Chapter 243: It's so lively (Part 2)
Prince Qi's Palace.
Xiao Chengxuan tossed and turned all night with his eyes open. When the day began to dawn, a black shadow finally sneaked in silently.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Xiao Chengxuan's patience had run out, and he immediately stood up and asked, "How was it? Did you meet the Han family father and son?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have secretly tracked down and found the place where Han Tong was imprisoned. But Chen Yanchuan was cautious and did not imprison the father and son in the same place. Time was urgent, so I only found Han Tong. As for Han Yao's whereabouts, I know nothing about it."
Xiao Chengxuan was a little disappointed. After all, Han Yao knew a lot.
However, we cannot ask for too much at this time. It would be good if we can solve one problem, especially since Han Yao is an old fox and more difficult to deal with.
"How about it?"
"This... When I arrived, Han Tong seemed to have gone through a round of interrogation and torture and passed out. I called him twice before he woke up."
Xiao Chengxuan paced back and forth, clenched his fists, and sneered.
"I guessed this would happen! Everyone thought that Chen Yanchuan had entered the palace first and had not had time to personally interrogate the Han father and son, but he is a man of decisiveness and ruthlessness, how could he leave such a big loophole? If he doesn't interrogate them, there will naturally be people who will do it for him!"
He looked at the newcomer again and asked in a deep voice, "Did Han Tong say anything he shouldn't have said?"
"Probably not." The man denied immediately, "Otherwise it wouldn't be so peaceful until now."
Only then did Xiao Chengxuan feel relieved.
"In addition, I fed him some good food according to your instructions. Whether he lives or dies, it's just a matter of your word."
Xiao Chengxuan shook his head: "His life will be spared for now."
Han Tong must die, but definitely not now.
At this time, the entire capital city was staring with countless eyes. If Han Tong died suddenly, it would inevitably cause an uproar and lead to a thorough investigation.
That would add a lot of trouble.
The purpose of sending people over was just to ensure that Han Tong's life was in his own hands.
Xiao Chengxuan added: "Don't look for Han Yao yet. Chen Yanchuan is cautious. If he notices something unusual, it will be more trouble than gain."
"yes!"
Xiao Chengxuan waved his hand, and the man's figure disappeared silently into the shadows again.
As if nothing had happened.
…
When Chen Yanchuan returned to Dingbei Marquis Mansion, the sky was already turning a faint indigo.
The room was covered with a layer of morning light. In the shadows, a tall and thin figure appeared silently and knelt on one knee.
"Sumu greets the master."
Chen Yanchuan untied his cloak, casually threw it on the small couch beside him, and asked in a calm voice:
"How's the situation over there?"
"As you expected, the fish took the bait. The other party sent someone, but they didn't kill it, they just fed it some poison."
"What kind of poison?"
"Longyaqing. The poisoned person will not die in a short period of time, but will suffer from headaches every day, and the headaches will become stronger day by day. If there is no antidote, the poisoned person will die suddenly in a month at most. But rest assured, master, I don't care about this little poison."
Shen Yanchuan nodded his chin slightly.
"You are used to using poison, so these won't be a problem for you."
He suddenly remembered something: "Oh, you lived in southern Sichuan for a long time. Do you know any way to cure colds?"
"Cold?" Su Mu was a little surprised. He knew his master's health very well, but he was asking about cold...
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It depends on the patient's condition. But generally speaking, once this kind of disease occurs, it takes a lot of effort to completely cure it."
Chen Yanchuan's eyelids drooped slightly, and the chill all over his body grew stronger.
After a moment, he waved.
"Got it, you can leave now."
Soon he was the only one left in the room.
The dim, cramped, damp smell from the prison lingered, with a faint smell of blood. All the previous events seemed to be happening right before my eyes.
Shen Yanchuan tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers, lost in thought.
No wonder Ye Heng was so fearless. If what happened back then was really as he said, it would not be so easy to convict him...
He looked out the window.
It's getting light.
One night passed so quickly.
I don't know if that person is still sleeping soundly, but he had specifically instructed before that no one should disturb her sweet dreams.
…
Overnight, the entire capital was discussing the murder of the Ye family. However, the center of the storm was the most peaceful and calm.
The outside world's disturbances were all isolated outside the courtyard walls.
Knowing that it was the person from Dingbei Marquis' Mansion who personally sent the person back the day before, everyone did not dare to act rashly. After thinking it over, they all went to the outside of Ye Heng's original mansion, gossiped about him and threw rotten food at him, and even spat at him if they felt like it.
"I heard that Lord Ye Zheng's family was killed by Ye Heng. What a sin! How could there be such a cruel person in the world!"
"Who said it wasn't? No wonder after those kids came back, Ye Heng's family occupied the Ye Mansion and refused to leave. It's clear that they had no good intentions!"
"I heard that Miss Ye Er was deeply traumatized by this incident and has fallen seriously ill!"
"Alas, what a poor man! He finally returned to Beijing and thought he could find his relatives to rely on, but who knew that he was the culprit that caused his family to be broken up!"
"I think Ye Heng's family is no good, the sooner they die the better! Ugh!"
