1690 Check, how much can Liancheng sacrifice for Lan Jingyang

The Ninth Prince thought he had covered it up well, but he didn't know how much Feng Qingchen understood him. Feng Qingchen had already seen the Ninth Prince's unusual behavior, but the Ninth Prince had no intention of saying anything. Feng Qingchen could only pretend that he knew nothing and stood at the door to watch the Ninth Prince leave: "When will you be honest with me?"

When will the Ninth Prince be able to trust her completely, just as she trusts him?

Feng Qingchen smiled bitterly and decided to turn his depression into strength and take it out on Lan Jingyang...

Not long after the Ninth Prince returned from Shuntian Prefecture, he came to the secret room of the Su Mansion. He suppressed his anxiety and checked the information piled on the table one by one. This made the Ninth Prince even more unhappy.

"For Lan Jingyang, Liancheng is really willing to sacrifice himself."

Bang... The Ninth Prince slammed the letter on the table, spread out paper and ground ink, then picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Liancheng.

Liancheng was willing to cede three towns just to let Lan Jingyang leave the city. Now that Lan Jingyang is in his hands, he wants to see what Liancheng will give in exchange and to what extent he can sacrifice for Lan Jingyang!

After writing the letter, the Ninth Prince sealed it without even looking at it, sent it out through a special pipe in the secret room, and had someone deliver it to Liancheng as quickly as possible.

Liancheng better make a decision quickly, otherwise Lan Jingyang will be dead.

After dealing with Liancheng's letter, there were still a few letters that the Ninth Uncle had not read. At this moment, he simply could not read anything. He knew that his emotions were too fluctuating, which was not good, but he could not control himself.

"Someone come here." The Ninth Prince knocked on the table rhythmically, and soon a man in black came out and knelt on one knee in front of the Ninth Prince: "Master."

This person is the second person in charge besides Su Wenqing and is deeply trusted by the Ninth Prince.

"Go, check what is the relationship between the woman who appeared in Xuanyue Palace and Lan Jingyang?" Lan Jingyang's word "Aunt" made him feel very uncomfortable. As far as he knew, his mother had no brothers or sisters, and he was the person with the closest bloodline to the royal family of the previous dynasty. If not for this, those old guys in Liancheng would not have been loyal to him all these years.

"I understand." The man in black took the order and reported the latest intelligence to the Ninth Uncle before leaving: "Master, Nanling Jinfan is still alive. He can walk freely and is now in the Xiling Princess's residence. He brought a group of weird old men from overseas. These people look very strange, none of them are normal people. They are all good at martial arts and cruel. Half of them stayed in Yecheng, and the other half went to Xiling with Nanling Jinfan."

"Strange shape?" Hearing this, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but think more.

There doesn't seem to be any weird-looking people in the cult. They look no different from ordinary people, but they just have cold and cruel personalities. Are these people really members of the cult?

In order to ascertain the origins of these people, the Ninth Prince wrote a letter to the Demon Cult leader, Zhezhe.

Although Zhezhe is young, the Ninth Prince does not treat him as a child. Zhezhe is no worse than an adult in terms of character and IQ. He knows more about the two evil religions than most people.

After everything was explained one by one, the Ninth Prince was the only one in the secret room. He sat on a stone chair with his back to the light, hiding himself in the dark, and did not move...

He sat there until dawn. The Ninth Prince's eyes moved, and he took a look at the remaining pieces of intelligence. He had no intention of checking them, so he just handed them to his subordinates to deal with, and went back to his house to change clothes and attend the morning court.

The Ninth Prince didn't know that among the several pieces of intelligence he casually dropped, one was about Qin Baoer's movements.

The ancient corpse poison was indeed powerful. Less than half an hour after the purified toxin was injected into Lan Jingyang's body, black spots appeared on Lan Jingyang's body. These black spots grew one millimeter larger every half an hour, and the color of the black spots also deepened. It was obvious at a glance that the toxin was spreading.

Lan Jingyang's mute point was pressed, and his hands and feet were chained to his chest, making him unable to move. He could only glare at Feng Qingchen with ferocious eyes, like a man-eating beast.

If he doesn't avenge this, he would not be Lan Jingyang.

Feng Qingchen was very calm. Lan Jingyang's eyes had no effect on her. She just did what she was supposed to do. She didn't even tremble when the needle pierced her skin and drew blood and toxins from the black spots.

Lan Jingyang was both anxious and angry. The attack of the ancient corpse poison made his body feel extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything and could only let Feng Qingchen do whatever he wanted.

After the third blood draw, it was already dawn. Feng Qingchen couldn't stand it any longer. He blinked his red, swollen and sore eyes and said to the soldier beside him, "Keep an eye on him. If there is any change in his condition, come to me immediately."

"Yes." The officers and soldiers left behind by the Ninth Prince received the order and stood guard on the four sides of the bed, staring at Lan Jingyang without blinking.

"Clatter, clatter..." Lan Jingyang pulled the chain angrily to show his protest.

Feng Qingchen was so sleepy that he yawned, turned around and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jingyang. The Ninth Prince gave the Imperial Hospital five days, and only one day has passed. There are still four days left. If I don't prepare the antidote within four days, Mr. Jingyang will be on his own."

Feng Qingchen washed and dressed hastily, then fell asleep on the bed. While she was sleeping soundly, the Ninth Prince was attending the morning court, dealing with the challenges posed by hundreds of officials.

Today's morning court was more intense than yesterday's. The news that the Ninth Prince led his troops to encircle Feng Qingchen in the West Branch Courtyard last night and took someone out of the branch courtyard had already spread. These officials received the news last night and revised the memorial overnight, writing about the matter in great detail and demanding that the Ninth Prince give an explanation to the court officials and the people of the world.

Most officials accused the Ninth Prince of this, saying it was not in compliance with the laws of Dongling and the procedures of the Dongling judicial department. Although special cases should be handled specially, if everyone were to be like the Ninth Prince, who would abide by the laws of Dongling and who would take the government seriously?

There are also some people who are extremely dissatisfied with the Ninth Prince's decision to hand the suspect over to Feng Qingchen for disposal. They think this is simply a joke and disregards the laws of the country.

"Ninth Uncle, since that person is a suspect, he should be imprisoned and let the government try and sentence him. Even if Feng Qingchen is the victim in this case, he has no right to guard or deal with the suspect." The person who spoke was not an official from any faction, but a rigid old official who generally had no status in the court.

"Master Ke is right. If everyone is like Miss Feng, and privately handles suspects when they encounter injustice, what is the use of the government? The people will follow suit. If you hit me today, I will hit you tomorrow; if you kill my whole family today, I will kill your whole family tomorrow, and we don't have to break the law, won't the world be in chaos?"

"I would like to ask the Ninth Prince to transfer this case and the suspect to the Dali Temple, and let the Dali Temple make a judgment. Or, you can put the suspect in jail and wait until the matter in Shuntian Prefecture is over before trying him again."

Many officials agreed with this, which shows that what the Ninth Prince did was indeed not in compliance with the law.

Whatever is done, once it is brought to the surface, it must follow the surface rules. Even the Ninth Prince cannot ignore all laws and challenge the dignity of the country. Once the Ninth Prince touches the authority of the country, those old officials who usually don't speak out will stand up one by one and accuse the Ninth Prince of all his faults.

Facing the accusations and demands of the ministers, the Ninth Prince did not compromise, but suppressed the matter under tremendous pressure, and made a promise to several adults, that is, after five days, when the antidote is developed, this person will be handed over to Shuntian Prefecture, and Shuntian Prefecture will review the case...
