In the cliff cave, Xiao Qiao was also in extreme shock. Looking at Da Qiao's current appearance, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
It turns out that the reason why my sister is losing weight is not because of a light diet, but because she has been trapped in the mountains alone for eight years. In order not to harm herself and her father, she has been trying to put on a smile.
"I can't tell my little sister, I can't hurt my relatives, and I don't want to jump off a cliff. I'm not willing to give in. Why should I, an outsider, suffer? Why..."
Listening to Da Qiao's cries, Xiao Qiao's heart felt like a knife, and he wished he could rush out now. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his arm.
When he looked up, he saw Zhou Yu pinching his arm tightly, with a ferocious face, bloodshot eyes, and beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Although Sun Ce and I are not officially married, he is a hero of the world after all. If we could grow old together, I would be willing to serve him. But he died in a conspiracy, leaving me alone for the rest of my life. This is unfair..."
"It's really unfair!" Liu Qi sighed softly, helped Da Qiao stand up, looked at the name of the tablet, and said with emotion: "Whether General Sun died at the hands of a revengeful assassin or fell into the conspiracy of power, he should not have You imprisoned. Have you ever thought that maybe they are already suspicious of you?"
In this era, the restrictions on women were not so strict, and even in terms of human ethics, they were very loose. There were absurd things that corrupted human ethics in all dynasties of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao married many people/wives, Cao Pi also married Zhen Mi, Sun Jian even married a Wu sister, and now Wu Guotai is actually Sun Ce's mother's sister. This is all commonplace.
As for Da Qiao, she was just a concubine snatched away by Sun Ce. She might not have even had time to marry her yet, so logically speaking, she shouldn't be so strictly cared for.
"What?" Da Qiao was shocked and shook his head: "Impossible. How could I not know that this matter is very important? I didn't even tell my relatives. If it was... they would have killed me long ago."
"They don't have conclusive evidence. Wouldn't they want to cover it up by killing you?" Liu Qi sighed: "And if you are imprisoned here, someone may be secretly monitoring you. The reason why you are still safe now is because you have not mentioned it. This matter, but from now on..."
Da Qiao suddenly panicked, looked around, and hurried to Liu Qi. This was her only life-saving straw, and she must hold on to it.
"Only if the young master is not from Jiangdong, I dare to say this. Last time I was rescued in the palace, I believe you can save me this time, and you are the only one who can help me, even for the sake of General Sun. A hero complains, as long as he can save me, in the next life... no, I am willing to be a cow or a horse in this life!"
Liu Qi shook his head helplessly: "I am walking on thin ice here. If this matter is true as you said, it will definitely cause a shock in Jiangdong, and a catastrophe is inevitable..."
"What does the Jiangdong catastrophe have to do with me?" Da Qiao screamed again: "Even if the Sun family becomes emperor, what does it have to do with me? Who cares about my feelings, my life and death?"
"Madam, please be patient!" Liu Qi hurriedly comforted her and said with a frown: "This matter is really shocking, but there is no basis for it. I am just a foreigner in Jiangdong. If I investigate this matter rashly, I will be suspected of deliberate murder. He is plotting to disrupt Jiangdong."
"I have evidence!" Da Qiao suddenly ran behind the incense case and rummaged through it for a while to find a handkerchief: "This is the silk handkerchief from back then. There is still blood on it. Ask someone to check it and you will know."
Liu Qi did not answer, but shook his head and said: "Even if the blood is really poisonous, how can we prove General Sun's?"
"This..." Da Qiao turned pale, took two steps back and leaned on the incense table, trembling all over, and the silk handkerchief fell to the ground.
Liu Qi woke up with a word, and she realized that the secret of the evidence that she thought she had was useless.
Liu Qi saw how pitiful she was, and was full of curiosity about Sun Ce's death. This was originally a historical mystery. If it could be solved, who knows what the outcome would be.
He leaned over to pick up the silk handkerchief and sighed: "I am just an outsider, and my actions in Jiangdong must be monitored. This matter is related to the stability of Jiangdong. If we want to investigate, we must rely on Zhou Yu's power and prestige..."
"Zhou Yu can't be trusted," Da Qiao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Sun Ce entrusted Jiangdong to him. As long as he kept Jiangdong's foundation, he didn't ask him to investigate the matter. With Zhou Yu's wisdom, how could he not know? He also only wanted to make contributions, how could he Are you willing to turn Jiangdong upside down?"
"I know that the Governor has great ambitions and is loyal, but this matter concerns Sun Ce's injustice. If Sun Ce didn't know that he died in a conspiracy and left the funeral affairs in his care, how could he rest in peace under the Nine Springs?"
Liu Qi also frowned. On the one hand, he was loyal to the country, and on the other hand, he wanted to redress his friend's injustice. For a person like Zhou Yu who was determined to do something big, it was indeed a difficult choice.
"In short, no one in Jiangdong can be trusted in this matter. Everyone is suspected!" Da Qiao said resolutely, "Trouble has caused Xiao Qiang and brothers to kill each other. How many times have I seen in the palace? I know people and faces but don't know their hearts. I can only ask the young master to go secretly. Check this matter."
When Zhou Yu heard these words, his heart was cut with a knife, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. Xiao Qiao was also like pear blossoms falling under the rain. The couple hugged each other tightly and cried silently while listening to the conversation.
If what Da Qiao said is true, what kind of terrible conspiracy is hidden behind it?
Liu Qi laughed and said, "Thank you for your trust, Madam! But I only came to Jiangdong for a quick trip, and I don't know where to start. I'm afraid I will disappoint Madam's high expectations."
"The emperor has paid off!" Da Qiao wiped away his tears and said solemnly: "I have been waiting for eight years, and finally this opportunity comes. I believe that as long as you are willing to investigate this matter, you will be able to find clues and clear the name of General Sun. , save my freedom..."
Speaking of this, Da Qiao smiled sadly: "How could I not know that this matter is difficult to achieve? It is really outrageous to force someone to do something difficult for no reason! Master Wanwang respects heroes and upholds righteousness in the world. If I can see the light of day again, I will not abandon my broken body. I am a slave and a maidservant, and I am willing to serve you."
Liu Qi's heart trembled, and he looked at the flawless face under the light: "Do you really believe me so much?"
Da Qiao suddenly burst into tears again: "I believe it is God's will to meet each other twice. Who else can I trust besides Mr. She?"
Liu Qi clutched the silk handkerchief tightly and sighed: "I'm just afraid that I have more than enough ambition but not enough power!"
Da Qiao said: "As the saying goes: a son-in-law is half a son. General Sun loves Shang Xiang very much. The young master is about to become the son-in-law of the Sun family. It is natural for him to clear his grievances."
Faced with the beauty's pleading and the curiosity of the historical mystery, Liu Qi could not restrain his inner impulse and nodded: "Okay, I'll do my best!"
"Thank you, sir!" Da Qiao knelt on the ground and cried bitterly again.
Liu Qi took on an arduous task for no reason, and felt mixed emotions in his heart. He helped Da Qiao and didn't know how to comfort him. Da Qiao had no news after Sun Ce's death. It seemed that he had not waited for the opportunity.
The biggest suspect in this matter is undoubtedly Sun Quan. There has been endless debate in history about Sun Quan's murder of Sun Ce. Liu Qi decided to go back and calm down first.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the cave, I heard Da Qiao's cold voice: "If something bad happens to me, please make it known to the world. Otherwise, you will turn into a fierce ghost, and I will not let you go."
Liu Qi paused, shook his head and smiled bitterly. This is really a shame because he didn't eat the mutton. Where can he reason?
