The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 185 Life Experience Exposure
Qingchi looked at the courtroom with a worried face, completely oblivious to Lu Ji's increasingly gloomy expression.

"Don't be nervous, I mentioned you here today, but I have something to ask you."

Facing such a handsome child, it was rare for Fu Cheng to slow down his tone.

Aqi still looked shocked, and nodded timidly.

"The flower lady in the Green Bamboo Pavilion is you, the young lady she bought, but Miss Yan said that you are her younger brother. Who are you?"

Aqi blinked, and his thick eyelashes fanned lightly, "Caomin was originally the son of Qi Tianyao, the magistrate of Qinzhou. Later, because his father was convicted and demoted to slavery, he was bought back by Huaniang. Master Han, it was Sister Qing who saved Caomin."

Han Xiao's incident caused a lot of trouble in the city, and everyone knew about it.

"How old were you?"

"Six years old."

"Does Miss Yan know your identity?"

Aqi shook his head, with tears in his eyes, "Hua Niang asked Caomin to pick up the guests, but Caomin refused, so she ran away. Caomin was afraid that her captors would go back, so she kept pretending to be a beggar. Later, she was almost beaten to death. It was Sister Qing who saved me. I have never dared to tell her my life experience, for fear that she would dislike me."

Fu Cheng unconsciously showed a trace of sympathy, no matter what his appearance, he had such a pitiful background.

Fu Cheng said gently, "Okay, I know, you can go down first."

Before being dragged up by the yamen servants, Aqi said to the Fu Cheng: "My lord, I killed the man, and I set the fire. Let Sister Qing go!"

The crisp voice was full of pleading, and the yamen servants present couldn't bear to hear it.

How could such a weak child be the real murderer and arsonist?He really didn't understand why his lord suddenly called these two people over the night before he was promoted to the hall, and asked him to ask these questions.

Thinking of his lord's indifferent expression, Fu Cheng secretly shook his head.

After Aqi was taken down, the people in the lobby outside also left cleanly.Lu Ji still held Qingchi's hand, but she said coldly: "Master Lu, can you let me go?"

It was only then that Lu Ji realized that he had squeezed her hand so hard that it was blue.

"Sorry." He said slightly apologetically.

Qingchi seemed to have never seen the bruise on his opponent, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Lu Ji continued: "Ten years ago, Taifu Yan was appointed by the late emperor as the director of prisons in the Qinzhou Prefecture, and was dispatched to Qinzhou."

Qingchi looked up at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.At that time, Yan Zhenglang's whole family went to the post, and she also lived in Qinzhou for a year. At that time, her younger brother was still there, and the family of four enjoyed themselves happily.

"What do you want to say?"

"He is the son of Zhizhou of Qinzhou!" He was referring to Aqi.

Lu Ji approached her, "Since you know his identity, you should know that it is not easy for him to approach you!"

The reason Qi Tianyao, the magistrate of Qinzhou, was dismissed and his family imprisoned was precisely because Yan Zhenglang intervened in an unjust case at that time, which involved corruption cases in the three southern states.As the first offender, Qi Tianyao was sentenced to be the head of an owl. All members of Qi's family who were over ten years old were beheaded, and those under ten were not enslaved.

Thinking of the past, Qingchi turned pale, bit his lips and said: "You think too much, he didn't know my identity at all, not to mention that he was only six years old at the time, and he was tortured by Hua Niang for so many years, now he is just a poor man That’s all. If it’s possible, after this case is over, please ask His Majesty for mercy and forgive him.”

"Six years old!" Lu Ji sneered, "He was six years old at the time, and he was already a well-known child prodigy in the south of the Yangtze River. He was able to write poems at the age of three, and he was able to write poems at the age of seven. Now he has such a pure and harmless face, who is different? Love him! He has endured humiliation for many years, and it is no coincidence that he approached you this time."

"That's different..." Qingchi panicked in his heart.

During the days when she lived in Qinzhou, she had heard a lot about the name of Master Zhizhou.

Aqi... No, he should be called Qi Yu now.At that time, he was famous for his talent at a young age. If nothing happened later, he should at least be a Juren now.

Sold as an official slave, he will never be able to stand up again.He is obviously a man, but he is reduced to a child molester for others to play with. It is really better to die with his family.

Lu Ji took Qingchi's shoulders and looked at her with eyes like water, "What happened at that time? Can you tell me? Don't keep taking the blame on yourself."

Qingchi met his clear eyes, his heart beat out of rhythm, and he said in a strange way: "Okay."

That day Qingchi received a message from Ning Yuezhao, so he was full of joy.Because he was worried that Ah Qi would be alone at home, he wanted to bring him to the banquet.

As early as that day when Ning Yuezhao restored Huiyuan's reputation for her, she went to the famous Cuiyuzhai in the imperial capital to order a pair of jade pieces as a token of gratitude for Ning Yuezhao's friendship.

On the way to Zui Jinzhao, Qingchi stopped by to pick it up.Unexpectedly, when Cuiyuzhai was waiting for the boss to pick up the goods, people from the Green Bamboo Pavilion chased him in, and they couldn't help but arrest Aqi.

At first, Qingchi heard these people say that Ah Qi is a young man in their building, and thought that these people wanted to snatch the civilian men because they took a fancy to Ah Qi's beauty.She immediately revealed her identity, but where is the Green Bamboo Pavilion?That's where the imperial capital's dignitaries gather, not to mention Hua Niang has a contract of sale in her hands, so she is not afraid of Qingchi at all.

At that time, Qingchi only had a servant girl and a servant by his side, and he was no match for the dozen or so thugs in the Green Bamboo Pavilion, so he could only watch helplessly as Ah Qi was taken away.

In desperation, Qingchi didn't even care about the current appointment with Zui Zuo, he called up the nursing home at home, and rushed to the Green Bamboo Pavilion, trying to rescue Aqi.

Unexpectedly, in order to avoid long nights and dreamy nights, Huaniang pushed Ah Qi to all the guests as soon as she got her back. Whoever paid the highest price could get Ah Qi's first night.

The Yan Mansion is in the east of the city, and the Green Bamboo Pavilion is in the west of the city. When Qingchi arrived, Aqi had already been bid by Du Xi, a rich businessman from Jinzhou, and he was sent to a room on the third floor.

"I've never been to that kind of place. I heard the muffled noises in my ears. Thinking of Aqi's innocent and frightened eyes when he was taken away, I felt my whole body trembling. At that moment, I really wanted to destroy Green Bamboo Pavilion!"

When he said this, Qingchi's tone was cold, and his eyes were full of anger.

"What happened later?" Lu Ji tightened his hand on her shoulder, full of regret.

Qingchi didn't relax at all, the hatred in his eyes was even worse, he gritted his teeth and said: "Later I found the room of Mr. Du, at that time Aqi was bound by his hands and knelt on the head of the bed, and was placed in an extremely humiliating manner. The posture... If I am one step late, Aqi will be succeeded by that disgusting Master Du...

Seeing me barging in, that old master Du didn't feel ashamed, instead he showed an excited expression, saying that he wanted me to see how he bullied Ah Qi..."

Lu Ji involuntarily took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, as if this would prevent her from seeing the horrible scene.

When the warm palm gently covered the eyes, the soft touch was like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze.

Qingchi took away Lu Ji's hand in a panic, his cheeks became hot, "Are you crazy..."

"I……"

Lu Ji moved his lips, and was about to say something, but Qingchi interrupted him, "I grabbed the vase in the room and threw it at the head of Mr. Du who was on Xing's head. The vase was smashed, and that Master Du fell down with his head covered in blood, and the blood flowed all over the floor.
I was also stunned at that time, I never thought that I would kill someone one day... In a panic, I saw the candle on the table, and I thought I would burn everything up, and it would be gone. "

The night wind came through the hall, and the two standing in the back hall shivered.

Qingchi hugged his arms tightly in fear of the cold, "You should all know what happened after that."

Lu Ji frowned, "After the examination of Du Xi's body, the back of the skull was shattered. Although it was burnt, tiny pieces of porcelain were found between the cracks in the skull. Fu Liao also concluded that he suffered from something like a vase during his lifetime. Strike. But it was not the cause of Ducey's death."

Qingchi was shocked, "How is this possible!"
