Soon, veins popped up on Qian Yong's face and forehead, twisted and ferocious.
The eyes bulged out hard, as if they were about to fall out at the next moment.
However, in just a few moments, something seemed to click in the air. Qian Yong's eyes suddenly dimmed and he became confused and lifeless.
Wen Qingzhu asked directly: "How did you find Yao Ban?"
Qian Yong's mouth opened and closed: "I stole the seal and imperial edict of the Runan Palace, and Lord Yao took me in."
"What are your plans with him?"
"Let me help control Cangzhou's economy, using the Liu family business as a guise, and actually paving the way for the Du family, but I secretly plan to slowly infiltrate the Du family."
"Why is Du Weiniang sick?"
"Because she blocked the way between me and Master Yao."
"How did Du Weiniang get injured?"
"I bribed Yao Ban's secret guards and killed the Du family's servants. I used words and deeds to force a confession and asked her to tell me where Prince Ning's undefense plan was."
When they got here, Yao Ban's face was shocked, let alone Wen Qingzhu and the others.
Why does Qian Yong know so many things
Wen Qingzhu squinted his eyes and stared at Qian Yong carefully, feeling that he must have something left unsaid.
"Who do you belong to?"
"I'm not anyone's person, I'm just Qian Yong."
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu inexplicably thought of the person over there in Shazhou.
She asked again: "How did you get the seal and imperial edict from the Runan Palace?"
"Baiyun can help me."
Hearing the word Baiyun, Wen Qingzhu suddenly clenched his hands.
Sure enough it was him!
"Who is Bai Yun?" Yang Song interrupted.
Qian Yong still had the same absent-minded expression: "Partners are very trustworthy."
"How to contact him?" Yang Song asked immediately.
"I don't know, he will contact me when needed."
Yang Song looked at Wen Qingzhu's back. She suddenly didn't ask any questions just now. Does she know who it is
Of course Wen Qingzhu knew.
At this moment, she was sneering in her heart.
In his previous life, Jiang Yuancheng used the alias Baiyun to get close to the Shen family and Jing Yinuo, and he turned defeat into victory!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuancheng had already contacted Qian Yong at this time.
"Someone! Take him down!"
Wen Qingzhu turned his head and looked at Yao Ban: "Sir, you are also one of the suspects now, and I need your cooperation."
"Madam! Just the nonsense of a commoner, do you think that I am guilty?" Yao Ban was not afraid. He had already made preparations before coming here.
He has destroyed everything that should be kept and everything that should not be left behind.
There was no human or physical evidence, and no one except the emperor could do anything to him.
"I didn't say that your Excellency is guilty, but Qian Yong is a fugitive and appeared in your residence. This matter needs to be investigated carefully."
"That's not what Madam can order!" Yao Ban was not afraid at all.
But behind him, a faceless voice came: "Master Yao, Mrs. Fu now represents His Royal Highness King Rui. Even if you are a minister of the court, if the safety of King Rui is involved, no one except His Majesty must Put Prince Rui first! Including His Highness Prince Ning!"
Why doesn't Yao Ban know who this voice is
Has Wu Mian been following Jiang Yuanhan all this time
Does the emperor really intend to pass the throne to Jiang Yuanhan
Wen Qingzhu looked at him with a smile: "Master Yao, please cooperate with me."
"Okay!" Yao Ban reluctantly nodded after all.
When he arrived here, he knew clearly that his mission was a complete failure.
After Yao Ban was taken away, Wen Qingzhu directly detained everyone related to Yao Ban.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the royal guards came back carrying three corpses.
"Madam, they were people close to Master Yao. They tried to escape from Cangzhou, but failed and committed suicide in the end!"
Wen Qingzhu looked at the corpses on the ground and asked, "Are these three people the only ones?"
"There are three more people. They are among the people and are investigating one by one."
Wen Qingzhu expressed that he knew, and turned to Wu Mian and said, "The rest of the matter will be left to you. Mr. Hou and I have to leave first."
"Don't worry, madam." Wu Mian accepted the order, and his figure disappeared with the wind.
After dealing with Yao Ban, Wen Qingzhu looked at the door. At this time, Jiang Yan should take the initiative to come over.
After waiting for a while, two figures appeared at the door.
At this time, Jiang Yan had put on the clothes of ordinary people, and like Wu Xiaoge, was carrying a baggage.
After entering, as a civilian, he saluted Wen Qingzhu and others and said hello.
"Madam, the common people are willing to follow you to Beijing to plead guilty."
Wen Qingzhu smiled and met Jiang Yan's raised gaze.
The two people's eyes collided and they understood each other's meaning.
After repairing himself, Wen Qingzhu got into the carriage and prepared to travel.
In the government office, Jiang Yuanhan insisted on coming to see him off.
"Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?"
Jiang Yuanhan shook his head: "It's okay. Brother Mingxuan told me to come over tomorrow. I will resolve the matter in Cangzhou as soon as possible and follow my sister."
"Come here tomorrow? Why didn't he send me a message?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised.
Jiang Yuanhan immediately explained: "He is worried that you will stay for him. After all, it is better for Mr. Fu's body to be returned to the capital as soon as possible."
So does this.
Wen Qingzhu looked deeply at Jiang Yuanhan: "Take care of yourself."
"Don't worry, sister." Jiang Yuanhan laughed again, his smile as bright as spring in March.
Lu Tao lowered the car curtain, blocking the sight of the two people.
The team outside was quickly organized, and the carriage started to move.
As the Fu Jiajun slowly moved toward the city gate, the people who were originally at home slowly gathered on both sides.
While walking, Wen Qingzhu in the car heard crying outside.
Xi'er said happily: "Master Hou has won the hearts of the people in Cangzhou! It's great!"
Wen Qingzhu stretched out his hand, opened the corner of the car curtain, looked outside, and found that there were more and more people on the roadside.
Even those who were sick or injured came out when necessary.
They looked at the Fu Jiajun team, and people kept trying to give things to the soldiers.
But Fu Lie's request was that he would never accept anything from the common people.
So everything was sent back.
Even so, it still couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the people.
When Fu Lie was leaving the city gate, an old man suddenly knelt down with tears in his eyes and shouted: "Farewell to the Marquis of Pingguo! I hope you will live a long life and be blessed forever!"
Wen Qingzhu was very moved when he heard that the blessings were extended.
But the blessing that followed immediately made her frown.
This word is not used for meritorious officials!
She didn't even come to stop her. The people outside were already shouting.
Until they walked far away, Wen Qingzhu could still hear the shouts of the people.
Xi'er, who was very happy before, now started to worry.
Fu Lie's reputation was already high enough, and now Cangzhou ignored the emperor and worshiped him directly.
High achievements shake the master, this is something that has been taboo in all dynasties.
The ancestors of the Yang family also followed Taizu to conquer the world. After the second emperor, the military power of the Yang family began to be slowly divided.
However, the border is unstable. The Yang family is an indispensable main force, but it is still marginalized.
Finally, in Yang Shoucun's generation, the entire Yang family became the stepping stone for King Ning's line.
It seems that when I return to the capital this time, I will face a greater challenge - imperial power!
The night slowly darkened, and the Fu Jiajun set up camp on the spot.
After Wen Qingzhu got off the car, Yang Song stood in front of her.
"Qingzhu, I have something to tell you."
Wen Qingzhu and Yang Song stood side by side by the river where everyone was avoiding them.
"When we went out of the city today, the people chanted about this. What do you think?"
After Yang Song finished speaking, he looked sideways at Wen Qingzhu's expression.
She just smiled faintly: "How else can we look at it? Among all the people, half are the people who really thank him, and the other half are some people who are secretly trying to make him angry."
"What are your plans after returning to Beijing?" Yang Song asked again.
Wen Qingzhu turned his head, looked at Yang Song and said, "Uncle, you really don't have to worry about this. Fu Lie should have told you about the general situation in the capital. We are not alone. There may be more people supporting us."
But Yang Song's expression became more serious: "Qingzhu, you don't understand Yao Ban so well. From the moment he was caught calmly, we actually lost the opportunity."
"Oh? Uncle, you can tell me in detail." Wen Qingzhu was slightly surprised. Could it be that his actions were all expected by Yao Ban.
"But what I said, you can just use it as a reference."
Yang Song turned his head, looked at the river reflecting the moonlight again, and said solemnly: "Yao Ban is more powerful than we thought. Before anything happened to the Yang family, the most feared thing about him was that he was The turning point of the Cui family’s transition from prosperity to decline.”
"Huh? He still has something to do with the Cui family?" Wen Qingzhu suppressed his smile.
Mr. Cui, an old man from the Cui family, was a veteran of three dynasties, a person that even Jiang Yue did not dare to neglect easily.
According to the information she has learned so far, it seems that the Cui family is mainly because they have no capable descendants.
But it is impossible for the three generations below Mr. Cui to not have any capable descendants.
"Since Yao Ban appeared, haven't you noticed any changes in Cui Li?"
Wen Qingzhu thought about it carefully. She really didn't notice it and could only shake her head.
"The same goes for this. Cui Li seems to be easy to get along with, but in fact he is not a person who reveals his emotions easily. After all, the death of his brother, cousin, and father are all related to him."
"What is going on?" Wen Qingzhu never imagined that Yao Ban had such an important connection with the Cui family.
"It's a long story. Let me tell you briefly about the background of the Yao family first. The Yao family was a civil servant who followed Taizu. Later, it slowly declined. It was similar to the Wei family at its lowest point. But later, the Yao family Ban started serving as an official in the years just after the emperor ascended the throne, and the Yao family actually belonged to the first prince."
Wen Qingzhu's heart froze. Things were too chaotic back then, much more chaotic than they are now.
She listened quietly as Yang Song continued: "Our emperor, you know what kind of temper he is. The Yao family must be liquidated. Yao Ban has chosen a path that no one seems to be able to succeed at all."
"What way?"
Yang Song's tone suddenly became heavy: "Decades ago, the Yao family was kind to the Cui family. Yao Ban used this to fabricate the story of the Yao family and the Cui family conspiring to rebel. He wrote a secret letter and sent it to the emperor. Later, the emperor I was furious, and after conducting a secret investigation, I learned that the Yao family was indeed restless."
