Chapter 372 The Truth

Zeng Pan clutched his sleeve that was shot by the six arrows, panted with wide eyes, and said, "Sure enough, he is a cunning and cunning man, and he even set up a hidden weapon inside. The subordinates suspect that he should have dug a secret passage inside. If we can't get in, we will If we can’t detect it, I’m afraid that a strong attack won’t work.”

The imperial palace occupies a huge area. If a secret passage was really dug underneath, unless the person who participated in the design and excavation was found, where would Qiu Zhuo escape to find someone?

Ning Chengyun's face was a little gloomy, and he went straight up the steps, drew his bow and released an arrow, but his arrow was knocked out before it even got close to Qiu Zhuo, obviously there were still masters lurking in the hall.

Ning Chengyun glanced sharply at him, pursed his lips and backed away, walked ninety-nine out of a hundred steps, but got stuck at the last step, who knows this kind of feeling.

After Zeng Pan saw Tangning and his wife's abilities, he suggested to Ning Chengyun, "My lord, I think the best way now is to order people to guard the palace and the entire Xijing, and then summon Mr. Qiu and Commander Tang over. There must be a way."

Ning Chengyun had bulging veins on his forehead, and he glanced coolly at Zeng Pan, "Are you here to be funny? Do you know what it means to be unable to quench your thirst when you are far away? One of them is far away in Ganzhou, and the other is far away in Jiangnan, waiting for them Here it comes, the day lily is cold."

At this moment, a soldier rushed to report: "Young Master, Mr. Qiu has arrived."

Ning Chengyun's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked Qiu Jingming to come over without asking any further questions.

After Qiu Jingming saluted, he first presented a good report, "Young master, General Zhao has led people back to Suzhou and drove the Liao bandits out of the pass. The Liao soldiers have been seriously injured, and they dare not commit another crime in a short time."

"Okay!" Ning Chengyun was overjoyed, helped Qiu Jingming up, patted him on the shoulder in relief, and said, "Thanks to you, when Qiu Zhuo is captured, I will reward you for your deeds!"

Zeng Pan said in a hurry: "Young master, Mr. Qiu is here, we should hurry."

As he spoke, Zeng Pan pointed to the main hall, and told Qiu Jingming what had happened, frowning and fidgeting around in circles, "Sly Rabbit Three Caves, I think he can't wait to dig out this palace full of holes!"

Qiu Jingming pondered for a moment, walked forward slowly with a smile, and said, "My lord, lend me some guards with strong martial arts skills to protect me, I will try."

Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qiu Jingming's gourd, and they looked at him curiously, but saw him walking up the steps unhurriedly, looking at Qiu Zhuo with gloomy eyes through the palace door.

One eye is full of desire for power and calculation, but the other is as calm as water, like a clear spring in the mountains, without any impurities.

It was an unfamiliar face, and Qiu Zhuo was sure that he had never seen the person in front of him before.

The two just looked at each other from a distance, and stood there for a long time. After about two hours, Qiu Zhuocai squinted his eyes and said slowly, with a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

Qiu Jingming curled his lips and said with a light smile, "An insignificant person."

"What? Do you think you can consume me to death like this? You all underestimate me too!" Qiu Zhuo evoked a wicked smile.

Qiu Jingming shook his head and sighed, "I originally wanted to talk to you about Miss Qiu and Qiu Zonglie, but it seems that you are not interested, so forget it."

As he said that, Qiu Jingming turned his head regretfully, and walked down the steps slowly.

Mrs. Qiu, who had always been like a wooden figure, stood up excitedly at this moment, "Stop, speak clearly!"

Qiu Zhuo shouted, "Ma'am, the other party is obviously trying to trick us, don't be fooled!"

Mrs. Qiu waited to look at Qiu Zhuo, and then at Qiu Jingming who was sitting on the steps outside the hall, who was almost out of sight. She struggled in her heart, and after a long time, she gritted her teeth and pushed Qiu Zhuo's hand away, saying, "Master, take care of me!" Stay here, I want to go out and ask, even if I die, I will die clearly, this is what I owe my two children!"

"Ma'am!" Qiu Zhuo roared.

Mrs. Qiu rushed out regardless.

Qiu Jingming wasn't surprised at all, but said: "It's not enough for you to exchange such a big secret!"

Mrs. Qiu tightened her hand holding the door frame, and her expression became a little ruthless, "Are you lying to me?"

Qiu Jingming's expression remained unchanged, with a gentle smile on his face, he shook his head, "If I lie to you, you will be struck by thunder and death! But if you want to know the secret, let Qiu Zhuo come out to exchange together."

Mrs. Qiu looked dazed, staring at Qiu Jingming, seeing his sincerity, and swearing poisonous oath in front of so many people, nine out of ten he really knew how her two children died.

After several struggles in her heart, she turned her head to look at Qiu Zhuo, her eyes were full of madness, "Master, this concubine has never begged you for anything in this life, and even endured humiliation for the Qiu family, now I have a chance to prove my innocence, sir Can you fulfill my concubine's status and rectify her name!"

Ever since her two sons and daughters died for no reason, rumors began to spread inside and outside the mansion that she was an unknown person, and her two sons and daughters had committed too many crimes, so they were targeted by ghosts and gods and lost their lives.

As soon as her son died, she also changed from the high-ranking mistress of the Qiu family to a disgruntled housewife. Qiu Zhuo treated her very coldly, but it was only to create the illusion that she valued love and righteousness so that she had been sitting as the official wife. No one cared what she was thinking, let alone how her reputation had been ruined.

Others may not care, but she herself has to care, and her poor children, who are gone but still be slandered, why!
The more Mrs. Qiu thought about it, the more unwilling she became, she gritted her teeth and stared at Qiu Zhuo resentfully.

Qiu Zhuo's face was also livid, and he patted the dragon chair angrily, "Why are you crazy! You also believe what those unknown people say! It's just that you just swear a false oath casually, and you believe it to be true. You're so stupid!"

Mrs. Qiu pursed her lips, as if she knew that Qiu Zhuo could not help her, so she turned her head to look at Qiu Jingming, with a flash of determination in her eyes, she walked slowly to Qiu Jingming's side, and said, "If he doesn't cooperate, there is nothing I can do, but I I can exchange it with you."

"Oh? What are you giving me in exchange?" Qiu Jingming raised his eyebrows and asked after getting up leisurely.

Mrs. Qiu took out a map from her bosom, and said, "This is the layout map of the palace's underground secret passages. It took me a lot of effort to get it."

Qiu Jingming wanted to get it, but Mrs. Qiu avoided it, "How did my son and daughter die?"

Qiu Jingming frowned, and asked solemnly, "How do I know if your picture is real or not?"

Mrs. Qiu simply divided the picture into two and gave Qiu Jingming a part, "Is this all right?"

Qiu Jingming got half of the map and immediately handed it over to Ning Chengyun.

Zeng Pan consciously led others to verify.

He came back soon and said, "It really is."

Seeing Mrs. Qiu's complex eyes, Qiu Jingming frowned and said slowly: "Let's talk about Ms. Qiu's matter first, in fact, there is no superstition, it's just a preemptive act.

When Ms. Qiu was in Tongshui Town, she had her eye on a girl because of silk soap. That girl didn't want to cause trouble, but Ms. Qiu used her power to bully others and let go of her harsh words.

The girl was worried, and followed her to the window of the Yunlai Inn, just in time to hear her good maid Pipa's insidious plan. "
