Chapter 1083 Exchange (2)
Ye Ke opened the curtain, looked out from the carriage, and scolded him, "What are you doing here? Why don't you take me to Babao Street?"
The driver glanced at him, and Ye Ke finally saw clearly that this driver was much stronger than the average man. Even the average driver, who needed to work hard physically, was not as tall and strong as this man. He felt a vague sense of unease in his heart, and could not help but dare not yell. Although he was also a young man, he was not as tall or strong as this man, and he was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage if they fought.
The driver walked around behind the horse, took out something from his arms, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly stabbed it into the horse's buttocks!
The horse was suddenly startled, raised its hooves and ran forward!
Ye Ke had never expected the coachman to do this so suddenly. The horse suddenly ran forward, and he was thrown backwards in the carriage, almost unconscious. With a panic in his heart, Ye Ke suddenly realized something and lifted the curtain in front of the carriage to look forward.
The last thing Ye Ke saw was a bottomless abyss and densely packed overlapping branches.
The abyss seemed to be bottomless. Even if the carriage rushed down in pieces, no sound of the water hitting the ground could be heard.
The night covered the view for a moment, and only the wreckage of the carriage was visible on the edge of the cliff.
After a while, there was a rustling sound of shoes stepping on dead leaves, and a moment later, two pieces of clothing appeared beside the carriage.
No one heard Ye Ke’s last shrill “Sister”.
…
Shen Miao was writing furiously in the study.
She wrote quickly and densely, her hands moving almost instinctively and subconsciously. Her wrists had not stopped since she locked herself in the study.
Mo Qing stood quietly behind her. Although he didn't know what she was doing, he didn't say a word, watching her write rapidly. It seemed that there were not only words, but also some maps. After Shen Miao finished writing a page, she asked Mo Qing to use the residual heat of the lantern to quickly dry the paper so that the handwriting would not be so wet. She frowned at times, and sometimes thought deeply, and seemed to be very serious.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Mo Qing let the person in, but he was panting.
Cong Yang said, "I, Tie Yi, and I followed Ye Mei and her brother. We parted ways at a corner in the city. Tie Yi followed Ye Mei, and I followed Ye Ke. Ye Ke's coachman drove the carriage deep into the mountains and led Ye Ke to a cliff. He then spooked the horses, causing the carriage to fall off the cliff. Ye Ke had no chance of survival."
"Cliff?" Mo Qing was stunned, somewhat puzzled: "Who is that driver? What grudge does he have with Ye Ke?"
Cong Yang wiped his nose and said, "I was in such a hurry to report back that I didn't care what happened to the driver. Now that Ye Ke is dead, I've returned."
“No need to check, the driver is Ye Mei’s man.” Shen Miao said.
"Ye Mei?" Cong Yang was stunned. "Ye Mei asked the driver to kill Ye Ke? But Ye Ke is her brother. Besides, if she wanted to kill him, why did she take him with her when she escaped?"
"Of course, they need a target when escaping. Ye Ke is Ye Mei's biological brother, so he's the perfect target. I think the driver didn't just kill Ye Ke. He also put Ye Mei and Ye Ke's clothes on the cliff, making people think that they both fell off the cliff and died."
Mo Qing and Cong Yang were stunned at first when they heard this, but then they suddenly understood.
Ye Mei should have planned a retreat from the start, but she feared being chased like a stray dog, certain to be caught one day. It would be better to let the world believe she was dead. Even the soldiers, no matter how free, wouldn't chase a dead person. Ye Ke was her brother, and common sense would have assumed she'd fled with him. Seeing the remains of her brother's and Ye Mei's clothes at the cliff, the soldiers, having personally followed her brother, would have assumed Ye Mei was also in the carriage. Naturally, they'd assume the siblings had strayed off the cliff and fallen to their deaths.
