"Forgive me...forgive me...I just follow orders, I can't help myself..."

The masked man was completely useless, his screams became more and more shrill, and his intermittent words changed from "forgive me" to "kill me".

Yun Qi seemed to have never heard of it, he didn't even have the interest to take a look at his face when he took off the mask, just like that, while he was shaking his head desperately and struggling, he slowly poured the remaining half bottle of potion on his face.

The masked man uttered a heart-piercing scream, and bounced abruptly, like a fish whose belly had been stripped, rolling and convulsing desperately on the ground, leaving blood stains all over the ground, which were gradually diluted by the rain.

After a long time, it gradually became quiet.

Yun Qi looked at the masked man who was dying. It doesn't matter whether he is masked or not now, no matter who comes, he can't recognize who this face once belonged to.

The face towel has fallen off in the struggle, and there is not an inch of intact skin left on the exposed face. The eyes, nose, and lips have disappeared, turning into balls of twisted and fuzzy flesh and blood, which are constantly oozing blood under the rain .

With such an appearance, even the most daring person would be scared to death, but Yun Qi didn't feel anything, he was used to seeing such a face.

But this person is much stronger than him, he passed out quickly at the beginning, but this person is still awake until now, and still has the strength to curse him loudly.

It's just that the voice is weak and vague, and words such as "devil", "Buddha", and "not a good death" can be barely recognized.

The current scene is indeed bloody and brutal, and the cloud that caused all this seems to be worthy of the word "devil".

But he didn't take it seriously, so what about the devil?

In front of good people, he is willing to be a good person, in front of bad people, he would rather be a bad person, and in front of devils, he will naturally become a devil.

How you want to treat me, I will treat you, very fair.

As for the four words of repaying grievances with virtue, sorry, he has lived in the temple for ten years, but he has not been able to learn it.

How could he have no hatred or resentment in his heart for the indiscriminate disaster in his previous life, he just took revenge on the people in this life with what happened in his previous life, he couldn't convince himself.

So he should thank this person. If he hadn't appeared in front of him exactly the same, how could he have been able to dissolve the grievances from his previous life?

Yun Qi casually threw away the porcelain bottle, turned around and left.

"Stand! Stand still..."

The masked man who heard footsteps began to struggle again.

Yun Qi stopped in his tracks and said: "I don't want to die in such pain, I know you're waiting for me to ask - 'who instigated it', unfortunately no matter if you are going to tell the truth or lie, I don't want to hear it. "

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his heart suddenly moved and he turned his head to look.

From the dark place around the corner, a tall man slowly turned out, also masked in black, but Yun Qi could still recognize him: "Liu Yue?"

"Yes."

"Looking at it for a long time?"

"Yes."

"Come to collect his body?"

"Yes."

The spring rain is actually very cold, Yun Qi is already drenched all over, and he doesn't have any desire to chat, obviously Liu Yue is the same, so he said: "Your Highness, please go ahead."

about to leave.

Liu Yue quickened his pace and blocked his way: "Junior Brother!"

Yun Qi looked up, but Liu Yue fell silent again, until Yun Qi got a little impatient, and then whispered: "Did Gu Yaoqin tell you that I was the one who sent someone to destroy your appearance?"

Yun Qi was noncommittal, smiled lightly, and said, "Is that you?"

Liu Yue smiled a little bleakly, turned his head to avoid his gaze, and said: "Half a month, give me half a month, don't ask anything, don't care about anything, within half a month, I will give you an explanation... ..."

Yun Qi smiled, didn't hear him finish, and walked away.

When he returned to the yard and looked back, there was no one outside, neither Liu Yue nor the masked man had disappeared, only the blood stains on the ground gradually disappeared under the washing of the rain.

Yun Qi looked down at his drenched Tsing Yi, raised his hand and tore off a piece of the skirt, covered his face, turned and stepped into the rain.

He has already died once, if he still listens to what his senior brother says, then he has lived this life in vain?

It rained heavily, and the blood on the ground was quickly washed away, but the pungent smell still stubbornly hovered in the air.

Yun Qi didn't hide his figure on purpose, relying on his five senses, he followed the smell and followed it unhurriedly, and then found that the smell passed through a small door and entered the place where he had just come out during the day - the palace.

Yun Qi was stunned: What does that guy want to do?Transporting the corpse to the palace to destroy it?This is too ridiculous, right?

Yun Qi didn't have the ability to knock on the small door of the palace in the middle of the night like Liu Yue. Fortunately, he was good at lightness kungfu, his perception was high enough, and he was quite familiar with the palace. Coupled with the cover of the dark rainy night, after a lot of trouble, he finally He dived in without any risk.

It took Yunqi a little time to go around to find the scent again, and after passing through a few palaces, Yunqi saw the target he was chasing all the way.

Liu Yue had long since disappeared, and the man in black, who he had spent so much time transporting here, was being strangled by a rope around his waist, hanging motionless on the window lattice of a palace, apparently dead already.

He was suspended in the air, with his feet on the ground, and his upper body leaning against the window. From a distance, he seemed to be standing alone against the window.

Yun Qi looked at it for a while, then took off a branch and shot it out.

"Tuk!"

There was a soft sound on the window lattice.

After a while, there was some movement from the window. Someone came to the window and spoke in a low voice through the window. Unfortunately, they were too far away, and Yun Qi couldn't hear a word clearly.

Of course, the dead man hanging outside the window couldn't hear him either.

After a long time, seeing that the people outside neither responded nor left, the people inside the window finally couldn't sit still.

Yun Qi stood quietly in the shadows, watching the candles light up in the screen window, watching the screen window being opened by someone, watching the "person" "standing" against the window, and "jumping" in...

Even though he was indifferent like a cloud, there was an unbearable expression on his face.

Such a terrifying face, just looking at it from a distance, is already creepy, let alone suddenly appearing at such a close distance?Coupled with the rainy night, candlelight and the "flutter" action... it is enough to scare people to the point where their hearts burst and their souls fly away.

A horrified scream that was so short that people thought it was just a hallucination sounded, and the candlelight in the window shook violently for a few times before rolling to the ground and going out.

Under such circumstances, Yun Qi admired her for being able to swallow back the screams.

There was no movement in the window for a long time, only the "man" in black who poked his head into the window was gently shaken by the wind.

After a while, a pair of scissors came out of the window, cut the rope around the corpse's waist, dragged him in slowly, and closed the window.

……

The weather was not bad the next day, and the sun was willing to show its face.

It was unlucky that someone died outside the yard, so Yun Qi got up early in the morning and checked out of the room, and changed to another inn.

I still chose a clean courtyard, and the place I lived in was also clean—for two days in a row, everything was fine except that Zhang Chenglai had spoken twice and sent some things over, and there were many more pairs of eyes around.

Yun Qi is not in a hurry, Emperor Qian's mind is burning now, let him calm down before he can speak.

The place where Yun Qi lived was both an inn and a restaurant, the food tasted good, he didn't bother to go out, so he ate in the front lobby every day, listening to the guests talking about the mountains, it was also very interesting.

But today's topics are no longer varied, but concentrated in one place.

After the princes were imprisoned and demoted, there was finally another big news in the capital.

There is a corrupt official in Shanxi, a fourth-rank magistrate, who embezzles public funds, steals people's lives, sells officials and officials, seeks wealth and kills, robs people's daughters, sets up clever names to increase taxes, etc...everything that can be imagined, he Almost all of them have been done, and there are hundreds of people who died directly and indirectly at his hands.

From the perspective of the whole world, this is actually not an earth-shattering event, but the problem is that this corrupt official who has committed all kinds of evils has served as an official in the local area for three years, and the performance appraisal of the Ministry of Officials is excellent every year.

The local people whose families were ruined by him are countless, and there are quite a few people who go all out to sue, but most of them have nowhere to go. It was not until a few years later that they were stabbed in front of Emperor Qian.

In this matter, both the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment had unshirkable responsibilities, and Liu Qin and Liu Yue, who were in charge of the two departments respectively, could hardly shirk their responsibilities.

But in the mouths of the common people, they have become the chief culprits.

Why do such corrupt officials get excellent grades every year?Because wealth can pass through the gods - which god?Of course it is the fourth prince, Liu Qin, who is in charge of the Ministry of Officials.

With so many evil deeds, why do the people have nowhere to ask for help?Because officials protect each other—which official?Of course it is Liu Yue, the sixth prince who is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment.

"The third prince is gone, the eldest prince, the second prince, and the fifth prince were imprisoned, and the seventh prince was demoted to common people. Now even the fourth prince and the sixth prince are..." Someone counted on his fingers, shook his head and sighed. : "Our Majesty is wise and mighty, how can we give birth to sons, but all of them are... Sigh!"

Yun Qi listened to the discussion, finished his meal in silence, paid the bill, then got up, and patted the shoulder of the man in Tsing Yi who was sitting not far from the door.

The man seemed to be frightened by him, and stared at him blankly, with cold sweat slowly oozing from his forehead.

Yun Qi said: "Please go back and tell your master that I returned his five-entry mansion last time, can you lend me a few more days?"

The man answered "Yes" in a low voice, bent over and retreated to the door, turned around and left quickly.
