He Zhizhou always felt that something was wrong.
It was true that they had ambushed before Su Rong, but even with his tip-off, he felt that this matter was too easy.
Old Zhu didn't want to care about it anymore. Seeing him procrastinating, he said, "What is there to be afraid of? If you are really worried, just go and take a look yourself!"
He Zhizhou was really worried, so he staggered up the stone pestle and happened to look inside along the exposed corner of the carriage, but he saw nothing.
He rubbed his eyes, confirmed that there was still nothing inside, then stood up with a grim face.
Old Zhu was amused by his silly look and burst out laughing. He raised his voice and asked him impatiently, "What's the matter, Lord He, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
He Zhizhou moved his lips and stared stiffly behind Lao Zhu with his eyes. His throat seemed to be filled with wet cotton, making it impossible for him to speak.
Old Zhu was a little impatient. Was this really a ghost
He looked back impatiently, but it didn't matter that he looked back, he couldn't help showing a look as if he had seen a ghost. He took several steps back in shock, missed a step and fell into the ravine. After struggling for a long time, he finally stood up by grabbing a branch. He looked at Su Rong who was standing not far away and Qiao Danning behind him in horror, and swallowed his saliva.
What's going on?! This person is not in the carriage?!
Su Rong calmly ignored him, his eyes fell on He Zhizhou, and he sneered: "Master He, are you so reluctant to part with me? It's only been a short time since we last met, and I didn't expect to see you again. Your Excellency really has... good intentions!"
He Zhizhou's back was tense, his eyes were wide open, and he was speechless for a while.
It was Old Zhu who let out a roar and took the lead, jumping up despite the cold and rushing towards Su Rong and the others.
Su Rong raised his eyebrows and pulled Qiao Danning back by the collar. Old Zhu stood there in a daze, with fear revealed all over his body. Behind Su Rong, there was a team of soldiers standing in a row, holding spears in their hands.
This is... ...
Tang Qingfeng curled his lips coldly: "Looking for death!"
He Zhizhou felt cold all over. The ambush he designed failed to trap the target and buried himself instead. At this moment, he felt nothing but regret.
But there's no use regretting.
Of course, he couldn't use the people in the government office to do this, so the only people he had were Lao Zhu and his subordinates. These people were all wild people, so how could they compare with the regular army brought by the Tang family? They were the real guards of the princess's mansion.
Tang Qingfeng took a look at the carriage that had been smashed into pieces, waved his hand mercilessly, and ordered coldly: "Capture them all, if there is resistance..."
He glanced at He Zhizhou and said in a more serious tone: "Kill him without mercy!"
The situation was stronger than the people. The number of people brought by Tang Qingfeng was absolutely superior. He Zhizhou's face was pale and he dared not resist anymore. Only Lao Zhu rushed forward regardless of anything. But Su Rong was not easy to deal with. He was very skilled in martial arts. There was no need for Tang Qingfeng to make a move. Lao Zhu was soon knocked to the ground and unable to get up.
Su Rong placed one foot on Lao Zhu's chest, and the soft sword seemed to be casually placed on Lao Zhu's face. He lowered his head and said, "Did you see that, Mr. Qiao? If it weren't for me today, you would have died in the hands of your own people."
Qiao Danning's face turned pale, his mind was in a mess, he couldn't utter a word, and just stood there in a daze.
Tang Qingfeng smiled at He Zhizhou and said, "Master He, please?"
He Zhizhou's heart suddenly sank. He walked out of Baihe Valley and saw that there were at least a hundred people crowded outside. He took a quick look and saw his old acquaintance, Commander Zhao from Tongzhou Guard Station. His mind went blank and he couldn't utter a word.
Su Rong had long been suspicious of him. The reason why he took Qiao Danning away in front of him was because he had long been certain that there was something wrong with him and would definitely not let Qiao Danning enter Beijing.
Finished.
He closed his eyes.
After seeing He Zhizhou and Old Zhu being taken away, Su Rong turned around and looked at Qiao Danning: "He Zhizhou wouldn't go to such lengths to kill people and make such a big scene to bury them alive, right? Mr. Qiao, how about we make a deal?"
Qiao Danning swallowed and looked at him with his neck stiffened.
The rocks and carriage wreckage in the valley still needed to be cleared. Su Rong turned around and saw Qiao Danning following him. He said, "I'll give you a way to survive. Your people won't say anything, but at least I won't let you lose your life now."
Su Rong approached him and glanced at him in a low voice: "Did you see that? He Zhizhou is a good candidate. As long as you put all the responsibility on him, you can still return to Beijing alive."
If Qiao Danning was asked to identify the mastermind now, he might still hesitate. However, when he heard that he was asked to put all the blame on He Zhizhou, he almost did not hesitate. In front of Zhao Zhihui and others, he hated He Zhizhou so much that he seemed to want to bite off a piece of his flesh: "I helped you, poisoned the prince, and helped you frame Chen Dong, and you actually want me to die!"
Shocking.
Commander Zhao and Tang Qingfeng looked at each other, both of them were shocked.
All along the way, Commander Zhao was listening to He Zhizhou's curses, but no one cared anymore.
Su Rong did not follow Commander Zhao to escort He Zhizhou, Qiao Danning and others to Beijing. With Tang Qingfeng and Commander Zhao around, nothing would go wrong along the way.
He turned around and went back to the Wang family villa in Wulipu, Tongzhou.
Young Master Wang had been feeling uneasy since he heard that Su Rong had gone to lure out the enemy. But when he heard someone coming in to report that Su Rong had returned, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and jumped up as if he had been pardoned. He was even more excited than Su Yao.
Even Wang Yuerong heaved a long sigh of relief. When he was completely relieved, he realized that his teeth were sore and painful from biting them.
When Su Rong came in, he found that everyone was there, even Song Xiangyu was there. He couldn't help but be a little surprised and greeted Song Xiangyu first.
Song Xiangyu raised his hand. Seeing that he was covered in dust and looked exhausted, he didn't waste any words and asked directly, "Did the snake come out of the hole?"
"Out of the cave." Su Rong raised his eyebrows slightly. "They set an ambush in Baihe Valley and planned to bury us alive. I had already predicted it. If they were to take action, they would only do it in those few places. When we got near Baihe Valley and saw some traces outside the valley, we pulled Qiao Danning off the carriage in advance and let the carriage go in empty. Sure enough, when the carriage was halfway, rocks began to roll down the mountain walls on both sides. This time they were caught red-handed. Commander Zhao and Lord Tang witnessed it with their own eyes. Lord He can't get away with it. With this, Chen Dong's matter is solved."
