Jiang Tuantuan also told the emperor what he had discovered, "Your Majesty, please look at the pattern on this box."
The emperor looked at it carefully and asked, "Is this a leaf?"
"Yes, it's this leaf. I noticed this pattern on this box and on the shelf in the secret room below the well. I suspect it's their emblem."
"And I've also checked this leaf. It's a plant that's unique to Jiangnan."
The system entry came out a few days ago. Through the entry, Jiang Tuantuan learned that this plant cannot grow in the north.
The emperor took another close look at the plant pattern and began to think. Jiang Tuantuan also had the answer in his mind, which was the group of people who had recently entered Beijing.
He seems to be from Jiangnan!
The emperor planned to do this quietly, so he locked the three men in a secret room in the front hall. This was the first thing he dug after becoming emperor, and it finally came in handy today.
I'll wait until tomorrow to interrogate him thoroughly.
After dealing with the bandits, the three began to plan, because there were still weapons under the well that had not been transported away, and the three men had been tied up, the people behind the scenes would definitely find out what was going on, so what to do next was the key.
The most urgent task is to transport all the weapons at the bottom of the well out first, and the person behind the scenes will definitely send people tomorrow, so this is a good opportunity. The emperor plans to send people to transport all the remaining weapons at the bottom of the well out now, because no one will come now, and it is the safest time.
I will send a few more trusted confidants to keep an eye on the Wang family tomorrow. I will definitely follow the clues to find out the information of the person behind this. Although I already have the answer in my mind, without sufficient evidence, I will not be able to put them in jail and convict them.
Everyone was waiting in the hall for the emperor's men to return. Jiang Tuantuan was so sleepy that he yawned repeatedly. Li Jingchen said with concern, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep first."
The emperor then noticed that Jiang Tuantuan was a woman, and immediately ordered the eunuch to arrange accommodations for her in the palace. Jiang Tuantuan took a sip of tea, patted her face, and sobered up a bit before saying, "I'm fine. I can still hold on. I'm going to wait for them to come back."
Seeing how persistent she was, the emperor had no choice but to agree. However, he also had a greater admiration for Jiang Tuantuan. This woman was indeed extraordinary.
So he said to Li Jingchen: "Lord Li, you have married a good wife."
Li Jingchen looked at Jiang Tuantuan and smiled faintly, his eyes full of love.
Two hours later, the people who were sent out finally came back with a total of three carriages. When the curtains were opened, they were found to be filled with weapons, armor and other items.
The emperor looked at the three carts of weapons in amazement and couldn't help but applaud. "The person behind this is so brave. He actually hid so much. He really doesn't take me seriously."
At this moment, the emperor's eyes were full of murderous intent. He had ascended to the throne in a pool of blood. If his heart became cruel again, it would really be fatal.
"Thank you for your hard work today, my dear ministers. Go and rest. We will interrogate these three together tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll take my leave."
Jiang Tuantuan slept until noon. When he opened his eyes, he looked around and found no one was there. He asked the palace maid and found out that Li Jingchen had gotten up early in the morning to attend the morning meeting.
Yawning, Jiang Tuantuan got up, washed, dressed, and ate. Looking at the table full of dishes, he said, "There are so many dishes in the palace. They prepared so much so early in the morning. I can't finish it all."
The maid replied, "The breakfast in the palace is not always this rich. This is a special order from the Emperor. Please serve Madam Jiang well."
Jiang Tuantuan finally understood what was happening.
He picked up his chopsticks and started eating, but before he could take a single bite, a palace maid came forward and took a bite of each dish to test whether it was poisonous.
Jiang Tuantuan was waiting on the side, becoming extremely anxious.
Finally, the poison test was done and we could start eating. But before we even started eating, a palace maid came to help Jiang Tuantuan pick up some food. Suddenly, the food didn't taste good anymore. What should we do?
She still prefers everyone to sit together and eat freely rather than being so restrained.
So he said to the palace maids, "Please leave immediately. I don't need you to help me with the food. I can eat it myself."
After she finished speaking, the palace maid retreated and looked at every dish on the table. They were all so exquisite, but they did not taste that good. Anyway, they were not as delicious as the big pot stew she made at home.
After breakfast, Jiang Tuantuan walked into the courtyard. Looking at the red walls and green willows, he couldn't help but sigh, "Now I finally understand why Mingman, despite the palace's fine clothes and delicious food, always wants to go out and play. It turns out she's so frustrated. She doesn't feel free at all."
After waiting for a while, the emperor and Li Jingchen finally arrived. The three of them walked into the secret room where the three men in black were imprisoned. The men in black had woken up after a night of rest. When they saw someone finally coming in, they began to whimper.
The emperor took out the cloth stuffed in a man's mouth, and the man was finally able to speak. However, after the cloth was removed, he didn't know what to say. Several people looked at him in wide eyes, but when they saw Li Jingchen and Jiang Tuantuan, their expressions instantly became ugly.
The emperor noticed this and ordered the other two to be taken out first so that he could interrogate them one by one.
The emperor said, "Tell me, who told you to do this?"
The man didn't say a word, so the emperor ordered a guard next to him to beat him hard until he spoke.
But no matter how hard we hit him, the man just kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
The emperor increased his strength, and the man was covered in blood, his flesh and blood were blurred. Jiang Tuan Tuan felt like vomiting when he saw it. Li Jingchen said, "Do you want to get out first?"
Jiang Tuantuan shook his head firmly, "I can do it."
Later, no matter how I fought, it was useless. He was really a tough nut to crack.
Seeing that this man was about to lose his energy after being beaten, Jiang Tuantuan said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me give it a try?"
The emperor raised his chin and agreed.
Jiang Tuantuan ordered him to lie down flat and take off his shoes. This time the man finally spoke, "What are you going to do, woman? You were the one who sprinkled some powder on me last night and made me faint. What are you going to do now?"
The man's eyes were full of fear. The emperor looked at the scene and instantly became interested. He was full of curiosity about what Jiang Tuantuan would do next.
But the result surprised everyone.
Jiang Tuantuan went out and found a feather, and started scratching the soles of the man's feet. The man's expression was distorted by the tickling, and it was hard to tell whether he was laughing or crying. Tears and snot flowed together. Especially when the itch was unbearable, if he moved his body, the blood would flow more.
