Chapter 479 I Really Wish You Had Never Been to Liyang
Chapter 479 I Really Wish You Had Never Been to Liyang
When the two returned to the yard, Qin Huaizhao and Ling Jinlan were already waiting for them there.
I felt relieved to see that they were okay.
We shared our findings from the past few days.
But Jiang Ningwan did not reveal Prince Rong's involvement. It would be better to wait until there is concrete evidence before saying anything about this matter.
Qinhuai Zhao also made discoveries.
"Qin Xian appeared for a few days and then disappeared again. When I asked the people in the mansion, they all said they hadn't seen Qin Xian go out. But I quietly went to his room at night and there was no one there."
"I specifically asked my mother, and she said Qin Xian used to be like this all the time, and she also said..."
When he said this, Qin Huaizhao looked a little embarrassed.
"What else?" Jiang Ningwan asked.
Qin Huaizhao said in a heavy tone: "My mother said that Qin Xian is not in his room, so he must be in Aunt Du's room."
Jiang Ningwan hadn't realized what he meant yet, so she asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Qin Huaizhao: "My mother means that the relationship between them is not ordinary."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was stunned.
My scalp went numb for a moment.
"No way..."
Qin Huaizhao quickly added, "My mother has always been prejudiced against them. Maybe she misunderstood them, and it may not be true."
"But I think I'll observe it a little longer."
"Find a chance to go to Qin Xian's room and see if there is a secret room."
Jiang Ningwan nodded.
Two days later, Xiao Fuxue came to report: "There are several more merchant ships on the Liyang River. I saw that the cargo they are carrying on the ships is wine."
"I asked around and found out that the merchant ship belongs to the Qi family."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold, "It's Qi Jishan's boat, they want to take Ru Mengzui away."
She didn't expect them to move so quickly, but she had already written a letter to Yan Yue, so they should be able to reach Zhenxi Army faster than Meng Zui.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shuangchi said in a deep voice: "The ship carrying Ru Mengzui should be leaving soon. Coincidentally, the people from Tianfengmen were also beheaded recently."
"We can make a feint to the east and rescue the people."
Jiang Ningwan nodded in agreement and immediately arranged for Xiao Fuxue and others to pretend to be members of Tianfengmen and observe the merchant ships nearby to alert the other party.
As expected, after Xiao Fuxue and his men appeared that day, additional personnel were dispatched near the merchant ship the next day, and a large number of soldiers were guarding it.
Even when transporting goods onto the ship, there were soldiers accompanying to protect them.
On this day, three people from Tianfengmen were about to be executed.
The security in the vicinity was not strict.
Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi had already put on masks and black clothes, and were lurking nearby with a group of people.
Just as he was about to be beheaded, Jiang Ningwan leaped out and scattered a large amount of medicine powder.
The execution ground suddenly became chaotic.
Without harming anyone's life, Jiang Ningwan and others immediately rushed into the execution ground and kidnapped the person.
Because the escape route and hiding place were arranged in advance, the journey was very smooth.
Escape from the pursuers and escape to a safe place.
Lock the door.
Jiang Ningwan pulled off her veil and looked at the others. "Are you all right? Zhang Kui asked us to come and rescue you."
She immediately revealed her identity so that the others could let down their guard.
But unexpectedly, the three of them looked at each other, confused.
One of them asked hesitantly, "Who is Zhang Kui?"
The voice was unfamiliar and weak, not like the one from the Tianfeng sect member seen in the cell that day.
"You... pull your hair out."
The three people parted their messy hair, revealing their faces, which were covered in blood, but one could tell that they looked completely unfamiliar.
None of them were the ones she had seen that day!
Jiang Ningwan's expression changed. "Aren't you from Tianfeng Sect?"
The three of them shook their heads in confusion, "We...are not."
"Then who are you?"
Upon further questioning, we learned that these three people were death row prisoners who had been imprisoned in prison for more than three years.
He is not from Tianfengmen at all.
Only at this moment did Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi realize that the Tianfeng sect member who was to be executed had been replaced.
The next moment, Xiao Fuxue came hurriedly, "General, Your Majesty, a lot of soldiers suddenly appeared and are chasing us here."
"Several street intersections are guarded. We are surrounded!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked.
How come they caught up so quickly?
At this time, Jiang Ningwan glanced at the three death row prisoners next to him and found that there was something glowing on the ground where they were stepping.
It is especially obvious under the sunlight.
Qin Shuangchi also saw it, his face darkened, "This is a trap!"
Hearing the approaching footsteps outside, Jiang Ningwan knew they could not escape.
He ordered Xiao Fuxue and the others, "Don't expose yourself yet, find a place to hide."
Xiao Fuxue nodded in agreement and immediately fled with his men.
Soon, the soldiers arrived at their yard. Hearing the sound, Jiang Ningwan slowly opened the door.
Unexpectedly, the person who came was the general who came to see them that night.
It was Bai Yu, the deputy general beside Prince Rong.
When Bai Yu saw Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi, he was also a little surprised, "I didn't expect that you two kidnapped the prisoner."
Qin Shuangchi's eyes were deep, "Is this Prince Rong's plan?"
Bai Yu smiled and said, "Yes, the prince set up this plan to wipe out the remnants of the Tianfeng Sect. I didn't expect that it would trap you two."
"Please, the prince is waiting for you."
Things have come to this point, and Jiang Ningwan and the others have no other choice.
I could only follow him back to Prince Rong’s Mansion.
In the study, Prince Rong sat upright on a chair. Seeing how they were dressed, he sighed heavily.
"The thing I was most worried about finally happened."
At this point, Qin Shuangchi had no choice but to make things clear.
"Sixth Brother, why are you doing this? You're helping the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce cover up Ru Mengzui's affair. How involved are you? Are you really collaborating with the enemy and selling out your country?"
Hearing this, Prince Rong smiled helplessly, "You really found out a lot."
"I really wish you had never come to Liyang."
Prince Rong admitted it.
Jiang Ningwan found it hard to accept. "Why? You should know the origins of the people from Tianfeng Sect. Don't you know what happened to them after being harmed by Rumengzui?"
"Are you doing your duty to the people of Liyang by guarding it? Are you doing your duty to Qin Huaizhao, who is all alone in Kyoto?"
"If what you did is exposed, Qin Huaizhao and Ling Jinlan will be the first to be beheaded! As a father, don't you care about your son's life at all?"
At this moment, Jiang Ningwan was extremely anxious and even more afraid than Prince Rong, because her Jin Lan would also be implicated.
She had finally rescued Jinlan from the north, but now she watched Jinlan being pushed to the edge of the cliff.
Prince Rong was also furious. He sternly said, "I did all this for the people of Liyang! Have you seen the starving people everywhere in Liyang? Have you seen the despair of waiting for three months for disaster relief food, only to receive a bag of chaff?"
"The emperor gave me Liyang as his fiefdom, but he doesn't care about the lives of the people here. What can I do? In order to let more people survive, I must save myself!"
Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi were shocked.
"You have your reasons, but Rumengzui is not a good thing either. It's addictive and can ruin a person's martial arts and internal strength."
"If everyone were to become infected with Ru Meng Zui, the Liyang you guard would become a living hell."
