Chapter 345: Yun Chu is truly foresighted
The Medicine King looked at the beige pill on the table, crushed one, and brought it to his nose and sniffed it.
Jiang Rumin spread a prescription on the table, "Here is the formula for the Worry-Free Pill. The imperial doctors have tried many methods a few years ago, but none of them worked. Although my power is limited, I still want to try again."
"Senior, you are knowledgeable and experienced. With your help, perhaps we can really solve it?"
After Jiang Rumin finished speaking, Zhong Nanyan took over the conversation, "Yes, Dad, you can help Rumin figure it out. If even you can't do anything, those addicts can only wait to die. There are many children who eat this poison as if it were candy. By the time they realize there is a problem, it is already too late to quit."
"I came out of the valley to look for Nan Yan this time, and I didn't plan to go back too soon. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so if I can help you solve your problem, I will be happy to do so."
The Medicine King stroked his beard and said, "Are there any patients around here who have been poisoned by the Worry-Free Pill? Bring them here for me to take a look. I want to see how powerful the medicinal properties of Lao Shenzi's Worry-Free Pill are."
…
Two days passed in a flash.
That afternoon, King Kang received good news from his subordinates.
"Your Highness, yesterday afternoon, the Youzhou government received an order from their superiors to escort the Wang family to the imperial city for interrogation. On the way, they were successfully silenced by our people."
"Very good," King Kang replied, "Only the dead can keep secrets."
The Wang family was able to withstand the interrogation of the Youzhou government not because they were so loyal, but because they were also afraid of death.
Since they have been exposed, the easiest thing to do is to silence them. He doesn't dare to bet that they can save themselves, and there is no need to bet.
If he guessed correctly, Jun Tianyi would cause him more trouble next time.
Once the merchants under him get their business back on track, he won't have to fear that guy's denunciation anymore. If he gets the chance, he will definitely send that guy to see the King of Hell!
…
That night.
Inside the elegant house, there is a faint scent of tea lingering around.
"A Luo, let me tell you something interesting."
Song Yunchu took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Jun Liluo. "The Wang family was just silenced yesterday afternoon. This evening, I received a new letter of accusation outside my house. This time, the accusation was about Mao County in Qinzhou, which is adjacent to Youzhou. The letter said that the richest man in Mao County was also involved in this evil business."
Jun Liluo took the letter and read it, then said leisurely, "It is indeed quite interesting."
"He leaked the information to me intentionally, cut off the clues, and then leaked the information to me again. People who don't know would think he was playing a trick on me, but when you think about it carefully, it's obvious that he was playing a trick on the supplier behind the scenes." Song Yunchu found it a little funny.
There was no loss for her if she couldn't catch the man, and her men would just have made a wasted trip. But for the supplier, it was like dancing on a cliff, and he would fall down if he was not careful.
She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then said leisurely, "Tell me, if I go to capture the richest man in Mao County again and he dies on the road again, will the messenger give me new clues?"
"Do you want to try it?"
"Then give it a try, but before that, I'll take you to meet a few people."
Jun Li Luo was brought by Song Yunchu to the small courtyard in the north of the palace.
There was a light in a house ahead. The two men walked outside. Song Yunchu pushed open the door, and Jun Liluo saw four people in the house, lying on a haystack with their hands and feet chained, with scars all over their bodies, looking in a miserable state.
Hu Erniang was originally sitting at a small table eating melon seeds. Looking at the two people outside the house, she hurried forward to pay her respects.
"How are these four people doing?" Song Yunchu asked.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. They won't die. The Youzhou authorities knew we were going to interrogate them, so they didn't dare to use harsh measures. They stopped beating them when they were almost done. The reason they looked like they were dead was because they were shaken by the carriage along the way. We have boiled some medicine for them to drink, and they will soon have the strength to speak again."
Upon hearing this, Jun Liluo turned to Song Yunchu and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Wang family?"
He guessed what was going on almost immediately.
"Yes, those who were killed by the assassin were not members of the Wang family. They were several death row prisoners who were disguised as members of the Wang family by Qianmian Langjun."
Song Yunchu said, "The Wang family had their food poisoned while they were in prison, which shows that the person behind the scenes didn't intend to let them live. He wouldn't just do it once. Sure enough, after failing to poison them, he came to assassinate them again. Fortunately, I asked Second Mother to switch them out the night before."
"Should I say that Yun Chu is really foresighted?" Jun Li Luo's eyes lit up with a smile, "No matter how cunning these people are, they can't beat you."
"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment."
As the two were talking, a young man lying on the ground slowly woke up.
"Oh, one of you is awake." Hu Erniang walked to the side of the man. "It's good that you are awake. You have escaped death, so you should tell the truth."
The man looked at her, his eyes still a little hazy.
Hu Erniang helped him up. "Doing business in the Worry-Free Pill is a capital crime, but we have a saying about making up for one's crime with meritorious service. If you confess enough facts, you may be able to avoid death."
"You know, your family is already dead in the eyes of the world. Four prisoners sentenced to death were escorted to the imperial city in your place, but they were killed not long after leaving Youzhou. Do you think you can survive if you can withstand the interrogation of the Youzhou government? The people behind you don't want you to live."
The man lowered his eyes and tightened the chain in his hand.
At this point, he no longer believed King Kang, nor did he trust the woman around him.
Once they confess the truth, they will no longer be of any use and will have no choice but to die.
It would be better to... fight to the death!
Thinking of this, he raised the chain in his hand and was about to put it around Hu Erniang's neck!
Hu Erniang raised her hand to grab the chain and swung him aside. "What's wrong with your brain? You're covered in wounds and you still want to hold me hostage! The person behind you doesn't care about your life or death at all, but you're still willing to work for him, right?"
"Okay, Second Mother, why bother to be angry with him. I don't think he wants to work for others, he just wants to hold on to his last bit of value and live as long as he can."
As Song Yunchu spoke, he pulled a chair from the table and sat down in front of the man.
"Second Mother, you have worked hard these past two days. Go and take a rest. I will come and talk to him."
…
It was not until midnight that Song Yunchu and Jun Liluo came out of the interrogation room.
After returning to his house, Song Yunchu asked the person next to him, "How are you going to deal with this matter?"
"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant." Jun Liluo sneered, then raised his eyes to look at Song Yunchu. Seeing her deep eyes, he couldn't help but smile, then held her wrist and pulled her in front of him.
"Does Yun Chu want to make a contribution?"
"Of course, this is a good opportunity for me to add political achievements."
Song Yunchu took Jun Liluo's shoulder and said, "However, I need your Majesty to cooperate with me. You may suffer a little loss."
Jun Liluo heard this and said calmly: "It can not only eliminate harm for the people, but also benefit you. There is no loss that I cannot bear."
"Your Majesty is so wise and righteous, I am deeply grateful to you."
"If you really feel it, stop talking nonsense." Jun Liluo said softly, "It's late at night. It's too tiring to talk while standing. It's better to talk while lying down."
"Yeah, let's go to bed then."
