The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

He heard so much of what was said just now. Could it be that he knows everything?

Yu Wenzhen opened his mouth to shout, but something popped out from Qi Yu's hand and accurately blocked his open mouth.

"Uh, wuwu."

Just as Yu Wenzhen was about to struggle, Qi Yu teleported in front of him, grabbed his right arm, and clasped it behind his back with one hand.

"...It hurts, it hurts, Your Highness, please spare my life, Prince!"

Yu Wenzhen struggled to spit out the contents of his mouth and finally managed to make a sound. The pain in his arm had already made him sweat profusely.

He didn't dare to yell anymore, and in a voice that only the two of them could hear, he begged humbly, "Your Highness, spare my life."

"The village chief is a man who can take things as they come. He's quite a man of character."

Qi Yu was used to seeing people who said one thing to one person and another thing to another, and he couldn't stand it anymore. Not only did he not let go, he twisted it hard, and with a click, half of Yu Wenzhen's arm was removed.

"what!"

I couldn't make a sound even if I shouted.

I couldn't even roar.

The cold sweat on his back soaked his entire shirt. Although Qi Yu had already let him go, Yu Wenzhen felt that he was helpless at this moment.

"You...what on earth do you want to do?"

"You can fool Sun Xian, but you can't fool me, Beicheng. Are those children really in Beicheng?"

He asked, those deep eyes staring at him intently, as if he had already seen through him.

“When I was helping my father review memorials, I happened to know about this place called North City.

"Although North City is rich, it has a custom that outsiders are never allowed to enter. How could all your kidnapped children be sent to that place?"

Qi Yu asked: "What is it being sent for? Who will receive it? You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise..."

He raised his lips wickedly, his cold eyes slowly staring at his other arm.

"do not want!"

Yu Wenzhen huddled back, seeing him like a living devil, with a dagger hidden in his smile, he truly felt the oppression coming from the king who was looking down on him.

But if he really said it, his only fate would be death.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I really don't know where those children were sent. I was just following orders."

At this time, he can only pin his hopes on a third person.

As for whether Qi Yu can find it out, that depends on his ability.

Yu Wenzhen knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again, just like he had begged Sun Xian just now. The only difference was that he was intact just now, but now one of his arms had been removed.

"Who do you obey? Where is he now? Tell me in detail."

Yu Wenzhen was stunned and was about to make up an address and name to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but Qi Yu didn't believe him at all.

He stepped hard on the back of his other hand, and before he could scream, he covered his mouth again.

"You were able to hide this from even the county magistrate, hiding so many jewels, and not a single letter from your study to other places. You have been able to operate undiscovered for so long, and the only person responsible is you. Yu Wenzheng, are you sure you don't want to tell me the truth?"

Cold sweat flowed into his eyes, and Yu Wenzhen was so stimulated that he couldn't open his eyes.

His vision was blurred, as if the person standing in front of him was not the humble young man who came to the mansion to seek cooperation that day, but a devil.

Yu Wenzheng gasped for breath and carefully shook his immobilized arm, hoping that he would show mercy. He said in a hoarse voice, "So, you had already checked my house before you came here."

He checked him out thoroughly.

I'm afraid all his chips are in his eyes.

He can't escape.

"I said……"

Yu Wenzhen slowly raised his head and looked at Qi Yu, looking at his innate majesty.

"Your Highness, you are wise and valiant. Even in Lingnan, I am well-known for your wisdom and bravery. But... but are you really willing to be wronged and exiled to such a desolate place? You are wronged, but you have great ambitions. You love your country and your people, and you are a good person! I don't believe you have done such a terrible thing."

Yu Wenzhen became more and more excited as he spoke. Seeing that Qi Yu's expression was slightly moved by what he said, he seemed to see hope.

Slowly moving to his side, he said, "Sun Xian's dungeon is so deep that not even a fly can get in. Since you were able to break in, it means you are very capable and your martial arts are superb. I am willing to give all my gold, silver and jewelry to Your Highness first. Your Highness, take the treasures and escape. Return to the Imperial Capital, that is where you can display your heroic martial arts."

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

"escape?"

Qi Yu raised his voice slightly.

The cold eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of illusion.

Well, if he goes back with a huge sum of money and arranges things along the way, not only will no one reveal his whereabouts, but if he's lucky he might even be able to find evidence that the imperial concubine was plotting to murder him.

Not only was he able to restore his identity, he was also the crown prince who was second only to the emperor.

I have to admit that this village chief knows how to bewitch people.

"It's really a waste of your talent to let you be the head of Huai Village."

It’s a pity that this brain is not used in the right place.

"Since you know my methods, I won't waste time talking to you. I'll ask you one last time, where are those children? I don't have much patience." Qi Yu's voice was evil and charming, and he issued an ultimatum.

-

Penal colony.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when two men wearing black scarves and masks quietly sneaked into the already deserted camp.

Walking past the sleeping yamen runner, the two men came to the townhouse.

There are five rooms in total. There are big gaps in the wooden houses, and you can vaguely see the scene inside.

The two checked one by one and finally stopped in front of Qi Yu's door.

"Third brother, this is the room. Light the fire quickly and burn him to death."

"But these houses are all townhouses, and other people will be burned to death." The man called the third brother hesitated and was afraid to throw away the lit fire stick.

"What are you afraid of? If you die, you die. Haven't you and I done enough evil things?"

So many children have been sold by them, some of whom have even recovered from illness, but they don’t care. How can they care about these fugitives?

"They're going to die sooner or later anyway."

After he finished speaking, he rushed forward and poured kerosene all over the house, then snatched the fire stick from his third brother's hand and threw it in.

bass.

The flames filled the sky and instantly reached the roof, like a giant beast in the darkness that had become angry.

"Run!"

The two turned back along the way they came, and soon they heard cries for help and screams behind them.

When Qi Yu pried open Yu Wenzhen's mouth and came out of the dungeon, he saw flames in the distance, burning half the sky red.

That location... is a place of exile.

Someone is setting fire!

Qi Yu secretly cried out in alarm and couldn't help but quicken his pace. At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart, was it an accidental fire, or was it someone deliberately setting the fire? Could it be the imperial concubine's people again?

"Oh no, Jiang Zhi is still in the room."

If it was really the imperial concubine's men who wanted to murder him, then the fire was prepared for him. Not only was Jiang Zhi in the room, but the convicts were also living there. Once the fire started, no one could escape.

The prisoners are innocent.

Qi Yu tapped his toes lightly and was about to fly over the eaves and walls when two figures suddenly flew down from the sky, blocking his way, one in front and one behind.

"Did you two set the fire?"

The two looked at each other, and one of them sneered, "Those two losers are incapable of accomplishing anything."

"But it doesn't matter. Your people... are already dead."
