Fu Lie squinted his eyes and glanced at the sky, while Long Ye felt that the signal flare looked familiar!
When Fu Lie lowered his head, Long Ye turned around and left here without hesitation.
"Come here! Send His Highness Prince Ning back for treatment quickly!"
Hei Jiren gave an order, and the people he brought immediately took Prince Ning and his people away.
Turning to look at the bearded people at the entrance of the cave, Hei Jiren stood up.
He looked at Wen Qingzhu, who had his eyes closed, and said, "Lin Yushu is here too, you guys."
Hearing this familiar and calm voice, Wen Qingzhu sighed and finally opened his eyes.
She still had that bruised face, but she spoke and acted as normal.
The bearded man let go of his hand in confusion.
Wen Qingzhu stepped forward, clapped his hands and said, "As expected of Master Hei, he has indeed seen through my plan!"
Hei Jiren looked at her seriously, then looked at Fu Lie without saying anything.
Wen Qingzhu didn't say much, and walked up to Fu Lie: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Fu Lie smiled and stood in front of her and turned around.
After confirming that Fu Lie was not poisoned, Wen Qingzhu turned around and walked to Hei Jiren.
"Master Hei, we are all smart people. Since you cooperated with us to drive away King Ning and King Chu's people, and your signal flares were also released, you must give an explanation to His Majesty next."
Hei Jiren looked sideways at Bearded and the others: "What? You still want to keep them?"
Hearing this, the beard jumped and shouted quickly: "Auntie! You can't abandon us! We only listened to your words and did this!"
Wen Qingzhu nodded at him, and then turned to Hei Jiren and said, "Master Hei, you heard me. They did this because they obeyed my orders and are human beings! They must be trustworthy, otherwise they will be with Prince Ning." What's the difference between the kings of Chu and his like?"
There was a faint tremor in the distance. Seeing that Hei Jiren was still hesitating, Wen Qingzhu continued to persuade: "Don't worry, I have everything arranged."
Hei Jiren heard the sound getting closer and closer, and he had no chance to think about it.
Thinking back on everything from the past few days, he took a deep breath.
I'm afraid that the moment Fu Lie mobilized the Tiger Talisman, all of them would fall into this trap.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Hei Jiren seemed to see Jiang Yue in his youth.
He had also plotted against everyone just like Wen Qingzhu.
Trick everyone around.
"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate! They won't be able to escape after half a month in jail!"
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "Well, it's all expected, just give them some saliva and they'll be fine."
In less than a quarter of an hour, the emperor's secret guards came over.
They did not show up directly, but quietly approached Beard and the others.
Wen Qingzhu was still kidnapped by Beard.
But Beardbeard was very uneasy, even though he said he hadn't seen anything.
But he just felt a shuddering danger.
The skinny man hiding in the cave finally couldn't sit still anymore, and he walked out directly holding Lin Yushu hostage.
Sure enough, when the secret guards saw Lin Yushu, they all stopped in unison.
Following Wen Qingzhu's instructions, the skinny man used silkworm silk to strangle Lin Yushu's neck.
There was already a light red mark on her neck.
Even if the thin man was assassinated and fell to the ground with enough force, he could strangle Lin Yushu directly to death.
Because of this, the emperor's secret guards stood still.
Seeing this scene, Hei Jiren had to be convinced. Wen Qingzhu was indeed very cunning.
He even knows how to deal with these secret guards.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Hei Jiren could only step forward and continue talking to the bearded man.
Finally hearing Hei Jiren's voice, Beard almost cried.
Before this, my aunt said that once Master Hei is willing to negotiate, then they will be safe.
At least this little life can be saved!
The bearded man was so moved that he shouted back: "Then I'll give you a discount, just ninety thousand taels of silver! I don't want any more!"
Hearing this number, Hei Jiren closed his eyes, and it took him a long time to suppress the anger in his heart.
Only Wen Qingzhu could come up with this number.
Wen Qingzhu, who pretended to faint, almost couldn't help but opened his eyes.
Your uncle's! Don’t restrain yourself until now!
There was really no way. With Jiang Yue's secret guards watching, it was impossible for Wen Qingzhu to remind Beard.
Hei Jiren also understood and had to be patient and bargain with the bearded man!
"Ninety thousand taels is too much! Five thousand taels!"
When the bearded man talked about money, he was not sure about it. He shouted anxiously: "You are all officials. As the saying goes, in three years, you will be the magistrate of Qing County with one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. You are all such high-ranking officials!" Isn’t one hundred thousand taels of silver readily available?”
Hei Jiren almost laughed angrily, where did Wen Qingzhu find this idiot!
At this time, you still bargain with him!
Don't they know that the longer it takes, the worse it will be for them
Fu Lie was also a little worried, why are these two people so unreliable!
Didn't Qingqing explain it to them in detail before
Wen Qingzhu, who was pretending to be a hostage, felt even more miserable!
The bearded man is very sensible when he should be sensible, but he actually understands it very well.
He also knew that this was the only time he could get money!
"Six thousand taels at most! Don't let us take action directly!" Hei Jiren has completely lost his patience. These two people are really ungrateful.
"How can that be done! At least 80,000 taels can't be less!" Seeing that Hei Jiren refused to increase the price, the bearded man was also worried.
Because he felt that familiar danger appeared again.
Just as Hei Jiren was about to speak, Fu Lie suddenly said: "Eighty thousand taels is too much. You work as robbers in the mountains every day. You don't know that this much silver can be enough for a hundred thousand troops and horses for a year. How about not giving it up?" Less, how about fifty thousand taels of silver?"
"Then... that's okay!" Beardbeard finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fifty thousand taels of silver was still money, after all, half of his life might have been lost.
But the skinny man spoke at this moment: "Wait! Then we don't need the fifty thousand taels of silver, but we want to fight with General Fu!"
"This..." Fu Lie could come up with money, but with their status, it was impossible for them to join the army.
The bearded man was about to scold the skinny man, but the skinny man shook his head.
The bearded man stopped talking.
The skinny man tightened the rope in his hand and continued: "We don't believe anyone, we only believe in General Fu. If we take this money, we may not even be able to protect our lives, so we might as well take the money in exchange for our lives!"
The two sides were in a stalemate, and Fu Lie probably understood what they meant.
But here are the emperor's people, so it's hard for him to agree directly.
After a moment of silence, he said: "But you are all bandits, and you are violating the law. According to the laws of this dynasty, you will be punished with death! Besides, you are not qualified to join the army at all. These are the regulations set by the emperor! Without the emperor's permission, I cannot make any decisions without permission. !”
"We don't care, we just want a word from General Fu!" The skinny man finally understood that life is much more important than money.
Judging from the look of my aunt, she is not short of money at all.
If you follow them from now on, you can make as much money as you want.
Now that my aunt is afraid to speak, he will kidnap General Fu properly!
"General Fu! Even our bandits know that you are true to your word and will do whatever you promise. Your Majesty is so fond of you, why can't you agree to this small request? You can't be inferior to your Majesty!"
When these words came out, Hei Jiren was stunned.
The beard looks stupid, but the skinny man behind him seems much smarter.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and then a secret guard came out and whispered a few words to Hei Jiren.
Hei Jiren glanced at Fu Lie, and it seemed that they were destined to completely accept this game.
"Okay! We promise you!"
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu was taken away by Fu Lie.
The emperor's secret guards and Hei Jiren escorted Beard and others back to Beijing to resume their duties.
As for the matters regarding the imperial mausoleum, they were directly handled by people sent by the emperor.
The capital city was in chaos.
King Ning was poisoned and fell unconscious.
Concubine Li couldn't sit still, so she directly summoned Hei Jiren and learned about the events of that day.
After hearing that Jiang Yuancheng's people had poisoned her, Concubine Li immediately became red-eyed.
She took Jiang Yijia and went directly to Hanbing Palace.
As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped by Concubine Wei.
"Sister, calm down! There must be something behind this!"
Concubine Wei actually didn't want to come, but Concubine Li made such a big move, so if she didn't come, it would be her dereliction of duty.
"Calm down?" Concubine Li, with tears still in her eyes, pointed at the door of Hanbing Palace and shouted angrily, "Then I have to ask, if Dejia is the one who gets into trouble this time, can you still sit still!"
Of course Concubine Wei couldn't sit still, but she had to stop Concubine Li: "Sister, this matter needs to be investigated carefully. Your Majesty will give Prince Ning justice!"
Seeing her like this, Concubine Li felt that Concubine Wei was favoring Concubine Wan.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the sword in the guard's hand.
He took a step forward, quickly drew out the sword in his hand, and swung it towards Concubine Wei.
Concubine Wei was unable to dodge and her arm was scratched.
Seeing that Concubine Li was about to take action, Concubine Wei simply pretended to faint.
"Empress!"
The people brought by Concubine Wei had no time to stop Concubine Li, and they all rushed in front of Concubine Wei.
Concubine Li was also furious. Without even looking at Concubine Wei, she rushed into the Hanbing Palace with her blood sword.
Concubine Wan, who was sitting in the front hall, got the news early.
After dressing up, she sat in front of the soft couch, drank tea, and waited for Concubine Li's arrival.
"Empress! Concubine Li is here with a sword in her hand!" Eunuch Hu hurriedly walked towards the house.
Eunuch Hu was shocked to see Concubine Wan sitting on the couch.
"Your Majesty, won't you step aside?"
Wanbi listened to the noise outside and looked at Eunuch Hu indifferently: "What are you avoiding? That Long Ye is the one Cheng'er is looking for in the first place. It's better to let Concubine Li take this beating."
Not long after, Concubine Li rushed in.
As soon as she came in, she stared at Wan Bin fiercely: "Yun Wan! I want you to pay for my An'er's life!"
The people who were waiting for Concubine Wan quickly went up to stop Concubine Li.
But how could they really dare to step forward? Concubine Li was born in a general family. Although she did not wield swords or guns, she was still much more powerful than the average daughter of a boudoir.
In a few moments, Concubine Li injured several palace servants and reached Concubine Wan.
Eunuch Hu was so frightened that he hurried forward to stop her, but Concubine Li was one step ahead of him and put the knife on Wan Bin's neck.
"Yun Wan! Are you so intolerant of our mother and son?"
Yun Wan looked at Concubine Li with calm eyes: "Sister, this matter really has nothing to do with Cheng'er. Cheng'er will never want to murder his brother. If sister doesn't believe it, you can kill me for revenge!"
As she spoke, Yun Wan raised her neck, as if she was at the mercy of Concubine Li.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Li was frightened.
Is Yun Wan determined that she doesn't dare to take action, or is the emperor coming
Regardless of the possibility, Concubine Li's anger still rose uncontrollably when she thought of An'er's current state.
"Yun Wan! Don't think I dare not!" Concubine Li suddenly raised her sword and stabbed Eunuch Hu next to her in the stomach.
Eunuch Hu vomited blood and fell down with his eyes open.
