Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Chapter 144 Who is right and who is wrong

Sheng Changan was silent for a while, then asked, "You are Qiao Song's wife, why are you here?"

"Don't worry, he didn't throw me here, but it's almost the same." The woman smiled bitterly. "You dare to call him by his name directly, so I'll make a bold guess."

"Sheng Chang'an, the magistrate of Guangping County." Her empty eyes were filled with tears, but she still held them back.

She didn't need Sheng Changan to answer, and leaned against the wall. "I've heard of you. You're very famous, at least here. So can you help us?"

"Before that, I need to know what happened here?" Sheng Changan's heart moved slightly.

She did not deny her words. Tears finally fell from the woman's eyes, and her voice choked with sobs, "Originally, my family background was quite good. I had no worries about food and clothing. My father was a wealthy man in the city. He had thousands of acres of fertile land, a huge fortune, and a group of servants."

"But when you have money, you naturally want power. People are always greedy. That's when Qiao Song appeared."

The woman's eyes were bloodshot, and her expression was a little crazy. "Young and successful, all men submit wherever his sword points. Who wouldn't want to try his luck at following the dragon?"

"Although he was young and famous, he didn't have much wealth after all, so I became his wife. From then on, my property became his. My father and mother died tragically one after another."

"I sensed something was wrong and discovered that he was actually colluding with the Xianbei. His claims of young fame were all lies."

Sheng Changan frowned. Ever since she occupied all the counties along the border, all checkpoints had been under martial law. It was impossible for the Xianbei to appear here. "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"How could I be wrong? You know what these people love most is to take other people's wives by force." The woman opened her collar, which was covered with mottled marks, and blood began to flow from the corners of her mouth.

Sheng Changan pulled her clothes open and found that the marks underneath her clothes were horrible. Some places were black and purple. Considering her current appearance, it was obvious that she had internal injuries.

The woman took out a blood-stained handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Ten miles west of here is where the Xianbei people gather."

"I only know that these Xianbei people should still have some connection with the imperial court. Qiao Song is no longer the same Qiao Song as before." She held Sheng Changan's wrist tightly.

"He is a puppet of the imperial court, and even more so of the Xianbei. I never knew there were so many Xianbei people in Jingguo. This world is truly rotten."

Sheng Changan's eyes were slightly red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "What's your name?"

"Name? Oh! They all call me Mrs. Qiao. Putting me here might be his last bit of mercy." Blood kept oozing out of the corners of her mouth, mixed with tears and falling down.

Sheng Changan took a deep breath and felt her pulse. It had dragged on for too long and there was no way to save her. "Don't worry, these people will never let her go."

"I know. I really want to go to Guangping and take a look. I heard that women here can also be the masters of the house, right?"

"Correct."

“I really hope I can live like this in my next life.”

Feeling the person in his arms gradually lose his breath, Sheng Changan slowly stood up, his eyes sharp, "Is everything cleaned up?"

"It's over." Shen Huaizhi walked in, the knife in his hand still dripping with blood.

Sheng Changan walked outside and looked at the dark sky. She put her hand in her mouth and blew a whistle, and an eagle landed on her wrist.

She lowered her brows and took the paper and pen from the person next to her. Her handwriting was so sharp that it almost penetrated the back of the paper.

Yuan Qi remained silent at first. He didn't expect his second uncle to make such a big move. Judging from the situation, he probably had joined forces with his fifth brother.

At the speed of an eagle, it should only take an hour to fly from here to Guangping, but it would take more than a month to get from Guangping to here at full speed, not to mention the possibility of war on the way.

She swept her eyes over everyone present and slowly said, "I want to take over Yunfeng City."

At first she thought that one must take one step at a time and that one must first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies, but now it seems that this is totally unnecessary.

"They used the excuse of treacherous officials in power, colluding with foreign enemies, and killing the Liu family to rectify the emperor's situation, and marched directly to the capital."

Yuan Qisu's face tightened and he said "Yes". Now all the people in Yunfeng City are evidence, so naturally the court will not tolerate lies.

"But, sir, there are only twenty-three of us." This includes him and the sir. It would be unlikely to capture the city.

"It's not that we can't give it a try. We just need to delay time and wait for the army to arrive, and then we can cooperate internally and externally." Shen Huaizhi's face was full of murderous intent.
