Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 194 Concealment, pure conspiracy

"Yes." Zhou Qixing nodded, lowered his eyes, and began to recall the situation that night, "The moon was dark and the wind was high that night, and the river was indeed not very calm. The first half of the night was guarded by the grass-roots, and the second half of the night was another postman. Responsible. During the shift change, countless bamboo rafts suddenly came from a distance at an extremely fast speed, and all of them were men in black. They came prepared and boarded the boat quickly. Although there were soldiers on board, they could not Stop those killers, within half an hour, the entire ship was killed and sank to the bottom of the river."

Zhou Qixing looked sad, his body trembled slightly, and beads of sweat oozed from his head from recalling those bloody scenes.

Yao Jing glanced at the few observers, and saw that they were calmer than the other, and suddenly lamented that his concentration was too poor.Gathering his mind, he said again: "Zhou Qixing, based on what you said alone, it may be hard to convince people to turn the accident two years ago into man-made. I don't know if you have anyone to prove it?"

Zhou Qixing thought for a while, then bowed his head and replied, "Maybe all the people on the boat were killed that night, but we were in danger that night in the Cangning River area, where there are often fishermen fishing at night, and someone should have seen it."

Yao Jing glanced at Chu Qingzhou, saw that he did not make a statement, and hurriedly ordered: "Send someone to Cangning River to inquire, and anyone who knows the truth will be rewarded!"

Some yamen servants retreated in response.

Chu Qingzhou looked at Zhou Qixing, and suddenly asked: "You said that almost no one in the ship was spared, so how did you escape?"

"I fell into the water after being injured. They had arranged killers in the water. I escaped by hiding under their bamboo raft," Zhou Qixing said.

"Wouldn't it be a coincidence that all the people were killed but you were missed?" Yao Jing looked at him questioningly.

Zhou Qixing didn't speak, just knelt quietly.

Yao Jing asked again: "You said you were hiding under the murderer's bamboo raft, so how do you breathe?"

"I covered the flute hole with my hand under the bamboo raft and breathed with the piccolo. Because it was night, no one noticed." Zhou Qixing took out a flute on his body. The piccolo is exquisite and can indeed breathe in water. Effect.

Logical and well organized.

Yao Jing didn't know how to proceed with the trial for a while, so he looked at Chu Qingzhou and Yehuan, asking for their opinions.

Ye Huan looked at Zhou Qixing, and said calmly, "You always carry this piccolo with you?"

"Yes, it was given to Cao Min by his fiancée." Zhou Qixing explained with tenderness in his eyes.

"Then you can play?" Ye Huan continued to ask.

"meeting."

"Then you play a song, let us listen to it." Ye Huan said.

Zhou Qixing nodded, put the piccolo to his lips, and played it lightly.

The sound of the flute should be melodious and pleasant, but the melody at this time is full of sadness and sadness, even full of memories and longing.

Su Yu looked at this man with scars all over his face and a sad expression, and couldn't help being a little moved.Did the sound of the flute, which was out of tune due to soaking in water for a long time, remind him of his fiancée?
After the song was over, Su Yu asked, "Does your fiancée know that you are still alive?"

Zhou Qixing shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"You are from Yuzhou, so she must be here too, let her testify for you." Su Yan said lightly.

"No, I don't want her to be involved!" Zhou Qixing immediately refused.

"Bold, how can you disobey the order of the concubine? Could it be that these are all your nonsense?" Yao Jing slapped the gavel and shouted in a deep voice.

"The grassroots dare not." Zhou Qixing shook his head, but his expression was firm.

Yao Jingben wanted to reprimand him again, but Su Yan gave him a flat look, and said, "Zhou Qixing, because of your evasion, everything you said can be regarded as a lie by my concubine, and the purpose is only to bite or be instigated by others." When the words fell, she saw Zhou Qixing anxious to defend, and changed the subject, "Bring your fiancée, I just want her to prove your identity, after all, your appearance has been ruined."

Zhou Qixing's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Everything Cao Min said is true. As for her, she is married now, and Cao Min doesn't want to disturb her."

Su Yan was startled, understood his concerns, and said to Ye Huan and Chu Qingzhou: "I'll go see her alone, so as to ensure her safety."

"Princess doesn't have to be like this. Since he is the postmaster of Yuzhou post station, it is not difficult to find out his fiancée." Yao Jing said firmly.

Upon hearing Yao Jing's words, Zhou Qixing quickly looked at Su Yan, kowtowed respectfully, and quickly said: "Caomin listens to the arrangement of the princess."

Su Yan nodded, looked at Chu Qingzhou and Yehuan, and asked for their thoughts.

Ye Huan nodded in agreement, his eyes trusting, and there was no estrangement between him and her because of what happened last night.

Chu Qingzhou also glanced at Su Yan, and said lightly: "Since the princess said so, then arrange it according to the princess's wishes."

Su Yan smiled at them, looked at Zhou Qixing who was kneeling, and asked, "Then you can say who she is now."

"Caomin can only talk to Wangfei alone." Zhou Qixing glanced at Su Yan and said.

"Presumptuous! How can the concubine be alone with you? Don't toast or eat fine wine, do you really think that the official can't find out unless you say it?" Yao Jing sneered, "Come on!"

Su Yu was about to stop Yao Jing, but Chu Qingzhou said: "My lord, be safe and don't be impatient." After saying that, he looked at Zhou Qixing, "It's really inappropriate for the princess to be alone with you. If you trust me, I will Is it okay to go with the princess?"

Su Yan looked at Chu Qingzhou, secretly feeling that he was thoughtful.Ye Jing and Chu Qingzhou are the leaders of this thorough investigation into the Gongjin case in Yuzhou.It is the most fair and just for her to represent Ye Jing and go with Chu Qingzhou.

Zhou Qixing looked at Chu Qingzhou and asked, "Are you Prime Minister Zuo?"

Chu Qingzhou nodded and smiled calmly: "It's my official."

Zhou Qixing lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Su Yan again, nodded and said, "Okay."

Chu Qingzhou nodded, looked at Ye Huan, saw him nodding, got up and said, "Let's go." Chu Qingzhou walked up to Su Yan, and made a gesture of invitation, "Princess, please."

Su Yan nodded, glanced at Ye Jing, saw him nodding, and walked towards the inner hall unceremoniously.Even for the sake of reputation, she has to take care of many aspects and handle this matter well.

Chu Qingzhou followed closely behind Su Yan. Since he took the initiative to mention going with him, he naturally wanted to stay close.Since Zhou Qixing was able to escape from those killers and went to the capital to file a complaint, he naturally has some means and skills.

Zhou Qixing was also brought in. Just as Yao Jing was about to follow, Ye Huan said leisurely, "Master Yao, the princess and Lord Chu are inside, don't you even believe the princess and Prime Minister Chu?"

Yao Jing was startled, restrained his pace, bowed his head and said: "I dare not."

Ye Huan gave him a cool look, then turned to Ye Jing and said, "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law will come out soon, don't worry."

Ye Jing nodded, but said nothing.

Not long after, Su Yan and Chu Qingzhou came out together, followed by Zhou Qixing behind them.
