Yu Wang's spy, who had been wandering around the periphery of Jiang Siyuan's yard, saw Jiang Siyuan rushing out in a hurry and his heart skipped a beat.
I heard two days ago that the son of Marquis Wenchang had regained consciousness, but he could not speak yet. Now that Jiang Siyuan has run out like this, what will happen?
The spy waited patiently outside the yard for a long time, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Siyuan bringing Jiang Shouli over!
It must be the son of Marquis Wenchang who has woken up! Perhaps he's about to reveal something!
The spy was very anxious. After thinking it over again and again, he knocked out a servant who was cleaning the yard for Jiang Siyuan and was about to walk into the yard with a broom.
"Stop, what are you doing?" an imperial censor stopped him.
The spy bowed quickly and said, "Sir, I am here to sweep the yard."
The young imperial censor looked him up and down. "Why haven't I seen you before? Lord Jiang said that there's no need to sweep the floor now."
"Sir..." When the spy was about to argue again, the censor drew out the sword in his hand, his attitude was very clear.
The spy had to give up, but the situation was urgent and he had to go into the yard to investigate. He was unwilling to give up and started sweeping around Jiang Siyuan's yard. When he swept to a corner, a clump of weeds suddenly moved.
The spy was so frightened that he started to shudder, and finally found out that the man was just a puppy raised by the Supervisory Council.
"This damn bastard! If he really scares me, I'll..." The spy stopped cursing in the middle of his curse. He looked around and pulled away the grass.
Sure enough, there was a dog hole behind the grass!
In the yard.
Jiang Shouli is interrogating the son of Marquis Wenchang who is lying on the bed.
But no matter how Jiang Shouli asked, he remained silent until Jiang Shouli mentioned the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion, when the son of Wenchang Marquis finally moved.
He coughed and said weakly, "Dean Jiang, please don't embarrass me. This is all I know."
"What you said is what we have already verified, Yang Wenyao. Let's not beat around the bush. I just want to know where the jade you sold to arms dealers was mined?" Jiang Shouli snorted coldly, as if he already had verification.
Yang Wenyao's voice trembled. "What nonsense are you talking about? What jade?"
"That jade is just crude ore, and it's very fresh. It was unearthed quite some time ago. If you hadn't mined the vein privately, how could you have jade of that quality?" Jiang Shouli slammed the table, his voice getting louder. The table was cracked by his slam, and the things on it fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
"I, I, I don't know!" Yang Wenyao's face turned pale, and he had no more words to quibble with. He could only say that he didn't know.
Song Yushu pulled a stool over and sat beside the bed, glancing up and down at Yang Wenyao. "I heard you're the only son of the Wenchang Marquisate. This family's glory will be gone in your generation. Tsk, tsk, what a pity."
"Originally, I have requested His Majesty's permission. As long as he tells the truth, His Majesty will not pursue the Wenchang Marquisate's fault, and this boy's crime will be mitigated. It's a pity that he doesn't value it." Jiang Shouli snorted lightly, tossed his sleeves and stood up. "Let's go, don't say so much. I will directly inform His Majesty and sack his entire family!"
Song Yushu shook his head, sighed, and kept muttering, "What a pity! Such wealth and splendor for the whole family!"
Yang Wenyao was so frightened that he was incoherent. "No, no, my father is Minister Lin's brother-in-law! It's Yu——"
He stopped talking in time. Jiang Shouli looked at him gloomily and lowered his head. "Do you think they would protect you in such a situation? Their real purpose is to kill you, right? Otherwise, how could you be poisoned?"
This last sentence crushed Yang Wenyao. He gritted his teeth and said to Jiang Shouli, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you! But only at night, and I'll tell you only to you!"
"good."
Hearing this, the spy who had finally crawled out of the dog hole frowned and immediately decided to leave the Overwatch Council.
While listening carefully to the movements in the house, he returned the same way and headed quickly towards Prince Yu's Mansion.
Jiang Siyuan, who had been standing at the door holding a sword, twitched his ears and said, "The person has left."
Jiang Shouli sat down on the chair and said, "This is a play."
"I was just saying that you acted too exaggeratedly. You need to improve your acting skills." Song Yushu shook his head in disdain. If the spy came into the room and took a look, he would immediately see the problem.
This old man really loves to add drama.
Jiang Shouli felt guilty and coughed lightly. He glanced at Yang Wenyao, who was still lying unconscious on the bed, and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a talent."
Song Yushu took Yang Wenyao's pulse and said, "His pulse is good. I guess he will wake up in a few days." She did not answer Jiang Shouli's words, but a girl behind her bowed to Jiang Shouli.
It seemed like he was responding to Jiang Shouli's compliment.
Jiang Shouli has personally experienced why both the Crown Prince and Prince Yu wanted to rape the eunuch Song Yushu. After all, it is rare to find a eunuch who is both smart and powerful.
He glanced at his son, who was skilled in martial arts, and sighed in his heart, thinking that it would be great if his son had half as much brain as Song Yushu, oh no, a small piece of it.
"Tonight is a crucial moment, Censor Song, do you have confidence?" Jiang Shouli asked tentatively.
Song Yushu shrugged his shoulders. "It's not my fault if I can't catch him anyway. Why should I have confidence?"
This guy is like a slippery fish, and Song Yushu's purpose is impossible to figure out.
However, Jiang Shouli had a vague idea in his mind. He always felt that Song Yushu played a key role in this case. However, as long as it did not endanger Dayan Dynasty and the Supervisory Office, he did not want to care about it.
Jiang Shouli gave a dry laugh, nodded to his son, and turned to leave the yard.
Prince Yu's Mansion.
"What did you say?!" Lu Zhichen slammed the document in his hand onto the table.
The spy knelt on the ground, trembling as he endured Lu Zhichen's wrath. "Your Highness, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. You must make a decision!"
Lu Zhichen's face was gloomy. He had sent so many people before, but they all returned in failure. They couldn't even see the shadow of Yang Wenyao. In the final analysis, his people were useless.
It's all Lin Zong and the Queen Mother's fault! They've taken control of all the capable people and only given themselves a few crooked ones. What can he possibly accomplish?
Lu Zhichen's chief secretary, Liao Zijin, rolled his eyes and said, "Your Highness, why don't we use someone from the Lin Mansion?"
"Do you think Lin Zong will let me use him?" Lu Zhichen snorted coldly. What's more, this time he was going to the procuratorate to kill someone?
"Whether he allows it or not, we can use it. Why should we be so obsessed with the fact that Minister Lin must allow us to use it?" Liao Zijin moved closer to Lu Zhichen and whispered.
