The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 231: Flirting with Dou Ji, the truth is revealed

Qin Yun glared at him and said, "Why torture a woman or a child? I am not a tyrant who would torture people into confessing."

"Let the Zongzheng Temple watch over him first, and provide him with good food and drink. I will personally examine him tomorrow."

Wuming nodded: "Yes!"

Qin Yun looked at Eunuch Xi and said, "Inform Concubine Dou that I will go to her place tonight."

"All of you, please stand down."

"Yes!"

Although Dou Ji's period was obviously not over yet, he still wanted to steal her. The sense of excitement and desire to conquer her were something he could not experience with other women.

The next day, he got up from the soft and fragrant bedding.

What catches your eye is Dou Ji's beautiful hair, which is extremely messy.

He couldn't help murmuring, "If you have poetry and books hidden in your heart, time will never defeat beauty."

Dou Ji's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she smiled bitterly as if possessed by some mysterious force: "I still have some appearance this year, but in a few years, Your Majesty may not think so anymore."

"The palace is lonely. It has always been like this. I just hope that in the future, His Majesty will remember that there is someone like me."

Qin Yun shook his head and said firmly and objectively: "You are too beautiful. Age will only make you more beautiful."

Dou Ji couldn't help but take out the bronze mirror. In the mirror, her black hair was like a waterfall and her cheeks were beautiful, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could not be concealed.

She couldn't help but feel sour, and smiled: "Your Majesty, do you really think I'm beautiful?"

Qin Yun suddenly turned over, leaned over, and kissed her red lips fiercely.

Then he looked at her mature natural face with fiery eyes and said, "Of course she is beautiful. She is so beautiful that I can't help myself."

Dou Ji's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of panic. She didn't know where to put her hands. She could only say softly, "Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty. I am overwhelmed with fear."

"May I help you change your clothes?"

Qin Yun looked amused and shook his head, saying, "I prefer you to call yourself Ai Jia. It has a bit of nobility and strength in your eyes."

Hearing this, Dou Ji's face turned red and white. Calling herself "Ai Jia", isn't that showing off that she is Qin Yun's elder all the time?

"Your Majesty, please stop joking."

She wanted to get up, but was restrained by Qin Yun, who gently bit her crystal earlobe.

Dou Ji's body softened, her beautiful eyes quickly turned into a pool of spring water, and she said in panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you..."

"I will not attend the morning court today. If the Concubine Dowager does not agree with my wishes, I will not leave."

Dou Ji was ashamed and humiliated. She stole a glance at him and said awkwardly, "Didn't Your Majesty say that I would not have sex if I was not feeling well? Why are you threatening me now?"

Qin Yun chuckled: "To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost. I broke my promise once, so what?"

"If the Concubine disobeys, then she has no regard for me."

Dou Ji looked at him helplessly, extremely hesitant.

Finally, she lowered her eyes and said in a thin and weak voice: "Ah... How can I not have Your Majesty in my heart?"

"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me from now on. It's better not to say those two words again, otherwise it will go against etiquette!"

After saying that, she turned her head away and hid under the quilt.

The sound of the accelerated heartbeat can be heard by outsiders.

"Hahaha!"

Qin Yun laughed loudly and patted Dou Ji's smooth back wantonly.

"My beloved concubine is obedient. I am very pleased. Change your clothes!"

Dou Ji then slowly stretched out her head, her face flushed red, and a hint of girlish shyness could be seen on her still charming face.

He avoided her gaze and began to kneel on the bed to change clothes.

……

Leave Qianfu Palace.

Qin Yun met with Qi.

A woman wearing expensive robes, about the same age as Dou Ji, but her figure and appearance were much worse.

She knelt on the ground in fear, trembling in fear before the emperor.

Facing all the questions and answering them one by one, it doesn't seem like I'm telling lies.

When asked about her husband, she did not hide anything and even promised Qin Yun that she would draw a portrait for the court to investigate.

In the end, Qin Yun had no choice but to give up.

He also gave her some silver as compensation, so that she could live in the Zongzheng Temple with peace of mind for the time being.

After she left, Hu Run, the eighth guardian, limped out in a panic from behind the screen.

He smiled bitterly at Qin Yun and shook his head: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide it from you, but I have never seen this woman."

"I have never heard that Mr. Cao had a child with the woman from the cloth shop. It is really a fantasy."

Hearing this, Qin Yun frowned.

He continued to ask, "Could it be possible that he hid it from all of you bodyguards?"

Hurun fell silent.

Then he nodded and said, "It's possible. Master Cao has always been very mysterious among us brothers."

"He was also the last one to join the Ni'er Society. Many years ago, when several great guardians first gathered together, it was actually led by Master Shiye."

"But then Master Cao suddenly appeared. He had extremely powerful means, seemed to have a backer, and was very resourceful. So Master was willing to retreat to the second line."

"If Master Cao has a secret, it's not impossible."

"But I really don't know. I want you to catch Master Cao and execute him immediately more than anyone else. Otherwise, if he catches me in the future, he will definitely drink my blood dry!"

Hurun was in tears. All the guards were dead except himself. Mr. Cao was not a fool and he must be able to guess something.

Qin Yun looked at them with disdain: "Aren't you brothers of different surnames? When disaster strikes, you two will flee on your own."

Hu Run's face was hot, and he said awkwardly: "If a man does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Since I have surrendered to Your Majesty, I naturally have to think about Your Majesty."

Qin Yun said disdainfully: "Go away, wait for Qi to draw the portrait, then you can identify the person and see if it is Cao Hui."

"If it's Cao Hui, then it's easy to deal with."

"He has committed countless crimes. I want him dead at three o'clock in the morning. He won't survive until five o'clock."

Hu Run's body trembled, he kowtowed in fear and trepidation, and then was taken away by the imperial guards.

Since Qi was not good at painting, she made slow progress in sketching her husband's face.

Three days have passed!

Many painters were called in by Qin Yun to assist Qi, and they were only able to depict an eight-point portrait.

When the scroll was handed to Hurun, he looked horrified, staggered a few steps, and shouted, "It's him, it's him!"

"This is Master Cao!"

"How can he have a family and children?"

"The cloth shop is actually his home!"

Qin Yun's eyes emitted a sharp light. What a Cao Hui! His true identity finally surfaced!

"boom!"

Qi's legs went limp and she knelt down crying, "No, no!"

"My man is just an idler, how could he rebel against his superiors and join forces with robbers?"

"This is slander, this is slander, Your Majesty, please be more discerning!"

She begged for mercy like a madman, knowing that Ni'er was a vicious organization. If she just stood by and watched, she and her child would die with them!

Qin Yun snorted coldly: "Humph, if your husband wasn't the leader of the Ni'er Society, if he wasn't Cao Hui, do you think your cloth shop business would be so stable?"

"Most businessmen have been blackmailed by bandits, but only your cloth shop has been safe for many years!"

"No!" Qi knelt on the ground and cried, heartbroken.

She couldn't believe that her husband had hidden his identity for so many years, even lied to her, done all kinds of bad things, and had no conscience!

Qin Yun's eyes were cold. If he wanted to lure out Cao Hui, he could only use Qi as bait.

He deliberately said, "Announce this to the world. If Cao Hui refuses to show up and confess his guilt, Qi will be implicated. There will be a public trial at the market tomorrow and he will be executed at noon."

"I want to see if this bastard still has any humanity in him, letting his innocent wife take the blame."
