The dim back

Chapter 25 Ghost Market Trading

Liu Zhongqing wanted to solve the problem in another way.

Liu Zhongqing said to the Third Prince: "So far, the only thing I want to do most is to clear myself of the injustice as soon as possible."

The Third Prince asked a strange question; "If Zhang Yulu can help you clear your name, the only price is for you to separate from Qiu Feng, are you willing?"

Hearing what the Third Prince said, Liu Zhongqing began to think: "There is no need to drag the resentment of your previous generation to our generation. Zhang Yulu and I are already engaged, and Qiufeng is my childhood sweetheart. I feel that this is a difficult issue to judge."

The Third Prince sighed helplessly: "Maybe I am doing this for Liu Yue'e's sake. I don't want his daughter to suffer any injustice. You can investigate it yourself first. I will take good care of Zhang Yulu."

Liu Zhongqing could tell from the Third Prince's attitude that he could not rescue Zhang Yulu today no matter what, so he had to return in disappointment.

It was such a coincidence that Liu Zhongqing just walked out of the door and felt someone following him.

Liu Zhongqing turned around and saw that the person was Xiaodie who had just taken Zhang Yulu away.

Liu Zhongqing ran over quickly and said, "Just tell me what you want, as long as you can help me find Zhang Yulu."

Xiaodie also felt particularly embarrassed: "Why are you and Miss Zhang both so persistent?"

When Liu Zhongqing heard Xiaodie say this, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "What did Zhang Yulu tell you?"

Xiaodie took out a note from her pocket and handed it to Liu Zhongqing: "Open it and take a look."

Liu Zhongqing opened it very quickly, wrote a few words on the note, and hurried to the ghost market at night to investigate the source of the poison as soon as possible.

Liu Zhongqing didn't expect that Zhang Yulu would still be thinking about him while in prison.

Liu Zhongqing felt particularly guilty towards Zhang Yulu. If he had not been so stubborn and repeatedly investigated Qiu Feng's family affairs, he would not have involved Zhang Yulu.

Maybe what the Third Prince said was right, Zhang Yulu might be safer in his hands.

Xiaodie began to convey Zhang Yulu's thoughts: "My Lord, Miss Zhang asked me to tell you that you might see Zhang Laojiu in the ghost market today, so you have to be careful."

Liu Zhongqing finally felt relieved: "Since you can pass on the message, I think he is safe, so I will do my job without any worries."

Liu Zhongqing had just walked out of here and walked two blocks when he saw someone coming.

Liu Zhongqing was very surprised and said to the people who blocked his way: "Who are you? Do you know who I am?"

The leader said firmly, "My Lord, we are the personal guards appointed by the Emperor and we will obey your orders."

Liu Zhongqing had a bad feeling: "Why did the emperor know my whereabouts so quickly?"

Seeing that the guards were silent, Liu Zhongqing came up with an idea: "Help me rescue someone today. This is my fiancée, Zhang Yulu, the eldest daughter of Yiren Villa."

Several guards quickly obeyed the order, and soon Zhang Yulu was brought out.

When Zhang Yulu saw Liu Zhongqing, she asked with concern: "Things are getting more and more complicated now. The two of us must take a long-term view."

Liu Zhongqing nodded: "Even if you don't say it, I know it in my heart. Things are so difficult. Let's put the Qiu family's affairs aside for now. The main thing is to find out who is trying to frame me."

Zhang Yulu knew it well, and asked the guards beside him: "Did Concubine Xiao tell you that if anything goes against him, you should kill both of us immediately."

The guards looked at each other, and suddenly the leader pulled out the dagger at his waist and stabbed at Liu Zhongqing.

Liu Zongqing used a spinning kick and quickly dodged the attack. After subduing the leader, the others also ran away.

Liu Zhongqing laughed and asked the leader, "You should be lenient if you confess and be strict if you resist. Tell us everything you know."

Zhang Yulu was recalling the plot of her previous novel. As soon as this person appeared on the stage, he went to get his lunch box.

Just as Zhang Yulu thought, the wretched man bit off his tongue and died on the spot.

Zhang Yulu saw the scene in front of him and had an idea: "It seems that we can only go to one place, that is the ghost market. If we find the scarred man, we can know the trade of poison in Miaojiang."

Liu Zhongqing nodded, then he remembered something: "I forgot to ask you just now, you haven't been wronged, right?"

Zhang Yulu shut her mouth because she had just found out that she and Zhang Fengxue were not born from the same mother. After all, this had never appeared in her book.

Seeing that Zhang Yulu kept silent, Liu Zhongqing comforted her: "I know you don't want others to interfere in your family affairs. From tomorrow on, the shop in the south of the city will be handed over to you to take care of, and I will assist you."

Liu Zhongqing knew that Zhang Yulu was relatively independent. Perhaps when she was busy, Zhang Yulu would forget what Zhang Shaohua had done to Liu Yue'e, which would make Zhang Yulu feel better.

Zhang Yulu, now, whenever she thought about how her father had used dirty tricks to get Liu Yue'e and then gave birth to her, she would curse in her heart: "How could I have such a father? It's simply hell on earth."

Liu Zhongqing certainly understands. If you have any problems in the future, just come and talk to me. Even if I can't tell you, I have a way to help you solve it.

Zhang Yulu remembered something: "This time we must take down Concubine Xiao and Zhang Laojiu in one fell swoop. These two people are bad guys."

Liu Zhongqing certainly understood: "I think if the evidence is in front of him, the emperor, no matter how much he loves Concubine Xiao, will definitely punish him. After all, there are many beauties around the emperor, and he will forget about this little concubine in a few days."

The two men made up their minds and quickly arrived at the ghost market. In the middle, there was a man with a long scar on his face.

Zhang Yulu ran over first and asked the man with the scar on his face, "Are you the scar man?"

The scarred man raised his face and said to Zhang Yulu, "Are you talking to me? What do you want to do?"

Zhang Yulu threw out a bag of silver. This was the market price in the ghost market. If you wanted to ask something, you had to pay the silver first.

The scarred man picked up the silver, weighed it, and quickly rejected it: "Girl, please go back. I can't do what you asked. Don't waste everyone's time."

Hearing what the scarred man said, Liu Zhongqing became a little anxious: "Don't you want to earn money?"

The scarred man looked at the bag of silver and said, "It is precisely because there is so much silver that this should be a very difficult problem. I don't have extra time to help you. This is a life-threatening task."

Zhang Yulu had no choice but to say to the scarred man: "How can you help me get this done?"

The scarred man looked Zhang Yulu around and said, "Since you have already thought about it, I will try my best to help you. But listen to me, I want to tell you one thing. If you promise to do something for me in the future, I won't charge you any money for it."

Zhang Yulu felt very strange: "How can the people in the ghost market be so easy to talk to? You are all rich people who are closer to you than your parents."

The scarred man shook his head: "I didn't want to argue with you, but I can tell you now. All I want to do every day is to cut the people who hurt my family into pieces."

Zhang Yulu's heart was beating fast, and the system reminded her again: "Host, the person the scarred man asked you to deal with is Lin Xuefeng."

Zhang Yulu was particularly surprised and asked the scarred man in confusion: "Do you have any grudge against Lin Xuefeng?"

The scarred man looked at Zhang Yulu in surprise: "How did you guess that?"

Zhang Yulu couldn't say that the system told her, so she said to the scarred man, "Before coming to you, I will of course investigate everything clearly. Tell me now, how can I help you?"

The scarred man laughed and said, "It's nothing too difficult for you. You just need to find a way to get Lin Xuefeng to come out for me. You don't have to do anything else."

In order to buy time, Zhang Yulu had no choice but to nod and agree: "Then let's make a deal. Can you tell me now? Who are the people who bought your Miao people? Within the past month."

The scarred man took out the order form, slapped it on the table and said, "Did you see it? This is what the two people above bought. The first one is Zhang Laojiu, a well-known rogue in Beijing, and the second one is Zhang Shaohua from Yiren Villa."

Zhang Yulu and Liu Zhongqing were surprised when they heard the names of these two people: "Are you sure? How could Yiren Villa be included in it?"

The scarred man smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, there are no good or bad people in the world. They are all spread by everyone. Some people do dirty things and want to establish a righteous name for themselves. It's annoying to see them."

Zhang Yulu felt particularly depressed when she heard this: "Could it be that my father brought Concubine Xiao's poison into the palace? My father has no contact with Concubine Xiao."

The scarred man said a fact: "Of course Concubine Xiao did this for her father. Liu Zhongqing kept obstructing his progress. In fact, Concubine Xiao and his father had been planning something bad for a long time."

Only then did Zhang Yulu realize that this was indeed how he had planned it. Concubine Xiao and his father started a conspiracy to usurp the throne, and were later beheaded by Liu Zhongqing.

Zhang Yulu looked at Liu Zhongqing in front of him and said, "I hope you can report this matter seriously to the emperor. I believe you will handle this matter well."

Liu Zhongqing nodded: "But I want evidence."

The scarred man took out a painting from the side and said, "In fact, there is no guarantee in these four paintings. In fact, these four paintings are about plotting to usurp the throne. If you want to plot to usurp the throne, you must have a lot of money to recruit soldiers. This is their secret position for training soldiers. I happen to only have this picture here. The other three pictures should contain other secrets."
