185 Robbery
Qing Yi entered the study and saw Duke Chu sitting there with an angry look on his face. //Welcome to 78 Reading .//[ ][]
What was in front of him was the palace layout plan that she had stolen.
He stepped forward and called, "Dad."
When the Duke of Chu saw her coming back, his expression improved slightly. He glanced at the deployment plan on the table and said seriously, "What's going on?"
Qing Yi understands that since her father can use the picture to question her, it means that there is enough evidence to prove that she has touched the picture. If she denies it blindly and refuses to admit it, it will only be self-defeating.
Said: "My daughter was bored that day, so she came to her father's place to see if she could find a book to read. She accidentally found a hidden compartment and was curious, so she took it out and read it."
The Duke of Chu said with a cold face, "Just looked at it?"
"Yes." After Qing Yi carefully noted it down that day, she put it back in its original position. Even if someone saw her peeking at the picture, this explanation would make sense.
Unexpectedly, the Duke of Chu snorted loudly, "How dare you lie."
"My daughter never lied."
The Duke of Chu said angrily: "This picture was found in your room. After this picture was lost, you never returned home day and night."
Qing Yi did not take the picture away that day. If the picture was found in her room, then someone must have framed her.
Thinking of Xiao Hua's question, Meng Fei found out that it was two days ago that she had stolen the picture, but Xiao Hua had just asked, and he directly asked her if she wanted to assassinate the emperor.
He would think so, then father...
Xiao Hua asked this deliberately. He was reminding himself that his father was suspicious.
Qing Yi broke out in a cold sweat.
With Xiao Hua reminding him, Qing Yi was frightened but not panicked.
He said calmly: "My daughter saw this map. It was two days ago, not yesterday. Besides, I don't know where this map is. What's the use of my daughter stealing it?"
The Duke of Chu was stunned for a moment and said to himself that he was confused. There is no word "palace" on this map. No one in the mansion except himself knows that this map is the deployment plan of the palace.
Qing Yi observes the appearance. He further said: "Besides, if my daughter wanted to steal this picture, why did she leave without taking the picture away, but waited in her room for her father to search it?"
Chu Guogong said: "Maybe you didn't expect to be discovered so soon. [ ][]"
Qing Yi said: "Then why does my daughter think it is not easy to be discovered?"
The Duke of Chu didn't even think about it, "Who would take out this kind of thing and look at it without any trouble?"
Qing Yi said: "That's right, that's the case. Then how did the father find out that the picture had been touched, and how did he go to search his daughter's room?"
The Duke of Chu has been fighting with others in the court for decades. Not only is he not stupid, he is also very smart.
A few days ago, Madam and Qing Yi came back from the palace. There was something wrong with her expression. Although no matter how he asked, the lady just said nothing happened, he felt that the lady had been wronged in the palace.
Madam is a tolerant person. Even if she is wronged, she is afraid of embarrassing him, so she usually endures it alone and will not speak out.
So he secretly investigated the matter of Madam and Qing Yi entering the palace this time. Unexpectedly, this investigation actually found out that the queen helped the fake emperor to rape and humiliate Mrs. Yue.
When I thought about the various reasons why Madam would rather suffer in the Snake Country than come back, I was shocked to realize the reason.
The madam couldn't bear the humiliation, and at the same time knew that he was determined to support the false emperor and Baotai, so she chose to escape.
This discovery. It made him shocked, ashamed and angry.
If it weren't for the overall situation, he would have killed that ungrateful beast and the queen immediately.
But Pingyang Hou will return. If he kills the beast at this time, and Pingyang Hou takes the opportunity to lead his troops to force the palace, Tai will not be able to sit on the throne, then all his hard work for so many years will be in vain.
He had to scrape the beast with his own hands, but not now. He had to endure it.
Qing Yi couldn't bear to see her mother being wronged. In the past, whenever she learned that her mother had been wronged, she would try to stand up for her mother or seek punishment.
How could he swallow his breath if he found out that his mother had been humiliated in the palace?
So when he learned that Qing Yi had stolen the picture, he believed it was Qing Yi without hesitation.
If Qing Yi wants to vent her anger for her mother, she has no choice but to assassinate the emperor!
He discovered that the map had been stolen by his daughter, who immediately disappeared, which made him suspect that her daughter had gone to assassinate the emperor. [ ]
First of all, that beast can't die yet.
Secondly, a little girl from Qingyi entered the palace to assassinate the emperor, and never returned. 【leaf*】【*】
Therefore, the daughter's assassination of the emperor is absolutely not allowed.
He sent people to secretly guard the entrances to the palace, and ordered the guards he deployed in the palace to search carefully for his daughter's whereabouts.
Once Qing Yi is discovered, take her back immediately.
But for two days, there was no news from Qingyi.
It wasn't until Qing Yi came back that he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Qing Yi asked back, and he suddenly discovered that there were too many loopholes in it.
What made him even more gratified was that his daughter didn't recognize the deployment map.
Since he doesn't recognize it, he will naturally not steal it, so his previous worries may not exist.
Maybe the daughter doesn’t even know that her mother was humiliated…
After carefully thinking about how he found out that the deployment plan was stolen, his face suddenly changed, he stood up and shouted: "Call Wang'er."
Wang'er's father, Xingfu, was an old servant of the Duke of Chu. In the past, when the Duke of Chu went to war, Xingfu always served with the army.
Once, the Duke of Chu was assassinated. Xingfu blocked the sword for him and saved his life, but he himself was seriously injured and died.
Xingfu's wife died young, leaving him with only one son.
Therefore, the Duke of Chu took great care of Wang'er.
Wang'er is a sensible and well-behaved person and is trusted by him, so Wang'er cleans the study room where the plan is kept.
So only Wanger knew about the secret grid.
Unexpectedly, after a while, someone came to send a message and said that Wang'er was missing.
The Duke of Chu was furious and shouted: "Look for me. If you are alive, you will see the person, if you are dead, you will see the corpse."
Qing Yi's face gradually became serious, and the false calm in the mansion could no longer be maintained.
After a moment of chaos, someone suddenly heard someone shouting: "Found it, Wang'er has been found."
The Duke of Chu asked anxiously: "Where is he?"
The servant said: "In the well in the backyard."
The Duke of Chu was shocked, "Dead?"
The servant said: "There is still breath, Mr. Xiao is saving people..."
The Duke of Chu did not wait for the man to finish speaking. Holding the deployment plan under his arm, he rushed out first.
Qing Yi hurriedly followed.
Next to the well in the backyard.
Wang'er was lying on his back, and a servant was following Xiao Hua's instructions, pressing Wang'er's chest and abdomen. Well water spat out from Wang'er's mouth one after another.
"What's going on?" Chu Guogong half-squinted his angry eyes.
A servant on the side said: "Guanshi Lu went to the back to get something. He heard the sound of water in the well, so he came over to take a look. But he saw Wang'er soaking in the well, so he called for people and went down the well to try to save people. The people were rescued, but they didn't. He was angry, and Xiao Qilu happened to see him passing by, so he helped rescue him."
Qing Yi glanced at Xiao Hua, who was standing quietly aside. Is it really such a coincidence?
He returns home. Don't go anywhere else, just go here alone?
She looked at Xiao Hua, and Xiao Hua looked at her, his eyes as calm as water, without any waves. If Qing Yi hadn't come back with him, he would have believed that he was really passing by here.
After a while, Wanger coughed violently and woke up.
He weakly raised his hand to touch the bulge on the back of his head.
When he turned around and saw the deployment plan in Duke Chu's hand, his expression suddenly changed. Before Duke Chu could ask any questions, he had already knelt down and kowtowed. He cried: "The little one has betrayed the trust of the master. The little one deserves to die."
He almost died from drowning. There was no strength left in his body, and the bulge on the back of his head was in excruciating pain. After this knock, I felt my eyes were dim and I almost fainted.
The Duke of Chu's face was as cold as ice, "So you committed suicide by jumping into a well out of fear of sin?"
Wang'er cried: "No, the little one was knocked unconscious and pushed into the well."
The people present gasped.
Although it is said that many wealthy families have such and such shady things, and it is not uncommon to kill a lot of people, but it has never happened in the Duke of Chu's mansion.
The Duke of Chu glanced at a stone abandoned aside, "Who knocked you unconscious?"
Wang'er shook his head, "I don't know who it is."
Feeling the seriousness of the matter, Duke Chu frowned and looked at Manager Lu who was also soaked, "Did you save Wang'er?"
Manager Lu said: "Yes."
Duke Guo of Chu pointed at Wang'er and Steward Ji, "You, you come with me."
Manager Lu helped Wang'er stagger to his feet and followed closely behind Duke Chu.
Duke Chu looked at Xiao Hua again, hesitated for a moment and then said: "You come too."
Xiao Hua responded: "Yes." Walking beside Qing Yi.
After entering the study, the Duke of Chu closed the door, sat behind the desk, put the deployment plan on the table, and then looked at Manager Lu, "Tell me about the situation at that time."
Manager Lu told him how he found Wang'er and how he rescued Wang'er. It was no different from what the servant said just now.
Duke Chu frowned again and again, "So, there was no one else around at the time?"
Manager Lu said, "I never saw anyone. I heard footsteps running away."
The Duke of Chu asked: "What kind of footsteps are they?"
Manager Lu thought for a while and said, "The steps are fine, she looks like a woman."
female? The Duke of Chu quickly glanced at Qing Yi, who looked calm. According to the time, Qing Yi was in his study when Wang'er fell into the well. Naturally, it was impossible for Qing Yi to kill someone and silence him. He asked again: "You are in charge of compradors outside." , what are you doing in the backyard?"
Manager Lu said: "It was Mr. Xiao who said that the crow feeding bucket in the backyard was broken. He asked me to take it out, take it out and make another one. As soon as I went there, I found Wang'er..."
Duke Chu asked Xiao Hua, "Did you tell him to get the bucket?"
From the corner of Xiao Hua's eyes, he saw Qing Yi looking at him calmly. He pretended not to see him and said calmly, "Yes, I did give the order."
The Duke of Chu nodded and asked Manager Lu to go down.
After Manager Lu left, he asked Wang'er again, "What's going on with this picture?"
Wang'er slapped himself twice and cried, "It's the little kid who stole it. He deserves to die. Master, please beat him to death."
The Duke of Chu had great trust in Wang'er. When he heard that he had stolen it, he became even more furious. He stood up suddenly and kicked Wang'er over. "You are a rip-off, why did you steal this picture?" ?”
Wang'er was submerged in the water for a while, and his body was already weak. The Duke of Chu was a warrior, so this kick was not light, and Wang'er couldn't bear it immediately.
