Quick Wear: Crazy Fox Calm Tree

"You're not hungry, but your brothers need to eat!" Seventeen said with a wry smile, "The noise in the torture chamber is too loud, not to mention my brothers, even I have lost my appetite.

Can you please stop the trial and wait until the brothers have something to eat before you start the trial?"

Qin Yu frowned and was about to say something, but seeing the bitter smile on Seventeen's face and the pale faces of the brothers outside the door, he finally said nothing and nodded slightly.

"Okay, then I'll ask the kitchen to cook now!" Seventeen immediately regained his spirit and gave a wink to the Jinyiwei outside the door, and they immediately ran to the kitchen happily.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Seventeen's expression became much more relaxed, and he asked with a hint of confusion on his face.

"Boss, what's wrong with them?"

Although Qin Yu was born in the Jinyiwei, he seldom did things himself, let alone do it so fiercely.

After all these years together, he had only seen it twice. The first time was when his parents died. At that time, he had just joined the Royal Guards and was as ferocious as a little wolf cub.

The second time was when they caught the bandits who killed his parents. That time, the torture chamber was filled with wailing for three days. When he was released, the brothers of the Imperial Guard went inside to check, and found that they all vomited without exception.

There was flesh and blood all over the ground, broken into pieces like dumpling fillings. The blood of those bandits had spilled onto the beams of the house. Even after searching the entire cell, they were unable to piece together a complete body.

Later that year, the prison guards who cleaned the cells would occasionally find broken bones or bloodstains in various corners.

It was also because of that incident that Qin Yu gained a reputation as a vicious and cruel person, and was rumored to be someone who could stop crying at night.

Although these two words are somewhat related to him, they are not that scary.

"They should be related to the death of my parents." Qin Yu hesitated for a while before speaking.

Seventeen was stunned.

"Wasn't the death of Lord Qin and his wife caused by bandits? Even if it wasn't them, it shouldn't have anything to do with the Western Regions, right?"

"Not sure, but I doubt it." Qin Yu said.

"We should indeed investigate it thoroughly, but you're being too harsh. After all, they are princesses and princesses from the Western Regions. It's inevitable that the Western Regions won't want them when the time comes, so it's better not to be too obvious." Seventeen advised.

"Yeah." Qin Yu glanced at Seventeen and nodded.

……

"Where is your Lord Qin?" Mu Qing walked around the Commander's Mansion and didn't see Qin Yu, so he grabbed a Jinyiwei and asked.

"The master is interrogating the prisoner in the torture chamber. Why don't you wait for a while, Mr. Mu?"

"Okay, where is the torture chamber? I'll wait for him nearby." Mu Qing nodded.

The other party pointed in the direction and continued to investigate the case.

Mu Qing followed the direction the other party pointed and soon arrived at a shady place. There were two Jinyiwei standing at the door. However, they were not as kind as the Jinyiwei he had seen before. Instead, they looked a little fierce.

"The torture chamber is a restricted area, no outsiders are allowed to approach!" the two Jinyiwei said sternly, stretching out their hands to block the way in front of the door.

"Hello, both of you. Is Lord Qin Yuqin here?" Mu Qing walked not far from the two of them and asked gently.

The two looked at each other and looked Mu Qing up and down.

"I'm Mu Qing, and I'm an old friend of Lord Qin." Mu Qing took the initiative to explain.

Hearing the name, the two recognized Mu Qing instantly. The name Mu Qing was well-known among them. They had heard many other brothers say that he was indeed a good friend of the adults.

"He's not here. The master just finished the interrogation and has left." After knowing that he was an acquaintance, the two men's attitude softened a little, but they still guarded the cell door and didn't let Mu Qing in.

"Is that so? Then, brothers, do you know where Lord Qin went?" Mu Qing nodded, feeling somewhat puzzled. He had just searched almost everywhere here. It was because he did not find anyone that he asked others. But if there was no one in the torture chamber, then where did Zijin go?

"I don't know, but he went that way." One of the Jinyiwei shook his head and pointed in a direction.

"Okay, thank you two brothers." Mu Qing nodded and shone in the direction the other party pointed.

Originally, the surroundings were quite lively, but when we followed the path pointed out by the Jinyiwei, we found ourselves getting further and further away. Gradually, we could not see anyone and could only see the blue-gray walls on both sides.

Fortunately, there were no forks in the road here. Mu Qing walked along the straight road, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation and looking for Qin Yu.

It was unknown how long he had been walking. Gradually, there was no sound around him. Until Mu Qing's feet were a little tired, he saw Qin Yu sitting on the wall.

"Zi Jin." Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other person's figure, and took a few quick steps to shout.

"Why are you here?" Qin Yu was stunned when he saw Mu Qing's figure. This was the northernmost part of the mansion, and Mu Qing didn't know any martial arts, so why did he come here?

"I came to find you!" Mu Qing said with a smile, and as he spoke he wanted to climb up the city wall. Unfortunately, the wall was too high and he didn't know any martial arts, so he could only jump around on the edge of the wall.

Seeing Qin Yu sitting there without saying anything, Mu Qing stretched out his hand and said in a somewhat coquettish tone.

"Zijin, give me a hand!"

Qin Yu didn't say anything, but just pulled him up, sat on the wall, and looked at the surrounding scenery. Mu Qing exclaimed excitedly.

"It's so high here! I didn't expect that the capital city would look like this from here. Hey, do you guys often stay on the wall? It seems quite interesting, how about teaching me martial arts?" Mu Qing kept talking until he stopped, and Qin Yu spoke.

"It's a little late for you to learn martial arts now, and your muscles and bones are not in good condition." Qin Yu pinched Mu Qing's wrist and shook his head.

Seeing Qin Yu picking up the wine beside him and about to drink it, Mu Qing also took the bottle and took a sip. The spicy liquor immediately choked him and made him cough.

"Cough cough, this wine is too spicy! It's so strong!" Mu Qing's face turned red and he kept coughing.

Qin Yu patted him gently on the back.

"You should be familiar with this wine. It was given to you by Uncle Mu." There was a hint of smile in Qin Yu's voice.

"My uncle?" Mu Qing was a little stunned. "Did my uncle bring me some wine? I don't know! But the wine there is really strong, and my uncle has a lot of wine, some of which is even better than the one in Beijing."

"Well, a brother happened to be injured when he went there before, so he took some wine to disinfect. Uncle Mu took this wine, but he didn't finish it, so he brought it back." It happened that he was in a bad mood today, so he took the wine and drank it. He didn't expect that the wine was quite strong.

Mu Qing nodded in understanding.

"That should be a regular Shao Dao Zi or something like that. My uncle also let me drink it when I was a kid, but it was too spicy and I never got used to it."

Qin Yu picked up the bottle and took another sip. Seeing that Qin Yu was still drinking, Mu Qing moved closer to him.

"Did anything happen to my second aunt and the others?" Mu Qing asked. Perhaps the most important prisoners in the torture room now were the mother and daughter.

"I tortured them." Qin Yu said calmly.

"Well, then what?" Mu Qing asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the two of them couldn't hold on and committed suicide?"

"Not really. We have special means to prevent them from committing suicide." Qin Yu was both surprised and expected by this answer. Hearing him say this, he felt a little better.

"I suspected they were involved in the death of my parents, so I tortured them, but they refused to say anything." Qin Yu said and took another sip of wine.

Mu Qing snatched the wine from his hand and took a small sip.

“Uncle Qin and his men’s deaths were not that simple. Although Uncle Qin was a civil servant, he was also well versed in the six arts of a gentleman. In addition, he had attendants following him, so ordinary people could not do anything to them.

There have always been rumors that Uncle Qin found out something and that’s why he lost his life.

"Zijin, did you see what was in the painting?" Mu Qing asked.

"I have already deciphered the contents of the painting. It is a list of personnel and a letter. The list happens to be the list of spies from the Western Regions. Father should have discovered this. The letter is a memorial to the Emperor." Qin Yu nodded. After the box of fake paintings was stolen, Qin Yu deciphered the contents of the real paintings overnight.

It's just that the thing in the painting was quite long, and I had to hurry, so it took some time.

As for the content of the letter, it was just as he had guessed before, someone was committing treason and colluding with the Western Regions, and his father was silenced because he discovered this.

"In this case, it is indeed possible that they are people from the Western Regions." Mu Qing lowered his head in thought. If this is the case, then the death of Uncle Qin and the others might really be related to Second Aunt and the others.

"Yeah." Qin Yu nodded.

"The reason why Second Aunt and the others have been unwilling to speak is entirely because they rely on the Western Regions. Although they are spies, they are also concubines and princesses of the Western Regions. As long as they have this status and as long as the Western Regions prince continues to favor them, then as long as the Great Zhou does not want to tear its face, they must not take their lives.

It is precisely because of this that they are so confident.

No matter whether the Prince of the Western Regions dotes on them or not, he will definitely not ignore them as long as he does not want them to bite back and leak information, and it is only a matter of time before he rescues them.

By then, one of them will be a concubine of the Western Region, and the other will be a princess of noble status. "Mu Qing expressed his guess. If it was as he guessed, the people from the Western Region should be arriving soon.

After all, although they are spies and have been lying in ambush here for many years, they are both tender-skinned and have never suffered. If the time is too long, it is inevitable that they will not be able to withstand the torture.

"So we should start from the Western Regions?" Qin Yu muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"Well, as long as they know and are sure that the Prince of the Western Regions has given up on them, then they might confess. But this is a bit difficult. After all, no one knows how the Prince of the Western Regions conveyed the message to them and what he promised them." Mu Qing nodded. With what they had done, simple wealth and glory should not be able to satisfy their appetite.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have to come here as undercover agents. As long as they could please the Prince of the Western Regions, they would have all of these things, and it would be much easier.

"I'll take care of this." Qin Yu showed a confident smile on his face. He reached out and touched Mu Qing's hair, making his hair a little messy.

"Hmm." Mu Qing glared at him lightly and tangled her hair again, which would take a long time this time.

"Do you want to come down? I'll catch you." Qin Yu stood up and jumped off the city wall, then stood below and stretched out his hand and said.

Mu Qing nodded and jumped lightly into Qin Yu's arms. Looking at Qin Yu who was so close to him, Mu Qing's heart beat faster.

Looking at the beauty so close to him, Mu Qing hugged Qin Yu's neck with both hands and kissed him on the mouth.

Qin Yu was stunned, and then two blushes flew to his ears. However, he did not push Mu Qing away. Instead, he hugged him and deepened the kiss.

Qin Yu didn't let go of Mu Qing until he was almost out of breath.

Looking at the redness on each other's faces, their heartbeats quickened.

"Qingqing, after this case is over, how about I go to the Mu family to propose marriage?" Qin Yu asked. For some reason, he always felt that the name Qingqing seemed to have been repeated thousands of times, and the two words that came out of his mouth were the first two.

"Okay, but then I'll probably have to go to the ancestral home again." Mu Qing said with a smile.

"Yeah." Qin Yu understood his look, which showed a hint of helplessness and full of joy.

Although Uncle Mu and the others would probably hate him even more if he went there this time, he still had to go. After all, Qingqing only had these few blood relatives, and he couldn't just take them back secretly.

"Oh, right!" Mu Qing suddenly remembered something. "Recently, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter, and it's raining more and more. Zijin, if there's a flood or something like that in the south, tell me. My family is quite wealthy, so I can donate some money when the time comes."

"?" There was a hint of confusion in Qin Yu's eyes. He didn't understand why Mu Qing suddenly said this?

However, the Mu family has always been a benevolent family of businessmen. Every year when various disasters occur, they always donate money. Although the money may not be delivered, it is also a token of the Mu family's goodwill.

"There should be no floods in the south this year. The emperor sent ministers to build a dam last year. If there are no problems, the south will be worry-free in the next few years." Qin Yu said.

Mu Qing didn't say anything, but just gave him a meaningful look in return. If the minister had really built it seriously, how could he have been found out by Zi Jin for corruption and abuse of power, and how could the dam in the south have burst?

If his memory served him correctly, the flood had lasted no more than a month or two. Even if he wanted to repair it now, he didn't have the time or supplies.

After all, things that need to be built are not always available.
