Yi Er frowned and looked at Wei An, as if he was wondering whether what she said was true or false, and he couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
He knew that Wei An’s words were not making sense. How could Wei An let him go
Wei An knew Yi Er's concerns, so he said softly: "You are also working for someone else. This ship is the largest for you, right? You should be able to make the decision. As long as you tell me the information I want to know, I can let you go. Then you can go back and report, and no one will know about this..."
She persuaded him patiently: "This deal is very cost-effective. Think about it carefully. If you don't tell him, it will be a disaster for both of you. Even if you go back, you will not have a good ending. But if you tell him, nothing will happen..."
These words are all empty, false and clichéd, and in fact they are untenable.
But Yi Er was obviously scared by what Wei An said.
He had seen Wei An's methods. When he said he was going to frame the Peng family and the Yi family, he wiped out the Yi family and the Peng family without hesitation. What's more, he was not as skilled as others now, so he was lured out and his true identity was discovered.
Wei An didn't even have to do anything to him. As long as he asked the government to check the ship under the pretext of pirates, he would be recognized as the wanted criminal of the Yi family who should have been killed long ago.
By then, he will still be dead.
And he won't live to that point, because his superiors will kill him for leaking secrets and being incompetent.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wei An warily and asked her, "What do you want to know?"
Wei An laughed.
"Not much, I just need to know how Shen Chen was kidnapped this time? Where did he go?" Wei An glanced at him, raised his hand and gestured for him to sit down opposite him, his expression calm: "By the way, I also want to ask, what are you going to do with me."
Yi Er swallowed his saliva. He actually knew that Wei An was someone he could not afford to offend. You didn't need to look at Wei An to know that she was difficult to deal with.
Not only is she difficult to deal with, but whenever he thought of how she had wiped out the Peng and Yi families in the past, he felt an indescribable chill in his heart.
This opponent is really terrifying.
He took a deep breath, pursed his lips and said, "There are some things I can't tell you, otherwise I will be dead by then."
Wei An smiled and nodded: "So I didn't ask you about the things that made you embarrassed. I have already thought about it."
The Yi family is related to the Peng family.
If the Peng family can keep some people alive with the help of the Feng family, why can't the Yi family
Of course, Concubine Peng De would never do such a thing. She was in the deep palace and could not extend her hands so far. At that time, there was Empress Fang in the palace who was eyeing her covetously. She would not do such a thing that would leave room for gossip and make things difficult for herself.
Who else could it be
He wanted her and Shen Chen to die, but he also wanted to help her, and he also needed to save the Yi family members to serve him...
The answer is already apparent.
A faint sneer appeared on Wei An's lips.
Princess Linjiang is so stupid that she is determined to deal with Shen Chen, but she doesn't know that the net of Concubine Yu, who should be regarded as a real threat, has already been spread.
Concubine Yu is not a simple person.
Knowing that Shen Chen would never give up Chu Jingwu no matter what, he might as well get rid of him as soon as possible.
If she guessed correctly, Princess Linjiang would be the one to bear the blame in the end.
By then, Concubine Yu can kill two birds with one stone.
Concubine Yu, who was thinking of killing two birds with one stone, smiled and placed a piece on the chessboard, then looked up and smiled gently at Prince Linjiang: "I lost."
King Linjiang laughed: "You lost Jingzhou because of your carelessness. You could have won."
Concubine Yu just lowered her head and smiled.
As he was speaking, someone came from outside to invite Prince Linjiang, in a hurry and with a bad look on his face.
Concubine Yu lowered her head. She never asked about what happened in the past.
King Linjiang then walked out quickly.
After he left, Concubine Yu lazily had the chessboard put away. She stood up, changed her clothes, and said, "Please come in, Fourth Master."
The servants dared not neglect it.
Chu Jingxing is dead, and the current prince Chu Jingwu is in the capital. The third master Shen Chen has set up a new family and became the Marquis of Pingxi. Now, among those around Prince Linjiang, Chu Jingan is the most favored, but he is not spoiled by his favor. This time in the face of the Jiujiang flood, he suffered a lot. He followed the soldiers to fight the flood, and worked without sleep for seven days and seven nights, and was almost exhausted.
Chu Jing'an arrived quickly. He always respected his mother. Although he had just returned from the front, he came immediately when he heard his mother calling him.
He was already a grown man, and because he had been with Prince Linjiang for many years and was in the military, compared to Chu Jingwu and the others, he was less bookish and more rough.
But this still does not affect his handsomeness.
Concubine Yu is beautiful. He looks like his mother, with a beautiful face. He is also capable, so everyone likes him.
As soon as he entered the door, he smiled at his mother, said he was hungry, and asked his mother if there was anything to eat.
Concubine Yu also laughed, her eyes filled with genuine joy. She turned around and told the maid to prepare some snacks and bring them up. Her white hands straightened her son's messy hair and put his crown on him. Then she smiled and asked, "Is everything going well?"
King Linjiang fought for the court, and Chu Jingan also made a lot of efforts in it. Because of this, King Linjiang liked this son even more. However, there was a flood in Jiujiang recently, so King Linjiang asked him to come back to deal with the flood.
Chu Jingan nodded: "The prefect has sent people to help, and the victims have been properly resettled."
Concubine Yu nodded and smiled, she praised him and patted his head: "You are so motivated, mother is relieved."
Chu Jingan raised his head and smiled at his mother. Seeing that Concubine Yu was happy, he asked her again, "Is the matter going smoothly, mother?"
Concubine Yu paused for a moment, put her hands away, leaned back on the pillow, and shook her head slightly: "I think it's not going well."
Chu Jingan didn't understand, and looked at his mother with a serious face. Although she said so, she didn't look worried at all. He was a little confused, so he called out "mother" and asked, "Did something happen?"
Concubine Yu reached out from under her pillow and took out a letter and handed it to her son: "If it is according to what is said above, it is going smoothly. However... ... our opponents are Wei An and Shen Chen. If things go too smoothly, it will not go smoothly."
This statement could easily confuse people, but Chu Jingan was not confused. He understood what his mother meant by this. He quickly read the letter from the capital, and then asked Concubine Yu in confusion: "Mother, is there any news from Shen Chen?"
In fact, he did not quite agree with his mother touching Shen Chen at this time, because Shen Chen was now an imperial envoy after all, with many people around him, and touching him would implicate many people.
