Chapter 818 Breakup
Fang Wujiu asked for a small room and took Mr. Ye there.
He wants to interrogate Mr. Ye alone.
With a creak, the door was closed.
Until an hour later.
The door opened again.
Fang Wujiu walked out leisurely and handed a confession to the emperor with both hands.
"This is Ye Jiuming's confession. Your Majesty, please review it."
Luo Qinghan: "Ye Jiuming?"
Fang Wujiu explained: "Ye Jiuming is Mr. Ye's full name."
Everyone was surprised.
The Yulin Guards tried their best but failed to pry open Ye Jiuming's mouth. So why did Imperial Doctor Fang make Ye Jiuming confess in just one hour?
Shang Kui couldn't help but ask.
"Doctor Fang, may I ask how you got Ye Jiuming to confess?"
Fang Wujiu smiled slightly: "I just fed him some tranquilizing powder, and then chatted with him casually."
Shang Kui couldn't believe it: "That's it?"
Fang Wujiu: "That's it."
Shang Kui felt like he was making a fool of himself.
After Luo Qinghan finished reading the confession in his hand, his eyes became deep.
Luo Yechen came over, stared at the confession in his hand, and asked eagerly.
"Can I see it?"
Luo Qinghan casually handed over the confession.
Luo Yechen immediately took the confession and read it carefully.
Bu Shengyan was standing next to him. She could see the contents of the confession by slightly turning her head.
Judging from Ye Jiuming's confession, he is indeed the boss of Xueyu Tower.
In fact, he has been hiding in Shengjing City all the time, and Xixiang Pavilion is a stronghold of Xueyu Tower in Shengjing City. It is also the largest branch of Xueyu Tower.
Not only can missions be issued to killers here, but a lot of intelligence can also be collected from the guests.
The collected intelligence can not only facilitate the killers in executing their tasks, but also be resold.
Over the years, Xixiang Pavilion has been hidden very well and has never aroused anyone's suspicion.
It was not until the appearance of Xiao Xixi and Luo Yechen that Xixiang Pavilion revealed its flaws.
Luo Yechen was confused when he saw this.
"How did Xixiang Pavilion reveal its flaws? How come I didn't even know about it?"
Fang Wujiu explained, "You brought the imperial concubine over, and the imperial concubine brought the emperor. The imperial concubine and the emperor appeared in a small brothel at the same time. This was very strange, so it naturally attracted the attention of Xueyu Tower."
Luo Yechen: "We just went there to have a drink and watch a show. We didn't notice anything wrong with Xixiang Pavilion at all!"
Fang Wujiu smiled and said, "They are guilty of their crimes, and they will start to think about all sorts of things at the slightest sign of trouble."
Bu Shengyan asked Luo Yechen to stop talking, and they continued to read the confession.
The sudden visit of the imperial concubine and the emperor made the madam feel uneasy. She was worried that someone had discovered the relationship between Xixiang Pavilion and Xueyu Tower, so she asked Yinshuang to go to the Hongguo Mansion to find the boss and ask him for advice.
Ye Jiu Ming, although the head of Xueyu Tower, lived in the Mansion of Duke Hongguo as a teacher.
The apparent reason was that Duke Hong admired his talent, but the truth was that Duke Hong and Ye Jiu Ming had long been in contact, and the two had begun to secretly communicate as early as ten years ago.
Ye Jiuming used the identity of Duke Hong to cover up for Xueyu Tower, and Duke Hong received a large amount of gold and silver from Xueyu Tower every year.
If Duke Hong has any enemies that he needs to deal with but is not able to do it himself, he can also use the Blood Rain Tower to eliminate them.
Both parties got what they needed and the cooperation was very pleasant.
Something went wrong in their cooperation with Yin Shuang.
Yin Shuang was not a member of the Xueyu Tower, but she knew some things about it, so she was temporarily pulled into the Xueyu Tower. In addition, she was outstanding in appearance and was quite favored by Duke Hong, so the madam often sent her to the Duke Hong's mansion to deliver messages.
After several visits, Yin Shuang was dazzled by the prosperity of Duke Hong's mansion and began to think about becoming his concubine.
Even though Duke Hong was old enough to be her grandfather, marrying him as a concubine was much better than engaging in the sex trade in Xixiang Pavilion.
In order to please Duke Hong, Yin Shuang secretly revealed to him that the imperial concubine and the emperor had gone to Xixiang Pavilion.
Duke Hong was immediately frightened.
He thought the emperor had noticed the problems in Xixiang Pavilion and was afraid that the truth about his collusion with Xueyu Tower would be discovered.
So he ran to Ye Jiuming and proposed the idea of breaking up.
Ye Jiuming naturally didn't want to.
Over the past ten years, Xueyu Tower has given Duke Hong so much money. If they disband, wouldn't all that money be wasted? !
Moreover, Duke Hong knew too many secrets of Xueyu Tower, and Ye Jiuming would never let Duke Hong withdraw easily.
The two sides had a big quarrel and parted on bad terms.
Yin Shuang was also killed by the brothel owner because she leaked the information.
Afterwards, her body was secretly taken out of the city and thrown into a mass grave.
When the emperor and the imperial concubine went to the Duke of Hong's Mansion, Ye Jiuming was also in the mansion. He even saw the imperial concubine from a distance, but the imperial concubine was so focused on eavesdropping on the quarrels among the concubines that she did not notice a man standing not far away.
Afterwards, Mei Guangtao, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, brought his guards to search the house.
Although Mei Guangtao was talking about searching for wanted criminals.
But Duke Hong and Ye Jiu Ming both knew very well that Mei Guangtao had other intentions.
While the palace guards were searching the Duke's Mansion, Ye Jiu Ming quietly left through the back door.
In the end, Mei Guangtao returned empty-handed.
But Ye Jiu Ming guessed that there would be people watching near the Duke's Mansion. In order to avoid being discovered, he could only temporarily give up his identity as a teacher and hide in Xixiang Pavilion in disguise.
Duke Hong was unable to sleep or eat well during that period.
He was very afraid that his secret would be exposed, and was determined to cut off all ties with Xueyu Tower.
But Ye Jiu Ming was unwilling to let him go just like that.
Xixiang Pavilion is the largest hall of Xueyu Tower and its most important stronghold. Ye Jiuming spent a lot of effort in building it.
It would be a pity to give up just like that.
Ye Jiuming hopes to preserve it as much as possible, and this requires the use of Duke Hong's connections in the court.
He made an appointment with Duke Hong to meet at Xixiang Pavilion, wanting to have a good talk with him.
Duke Hong didn't want to go to the appointment, but he was afraid that if he didn't go, Ye Jiu Ming would expose his relationship with the collusion with Xueyu Tower. He had no choice but to go to the appointment honestly.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Duke Hong met Ye Jiu Ming at Xixiang Pavilion.
Ye Jiuming hopes to continue the cooperation.
Duke Hong was unwilling.
He felt that the Blood Rain Tower was already a broken ship that was about to sink. If he stayed on this broken ship, death would be the only thing waiting for him.
If he doesn't want to die, he must break up!
The two sides disagreed and a dispute arose again.
Ye Jiu Ming threatened Duke Hong in anger that if he insisted on breaking up, then his collusion with Xueyu Tower would be known to everyone by tomorrow morning!
These words undoubtedly hit the spot that Duke Hong feared the most.
