Chapter 679 How about we make a deal
"Imperial relatives?" Zhao Shen sneered. "What do you think the emperor would do to you if he knew you were doing such evil things under the name of an imperial relative?"
Yu Chuannan's actions can no longer be simply described as vicious.
Although the emperor always gives people the impression of being weak, Zhao Shen knows that he is a king with persistence and bottom line.
If he knew what Yu Chuannan had done, he would probably retaliate and order someone to chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs.
Yu Chuannan had already guessed that Zhao Shen was a member of the imperial court, but he didn't know who he was exactly. He wanted to use his identity to suppress him.
Hearing this, I knew that the person in front of me was of high status, at least he had a say in front of the emperor.
Thinking about the fact that the imperial court had sent people to investigate the Yu family, and the trouble that would come to the family if his actions were exposed, his eyes darkened slightly.
He suddenly realized that whether he said it or not, he couldn't escape tonight.
The moment he figured this out, all the panic and fear on his face disappeared. Although he was tied to the ground and looked disheveled, he still straightened his back, as if this could maintain his dignity and make him look like the noble future head of the number one family in Jiangnan.
He looked at Zhao Shen: "Can I ask who you are?"
When Zhao Shen saw his expression change, he knew that it was impossible to get anything out of him.
A person who has been trained as a family heir since childhood can be cruel and ruthless, and can have a beastly heart, but he will not sell out or betray his family.
The ability to weigh the pros and cons and analyze situations will be ingrained in him.
Knowing that he was going to die, he would not say anything.
Zhao Shen was also being groomed as the heir to the family, so he was well aware of this. He didn't ask any further questions, but simply said, "You don't need to know who I am. As for what you've done, even if you don't tell me, I will investigate and make it public."
Yu Chuannan's pupils shrank. He didn't know how confident his grandfather was in saving the Yu family until now.
But once this matter became public, the Yu family's reputation would be completely ruined.
He is not just any member of the Yu family, but the future head of the Yu family.
Even if he died, his actions would affect the entire Yu family.
Moreover, the origins of those women would make the Yu family the target of public criticism.
His mind raced, and he finally said to Zhao Shen, "The Emperor has already sent a Marquis of Jingning to investigate Yang Zhen's case, and he secretly asked you to come. It's not just for the Yu family, right? I know some things about Prince Yong. How about we make a deal?"
Zhao Shen raised his eyebrows: "Conditions."
There was still blood on the corners of Yu Chuannan's mouth and chin, but he no longer looked like the beast he had just been when he was sucking human blood. Instead, he seemed to be wearing human skin, revealing the noble appearance of a nobleman.
But deep down, he is still as cunning as a beast.
He said, "I hope that after I die, you will burn this villa down and let everything here go with me."
Zhao Shen looked at him silently.
Yu Chuannan said, "I promise, what I know about Prince Yong is very important. I know where he is."
This is indeed what Zhao Shen has been investigating.
But he couldn't let Yu Chuannan go just for this.
People like him must be infamous for eternity to do justice to those innocent women who died tragically.
Yu Chuannan looked at his calm expression and felt a little desperate. This man was simply unyielding.
"Prince Yong has killed more people than me. He is also hiding in the dark, accumulating strength and waiting for an opportunity to rebel. Don't you want to catch him? If I don't tell you, you will never find him."
"Besides you, does no one else in the Yu family know about this?"
Yu Chuannan said confidently, "Except for me, no one in the Yu family knows about this. It's not just the Yu family, but probably few people in this world know about this either. Because no matter who goes to see Prince Yong, they are always drugged and taken there. Because of my special body condition, his drug didn't work, so I only know a little bit."
Zhao Shen knew that Prince Yong was always cautious, but he didn't expect it to go to this extent.
This does mean that almost no one knows his whereabouts, but Zhao Shen never believes that a person can completely hide his tracks.
Especially for someone like King Yong who is determined to achieve great things, it is impossible for him to hide in the dark and live a poor life.
Just at this moment, Ji Yunshu, who was standing by the window, reminded: "Someone is coming."
Yu Chuannan was alone in the main courtyard, it was impossible that there was really no guard on duty.
There should be a fixed inspection time. They have been delayed for so long, and it is time.
Upon hearing this, Yu Chuannan wanted to call for help. There was no way he would survive the night, but as long as the guards outside were alerted, these two people would not be able to escape.
These guards in the villa can easily deal with top masters.
He wanted these two people to be buried with him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shen's hand was faster than his mouth, and the broken porcelain scratched his neck. The sound he had been preparing to make finally turned into an incoherent and broken moan.
Zhao Shen took Ji Yunshu's hand and was about to run out. Ji Yunshu looked at the woman who was staring at Yu Chuannan's body and asked, "What should we do with her?"
The girl was so badly injured that it was difficult to run away with her.
Once the guards were alerted, they would surely face a bloody battle, and the girl would also be in danger of being saved.
Ji Yunshu hesitated. If they left like this, the girl would definitely not survive the night.
There were already faint sounds of footsteps outside. The girl seemed to be suddenly awakened and looked up at Ji Yunshu.
There were no scars on her face, and she looked clean and pretty. She no longer had the despair she just had, and she smiled as if she was relieved.
Her voice was very soft: "Thank you both for tonight. You can leave now. I killed this man. It has nothing to do with you."
Ji Yunshu suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She walked over and grabbed the girl: "Let's take you away."
How young is she to have to go through all this?
Ji Yunshu felt that even if he died today, he would not leave this girl in this hellish place.
The girl's face was pale, and her voice was weak but rapid. "I'm different from others. They would be fed to dogs after being tortured for a while. But I have to endure this torture all the time. It's been two years. I don't know how much medicine I've been fed or how much blood I've lost. My body has been destroyed. Even if I leave here, I won't survive..."
Just by saying this, she was out of breath.
She looked at Ji Yunshu with gratitude, and even smiled: "I am the daughter of the Hangzhou prefect. Please tell my parents that I did not elope with anyone, and I did not... do anything... that would bring shame to our family."
Her breath grew weaker and weaker, and the light in her eyes grew dimmer and dimmer, until she finished the last word and fell silent completely.
It turned out that when Ji Yunshu wasn't paying attention, she quietly tore open the wound that Ji Yunshu had bandaged for her.
She had already lost too much blood, and her skin below the neck was covered in blood.
Ji Yunshu's attention was focused on the guards outside, so he didn't notice.
In such a short time after Yu Chuannan's death, the little girl had already decided how to clean up the mess for them.
She died in front of Yu Chuannan, holding tightly in her hand the piece of broken porcelain that Zhao Shen had used to cut Yu Chuannan's neck.
