Chapter 297: Flattering to the outside, ruthless to the inside

Although there have been some twists and turns,
But the people of Youyu tribe were still properly resettled.
The common people returned home, and many beautiful women returned to the bamboo house on the northwest side.
All the soldiers of the Youyu tribe were guarded in the central square.

At this time, the lights in the bamboo building on the northwest side were on, as bright as ever.

The difference is that the charming atmosphere in the air has become solemn.

The guarding soldiers were transformed into scouts from the front army, and there were fewer Ming men in the house.

At the hour of Yin, the sky became increasingly dark.

After finishing his work, Liu Heiying came to the bamboo building while wiping his hands.

There was a solemn and murderous look on his dark face, and his small eyes exuded a murderous intent that had not yet been dispelled.

He looked down at the bloodstained handkerchief and ordered the soldiers:
"Get a basin of water."

"Yes."

After Liu Heiying washed his hands, he walked towards the most central and elegant courtyard in the bamboo building.
I stepped lightly onto the bamboo ladder, and the sound of light footsteps was heard.

The solemnity on Liu Heiying's face faded, replaced by a warm look.
When he stood in front of the door, he was completely different from before.

The only thing that remains unchanged is those somewhat cold eyes.
He rubbed his eyes gently, and kept thinking about the pretty figures of those beautiful women in his mind, which finally made his eyes a little cloudy.

Taking a deep breath, he gently raised his head and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Who?" The voice was cold, with a hint of shock.

"Miss Hongji, open the door." Liu Heying's voice rang out.

Soon, hurried footsteps were heard from inside the house.

The door was opened, and a figure stood there with a look of surprise on his face.
Hongji's originally pale face was instantly covered with a layer of red.
Her hair was scattered in a messy manner, but instead of looking messy, it looked somewhat sad and beautiful.

She was only wearing a gauze skirt as thin as a cicada's wing, and you could vaguely see her snow-white skin behind the skirt.

"General, please come in quickly."

Hong Ji's bright face showed surprise and shyness. She quickly turned her body to the side and made a gesture of invitation.

Liu Heiying coughed lightly and said, "Miss Hongji, this is a woman's boudoir. I cannot enter."

"I can only rely on the general to keep my life. For a dying person, there is no difference between men and women..."

Hongji's face was filled with sorrow, her fair and neat eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
Her big eyes were filled with light and sorrow, and her slightly frowned red lips made people feel pity for her.

"General, come in quickly"

Seeing that he was still taking a long time to come in, Hong Ji reached out to pull him in.

Liu Heiying felt a little embarrassed when he saw this. He looked around, walked in, and the door closed instantly.

Inside the house, Hong Ji had already thrown herself into Liu Hei Ying's arms.
The fragrance that came to his face made Liu Heiying have difficulty breathing.

As I looked around, the candlelight in the house was reflected by the light red lampshade, making the house look extremely bright and charming.

There were some scattered rose petals on the ground, and there was even an extra pillow on the large bed.

This arrangement is self-evident.

Liu Heiying's eyes flickered, and he quickly pushed Hong Ji away and spoke in a deep voice:
"Miss Hongji, I have something important to attend to. Please respect yourself."

Hong Ji's face suddenly became sad, and her head lowered a little bit.

He walked to the table with a sense of loss and sat down gently.

It was not until this moment that Liu Heiying discovered that
The veil she wore was so slimming that it highlighted the roundness and magnificence of her figure.
Especially the not-so-small stool, which has been completely covered, revealing the seductive curves.

"General, if you want to know something, just ask."

Hongji's voice was soft, with a hint of resentment.

But he did not stop his movements. He took out the teacup from the table and poured two cups in turn.

He picked up one of the cups and took a sip, then pushed it aside:
"General, drink tea. Hongji has tried it. It's not hot."

Liu Heiying had a strange look on his face. If he didn't know that this person was cunning and ruthless,

One might even think of her as the top prostitute in a brothel, as she is extremely good at seducing men.

Liu Heiying showed concern, gently held Hong Ji's hand, and said softly:

"Ms. Hongji, I have already informed the Lord of your difficulties.

For the many members of the Youyu tribe, the Lord and Duke Cao will show leniency.
As for you, as long as you tell me everything you know, the adults will not embarrass you. "

Hong Ji seemed to be frightened by Liu Heiying's actions.

He stared blankly, breathing rapidly, and a blush spread from his cheeks to the outside.

"General, please ask. Hong Ji will tell you everything she knows."

"now it's right."

Liu Heiying took out a pen and paper from his bosom, looked at the blush under the gauze dress, and asked softly:
"Ms. Hongji, tell me about the origins of those children.
As well as the start time and specific operations,

Don't worry, Miss Hongji, just tell me what you know, and I will help you get rid of the crime."

Hong Ji's breathing was a little tight, and she leaned forward slightly with a red face.
She kissed Liu Heiying's cheek gently, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum:

"Thank you for your rescue, General. Hong Ji will work like a slave for you in the future. She will do whatever you want."

"Okay, let's talk."

Hong Ji nodded slightly and spoke softly:
"My elder brother is Apuzha, the leader of the Fish Tribe.
Ever since he took control of the Youyu Tribe eight years ago, my brother has been worried about how to expand the Youyu Tribe.

During this period, my brother tried many things, but he could not defeat the Ming soldiers.
Even the elite troops of Luchuan were unable to defeat them.

The fishing tribe suffered repeated defeats.

Later, by chance,
Shi Wenguang came to the tribe. At that time, he was a smuggler in Dali Prefecture.
What they sold were pots, pans, and some silk fabrics from the Ming Dynasty.

He told us that the fish species were not good.

The children born are stupid and clumsy, and their bodies are not strong.

In order to make the Yuyu tribe strong, these children must not give birth to children, but must give birth to the descendants of the Ming Dynasty."

"Was it Shi Wenguang's idea?" Liu Heiying asked as he wrote.

Hong Ji nodded slightly:

"Yunnan was not yet pacified at that time.

There were wars everywhere. My brother kept it in mind, but he had no way to implement it.
Just because Shi Wenguang disappeared without a trace.

Two years later, the war caused the Youyu tribe to decline further.

The tribe's members, who numbered over 10,000 at the beginning, are now less than 6,000.
Most of them were women and children, and there were almost no men left.

At this time, Shi Wenguang appeared again.
Yunnan was put into the trap of the Ming Dynasty. After the war was settled, it could continue to do business.

He saw the tragic situation in the tribe and brought up the old story again."

"Did you agree?" Liu Heiying paused and asked.

Hongji looked sad and a little desolate, and nodded slightly:

"The tribe has nowhere to go. There are only women and children. The tribe can't go far.
My elder brother also ascended to the position of clan leader from general and began to take charge of this matter.

In order to revitalize the Fishing Department,

My brother used the method Shi Wenguang had suggested and killed all the old people and children, leaving only the women and the young and strong.
At this point, the number of people in the Fishing Tribe had dropped sharply to only four thousand.

Later, Shi Wenguang kept bringing Ming men with him.
At first, they were beggars and refugees. "

Hong Ji pursed her lips, and a dazzling light inadvertently appeared in her eyes.

The whole person looked more charming, and his face was also rosy:

"The children they gave birth to are indeed different from those of the Fish Tribe.
They are healthy, smart, strong, and will not die easily if they are well cared for.
This gave the tribesmen and the brother hope.
Since then, Shi Wenguang would not only bring some scarce supplies every time he came,
And bring men with you,
Each time he stayed for a long time, he would vent his feelings on the women of the Fish Club.
Two years passed peacefully, and the tribe had children of the Ming people, who grew up little by little."

Hongji's face had a dazzling glow, like the mother of all children.

"Do you trust Shi Wenguang so much?"

Liu Heiying had a puzzled look on his face and started to ask. His breathing was heavy and his face seemed to be on fire.

Seeing this, Hong Ji smiled, with shyness and cunning flashing in her eyes.
He knelt down little by little and crawled under the table.

Soon, Hong Ji's vague voice came:
"Brother naturally didn't believe everything, and took in some of the defeated soldiers from Luchuan.
Even the young and strong people in the tribe today have also given birth to offspring.

Compared to the descendants of the Ming people, they were dry, thin, and prone to premature death.

So, my brother killed them all.
The tribesmen concentrated on raising the descendants of Ming people, and Shi Wenguang brought more and more men.
Gradually, he brought some beautiful women from the tribe into Dali Prefecture and lived with them in various places.
It won't be long before she comes back pregnant.
Later I learned that those women served important figures in the Ming Dynasty.

With the help of these people, Shi Wenguang acted more and more unscrupulously, and the caravan became stronger and stronger.

From once a month to twice a month,
Sometimes I stay for ten days, sometimes for fifteen days.

More and more women from the tribe were sent to Dali Prefecture, and more and more children were brought back.
Shi Wenguang became more and more generous.

The trade is not limited to the scarce materials in Ming country, but also includes some more news. "

Hongji stopped talking, her voice was sobbing.
After a long time, she began to breathe rapidly.
"Huhu."

Liu Heiying had already finished recording and was looking at her silently.
The blush on Hongji's face became more and more obvious. This time she did not dodge.
Instead, he raised his head and looked at him from bottom to top.
The flawless white skin is exposed, and the eyes are as charming as silk
"General, I am willing to go back to Ming with you.

I don’t expect the general to treat me well, I just hope the general can give Hong Ji a chance to serve him.”

As she spoke, Hong Ji rested her head on Liu Heying's thigh, whispering softly with a look of longing on her face.

Liu Heiying gently raised his hand to help Hong Ji tidy up her hair, with a smile on his face:
"You want to be an Akito?"

Hongji's body trembled slightly, and she nodded vigorously:
"I want to serve the general."

"I will give you this opportunity."

Hong Ji's eyes burst into an unprecedented light, and the red light in the room dimmed, but it was even more charming.

Hongji began to serve more attentively.

The room fell silent. After an unknown amount of time, Liu Heiying felt his hair stand on end.
The redness on his face disappeared completely, his eyes became much clearer, and he smiled softly:
"It's a pity. You were the one who taught those women all those moves, right?"

Hong Ji looked puzzled, pursed her lips, and rolled her white neck, making a slight sound.

Liu Heiying handed over the document in his hand.

"Take a look and see if there is anything missing."

Hong Ji knelt there, hesitated for a moment, and slowly shook her head:
"This is the general's stuff, I shouldn't look at it"

"Look, it's about you."

Hearing this, Hong Ji felt sweet in her heart and looked down.
But as soon as she saw the first sentence, she was stunned for a moment.

[There is a female embroiderer in the Yuyu tribe, who is flattering to the outside world but cruel to the inside, and she practices the method of exterminating the clan and borrowing the seed.]
"General, did you remember it wrong?"

Hongji raised her head, her face still flushed, but the charming and sticky tone in her voice disappeared.
"This is clearly stone writing. Uh. Ah. Uh."

Hong Ji's voice stopped abruptly, and she looked up in surprise.

Liu Heiying's cold and ruthless face looked even more sinister in the dim light.

He didn't look like a lecher or evil spirit at all like he did just now.

Liu Heiying tilted his head and looked at Hong Ji carefully.
The big hand locked Hongji's slender neck tightly like an iron clamp.

With a slight force of five fingers, Hong Ji's face turned red in an instant, as if it was burned by flames.

"Ahh. Spare..."

Hongji's eyes were filled with fear and pleading, her pupils dilated slightly due to suffocation, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She wanted to beg, but she couldn't.

She slapped Liu Heiying's strong arms desperately.

Every blow seemed so powerless, just like the fallen leaves in autumn, which lose their power at the slightest touch.

“The girls under your command have all confessed their crimes, and now it’s your turn.

I heard that Miss Hongji is very skilled in martial arts, would you like to learn a thing or two from her?"

Liu Heiying felt the slap on his arm, but remained unmoved.
He stood up slowly, his movements showing an unquestionable determination.

Hong Ji's body was lifted high up with his movements, her feet off the ground.

Her legs drew messy arcs in the air and she kicked helplessly in the air, trying to find a little support.

But each time was in vain and I could only hang there more helplessly.

The air around her seemed to be sucked away, and Hongji's struggle gradually became weaker.

His eyes began to blur and his body began to twitch unconsciously.
My mind gradually became blurred and fell into darkness.

Before she died, she had only one thought in her mind.
"why."

Liu Heiying's face was calm, even though Hong Ji was silent.
He did not hold back, but squeezed harder.
"Click"

A clear voice sounded, and Hong Ji's beautiful head drooped down, with fear and astonishment in her eyes.
Liu Heiying threw her to the ground casually, curled his lips, and showed a trace of disdain on his face:
"You are really good at serving others."

In the room, the light was dim and mottled, as if even the air was frozen in the gloom and uneasiness of the moment.

Liu Heiying clapped his hands gently, picked up the booklet on the table and left the room.

The sound of footsteps, coming from near and far, echoed in the empty bamboo building.

Leaving behind was a corpse with eyes wide open, full of fear and unwillingness, and a twisted body.

Lu Yunyi and Li Jinglong looked at Liu Changshi, who was tied up in front of them, with solemn and strange expressions.

Liu Changshi no longer had the ferocity he had when they first met.
There was no longer the confusion I had felt along the way, but instead a sense of defeat and unwillingness.

Li Jinglong put his hands behind his back, breathing rapidly, not knowing what to say.

He came to Liu Changshi angrily, put his finger on his head, and said viciously:
"The annual salary of a hundred households of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty is exactly one hundred taels.
You and your son are still running a business, what kind of women can't you find? Why did you give birth to your baby in the Fishing Department?

What good thing can I say about you?

Not only did she give birth to a baby, she even worked for the Fishing Department.
If your old mother knew, wouldn't she be heartbroken?"

Liu Changshi looked listless and his eyes were dull.
After a long time, his slightly hoarse voice sounded:
"Duke Cao, at first I didn't know she was a girl from the Yuyu Department, I just thought she was a prostitute."

"That's enough, what bullshit is this?
You treat a prostitute who has been played with by others like a treasure and keep her at home.

You have disgraced the Liu family for eighteen generations, and the reputation of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei has been ruined in your hands."

Li Jinglong became angrier as he spoke and kicked him.

Liu Changshi fell to the ground, wailing and bursting into tears.

But at last he sobbed and said:

"Duke Cao Qingyi was also forced into a corner.
She is innocent, and I hope Duke Cao can forgive her for the sake of my deceased brother and father."

"That's enough. You still dare to mention your father and brother. You have completely disgraced them!!"

Li Jinglong was furious and walked quickly to the table.
He picked up a document and walked over to him, flipping through it quickly. After a while, he stopped at a page:
"Qingyi, who treated you like a treasure, not only gave birth to your children,
I'll tell you, in just eight years, she has given birth to five people.

One of them is a beggar, one is a refugee, two are clerks from the granary of Dali Prefecture, and the last one is you."

Liu Changshi stared blankly with his eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on his face, and he didn't even realize that the snot was running from his nose.

"Impossible, impossible!!! She was forced!!"

"To tell you the truth, as soon as a woman gets old and loses her looks, any woman who is still good in bed will be sent to the brothel of the Baiyan Chamber of Commerce.
If you can catch one, it's one.
But I never thought that I would catch you.

You are an official appointed by the imperial court, and your whole family are members of the Imperial Guard. Do you need money?

Why can't you find a good one?
Do you have to sleep with that two-cent nanny?"

Li Jinglong's speech speed became faster and faster, and his breathing became more and more rapid. He felt that his blood was rushing up and he could not breathe.

Lu Yunyi didn't know what to say, and looked at the interrogation record on the side with a helpless look on his face.

He had never thought that there would be so many infatuated people in the Ming Dynasty today.

Lu Yunyi stood up and helped Li Jinglong sit down, gently soothing his breath.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, so there's no need to get angry."

Li Jinglong closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, rubbing his brows:
"I am so angry that I don't want to marry a good Ming woman.
He just loves that girl from the Fish Club, which really leaves me speechless."

In response to this, Lu Yunyi also sighed and explained:
"The leader of these women is the woman named Hongji.
She wanted to be a Ming person since she was a child, and she had low self-esteem.

When teaching those girls, they were tainted with slavery.
When it comes to Ming men, they will agree to any request, no matter how excessive it is.

Such a woman, as long as she is a little bit pretty, can make men fall in love with her. "

As he spoke, Liu Changshi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly widened his eyes with shock on his face.
A heart is withered and broken
Seeing him like this, Li Jinglong couldn't help but feel dizzy and his head was dizzy again. He was really right.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open.

Liu Heiying quickly squeezed in, his face looked a little heavy, and he spoke in a muffled voice:
"Brother Yun'er, everything has been arranged."
