Chapter 38 Father and Son Showdown
Gan Qing looked at Sheng Wenyao and said with a smile, "The Marquis is here."
Sheng Wenyao slowly stepped forward, chose a spot closest to the door, and said respectfully, "Greetings, General Gan."
"My Lord Marquis is not feeling well, please sit down." Gan Qing said casually.
Sheng Wenyao walked over slowly and sat down on the table.
Gan Qing looked at him and said, "My Lord, your health looks much worse than before."
"The weather was cold a while ago, and I wasn't careful enough. I caught a cold, and it looked like I was having a stroke."
After hearing this, Gan Qing poured a cup of tea for Marquis Anyuan and said, "Your Excellency, we invited you here today because we have captured a spy from the Western Rong.
But this man refused to speak. After being interrogated for a whole day and night, he finally insisted on seeing you.
No, I have no choice but to trouble you to come here."
Marquis Anyuan frowned after hearing this and looked up at the bloody man.
Gan Qing said to the bloody man, "Alright Ji Cheng, Marquis Anyuan is here. If you have anything to say, you can say it now."
After hearing this, Ji Cheng raised his head with difficulty and saw Marquis An Yuan sitting beside the table. He suddenly burst into laughter.
He laughed for a long time before taking a deep breath and speaking, "My Lord, you never thought that after so many years, you and I would meet again in this prison.
After hearing this, An Yuanhou looked surprised and asked, "Father and son?"
Then he stared at Ji Cheng's face carefully for a long while, then suddenly stood up in surprise and said, "Are you Shuo'er? You are not... not..."
Ji Cheng laughed and said, "Are you trying to say that I'm not already dead?
Hahaha……
Yes, your son Sheng Anshuo died together with his mother on that snowy night five years ago.
Ji Cheng is now an evil ghost who has returned from hell, and he has come to claim the lives of all those in your Anyuan Marquis Mansion.
Ha ha ha ha……"
Marquis Anyuan thought of the spy from the Western Rong Kingdom that Gan Qing had just mentioned. Now that this was his own son, he was afraid that he would be implicated.
He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, you are not Shuo'er. Shuo'er is dead."
After hearing this, Ji Cheng stopped laughing and said softly, "Sheng Wenyao, do you still remember my mother?"
Sheng Wenyao said nothing.
In fact, he had long forgotten what the woman who gave birth to his son looked like.
Over the years, he even forgot what his concubine Sheng Anshuo looked like.
Now that he appeared as a spy, Sheng Wenyao had only one thought in his mind: he must not admit it, or he would be finished.
So he kept repeating: "No, no, you are not Shuo'er..."
Ji Cheng felt very desperate after hearing this and suddenly started to laugh at himself.
“You disowned me all those years ago and watched helplessly as that vicious Wang beat my mother to death.
Then they broke my legs and left me in the suburbs on a snowy night, waiting for the wolves to tear me to pieces.
How could you recognize me when we met today? I was such a fool, hoping that a heartless person like you could have a little bit of warmth."
After saying this, Ji Cheng seemed to have made a major decision, and his expression instantly became sinister and ferocious.
"It doesn't matter if the Marquis doesn't recognize me. I don't want to recognize you either. But you will definitely recognize your other son, Sheng Anshi."
An Yuanhou was agitated when he heard this: "An Shi? Could it be... you..."
Ji Cheng laughed crazily: "Yes, it's me, hahahaha..."
"My Lord, it seems that you still love your wife and the legitimate son she gave birth to as always.
Haha...the more you love me, the more I hate you.
Do you want to know how Wang died?"
An Yuanhou was startled when he heard this and said, "You...it's you..."
"Yes, it was me. I sent someone to put a crazy drug in her tea, and then watched her act crazy day after day, and finally she was ignored by you.
Then I sent someone to create an accident on her way out.
The vicious woman was thrown off the carriage and then trampled to death by the horses.
Hahaha……"
When An Yuanhou heard this, veins on his forehead throbbed. He pushed the table away and walked towards Ji Cheng tremblingly on his crutches.
Seeing this, Gan Qing was worried that An Yuanhou would beat Ji Cheng to death with his crutch before he finished the interrogation.
So he glanced at the people next to him, and someone came forward to support An Yuanhou and stopped five steps away from Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng saw that Marquis Anyuan was trembling with anger and was almost unable to stand five steps in front of him.
The joy in his heart suddenly increased, and he continued: "As for your good son Sheng Anshi, I sent someone to lure him into gambling.
It was me who sent people to lure him to the brothel, it was me who provoked the quarrel and had his legs smashed alive.
I will make him pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold for the pain I suffered when I broke my leg.
Haha ...
Your Anyuan Marquisate has a lame prince, which is a first in the capital."
After hearing this, Marquis Anyuan's body trembled as if he was sifting chaff.
"Unfilial son, you unfilial son..."
"Rebellious son, it's too late to admit that I'm a rebellious son now... Hahahaha...
I have already admitted to the Hundred Cavalry Division that I am a spy from the Western Rong, and I was ordered by you...
All of you from the Anyuan Marquisate will be buried with me and go to hell together."
“You…you…you…”
When Marquis Anyuan heard this, he could no longer control his anger. He couldn't breathe and fainted.
Gan Qing was in a good mood as he watched the great show of father-son confrontation from the side.
Seeing this, he said, "Send the Marquis down and get medical treatment as soon as possible."
Marquis Anyuan came in vertically and left horizontally.
After An Yuanhou left, Gan Qing looked at Ji Cheng and said, "You have already met the person you wanted to see. I want to know if you should tell me what happened."
Ji Cheng was silent for a long time, then said, "Put me down, I want some water."
Gan Qing nodded.
The people from the Baiqi Division came forward and put him down, and then gave him a bowl of water.
Ji Cheng took the bowl with trembling hands and drank the water slowly.
After a while, he spoke: "I was saved by Princess Zhaoqing, and I am very grateful to her, so I want to use her power to take revenge.
In the first few years, I gave her a lot of advice and she made a lot of money.
In the past few years, I have gradually infiltrated the Anyuan Marquis Mansion and successfully retaliated against Wang and Sheng Anshi.
Just when I was about to give up and leave Princess Zhaoqing's mansion, Jin Mantang found me.
He said that my mother was from the Western Rong and was a spy sent by them to serve Marquis Anyuan, and they wanted me to join them.
I disagreed at first, but he actually found out that I was the one who killed Wang and used this to blackmail me.
I had to agree to join them.”
Gan Qing interrupted and asked, "You mean, Jin Mantang is your superior?"
Ji Cheng nodded.
"Jin Mantang and I have a single line of communication. The first thing I helped them with was the Zuozang Office."
Gan Qing was puzzled and asked, "All the money from the Zuozang Office went into Princess Zhaoqing's pocket, and you couldn't get any of it. Why did you do this?"
"Jin Mantang's intention is to let Princess Zhaoqing have a taste of success first, and test her courage at the same time."
"Then the Changping Warehouse and the Ministry of Warehouse were also Jin Mantang's ideas?"
"yes."
Gan Qing said, "I heard Jin Mantang say that this was all your idea. Are you his superior?"
Ji Cheng laughed and said, "You don't need to test me. I'm telling the truth. And Jin Mantang won't tell you anything."
"Oh, why are you so sure?" Gan Qing asked.
"We have prepared a poison pill and will take it immediately after being caught. If my guess is correct, Jin Mantang is already dead."
"Then why don't you take the poison?" Gan Qing asked again.
"Because I am different from them, my heart knot is Anyuan Marquis Mansion, they don't have any heart knot.
I just want to see An Yuanhou one last time before I die..."
Gan Qing listened and asked again: "What else do you know about your organization?"
