Chapter 114 Throw It to Feed the Dogs
After Wen Zi and Shangguan Yao sat down again, she looked at Qin Junyi and said, "Young Marquis, the dead are gone, but the living are always in peace. My master went to Fanlou only after receiving a letter from the Second Young Master."
As she spoke, Wen Zi took out a rolled-up letter from her waist: "The handwriting on the letter is exactly the same as that of the Second Young Master."
Qin Junyi took the letter from Wen Zi's hand and opened it quickly.
Looking at Qin Junchen's handwriting, his eyes deepened.
After a long while, he looked at Shangguan Yao and asked, "Was the letter you and Chen Ge'er received from your brother?"
"Yes, it's my brother's handwriting, so Chen Ge'er and I didn't suspect anything." Shangguan Yao saw that Qin Junyi's expression had relaxed a little and continued, "This is obviously someone's trap. The person behind this must want to harm Chen Ge'er and use my brother and that bitch Bi Huan."
"When the master went to Fanlou, he received news from Xie Lin's spies that he had alerted the enemy. He also said that Xie Lin had discovered the master's whereabouts and intended to report to the authorities in Kaifeng Prefecture."
Wen Zi narrowed her eyes as she spoke, "Xie Lin had only just arrived in Bian Jing a short time ago, and the matter of keeping an eye on Xie Lin was only told to the Second Young Master. So when the Master heard the news, he happened to receive a letter in the Second Young Master's handwriting, and he went straight to Fanlou."
Qin Junyi also calmed down.
"Young Marquis, someone is targeting the Shangguan family." Wen Zi lowered her eyes to look at the tears on Shangguan Yao's face, wiped them away, and then raised her eyes to stare at Qin Junyi: "Let's not talk about whether the totem my master was looking for before is closely related to the Xie family. Just talking about Xie Lin, we know that Xie Lin is involved."
"Plus, your mother's death also occurred at the Xie family's farm. Does the young marquis really think the Xie family has nothing to do with it?"
"This time, the Second Young Master's death has implicated Xie Lin, young marquis. Perhaps your desire to exchange one life for another has just fallen into the trap of the person behind the scenes."
"Yes, Junyi." Shangguan Yao stood up and approached Qin Junyi: "Chen Ge'er is dead, but this is not what my brother wants to see. If my brother dies, wouldn't Chen Ge'er's death be in vain? Maybe the person behind this wants to kill both Chen Ge and my brother."
"Junyi, go talk to the Crown Prince and ask him to release my brother." Shangguan Yao said gently, "Let my brother find out who killed Chen Ge'er, okay?"
Qin Junyi's expression was still gloomy, but not as angry as before.
Shangguan Yao continued, "Chen'er is already dead. No matter how angry you are, it will be useless. Now the only way to avoid falling into the evil scheme of the people behind the scenes is to let my brother go."
Wen Zi also spoke: "Young Marquis, the dead cannot be resurrected, so you should think more about the living. Now that the Second Young Master is gone, my master can be considered your brother."
Behind the left wall of the room is a secret room where you can clearly hear the sounds outside.
At this time, Qin Junyi's voice came from outside.
"Okay, I will report this matter to the Crown Prince and ask him to find a way to release your brother."
Listening to Qin Junyi's words, Qin Junchen, who was sitting against the wall, stared at the blurry outline of Xie Rongying in front of him.
Xie Rongying said in a tone of pleasure, "What do you think? I told you that your brother wouldn't make the decision for you."
Qin Junchen had lost all feeling in his body, only his eyes were still moving.
"Are you trying to say that Shangguan Yao is right?" Xie Rongying continued in a breathless voice, "Look, Shangguan Yao knew she had to do her best to exonerate her brother, but your own brother, after being fooled by a few random words, just listened to them and actually believed that Shangguan Jing was the victim."
"Didn't Shangguan Jing want to kill you?"
"If he really didn't, then why was his first thought to kill you when he thought you put him in danger?"
Qin Junchen's pupils were trembling.
"If he hadn't had murderous intentions towards you, he wouldn't have fallen into my trap at all."
Xie Rongying whispered and chuckled softly, "Chen'er, sister-in-law taught you how to use people's hearts to kill people. Have you learned it?"
"Using Yunniang's weakness to deal with me?" She sneered: "You only know that Yunniang will do anything for her parents, but you forget that Yunniang and I are like sisters. How could she really deal with me?"
"You want to use Bi Huan's ambition for power to help you, but why don't you think that someone like Bi Huan will betray you when she finds greater satisfaction?"
Qin Junchen listened to Xie Rongying's words, his mouth opened slightly, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"I admit that you are somewhat smart, but unfortunately you are too self-righteous and don't take me seriously. I even plotted to take the life of a ruthless character like your mother. Who do you think you are?" Xie Rongying stood up while speaking.
At this time, the conversation outside continued.
"Junyi, my second uncle, third uncle, and uncle will definitely go to Kaifeng Prefecture tomorrow. You must tell the Crown Prince about this as soon as possible." Shangguan Yao's tone was filled with anxiety: "If it's too late, I'm afraid my uncle will go to the prison and take my brother's life."
Shangguan Yao thought of Jiang Jin's anger, and pleaded in her tone: "Jun Yi, please, save my brother."
Qin Junyi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll leave the house right away."
Then the sound of Qin Junyi's footsteps walking out of the room was heard.
After the footsteps fade away.
Wen Zi said: "It seems that this young marquis is still worth your efforts."
Shangguan Yao's tone turned much colder: "If I didn't feel that he was holding me in the palm of his hand, how could I possibly stay in Bianjing?"
"It's better for Qin Junchen to die, so that he won't betray the Shangguan family for profit in the end."
Shangguan Yao said, "Yes, the Shangguan family is walking on thin ice every step of the way. The fewer people who know about this, the better. After this matter is settled, let brother return to Longxi."
Qin Junchen listened to the conversation outside and tears rolled down his eyes.
Xie Rongying glanced at Gu Xun beside her and whispered, "I heard that Liu Wenyang's charity cemetery has many ferocious wild dogs?"
"Yes, Master."
Xie Rongying's eyes fell on Qin Junchen, a smile curled the corners of his lips, and he ordered, "Then let's give our learned and talented Second Young Master of the Yongyi Marquisate to those wild dogs."
Thinking of how Qin Junchen in his previous life was content to enjoy the mansion she had painstakingly built, the curve at the corners of her lips faded.
"If you want him alive, throw him in." Xie Rongying said clearly.
Gu Xun bowed and said respectfully, "Yes, Master."
