The next day, kingfishers were chirping softly, there was no smoke rising from cooking nearby, and everything was peaceful.
She could even hear the sound of the rolling waves not far away. Jin Cai let out a sigh of relief and finally calmed down. She asked, "Girl, are those bandits crazy? Why are they suddenly fighting each other?"
Shen Qingqiu said, "I lied to the bandit leader and told him that his wife was raped by his good brother. I accidentally witnessed this and asked his brother to strangle her to death. Then the bandits started fighting among themselves. Although the robbers were brave, they suffered heavy casualties when fighting each other. Naturally, we were the ones who benefited."
Jin Cai thought she could hear something, so she widened her eyes and said, "Girl, are you lying to me? The bandits are not stupid, will they believe you if you say that?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Shen Qingqiu said, "It depends on who is saying it and how they are saying it."
Shen Qingqiu was able to become the number one killer safely, not only because of his martial arts, but also because of his appropriate use of psychological hints, and his observation of the Third Master, which made it easy for him to use the information on the Third Master. The Third Master's name was not difficult to find out, as there was a painting with his signature on the back of his hand.
Unfortunately, she had set him into a trap step by step, and he didn't understand it for a moment.
"But how do you know that his mother was killed by his brothers? And his son was abducted by his brothers?" Jin Cai just couldn't believe it.
Shen Qingqiu smiled, "Of course I lied to him." She said, "True and false, when what I said before was true, as long as my subsequent statements were not outrageous and consistent with his daily life rules, he would not doubt whether what I said was true or false."
But Jin Cai's brain was very complicated, and she still didn't understand. "Then how did you know that his wife was raped by his brother? And how did you know that he was studying? Girl, have you really been opened by a god? Then can you see my dead parents?" Jin Cai asked again.
Shen Qingqiu looked at her with disdain, "You'd better not rush to marry Tu Jiucheng, go and have your brain checked when you have time." Shen Qingqiu tapped his forehead, "I don't know how his wife died at all, but he already believed me at that time, especially when he went out and saw his mother's silver ring being taken out by that man, and that man looked guilty, so of course he believed me."
Shen Qingqiu exhaled, "Aunt, you said you can't tell fortunes, how did you know he had a silver ring?!"
Shen Qingqiu was getting more and more disgusted, "Of course I saw it with my own eyes, otherwise how could I have clairvoyance?" It was hard to convince this person, Shen Qingqiu didn't want to bother with him anymore, but Jin Cai kept pestering him, "But why did that bandit always wear that ring, and what's going on with the Third Master's wife?"
"I……"
“Beast!” An axe came flying at them, startling both of them. Fortunately, Shen Qingqiu dodged in time, so only a strand of hair was chopped off.
It turned out to be a strange man with an axe in his hand. He would have chopped more if he hadn't been stopped by the people behind him.
"What are you doing?!" Jin Cai immediately protected her aunt behind her.
"Daniu, stop it, this is my benefactor--" It turned out to be the husband who was abducted with his wife. Last night, he watched his wife being insulted. Now his eyes were red with anger. He pushed his wife away and said arrogantly, "You obviously have the ability to kill so many bandits, why didn't you save her when she was insulted--
“Hehehe——” Shen Qingqiu couldn’t help laughing, “Am I your mother? I have to feed you when you eat.”
Jin Cai stared at her girl with wide eyes, don't add fuel to the fire at this time!
"You can't protect your own wife, yet you rely on a woman to sacrifice her life to protect you. Now you come to question another weak woman. Are you a useless person?"
The useless man Daniu was speechless after just a few words. Later, Shen Qingqiu said to Daniu's wife, "I think your husband is a useless man. He can't survive in a woman's crotch. Not only did he shrink and not protect you when you were in danger, but now that you are free from Weifang, he is actually causing trouble for you. He is worse than a woman. You might as well follow me instead of him--" That's all fine. The key point is that Daniu's wife, who was originally holding Daniu and crying, now let go of Daniu's arm.
Standing silently behind Shen Qingqiu.
Even clay figures have tempers. Daniu's wife wiped her tears and said, "You dislike me anyway. We don't have children and there's nothing to worry about. From now on, you go your way and I go mine..." Daniu was stunned. He felt that his wife had let him down. She had lost her virginity and now she should beg for his forgiveness. Why did she leave now?
"Quick, what do you mean?"
"Are you deaf too?" Shen Qingqiu said, "It means that your woman doesn't want you anymore."
Shen Qingqiu really had never seen such a lowly person. If she had to make a scene, then don't blame herself. After all, she, the Lord of Kangle Country, couldn't afford to support a woman. "Jin Cai, register her under my name. After all, my Lord of Country's salary is not afraid of supporting one more person."
Jin Cai agreed.
——
The distant mountains are reflected by green trees, and the whole way is full of vitality.
A fair-skinned servant in a black robe held a water bag in his hand and ran towards the carriage under the scorching sun. As soon as he approached the carriage, a cold wind blew in. The servant exhaled lightly and lifted the curtain, "It's hot, master, drink some water first, let's find a place to stay."
"Aren't you going to continue on your journey..." A gentle male voice came from inside.
"We are almost there," the servant said in a lower voice, and looked around, "Master, this is not safe."
Gu Yanwei raised his eyes. It was hot at this time and he had loosened his clothes. Ordinary people would always look a little messy, but he looked like a fairy in the mountains. Especially with his beautiful face, he seemed noble and unattainable. He lowered his eyes slightly, and nodded the book in his hand on the boy's head, "You acted on your own again?"
The servant begged for mercy again and again, "Master, please forgive me. The emperor only asked you to suppress the bandits, but didn't ask you to go in person. If you don't skin me alive, the emperor will have to tear me apart, right?" Gu Yanwei shook his head. Although he personally proposed to suppress the bandits, he actually didn't take the gang of bandits on the mountain behind Bailong Temple seriously.
They are just a mob.
The bigger reason why he was willing to take on this task was that he wanted to remove the obstacles for her. Those bandits should never, ever want to hurt her just to avenge Liu Dayong.
Gu Yanwei looked at the hillside all over the mountain. He had his own way to deal with all the bandits on the mountain without any effort. But when his mind was spinning rapidly, he saw a familiar figure. It was Shen Qingqiu waving at him. The eunuch beside him was also stunned, "Could it be that my eyes are blurry? How come I seem to see Lord Kangle?"
Before he could think about it, Shen Qingqiu had already arrived.
"What happened?" Gu Yanwei frowned immediately.
Shen Qingqiu smiled, "Yesterday when I heard you were going to suppress the bandits, I didn't take it seriously, but today I didn't expect that I would suppress the bandits for you first. You have to thank me."
"What?" Gu Yanwei frowned.
"Let's go up and take a look," she said.
The young eunuch shook his head quickly, "Lord Kangle, there are only me and your Highness, and there are bandits up there!"
Shen Qingqiu said, "If there are still bandits, how can I come down so safely?" Seeing her confident look, the eunuch followed her up with doubt. But before they reached the bandit's den, a strong smell of blood came over, and when they looked inside, the eunuch immediately covered his eyes with his hands, "Oh my god!"
The room was filled with corpses of all kinds, lying crosswise, just like purgatory.
The young eunuch was so frightened that he dared not move forward, but Gu Yanwei had no expression on his face. Instead, he walked forward, squatted down in front of a corpse, and then even stretched out his hand to look at the corpse.
"Ninth Prince, don't touch these dirty things!"
But how could Gu Yanwei listen to him? He immediately looked at the bandit's face and found that he was also on the wanted list of mortals in the Dali Temple. He was indeed the bandit behind the Bailong Temple mountain.
"What's going on?" He looked at Shen Qingqiu and asked again.
Shen Qingqiu said: “I think it’s to avenge Liu Dayong. They are so blind that they want to kidnap me.” Don’t you see who you have offended?
If an ordinary person said this, it would only make people laugh, but the one who said this was Shen Qingqiu, especially with the scene of corpses strewn all over the ground in front of him, the little eunuch didn't think she was bragging at all.
“Your Highness, don’t involve me in this matter—” Shen Qingqiu said: “I’m afraid my mother will worry.”
"Lord Kangle, how can we say that? It's all your credit that we suppressed the bandits!" the young eunuch said hurriedly.
But Gu Yanwei glared at him, and he quickly shut up and stopped talking.
“Don’t worry, I will clean up the mess for you.” Shen Qingqiu nodded, and then said: “Those women are frightened. If the Dali Temple asks about it, it’s better not to disturb them.” At this point Shen Qingqiu couldn’t help but think of the scene in the daytime. It was obvious that the woman didn’t want to be humiliated, but her husband insisted on accusing her.
As a woman herself, Shen Qingqiu was naturally unhappy.
But she also became more aware of the oppression of women in this era. Ping An asked those women to go down and conceal the fact that they were kidnapped by the kidnappers. This was the greatest help to them.
Gu Yanwei nodded. He had seen clearly from the beginning that beneath her cold appearance, she actually had a softer heart than anyone else.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Gu Yanwei's face flashed a cold look, which disappeared after a moment. He asked Shen Qingqiu again, "Have you ever thought about where these bandits got the time to rest in the palace? You said that you were kidnapped at the palace gate, which is even more strange. At that time, there should be guards at the palace gate."
