Then, Wen Qingzhu lifted his chin vigorously, making sure that he swallowed it before letting go.
Soon, Li Wei's stomach began to have a fever, and he felt a numb and stiff feeling, making him feel dizzy and vomiting.
"Your Li family only has one son, Li Ran. You must have doubts about who Xia Feiyuan's child belongs to. That child doesn't look like Li Du at all. You should think about it carefully. Before the medicine takes effect, if you are willing to cooperate , I will help you save Li Ran, and at the same time promise you that before you die, Yao Bangeng will die first."
After saying this, Wen Qingzhu turned around and left.
As soon as he stepped out of the cell door, Li Wei's hoarse voice came: "I am willing to cooperate, please save Ran'er."
Wen Qingzhu, who had his back turned to him, smiled. It seemed that to kill someone, you really had to kill your heart first.
"You wait first, I'll go find Su Huo and come over."
Wen Qingzhu turned his head and saw Su Huo already standing in the corridor, with the shadow covering most of his body.
However, a pair of eyes were still exposed, looking at her very complicatedly.
Wen Qingzhu walked over, stood beside him and said, "I helped you interrogate him. The only information he revealed was about Yao Ban. Remember to write to me."
"Okay." Su Huo closed his eyes and responded to her.
Wen Qingzhu was about to leave when Su Huo turned around and asked again: "Is the poison you gave him really poisonous?"
"Master Su." Wen Qingzhu tilted his head and looked over with a different kind of provocation in his eyes, "When did all the wisdom and martial arts in you disappear? Is it because I am in front of you?"
Su Huo's expression froze, and he wanted to ask questions, but saw Wen Qingzhu striding away, raising his hand and waving behind his back.
After a moment, Su Huo laughed at himself. Wen Qingzhu was almost dying in Cangzhou, so there was no time to develop poison.
He walked to the door of Li's cell and looked directly at the groggy Li Wei, who was constantly gagging and his movements seemed stiff and slow.
After thinking for a while, Su Huo instantly remembered that there was a strong medicine that could dispel cold and dampness. It was especially useful in such a dark and humid prison.
However, this medicine has a side effect, which is that it makes people feel drowsy and the body often feels numb.
Su Huo finally understood, pushed open the cell, walked up to Li Wei, and asked him: "Are you willing to explain now?"
"Of course, but I want to see my son intact." Li Wei used his last strength to raise his head and said to Su Huo.
Three days later, two things shocked the capital.
One thing is that a large number of victims in Cannes formed a wall of human flesh, stepped on the corpses of countless victims, and crawled into Cannes.
Another thing is that the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have released documents to clarify the Yang family's charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Marquis Jingyuan falsely accused the loyal ministers of murdering them and deceived the superiors. He should be punished for his crime. Now he is ordered to raid his house and issue a wanted order to arrest his party members. , beheaded at the Meridian Gate seven days later.
Sitting in the study in the front yard of Ning's house, Wen Qingzhu had a pile of letters in his hands.
She was reading one letter after another, her face getting darker and darker.
Until she saw a letter signed Yan.
Wen Qingzhu opened the letter and found that it was written by Jiang Yan.
She immediately stood up and called Beidou outside the door: "Come in."
Beidou came in immediately, and Wen Qingzhu took out a map and handed it to him and said, "You go to this place tonight."
Then he took out another portrait: "As soon as it gets dark, you will arrest this person, do you know?"
Beidou took the map and portrait and looked at them carefully.
A quarter of an hour later, he returned the things and nodded.
That night, the maid brought dinner over and said: "Young master, my wife's health has been much better these days. Second young master asked your servant to ask you, are you free to see him tonight?"
"It's good that Madam is in good health. Go and tell the Second Young Master that I'm not free tonight and ask him to take good care of his mother. After work, he should go home quickly and don't hang out outside."
"Yes." The maid looked at Wen Qingzhu disappointedly and could only turn around and retreat.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and took off his mask before starting to eat.
Just after eating, Beidou appeared in front of him with a man on his shoulders.
This person was Jiang Yan. Beidou held his collar and tapped his acupoint to wake him up.
Jiang Yan shook his head, slowly opened his eyes, and saw Wen Qingzhu, who was wearing a long scholar's shirt, sitting in front of him, and asked him with a smile: "What's the matter?"
Hearing Wen Qingzhu's figure, Jiang Yan suddenly woke up and quickly knelt down.
But the person who was caught by the collar immediately had his neck stuck, making him unable to breathe, and his face suddenly turned red.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "Let him go."
Beidou then let go of Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan couldn't stand still in time and fell to the ground with a thud, which made him burst into tears.
But he didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly got up and knelt down obediently: "I have met Madam."
"Go ahead." Wen Qingzhu was in a good mood today and didn't say much.
Jiang Yan naturally felt her good mood, and he relaxed a little, and said frankly: "Madam, the Yang family's case is finally over, and the common people have redeemed themselves and completed their tasks. This time I will write to Madam, Yes...I want to..."
"Want to leave the capital?" Wen Qingzhu spoke up for him.
This sentence frightened Jiang Yan to put his head on the ground and replied nervously: "Yes, the Runan Palace has fallen, and the common people are just common people. They pose no threat to Madam or Your Majesty. Use a beautiful courtyard to lock up the common people." , it’s really not worth it.”
"Whether it's worth it or not is not up to me." Wen Qingzhu looked at Jiang Yan in front of him, thinking of the letter he received yesterday, his eyes immediately turned dark.
"Jiang Yan, I thought you would come over and tell me what Yao Ban has deployed in Cangzhou? Unexpectedly, you want to leave the capital?"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yan's blood ran cold and his breathing stagnated.
How did Wen Qingzhu know that he had been in contact with Yao Ban
When she was in Cangzhou, she didn't find anything at all
"There is no airtight wall in this world, unless you are the only one who knows about it."
Wen Qingzhu stood up, walked to Jiang Yan, took out a piece of letter paper, and sent it to Jiang Yan.
Under the warm yellow light, on the black paper, it was written clearly:
The incident in Cangzhou was not completely over. The first thing Yao Ban did when he arrived in Cangzhou was to contact Jiang Yan. After obtaining first-hand information, he immediately sent him back to the capital.
King Ning immediately told Li Wei the news. He was worried that Fu Lie could not solve the problem in Cangzhou, so he secretly sent people to support Yao Ban. Before they arrived, the matter had been solved.
At present, there are still Prince Ning's men in Cangzhou. At that time, three teams of troops were chasing and intercepting him. You directly threatened Yao Ban's life, and then the crisis was quickly resolved.
According to King Ning's wishes, or to be precise, it was the Emperor's wishes to drive out all the witch clans.
Many children born to Daqi and Wu tribesmen in the city were still counted as Wu tribesmen, even if they were registered in the Han household registration, and were assassinated uniformly.
However, there were still several Wu clan members around King Rui, who were heavily guarded and it was difficult to take action. Yao Ban insisted on taking action, and even used himself as bait to take away Fu Lie's main force.
Unexpectedly, the number of secret guards around King Rui exceeded expectations. They tried their best to protect the five witch clan members, and finally killed a man and a woman. King Rui took Hu Sen away, and another remnant of the witch clan was injured. Seriously injured, but with extremely high martial arts skills, he took away the little girl from the Wu tribe.
According to the news left by Jiang Yan, a remnant of the Wu clan with extremely high martial arts skills was named Beidou. He was a night watchman. If he was not eliminated as soon as possible, there would be trouble in the future, so the killers chose to hunt down Beidou and the little girl from the Wu clan.
Unexpectedly, Beidou of the Wu clan is immune to all poisons and is extremely fast, joining the Fu family army. At this point, the mission has failed.
Five days later, Jiang Yan left a message that Ping Hui, the daughter of Long Dai, was still in Cangzhou. He suggested staying in Cangzhou and plotting an assassination in Xu Xu to avoid future troubles.
After returning to Beijing, Yao Ban accepted Jiang Yan's suggestion and began to deploy people in Cangzhou, spreading rumors secretly to make the emperor suspicious of Fu Lie. At the same time, he sent people to the Cangyun Mountains to search for the survivors of the Wu tribe, and gradually brainwashed them to hate the garrison. A Daqi official in Cangzhou plotted a follow-up assassination—
At this point, the words written on this piece of paper are over.
Jiang Yan's thinking had stopped, and he had no way out.
"Are you thinking that there is no way out now?" Wen Qingzhu stood up and returned to the table to sit down.
She didn't quite understand why Jiang Yan wanted to help Yao Ban
"I helped you get rid of Long Dai and gave you a chance to atone for your crimes, but what about you? You chose to cooperate with Yao Ban earlier, and even had close contacts with him after returning to Beijing. Do you think Do I really dare not kill you?"
Jiang Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, slowly raised his head, and looked at her with resentful eyes: "Get rid of Long Dai? Isn't that what you wanted to do in the first place?"
Wen Qingzhu didn't speak, but listened quietly to him as he continued: "Why should I atone for my sins? What's my fault? What have I done wrong? My father is dead? My mother is also dead? The crown prince's position has not been preserved. What did I get again?"
"Then what do you want?" Wen Qingzhu remembered that Jiang Yan had been honest with her when they were in Cangzhou.
"I just want my parents to live! I don't have to be a pawn anymore! It was Lord Yao who gave me the chance! Not you Wen Qingzhu!"
Jiang Yan's eyes widened with anger, and he pounded the ground with both hands. Even though his hands were in severe pain from the shock, they still couldn't withstand the pain in his heart.
After listening to his words, Wen Qingzhu looked into his eyes and saw the longing in his heart. It was not a desire for relatives, but a passion for power.
A mocking smile appeared on Wen Qingzhu's face: "But if I remember correctly, your position as heir apparent was obtained by betraying your father to find Long Dai? What? You forgot so quickly?"
Jiang Yan's expression froze, but he heard Wen Qingzhu expose his hypocritical mask one by one: "You know how your mother died. If you really can't bear to implicate her, you can let her go early, but You didn't, just because Maomao is not afraid of your mother and is willing to get close to your mother, and you think this is an opportunity."
Jiang Yan slowly calmed down his emotions, and his eyes became calm and sincere, just like when he was in Cangzhou, he chose to cooperate with Wen Qingzhu.
But in just two months, things have changed too much.
"Indeed, you are right. I am not very sad about the death of my parents, but you should retain the title of King Runan and let it disappear completely."
Wen Qingzhu looked at him with some pity: "It seems that you really don't understand what imperial power means. The purpose of the existence of the Runan Palace in the past was to suppress the Wu Clan. Now that the Wu Clan has been eliminated, even the civil and military officials are opposed to taking back the Runan Palace. Although he has the title of King Nan, Jiang Yue will still do this. If King Ning ascends the throne, what do you think the first thing he will do?"
