Young Master Lu Commits Suicide in Fear
Chapter 1292 Young Master Lu Commits Suicide in Fear
Yes, that's very realistic.
Aling said, "In our mountains, claiming credit for others' achievements is a grave crime of deceiving the mountain god, and the whole village will despise you. So what we are saying is definitely the truth, and we would never take someone else's credit for ourselves!"
"Hey," Si Pei laughed, "I'm just following the usual procedure. Come on, let's get started."
Aunt Wen, A Ling, Leader Shan Shan, Ye Xifen, and others took turns recounting their exploits of killing the enemy.
Upon hearing Ye Xifen's account, Si Pei was stunned. The way he looked at Ye Xifen was no longer just looking at a person: "You, you, you are simply a tiger! Even a tiger is not as strong as you. You won three battles in two days, and you won them while injured. Your stamina... I am completely impressed and admire you."
Ye Xifen did not dodge, accepted Si Pei's greeting, and said, "When the enemy was killing people right in front of us, we didn't feel tired at that time, we just wanted to kill all the enemy soldiers..."
"And we're not fighting all the time; we have times to rest, and we have powerful weapons, Wei soldiers, and artisans to help us. Our main task is..."
Ye Xifen spoke in detail, answering Si Pei's questions one by one.
In the distance, Madam Guan said to Qin Xiaomi, "This Master Ye is usually cold, but this time he actually took the initiative to cooperate with Si Pei, as if he wanted to get along with Si Pei."
Qin Xiaomi: "It's rare to find a young scholar willing to help the heroines record their battle achievements so that they can be remembered and made famous. Ye Xifen should naturally treat him well."
Madam Guan shook her head: "No... this Ye Xifen is not simple. You can use her, but you can't get close to her, lest she harm you."
"The people who will serve you closely will still be Zhu Yiqing, Xiao Baiying, and the female assassins I gave you."
"The core of weapon making is to guard against her, as she comes from the prestigious Zhang family."
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "Don't worry, Guan Azu, I understand. I will make good use of Ye Xifen, but I won't let her into my room to serve me personally."
The old man and the young man looked around again, then turned and went back to their tent.
As soon as they entered the large tent where the two lived, Madam Guan pushed Qin Xiaomi onto the bed: "You should rest as soon as possible. Let me handle the matter of building the sharp tools workshop. You just need to focus on the core tasks and not waste any energy on the miscellaneous work."
General Chu has urged the production of sharp weapons several times, so the workshop for these weapons must be built as soon as possible.
Madam Guan took over the matter and used her position to create a barrier for Qin Xiaomi and the military, preventing the government troops from pressuring Qin Xiaomi. She then discussed setting up a weapons workshop together and producing weapons together.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Grandma Guan." Qin Xiaomi just wanted to enjoy life, so she really didn't want to do any work and let Grandma Guan take over the tasks.
But, to be honest, I haven't been able to fall back asleep for even an hour since I woke up.
Seeing this, Madam Guan called to Lady Lian, "Give Xiaomi a massage to help her fall asleep sooner."
"Yes." Lady Lian washed her hands, took out the medicated oil, let Qin Xiaomi smell it, and then used the medicated oil to massage her body.
It hurt and ached a lot, but it also felt great. Qin Xiaomi gradually got sleepy and fell asleep again.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Madam Guan smiled and continued writing about building a workshop for sharp tools and producing them.
As she wrote, Madam Guan shed tears.
"Madam." The female assassin Daxing hurriedly comforted Madam Guan, handing her a handkerchief: "It is a great fortune in life that your master's request has been fulfilled. You will not feel tired."
They no longer call Qin Xiaomi "boss," but "master." Old Madam Guan has officially handed them over to Qin Xiaomi.
Madam Guan nodded: "It is indeed a great blessing in life that my wish has been fulfilled. My old sisters who died young did not live to see their wishes fulfilled... But she is still so young, only fifteen years old, still a child."
Looking at Qin Xiaomi's sleeping face, which was still so innocent, yet she was about to do such a big thing. She was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it, or that she would die on the way, or that she would suffer endless attacks and suffering because of this big thing.
"Today, she can live a life of luxury like a noblewoman in the capital..."
She has grandparents who have been granted official titles and imperial honors, she herself has merits, her uncle is a prince, her aunt will be a princess, her younger cousin will be a future prince, and she has a fiancé who is a recognized general.
With so much support, he could have been enjoying a life of luxury long ago.
"By the way, fiancé, Dalang is a capable man, and he is completely devoted to her. After we old folks are gone, Dalang will definitely protect her until the end."
Although Xiao Mi disliked Da Lang, marriage wasn't about romance; it was about uniting both sides to help each other navigate life smoothly.
So if we keep her in check, marrying that good young man, Dalang, should be fine.
Qin Xiaomi, who was fast asleep, said: There's no need for that, because he might be my mortal enemy!
……
Qin Xiaomi was sleeping soundly, but in the streets and houses near Wuyuan Garden in the capital city, Lu Fenxu was so frightened by a piece of news that he couldn't sleep.
"Report, fellow students, the latest orders from General Chu, King Ye, and the Qi Envoy are to take advantage of the temporary lull in the war to thoroughly investigate the case of students murdering other students. Although you are the victims, this case is of great importance, and we fear that if it is delayed too long, the evidence will be destroyed. Therefore, we must investigate it as soon as possible, find out the truth, and give an explanation to all parties so that we can unite our forces to fight against the foreign enemy!"
"Therefore, the Prince of Ye, the Imperial Envoy of Qi, and Elder Qiong have decided to ask the students to leave the city tomorrow and go to the Juma Formation camp to cooperate with the military authorities in investigating the case."
The messenger, Commander Mei, also said, "The students from the Sifeng Academy have entered the military camp's interrogation room tonight to assist Commander Gan in investigating this major case!"
what!
Young Master Lu Fenxu's vision went black, and he almost fainted.
Zheng Qianming exclaimed in horror, "The military camp's torture chamber? That's where enemy soldiers are interrogated! How could you escort the officers inside? You're trying to murder people!"
Zheng Qianming was also a victim in the student-killing case, but he was a fake victim, just there to make up the numbers.
I originally thought it would be enough to just go along with a charade, but little did I expect that trouble would follow.
"Sir, we want to see you... no, we want to see Magistrate Zheng. The case should be investigated by the yamen, by the judge, and by the magistrate. The Wei army shouldn't be involved. Their mission is to fight the enemy!"
"Zheng Qianming, a student, killed another student. The incident occurred at the Juma Formation camp. There is suspicion that the Wei army framed him. According to the law, this case can be investigated by the Wei army."
Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable and legal for you students to go to the military camp to await interrogation and investigation.
"Students, please do not resist or be afraid. You are the victims. The sooner the case is solved, the sooner you can have peace of mind. Otherwise, if there are still criminals hiding in the city, they may take advantage of the chaos to harm you again, which would be terrible."
The problem is, we're not just victims; we're accomplices!
Zheng Qianming and Lu Fenxu, their faces pale, asked stiffly, "Do we really have to go to the chevaux-de-frise camp? Can't the interrogation be conducted at the government office inside the city?"
“Judge Zheng is very capable of investigating cases. Asking him to investigate this case and question us is enough.”
Judge Zheng, who was not present, said: "Although we all share the same surname, please don't come to me to clean up your messes whenever something goes wrong, okay?"
Get the hell out of here! Don't let all of you surnamed Zheng try to drag me down with you!
Mei Baihu did not answer their questions, but said only, "Please rest well, students. We will come to escort you out of the city to the Juma Formation camp at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow."
After saying this, he led the Wei army away, and thoughtfully closed the door of the house and courtyard for them.
