Chapter 92: Imprisonment
Shen Qingtang deliberately walked into a remote alley, and Li Ziyi followed him in so foolishly, without any vigilance.
Shen Qingtang held her breath and hid in the corner. When Li Ziyi walked in, she knocked her unconscious with a palm.
Li Ziyi didn't even have time to scream.
For safety reasons, Shen Qingtang gave her another sleeping pill.
Shen Chengyu heard the movement from the alley inside and was about to go in to investigate the situation, only to see Shen Qingtang, who had changed back into women's clothes, carrying the unconscious Li Ziyi out.
Shen Chengyu looked at her in surprise.
What was Qingtang going to do?
"Next." Shen Qingtang said lightly, and threw Li Ziyi onto Shen Chengyu.
Shen Chengyu caught the girl quickly. This girl is the daughter of Lord Li. What if she falls and gets hurt?
Shen Qingtang stretched out his hand to him: "Second brother, I need spiritual stones."
"What do you need spiritual stones for?" Shen Chengyu looked puzzled.
Why did he feel that Shen Qingtang's actions were a bit inexplicable?
"Buy a house." Shen Qingtang raised his eyes and glanced at him. "Didn't you say you would cooperate with me? Now it's time for you to contribute."
Shen Chengyu slightly widened his eyes. "Buy a house?"
Do you know how expensive the houses in the imperial city are?
Shen Qingtang whispered: "Do you still want to catch the spy?"
Shen Chengyu: ...
What does buying a house have to do with catching a spy?
After thinking for a moment, Shen Chengyu gritted his teeth and handed Shen Qingtang a storage bag.
Shen Qingtang opened it and took a look, "Not enough, give me some more."
Shen Chengyu: ???
Not enough?
This money is more than enough!
He seriously suspected that Shen Qingtang was deliberately cheating him!
Shen Chengyu reluctantly took out another storage bag, wow, wow, his belongings, today's trip is really a big loss.
Compared to losing money, he thinks it is better to be beaten.
Shen Qingtang weighed the storage bag and looked at Shen Chengyu with a smile: "Thank you, second brother, I will brag about you in front of father."
"Thank you so much." Shen Chengyu smiled stiffly.
"Second brother, you wait here for me, I will be back soon." Shen Qingtang took the money and turned away without mercy.
Leaving now? Leave him here alone again?
Shen Chengyu always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
In fact, Shen Qingtang had bought a house in the imperial city a few days ago with a fake identity. Buying a house requires some formalities, so how could it be bought so quickly? The second emperor was really stupid, and was fooled so easily.
Shen Qingtang never wanted to suffer losses in doing things, so she was reluctant to spend so much money to buy a house. Of course, the money would go to other big enemies.
Anyway, it's better to fool anyone who can be fooled. The second emperor has come to the door, so it would be a waste not to fool him.
Shen Qingtang strolled outside, bought some things, and then returned to the alley to bring Shen Chengyu and the others into the house.
Shen Chengyu looked around the house. It was really nice and worth a lot of money.
"Qingtang, this house was bought with my money, so it should be my house, right? Is it written in my name?"
He couldn't give money and get nothing in return, right?
"Second brother, I use this house to lure out the spies. Do you want other spies to know that you have discovered them?"
"If you want to reveal your identity, then I will transfer the house to your name."
Shen Chengyu:...
So this is the use of the house.
He waved his hands quickly and laughed awkwardly twice: "No, no, I was just kidding."
Along the winding path, Shen Qingtang led Shen Chengyu to a hidden little house.
This room was arranged in a formation, and it was specially used to imprison Li Ziyi.
Shen Qingtang searched Li Ziyi from head to toe, leaving her nothing except her clothes.
"Throw her in." Shen Qingtang pointed to the dark room and said coldly.
Throw her in?
Shen Chengyu didn't know yet that Li Ziyi was the daughter of a spy. He walked into the room and gently put Li Ziyi on the ground.
There was nothing in this room, and the space was so small that it was suffocating.
Shen Chengyu put Li Ziyi down and ran out.
Shen Qingtang took out a few steamed buns that he had just bought on the street and threw them at Li Ziyi's feet.
[Although Li Ziyi's cultivation is not high, she is also better than ordinary people who have no spiritual power. With these steamed buns, she will not starve to death. γ
She closed the door and opened the formations around her. This was a high-level formation, and no one could enter except her.
Shen Qingtang handed a butterfly hairpin of Li Ziyi to Shen Chengyu.
"Second brother, go and throw this hairpin to the guards at the gate of Li's mansion, and ask them to take 50,000 high-quality spirit stones to the small house with a red lantern hanging on the top of Lingcui Mountain at noon three days later to redeem someone."
Shen Chengyu didn't understand why Shen Qingtang did this.
"Qingtang, do you want to blackmail Lord Li?"
"Or is Lord Li a spy?"
"Do we really have to take her to the top of Lingcui Mountain in three days?"
"Is there really a small house with a red lantern hanging on the top of the mountain?"
Shen Qingtang:......
γIt's really troublesome to work with stupid people.
Shen Chengyu was somewhat dissatisfied. Why
did Shen Qingtang always say that he was stupid? She didn't make things clear, nor did she tell him the detailed plan, so he had to guess everything.
"Do you think I went to such great lengths to capture her just for 50,000 high-grade spirit stones?"
Shen Chengyu shook his head. It shouldn't be the case.
Shen Qingtang couldn't directly say that Li Shiyang was a spy.
"Li Shiyang is the chief examiner of this imperial examination. No matter who among the examiners is a spy, he is responsible for presiding over the overall situation. If someone wants to tamper with the test paper, Li Shiyang will definitely know."
"Whether he tampered with it himself or he shielded others, this matter is likely to be related to him."
"As long as we have Li Shiyang in hand, are we afraid that we won't be able to find out the spy?"
Shen Chengyu nodded, as if he understood. He seemed to understand a little.
Since Shen Qingtang said so, Li Shiyang should be a spy.
Shen Qingtang sighed slightly: "As for the small house with red lanterns on the top of Lingcui Mountain, I made it up. The purpose of doing this is to influence Li Shiyang's mentality."
"In order to save his daughter, he will definitely be fully prepared and bring a lot of people with him. I just want him to not be able to find Li Ziyi and make him sleepless all day and night."
"Don't you think about it, would I expose Li Ziyi's location so early?"
"A soldier does not tire of deception, do you understand?"
[I have explained it so clearly, you don't still don't understand, right? ]
[I am tired. γ
"Li Ziyi will be locked up here for the time being, so don't reveal her location."
Shen Qingtang looked at him seriously and warned, "If the spy can't be caught because of your fault, you can expect to be punished."
