All the breakthroughs still lie with Zheng Qi.
"Do you have any idea about the spy Zheng Qi mentioned?" Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice.
He Jingheng shook his head.
Many things that happened five years ago are difficult to verify. As for the spy, he was even able to grasp the marching route, which shows that his position in the army is extraordinary.
The wartime geomancy map has been kept in the study of the palace. Apart from my father, I am the only one who can access it. Who on earth could have copied a wartime geomancy map right under their noses?
Whenever he thought about these things, he got a terrible headache.
He Jingheng rubbed his brows. At this moment, Yunqi's anxious voice came: "녡떚, 녡떚 Concubine."
"when?"
Yunqi walked into the study room, holding a dagger in his hand: "There is a letter on the dagger. When I chased him out, he was nowhere to be found."
He Jingheng unfolded the letter and said in a deep voice, "It's from Akabane Villa."
His eyes fell on the handle of the dagger, and he saw a tiny red feather pattern on it.
"Akabane Villa is a place where you can get away from it." He Jingheng whispered, "If he can be caught by you, all his efforts in learning Kung Fu will be in vain."
Speaking of Chiyu Villa, Shang Ruoyi just happened to have something to ask him.
"Answer me truthfully, did you massacre the whole family back then?"
He Jingheng was so amused that he cried, "We in the Ding Kingdom have been at war for years, and we don't even have a home to return to. Why would we rush over to slaughter their entire family?"
"really?"
"I swear on the reputation of the Dingguo Palace for a hundred years. You should believe it now, right?" He Jingheng was quite helpless: "Every battle of the Dingguo Palace is justified. We will never kill innocent people. You even let go of babies in swaddling clothes. Do you think this is my style?"
Shang Ruoyi's last bit of doubt was dispelled, she picked up the pen and said to He Jingheng beside her: "What are you looking at? Pen and ink are waiting for you."
He Jingheng was stunned for a moment, then recovered and went to grind the ink stick with a smile.
Yunqixiao, who was standing opposite, turned around and left very skillfully, and closed the door considerately. They wanted to be humble, as it was better to be seen by others.
Shang Ruoyi had just finished writing her reply when she suddenly remembered what Yingxue had said, that the Dingguo Palace card had fallen into the Ling family. If that card was real, did it mean that someone from Dingguo Palace was really involved? Who else went to the Ling family?
The two looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts.
Perhaps, this person is the spy hidden in the mansion.
On the second night, in a farm on the outskirts of the city, Ling Feng was making tea. He was the only one in the huge courtyard, and the aroma of tea filled his nose.
"Since you're here, why are you still hiding in the dark?"
Shang Ruoyi flew down, Ling Feng's eyes fell on her, and he smiled softly: "I didn't expect you to really come."
"You threw the letter into the yard, why would I come?" She sat straight on the chair. Ling Feng poured her a cup of tea. Shang Ruoyi took a sip without blinking. It was warm and the coldness in her body was instantly dispelled.
"Are you afraid that I will poison you?"
"Haha, have you forgotten what I am best at?" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Besides, you and I have known each other for a while, I believe you will do this kind of thing."
Ling Feng chuckled: "How do you know that I would want to take revenge and kill people?"
Shang Ruoyi looked at him and said slowly and firmly: "Because you are not sure whether your Ling family was wiped out by the Dingguo Palace, and the poison in Manager Qian's body has not been cured yet!"
"I didn't expect you would say that."
"The poison in Shopkeeper Qian's body is hard to cure." She threw him a pill and said, "Just mix it with snow water and take it."
"Thank you very much."
"I must thank you." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I was the one who poisoned you. No one can solve the problem except me. But if it happens again, I will definitely show mercy. You should know that I have dozens of kinds of poisons that kill with one blow."
Ling Feng raised the teacup and drank it all: "Let's use tea instead of wine."
"Tell me about your Ling family's affairs."
Speaking of this, Ling Feng sighed, "It's been many years since the incident. The Ling family was once a prosperous family that almost monopolized all the fabric industries in Jiangnan. I was young at that time, and I didn't know why the family was wiped out. I was away from home that year, and when I returned home, no one in the family was alive. Not only people, but also dogs were killed. At the scene, I found this." She took out a black card and put it on the table: "I dared to speak out, so Butler Qian took me to hide everywhere, for fear that people would find out that there were descendants of the Ling family living here."
Shang Ruoyi picked up the card, looked at it several times, and then took out an identical one and put it together.
The two cards are exactly the same in style and material.
If she was wrong, this must be the work of the spy.
Seeing her heavy face, Ling Feng whispered: "I originally wanted to use you, but in order to avenge the hundreds of people in the Ling family, I have to do this."
Shang Ruoyi didn't look at him, but looked at the cards in her hand with an expression of disbelief.
How, how is this possible?
Noticing that she looked very unhappy, Ling Feng frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"How could it be him?"
"What?"
Shang Ruoyi retracted her gaze and suddenly remembered what He Jingheng said to her before she left.
She said quickly: "I have something else to do, I'll leave first."
Just as she was about to leave, Ling Feng grabbed her and said, "Where are you going?"
Shang Ruoyi looked at him: "Do you want to come with me?"
At this time, the He family.
He Jingheng was discussing matters with He Zhiyuan in the study.
"Uncle San, what on earth brings you here so late?"
He looked at the sky outside and said anxiously, "I've been here for almost half an hour, and you haven't said anything serious yet."
He Zhiyuan said softly: "Jingheng, where is Ruoyi?"
"She has something to do and is out."
"She's a girl, it's so unsafe for her to go out so late."
"Uncle San, I was originally going to go out with her. If you said you had something important to tell me, I would have gone with her."
Hearing this, He Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly.
"Uncle San, what's the matter?"
"What's the matter? I heard that Lord Zheng Qi was kidnapped by snow bandits. My uncle had some friendship with him when he was an official in the court, so I wanted to ask if you can rescue him."
He Jingheng's eyes flickered when he heard this.
"Uncle San, why have I never heard you mention being on good terms with the Zheng family?"
He Zhiyuan smiled and said somewhat embarrassedly: "This is because Zheng Qi once offended my eldest brother, how dare I make it public?"
"I see." He Jingheng nodded: "Who did Uncle San hear about the abduction of Lord Zheng?"
