After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 357 Someone must have hidden him



Chapter 357 Someone must have hidden him

His whole body was limp and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

Yuan Qing's eyes were sharp, "Why don't you tell the truth?"

Shi Laogui climbed up the edge of the table with his fingers, half of his ghostly eyes appeared from below, "I said, can you save my life?"

Yuan Qing didn't fall for his trick and just said, "It depends on your performance."

This means that he has to show enough sincerity in exchange for a chance to survive.

Although Shi Laogui could not read or write, he knew what to do at the moment to be best for himself.

Things have come to this point. Even if he doesn't confess, that person will definitely not let him off.

Rather than dying in obscurity, it is better to trust the person in front of me. At least he can't go back on his word in front of so many people.

Shi Laogui's eyes rolled, "I can't say it here, you have to let me in."

He wanted to go inside, as it might be the safest place, in case there was a killer hiding outside.

Wow, this old ghost Shi is quite smart.

Yuan Qing ordered the guards: "Take him away and keep a close watch on him. Don't let anything unexpected happen to him."

Yuan Qing looked at the people around him who were watching the show, "Do you have any further questions?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Since you have nothing to say, let's end today's matter here. If anyone dares to spread rumors or deliberately fabricate them, I will punish them according to the law and show no mercy!"

After the crowd dispersed, a sedan chair came swaying from the side.

Yuan Qing patted Ah Huang.

Ah Huang understood immediately, rushed into the sedan chair, opened his mouth and bit the corner of Tang He's robe.

Tang He kicked with one foot, trying to get rid of Ah Huang, "Let go!"

Ah Huang cried out a few times, indicating that he would never give in.

The man and the dog were fighting each other and walked up to Yuan Qing.

"Hey, what are you all doing standing at the door? Go in quickly, don't let people laugh at me, the people of Dali Temple, for not knowing the rules."

Yuan Qing: "..."

Lord Tang must have watched the show enough and showed up on time.

Tang He stepped into the courtyard, looked towards Jiang Qisheng, and asked hesitantly, "How is he?"

"I don't know." Yuan Qing shook his head. "I haven't seen him since I came here. He should still be in the house."

When the two of them walked towards his yard, they found that Jiang Qisheng had already packed up and was standing in the corridor waiting for them.

Tang He walked over quickly and said, "I heard that you were sick. Why don't you stay in the house and rest? What are you doing out here?"

"I'm not sick." Jiang Qisheng said helplessly, "I'm just a little tired from working on the case these days."

Yuan Qing went into the house later and poured himself a cup of tea to quench his thirst.

Jiang Qisheng looked over.

Yuan Qing raised his glass and gestured, "Old Ghost Shi has been detained. This is your own business. I leave it to you."

Jiang Qisheng didn't know nothing.

It was precisely because I understood it too well that I was so heartbroken and almost devastated after learning the truth.

Jiang Qisheng nodded, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Yuan Qing put down the teacup and turned to leave the room. "As a friend, I will help you. Call me if you need anything. I'm going home first."

Tang He stroked his beard and smiled, "I didn't think this kid was any good at first, but now it seems that he does have a kind of demeanor that can impress others. He is worthy of being a member of the Gong family."

Jiang Qisheng also smiled, "Your Majesty has a good eye for talent, so the one he chooses will certainly not be bad."

Yuan Qing returned to the house and found that Gong Chan had gone out and had not returned yet.

"Haruyuki?" she called out.

No one responded.

The whole yard was empty.

Haruyuki is missing too?

She suddenly remembered that she had previously asked Jiang Qisheng's servant to look for someone, but he didn't find Gong Chan, so he could only tell Chunxue about it.

Did she go out alone to look for her?

Oh, by the way, there are secret guards left behind!

How had she nearly forgotten them?

Yuan Qing sent out a secret guard, and the secret guard appeared from behind the wall, "Master."

"Where's Haruyuki?"

She didn't ask Gong Chan, because with Gong Chan's martial arts skills, it would be easy to get rid of these people.

Mainly spring snow.

She has no ability to protect herself and cannot speak, so if something really happens, it will be difficult for her to escape.

"Someone has already followed him." The secret guard replied, "Also, what the servant said earlier is not related to the master."

"It has nothing to do with me...what do you mean?"

"He only told Chunxue that the master had caught a cold a few days ago, and asked her to take better care of him according to Master Jiang's instructions. He left after giving her a few instructions."

Didn’t he mention Jiang Qisheng?

Yuan Qing couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he asked again: "Do you know which direction she went?"

"West side."

"She will be back soon." Gong Chan fell from the wall, her breathing unusually rapid, "I——"

"Let's go back first."

Yuan Qing tested the kettle with his hand, "Sorry, I just got back too, there's no hot water in the kettle."

Gong Chan shook her head, calmed down a little, and said, "I left the house for no reason today because I found someone."

"Who?"

"Kuang Ce."

When Gong Chan mentioned him, the hatred in her eyes was undisguised.

"I swore in front of my aunt's spirit that I would fight that man in this life, not only for revenge, but more importantly, I had to take back the reputation of my Gong family from him."

This is the rule of the world.

My aunt fought with him for many days, but there was no winner.

But since then, my aunt's health has been declining, and people in the martial arts world have spread the rumor that the strongest man in the Gong family was defeated by a wandering knight, and the reputation of the Gong family has plummeted since then.

Since she had taken over the Gong family inheritance from her aunt, she naturally had to shoulder the responsibility of restoring the family's reputation.

To this end, she studied hard day and night and defeated a group of masters who came to challenge her.

But there is still one person in this world whom she has never fought.

She has been waiting for many years.

Yuan Qing naturally knew that Gong Chan traveled around the world just to find Kuang Ce.

But now she was a little worried.

Kuang Ce had followed Mo Si before, but he disappeared without a trace after the case was closed. Someone must have hidden him away.

After such a long time, Kuang Ce appeared in the capital for no reason, and appeared in front of Gong Chan at such a coincidental time.

The person who controls Kuang Ce not only knows the Gong family, but also knows the Jiang family better.

Thinking of this, Yuan Qing suddenly felt a huge net appear out of nowhere above her head, trapping her, Jiang Qisheng, and even other people who had not yet appeared.

This is no longer a simple question of who to target.

A huge feeling of suffocation came over Yuan Qing, his face turned pale, and he felt that breathing became much more difficult.

The enemy was already approaching, but she was unaware.

It is really wrong to be so careless.

Gong Chan asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Yuan Qing stroked his chest. "Kuang Ce's sudden appearance in the capital is not a good thing. I am not worried about your martial arts, but two fists cannot beat four hands. I am afraid that they will be immoral and secretly harm you."

"I know."

"It's hard to guard against hidden attacks. Even if you are prepared, no one knows how despicable they will be. Neither you nor I can afford to take the risk." Yuan Qing looked at her, "I will help you find out the whereabouts of Kuang Ce. Just think of it as me being unable to leave you. For my sake, you should also think twice before acting."

"Okay." Gong Chan smiled and held her hand back, "I promise you, I won't act impulsively again."

The door was knocked open.

Chunxue, her clothes stained with blood, stumbled into the house, grabbed Yuanqing's arm and was about to leave.

"What happened?"

She didn't have time to explain and ran into the alley with a few people.

Yuan Qing immediately saw the dying man lying on the ground.

"Uncle Li!"

Uncle Li is a guard who has followed my father for many years and is also the master who first taught Ayi martial arts.

At this time, he had lost most of his vitality and his breathing was extremely weak.

Yuan Qing looked at the wounds on his body. Most of them were knife wounds, and the bones were visible in some places.

Gong Chan picked him up without saying a word and said, "I'll take him to a nearby clinic first."

Yuan Qing nodded and said to Chunxue, "Go back and change your clothes first, then come back to see us."

When she rushed to the clinic, the doctor was treating the patient in the back room.

Several people worked until late at night and finally managed to pull the man back from the brink of death.

In order to make it easier to take care of him, Yuan Qing took the man back home and asked a doctor to see him regularly every day. By the next day, the man was able to open his eyes.

The doctor said that this was because he was physically strong. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago after suffering such a serious injury.

"Uncle Li, do you want to take the medicine now?" Yuan Qing walked into the room holding a bowl.

Mo Li's face was bandaged so tightly that only one eye and one mouth could move.

"Come, I'll feed you."

He absolutely did not dare to let the young master take care of him like this, and struggled to get up and drink by himself.

Yuan Qing held the bowl in one hand, went over to hold him down, and said with a stern face: "The situation has finally improved, you can't move again."
