Chapter 56 The Turtle in the Urn
But why should she die?
Qin Ruizhi suddenly tightened her grip on the railing.

Her mother Sheng Chongyu was dignified and virtuous, filial to her parents-in-law, kind to the orphans of the lieutenants, and courteous to her husband's concubines. She managed the huge general's mansion in order, but ended up with the tragic end of having her son taken by caesarean section.

With the help of the servants in the palace, she escaped from the palace and ran all the way into the palace. Along the Xuanwu Avenue, she kowtowed step by step, knocked on the palace door, knelt in front of the emperor, and begged the emperor to seek justice for her mother.

But the aloof emperor, remembering that Gu Bingyi protected him during the chaos in the middle palace and supported him as a great treasure, only lightly fined Gu Bingyi for half a year's salary.

As for the concubine who had her mother cut open to take out her child, she was only punished and could never be straightened up.In the next few years, as time passed, she was given the title of Mrs. Xuanji.

Although she was a concubine, she was in charge of the internal affairs of the general's palace. She often entertained the royal family and nobles of Kyoto as a hostess, and the children she gave birth to were treated as legitimate sons and daughters.

And she could only live outside, living an ignoble existence, and even her brother in her mother's belly didn't have the chance to open his eyes and see the world!
The Sheng family was also a loyal military general who fought abroad, shed blood, lost lives, and made great contributions. The eldest son went to Beijing to file a complaint, but died in a ditch outside the city. The murder case was never solved.

Why?Why?
Killing for life is justified.

Since others don't give her justice, she must seek justice herself.

Since a dog and an emperor cannot tell the difference between right and wrong, then change to an emperor who can distinguish between right and wrong.

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

She has to sacrifice herself to become a benevolent person. Since she is allowed to live another life, she will continue to commit suicide to become a benevolent person.

Qin Ruizhi's eyes narrowed, and she turned around suddenly, glanced at Zheng Pin's door, then walked back to the house with light and healthy steps, and slowly closed the door.

After an unknown amount of time, the noisy sound of drinking in the hall gradually stopped, and footsteps could be heard on the stairs. It was expected that Qin Qingyue had finished drinking and returned to the room to rest.

After about two cups of tea, it was late at night and the surroundings were silent.

Qin Ruizhi held the knife in her hand and pressed against the door. She listened to the movement outside the door and only heard the weak wind blowing through the corridor. She quietly opened the door and closed the door behind her back.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Qin Qingyue tiptoeing towards her. His movements were so light that he barely put his feet on his shoulders. Suddenly when he saw Qin Ruizhi, his steps stopped, his expression froze, and he soon put on a smile. , "Oh, it's my sister. I drank too much and went to the toilet."

Qin Ruizhi pointed to the stairs behind him, "The toilet is in the backyard. You have to go down the stairs first, go out the back door, and turn left."

"Oh..." Qin Qingyue shook his confused mind, squinted his eyes, and then started to look for the door. His voice began to sound drunken and blurred, "Look at me, I drank too much, my brain is confused, and I don't even know the road. .”

As he spoke, he burped, "I... I'm going to the toilet. Sister, you... you should go to bed early. You have to go to the bathroom tomorrow morning."

Then he turned around and staggered towards the stairs. When he went down the stairs, he almost fell down because his feet were too weak.

When he got down to the first floor, Qin Qingyue turned around, glanced at Qin Ruizhi, and smiled widely at her. After turning around, he immediately stopped smiling.

Qin Ruizhi stood on the second floor. From the angle where she stood, she could see this change clearly. Her face changed so quickly that it was as if the silly expression just now had never appeared on Qin Qingyue's face.

Qin Ruizhi was stunned.

Suddenly she realized that Qin Qingyue's appearance in the Gao family happened to be the day after she took in Zheng Pin. The Gao family was attacked late at night. This timing was too coincidental.

Could it be... Thinking of this, Qin Ruizhi's body couldn't help but tremble, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the blade.

At this moment, a ray of fire gathered in his eyes, and before Qin Ruizhi could react, it exploded instantly, penetrated the window of the medical center, and penetrated into the door frame, the wall, and the window. Arrows appeared one after another. With the kerosene, the glue on the window was instantly ignited and the fire began to spread.

"No...it's Gao's assassin again that night!"

Qin Ruizhi covered her mouth and nose, kicked open Zheng Pin's door, lifted him up from the bed, and dragged him out without caring about his unhealed injuries.

When he went out, Zheng Pin's head hit the door frame and he woke up from the pain.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the fire coming towards his face. He grabbed Qin Ruizhi's arm and screamed in shock, "They're here again, aren't they?"

"..." Qin Ruizhi did not answer, but silence was already the answer.

Zheng Pin endured the pain and got up from the ground. With Qin Ruizhi's strength, the two of them walked side by side towards the stairs, preparing to go down the stairs.

Passing by Qin Qingyue's room, Zheng Pin still knocked on the door and said, "Qin Qingyue, get up quickly, an assassin is coming."

Qin Ruizhi glanced coldly, "He went to the toilet, don't worry about him, go downstairs first, wake up the guards on the first floor, and still have a fight with them."

Having said that, at this moment, there is no need to work hard. These guards have been drunk by Qin Qingyue and are sleeping. They are lucky to be able to walk out of the post house alive.

Qin Qingyue's purpose in getting them drunk turned out to be this.

If just now, Qin Ruizhi just thought that Qin Qingyue's appearance in the Gao family was too coincidental and more like a deliberate act, then now Qin Qingyue has just left the toilet,

The gang of assassins launched an attack, and then cooperated with Qin Qingyue to get the twenty guards drunk. At this moment, Qin Qingyue had nothing to do with the gang at this moment, and I am afraid that even a three-year-old child would not believe it.

Originally, Qin Ruizhi allowed Qin Qingyue to get them drunk, just to fish in troubled waters and destroy Zheng Pin's confession hidden in the gauze on his heart while everyone was asleep. If necessary, he could also get rid of Zheng Pin.

But now, not to mention Zheng Pin, she and she had become a turtle in a urn, being roasted by fire, with no way to escape.

At this moment, Qin Ruizhi couldn't even think about who Qin Qingyue was working for, so she had to go downstairs in a hurry.

As soon as I got down to the first floor, I saw a waiter from the post house carrying two large buckets of water.

Qin Ruizhi's sword had been unsheathed, but before she could take action, she saw the inn boy cursing:
"Bah, you damn people, living in an inn has caused me so much trouble. My inn has been open for so many years, and there have been so many guests staying in it from north to south, and it has always been safe and sound.

Something will happen when you come.If I had known you were so evil, I wouldn't have earned your dozens of taels of silver no matter what.It's really a loss of my wife and a loss of soldiers.

Hey, those dozens of people on the first floor must not die in my post house, otherwise even if they cut me into pieces, it won’t be enough to compensate. "

Then he murmured some complaints, carried a bucket to the bunkhouse on the first floor, poured it over the heads of the sleeping guards, and gave them a sobering cold shower, which made them sleepy.
