Chapter 394 He Confessed Everything

The Taoist boy next to him looked at Master Qingyun's dark face and asked quickly:

"Real man, what's wrong?"

True Man Qingyun: "Being imprisoned, vitality is fading. This is the hexagram of being trapped. Great disaster is about to come. A decision must be made."

The Taoist boy asked blankly: "What do you mean?"

Master Qingyun patted his head and said, "Just pack up your things and run away."

Taoist boy: "But, aren't you going to help the King of Xiliang achieve his great cause? How can you leave without saying goodbye?"

True Man Qingyun: "You are right. I cannot leave without saying goodbye! So, I will leave a letter for the King of Xiliang. Go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone quickly!"

Taoist boy: “…Yes.”

True Man Qingyun packed up his things, left a letter, and quickly left the capital of Xiliang.

Here, the King of Xiliang was talking to Fang Jie gloomily:

"Did Qin Chi do this on purpose? He actually made Duanmu Jin a princess? Then next time when he wants to wage war against Xiliang, will he let Duanmu Jin come back to attack us?"

You know, Duanmu Jin was a female general of Xiliang before.

Fang Jie said calmly, "Who told you to send a female general to Da Chu to marry?"

The King of Xiliang said gloomily, "Who made Duanmu Jin refuse to be my concubine? Besides, their Duanmu family has obviously fallen into decline, with only one woman left, yet they are still unwilling to hand over their military power."

Although he had originally planned to poison Duanmu Jin and wait until today's opportunity to launch a war against Da Chu, the King of Xiliang was somewhat reluctant.

But later on he thought that letting Duanmu Jin go to marry would, on the one hand, completely take back the military power of the Duanmu family, and on the other hand, it would also be able to resolve the issues in the palace of the Queen of Xiliang at that time.

Duanmu Jin is not the biological sister of King Xiliang, but the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother of Xiliang.

The King of Xiliang and his men had never thought that after so many years, Qin Chi would actually let Duanmu Jin go to the battlefield?

Isn’t Duanmu Jin his concubine?

Now, she was given the title of a princess, a mansion was built for her, and her title was allowed to be hereditary!

In other words, Duanmu Jin can adopt a son or daughter, and then give them the surname Duanmu, and they can also inherit her title in the future!

In addition, Xu Mu was captured, and the King of Xiliang became more and more anxious.

He asked Fang Jie nervously, "Doctor Fang, do you think Da Chu is going to attack Xiliang? Should we strike first?"

Fang Jie was helpless, "Your Majesty, don't panic, it's not that serious yet."

At this moment, the servant outside handed over a letter with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the real person."

The King of Xiliang took the letter and said speechlessly, "Why write a letter? If you have something to say, just say it directly."

Then he opened the letter, read it quickly, and was completely dumbfounded.

The letter in his hand fell to the ground.

Fang Jie felt something was wrong. He picked up the letter and read it. His brows knitted together. "Why would the Master suddenly want to travel at this critical moment?"

The King of Xiliang stood up and said, "No! Absolutely not!"

"What if Da Chu attacks Xiliang at this time?"

"I still need the real person to tell my fortune. Quick, prepare a fast horse and chase the real person!"

The attendant had a complicated expression, "Your Majesty, the real person left early yesterday morning. We have no idea where he went. If we chase him now, we probably won't be able to catch up with him."

King Xiliang: "What?!"

**

Qianji Pavilion, headquarters.

Bai Lansheng silently handed the letter in his hand to Chen Shuo next to him.

"Statement, go and arrange this."

Chen Shuo picked up the letter and read it. "Master Qingyun? This person is highly respected and many Taoist temples treat him with courtesy. It is said that he is very accurate in observing the stars and fortune-telling."

"Do we really want to arrest this man?"

Bai Lansheng nodded, "Since Qing Ning said he wanted to arrest this person, then this person must be worth arresting."

Chen Shu sighed, "Master, can't you let it go?"

Bai Lansheng: "I'm different from you. She is worth it, but the person you like is not."

Chen Shu: "But Luofu is married, so it's impossible for you to be together in this life."

Bai Lansheng: "Then in the next life, or the life after that? What if I have a chance in that life?"

statement:"……"

At this moment, Deputy Pavilion Master Baili Xiao came in from outside and asked in confusion:

"Master, what are you talking about?"

Bai Lansheng: "Let's talk about the new assignment. Go and capture a Taoist priest named Qingyun Zhenren and send him to the capital of Da Chu."

After hearing this, Baili Xiao immediately became interested.

"It's actually a Taoist priest? Well, will he figure it out? Should we catch him?"

Bai Lansheng thought about it and said, "Maybe, but that would be more interesting, wouldn't it?"

Several people smiled at each other.

This is a rather challenging business for Qianji Pavilion.

Baili Xiao: "Master, how about the commission?"

Bai Lansheng finally had a genuine smile on his face. "The commission is quite high, and you can also help us open up a canal transportation line, so that we can have smooth transportation in the future."

Baili Xiao: "Pavilion Master, I will take people to capture that Qingyun Master immediately!"

Bai Lansheng nodded.

He would do anything for lime.

However, he can also take advantage of Qin Jingyu, which is also for the good of Qianji Pavilion, so he will certainly not be polite!

A few days later, the reply from Qianji Pavilion arrived on the desk in Qin Jingyu's study.

However, he was currently in the Dali Temple's prison.

Xu Mu had just been fed the medicine and the symptoms had not yet started to show.

His body was covered with signs of severe torture, but this man was extremely strong and no matter what method was used, no one could pry open his mouth.

Xu Mu spat out a mouthful of blood foam, "Qin Jingyu, I advise you to give up. You can't get anything out of me. I know nothing."

Qin Jingyu: "The more you say this, the more I guess you know some secret."

"Also, who gave you the face-changing technique?"

Xu Mu's eyes paused, and he sneered, "I don't know what you are talking about."

In fact, Duanmu Jin was also here. She was from Xiliang, but she didn’t know Xu Mu. However, judging from their ages, they should be not much different.

Or maybe Xu Mu gradually went to the King of Xiliang after Duanmu Jin came to Da Chu to marry?

However, there must be something special about this person, otherwise why would the King of Xiliang trust him so much?

Doctor Bai came over and said to Qin Jingyu, "Your Highness, let me study his face later."

If he were given time, he would be able to figure out whether this face-changing technique was done by his old friend Dongfang Zhu or his unsuccessful junior brother Fang Jie!

There was a hint of unnaturalness in Xu Mu's eyes.

Because he recognized that the silver-haired old man in front of him was the famous Doctor Bai.

But he could do nothing now, not even committing suicide, so he could only control himself and not confess no matter what.

If the other party waits until he dies and then studies his face, he really has no way to deal with it.

Xu Mu fell silent, but he felt dizzy.

He tried hard to stay clear-headed, but suddenly found with horror that he couldn't even bite the tip of his tongue to keep himself clear-headed?

Xu Mu looked at Qin Jingyu in horror, "What did you do to me?"

Qin Jingyu looked at him quietly until his eyes became fixed, and then he let Ouyang Rui and others start interrogating him.

Xu Mu had indeed used the face-changing technique, and there was no need for Doctor Bai to study it. After taking the medicine, Xu Mu became open-minded and told everyone he knew everything.

This is quite surprising.

Unexpectedly, he was very tight-lipped when he was awake, but after taking the medicine, the interrogation was much simpler and easier than that of Sun Fuhai.

"My real name is Duanmu Hao."

Duanmu Jin stood up suddenly.

Because the name Duanmu Hao was originally the name of the youngest half-brother in their Duanmu family...

So, it was Duanmu Hao who betrayed the Duanmu family?

The interrogation here is still going on.

Doctor Bai's younger brother Fang Jie, Qingyun Zhenren, and King of Xiliang became sworn brothers at first sight because of an accident when they were young.

Then they began a plan that lasted for more than 20 years.

Fang Jie and Qingyun Zhenren want to help the King of Xiliang become the overlord of this continent...

They have done so many things.

Xu Mu even talked until his mouth was dry, but he couldn't stop.

Qin Jingyu asked someone to record the incident. He and Ouyang Rui took turns interrogating Xu Mu, and from time to time they could ask Duanmu Jin to add some questions.

However, when it came to True Man Qingyun, Xu Mu told the story of how True Man Qingyun had bewitched the Queen Mother, how many spies he had planted in Da Chu over the years, and how he had plotted to murder Queen Yuan...

Doctor Bai had already learned about this from Sun Fuhai, but he remained calm.

But everyone else, except Qin Jingyu, was shocked.

It turns out that Empress Yuan was killed by the Queen Mother?

Even Duanmu Jin temporarily forgot about the traitor in the family. She was extremely surprised.

Everyone knows how important Empress Yuan was to Emperor Minghe, and how Empress Jiang loved her sister... But it turned out that Empress Yuan was not killed because of an acute illness due to jealousy of beauty, but was murdered by someone?

Is the Queen Mother the mastermind behind this?

Moreover, that curse was so terrible that it could cause a person to die of illness without anyone noticing?

After being shocked, everyone finally understood why there were rumors recently that the Queen Mother had been banished to the cold palace.

The Cui family members united with other ministers and planned to report to the emperor, asking him to release the empress dowager.

After all, throughout history, there has never been a case of a empress dowager being banished to the cold palace.

It’s just that Emperor Minghe has always avoided talking about this matter, and the Cui family probably can’t hold it back anymore.

Now it seems that His Majesty and the Crown Prince have long known what the Queen Mother did...

At this time, Qin Jingyu said to the person who was recording the confession: "Record it, Queen Mother Cui colluded with Xiliang and intended to rebel."

The official who was taking notes felt the brush in his hand tremble.

He looked at Ouyang Rui for help.

Ouyang Rui: "Cui has colluded with the Xiliang people for many years and has planted so many spies in Da Chu. She has also attempted to murder concubines and heirs many times, and even attempted to murder Your Majesty.

"To cause chaos in the harem, he must be working with spies. We need to continue investigating. There must be other crimes in the past few decades."

"His crime is punishable by death!"

The final conclusion.

Everyone understood:

Queen Mother Cui, she can't survive...
