Chapter 70 Qing Yi is eavesdropping again

The old man and the girl were indeed beggars, and they rarely had access to roast chicken on ordinary days. But now they devoured the chicken in no time at all, and then lay down on the haystack and fell asleep.

Qing Yi took a look at the chicken drumstick in his hand and felt something was wrong the moment he took a bite. He tore the meat apart with his hands and saw that the chicken bones were a strange black color, obviously poisonous!

He quickly looked at the old man and the girl in the cell next door, only to see them both lying quietly, seemingly asleep. However, Qing Yi knew in his heart that they must have been poisoned and were probably dead.

At this moment, there was a burst of voices outside. Qing Yi looked in the direction of the voice and heard that the Dali Temple had sent someone to pick him up and transfer the "murderer" to the Dali Temple cell.

Qing Yi didn't say a word, but silently followed the men who claimed to be from the Dali Temple out of the cell. They tied Qing Yi up, blindfolded him, and then took him away from the prison in the capital.

Although he couldn't see, Qing Yi could feel that perhaps these people didn't realize how high his martial arts skills were at all, and only regarded him as an ordinary warrior, so they seemed particularly casual when escorting him.

"The young master said to lock him up in the villa's water dungeon!" one of them said.

"How did this person offend the young master? How can he have a chance of survival if he is locked up?" Another person seemed to express regret.

"Hey, why do you care about these things? Just do whatever the young master tells you to do. It has nothing to do with us if he dies."

"But what if the master finds out?"

"Everyone is dead, how would the master know what's going on? If you don't want to do it, just tell the young master as soon as possible. Don't even think about the ten taels of silver. I'll go by myself."

"Hey! How big could the grudge be? Why do you want to take someone's life?" The man was still helpless, but he was just a small security guard. What else could he do? He just had to do whatever his master asked him to do, not to mention there was a reward of ten taels of silver.

Qing Yi listened to the conversation between the two and started to think about it in his heart.

After traveling for over an hour, the carriage finally stopped. The two men dragged Qing Yi to the villa's water dungeon, intending to throw him in. Qing Yi was not a good swimmer, and if he were thrown into the dungeon, he would be in great danger.

But he couldn't wait any longer. Qing Yi secretly gathered his internal strength and instantly broke free from the ropes that bound him. He reached out to take off the blindfold, and then kicked the two men into the water prison one by one.

Before the two men could react, half of their bodies were already in the water. They were so frightened that they begged for mercy: "Master, spare us! Master, spare us!"

"Want to live?" Qing Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer.

"Master, spare my life!"

"Well, you can spare my life, but tell me, who is the young master of your family?" Qing Yi asked fiercely.

"Xue... Young Master Xue, Xue An." Qing Yi found it funny. This man confessed too quickly.

"Oh? It's really this idiot!" A trace of disdain flashed in Qing Yi's eyes.

"You just stay here for one night. I'll pick you up tomorrow." Qing Yi said coldly, and then he no longer paid attention to the two people's wailing. He flashed and flew away.

Qing Yi was determined to find that idiot Xue An and settle the score. He had dared to plot against him, which was simply courting his own death! He had originally thought Xue An was also in the villa, but after searching, he found that the villa seemed sparsely populated. Perhaps it was the late night, the surroundings were silent and quiet, with no one moving around, and the silence was a little eerie.

Qing Yi had originally planned to leave and head directly to Xue's residence to settle accounts with Xue An. But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a man in a gray shirt, carrying a package on his back and holding a lantern, looking around furtively. "Hmph, he doesn't look like he's up to no good!" Qing Yi thought to himself, and immediately decided to see what this man was up to.

Not long after, a woman came.

"Oh, Taohong, I miss you so much!" As soon as the man in gray saw the woman who had just arrived, he immediately put the lantern on the ground and came over impatiently.

"Uncle Hu, don't be anxious! There's plenty of time! Have you brought the things?" The woman named Taohong spoke in a charming voice. Facing the approach of the man in gray, she had no intention of dodging at all.

"I brought it, I brought it! Take a look!" The man quickly took off the package on his body and handed it to Taohong, obviously not wanting to waste time on this matter.

"Come on, let's go inside." Taohong took the package with a smile, took the arm of the man in gray, and the two of them entered the room together.

Qing Yi saw all this clearly in the dark. After the two entered the house, he looked around to see if there was anyone around, quietly poked a hole in the window paper, and looked inside the house.

"Taohong, stop looking. There must be no mistake. I brought it just as the person inside gave it to me. Hurry up, I haven't seen you for almost a month. I miss you so much!" The man in gray touched Taohong and seemed very anxious.

"Don't worry, I'll just take a look." Taohong said as she opened the package.

Qing Yi looked at it carefully and thought to himself, "What is this?" When the package was opened, he saw some jewelry such as jade hairpins and jade bracelets inside.

"What's so good about these broken things? What about them? Wouldn't it be better to take some gold objects from them?" The gray-shirted man said with disdain, obviously looking down on these things.

"Uncle Hu, you just need to do your job well. You will get some benefits." After reading it, Taohong wrapped the package again and put it in the wooden cabinet. Then she came to the man in gray and started to act coquettishly.

"Haha, that's right. There's not only the reward money, the most important thing is you!" said the man in gray, reaching out to take off Taohong's clothes.

Qing Yi couldn't help but feel annoyed. Why did he keep running into this kind of situation lately? These two were in the heat of the moment. If he continued to peek, it would seem too dirty.

Qing Yi planned to ruin the good thing for these two people. Although it was not very kind to do so according to common sense, he had to finish these things quickly so that he could go back to Xiao Ye. He didn't know if Xiao Ye was worried about him.

Just as Qing Yi was about to speak, Tao Hong asked, "Mr. Hu, you look so anxious. If you're in such a hurry, why didn't you come earlier? I've been waiting for you all day."

The gray-shirted man seemed to be in a good mood and said, "The Northwest Little Prince's men have offended the Young Master. So, the Young Master devised a plan to capture that man and has been busy with this matter ever since."

When Qing Yi heard this, he immediately resisted the urge to speak and decided to listen again.
