Chapter 84 The Disgusting Man Who Lies with Children
Yun Zhao struggled to climb over the hillside and lay down on it, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Wow, they even killed someone to cover it up! It seems Yan Jing must know some unspeakable secret!"
Yun Zhao felt that he had made the right bet this time!
It was all worth it for her to rack her brains, using both deception and coaxing, to finally arrest Yan Jing alone!
She scrambled to her feet, dusted herself off, and trotted off to find the tigress.
Yan Jing was dragged away by the tiger, which bit his leg; the tiger wouldn't protect his head.
When the tiger arrived at the agreed location with Yun Zhao, Yan Jing's face, swollen like a pig's head, had turned blue and purple, and was covered in blood.
The tiger stared at the blood on his face, stomped on it twice with its paws, but finally couldn't resist and stretched its neck to lick the blood off his face.
Yun Zhao saw the tiger with its head down, seemingly eating something, from afar, and immediately gasped.
"No! I need to talk to him. Don't eat that, you eat this!"
She strode quickly with her short legs, rummaged through the space, and pulled out a few chickens, throwing them in front of it.
The tiger then looked up at her, its mouth stained with blood, and its face looked completely innocent.
Yun Zhao rushed over and hugged its neck, coaxing, "Be good, this person is filthy and doesn't taste good."
She coaxed it a few times, and the tiger reluctantly moved its head away.
Looking at Yan Jing's face, which was licked raw and bloody, Yun Zhao fell into deep thought.
Is a tiger's tongue really that powerful?
No wonder Madam Xu was so badly injured after being licked by it.
Helpless, Yun Zhao took out the antidote and stuffed it into the tiger's mouth.
"Take the antidote first, or the poison will take effect and turn your whole tiger head into a pig's head!"
The antidote was a bit bitter; the tiger licked the powder and almost vomited.
"If you don't want to end up like him, then eat it obediently!"
Yun Zhao pointed at Yan Jing, whose head was swollen like a pig's head. Tiger remained silent for a moment, but eventually finished licking up the powder.
"That's a good boy!"
Yun Zhao nodded, took out a rope from his spatial storage, and huffed and puffed as he tied Yan Jing up.
Then, she took out a porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and placed it under Yan Jing's nose.
After being gently shaken twice, Yan Jing slowly woke up.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Hi, how are you? Long time no see.
Yun Zhao waved at him and smiled happily.
Yan Jing recognized the child's voice and was startled.
"Yun Zhao?!"
"It's me~ I also raised the tiger, don't worry, with me here, it won't eat you~"
Yun Zhao looked at his swollen face, her eyes darting around.
"I heard you want to find Master Pei of Medicine King Valley to cure your poison, but why do you want to find him?"
Although he's my master, he probably doesn't know how to cure the poisons I concoct. You'd be better off coming to me.
Upon hearing her words, Yan Jing felt a sharp pain in her chest and immediately began to cough.
"It really was you! Cough cough cough, you are, cough cough, how did you poison me?"
"Did you think that when I clung to your leg that day, I was really begging for mercy? You're so old..."
How could you be so naive? You're not even as naive as a five-year-old like me!
Yun Zhao looked at him with an innocent expression.
Yan Jing coughed violently in anger, wishing he could tear this little brat apart right now!
Yun Zhao casually picked up a leaf and poured the antidote on it.
"Hey, Brother Yan Jing, let's make a deal. You answer one question for me, and I'll give you the antidote, okay?"
Antidote?
Having finally caught his breath, Yan Jing still didn't quite trust her.
A five-year-old child was able to poison him.
They could even raise tigers and snatch them from the hands of the Imperial Guards.
How can someone like this be considered a five-year-old child?
Seeing his hesitation, Yun Zhao decided to give him a strong dose of medicine.
"Those two imperial guards just now, were they men that your uncle, the emperor, sent with you?"
When you fell, I saw them pull out daggers, trying to stab you to death!
Yan Jing knew that the emperor had sent him with these people to keep an eye on him.
But how did she find out?
"No, you, how did you know..."
"How did you know it was someone sent by my uncle, the Emperor? Heh heh, what's it to you? I know."
It's far more than you can imagine. I'm asking you, what are the charges against my father for embezzlement?
Was it imposed on him by his uncle, the emperor? Was it him who, when you were confiscating his property, found some pretext to solidify the charge of embezzlement?
Yan Jing guiltily looked away, and Yun Zhao understood.
It turns out, it really was the emperor who did it.
Why?
He had already secured his rule, while her father had no military power.
In the imperial court, my father held no actual official position.
He could only spend a handful of days in the capital each year, let alone have time to make connections with other officials.
Apart from her maternal grandfather's military power in the southwest, her father had no other support in the court.
However, his maternal grandfather was old, and none of his four sons could take his place.
After a few years, my maternal grandfather's body could no longer withstand the miasma of the southwest, and he would naturally relinquish his military power.
Since her rebirth, Yun Zhao has calculated and calculated, but she still can't understand why the emperor framed her father.
Judging from Yan Jing's reaction, the person who used the Empress's faction to pin the blame for the corruption case in Jiangnan on her father was undoubtedly the Emperor.
"In that case, you don't need to stay any longer. I'll see you off."
Without wasting words, Yun Zhao took out a new poison, intending to send him to the Yellow Springs.
Yan Jing panicked when he heard the murder being mentioned so casually.
"etc!"
He cried out in surprise, and Yun Zhao paused in pulling out the bottle stopper.
She tilted her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong? Afraid of pain? Don't worry, I'm very precise with my medication. Since you personally raided the house, I'll let you leave quickly~"
"You want to know about the emperor? I can tell you, but please spare my life!"
Yan Jing racked his brains for any news that might save his life.
For the first time, I realized that this five-year-old could be so terrifying!
"But I already know. It was my uncle, the emperor, who wanted to harm my father. Do you have any more surprising news?"
Yun Zhao thought that if he really had some news, she could give him a different medicine.
"The Emperor isn't the only one in the capital who wants your father dead!"
Yun Zhao: ?
"Why? My father has no real power. What's the point of taking his life?"
Did her father offend some corrupt officials while inspecting water conservancy projects?
"The Qi family, the Governor-General of Jiangnan, have evidence of their corruption in your father's hands, and they also want your father dead!"
"Gao Minglang said that the Qi family had no intention of dragging my father into this mess. So, between you and Gao Minglang, who is telling the truth?"
Yan Jing's heart skipped a beat.
How does this little rascal know everything?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yun Zhao felt bored.
"Don't think you can fool me just because I'm a child! I don't have time to play with you, you stinky man who tries to fool children!"
"Wait! Gao Minglang probably won't tell you about the Fifth Prince, will he?"
To survive, Yan Jing had no choice but to risk everything.
