The matter has become so serious that even Master Bai Qi has been arrested. Since he is willing to betray Princess Fenyang, why won't he betray other people
And there is Princess Fenyang. When people are in desperate situations, they usually say everything.
Mr. Bai Qi might not have done that before, but this time, the final charge was clearly written in the official newspaper.
Go out to sea privately.
No one knows better than Qiu Chuxing what these words mean.
The imperial court was already aware of Juhaizhuang’s activities and knew that they were smuggling.
That... ..
When he thought of that possibility, his heart skipped a beat. His scalp began to feel numb, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head. He stood there in a daze for a long time before he suddenly opened the door and shouted to his followers, "Quick, prepare the horses! I want to go out!"
No, we can't just sit there and wait for death, and we can't rely on luck.
Even if Mr. Bai Qi only confessed to the smuggling, how could Emperor Yuanfeng not have thought of the hidden conspiracy behind it
If we investigate further, how can we hide the young master's affairs? !
The people below didn't know why he was suddenly so excited, but seeing how hurried he was, and knowing that he always had a bad temper, they didn't dare to disobey him. They quickly agreed and turned around to prepare. Qiu Chuxing stood in the corridor holding the official newspaper, and was completely terrified.
At this time, the attendant who had been ordered to prepare the horses came running in, looking at Qiu Chuxing with a pale face: "Sir... something happened, sir! A lot of soldiers came outside and surrounded our mansion!"
Surrounding the prefectural government office, if someone had mentioned this to Qiu Chuxing in the past, Qiu Chuxing would have spit at them without hesitation and laughed his teeth off.
But now that this incident had really happened, he was speechless. He stood there in a daze for a moment before asking again, "What did you say?"
The attendant was so anxious that he was scratching his ears and cheeks. Seeing that Qiu Chuxing looked very different from usual, he felt something was wrong and was about to speak tremblingly. However, outside, he heard the sound of uniform footsteps, which came closer and closer. It sounded particularly strange in the dark night.
Qiu Chuxing raised his head and walked down the corridor. When he reached the moon-shaped gate, he bumped into a group of people who were about to enter the gate.
Then his lips moved, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground with a thud.
He had already recognized that the person leading the team was Guangping Marquis Song Che.
No wonder no matter how chaotic things are these days, everything is so calm here.
No wonder the court made such a big fuss about the case, but the news that Bai Qiye and others had been captured was not delivered to him until today.
It turned out that the imperial court was just trying to confuse them and make them mistakenly believe that the imperial court had not found out the extent they were worried about.
Song Che was wearing armor. Although he was quite old now, he was still in good shape. When he met Qiu Chuxing's gaze, he raised his hand coldly. Song Xiangyu immediately jumped out from behind him with a few people and pounced towards Qiu Chuxing steadily, accurately and ruthlessly.
With this situation, even if Qiu Chuxing could really fight ten people alone, there would be no way he could escape.
Qiu Chuxing's heart sank to the bottom. Song Xiangyu leaped at him and his center of balance was unstable. He fell backwards and hit the ground with the back of his head with a dull thud.
He was stunned by the collision. When he came to his senses, he was frightened and anxious by Song Xiangyu's momentum, and immediately rolled in the opposite direction.
It can’t fall into the hands of the Song family father and son!
His first thought was that there was no telling how many deadly things Master Bai Qi had revealed. If he had really told everything, then the father and son of the Song family would be like the King of Hell who had come to collect debts, and his life would definitely be in danger.
At this moment, he no longer cared about his official position. He just wanted to run away.
Song Xiangyu chased him and stepped on his shoulder without hesitation, pinning him to the spot like a nail. He lowered his head and sneered at him: "Sir, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Qiu Chuxing opened his mouth, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky: "I should ask you this, who are you? How dare you break into the prefectural government? Do you know that it is a capital crime?!"
Song Xiangyu sneered and waved his hand back. Immediately, a soldier came forward and put a token in his hand. He shook the token at Qiu Chuxing and asked sarcastically, "Why, does Lord Qiu recognize this thing?"
The last glimmer of hope in Qiu Chuxing's heart was extinguished. Before he could react, he was dragged by Song Xiangyu from the yard to the steps like a sack.
Although it was autumn, it was not that cold after all. He was wearing thin clothes, and being dragged on the ground like this, his clothes on the back were rubbed, and his entire back was burning with pain, as if it was being roasted on a fire.
Song Xiangyu dragged him to the hall without hesitation, threw him to the ground like a dead dog, and asked directly: "How did you know the whereabouts of the former crown prince, and how did you collude with Qi Yunxi to attack the former crown prince?"
As soon as this question was asked, Qiu Chuxing was scared to death.
Mr. Bai Qi really said everything!
His heart went cold as he thought of what Master Bai Qi said in Quanzhou. His teeth suddenly struck his tongue and he couldn't help but grit his teeth in pain.
Song Che came in later. He was more polite than Song Xiangyu. After sitting at the head, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Chuxing, saying in a deep voice: "Master Qiu, you are also a smart person. You should know that since we came here, we already have evidence. For your own sake, let's not trouble each other, don't you think?"
Qiu Chuxing's tongue was numb, and he couldn't breathe because of Song Xiangyu's stepping on him. He had no choice but to turn his head away and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Really?" Song Che chuckled. Seeing that Song Xiangyu was about to attack again, he waved his hand to let Song Xiangyu calm down. He looked at Qiu Chuxing leisurely, "Master Qiu, we all know whether you really don't understand or you are pretending not to understand. Well, since you are still so insistent, it doesn't matter. You are in charge of the Huizhou sea area. Mr. Bai said that you have a way to contact Shen Hai's people. Whether it is true or not, I think we can't verify it. Since Master Qiu deliberately wants to complicate things, then we might as well make it more complicated. It would be best to make a case that will shock the whole Great Zhou like Master Bai Qi did."
As he spoke, he coldly ordered his men, "All the people in the prefect's back office should be detained, and the women should be detained separately. In Mr. Qiu's study, not a single piece of paper with words on it should be left out. We are all very useful."
Song Che's orders were strictly enforced. Once he gave the order, his men would carry it out without hesitation, which made Qiu Chuxing's right eyelid twitch.
