Chapter 60 Misstep
It was also the first time that Yang Li had seen such a scene. In the past, his presence was almost non-existent and he was just a prefect.
But he had been an official for many years after all, and it just took him a short while to get used to it. He calmed down, and seeing that they had not stopped yet, Yang Li coughed. The sound was not loud, but it was enough to silence these civilians and miners who had been clamoring for justice.
Zhen Qingyi looked at Yang Li. Even though he was over fifty years old, he still stood straight as before. His gray hair was tied up high, making him look energetic, as if he was a few years younger.
He stared at Yang Li without blinking, and heard his powerful words:
"If that's the case, I have worked with Magistrate Huang for many years. Now that everyone is completely disappointed with Magistrate Huang and wants justice, I will not stand idly by. Come on, someone!"
Having said this, Yang Li shouted, and the servant behind him came forward, bowed, and waited for Yang Li's next instructions.
“…Go and ask Magistrate Huang to come out, and we will confront him in court!”
Zhen Qingyi's brows twitched slightly. Hearing this, she subconsciously turned her gaze to Gu Junqing. She felt someone looking at her from behind. She took a look and saw it was Zhen Qingyi. Gu Junqing nodded, signaling him not to worry.
Someone went in and looked for someone in the mansion.
After all, from the perspective of the common people now, Huang Zhenxing is in the Huang Mansion right now, but he hasn't shown up yet because he sees that they are outnumbered and feels guilty.
They still need to send people to catch them personally.
While they were busy capturing Huang Zhenxing in the front yard, Yucheng, which was adjacent to Suzhou.
Qingyi looked at the figure that had disappeared not far from the alley entrance, biting her lower lip with her silver teeth and tensing her body. The secret guards behind her fell silent for a moment when they saw Qingyi's expression, and even their breathing was light.
After only a few seconds of daze, Qingyi reacted quickly and walked towards the door of her original residence with big feet. There was another person following her, but as long as she raised her eyes, she could see a face that was exactly the same as Gu Junqing's, but at this moment her face was full of intersections, and there was a spot on the left side of her cheek where her makeup was washed off by water.
Her voice came out naturally, but the tone was soft and gentle, which was very different from Gu Junqing's deliberately lowered voice that sounded cold and magnetic.
"Qing Yi! What are you doing?!"
At this time, they returned to their residence and were temporarily safe. The surroundings were also safe and their conversations would not be heard by anyone with ulterior motives.
Qinghe also removed the disguise makeup, and the mask needed for disguise was also placed on the table. However, when Qinghe looked at Qingyi who was packing a simple bag and preparing to go somewhere, she couldn't help but question him.
Qing Yi still buried his head in cleaning up: "I'm going to find the general..." "Then what about here?!"
“…But General, this place has been exposed!”
Qingyi seemed to be unable to hold back her inner grievances, and her tone was full of tears. After saying this, she immediately continued:
"They may have discovered the general's plan and recognized that we were deceiving them through disguise. They may have already gone to Suzhou to assassinate the general in secret! The general has so few people on his side, how can she do it alone?!"
"The general's plan was exposed because of my negligence. How can I not be anxious? What if the general meets with an accident because of my negligence..."
Qingyi didn't dare to think any further!
"Qingyi, it's not your fault. It was Bai Yuan who betrayed us! Moreover, he has now died under your sword!"
That’s right, it was Bai Yuanxian who betrayed them, but now he has been killed by them.
If Gu Junqing asked, he would not object. "But they have already discovered something is wrong, and we don't know which side these people are on..."
"We have to trust the general, and I have already sent people to Suzhou to look for the general. Qingyi, you have to know that if one of us is not in Yucheng, it will arouse more suspicion and speculation. We can't leave here!"
Indeed, in public occasions where Gu Junqing is present, Qingyi and Qinghe are indispensable. If one of them disappears, those people will definitely guess where the general has sent the person to and what mission he has sent her to, or they will think about things more and more complicatedly. The more they think about it, the more likely they are to suspect something.
Qing Yi bit her lower lip in hatred, her eyes full of resentment as she said, "The general is walking on thin ice every year. Not only do you have to guard against wolves and tigers outside, you also have to guard against your own family members!"
...
"Lord Hua, we are almost at Suzhou."
"You take a group of people and go there first. After you have a look around, send someone back to tell me. We will meet at East Lake."
"Yes"
……
Gu Junqing, who was staying in the front yard of the Huang Mansion, had no idea what had happened in Yu Cheng, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know why.
But it was enough to make her alert. After all, sometimes she still believed in intuition.
However, she looked around and couldn't see anything wrong here.
Before he had time to think about it, Huang Zhenxing was brought up by the servant.
Huang Zhenxing was neatly dressed and looked a little haggard, but otherwise he was no different from usual, as if he had never been tied up by Gu Junqing and the others.
So the people and miners didn't notice anything wrong, and their eyes were filled with fear or resentment, with different emotions.
Huang Shan, who had been kneeling on the ground without saying a word, felt a pang in his heart when he saw his lord prefect looking so gloomy. He also vaguely guessed that things were not simple and that these people had a well-thought-out plan.
Suddenly, I felt a chill in my heart.
They all planned it out!
Yang Li coughed and looked at Huang Zhenxing. He remembered that this man had always been arrogant and conceited, and never took him seriously. Even though they were of the same rank, he still treated him like a subordinate.
As for the person behind him, he had some vague guesses in his heart, but he didn't want to think about it too deeply, for fear of getting into unnecessary trouble and implicating the people in his own house.
But now he looks so embarrassed and cowardly, which is really rare, but it is also somewhat satisfying.
Coming back to his senses, he looked at Huang Zhenxing and said in a deep voice:
"Sir Huang, do you know these people here? I heard that they were recruited by you, Sir Huang. Although I don't know what they did for you, I don't need to ask more questions, but regarding their names..."
“…I cannot ignore this.”
Indeed, what Gu Junqing said at the time was how they were oppressed by the people in the Huang Mansion, but he did not explain in detail what they did. No people asked, so he thought forget it. Wouldn't it be more authentic to let Huang Zhenxing admit it himself?
