Chapter 675: My people settle accounts after the fall
"Master Hou, this is..."
Not long after the time passed, there was another person in Xichun's room. It was Lu Yi who was sent out by Jia Qi to investigate the happenings in the capital.
She looked at the girl in the room with a strange look.
At this time, Jia Qi was no longer the patient who couldn't even move before. Even she was no different from a child in front of Jia Qi, but such a girl with no power to bind a chicken stood in front of Jia Qi.
In front of me...
Seeing that Lu Yi didn't seem at all surprised by Jia Qi's existence, Ping'er knew that her previous guess was true, but now, it was too late.
The person who came was none other than Xichun's personal maid. She remembered that her name should be Lu Yi. Speaking of which, she was sent by the Hou Mansion.
"It's a coincidence!"
Jia Qi shook his head. Judging from Ping'er's reaction, it was not so much a calculation to uncover his whereabouts, it was probably just a coincidence.
"Sir, I remember that this girl is Wang Xifeng's maid. The current situation is delicate, do you need..."
Lu Yi glanced at Ping'er and felt a little hesitant, but finally confirmed it.
Although I don't know how long it has been since Ping'er came here, I'm sure it won't be long. After all, I left in just a stick of incense, and when I came back, Jia Qi had already started a confrontation with this girl.
If Jia Qi had wanted to directly solve the future troubles, this girl would have completely disappeared by now. However, right now, this girl is still standing here well, which shows that Jia Qi does not have much murderous intention in his heart.
Perhaps after understanding Lu Yi's words, Ping'er subconsciously took two steps back. But at this time, she didn't say anything. One thing she knew very well was that Jia Qi was determined and would not change himself because of other people's begging for mercy and persuasion.
If you make a decision yourself, it may not be useful if you say it yourself. Silence is golden.
"It's my person."
Jia Qi's eyes flickered twice. Ping'er understood Lu Yi's words, but he didn't understand. Then he thought about it and replied again.
Lu Yi was stunned, when did this happen?
She looked at Ping'er with some disbelief, only to see Ping'er's delicate little face suddenly turned red, with two red clouds appearing on her cheeks.
"Ping'er came to look for me before because of Wang Xifeng's incident."
Jia Qi didn't say much, he just stopped there.
Seeing that Jia Qi had no murderous intention, Ping'er could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Originally, she was surprised and happy to see Jia Qi. At this time, people in the capital were panicking, and Jia's mansion was on the verge of collapse. Faced with the sudden appearance of King Dongping, whether it was
Both the Jia family and the capital are in great need of a Dinghai needle. In her mind, Jia Qi is the Dinghai needle that can suppress everything.
Before Lu Yi spoke, Ping'er actually didn't think about her own safety. She never believed that Jia Qi would be such a ruthless executioner, but Lu Yi's words made her feel frightened. No matter what Jia Qi's plans were,
, His whereabouts are not suitable to be exposed at the moment, and only dead people are the best way to keep it secret, she knows this.
"Ping'er, thank you Lord Marquis for not killing me."
Lu Yi looked at the other party's calm and calm look, and she looked at this girl with a high regard in her heart. She was not joking, many people may not behave as well as the girl in front of her at this time.
Of course, this was also the scene when Ping'er saw Jia Qi before Lu Yi saw it. Ping'er's performance before was not as good as it is now.
"Okay, you go back first! My whereabouts need to be kept secret. Do you know what you should say and what you should not say?"
Jia Qi gave Ping'er a final thought and decided to let Ping'er go back first. Now his consciousness was able to envelope the two kingdoms' palaces. If Ping'er really wanted to say something, he could shut her up before the other party spoke.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hou, what should you say? What should you not say? Ping'er knows it well."
"If grandma asked about it later, I would tell her that Miss Xichun had gone out and was not in the yard. I waited for a while, but unfortunately Miss Chun didn't come back, so I came back first."
Ping'er's words were reasonable and had no loopholes. Jia Qi also knew that the girl in front of him was thoughtful and considerate, so he waved his hand to indicate that she could go back first.
Ping'er bent down, bowed, and slowly exhaled. It could be seen that Ping'er was still very nervous at this time, but he didn't show it.
After opening the door, Ping'er's expression returned to normal, but there was a glimmer of light in her eyes. The girl was uneasy when she came. After all, who can have a safe place to live in the midst of the storm?
But when she left, the girl was calm and relaxed, and her mood was unexpectedly relaxed. It seemed that the gloom that had enveloped her heart suddenly dissipated, and the sky was filled with light again.
"Squeak!"
Following the sound of the door closing, Lu Yi finally shook her head gently.
Jia Qi roughly guessed Lu Yi's thoughts and shook his head.
"Okay, after all, we are one of our own, so don't be so murderous!"
The corner of Lu Yi's mouth twitched. Was she serious about murder? Compared with the other party, she felt that she was harmless.
"Tell me, what's going on outside?"
Then, Jia Qi asked again.
Lu Yi stood there and thought for a while before replying: "It's not good. Although the capital is now under martial law, there are still many people who want to leave in the capital. I took a few cursory glances on the street just now.
There were several carriages hurriedly heading towards the north gate. There were not many people accompanying them, only the coachman and a boy. As for the number of people in the carriages, it is not yet certain, but they should be leaving Beijing."
At this special moment, the more people you take with you, the harder it is to take action. On the contrary, only those with fewer people are those who really plan to leave Beijing.
"Didn't the palace issue an order to seal the city?"
In ancient siege battles, the city would usually be sealed off a few days in advance. What was better was that only people could enter but not leave. The purpose was to prevent the news from leaking out.
Although Emperor Mingkang had never been to the battlefield, he should have had such measures and awareness.
Lu Yi frowned and replied uncertainly: "It must have been an order. What I'm wondering about is how those people got through?"
Jia Qi stood in the room and pondered for a moment, thinking deeply in his heart. It was already this time. If he wanted to leave, he would definitely need to inform the general who was guarding the city. That person was a close confidant of the emperor. Without Emperor Mingkang's permission,
He estimated that the other party would not dare to let those people out of the city.
If that's the case, then these people's departure from the city should have been ordered by Emperor Mingkang. As for what he wanted to do? Jia Qi can't be sure yet. He only has a simple guess, which is nothing more than settling accounts after the fall.
Emperor Mingkang could do such a thing...
"By the way, it seems that the Lin Mansion's housekeeper and Miss Miaoyu are here..."
