Chapter 1763 When the Fake Becomes Real, the Real Becomes Fake
Chapter 1763 When the Fake Becomes Real, the Real Becomes Fake
This was Yu Qingyue’s first time in prison.
Her legs were shaking slightly from nervousness as the bailiff brought her to the place where Chunxiao was imprisoned.
"Girl, one stick of incense, as soon as possible."
Yu Qingyue nodded, and the bailiff retreated. Yu Chunxiao stood up upon hearing the sound and hurried to the prison door.
"Qingyue, you are here."
Yu Qingyue whispered, "Why are you in jail?"
Yu Chunxiao sighed: "Now that things have come to this, there is no need to say more. Anyway, I have been arrested. There is something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
Yu Chunxiao felt guilty: "I'm sorry, Qingyue, I lied to you."
Yu Qingyue was surprised and had a bad feeling in her heart: "What did you lie to me about?"
"Your father's death actually has nothing to do with the King of Zhennan."
Yu Qingyue was shocked, her eyes widened in an instant: "What did you say?"
"Your father was indeed a spy, but he was not captured and killed by the King of Zhennan. He was killed by his own people. They wanted to compete for your father's credit. This is... I am doing this for your own good."
Yu Qingyue's eyes were filled with tears: "For my own good? You lied to me for so long, and you still say it's for my own good?"
"I am afraid that you will really seek revenge on them. They have climbed to a high position by taking advantage of your father's achievements. You can never fight them."
"I thought of telling you that it was the Prince of Zhennan, so that you would give up, but who knew..."
Yu Qingyue burst into tears: "Which of your words are true and which are false? Who are they?"
"They died last year. How many spies have a good ending? You don't need to be a spy anymore. Now that you are in Youcheng, live a good life in Youcheng."
Yu Qingyue closed her eyes tightly and cried silently.
She couldn't explain why she was crying.
Are you crying because you took revenge on the wrong person and all this work was in vain?
Are you crying because your enemy is not Huo Changhe, so you don't have to feel conflicted when facing Huo Changxu?
She really couldn't explain it.
Yu Qingyue stopped crying: "Then you..."
Yu Chunxiao forced a smile and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I have delivered a lot of information. I can't escape. So let it be."
Yu Qingyue felt a hard time describing the feeling in her heart. She had never had a good impression of her second uncle, but now he was going to die anyway.
After Yu Chunxiao's death, she no longer had any blood relatives in this world.
"Okay, I'm done talking, you can go now."
Yu Chunxiao waved his hand to urge him, turned around and didn't look at him any more.
Yu Qingyue had no choice but to leave.
Huo Changxu was still waiting for her outside. When he saw her come out, he looked at her inquiringly.
Yu Qingyue forced a smile and said, "Let's go."
Her eyes were still red and swollen, but she didn't say anything, and Huo Changxu didn't ask any more questions.
The two left and Cui Chong walked in.
Yu Chunxiao clung to the prison door with a fawning look on his face: "Sir, I have followed your instructions and said everything you have told me. Can you let me go?"
Cui Chong smiled and said, "The princess asked you to say these words, do you know why?"
Yu Chunxiao shook his head: "I don't know, whatever the princess says is what it is, whether I know it or not, I will do as ordered. Now that it's done, please let me go, sir."
Cui Chong sneered: "After being a spy, you still want to leave?"
"Princess, there is something else to say. This person is a spy, also known as an enemy spy. Any citizen of our dynasty has the right to kill him."
Yu Chunxiao's eyes suddenly opened: "What...what do you mean? Are you going to go back on your word?"
Cui Chong raised his eyebrows: "How can you say you are going back on your word? From the prince and princess to the common people, no one has ever thought of letting you go."
Yu Chunxiao was so shocked that he was speechless.
……
Before Huo Changxu and Yu Qingyue returned home, Yan Ruyu received a letter from Cui Chong, saying that the matter was settled.
Yan Ruyu was not surprised. Yu Chunxiao was obviously a coward who was afraid of death. It was unknown how such a person could become a spy. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would say whatever she asked him to say.
As for the truth, Yu Chunxiao had not lied before. His brother, Yu Qingyue's father, did die in Shencheng and was caught by Huo Changhe and dealt with according to the law.
There is nothing to say.
Although she was not a soldier in her previous life, her nature was the same. If she caught an enemy country's spy, she would kill them without mercy. If she was not as skilled as others and was killed by the enemy, she could not blame anyone else.
If you work in this field, you must be prepared to die from the very beginning.
When two countries go to war, how can innocent people not be affected? If people with special identities like this are subjected to endless revenge, how long will it take to get through?
It is understandable emotionally, but Yan Ruyu really cannot agree with the behavior.
The reason why Yu Chunxiao tried to trick Yu Qingyue was not for Yu Qingyue, but for Huo Changxu.
Huo Changxu knew that Yu Qingyue was a grown man and a spy, but he didn't know the specific details. If, as the reborn Taoist said, Yu Qingyue took out all her hatred on Huo Changxu, it would be unfair to no one.
Yu Qingyue hasn't done anything yet, and her crime isn't punishable by death. If we forcefully drive her away, it might backfire.
Instead of being tough, it is better to go with the flow. As for whether this flow is real or fake, Yan Ruyu can control it.
That afternoon, the governor's office issued a notice that several spies would be captured and executed soon.
As soon as the notice was released, the whole city was in a sensation.
Not only that, the news that the Qiu family father and son were imprisoned and Qiu Keshi was resurrected was also posted.
This is what Yan Ruyu meant. Instead of waiting to be discovered, it would be better for the government to directly explain the whole story to avoid various versions of the rumor spreading. In the end, there might even be some rumors about ghosts and gods, which would cause panic among the people.
The government has spoken, the whole story has been revealed, and those involved have been investigated and prosecuted. The charges are clear and the facts are all there.
This is the credibility that the government should have and what it should do.
Governor Cao agreed with this.
After Qiu Keshi was brought back, he wrote a confession and signed it overnight.
What needs to be found out is who died for him and why they were willing to die for him.
It was also easy to check. With just one move from Qiu Ke Shi, everything became clear.
That young man was also a miserable person. He was not a local, but his ancestral home was in the northwest. He moved abroad with his parents when he was in his teens, and he also spoke with a northwestern accent, which was not much different.
When his father passed away, his last wish was to return to his hometown for burial. He accompanied his mother and sister back and met Qiu Ke Shi on the way.
Originally, they were 70% similar, but Qiu Keshi had other intentions and tried to please and make friends with her. Qiu Keshi was rich, generous, and had ulterior motives, so it was hard to guard against him.
The two quickly became friends.
Qiu Keshi had never been to Qingyuan Temple to worship, but he had donated money for incense and also received a jar of something that could change one's appearance. Shen Wenqi had helped him before she died.
Because he was a man, he was missed at first.
The young man realized his intention, but it was too late. His mother and sister were detained by Qiu Ke Shi, and he himself was kept in that small courtyard and was not allowed to go out.
By that day, Qiu Ke Shi knew he could not escape, so he went to the courtyard to activate this spare chess piece and met Master Qiu. The young man was taken away and died in prison. Qiu Ke Shi waited for another two days and confirmed that the government had determined that it was him who was dead, and then he escaped.
