The time was almost up and she had no patience to wait any longer. At this time, the Fu Jiajun people should be back.
Wen Qingzhu calculated in his mind that the people she sent out earlier actually appeared in the yard.
The number of people they were escorting was no more, no less, exactly seven.
It was the seven that Zhao Qing failed to catch.
Wen Qingzhu stood up, and Zhao Lin followed suit.
Fu Jiajun escorted the people over, and Wen Qingzhu looked at them one by one. Everyone's mental state was a little depressed.
It looks like he was drugged in a suicide attempt.
Wen Qingzhu pointed to the back and said: "Bring the people in first, I will go over to interrogate them later."
"Yes!" They took everyone away together.
Less than two-quarters of an hour later, Zhao Qing came back with his people.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him with a smile, and saw Zhao Qing coming to her and kneeling down directly: "I'm not doing my job well, please punish me!"
"No need! I have sent people to capture the remaining people." Wen Qingzhu turned around and walked into the house.
Zhao Qing, who was behind him, suddenly raised his head, his pupils tightening as he looked at Wen Qingzhu's back.
Wen Qingzhu actually made all the arrangements
Zhao Lin saw Wen Qingzhu walking away, so he walked over and quietly said to Zhao Qing: "Brother, the Fu Jiajun came back just now and brought seven people back with them. We should have failed to catch them."
Zhao Qing took a deep breath and saw that Wen Qingzhu had entered the room and sat down. He waved to him from a distance to let him in.
It seemed that that person was right. Compared to Wen Qingzhu, Fu Lie was easier to deal with.
Zhao Qing stood up and walked into the room, still kneeling down to apologize, with a full posture.
Wen Qingzhu just looked at him: "General Zhao, I know very well who does what, so you have to understand that I have my reasons for asking you to send troops to fight head-on, whether it's Shuangfeng Mountain or Yun It is more difficult to attack the Huns than to attack the Xiongnu head-on. You are indeed a veteran of two dynasties, but don’t forget how your Zhao family got its start."
The origin of the Zhao family is a thorn in the side of brothers Zhao Qing and Zhao Lin.
In the past, even Lu Chengen would have given a thumbs-down to someone who would never use their origins as an excuse.
But today Wen Qingzhu said it, and the expressions of the two brothers changed.
Although there were no other people around, the atmosphere was inexplicably cold and solemn.
Wen Qingzhu didn't intend to let it go. He picked up the tea at hand, took a sip, then gently put it down and began to explain to them carefully.
"Your grandfather, Eunuch Zhao, raised the late emperor single-handedly, and later died to protect the late emperor. Only then did he make your father the son of Eunuch Zhao, and he was rewarded with countless gold and silver, which was regarded as a temporary favor. But you His father failed to live up to expectations and committed a crime and was imprisoned. This was the decline of the Zhao family.
Fortunately, you two brothers are still up to par and performed well in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. It happened that the late emperor only needed manpower to decentralize power in Dingyuan, so you seized the opportunity and volunteered. The late emperor looked at you coldly for a few years and thought you were pretty good, so he re-employed you. That's why Zhao Jiajun is today. "
Zhao Qing's face was as stiff as iron, but he was still calm.
Zhao Lin didn't have Zhao Qing's endurance. His hands were clenching and his breathing became heavy.
Obviously all Wen Qingzhu had to say was: "You are the eunuch's grandson!"
Looking at their reactions, Wen Qingzhu could see how much they had suffered over the years.
But no matter how much hardship they endure, they deserve it.
Wen Qingzhu looked at them calmly: "I don't mean to belittle you when I say this to you today, but I want to tell you that princes, generals, Xiang Ning, etc. have a lot of talent, and their origin is not important. If you care too much, you will easily be taken advantage of. , General Zhao, does he understand what I said?"
Zhao Qing was unmoved by the previous sentence, but when it came to the princes and generals who followed, Zhao Qing finally became moved.
He even felt recognized, but Zhao Qing still didn't show any signs of it.
Because he knew very well that Wen Qingzhu was good at mental tricks.
Zhao Qing raised his head and straightened his back: "Thank you, Princess, for your advice. I understand!"
Wen Qingzhu looked at him: "I hope General Zhao can really understand. In this world now, there is only one problem in Dingyuan. When the Huns are defeated and the world is settled, it will be the time to settle accounts after the fall. General Zhao will not I listened to the slander for a while and made an unwise choice.”
"I am determined to serve Da Qi till my death!" Zhao Qing bowed deeply and gave a grand salute.
Zhao Lin looked at them and didn't quite understand what they said, but he still knelt down and saluted.
Wen Qingzhu accepted their great gift and asked them to get up: "Take care of the spies today, and tomorrow the two generals will set off to Yonghe Pass with me."
"I obey!" Zhao Qing and Zhao Lin responded in unison with loud voices.
He said goodbye and left, heading to the military camp.
After a while, Zuotang came over. In front of him, Wen Qingzhu sent people from the Fu Jiajun to follow him.
Zuotang could only lower his head, pretending not to see or hear anything.
After arranging these matters, Zuotang followed Wen Qingzhu's instructions and went out to guide the people.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and went to the prison.
The seven people who were caught in the end needed to be interrogated.
After asking six people in a row, Wen Qingzhu found nothing, and even wondered whether she had missed many people.
With this mood, she entered the last prison.
When the jailer raised the prisoner's face, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but be startled.
What appeared in front of her was a delicate face, with red lips and white teeth, and her features were truly picturesque.
Because of his disheveled hair and temporary ill-fitting clothes, he looked embarrassed and inconspicuous.
Wen Qingzhu stood in front of him and looked at him carefully.
And this man who was as beautiful as a woman was also looking at Wen Qingzhu.
As the two of them looked at each other quietly, Wen Qingzhu suddenly stopped, looked into his eyes and asked, "Are you a prostitute?"
"Ha!" the man sneered, "Sir, you are actually a fellow-minded person."
The irony is self-evident.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and asked the jailer: "Where did he get him?"
The jailer brought over the letter that the Fu Jiajun had left earlier: "Sir, please read it."
Wen Qingzhu took it and scanned it, frowning immediately.
He was actually captured from a different courtyard. When he was captured, there was a fat old man on top of him.
Wen Qingzhu put away the letter, turned to look at the man in front of him, and said with a smile: "I am indeed interested in men, but it's a pity that I really have no interest in people like you."
The man said nothing. He was now a prisoner, just at the mercy of others.
So staying silent is the way to live longer.
Wen Qingzhu became a little interested in this person, not for anything else, but because he was curious in his heart, who could make such a person work hard for him.
After thinking about it, Wen Qingzhu could only think of one person, and that was the Fourth Prince Zhita over there.
He grew up with Wang Tu and must have an extremely good understanding of the Central Plains culture.
So Wen Qingzhu tried to open a breakthrough from here: "What's your name?"
The man frowned and raised his head, looking at her with some confusion.
Wen Qingzhu smiled kindly: "Don't worry, I just want to know who is so charming that you can betray Da Qi."
"Hahaha!" The man raised his head and laughed, then stared at Wen Qingzhu resentfully, "Why wouldn't I betray Da Qi? What's so good about Da Qi! Collusion between government and businessmen! Collaboration! Da Qi will be destroyed sooner or later! Otherwise, the Xiongnu will be destroyed. The rebellion will succeed! Isn’t this how dynasties change!"
Listening to the words he spoke, Wen Qingzhu looked at him up and down: "Have you read a book? Are you from a good family?"
"So what if you are a good man! He is just a man of fame! He is treated as a plaything by you high-ranking treacherous ministers and traitors! Daqi and the law are nothing but a joke!"
The man started to become hysterical, his eyes were red, and he looked at Wen Qingzhu as if he wanted to eat him alive.
At this point, Wen Qingzhu noticed something was wrong and asked, "Are you famous?"
"Humph!" The man just gave him a sneer.
Wen Qingzhu felt something was wrong, so he walked over personally and brushed away the messy hair in front of his face.
Unexpectedly, the man twisted his mouth and bit the back of Wen Qingzhu's hand, and blood immediately overflowed from between his lips and tongue.
Wen Qingzhu's face does not change. Such a character cannot be unknown.
Suddenly, the man let go of his mouth and looked at her in shock. His voice was too sharp and distorted: "You are a woman!"
Wen Qingzhu retracted his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on the back of his hand, still smiling kindly: "Yes, I am a woman, but I am still a woman of high authority."
She turned around and walked out while saying, "I originally wanted to interrogate you, but I think your resentment may be excusable. I will investigate your matter after I go to Yonghe Pass and repel the Huns."
Wen Qingzhu walked out of the cell and asked the jailer to take good care of the man.
The man who was tied to the rack had a dazed look in his eyes. Was the woman going to fight off the Huns
Could it be—
wrong! Not her!
The man shook his head quickly, as if he wanted to get something, and his expression became panicked.
Wen Qingzhu walked slowly outside the cell, taking in the changes in his expression.
The man in front of her seemed worthy of her investigation.
After leaving the cell, Wen Qingzhu told Zuo Tang: "This place will be like what it was like when I left, so it will be like when I come back. Master Zuo, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood! I will definitely do my best!" Zuotang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't arrange anything else.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu left, he immediately went to the cell and asked about what happened just now.
I heard that Wen Qingzhu changed his mind when he interrogated the last prisoner again.
Zuotang went over to take a look, and his eyes widened immediately: It was him! He is still alive!
The man heard the movement at the cell door. He looked up and saw Zuotang, and his breathing suddenly stopped.
The two looked at each other, and the man bit his lip tightly, his eyes full of panic.
But Zuo Tang's face was ashen, as if he had been killed.
But thinking of Wen Qingzhu's instructions, he could only hold back the anger in his heart, fiercely shook off his sleeves, turned around and left.
With his good looks, he even got into trouble with the princess!
Zuotang felt that he must tell Fu Lie about this!
So he immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Fu Lie.
That night, Wen Qingzhu got news about the man in the cell.
Jasmine was narrating to her: "His name is Bai Liufang. He is from Texas and has a rare reputation for talent. When he was twelve years old, he passed the examination as a scholar. When he was fifteen years old, he disappeared on the way to take the exam. Later, his body was found and he disappeared. But in fact He was captured and kept in captivity, and now five years have passed, and no one knows what he experienced during that period."
"It seems that someone has taken a liking to him." Wen Qingzhu knew very well that for anyone to be beautiful and unable to protect her, it would be a crime to harbor a treasure.
Just as she was thinking about it, Jasmine added: "According to the information I found here, Bai Liufang and Miss Zuo Binning seem to know each other. Five years ago, he came to Dingyuan City once, and it seemed that he was Miss Zuo. My friends are here!”
"Has he been to Dingyuan City?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised.
Jasmine nodded: "Yes, I don't know exactly what happened, but I heard that he stayed here for half a month and was later sent away overnight by Zuo Bingning."
Wen Qingzhu felt that things seemed to be getting more complicated. This Bai Liufang actually knew Zuo Bingning!
Then does he know Lu Ce
