Chapter 112 It's a Child
Su Xing and Ye Lingchen hurried to Ye Linghan's bedroom, and as soon as they entered, they saw a person kneeling in the room.
There was no color on the man's face, his eyes were filled with fear, cold sweat kept oozing out of his forehead, and even his eyebrows were wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
Su Xing guessed that this should be the traitor.
Why is he here?
When Ye Linghan heard the footsteps, he looked up at the two of them, and they immediately bowed to him.
"Royal brother."
"Meet the Regent."
Ye Linghan did not respond, but turned his gaze back to the kneeling man and asked coldly: "Have you thought about it?"
Su Xing didn't dare to disturb them and quietly stepped aside to watch. Ye Lingchen was no exception.
The man trembled for a long time before he managed to utter: "I will tell you... I will tell you everything..."
This sentence seemed to have exhausted all his strength. After a while, he continued: "At the beginning, I didn't know what they wanted me to do... When I found out... there was no way out..."
At this point, he began to sob.
Ye Linghan felt annoyed when he heard this, and an aura of impatience suddenly emanated from his body.
The man shuddered, wiped his tears, and continued: "I only know that every time the person who came to contact me was a child. As for who he gave the information to, I really don't know..."
Is it a child?
Everyone, including Su Xing, was stunned. The contact person turned out to be a child.
Who would instruct a child to do such a thing?
The man felt the suspicious gazes of the crowd and cursed and swore: "Regent, what I said is true. I swear to heaven!"
Although everyone was still suspicious, at this point, there was really no need for this person to lie.
"Where did you meet?" Ye Linghan asked again.
"In..." The man hesitated for a while before saying guiltily: "In my home..."
Everyone was shocked again. At home?
Su Xing suddenly thought of something, and without bothering to ask, he asked directly: "You have children at home, right?"
It took the man a while to figure out where Su Xing was. He turned around and took a look, then replied timidly, "Yes, yes."
Ye Linghan instantly understood Su Xing's intention and shouted coldly, "He pretended to be your son's playmate and came to your house to get information?"
The man nodded weakly: "Yes..."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
They actually came up with such a way to pass on the message. No wonder Ying Er was not discovered in the palace for so long.
"What about today's news? Did you give it to him too?" Every word Ye Linghan spoke was filled with a strong sense of oppression.
The man shuddered violently, his lips moved for a long time but he couldn't say anything, and finally he nodded weakly.
Su Xing knew why the traitor was here.
Their original plan was to follow the traitor to find the person he was in contact with, and then follow that person to find the person behind the scenes.
I guess the traitor went straight home and came back as if nothing had happened. There was no so-called contact at all, so they arrested him directly.
"What is the identity of that child?" Ye Lingchen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
Su Xing didn't have any expectations for this question. Since he was just delivering a message, his identity would definitely not be revealed easily.
Sure enough, the man shook his head vigorously: "I don't know..."
Su Xing was disappointed. He thought it was a good idea, but it turned out to be a waste of time...
He suddenly felt deeply frustrated.
Out of habit, he would always look at Ye Linghan when he was confused. Even though their relationship was different now, he did not change this habit.
Ye Linghan's expression didn't change at all, he didn't even look angry.
He continued to stare at the traitor and asked, "How did you do that Wuxin thing?"
Su Xing was stunned. He didn't understand Ye Linghan's intention, but he still pricked up his ears.
The man was stunned for a while, as if he was recalling something. After a moment, he said, "That day, when I returned home... I saw the child. He asked me to take a letter to the prisoner. I secretly gave it to the prisoner while the guard Tianyi was going to the bathroom..."
"Have you read the contents of the letter?" Ye Linghan asked.
The man shook his head again: "No..."
"Did he tell you anything else when he handed it to you?" Ye Linghan was rarely so patient during an interrogation.
The man thought about it again, and suddenly said, "Yes!"
"He told me to hand over the letter before noon, and said if I missed the deadline, my whole family would die."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately fell into deep thought.
Su Xing didn't understand why it had to be before noon. Wouldn't it be okay after noon?
Noon···
He suddenly remembered that the emperor was poisoned at noon that day!
He first looked at Ye Linghan, who happened to ask at this moment: "What does the child look like?"
"Looks...very blessed...you can tell at first glance that you are from a wealthy family..."
Ye Linghan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Call a painter."
Everyone didn't understand what the point of Ye Linghan doing this was. A child, not to mention it would be difficult to find, even if they did find him, it would be impossible to interrogate him like a criminal.
However, Su Xing felt that Ye Linghan must have his own reasons for doing this, and a sense of inexplicable anticipation arose in his heart.
The painter came quickly and painted the portrait even faster.
He handed the finished portrait to Ye Linghan. Ye Linghan only took a glance at it, then curled the corners of his lips into a cold smile.
That smile made everyone feel creepy, as if there was something terrifying and chilling in it.
Ye Lingchen was extremely curious. He stepped forward to take a look and was immediately shocked and took several steps back.
Su Xing was frightened by Ye Lingchen's actions, and he couldn't help but walk forward.
Ye Linghan saw him coming and handed the portrait to him directly.
Su Xing took it at a loss, looked down, and suddenly froze in place.
No wonder Ye Lingchen reacted so strongly, no wonder this child could be the contact person.
Because, he is Ye Lingrui!
how so···
Su Xing really didn't expect this result...
Not to mention how Ye Lingrui left the palace to receive the news, the fact that he was involved in this matter is enough to shock people.
Was it Xia Yunxi who asked him to do this?
If so, then Xia Yunxi is simply too abominable.
But if not... Su Xing didn't dare to think further, he turned his gaze to Ye Linghan again.
Ye Linghan actually looked at him but didn't say anything.
After a long while, he suddenly said, "I will go to the palace for a while."
After saying that, he looked at Ying Yi and Ying Er and said, "You come with me, take him with you!"
He glanced at the people on the ground.
"Yes!" Yingyi picked up the man with one hand and walked towards the door first.
Su Xing also wanted to go, but Ye Linghan didn't say anything, so he was too embarrassed to mention it and could only stare at Ye Linghan's back.
At this moment, Ye Linghan suddenly turned his head and looked at Ye Lingchen: "I just received a letter from the Emperor of Yue Country. I haven't had time to read it yet. You'd better not cause any trouble in Yue Country, otherwise you know what the consequences will be."
