Chapter 783 They already knew you were alive and were using you
“Who are you protecting?”
Song Jiuyuan sneered, "You don't really think that if Lord Wang divorces you, your children will be fine, right?"
Qin Lan looked at Song Jiuyuan suddenly. They were her children. How could she not love them?
It’s just that she had put Si’er in front.
Thinking of Lao Wang's hatred for her, she clenched her fingers slightly and stubbornly forced herself not to speak.
"That's all."
Jiang Wan poured out a pill from the jade bottle and said, "Since you don't want to talk, I don't want to waste my time!"
She stepped forward and pinched Qin Lan's chin. Qin Lan struggled frantically and even tried to kick Jiang Wan.
Unfortunately, Jiang Wan was very strong and she couldn't do anything to her, not to mention that Song Jiuyuan was there to help her.
Hmm...
Qin Lan refused to take the pill, so Jiang Wan threw it into her mouth and pinched her chin.
The pills melt in water and quickly flow into the stomach.
“Ugh…”
Qin Lan tried to scratch her neck frantically, but it was useless because Jiang Wan had been prepared for this move.
She and Song Jiuyuan took a few steps back and let Qin Lan do whatever she wanted.
After a few breaths, Jiang Wan continued to ask: "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
"I don't……"
Qin Lan forced herself not to think about it. Her eyes were full of panic and she wanted desperately to protect that person.
But it was useless because her mouth didn't listen to her brain at all.
"My brother Qin Yu."
"He's not dead?"
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan were both very surprised. They thought that it was someone from a branch of the Qin family who was causing trouble.
But I didn’t expect that he was the Qin family’s legitimate son!
It seems that the Qin family still has connections in Kyoto, and that person has a high status.
"Who helped your brother survive?"
Qin Lan stared at Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan was not afraid at all. Every word she said was like a spell circling in Qin Lan's mind.
She shook her head frantically, “I really don’t know, I’ve been away from home for more than ten years, and when I regained my memory, Yu’er told me that Si’er was gone.
I only have a limited understanding of many things, but he asked me to cooperate with him in raising private soldiers."
The last sentence is the key point. After saying it, Qin Lan almost fainted. How could she reveal such an important secret?
Jiang Wan curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and asked again where the private soldiers were kept and where the money was made.
However, Qin Lan didn't know much, and it was obvious that her brother didn't trust her as much as the legend said.
After asking some more details, Song Yi took notes with a pen. Finally, Jiang Wan looked at Qin Lan sarcastically.
“Have you ever thought that the Qin family didn’t know you were alive before, and they came looking for you as soon as you died.
What does this mean? It means they already knew you were alive, they just treated you as dead!"
"No, it's impossible!"
Qin Lan broke down and cried, tears and snot all over her face, "They have been looking for me.
If I hadn't lost my memory, we would have recognized each other long ago!"
"I told you you're stupid and you don't admit it."
Jiang Wan rolled her eyes in annoyance, "If they really cared about you, why didn't they tell you all the details?
To put it bluntly, you are just their temporary money bag, and you are so foolish as to plot against your husband and children."
I'm afraid the Fourth Prince already knew that his biological mother was not dead, but her identity was a shame to him, and not killing her was already a act of mercy on his part.
When Qin Lan heard what Jiang Wan said, her crying expression froze and she covered her face.
"Impossible, Yu'er just found me, this is all a coincidence!"
Qin Lan hated the new emperor who caused their Qin family to be confiscated, so in her heart, her brother still held a very important position.
Just at this moment, Song Er, who had been running outside, suddenly came in and said, "Your Majesty, I found the place where they were trading."
"Then keep deceiving yourself here!"
Jiang Wan glanced at Qin Lan, who looked terrified, and quickly left the dungeon with Song Jiuyuan.
As they walked, Song Er explained, "I followed them several times and finally found the cave where they usually pick up and deliver supplies."
"A cave?"
Jiang Wan was a little surprised. No wonder Song Yi and his men searched the county thoroughly but couldn't find it.
It turns out those people were hiding in the mountains.
"Yes, the things Qin Lan's people usually collect are sent over through the people in the county government."
Song Er curled his lips. These people were really bold. They really thought that the emperor was far away and the sky was high.
You are in trouble now!
The weather was cold. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan were sitting in the carriage. Jiang Wan always felt something was wrong.
"My Lord, what do you think?"
The Qin family is already in decline. Instead of trying to save their lives, how dare they dream of that position?
This doesn't seem like something the surviving members of the Qin family would do.
"We were all present when the Fourth Prince died."
Song Jiuyuan rubbed the jade ring with his fingertips, his expression heavy. He thought for a few seconds and suddenly met Jiang Wan's eyes.
The two of them understood what was going on, and Jiang Wan expressed her guess, "If I'm not mistaken, there is someone else with evil ambitions."
It’s not that she looked down on the Qin family, but there were too few survivors when the Qin family was ransacked, and the ministers might not necessarily support him.
But if someone of royal blood were to do this, it would be more legitimate.
Song Jiuyuan analyzed it in his mind, and then slowly said: "The second prince and the fourth prince died.
The Sixth Prince was sent to his fiefdom and is hanging on by a thread, let alone the princesses."
The two men frowned, feeling that things might not be as simple as they thought.
"Prince, Princess, we're here!"
Song Er parked the carriage in the dense forest. Jiang Wan took off her coat that was in the way and got off the carriage with Song Jiuyuan.
"Your Majesty, when I came to investigate, I found that there were people guarding the area."
Song Er whispered to Jiang Wan and the others that in addition to them, Song Yi had brought a lot of secret guards following him.
"Um."
Song Jiuyuan made a gesture, and Song Yi and Song Er led their men and rushed over quickly.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan followed closely behind, with Song Jiuyuan holding Jiang Wan's hand.
"Wanwan, follow me closely."
"Um."
Jiang Wan naturally would not drag them back, and as a result they ended up with nothing.
When they rushed there, the cave was empty. Song Er rushed out of the cave with a grim look on his face.
"My Lord, you are a step too late!"
"Take your men to investigate the trail, and we'll go in and take a look."
Song Jiuyuan's face looked unhappy, but he knew that it was not Song Er and the others' fault.
He led Jiang Wan into the cave. The entrance to the cave was not high, and they even had to bend over to pass through.
After walking dozens of meters, we finally entered the cave. It was empty inside and the dust on the ground showed signs of being dragged.
It was obvious that someone had moved all the people and things inside before they came!
"I guess someone from the county government leaked the news."
Song Jiuyuan had a gloomy face. Last night he led people to seal off all the officials in the county government office. It seemed that some of them still managed to slip away.
"This further proves that it's not just the Qin family that's this simple."
Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes, "The Qin family doesn't have the ability to cover the sky with one hand in this county."
After all, all the branches of the Qin family had their property confiscated, and now there are no officials in the court.
