Chapter 102 The Five Innocent Masters of Yongzhou and Ah Sheng

After Qin Yuqing finished speaking, everyone looked at him in surprise.

The man in black was silent for a moment, and then a calm voice rang out: "Yes, you are very smart, but it's a pity."

The figure gradually disappeared into the cramped room, leaving behind only one sentence: "Your time is running out. The outcome is decided. Stop your fearless struggle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black disappeared, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

If that's the case, then I understand, Qin Yuqing said silently in his heart.

Unlike the others who were shocked, Qin Yuqing accepted everything calmly and walked to the desk, intending to sort out the belongings of the five adults.

Although the actions of the man in black did not provide any useful clues, they at least indirectly proved to everyone that there was something strange about the deaths of the five adults.

If we continue to think about it based on this moment, does the Fifth Master have other intentions in detaining Yao Yu's family?

But even so, why was the Yao family's head forced to confess his crime and face punishment? Could there be some hidden reason behind his death?

All of this seems like a mystery, shrouding everyone, but one vaguely feels that this matter should end.

While thinking, Qin Yuqing's hand touched a certain place on the table. The next moment, the table cracked from the center and turned into powder in an instant. A letter emerged from the powder and fell to the ground.

Lu Jingchuan bent down to pick it up, blew on it gently to blow away the wood chips, and then handed it to Qin Yuqing.

Qin Yuqing opened the envelope and read it softly.

"I don't know who you are to open this letter, but if you can see it, it means I'm already dead. I'm a humble person, the Fifth Lord, the prefect of Wuling City. I'm not a man of great ambition, I just want to make a living guarding my small piece of land."

"But perhaps it's beyond our control, and human wishes are ultimately elusive. Thirteen years ago, I stumbled upon the shocking plot of the Yu family and the Second Prince in the capital. I know I'm just a small prefect, and I should have remained deaf and dumb my entire life. But every time I see the people affectionately calling me their father and mother, I can't bear it."

Qin Yuqing read this and looked at the thirteen years ago mentioned again in the envelope. The node of all things was thirteen years ago.

If thirteen years ago was the beginning of all the conspiracies, then this year it officially surfaced, and now is the time to close the net.

Qin Yuqing took a deep breath, took out the next piece of paper and continued reading, "So I began to secretly collect clues, but seven years ago I discovered another conspiracy in Yongzhou, a deeper conspiracy hidden between the Yu family and the Second Prince."

"I understand that if I had stopped right then and kept all the secrets, I wouldn't have been in such a calamity today. But I ask myself, why would I give up? Why would I be so afraid of death?"

"With my further investigation, I eventually discovered everything, but at the same time, all the clues were destroyed. They used the people of Wuling City to coerce me into doing things for them."

"When I heard they were going to attack the Yao family, I was shocked and confused. To them, the Yao family was like an ant. That was until I found out that the Yao family went to Arhan and met with the high priest."

"The moment before they made their move, I took preemptive action, took away all the members of the Yao family, and secretly sent the head of the Yao family to Arhan. I think the head of the Yao family will understand what I am going to do."

"Now, I don't know who opened this letter, but if your heart is still with the Great Yin, please pass a message to the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing for me."

"Time is running out. The chessboard against you has already fallen when it was put back in place. The Lu family still has a chance of survival in the north. Yong and Bi provinces have both fallen. Lord Li is struggling. The throne of Wuling City has been passed to Yao Yu, the son of the Yao family. The person chosen by the Sixth Princess is also the person chosen by me."

"I am about to leave, and I don't know what to say. I hope the princess will bring peace to the world and peace to the sea."

At this point, the content of the letter has come to an end. Everyone is confused by the sudden amount of information. All things seem to be connected under the explanation of the five adults.

Qin Yuqing sighed slightly. She took out a pen and spoke with gratitude, but also with a bit of helplessness: "Fifth Master, if you write a letter again in your next life, please remember to write the content clearly."

Qin Yuqing began to write on the broken table: "Fifth Master, you should be thankful that it was us who saw this letter, and not someone else."

The paper simply wrote: Yu family, second prince, all cities in the west, and Alhan, and then Qin Yuqing looked at the last words.

them......

"Who are they referring to? You have to explain it clearly." Qin Yuqing looked at the words on the paper with a headache. The reference information of the Yu family was not very useful, after all, there was a crazy Yu Bingyan.

As for the Second Prince, he might know something, but it seems that he is also being used.

Whether he did it voluntarily or was forced to do it, he was now deeply involved in this game.

Being able to do things under Yu Bingyan's plan, regardless of whether Yu Bingyan discovered it or not, shows one thing: what they are going to do is as crazy as Yu Bingyan's.

It is even possible to become a person like Yu Bingyan.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Qin Yuqing recalled the strange southern mountain god, and she might have guessed what this group of people wanted to do.

If this is true, they are so cruel.

"It can be confirmed now that the people who killed people to silence them because of the Arhan incident are the ones mentioned in the letter from the five masters." Qin Yudan stroked the envelope with one hand. They are the biggest enemies in this trip to the west.

"But there is no one left in Alhan, it's as if he disappeared. Then where would the head of the Yao family be?" Qin Yuqing muttered to himself.

During the previous trip to the south, the biggest opponents were Yu Bingyan and the second prince, although the second prince did not appear in the south.

Qin Yuqing recalled that among the three waves of assassinations before leaving the capital, one group of people was holding the second prince's token, which was the reason why Qin Yuqing did not use the secret guards at that time.

If the Second Prince really wanted to kill him now, or if he wanted to use his own power to kill him, there would be no need to wait until now.

Although the man who injured the Fourth Princess was "parasitized" by Yu Bingyan, the weapon he used also had the mark of the Second Prince.

This second brother is not stupid, it is impossible that he exposed himself unintentionally. So what is his purpose in doing this? Is it to warn himself? Or to someone else?

Qin Yuqing looked up at everyone. Everyone was looking at him with burning eyes, without any sign of retreat, showing complete trust in him.

"I have a question." Qin Yuqing looked around the room. "Since the bodies of the five adults are here, where is Ah Sheng's body?"

"Where is Ah Sheng's body?"

Yao Yu suddenly raised his head and subconsciously wanted to look around the room, but when his eyes fell on Qin Yuqing, he retracted his steps.

"I guess the body is also in this room." After saying that, Qin Yuqing looked at Yao Yu and said with a smile, "I was narrow-minded before. Your first thought was right. Ah Sheng is waiting for you."

As soon as Qin Yuqing finished speaking, Yao Yu's eyes instantly turned red. Almost the next moment, he began to search the room, and Yao's mother also looked at Qin Yuqing with gratitude.

When Yao's mother heard the jailer say in prison that it was Ah Sheng who poisoned the child and that Ah Sheng had confessed his crime and been executed in front of the prefect, she did not believe it at all. Although she was not her biological son, she had watched him grow up and had feelings for him.

Maybe it was Asheng's soul that was always with Yao Yu. His hand was casually placed on a bookshelf. Because he was too excited, his fingers kept shaking, causing a very inconspicuous little book on the bookshelf to fall down.

The bookshelf made a loud noise and the ground shook slightly. Then, the bookshelf that was originally tightly closed began to move to both sides, and a dark and cramped space appeared in front of everyone.

With the help of the light in the room, Yao Yu saw the person kneeling on the ground at a glance. He was almost in an unstable state. He stumbled over and knelt on the ground with his fingers shaking constantly.

"Asheng, it's me, your brother Yao Yu." Yao Yu didn't dare to touch Asheng with her fingers, and said with a choked voice, "Look up at me, it's your brother Yao Yu who's back."

"Didn't you say you wanted to eat cakes from the capital? Brother Yao Yu brought some back for you."

The person who used to be full of smiles now hung his head lifelessly, not saying a word.

Yao Yu seemed to understand something that was already known, but he just couldn't believe it and stretched out his finger, tentatively approaching Asheng's nose.

When he could no longer feel any breath, Yao Yu placed her fingers on Ah Sheng's neck, which had already become stiff and cold.

Qin Yuqing walked over and was about to comfort Yao Yu when she saw Yao Yu directly reach her hand into A Sheng's clothes. Just when everyone was puzzled, Yao Yu pulled out a piece of letter paper.

His eyes were still red, but his words showed his unconcealed happiness and a hint of discomfort.

"I knew this kid was prepared!" Yao Yu's voice was a little proud, but gradually became sad and depressed. "Every time he likes something, he hides it in his clothes."

Yao Yu's voice was trembling with all his might. He seemed to want to smile and pretend that he didn't care, but when the words came to his lips, his emotions were no longer under his control.

"Look, I found it."

As these words fell, Yao Yu could no longer control her emotions, and tears rushed out like a broken dam.

"Sixth Princess, Ah Sheng's handwriting is a bit sloppy. Please bear with me when you read it." Yao Yu looked at the words on the letter paper that looked like dog crawling, but the ink marks of each stroke were very heavy, indicating that the person who wrote this letter paper was serious and put in a lot of effort.

Qin Yuqing sighed slightly, and Lu Jingchuan handed her a handkerchief at the right time. Although he was a little unhappy with Yao Yu, it was only because of his own possessiveness. Lu Jingchuan recognized the excellence of Yao Yu.

Yao Yu took the handkerchief and tried to read out the contents of the letter, but he was sobbing so hard that he couldn't speak. Even his words were broken and suppressed sobs, let alone words.

Lu Jingchuan took the letter and unfolded it, reading in his usual cold voice: "Brother Yao Yu, this time it's my turn to protect you and the Yao family. I'm no longer just a little follower hiding behind you."

After these words were spoken, even Yao's mother, who was pretending to be calm and suppressing her emotions, could not bear it. Xiaolu walked forward, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yao's mother, the girl's voice was crisp.

"Please rest assured, the gods will bless him with peace and happiness in his next life."

Hearing this, Mother Yao looked up at the girl. She knew that this girl was the goddess, and the person next to her was the imperial teacher.

"Thank you for the holy words of the goddess, Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng." Like Yao Yu, Yao's mother's voice choked unconsciously.

"He's a very good, very good kid."
