It's early morning.
The lights in Chengguo Mansion were still bright.
But there was silence.
From time to time, on the deserted streets of the inner city, there were noisy footsteps and the sounds of weapons and armor colliding.
The Wang family, Zhang family, and Luo family, two of the four major families in Mo City, were all surrounded by a large number of soldiers.
The family members who were sleeping soundly in the mansion were awakened from their dreams in fear.
For a moment, people were in panic.
In front of the gate of Chengguo Mansion, Qin Wenzhen and his family came out of the courtyard and got on the carriage at the gate.
Surrounded by guards and maids, he slowly drove away.
The Prince of the Southern Kingdom directly set up a trial court in Chengguo Mansion and began to try the case overnight.
As the first person to arrest the criminal and obtain evidence and confession tonight, Qin Chuan was naturally called in alone and asked many questions.
It was already early morning when I came out.
The carriage slowly drove onto the empty street.
There was silence in the carriage for a while.
Song Ruyue finally couldn't help herself and looked at her son sitting opposite with a smile on her face, and said excitedly: "Chuan'er, your performance tonight really impressed me. I always thought you were simple-minded and strong-limbed, and you were good for nothing except martial arts. I didn't expect you to bring me such a big surprise tonight!"
Qin Chuan was frowning and thinking about something. Hearing this, he shouted with resentment: "Mother, if you can't speak, just say less or don't say anything."
Song Ruyue had been venting all the depression she had been holding in for the past few days tonight, so she felt extremely refreshed now. She did not blame him for his attitude, and laughed, "Chuan'er, tell mother quickly. How did you find out about the Song family's fugitives? How did you know where they were hiding? How did you catch them? And how did you interrogate those people hiding in the inner city? Tell mother quickly!"
Qin Chuan looked up at her and said with a depressed look: "Mom, if I say I don't know these things, I am still confused until now, do you believe it?"
Song Ruyue: “???”
Qin Wen Zheng on the side said nothing and looked at his daughter.
Qin Chuan had a complicated expression, and he slowly recounted what happened today: "I was practicing in the backyard in the afternoon, and Wei Mo came to find me and told me to take people to the outer city to catch the Song family fugitives in the evening. When I went there, the small courtyard was blown up, and there were many people around. Then Xia Chan appeared and led me to another small courtyard. After entering the house, I found that there were heads on the ground, and there were three living people. Those three living people looked tortured beyond recognition. Before I asked any questions, they directly said that I confessed, I confessed... Obviously, I had been beaten and interrogated, but it was definitely not Xia Chan. That girl only knows how to kill people, I know."
"Then I asked Xia Chan what happened and who helped her do it, but she ignored me and only gave me three confessions and a blueprint. The blueprint had a route drawn on it, saying that the remaining thieves were in a small courtyard in the inner city, and asked me to take people there to kill them all."
"Then I put the head and the three prisoners into a sack and took them away. I went to the small courtyard in the inner city with Xia Chan. As soon as I arrived, I smelled blood. When I went in, I saw three bodies lying on the ground, their heads and bodies separated. The rest of the people huddled in a corner in fear, looking up at the sky. Then Xia Chan and I killed them all..."
"Then, Xia Chan gave me a piece of paper with what I should say when I went to Chengguo Mansion that night. I recited it several times before I remembered it..."
At this point, Qin Chuan spread out his hands, looked at Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue opposite him and said: "Dad, Mom, you see, I have been like a puppet from beginning to end, being led around all the time. Even the words I said at the end in Chengguo Mansion were just memorized from the paper. Do you think I am confused? Do you think I am depressed? Although what happened tonight is very gratifying, I feel a little sad, because it seems that I have done a lot, but it seems that I have done nothing..."
After listening to this, Song Ruyue remained silent.
Luo Qingzhou, who was sitting next to Miss Qin Er, glanced at her and heard the mother-in-law sighing in her heart: She is still a fool as expected, and looks even more foolish than before. It seems that I, the lady of honor, can no longer rely on this big fool.
Qin Wenzheng was silent for a while, then looked at his daughter sitting opposite him and asked, "Wei Mo, did you plan all this?"
Qin Weimo smiled slightly and did not answer.
Qin Wenzheng's eyes flashed, he glanced at the young man next to her, and asked, "Besides Xia Chan, who else is there? The old man surnamed Mei is at least a martial artist, Song Yan is also a martial artist, and there are so many martial artists, Xia Chan can't handle them alone. As for interrogating the prisoners and asking them to press their fingerprints and sign, that girl is even more impossible to do. Wei Mo, there is no need to hide this from us, right?"
Qin Chuan also looked at her eagerly and said, "Wei Mo, quickly tell my second brother, who else went with Xia Chan? How many people? My second brother really wants to know who it is that is so powerful!"
Song Ruyue also immediately urged: "Wei Mo, speak quickly!"
Qin Weimo hesitated for a moment, looked at them and said, "If I tell you, I'm afraid you won't believe it."
"Believe it! Of course we believe it! Wei Mo, as long as you say it, it will never be false! Second brother knows that you never lie!"
"Wei Mo, Daddy believes in you too, just tell me."
Song Ruyue said nothing.
Qin Weimo was silent for a while, then he said softly, "It's Bai Ling."
As soon as these words were spoken, the carriage fell into silence.
"Bai Ling?"
After a moment of silence, Qin Chuan was shocked: "How could it be her? Hasn't she never practiced martial arts? Besides giggling and ruining flowers, doesn't she know anything else?"
Song Ruyue frowned, glanced at him and said, "Xia Chan is so powerful, she can even subdue Xia Chan, do you think she really can't do anything? It turns out that she is simple-minded but strong-limbed!"
Qin Wenzheng also said: "I have seen it a long time ago. That girl is not simple."
Qin Chuan looked dazed and stopped talking.
Qin Weimo glanced at the three of them, and then said softly, "Bai Ling didn't want everyone to know about her affairs, so she didn't show up. Dad, Mom, Second Brother, just assume that Weimo didn't tell you anything tonight. When you go back, don't tell anyone about her affairs, otherwise she will be angry, understand?"
Qin Wen Zheng nodded.
Song Ruyue snorted, "If she wants to pretend, then let her continue to pretend. Who would be so bored as to talk about these things?"
Qin Chuan was still in a daze.
Qin Weimo looked at him and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Chuan was silent for a while, and Fang suddenly looked up at her and said, "Wei Mo, um... can you help my second brother?"
Qin Weimo was slightly startled and said, "Second brother, please speak."
Qin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then clenched his fists and said, "Wei Mo, can you help my second brother talk to Jian Jia and ask Bai Ling to be my... my maid, okay?"
Qin Weimo: “…”
Qin Wenzheng's face suddenly darkened, and he scolded, "Chuan'er, I've told you long ago that Xia Chan and Bailing are not ordinary people. What's wrong with you to let them be your maids? If what Weimo just said is true, Bailing is the benefactor and treasure of my Qin Mansion. To be your maid? Why don't you go to heaven?"
Qin Chuan's face suddenly turned red and he dared not say another word.
Song Ruyue frowned and was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Master, with Bailing's appearance and ability, she definitely can't be a maid for our Chuan'er, but... Chuan'er is an adult and still hasn't married, so I have an idea... Hehe, the rich water should not flow to outsiders, and the one who is close to the water will get the moon first, what do you think, Master?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something was wrong. She subconsciously looked across, at the young man sitting next to her daughter, who had not spoken a word since getting on the carriage.
Qin Chuan was shocked when he heard her words: "Mother, what do you mean?"
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qin Chuan clenched his fists and said: "I... I think..."
"What the hell do you want!"
Song Ruyue curled her lips and immediately changed her tone: "I was just teasing you on purpose. I was just joking with you. Do you think that girl Bailing would like you? You're dreaming!"
Qin Wenzheng was surprised: "Chuan'er, have you finally come to your senses? Are you starting to have feelings for women?"
Qin Chuan's mouth twitched and his face flushed. He quickly explained, "Dad, Mom, you misunderstood. I saw that Bailing was so powerful that she even beat the martial artist to death. I thought that I just needed someone to practice with, so I wanted to take her over to practice with me temporarily. It's boring to beat wooden people all day long. I want to beat living people hard."
Song Ruyue: “…”
Qin Wenzheng: “…”
The couple both put their hands on their foreheads and lowered their heads, looking worried.
Qin Weimo covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
She seemed to suddenly remember something, turned her head and looked at the boy beside her.
He remained silent all the way without saying a word.
Did you suddenly feel empty inside after taking revenge
Or are you still reminiscing about your time in Chengguo Mansion
"Brother-in-law..."
"I'm fine."
Luo Qingzhou came to his senses, turned around, opened the curtain, stuck his head out, and looked at the lonely figure following behind. After taking a look, he lowered the curtain and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, second brother, second young lady, you guys chat, I'll go talk to Xia Chan."
After saying this, he opened the door curtain, got off the carriage and walked to the back.
Xia Chan looked at him, was stunned for a moment, and stopped.
There was silence in the carriage for a while.
Song Ruyue suddenly said, "Wei Mo, tell me honestly, was that boy planning today's events for you? Although you are smart and wise, such cruel things as killing people and beheading people and wiping out the four major families are not something that a weak woman like you can plan."
Qin Wen Zheng also looked at his daughter, his eyes sparkling.
Qin Weimo did not answer, but just suppressed a smile and said: "Mother, you seem to be very afraid of your brother-in-law tonight. Since you got on the carriage, you dare not even look at him. Are you afraid that he will remember the things you scolded him for before?"
"I... I didn't!"
