When Su Yao first heard the name of Lord Yuan, he frowned.
She had heard Su Rong talk about Lord Yuan before, the one who tried to set fire to the posthouse and was particularly cruel in the subsequent manhunt. She didn't think much about it and said directly, "I want to go see Lord Yuan."
Lord Yuan had collapsed on the ground with fear. He had been taken to the beheading scene these days and had gone mad. Even after confessing everything, he was still in a daze. He covered his head and huddled in the corner with a look of fear on his face.
Su Yao pushed the door open and walked in, with a creaking sound, bringing in sunlight.
The sunlight brightened the dark room and startled Lord Yuan so much that he quickly raised his hands to cover his eyes. It took him a long time to adapt. He blinked and saw a girl coming in. He almost thought he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes and confirmed that it was indeed a girl who came in. He couldn't help but be stunned.
Because he hadn't rested for a long time, he looked extremely dishevelled and haggard, with deep bruises under his eyes, making him look several years older.
Su Yao looked at him and said expressionlessly, "Yuan Zijian?"
Yuan Zijian subconsciously looked at her, a little confused and frightened, not knowing who she was.
Su Yao had no intention of explaining. She came here purely to confirm some things from Lord Yuan. Then she turned around and asked Xiao Heng, "Have you sent anyone to Qujing?"
Although Xiao Heng was always smart and decisive, he was stunned for a moment when he heard her nonsensical question.
Su Yao immediately frowned: "He is not telling the truth, he is stalling for time!"
Lord Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, and then a ferocious expression appeared on his face.
Su Yao was faster than him. Now Lord Yuan was just a tiger with its teeth pulled out. He had been tortured by Xiao Heng to the point where he was only holding on with one breath. Even if he was pretending, he was not much better. She swung her hand and slapped Yuan Zijian in the face, making him see stars.
"How ridiculous!" Su Yao's face changed, and he looked as cold as a devil from hell. Seeing that Yuan Zijian wanted to take action even after being exposed at this time, he sneered from the bottom of his heart, took a step forward, stepped on Yuan Zijian's fingers, and moved them away with force.
Yuan Zijian suddenly let out a scream.
Su Yao didn't care, leaned down and looked at Yuan Zijian with malicious eyes, and said, "I said that wolves travel a thousand miles to eat people, and dogs travel a thousand miles to eat shit. You are a hungry wolf, how can you understand human words so easily? It seems that the old saying is right. How can an evil ghost like you put down your butcher knife! It has come to this point, and you are still dreaming!"
Xiao Heng had understood what was going on, and asked her with a frown, "He didn't tell the truth?"
Lord Yuan confessed to some of the names on the list, and he has already sent people to arrest and interrogate the people according to the names on the list.
When he was working for the Royal Guards, he had interrogated countless prisoners and naturally knew when the time had come. Yuan Zijian's previous performance had indeed shown that he had reached the right time. Even what he said, based on his experience, should be true.
But how come Su Yao was sure that Yuan Zijian was lying just by asking for his name
Su Yao sneered, and regardless of Yuan Zijian's curses, she coldly slapped him a few more times until his ears began to buzz and he was dizzy and couldn't see clearly what was in front of him. Then she stopped and said to Xiao Heng, "Wasn't I tracking down Mr. Bai Qi before? What a coincidence, do you still remember the Dieyi I told you about?"
Xiao Heng naturally remembered.
That Dieyi had helped them a lot. She went to Fujian to meet Boss Ma, and eventually helped them confirm the identity of Shen Hai's daughter, causing Xu Fengming and Bai Qiye to kill each other and expose each other's secrets.
He nodded: "You mean, Dieyi knows him?"
"Yes, Dieyi mentioned to me that she had a patron named Yuan Zijian, and it was Master Bai Qi who specifically asked her to receive him, saying that he was an important person. If it was just the surname Yuan, I would not have such a deep impression, but Dieyi once said that she always received this Mr. Yuan, and she wanted to show some affection to him. Sometimes Mr. Yuan did not avoid her, so Dieyi knew that people called him, Mr. Yuan."
Mr. Yuan, Mr. Yuan who is an official in Yunnan.
He also has connections with Mr. Bai Qiye.
There are not so many coincidences in this world. If there really are, they are just man-made!
She already had a guess in her mind, and when she met Lord Yuan and saw the big black mole on his neck, she was even more certain of Lord Yuan's identity.
As for why I beat him as soon as I met him.
Of course it’s because he dared to hide it!
Why was Mr. Bai Qi so enthusiastic towards him, even to the point of fawning on him
Is it because he is only a fifth-rank military officer
They did it because of Wei Desheng, the hereditary second-class general and commander-in-chief of Yunnan!
And Wei Desheng is Mr. Yuan’s brother-in-law.
But Yuan Zijian even concealed this, which shows that he was not really afraid at all.
A villain fears power but not virtue. You cannot treat such a person with a good face at all.
Yuan Zijian was hit by Su Yao and he couldn't dodge at all. His mouth was swollen all of a sudden. It was the first time for him to see a girl who didn't play by the rules like this. In particular, this girl looked young and gentle, but he didn't expect her to hit people so quickly and fiercely. He turned his head and spat, spitting out a mouthful of blood and saliva, and pulled the corner of his mouth towards Su Yao.
Su Yao didn't wait for him to say anything unpleasant. He stepped forward and slapped him in the face again, knocking him unconscious. Then he stared coldly into his eyes and said, "You are stalling because you are confident that you have a brother-in-law who is the general of Yunnan. Wei Desheng, Lord Wei, is your backer, right?"
This time, Yuan Zijian's eyes almost popped out of his head, his heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Su Yao and shouted in a timid tone, "Don't talk nonsense! I don't know what you are talking about!"
Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows coldly: "Really? It doesn't matter, you will remember it soon."
He waved his hand, and Sansheng came in from outside. Xiao Heng ordered in a deep voice: "Go, bring Lord Yuan's wife and children here, let them see who is more important, them or Lord Yuan's secrets."
Once Xiao Heng makes up his mind to do something, he will do it no matter what.
Lord Yuan deceived him once, and Xiao Heng would never believe anything he said again.
When Yuan Zijian looked at him, for some reason all the hairs on his body stood up. It was not until this moment that he felt the chill in his bones and he could not help but shiver.
