As he said this, Liang Qiuyi pointed in the direction of the corpse.
In order to avoid scaring the young ladies, the forest guard had just found an outer robe and covered the corpse with it.
Thinking of the blood-stained face under the robe, everyone shuddered.
The oath Liang Qiuyi made was really cruel!
But this time, no one was led astray by her thoughts.
It was one thing for the maid named Chunyan to collude with the Northern Barbarian spies. It was another thing for Liang Qiuyi to harm Wei Yunlan.
Regardless of whether the former is related to Liang Qiuyi, the latter is an indelible fact.
The several young ladies who had spoken for Liang Qiuyi before kept silent, secretly annoyed that they had believed her words of grievance.
Qiu Yuehua was even more furious, staring at Liang Qiuyi and said, "I was wondering why your family had to use my mother's hand to get a letter from me when I clearly didn't want to invite you. It turns out that you had the intention of harming me from the beginning!"
Qiu Yuehua was really angry this time.
Wei Yunlan was the guest she wanted to invite from the bottom of her heart, but Liang Qiuyi had to invite her because of the Liang family's favor. If nothing had happened, it would have been fine, but this happened, and she felt that she was being used by Liang Qiuyi.
Fortunately, Wei Yunlan was not really hurt, or anyone else was accidentally hurt, otherwise, as the initiator of this hunting in the forest, how would she explain to these people!
If looks could cut people, Qiu Yuehua would have wanted to skin Liang Qiuyi alive.
However, she couldn't do that, so she had to lead everyone and stand away from Liang Qiuyu as if they were avoiding something dirty.
At that moment, on the hillside, more than a dozen young ladies who came to hunt were clearly divided into two sides. Liang Qiuyi was alone, except for the pale maid who shivered from time to time.
At this time, the forest guard at the bottom of the hill finally shouted, "The people from the Military Intelligence Department are here!"
A group of people entered the forest, and the leader was a square-faced man in official robes. When he saw the people gathered on the hillside, he immediately dismounted and asked solemnly, "Where are the captured barbarians?"
Following the man in the official robe, the official who dismounted from his horse quickly took out the token representing the North Pass Military Intelligence Department and explained to the captain of the forest guard team and Huang Yuling and others, "This is the new left deputy director of the North Pass Military Intelligence Department, Lord Lu."
The Director of the Beiguan Military Intelligence Department held an official position of the fourth rank.
This Deputy Director Zuo is at least a fifth-rank official.
"It's Lord Lu." The forest guard saluted respectfully and pointed to a man and a woman on the slope who were being watched by a dozen guards. "That's the Northern Barbarian spy who was captured this afternoon."
"Why is there a girl here?" Lord Lu frowned and walked forward. After scanning the two people, his eyes fell on Chunyan's face. "Is this someone from Dayong?"
Chunyan's identity was quite special, and the forest guard didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Lord Lu, let us talk to you."
The ladies in Beiguan had no rule of not speaking in front of men outside, and they immediately told him everything that had happened in the forest farm.
Except that no one else arrived at the beginning and they did not see the scene where Wei Yunlan and Huang Yuling joined forces to stop the spy, they explained everything else clearly, even the fact that Liang Qiuyi tried to use medicinal powder to lure the wild beasts in the mountains and harm Wei Yunlan.
"This maidservant who was mixed up with the spies from the North Gate was brought to the forest farm by Miss Liang."
"Miss Liang and her family have just arrived in Beiguan. There may be some problems here. You must check it carefully."
"How can you doubt my family?" Liang Qiuyi's cheeks flushed with anger. She stamped her feet and said angrily, "My eldest aunt is the niece of the current empress dowager and has a close relationship with the royal family. How could my family collude with the northern barbarians? Don't throw dirty water on me casually!"
Liang Qiuyi's indignation after being wronged did not seem fake.
This is exactly what Wei Yunlan felt was odd.
The Liang family does have a close relationship with the Queen Mother, and there are no capable people in the family. It is not an exaggeration to say that they rely on the Queen Mother and the royal family for their livelihood. Under such circumstances, how could the Liang family disregard the interests of the Dayong royal family and collude with the Northern Barbarians in private? What benefits would this bring to them?
Besides, it’s not that Wei Yunlan looks down on the Liang family.
But the Liang family alone is nothing worthy of the barbarians' attention, unless it involves the empress dowager behind them.
But the current Empress Dowager is the biological mother of Emperor Xiaoming. Just looking at the word "Xiao" in Emperor Xiaoming's title, you can know that no matter how bad he is to others, he will never be bad to the Empress Dowager.
With an unrivalled status and no shortage of filial sons and grandchildren to serve her, anyone would wish for good things for the Yong Dynasty, except the Empress Dowager. There is no possibility and no reason for this.
Could it be that the Liang family really has nothing to do with the Northern Barbarians, and this is all just a misunderstanding?
Or did the Northern Barbarians want to take advantage of the relationship between the Liang Family and the Queen Mother and deliberately plant spies in the Liang Family?
Wei Yunlan felt that his thoughts were in a tangled mess and he couldn't make sense of them.
There are simply too many doubts and too few clues I have.
Perhaps she could write down all these doubts and have Zou Yun pass them on to Mr. Xiao.
By combining with the Tianshu Pavilion's intelligence network, perhaps these doubts can be solved.
While he was thinking, Lord Lu had already ordered people to put shackles on Chunyan and the Northern Barbarian spy. Chunying's body, Liang Qiuyi who was involved in this matter, and her maid named Chuntao also needed to be taken away by the Military Intelligence Department.
As the first few people to enter the forest farm to search for Liang Qiuyi's whereabouts and organize the hunting in the forest farm, Lord Lu also proposed that Wei Yunlan, Huang Yuling, Tu You, and Qiu Yuehua should all follow him back to the Military Intelligence Department to cooperate with the case investigation.
"This new Deputy Director Zuo is so unreasonable. He actually wants us all to go back with him?" Qiu Yuehua rolled her eyes speechlessly when she saw that Lord Lu did not let her leave even after she brought up her father's name.
Fortunately, this is the northern area with open-minded people, otherwise, if a young lady who has not yet arranged a marriage was brought into the yamen, it would be somewhat detrimental to her reputation.
Huang Yuling remembered that Wei Yunlan came from the capital and was related to the duke's mansion, so she frowned and said, "How about I ask someone to find Ding Sizheng and let you go first? Anyway, when you came here, I had already fought with those two people, and I can't get anything out of you."
"It's okay, I don't care about that."
Wei Yunlan shook his head and thanked Huang Yuling for her kindness.
Huang Yuling and the others were not fussy about trivial matters. So what was there for her, a married woman who was getting divorced, to care about?
Her reputation had long been of little use to her, and she had no intention of marrying again. Even if she did marry, she would never marry someone who looked down on her because of her flawed reputation.
