There is one more piece of information that needs to be sent out overnight.

Coming out of Shen Jiaojiao's room, she glanced in the direction of Shen Cangyun's study and smiled coldly.

The information was stolen, and even if Shen Cangyun didn't die, he couldn't continue to be the prime minister.

When the Southern Chu army enters the plains in the south of Northern Qi, she and Shen Jiaojiao will both become heroes of Southern Chu, and they will be able to live in peace from now on.

The ghost doctor took a deep breath and sneakily left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

On the Jiaoyang Pavilion.

Shen Jiaojiao was so excited when she thought about her arrangements that she couldn't sleep. She lay on the bed and laughed sinisterly.

"Shen Cangyun, just as you forced my mother to death, tomorrow I will teach you how to kill your own daughter!"

"When the time comes, I'll see if you can still laugh!"

…

Shen Cangyun had a nightmare on the simple bed in the study.

In his dream, he was sitting in a dimly lit warehouse filled with a damp and moldy smell.

In the distance, a woman was tied up with iron chains.

He approached the woman with a knife in his hand, his expression extremely ferocious, "Tell me the whereabouts of the stolen money, or I will make you live a life worse than death."

"I don't know, I really don't know. I didn't steal the tax money. I'm just a pianist. I really don't know anything!"

The woman shook her head like a rattle, looking at him and shaking her head in fear.

The rattling of the iron chain made him feel a little excited for some reason, especially since the woman was wearing gold and silver and looked like the daughter of a wealthy family, which made him want to be more ruthless.

"You don't want to say it, right?"

Shen Cangyun snorted coldly, "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

With one cut, the woman's arm was broken.

What a lady from a noble family, what a precious treasure, but in the end, isn't she still in ruins?

Shen Cangyun felt a sense of depression in his heart dissipate.

Blood spurted out, and the woman screamed, looking miserable. “I really don’t know. Please don’t hurt me anymore!”

Shen Cangyun didn't know whether she really knew the whereabouts of the stolen silver.

However, the stolen silver must go somewhere so that the superiors can be given an explanation.

Moreover, the man had been captured and was already disabled. He would have no way to explain himself if he escaped alive, so he decided to go all out and chopped off the man's limbs and head and buried them on the spot in the cellar.

He felt like all the frustration that had been pent up in his chest for so many years was now released, and he actually felt refreshed.

He dug a hole on the spot and buried the man.

When burying the body, they accidentally discovered the place where the mercury was hidden, which was painted on the woman's back.

Later, he handed over 80% of the tax and pocketed the remaining 20%, which he then used to exile the Su family of Qinghe County.

Without the Su family, Su Wanyi was no longer a rich lady. She could only rely on him to get by and could no longer act like a rich lady.

With 20% of the tax silver, he himself became a rich man.

From then on, he made arrangements everywhere and was promoted all the way to the capital...

All the past events reappear in dreams as if they were real.

Shen Cangyun woke up from a nightmare and suddenly remembered many things from the past and couldn't fall asleep anymore.

The spy from Nanchu...

Qinghe County Su Family...

Why did he suddenly dream of this after so many years?

He turned his head and glanced at the portrait hanging on the wall.

The portrait did not look like Su Wanyi, that was intentional.

He came from a humble family. His father was a farmhand and his mother was a cripple. His original surname was not Shen but Zhao.

Because he didn't live a good life, he hated people who lived a good life the most. Especially when he was an adult and was looking for a marriage partner, the matchmaker searched all the girls in the surrounding area, but the girls either despised his poor family or his incompetence.

In the end, the kiss didn't happen and everyone laughed at them.

Later, he had no choice but to go to Qinghe County.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Shen Rui, the newly appointed magistrate of Qinghe County, who fell into the river and died, and his subordinates were unable to report to the emperor.

He felt that he was 50% similar to Shen Rui, so he volunteered to exchange the fake for the real.

The people escorting Shen Rui were afraid of being exiled. If they could get away with it by following him, they could even get a job as a yamen runner in the county government.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

From then on, he changed his name and became the county magistrate of Qinghe County.

But even after becoming a county magistrate, he still had an inferiority complex in his bones. Instead, he was like a maggot in the darkness: the deeper he buried himself, the more noisy he became.

On the one hand, he hopes to find a noble lady to help him rise to the top.

On the other hand, whenever I see a woman like this, I can't help but feel hatred.

It was in such a complicated mood that he met Su Wanyi.

On the one hand, he was attracted by her brilliant smile, but on the other hand, he hated that she came from a better family than him. With such a conflicting mentality, even their love became full of calculation.

While he was calculating, he enjoyed the pleasure of gaining and the pleasure of destroying at the same time.

But in essence, he doesn't love Su Wanyi.

After Su Wanyi's death, he did not marry for so many years, not because he loved her, but because he still could not face a woman of slightly higher status, but he felt ashamed to marry a commoner.

In fact, he deliberately approached Su Wanyi and secretly set a trap to make her lose her virginity to him and have children with him because he had his eyes on the canal transport wharf in Qinghe County.

But the other members of the Su family disagreed with this matter.

It was his move to use the tax and silver case to send away the other members of the Su family and exile them to the distant northern border.

He thought he could take this opportunity to seize control of the dock.

After all, he is the only son-in-law of the Su family.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after this incident, people from the prefecture and county came and issued an iron order, and the water transport in Qinghe County was directly incorporated into the hands of the Jiangnan Bai family.

The Bai family is the late queen’s maternal family.

Even if the former queen died, there is still the crown prince to support her.

He is no match.

In that matter, he actually gained nothing except the 20% tax silver he embezzled.

Su Wanyi's move was a failure.

only……

How come after so many years, I dreamed about that tragically dead woman and the tax case again?

He still remembered that after killing her, he framed her as a singing girl and sold her maid and child to a prostitute...

Now that I think about it, that child should be about the same age as Shen Yu.

At least, he's in his twenties.

Shen Cangyun was thinking about all these things in a mess and couldn't fall asleep anymore.

He lit the lamp, stood up, walked to the desk, and somehow found another portrait.

If the ghost doctor was present at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize that it was her own portrait!

…

The wind and snow are blowing but people are still awake.

Amidst the surging undercurrent, a dark figure returned to Rong Yan and whispered, "Your Highness, we have obtained the details of the tax case. When will we deliver it to the Third Prince?"

"After what happens tomorrow."

Rong Yan's study was pitch black.

He didn't sleep either, but just stared quietly at the slightly glowing window.

"After tomorrow, the news that Shen Cangyun tortured and killed Shen Ruyi will spread throughout the capital. I will ask my father to issue an order to have Ruyi completely sever ties with the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Wait until then before we take action."

To avoid implicating Shen Ruyi when he goes to jail.

The black shadow sighed when he heard this, "I really didn't expect that Shen Cangyun used such dirty tricks to climb up this path."
