

"nature."

"Then why did you say those suggestive words?"

In fact, the conversation between Mei Qian and Mei Shitou wouldn't have caused much thought if it were told by another person. However, when Mei Qian heard Mu Ying's vivid tone when speaking with Mei Shitou, Mei Qian was a little nervous. Living.

Are these people capable of eavesdropping?
Not only did her words get heard, but her tone was also imitated.

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'the people do not fight with the officials.' We, the common people, are involved in this kind of thing for no reason, and of course we only want to protect ourselves.

When it comes to catching assassins, there is no one who pursues them relentlessly. Instead, a group of innocent people like this are arrested. Who knows if you are planning to find someone to take the blame? What if my brother surrenders and succeeds? "

Mei Qian said without any panic, staring closely at the other person's eyes, and said, "I'm just worried when I talk to my brother like that."

"If you don't have any ghosts in your heart, why are you afraid of being beaten?"

"Sir, if there is something wrong in your heart, then a beating will not be called a beating."

Mei Qian didn't really like the man in front of her. He was afraid that he was treating her as a fool and using words to get around her.

"Since you feel that your brother is really not involved, why did you take the initiative to investigate the news on the dock? You heard a lot of news this morning, right? When you were talking to me just now, you still only used the official excuse. Why?"

Mu Ying changed the subject and once again mentioned the incident where Mei Qian had asked for information in the morning. He leaned forward and a handsome face suddenly came closer. Mei Qian subconsciously stepped back to distance herself from the other person.

The faint smell of blood lingering on the other party also made Mei Qian resist the other party's approach.

"To catch a thief and seize the stolen goods, as ordinary people, if we want to retract the confession and prove that my brother did not commit a crime, we should at least produce evidence. Shouldn't we investigate?

However, those news are more or less just hearsay. Without the official guarantee and no one to vouch for the truth, how can the little girl dare to tell the news directly in front of the adults? "

"Catch a thief and take the stolen goods? Will the government provide guarantee?" After hearing what Mei Qian said, Mu Ying's lips slightly raised and he smiled with interest. The next second, when he looked at Mei Qian, his eyes suddenly darkened and he asked : "So you are mocking me for arresting people indiscriminately and deceiving the people. Really?"

"Did I say that?"

Mei Qian was slightly frightened by the sudden change of expression on the other side, and was somewhat afraid of the capricious expression of the man in front of her.

Neuropathy!
Cursing like this in her heart, Mei Qian pretended to be calm and asked the other party:

"The assassin was not caught. Sir, you can go and catch the assassin. Now you have been lingering in Qingyao for many days, interrogating the local people for any traces and so on... If I were the assassin, I would have ignored him these past few days. I ran hundreds of miles away. went.

Sir, are you really trying to catch an assassin by acting like this? "

As soon as Mei Qian finished speaking, the opponent's big hand stretched out to cover her mouth, and she was suddenly pushed to the ground by the opponent.
"You dare to say that, little lady! That's right! The person I arrested escaped in time because I got wind of it. Even if I knew that I was too late, there was no chance of success in tracing and arresting him.

So, even if the assassin cannot be caught, it is possible to arrest the accomplices and the informant.

Everyone was on the dock at that time, except for your brother. Maybe he was the one who tipped off the news? "

Mei Qian lay on her back on the ground, feeling the biting coldness of the stone slabs under her body. She looked up at Mu Ying with gloomy eyes. Mei Qian knew that if she suspected that her brother was the one who tipped off the news, then Mei Qian would Sooner or later the stone will die.

Or they were tortured to extract confessions and died under unbearable punishment;

Or if this person takes the blame, the Mei family will even be implicated.

After Mu Ying said this, he stared with interest at the girl who was being intimidated by him. His words were half-truth, half-false, and deliberately exaggerated just to see if the other party would have other surprises.

But when he was distracted, the eyes of the girl under him suddenly changed. The moment the girl raised her hand, Mu Ying saw that there was a silver needle in Mei Qian's hand and it was thrust directly into his arm!

When he let go, Mei Qian raised her foot and kicked him out. Using the force, she flipped up, rolled to the side and stood up quickly, saying, "Don't come over yet! Listen to what I have to say!"

···
"Does Mei Shitou really know anything?"

At this time, Master Zhu was also unsure. Lin Qin came to find him about the Mei family. At first, he thought that the Mei family was an unlucky guy who was accidentally involved, but it was not impossible to help them get out together.

As a result, within just two days, the Imperial City Secretary not only tortured the people, but also released everyone else, leaving Mei Shitou alone. Even his sister was taken away and her whereabouts are unknown.

This abnormal behavior set off alarm bells in Master Zhu's heart. He had to re-examine Lin Qin and asked, "Do you know the origin of the Mei family?"

"Master Zhu, I have told you the details of that family before, and don't you know who are our people on the dock?"

"Then why...the other party attracted the attention of the Imperial City Division. I heard that Mei Shitou happened to be away from the dock that day and was caught when he came back.

Previously, I thought that the Imperial City Division suspected that he was a tip-off, so they detained him.

But - if it was really that simple, Mei Shitou should have been released a long time ago. What if Mei Shitou really knew something he shouldn't have known, and someone from the Imperial City Division found out, so he was detained What should I do if I get down here? "

While the two of them were working together in the house, the boy who had been watching outside knocked on the door and stood outside the house and shouted: "Mr. Lin, that old lady Mei came to see you for something..."

It’s time to heat up the Ying Ling Rice
