Chapter 380 Reward
"Ajing, you don't know how bad this guy is!" Zhu Qingyan couldn't help but feel angry and anxious when he saw Murong Jing's hesitation.
Murong Jing patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Just talk slowly. I'm listening."
Zhu Qingyan pointed at Gongsun Yushu and said, "He...ah, it's hard to describe his deeds in words! You will know when you meet him."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Lan, who nodded and ordered someone to bring Zhou Yang and Liao Xing up.
Murong Jing felt a little strange when she saw these two people.
"County Magistrate Liao, why are you here?" Her tone was relatively gentle. After all, County Magistrate Liao had left a good impression on her last time and was considered a good official.
She then recognized Zhou Yang and said in surprise:
"You...are the owner of the tea shop? Shouldn't you be in jail?"
Murong Jing was a little confused, "Young Master, what's going on?"
Zhu Qingyan glared at Zhou Yang on the ground, "Manager Zhou, Princess Ningyue is asking you a question!"
When Zhou Yang was caught in the inn before, he had already confessed his dealings with Liao Xing and Gongsun Yushu. There was no need to hide it now, and he didn't dare to act rashly in front of Princess Ning Yue.
So he told him everything.
Including the last time at Yongye Tea House, when he had a "quarrel" with Qian Liu from the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion, it was all a trap set up by the three of them in advance, and done for Murong Jing and the people of Yunzhou City to see.
After listening to this, Murong Jing was silent for a long time and looked at Gongsun Yushu.
"Is what he said true?"
Just one sentence revealed a chilling murderous intent.
Gongsun Yushu didn't dare to respond, but his expression said it all.
"Lie to me."
Murong Jing said these two words expressionlessly.
There was a hint of grievance in his tone.
Zhu Qingyan's heart tightened, and he immediately comforted her: "Ah Jing, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. You are upright and honest in your work, and you can't guard against being deliberately framed by such a villain."
Murong Jing turned to look at her, and this time her grievance was even more obvious.
"Young Master, what should I do? My father won't let me kill anyone in the city..."
She glanced at the spear in her hand with some regret.
If this gun is fired, blood will be seen.
It’s a pity that I didn’t bring a long whip on this trip.
Murong Jing raised her hand, and eleven Silver Dragon Cavalrymen stood behind her in an orderly manner.
"Brothers, unload your guns!"
As soon as Murong Jing finished speaking, eleven spears were placed on the ground, still neatly arranged.
In the entire Northern Frontier Camp, no one would question Princess Ning Yue's orders.
Gongsun Yushu looked at all this and was confused at first, then he had an ominous premonition.
The instinct for survival made him want to run away.
But...how could he possibly outrun these cavalrymen?
Murong Jing's cold eyes froze him in place like a sharp arrow, and he only heard Murong Jing speak in a cold voice.
"This person is a double-faced person, colluding with officials and bringing disaster to the people."
"As a reward."
Gongsun Yushu fell to the ground in horror, looking at the people who surrounded him, and felt a wetness in his crotch.
Let alone hand-to-hand combat, these people coming out of the military camp can kill me with just one punch!
“Princess, please spare me. Princess, please spare me, Princess!!!” Gongsun Yushu’s cries echoed throughout the prefectural government office.
"Little Princess, wait a minute."
Zhu Lan suddenly said, "I have something to ask him."
Murong Jing said, "Don't worry, let's talk about it after the fight. We'll leave him some time to breathe."
So Zhu Lan didn't say anything more.
In the following time, the screams of Gongsun Yushu, Liao Xing and Zhou Yang came one after another.
Even Ding Wangyuan couldn't bear to listen anymore.
But I don't want to persuade.
How can it be so easily repaid for the suffering these guys have brought to the people of Yunzhou?
"Reporting to the princess, I only have one breath left."
The Silver Dragon Cavalry stopped and completed their mission.
"Return to the team."
"yes!"
Only then did Murong Jing nod to Zhu Lan.
Zhu Lan walked up to Gongsun Yushu and saw that he was dirty, bleeding from his nose, and one of his teeth seemed to have been knocked out. He couldn't help but look back at Murong Jing.
"Princess, he is the son of the Earl of Ning'an after all. If he gets beaten like this...will there be trouble at the Earl's Mansion?"
"Trouble?" Murong Jing sneered.
"I'll still beat him even if his father comes."
Zhu Lan stood in front of Gongsun Yushu and asked him with his head down:
"Where is Gong Shaoren?"
Gongsun Yushu shook his head with dull eyes and said he didn't know.
Zhu Lan didn't know whether Gongsun Yushu was stunned or just being stubborn, so he frowned and asked:
"You don't know? It seems that you think the reward from the princess is not enough, then..."
"I know, I know! I know!!!" Gongsun Yushu cried out and named a place which was not far from here.
Zhu Lan immediately ordered people to look for Gong Shao.
"Is he okay?"
"He should...he should be alive. I didn't order anyone to kill him." Gongsun Yushu said timidly.
Zhu Lan's face turned a little colder and he looked at Gongsun Yushu with disgust.
This kind of person deserves no pity to die!
Soon, Gong Shao was brought back, covered in blood and dying.
Although his injuries were less serious than those of his father Gong Yuanliang, his leg bones were not broken.
But on the left side of his originally handsome face, there was a shocking triangular scar, which looked extremely hideous.
Zhu Lan's heart trembled.
That is... the scar left by the branding iron, which can never be erased in this lifetime.
Gong Shao's body was covered with whip marks and he could no longer speak. Zhu Lan quickly had someone take him down and give him a proper rest.
Murong Jing frowned and said that she would ask the best doctor in the Northern Frontier Camp who was good at treating external injuries to come and help him treat his injuries.
After settling Gong Shao, Zhu Lan looked at Gongsun Yushu again.
"Little Princess, I have something to ask him alone."
Murong Jing nodded and let her do as she pleased.
Zhu Lan gave Zhu Qingyan a look, as if asking her if she wanted to come.
Zhu Qingyan lowered his head and rubbed the ground with his toes without saying anything.
The overall situation has been decided, and Zhu Lan can handle the questioning on his own anyway.
I haven't seen Jing for such a long time, and we are about to part again. I have a lot to say to her.
Zhu Lan didn't say anything else. He asked Gongsun Yushu to get up from the ground and follow him into the house.
"Young uncle."
Zhu Lan closed the door and motioned Gongsun Yushu to sit down.
Gongsun Yushu staggered to sit down, wiped the blood from his nose with his sleeve, and said with a sad face:
"I know. I just told you. Please let me go..."
Zhu Lan poured himself a cup of tea and said calmly:
"When I was interrogating Zhou Yang earlier, I heard him talk about the last time you met."
"At the banquet, you mentioned His Royal Highness Prince Qi, and the young master casually said the first sentence... The Third Prince wants to listen to you?"
"Unfortunately, I am a very curious person. I really want to know what kind of leverage or secrets His Royal Highness Prince Qi has in the hands of your Ning'an Marquis' Mansion."
Zhu Lan suddenly raised his eyes, fixed his gaze on Gongsun Yushu's face, not missing a single change in his expression, and asked the last question -
"Is that secret related to the Crown Prince's background?"
