Quick Wear: Crazy Fox Calm Tree

"Okay, since you want to buy it, why not buy more and fumigate the whole yard. There are a lot of insects now, and they might pop up from somewhere at any time." Qin Yu nodded, his eyes swept across the mugwort in the store, and finally bought half of it with a wave of his hand, and asked them to deliver it to the Mu Mansion and his own home respectively.

"Yes, even though the house is cleaned very well, there are still bugs running out from time to time. It's really annoying." Mu Qing nodded. There are so many bugs recently that it makes him very uncomfortable.

Although he had grown up and was no longer afraid of insects, he still instinctively felt uncomfortable when looking at them, as if there were bugs inside his body.

"It may be because it's been quite humid recently. If there are too many bugs, you can ask the housekeeper to light some fires in the room to dry the house."

"We can try." Mu Qing nodded, and the two of them walked forward with the crowd while chatting.

As they walked, when they came to their senses, they found that they had reached the river and were pushed onto the bridge by the crowd.

"Is this the dragon boat race? I thought I wouldn't be able to see it until two days later, but I didn't expect it to start now." Mu Qing looked at the beautiful dragon boats with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

“It is true that dragon boat racing only starts during the Dragon Boat Festival. Now it is probably just practice, but if you like, you can take a look.

There aren't so many people now, so you can see it more clearly. By the Dragon Boat Festival, both banks should be crowded with people. If you want to see it then, you can only go to a restaurant not far away. "Qin Yu said.

"Have you seen it before?" Mu Qing asked while lying on the edge of the bridge.

"I've seen it once before, but there were so many people there. I came out by myself, so I was pushed to the shore and almost fell into the water." Qin Yu shook his head with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. That was when he was very young.

At that time, there were quite a lot of people in the Qin family, and he was also the young master of a noble family. His favorite thing was to travel around with his servants.

Although the Qin family had booked a restaurant on the shore, he thought the restaurant was too far away and he couldn't see clearly, so he sneaked out with his men. As a result, he was squeezed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe, and he couldn't watch the dragon boat race to his heart's content.

He was so busy trying to squeeze out that by the time he came to his senses, the boats had already left.

"Then let's go watch the dragon boat race in two days. Come with me! The housekeeper has reserved a seat by the river, so we can go there at that time." Mu Qing said with a smile.

"it is good."

……

Looking at the two women in front of him, Qin Yu swept his indifferent eyes over them. Although there was no expression on his face, it made them shiver involuntarily.

"Sir, after the previous interrogation, we have found the whereabouts of the female spy. She was captured on the tenth and fifth days of the first lunar month. Should we interrogate her now or later?" asked a bailiff on the side.

"No rush, you guys interrogate him first, I'll be there in a minute." Qin Yu said without raising his head.

"Yes."

Looking at Xiao Wan and Xiao Jinggu who were tied to the wood, Qin Yu did not say a word, but looked at the torture instruments beside him. His eyes swept over each instrument, and finally his fingers reached out to a thin scalpel.

After playing with the knife in his hand for a few rounds, Qin Yu looked at Xiao Wan and the others.

"Tell me everything you know." Qin Yu said coldly.

“We have said it before. Not long after we came to Da Zhou, we met Mu Jinyu. Not long after that, they got married, and our job became delivering messages.

Apart from the previous personnel list and the previous various tasks, we don't know anything." Xiao Jinggu said while panting. There was no blood on her yellow prison uniform, but she looked very tired, as if she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Xiao Wan's situation was similar to hers, except that her condition was slightly better than hers. However, she was not far from being tortured to the point of collapse.

"What about before that? What did you do in the Western Regions?" Qin Yu asked.

"We have been training various spies in the Western Regions, imparting them various knowledge, and adjusting their body shapes..." Xiao Wan said what they had repeated many times while being in a daze.

Qin Yu seemed not to see it and continued to interrogate them. Although the questions he asked were similar to those they had been asked before, Xiao Wan and the others were still almost unable to bear it.

"No, one of you is the concubine of the prince of the Western Regions, and the other is a princess of the Western Regions. Where do you have the time to train spies?" Qin Yu calmly pointed out the mistakes in their words.

"We have time. The prince seldom comes here. Apart from eating and sleeping, we have a lot of free time." Xiao Jinggu licked her cracked lips and said.

"Although he seldom comes here, it means that you are not favored. If that's the case, why does he still believe that you won't betray him?" Qin Yu said.

"Because... because..." Xiao Jinggu hesitated for a moment.

"Because I have half the blood of the Great Zhou, but I am a princess of the Western Regions and grew up in the Western Regions. So I will not betray the Western Regions. Mother has always been with me, so naturally she will not betray me either." Xiao Wan said quickly.

Qin Yu didn't say anything. Looking at his indifferent look, Xiao Wan and the others didn't know whether he believed it or not. However, whether he believed it or not, it didn't matter at the moment.

They have been captured by the other party now, and it is probably impossible for them to leave here. In this case, they can only survive for the time being and try not to suffer any more.

But how could Qin Yu not see their little thoughts?

After interrogating the other party, they still refused to confess the actual facts. Qin Yu did not waste time talking to them and simply started to take action.

As his eyes swept over, the jailer next to them immediately understood and cleared the things in front of the two men. He checked whether the ropes that tied the two men were firm. When he saw that everything was in order, he immediately stepped aside.

Qin Yu held the scimitar in his hand and walked slowly towards the two men. Under their horrified gazes, the thin scimitar gently scratched Xiao Wan's body.

Then there was a sharp pain, and a thin piece of skin fell to the ground. Looking at the skin on the ground, Xiao Wan wailed in pain, wanting to reach out and touch the painful place, but she couldn't even move.

"Qin Yu, what are you doing? You are resorting to lynching. We have already confessed everything!" Xiao Jinggu immediately became anxious and spoke quickly.

"No, I don't think you have confessed yet." Qin Yu said expressionlessly. Since these two people were arrested, they have been saying nothing but clichés and empty words.

Although they said a lot and seemed to have explained a lot of things, in fact, they said nothing except that list.

Even the other contents explained were half true and half false. It was true that Xiao Jinggu had a love affair with the Prince of the Western Regions, and later she followed the Prince of the Western Regions to the Western Regions.

However, the prince of the Western Regions did not let her down. The young prince's status was neither high nor low. Although he could not marry her, he was very good to her.

Although she was not the one who doted on him exclusively, she doted on him for more than ten years. It was not until the mother and daughter left the Western Regions that the contact between them gradually decreased.

Moreover, Xiao Jinggu did not train spies because she was forced to do so, but because she took the initiative to do so.

If she hadn't taken the initiative to ask, the people from the Western Regions, even if they wanted to infiltrate the Great Zhou, would not have let a peasant girl help them train spies, and would not have entrusted such an important task to her.

The only explanation is that Xiao Jinggu did it on purpose, she deliberately showed off her ability and wanted power. Otherwise, she would not have abandoned the extravagant life in the Western Regions and brought her daughter to the Great Zhou to be a wet nurse.

There was also the list of spies they handed over. Although there were many names on it, based on Qin Yu's intuition and the information he had previously learned, the list was not very complete. At least, the name of a spy they had discovered before was not on it.

If they wanted him to believe their lies, then the mother and daughter would have to endure all the torture instruments here. If they persisted and kept saying the same thing, maybe Qin Yu would actually believe them a little bit at that time.

The thin scalpel became very flexible in Qin Yu's hand, and he quickly cut off thin slices of meat. Bursts of painful howls were heard in the prison.

Qin Yu was merciless. The scissors seemed to have life in his hands. Every time the knife passed, a thin piece of meat would fall off. The meat slices fell on the ground and looked like petals, red and white. If you ignore the wailing in the background, this scene is actually quite artistic.

The other people in the cell witnessed the miserable plight of Xiao Wan and her daughter. The brave ones just took a quick glance and dared not look at it again, as if the miserable scene would burn their eyes; while the timid ones could no longer bear it and ran out, vomiting continuously.

However, Qin Yu's face was as still as dead water, without the slightest fluctuation, as if what he saw was not a tragic situation, but something very ordinary.

Qin Yu picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the knife in his hand, then lowered his head and asked.

"Do you have anything you want to say now?"

"No, we have already confessed everything." Xiao Jinggu said weakly while gasping for breath. Her bound arms kept shaking, and there was blood all over them. Bones were even exposed in some places. Her arms were already disabled.

"You are lynching me. I am the princess of the Western Regions. You can't do this to me." Xiao Wan looked at Qin Yu angrily. She didn't expect Qin Yu to dare to treat them like this. Isn't he afraid of provoking a war between the two countries?

"It seems that I am biased. After all, she is a princess from the Western Regions. Why not just choose this one!" Qin Yu chuckled, his eyes swept across the rows of torture instruments, then put down the scimitar in his hand, picked up a stick, and started to gesture on Xiao Wan's hand.

The long bamboo and iron sticks pierced into Xiao Wan's fingertips like a sharp blade. Xiao Wan opened her eyes in pain and was about to scream. But something was stuffed into her mouth. She couldn't scream or even move.

The pain was so severe that Xiao Wan's whole body was convulsing, as if she had been electrified.

Feeling the trembling fingers under his hand, Qin Yu curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile, but his hand did not slow down at all, and he inserted it straight into the middle of her fingers.

The ten soft and slender fingers had now turned into ten blood pillars. The blood flowed along the bamboo sticks to the ground and soon gathered into a pool of blood.

Xiao Wan had already fainted from the pain. Xiao Jinggu looked at Xiao Wan's miserable condition. She kept whimpering with her blocked mouth. It was unclear whether it was blood or tears on her face, but she looked like she had collapsed from the torture.

Qin Yu threw the remaining bamboo sticks aside out of boredom and turned to walk outside.

"Keep an eye on them and clean them up."

"Yes." The jailer beside him nodded, then asked hesitantly, "Do you want to save him, sir?"

"Keep them alive because I have something else to ask." Qin Yu paused and then said.

"Yes."

Qin Yu walked out of the torture room, looked at the sunlight outside, and stood blankly at the door without moving. No one knew what he was thinking until the Jinyiwei at the side called him, and then he came to his senses.

"Boss, the deputy commander is waiting for you."

"Yeah." Qin Yu nodded and turned to walk towards where the case files were.

Inside the room, Seventeen held a pen in one hand and kept flipping through the case files beside him with the other. He looked very busy. He only looked up after he finished the case file in his hand.

"Sir, you are here." Looking at the unstoppable blood energy on Qin Yu's body, Seventeen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"What do you want from me?" Qin Yu asked as he picked up the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea.

"I have found the case you asked me to look for before. This is the case scroll, and these are the names of the spies and the places where they are hiding. Although we haven't caught them all, we have caught most of them. There are only a few small fish left. Chusan and the others said they will be able to bring them back soon." Seventeen said while holding the things.

"Well, after you finish this, brothers, take a good rest for a few days. Then let's go to Xiangzuilou. I'll treat you." Qin Yu picked up a booklet and started reading.

"That's great, we can have a good meal now." A smile immediately appeared on Seventeen's face. With his innocent smile and natural baby face, he looked like a young master who was ignorant of the ways of the world.

Seeing Qin Yu turning around to leave, Seventeen immediately stopped him. Looking at the Jinyiwei making eyes outside the door, Seventeen's face immediately broke into a bright smile.

"Boss, take a break! It's already noon, time for lunch. Do you want to eat anything? I'll ask the kitchen to make it. It seems like a lot of food has been delivered today."

"I'm not hungry yet." Qin Yu glanced at Seventeen and said lightly.
