Chapter 64
"So, you were the one who put me in the water prison?"

Qin Ruizhi was soaking in the water prison, her hair was soaked and hanging loosely on her face. A few strands of hair blocked her vision. Her arms were hung again, and she raised her head high and shook it hard to make her vision clearer. Some.

She had to see what the uncle who threw her into the water prison looked like. After seeing clearly, she fluttered the chains and rolled up a chain of water towards Gao Chengying.

Gao Chengying was caught off guard and poured water all over his face. He wiped the water on his face and remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

How could he let his sister's child end up in a water prison?

He, the minister of Dali Temple, didn't even know about the two people being put into the water prison. He only found out about it just after he entered the prison.

While hesitating and remaining silent, Qin Qingyue burst into laughter.

Gao Chengying got up and walked to Qin Qingyue's cell. He slapped him on the head through the iron railing, hating that iron could not become steel:
"You bastard, you are getting more and more into trouble now. You used to just play around with money, but now you are so bold that you even dare to interfere in national affairs. With your brain, you will lose ten times in gambling, and you still dare to interfere in it." It's a national matter, no matter how many heads you have, you won't be able to lose it. Even if you are the bastard yourself, your sister will be hurt."

Qin Qingyue suppressed his smile, tried his best to pretend to be ignorant and aggrieved, and said angrily: "Uncle, I didn't get involved in national affairs. I just...

I owed Yang Mengzhang 5000 taels of silver, and I annoyed him over trivial matters. He wanted it urgently, and my father refused to pay me back. I really couldn't afford it, so I thought of going to Puzhou to find my fourth uncle to hide.

When I went there, Zheng Pin was already at my fourth uncle's house.Later, he wanted to return to Kyoto and asked his sister to accompany him as an escort. I thought that my 5000 tael of gambling debt had not yet been settled. .

Zheng Pin is the son of Prime Minister Zheng. If I can follow him back to Beijing, I might be able to make a fortune from him and get some money to pay off my gambling debts.Who would have known that he was a evil star and would be hunted down wherever he went, and I almost lost my life. "

Gao Chengying's face was extremely dark, but he was not overly harsh. He said gently: "Xiangzhou cleared up a money-making workshop, and Zheng Pin was originally to help escort the owner back to Beijing.

Now that the owner of the workshop is dead, it is said that the confession was also burned. Now that there is no proof, the huge money-making workshop has become an ownerless ghost.

Your Majesty is furious and someone must be responsible for this.You are involved in something big, and even my uncle may not be able to protect you. "

Speaking of the burned confession, Qin Qingyue remembered that in the Chongzhou Post House, the confession wrapped in gauze from the injured area of ​​Zheng Pin was burned to pieces in the fire and turned into ashes.

Originally, Qin Qingyue was planning to kill Zheng Pin as well, but Qin Ruizhi had been protecting Zheng Pin and had no chance to make a move.

What's more, Zheng Pin is the son of Prime Minister Zheng. If Zheng Pin dies, none of the group of people who escorted Zheng Pin back to Beijing, including their brothers and sisters, will be able to escape Zheng Tongen's personal revenge and will not be able to reach Kyoto alive.

The current situation is very good. Zheng Pin is still alive, but his claims are unsubstantiated and there is no investigation.

If Zheng Pin was smart enough, he should have kept the fact that Qin Ruizhi had read Tongli Ting's confession in his stomach. Losing the confession would be considered dereliction of duty at best, and revealing that Qin Ruizhi had seen the confession would be considered bullying.

Which one is more important, I believe Zheng Pin has his own considerations.

When they were imprisoned, Zheng Tongen had to remember the kindness of protecting his children and save their lives.

There was unusual excitement on Qin Qingyue's face. He licked his lips and turned the topic to the money-making workshop, "Then we have to copy a lot of money, right? It's a pity that I'm not in Xiangzhou, otherwise I'd have to get some money. I'm like this The gambling debt is settled."

The expression on Gao Chengying's face was stagnant, and then he slapped Qin Qingyue on the head, "You don't know whether to live or die, and privately minting money is a capital crime. If you want to punish the nine tribes, there are not enough heads in the Gao family to chop off." After the curse. , calmed down again, and asked with concern: "Do you really not know about the Xiangzhou Money Casting Workshop?"

Qin Qingyue responded with a playful smile, "I just found out. Uncle, you told me."

Gao Chengying didn't believe Qin Qingyue's words. He had witnessed Qin Qingyue's lies countless times in the past ten years.

He moved to Qin Ruizhi's side again, with kind eyes and a kind face, "Ruizhi, you are suffering. Tell me what's going on. I want to find a way to save you."

Qin Ruizhi shook the chain again. Gao Chengying thought she was going to splash water on him again, so he took a few steps back and distanced himself from Qin Ruizhi.

"My hands hurt, my legs hurt, my throat hurts, and I can't speak." Qin Ruizhi brushed the broken hair on her face, which was hanging down and felt uncomfortable. She raised her head with a naive and charming look: "Uncle, you Help me change a place, and when I rest for a while and my voice can speak again, I will tell you everything."

I don't know who sent them to the water prison, but to be able to surpass him, the minister of Dali Temple, and put his nephew in the water prison, he must have a higher official rank than him.

Gao Chengying was silent, thinking in his mind whether to change their cells.

Qin Qingyue pulled the chain loudly and begged pitifully: "Uncle, I injured my leg in Chongzhou. Half of the leg's flesh was burned, and it's difficult to walk. I'm afraid I'll be disabled if I soak in the water again. I have lost this leg. I have become like this. It is difficult to get a wife. If I am really disabled, I will never be able to get a wife in this life, and my Qin family will be extinct. "

Gao Chengying was furious and teased: "Your father married again and gave birth to a son and a daughter. It's not your turn to continue the Qin family's lineage."

After all, because he couldn't bear it, looking at Qin Qingyue's pitiful appearance, Gao Jinying changed their cells to a cell with half a window, and the brother and sister were locked together.

Qin Ruizhi was soaked all over. She took off her shoes and sat against the wall with her bare feet. Her feet were white and wrinkled from the soak, and she twisted the sour water on her clothes with her hands.

Qin Qingyue's condition was even worse. He was lying there with his legs feeling swollen and weak.

The gauze bandage on the burned leg was yellow and smelled of putrid smell. The wound had already swollen and swollen. The sewage in the water cell had penetrated into the skin and flesh. The pain was so painful that he had long lost consciousness.

Gao Chengying opened his legs and feet and took a look. He was shocked and ordered someone to call a doctor.

If you ask a doctor late at night, he will always come a little late.

Sitting idle, Qin Ruizhi started talking about Zheng Pin.

"Actually, Zheng Pin first went to the Gao family to seek help from his uncle and mother, but unfortunately his uncle was transferred to Kyoto and his mother was not interested in world affairs. I saw how pitiful he was, so I planned to take him in for one night and then let him go to the state. The government office asked for help.

Not long after he entered Gao Mansion, masked assassins broke into Gao Mansion. I was defeated by one person and almost died. It was Aunt Qiu who saved me..."

Qin Ruizhi thought for a while and felt that what she said was not accurate enough, so she added: "Oh, by the way, there is also my mother's light shuttle sword. It is the pair of mother-and-son swords that I carried to Kyoto."
