After the holy decree of 800 li was urgently sent to Suzhou, Li Hongzhang received the news on the same day.Sitting in the study with a gloomy face and a creaky fist, Zhou Fu hesitated on the side, but still admonished, "Dashuai, this matter is without further ado, if they are brought to the capital for trial, then we will be considered to be at the end." ”"What are you afraid of, if something happens to the old man, he Qiao Zhiqing can get out of it.Suzhou's new policy, which is not a major crime against the ancestral system. ”Li Hongzhang scolded loudly and stood up with a heavy slap on the desk.He is bent on keeping up with the way of the sage, pampering and not being shocked, and watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; Go and stay unintentionally, wandering with the clouds outside the sky.But at this time, he lost his temper."
Adults must understand that we are different from Qiao Zhiqing.Qiao Zhiqing is anti-hearted, and it is clear that he is not on the same road as the court.And you are different, you have the court in your heart.If the court wants to take Qiao Zhiqing's crime, Qiao Zhiqing will definitely rebel, but you will still be loyal to the court.Therefore, we can't break the net with Qiao Zhiqing in this matter, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run. ”Zhou Fu gave him relief on the side, he knew that Li Hongzhang would definitely swallow this sullen breath, otherwise he would not be Li Hongzhang."
What do you say, now that we have torn our faces with Qiao Zhiqing, he will naturally not be soft on us."
Li Hongzhang took a deep breath, and sure enough, his complexion returned to calm, and he sat down calmly."
My lord, I'm afraid I forgot, we just captured a female assassin a few days ago, and our subordinates have already found out that she is one of the perpetrators of the murder in the foreign concession.And judging from the confessions of eyewitnesses, this matter must have a great relationship with Qiao Zhiqing.According to his subordinates, the weapons used by the murderer are rare in the world, and they are only equipped with the Qing Army.We might as well bring the female murderer up for retrial, if she is really familiar with Qiao Zhiqing, according to Qiao Zhiqing's character, he will naturally not sit idly by, just so we can use this woman as a bargaining chip and let Qiao Zhiqing wipe that incident clean.If they have nothing to do with each other, then we will fight to the death with Qiao Zhiqing to get rid of these calamities, in short, we can't let them go to the capital alive to be tried. ”Zhou Fu showed a gloomy smile, as if everything was under control."
Okay, you go and implement this matter as soon as possible, it's best for Qiao Zhiqing to solve it himself.If these people died in no apparent terms, the court would be even more suspicious of the old man.If Qiao Zhiqing fanned the flames again at this time, the old man would be speechless. ”Li Hongzhang reminded him, leaned on the back of the chair a little tiredly, closed his eyes and recuperated, and waved his hand to signal Zhou Fu to retreat.Zhou Fu and the servants of the Shanghai County Ya Da Jail stopped in front of the door of a women's prison, the female prisoner was wearing a gray cloth prison uniform, her body was covered with blood marks from the whip, her cloak was scattered with shackles, and she was leaning weakly against the wall and dying.But Rao is like this, and he can't hide her beautiful face and toned and fair figure.After the official opened the cell door, Zhou Fu walked in with his sleeve over his nose in disgust."
Zhou Xiuying, don't you still admit your guilt" Zhou Fu asked coldly."
You lackeys who recognize thieves as fathers, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go."
Zhou Xiuying clicked her lips, coughed a few times, gritted her teeth and paused word by word."
Although you are a woman, you are a good man in the face of the big punishment, and the old man is sorry for you in his heart.I only sigh at your youthful beauty, but you turned into dust early, don't you feel a pity yourself" Zhou Fu sighed and ordered the official to open the shackles around Zhou Xiuying's neck.Zhou Xiuying suddenly straightened her waist relaxedly, looked at Zhou Fu coldly and replied, "I just hate that I didn't kill Li Hongzhang's dog thief with my own hands and avenge our brothers in the Little Knife Society." ”"I knew you were strong, and I didn't expect you to confess your sins.I came here today to tell you that Qiao Zhiqing, the chief soldier of Jiangsu, has sent someone to pick you up in person, and you can leave here today. ”Zhou Fu's eyes were staring at Zhou Xiuying's reaction like torches, and after Zhou Xiuying heard Qiao Zhiqing's name, she really trembled her shoulders, shook her head and shouted, "No, don't take my words anymore, I have nothing to do with Master Qiao, if you want to kill, I don't know anything." ”"Lord Qiao, Miss Zhou's name is really affectionate."
Zhou Fu saw the clue at once, and affirmed that Zhou Xiuying and Qiao Zhiqing had a great relationship."
Dog officer, you didn't wronged Master Qiao, everything was done by me, Zhou Xiuying."
Zhou Xiuying's eyes roared, and she used all her strength to slam her forehead against the prison wall, and in an instant, blood splattered three feet, and she fell to the ground in a faint state."
Quick, carry her out and heal."
Zhou Fu looked at this strong woman, and for the first time felt an inexplicable tremor from the bottom of his heart.The women's prison was in chaos for a while, and Zhou Xiuying's ears were only filled with noise, and then nothing could be heard.Zhou Xiuying was in a coma and seemed to have entered a fairyland.A towering mountain peak rises in front of you, and a silvery waterfall cascades down.The surrounding area is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the vegetation is in full bloom.In front of the waterfall stood a handsome boy with a partial belt, with his back to Zhou Xiuying and his head closed in contemplation."
Zhiqing, is it you" Zhou Xiuying couldn't help but ask the son, and the back image was very much like the person she thought about day and night.The boy didn't react, still with his back to him as if no one was around.Zhou Xiuying frowned and finally couldn't help but walk towards his side, as soon as he approached his side, the boy disappeared without a trace with the scenery in front of him, and Zhou Xiuying panicked to find that he was standing on a cliff, and as soon as his feet slipped, he fell towards the abyss."
Zhiqing" Zhou Xiuying shouted and suddenly opened her eyes."
Brother Qiao, Sister Zhou is awake."
Zhou Xiuying's mind slowly cleared up, and then she found that she was lying in a quaint house.There was a young girl beside her, who was pushing the shoulders of a young man in front of her and shouting, the young man suddenly raised his head and hurriedly held Zhou Xiuying's slender hand, who is it not Qiao Zhiqing."
Zhiqing, is it really you" Zhou Xiuying felt that her heart was about to break, and she whimpered aggrievedly, and tears burst out of her eyes."
Fool, it's me, I'm here.It's okay, it's all gone. ”Qiao Zhiqing wiped her pale face, comforted her softly, and held her little hand tighter.Yan Yuting didn't know how to be moved by the two of them, wiped the tears on her cheeks, retreated with tears and laughter, and gently closed the door for the two of them."
Zhiqing, you have lost weight and have stubble."
Zhou Xiuying's hands caressed Qiao Zhiqing's cheeks, and suddenly she felt like she was so greedy for the man in front of her."
You fool, why do you want to say goodbye, do you know how worried I am about you" Qiao Zhiqing let out a long breath and glared at Zhou Xiuying fiercely.stood up and picked up the medicinal soup on the table, and fed Zhou Xiuying one bite at a time."
Am I not in a prison in Shanghai, did you really go to Shanghai to save me" Zhou Xiuying looked at Qiao Zhiqing and smiled bitterly, and after drinking obediently, the complexion on her face improved a lot."
Li Hongzhang had a little favor and begged me to help him, so he sent you back by the way.But fortunately, nothing is wrong, and you must not do anything stupid in the future.With me, no one can hurt you. ”Qiao Zhiqing spit out from the bottom of his heart, and Zhou Fu also told him everything, Zhou Xiuying committed suicide by hitting the wall in order not to confess him.The guilt that cleared Qiao Zhi for a while should not have been left alone."
That's good, I'm afraid that he will be unfavorable to you and embarrass you with the things of the concession, so I made a decision, and I definitely won't do it in the future.Unless you let me die, I will do anything for you. ”Zhou Xiuying struggled to get up, wrapped her arms around Qiao Zhiqing's body, and wiped away her tears."
Fool, what are you talking all this nonsense for."
Qiao Zhiqing stroked her hair and sighed sadly.After Zhou Fu determined Zhou Xiuying's identity, he hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to Qiao Zhiqing, in which he told Zhou Xiuying about Zhou Xiuying's assassination of Li Hongzhang, and told Qiao Zhiqing that Master Li remembered the past relationship between the two of them and didn't want to do things too much, and the affairs of the eight teachers were also handled by Qiao Zhiqing.In exchange, Qiao Zhiqing can also take Zhou Xiuying to Suzhou at any time.On the day the holy decree was issued, Qiao Zhiqing took his soldiers to Huaxing Academy to detain the eight teachers.In front of all the teachers and students of the school, he read out the will of the imperial court with melancholy.He warned all the teachers and students not to change the law to the imperial court, and expressed his heartfelt admiration for the heroic deeds of the eight teachers.promised to go to the court and forgive the sins of several people.At that time, the eight teachers suddenly understood that they had fallen into Qiao Zhiqing's trap, and Qiao Zhiqing must have played all the manuscripts to the imperial court, wanting to borrow a knife to kill people.Several people scolded Qiao Zhiqing in the prison of the government office.Qiao Zhiqing showed Zhou Fu's letter to several people, and explained the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to everyone one by one.Only then did the teachers know that Qiao Zhiqing had already discovered their identities, but he was kept in the dark and played by Qiao Zhiqing."
Qiao Zhiqing, since you know the identity of our others, why don't you give us a good time, why do you humiliate us like this" Qi Shiming scolded the most, and greeted Qiao Zhiqing's eight ancestors."
When you were assigned by Li Hongzhang to instigate the students to make trouble, you should have thought of today's result, they are still a group of innocent children, but they are controlled by you bastards with ulterior motives.Fortunately, this official found out early, otherwise these future pillars of talent would have been ruined by a few of you bitches.You still have the face to question the official, all of them look sanctimonious, do you let the dog eat it" Several people were really ashamed and couldn't raise their heads when they were scolded by Qiao Zhiqing, Qiao Zhiqing prepared a rope for each of them, and let them choose for themselves, whether to go to the capital to be tried, or to break it happily.On the second day, Huaxing Academy posted an official document that eight teachers committed suicide in prison because they did not want to involve the college.Although they are dead, the spirit of dedicating their lives to changing the Dharma lives on.Master Qiao has sent a special person to erect a heroic monument for these eight people in the college for future generations to pay respects.The students were in an uproar, and they hated the decay of the imperial court from the bottom of their hearts, and spontaneously organized themselves to mourn and see off the eight teachers on the day they were buried.These eight teachers really became heroes
