Chapter 97
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Qian Tong didn't want to play along any longer and sarcastically asked, "Are you worthy of being king?"
King Pingchang did not expect that it would be Qian Tong who would come here tonight.
Wasn't the note passed by that person?
King Pingchang knew that he would die if he fell into Qian Tong's hands, so he would rather fall into Song Yunzhi's hands. Song Yunzhi was a man of rules and regulations in everything he did, and he would not kill people without evidence. Even if he was imprisoned again, it would be better than dying at the hands of Qian Tong.
He had to find a chance to escape to the street outside.
As soon as he moved, Fu Yin's knife cut through the skin on his neck. He warned, "The knife in your hand is very sharp. It can cut bones like mud. Your Highness, please behave yourself."
Prince Pyeongchang's face paled, and he dared not act rashly. Knowing he was doomed, he slowly calmed down and suddenly sneered, "Madam Qian, you are quite cunning. You have schemed against the Choi, Lu, and Park families. Even I, the prince, cannot escape your clutches. Anyway, I cannot escape tonight. Madam Qian, tell me the truth. Was it you who killed the princess at the Park family's that night?"
Qian Tong didn't deny it, but asked, "Shouldn't she have died?"
The corner of Prince Pingchang's mouth twitched. He wanted to stab her to death, to avenge his princess and his three dead sons. But now he was also under her knife. He said with hatred, "As expected, you colluded with Duan Yuanjin and raised this bandit. You do whatever you want, turning Yangzhou upside down. Of the four great families, you are the only one left with money..."
"Is this all useful?" Qian Tong interrupted. "Your Highness, why don't you first tell me about how your family escaped outside the city gate six years ago and encountered Master Qian, who came to support you? How did you kill him and claim the credit for defending the city?"
King Pingchang is not stupid.
Hadn't she come here today just to avenge Mr. Qian? If he admitted it, she could kill him with one blow.
King Pingchang pretended to be confused and refused to acknowledge him. "What Mr. Qian? I don't know him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the knife in Fu Yin's hand cut a not-so-shallow cut on his arm. The speed was too fast, and blood flowed out. The prince felt the pain and cried out in pain, "Ah..."
Qian Tong said calmly: "I'll give you another chance."
King Pingchang hugged one arm, sweat breaking out on his forehead due to the pain. After seeing what Fu Yin said about the bone being cut like mud, he dared not speak nonsense anymore.
Qian Tong then said, "Shouldn't the people of the Pingchang Palace have died? Your family has enjoyed a good life for six years, stepping on the corpses of others. In one fell swoop, you went from being a group of fleeing rats to being praised as heroes. With such achievements, aren't you worried about whether you can bear it?"
"Madam Qian, please spare me..." King Pingchang finally felt scared. In his panic, he just wanted to survive and pleaded, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong... Madam Qian, if you are willing to spare my life, I will give you everything. I am willing to follow you from now on and help you save the stronghold..."
"Who?!" Fu Yin suddenly turned her head and looked somewhere in the darkness.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold arrow came from the eaves opposite the three people.
Fu Yin's eyes narrowed, and she took a step forward to protect Qian Tong. She used the scimitar in her hand to cut off the arrow in time, and stared at the opposite side.
A figure on the opposite side emerged from the obscurity and slowly emerged into the moonlight. He glanced at the kneeling Prince Pyeongchang and sarcastically said, "Your Highness truly is a coward."
With the help of moonlight, all three of them could see clearly.
The person who came was Park Huailang.
Qian Tong's eyes turned cold, and he didn't understand why he appeared here.
Is Mr. Park San’s illness cured?
In order to keep Park Huailang in Yangzhou, Qian Tong had no choice but to let down Mr. Park San. The last time he came to see him, he gave him medicine that was enough to keep him lying down for more than half a month.
Almost all the people in the Park family are dead, and Park Huailang only has this one son. Even if he wants to run away, he has to wait until his son recovers from his illness and take him with him.
But now that the person has appeared here, it is no longer meaningful for Qian Tong to guess how he got out.
King Pingchang had never thought he would see Park Huailang again in this life. The two were originally allies, but were instigated by Qian Tong, leaving behind a blood feud. Although he hated Qian Tong, he also hated Park Huailang for having killed his three sons. Hearing that he had ridiculed him the moment he came out, he could not help but retort, "Brother Park, you claim to be the largest family in Yangzhou, but you have ended up in this situation. What qualifications do you have to mock me?"
Park Huailang was too lazy to waste his words with such an ignorant person.
He looked at Qian Tong and asked, "Madam Qian, what did you ask me to discuss?"
Qian Tong was stunned. When had she ever looked for him? Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and his heart sank. He turned around and said to Fu Yin, "Retreat!"
It's too late.
The sound of several bows and crossbows being pulled could be heard in the darkness. The sound was so subtle that it made people's scalps tingle.
No one dared to move.
King Pyeongchang didn't even groan.
Pu Huailang's expression changed, and he looked at Qian Tong, "Madam Qian, where are you?"
Believe it or not, money."
What is not her? Knowing her palm, she didn't think he would be fooled by her this time, and exposed her conspiracy on the spot: "You can't find evidence that the king framed the master of the Qian family. If you can, then lead the king and the head of the Park family here, and want to kill us all here, so as to create
idiot!
Park Huailang had his doubts.
With the evidence the Park family has now, the court's trial will be much more lethal than her assassinating herself here.
She didn't need to do this.
Prince Pingchang was still excited about his own cleverness and continued, "Madam Qian is truly capable. You used the Crown Prince Song to pave the way for you, and you kept the bandit Duan Yuanjin captive to clean up your mess. You're a complete jack of all trades." He berated, "Is there any law left in this world? No one can do anything to you, Qian Tong!"
Qian Tong laughed in anger, "A thing like you, are you worthy enough to talk to me about the law?"
Looking at the situation tonight, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out for a while.
Not knowing who the other party was, she had to let Fu Yin go out to report the news. She leaned close to Fu Yin's ear and whispered, "Go find Prince Song and ask him to capture Pei Yancong first."
Pei Yancong, Young Master? Fu Yin was stunned.
But she can't leave.
It is obvious that someone is setting up a trap tonight. The lady is surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind. Even Pu Huailang can't beat her kung fu, let alone those dense cold arrows hiding on the eaves.
Qian Tong also saw the current dilemma. She said to Pu Huailang, "Uncle Pu, can you trust me?"
Before Park Huailang could say anything, King Pingchang laughed, "Listen to me, Madam Qian, what are you talking about? Faith? Do you even have the word 'faith' in you?"
Qian Tong looked at him coldly, "If you say another word, I'll cut off your tongue."
King Pingchang didn't dare to say a word.
"I didn't send you any letters tonight." Qian Tong and Pu Huailang said, "These aren't my people. I don't know what his purpose is, but no one present tonight will survive. The only way is for one of us, the master and the servant, to leave first and go find Prince Song."
Pu Huailang frowned, half believing and half doubting.
It's no wonder he didn't believe it. As King Pingchang said, Qian Qi Niangzi was full of tricks and had no credibility at all. Pu Huailang asked, "Since Qian Qi Niangzi said she's not yours, then whose is she?"
Qian Tong: “Not sure yet.”
Prince Pingchang couldn't help himself and would suffocate to death if he didn't say anything, "Madam Qian, you have run out of lies, right? You are full of lies, but there will be a time when you can't continue..."
Before he could finish his words, Fu Yin kicked him in the wound. After hearing his ghostly howls, she warned him again, "Your Highness, do you not want to keep your tongue for tonight?"
King Pingchang rolled on the ground in pain, wanting to scream but not daring to.
Seeing that Pu Huailang was still skeptical, Qian Tong said, "Since these are all my people, and you are here, why am I still hesitating..."
"Bang—" The crisp sound of porcelain breaking suddenly interrupted her words.
Fu Yin twirled the hidden weapon in her sleeve and was about to strike when an old voice came from the opposite room: "Madam Qian, it's me, it's me, don't do it..."
The man opened the door and walked down the stairs tremblingly.
As the silver moon shone, everyone present recognized them.
The head of the Lu family, Lu Daozhong.
Except for the Cui family, people from the three major families were all present.
Hadn't he been squatting in the dungeon, watching the people of the Park family go to jail one by one? Qian Tong asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
Lu Daozhong took a look at the situation in the yard and thought that those people on the eaves were brought by Madam Qian. He suddenly grew courageous and fearless, and his steps became more and more relaxed. He replied: "Didn't Madam Qian ask me to come? She wanted me to kill the enemy with my own hands..." Suddenly he saw Pu Huailang standing in front of her. He was so excited that he rushed over and punched him, "Pu Huailang, you bastard! Back then, our three families followed you to the Strait Line, and no one came back. Do you think I don't know it was you who did it? You killed the eldest son of my Lu family, and you also killed my entire Lu family. I will kill you..."
Lu Daozhong cried and cursed while punching and kicking Pu Huailang. "Back then, the four great merchants swore an alliance, but you, Pu Huailang, turned against us. You are greedy and vicious, wanting to dominate the world alone. Those who do evil will eventually perish. The Pu family has fallen into this state, and this is retribution... I will cut you, Pu Huailang, into pieces!"
Qian Tong: ...
Qian Tong turned his head away, unable to bear to look.
Soon, Pu Huailang grabbed Lu Daozhong with one hand, lifted his collar, and angrily said, "Who do you think you are? If you want to kill me, you have to see if you, Lu Daozhong, have the ability to do it."
Lu Daozhong was about to be strangled to death by him, secretly thinking that with Qian Qi Niang in his arms, Pu Huailang could do nothing to him. Until he was almost out of breath, and before he saw Qian Qi Niang make a move, he hurriedly called for help: "Qi Niang..."
Qian Tong finally spoke up: "Master Park wants to take another life?"
Pu Huailang was also waiting for her to take action, but when she saw Lu Daozhong's face turning purple and the person on the roof did not move at all, she slowly let go and let Lu Daozhong go.
Lu Daozhong collapsed on the ground and took a long time to catch his breath.
Qian Tong reminded him in time: "Don't mess with him, those are not my people. I can't protect myself tonight, so Patriarch Lu has to rely on himself to protect himself..."
Suddenly, arrows came from all directions and shot at the few people.
Qian Tong picked up Lu Daozhong and pushed him behind the eaves pillar under the fire room. Fu Yin also picked up King Pingchang on the ground, and with a few pushes, she threw him behind the pillar.
King Pingchang was so frightened that he forgot to use his tongue and roared, "Madam Qian, you still say she is not yours!"
