Cheng Muyou heard his father suddenly mention his marriage, and the other party turned out to be the same Miss Zhong, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
But now that he has something important to do, he doesn't have time to think about it, so he just said to Cheng Dexuan, "Father, when is it, why did you talk about this?"
” Cheng Dexuan smiled, "Mu You, not only Lord Zhong, but his baby daughter also has a heart for you, do you know who Miss Zhong is, she is Lord Zhong's only daughter-in-law, and she doesn't even have a half-mother brother, if you marry her, then" Having said this, he felt a wind passing beside him, and Cheng Muyou suddenly walked around him in the direction of the cell, and said as he walked, "Father, I am going to the heavenly prison to interrogate the thief who robbed the ship, and these small matters will be discussed later." ” Cheng Dexuan turned around anxiously, because his movements were too fast, he almost twisted his bones, he held his waist, and chased after Cheng Muyou breathlessly, "Are these words for my father actually in vain?"
Why are you still not enlightened, why can't you understand?
” Cheng Muyou walked like a fly, but he didn't hear Cheng Dexuan's shout, there was only one thing he had in mind now, that is, he must find the real murderer before Li Bingwen was escorted to Bianliang, otherwise there would be no room for turning back.
He didn't know when the thought was born, but he knew that as soon as it was born, it took root in his brain, growing tall and leafy, and could no longer be abandoned.
So, as he navigated the dark dungeon, he had devised a plan in his mind to break through the man's psychological defenses.
"What's your name?"
Cheng Muyou stared at the bloodshot eyes in front of him and asked lightly.
"Du Zhiyong."
"The surname is Du, and that is the same clan as Du Ru.
The Du family's nest is in Jianzhou, but as far as I know, Li Bingwen has never set foot in Jianzhou, so how can he intersect with you?
” Du Zhiyong rolled his eyes and looked at him, "My lord, robbing salt is not a glorious thing, even if he Li Bingwen has been to Jianzhou, will he still let everyone in the world know about it?"
Besides, if my eldest brother wants to meet him, he can be picked elsewhere, and he doesn't have to be in Jianzhou. ” Cheng Muyou lowered his head and smiled, "What you said is right, even if Li Bingwen has never been to Jianzhou, it can't prove his innocence."
But when you mentioned your eldest brother just now, you meant Du Ru, right?
” Du Zhiyong said "um" impatiently, buried his head between his knees, and stopped looking at him.
"Du Ru is dead."
The four words that were not shocked, but they were like thunder on the ground, which made Du Zhiyong raise his head suddenly.
He stared at Cheng Muyou in disbelief, "What are you talking about, big brother, he's dead?"
” "It's not just him, today we fished out more than 200 corpses in the canal, and after investigation, all of them are your people," Speaking of this, he coughed lightly, lowered his body, looked at Du Zhiyong, and said softly, "The accomplice who came with you to hijack the ship, now you are the only one left alive." ” Du Zhiyong's eyes widened a little, and he suddenly struggled to get up, wanting to pounce on Cheng Muyou, but his hands and feet were shackled, and he couldn't move at all, and his body fell to the ground, shattering all his teeth.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, how could they die if they are so water-based?"
He opened his red mouth and shouted at Cheng Mu You.
Cheng Muyou slowly squatted down and looked straight at Du Zhiyong, his eyes were like torches, "It doesn't matter how they died, the important thing is that the person who has been hiding behind the scenes is still alive and well, and more importantly, now, you have become the only person in this world who knows his secret, I don't know what he promised you, but I dare to guarantee that he will never let you live well." ” These words were like a sharp blade, accurately inserted into the most vulnerable place in Du Zhiyong's heart, piercing him with blood, and he almost couldn't breathe out in one breath.
After a long time, he raised his head with a low pant and met Cheng Muyou's burning eyes, "I said it, that person is Li Bingwen." ” Cheng Muyou stood up disappointed, "I know you need time to digest this matter, but in another day, you will be escorted to Bianliang, and it will be too late by then."
After speaking, he slowly got up and walked towards the prison door, and when he arrived at the door, he turned back again, "You only have one day to think about it, and I can only protect you for another twelve hours, Du Zhiyong, you have to think clearly." ” After saying this, he walked outside along the lightless passage, leaving Du Zhiyong alone to kneel in the cell, expressing his inner fear and despair with a hoarse wail.
Zhong Zhiqing sat in the Taishi's chair, his back straight, staring at the glimmer of light and the thousands of floating dust floating in the light through the crack in the door in front of him.
He had been sitting like this for half an hour, and in the meantime, there had been a knock at the door, but when he heard no movement in the door, he left in amusement.
I don't know how long it took, but finally, the fingers he put on the armrest bent slightly, the light under his eyes turned from thick to faint, and his whole body quickly relaxed, and he completely collapsed in the support of the chair.
He sighed from the bottom of his heart: failed, completely failed, he didn't rob a grain of salt, and he couldn't get the silver, not to mention, how could he make a bus to Chu State?
Will Li Derang be furious and completely leave himself out in the cold from now on?
Thinking of this, his heart was like a mess and he was irritable, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room without knowing the time.
"Tuk Tuk" The light in the crack of the door was blocked, and Zhong Zhiqing glanced at the figure outside impatiently, still ready to hide silently.
But this time, the people outside the door were not so understanding, the door was pushed open suddenly, Zhong Min walked in with a big bang, glanced at Zhong Zhiqing, and closed the door behind him with a "bang".
"Min'er," Zhong Zhiqing rubbed the corners of his sore forehead and said softly, "I'm a little tired today and want to rest early." ” As if he hadn't heard this, Zhong Min walked over "slowly", sat down on the chair opposite, glanced at Zhong Zhiqing, and said, "Father, when did the person surnamed Cheng propose to me?"
” The surname is Cheng Hearing these three words, Zhong Zhiqing didn't react for a while, and after pondering it in his mind a few times, he realized that she was referring to Cheng Muyou, so he cleared his throat, "Min'er, you are your daughter's family, I can only hint at the matter of proposing, can you still go on the pole and beg others to propose marriage to you?"
It's too much."
Before he finished speaking, Zhong Min glanced at him again, "Hints?
Father, if you continue to grind like this, the surname Cheng will be taken away by that little cheap hoof. ”
