Chapter 130 Interrogation (Update 1)
The moon and stars are sparse.
Whoosh—bang!
A gorgeous firework suddenly bloomed brightly in the dark night sky.
Then, the second flower, the third flower... they bloomed one after another, creating a very lively scene.
Han Yao was originally sitting in the yard drinking sadly, but when he heard the noise he couldn't help but get up to see.
Anyone who sees such a scene would feel happy, but at this moment Han Yao became more and more irritated.
He was dissatisfied with everything now, so naturally he found the fireworks noisy.
"Whose house is that? Why are they setting off fireworks so late at night!?" Han Yao said angrily.
The servant on the side quickly explained: "Master, those should be the fireworks set off by the Ye family..."
Han Yao frowned even more tightly: "Ye family?"
"Yes. It seems that Miss Ye bought it specially for her third brother's birthday. She spent a lot of money to buy it and made it very grand and lively."
When Ye Chutang was mentioned, the servant's voice became much lower.
Sure enough, Han Yao's face looked even worse, and he gripped the wine glass tightly, almost crushing it.
He was scolded badly by his father these past two days, but Ye Chutang was very happy instead!
Han Yao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his tone filled with undisguised resentment.
"I wonder how proud she is now!"
Before, he really liked Ye Chutang's face and did consider marrying her, but now, he only felt resentment towards Ye Chutang.
——If Ye Chutang had not rescued Su Pei'er and her son at that time, how could he have fallen into such a situation now!
Suddenly, a gloomy and cold voice was heard.
"Of course she is happy. Now the entire Ye family belongs to her. Who can compare with her?"
Han Yao turned around in panic, and when he saw the person coming, his arrogant aura instantly subsided, and he lowered his head unconsciously: "Dad, why are you here?"
He is really afraid to face Han Tong now.
Han Tong couldn't help but frown when he saw him like this: "Why, I can't come?"
Han Yao was speechless and quickly changed the subject: "Dad, that's not what I meant. I meant...what did you mean by that just now?"
He has been under house arrest for the past two days and has no idea what is happening outside.
Han Tong briefly recounted the incident, speaking in a cold voice, "She has the support of the eldest princess now, so she is naturally confident. It's also my fault that I misjudged her at the beginning, thinking that she was easy to control. This woman is young, but she has deep thoughts. Even Ye Heng fell into her hands!"
He glanced at Han Yao and said, "And you have become a good knife for her to deal with Ye Heng!"
"This..." Han Yao was extremely surprised and couldn't believe it. "This should just be a coincidence, right? She is only seventeen, how can she be so cunning!?"
Han Tong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
"You can't learn it, but I told you to stay at home obediently during this period of time. You must remember it! It won't be too late to get back this debt after this storm has passed."
Han Yao heard something and his eyes lit up: "Dad, you mean..."
Han Tong stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes.
"The person who drugged the horse at the polo match has been found. More importantly, he has revealed the mastermind behind the incident - Zhao Hanguang."
…
Prince Qi's Palace.
Xiao Chengxuan's face was gloomy.
"Who gave Han Tong the courage to even touch Zhao Hanguang?!"
As soon as the voice fell, the middle-aged man who was standing in front of him immediately knelt down and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please calm down. This matter may have nothing to do with Han Tong——"
"He is the biggest beneficiary of Zhao Hanguang's resignation!" Xiao Chengxuan laughed in anger, "He actually thought he had done it perfectly?"
Others don’t know that Zhao Hanguang is his man, but Han Tong knows it very well.
Now that he has brought Zhao Hanguang down, his intentions are obvious!
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time.
The light in the room was dim, and he was hiding in the dark, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.
After a while, he sighed: "Your Highness is very clear-sighted. Han Tong's thoughts and methods are naturally not hidden from you. But now that things have come to this, please make a quick decision. With the witnesses and evidence, Zhao Hanguang may not be able to clear himself. More importantly, Feng Zhang is also involved in the investigation this time. If he interrogates Zhao Hanguang, many things..."
At this point, his voice stopped abruptly and the room fell into dead silence.
The candle wick suddenly burst into sparks.
Xiao Chengxuan raised his eyes, his gaze was gloomy, and his voice was filled with bone-chilling coldness.
"Zhao Hanguang has done a lot for me over the years. After he dies, you must treat his widow well."
The middle-aged man responded: "Yes."
He immediately stood up and just as he took a step back, he heard Xiao Chengxuan say, "By the way, Han Tong has been in trouble recently, so just let him stay at home. After all, he will have to deal with many matters in the Guanglu Temple in the future."
The middle-aged man understood.
"Your Highness is generous."
…
Sky prison.
The dark and cramped cage was filled with a strong and disgusting smell of blood.
From time to time, there were wailing and sobbing sounds, like the howling of ghosts in the night, which was chilling.
The heavy anklets dragged on the ground.
Zhao Hanguang was a little dazed.
From the time he knew he was exposed to the time he was thrown into prison, only half an hour had passed.
And in such a short period of time, his life has undergone tremendous changes.
He didn't know why his subordinates, whom he had always trusted, suddenly framed him and pushed him into a desperate situation. He also didn't know why he had been clearly convicted even though he had clearly done nothing.
Clang——!
Suddenly, someone nearby pounced on the prison door, stretched out his dirty and bloody hands, and shouted wildly.
"Let me out! Let me out! I'm innocent! I really didn't do anything!"
Before Zhao Hanguang could react, the jailer behind him hit him with a stick.
"Behave yourself!"
The man felt pain and withdrew his trembling hand. Only then did Zhao Hanguang notice that the man had only three fingers on his right hand.
His heart numbed and a chill swept over him.
The jailer wanted to beat him again but was stopped by another person.
"Forget it. He's going to be exiled soon and won't live for many days. Why bother with him?"
The jailer then stopped in disappointment and kicked Zhao Hanguang.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and leave!"
Zhao Hanguang withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and walked forward.
Finally, he was locked in the innermost cell and the door was locked behind him. He dragged his sore legs and planned to go to the corner to rest.
However, as soon as he moved his feet, he saw a pair of black boots and a hint of azure blue clothes in front of him.
——Someone! ?
Just as Zhao Hanguang was about to raise his head, someone suddenly covered his eyes from behind!
Bang!
Someone kicked him hard in the knee pit, and he fell to his knees in an instant, with his knees hitting the ground hard.
"Zhao Hanguang." It was the voice of the jailer who had just led the way!
"If you want to live, answer each of the following questions carefully."
Zhao Hanguang nodded stiffly.
The jailer turned his head and looked carefully at the man beside him.
Shen Yanchuan pressed with his fingers and pushed over a thin piece of paper with a line of words written on it.
The jailer was frightened at the mere sight of him.
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked Zhao Hanguang in a cold voice:
"The battle at Tongtian Pass three years ago was related to the Second Prince, right?!"
