When Zhang Yiliang heard this, he just looked at the person in front of him with a complex expression, the one who was playing nice and the other who was playing bad.
After a long time, he slowly said, "Why should I trust you? They also promised that I would not harm Ah Wu, and they also promised that I would transfer Ah Wu away, but in the end, isn't that the case?"
Zhao Nianze asked, "What kind of guarantee do you want? Is this enough?"
While talking, Zhao Nianze handed a letter to Zhang Yiliang.
The letter came from Yeting, and contained the contract for Qiu Wu to enter the palace at that time. And a hundred taels of silver note.
After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of these things, Zhang Yiliang was obviously still in disbelief.
Zhao Nianze asked, "Has the stuff been confirmed?"
After a long time, Zhang Yiliang nodded slowly.
Zhao Nianze then continued, "If you agree to cooperate, you can tear up the physical contract. I will give the banknote to this girl, and then I will notify his father and brother."
After hearing this, Zhang Yiliang finally no longer hesitated. He looked at the contract as if he were looking at someone he hated. Within a moment, he tore the contract into pieces.
After tearing up the contract, Zhang Yiliang's expression was very calm. With firm eyes, he slowly told his origins.
He was born in a farm family on the outskirts of Beijing. Because he was born with strong arms, his parents sent him to a martial arts school to practice martial arts. When he was ten years old, the superiors ordered prefectures and counties to select martial artists, so he followed him. After that, he passed five levels all the way. He killed six generals and successfully entered the royal training camp for secret guards. After five or six years of fully closed training, due to his outstanding performance, he was assigned to Queen Min's palace and became a secret guard guarding Fengchen Palace. guard.
If it were just like this, there might not be any trouble in his life until the new batch of palace members entered the palace last year.
He found several girls from the same village among them, Yunzhu was one of them, and besides Yunzhu, Qiu Wu and her sister Qiu Yan were also among them.
When he saw Qiu Wu again, his heart was actually very complicated.
After all, he and Qiu Wu had been dating since childhood, and their relationship was very close.
He originally planned to apply for a transfer order in a few years to go back and marry Qiu Wu.
I don't want this sweet dream to be broken so easily.
Qiu Wu's family was originally a tenant farming for the Liu family in the suburbs of Beijing.
Although the Liu family is the main employer, they are still kind, so the Qiu family's life is not bad.
Unexpectedly, last year, the Liu family's eldest son, who was fond of gambling, was instigated by a few gangsters from the same village, and went directly from his original small business to a gambling house in the capital.
What kind of gold-selling dens are the gambling houses in the capital?
In just half a day, this kid lost all his family wealth. Later, under the instigation of those gangsters, they stole their own land deeds to pay off their debts.
In the end, of course, we lost quickly.
A few days after that, a group of tough men gathered at the Liu family's house on the grounds that the eldest son of the Liu family would not repay the money they owed, and forced the Liu family to move out of their home before settling the matter.
After this group of people took over the Liu family's territory, they used some means to purchase the surrounding fields at a low price.
After they acquired the land, they drove away the original tenants. Many people lost the land they relied on for a living, and it was as if they had suffered a disaster. Many people sold their sons and daughters in order to make ends meet.
It just so happens that the imperial city is recruiting palace servants. It is better to send a daughter to the palace to be a maid for ten years than to sell her. Besides, if the daughter can live up to her expectations and have a good master, she will be respected even if she leaves the palace in the future. So many of them sent their daughters to the imperial city for selection.
I don’t know whether Qiu Wu and the others are lucky or unlucky.
All three of them were selected. However, they were not assigned to the same master. Qiuyan and Yunzhu were both assigned to the Palace of Concubine Yuxian, but Qiuwu was assigned to the Huanhan Palace of the Fifth Prince.
In fact, when they were in Yeting, Qiu Wu and Qiu Yan were supposed to be in the same place as sisters.
However, after Yunzhu knew that he would be assigned to Huanhan Hall, he bribed the chief.
The boss took the bribe and randomly selected someone from the roster to replace Yunzhu.
Unfortunately, the person who was replaced was Qiu Wu.
He had also heard Yunzhu confess. She said that she did not expect that the person to be replaced would be Qiu Wu, and she even begged the supervisor for this. However, if she wanted to change again, she would have to bribe her with money. At that time, she had already replaced her mother. All the money left with her was taken out, how could she possibly take out another sum of money later?
Therefore, Qiu Wu entered the Huanhan Hall like this.
The fifth prince has a rather cruel temperament and is not very merciful towards the palace people. If the palace people make any mistakes, they will inevitably suffer a lot.
Therefore, most of the palace people regard entering the Huanhan Palace as a hard job, and serving the Fifth Highness personally is even more difficult.
Unfortunately for Qiu Wu, she fell into the eyes of His Highness the Fifth Prince on the first day she entered Huanhan Palace.
He became a personal palace servant who took care of his daily life.
Being closer to him also means an increased chance of making mistakes in his presence.
Qiu Wu often suffered severe beatings from him.
As Qiu Wu's fiancé, Zhang Yiliang naturally felt very distressed when he saw this. But apart from bringing some medicine for Qiu Wu to treat her injuries from time to time, he didn't have much else to do.
After all, they are just ants in this imperial city.
There is absolutely no control over one's own destiny.
Although he has excellent Qinggong and can often avoid the eyes and ears of Huanhan Hall, if he walks too much at night, he will inevitably encounter ghosts one day.
That day, as usual, he sneaked into Huanhan Hall to deliver medicine to Qiu Wu, but he was surrounded by people before the medicine was delivered to him.
The person who captured him was none other than His Highness the Fifth Prince Zhao Rui'an. Under Zhao Rui'an's pressure with Qiu Wu, he agreed to become Zhao Rui'an's mole in Queen Min's palace.
Zhao Ruian clearly promised him that as long as he was willing to sacrifice his life for him, he would let Qiu Wu go.
He believed him in the first place and didn't want to get himself stuck in the quagmire through this step.
Even Qiu Wu's current situation has not improved at all.
Ever since he betrayed Queen Min, he had no choice.
Zhao Ruian became more careless because of this, and he was not only cruel, but also very suspicious.
He may have punished Qiu Wu just because Qiu Wu touched his brow.
But ever since he discovered that Qiu Wu could be used as a tool to control him, his corporal punishment of Qiu Wu became even more severe.
If he failed to complete his order, he would think that he was unwilling to do his best, so he would only attack Qiu Wu.
Only after he got the information he wanted would he let Qiu Wu rest for half a day.
This cycle goes on and on, and sometimes he doesn't want to resist, but there are so many soldiers around Zhao Rui'an that he can't even touch him, let alone take his life.
His sneak attack on Zhao Ruian failed just like today. Zhao Ruian was very angry and originally planned not to spare his life.
But when Zhao Ruian was about to kill him, Zhao Ruian's mother Zhang Guifei appeared.
She reprimanded her son for his ridiculous behavior, and then asked him to poison Concubine Yuxian in exchange for Qiuwu's complete freedom.
In fact, he didn't really believe Concubine Zhang. After all, his son Zhao Ruian had done too many things that he had broken his promise to.
He did not believe that the woman who raised such a son would be a person of her word.
But he is like the donkey chasing the carrot, although he knows that no matter how much he does, he may not get what he wants.
But because of Qiu Wu, he had no choice.
After all, if he died, Qiu Wu would probably be even more angry.
So even though he knew that Concubine Zhang's words might not be credible, he still chose to cooperate.
Anyone can poison Concubine Yuxian as long as there is an insider.
But Concubine Zhang's real purpose was to use the death of Concubine Yuxian to blame the queen.
It would be unconvincing for most people to blame her. Only if he, the secret guard in the queen's palace, was caught, could people believe that the queen really wanted to kill Concubine Yuxian.
Concubine Zhang's original plan was to frame Concubine Yuxian after her death. But he knew in his heart that Concubine Yuxian was a good person.
After all, Yunzhu's bribery of the principal to cause Qiu Wu to be transferred to Huanhan Hall was not airtight.
Qiu Wu's sister Qiu Yan found out that her sister's misfortune came from Yunzhu, so she found a suitable opportunity to frame Yunzhu.
It's just that after Concubine Yuxian found out the ins and outs of the matter, she should have severely punished the two people, but she did not do so.
Although Qiu Yan's plan failed, Yunzhu managed to survive.
But Qiu Yan was able to save her life.
Therefore, when he learned that Concubine Zhang wanted to frame the queen for the death of Concubine Yuxian.
He didn't want to hurt Concubine Yuxian, but at this moment someone gave him a plan.
Then it can be regarded as all his wishes.
Poisoning naturally requires an insider, and the person he thought of was Yunzhu, who framed Qiu Wu in the first place.
He first pretended to forgive Yunzhu, and then some time later he deceived Yunzhu on the pretext that Queen Min wanted to kill Concubine Yuxian and needed an internal agent.
He also promised that after Yunzhu succeeds, she can become the queen's confidant.
Although Yunzhu knew that this matter was extremely risky.
But ever since she was demoted to casual labor by Concubine Yuxian, she has been unwilling to do so.
She is a very greedy person.
Although Concubine Yuxian's punishment was mild at the beginning, it also meant that these casual servants would never have room for promotion.
How could Yunzhu be willing to be a casual laborer for the rest of his life?
After hearing about the opportunity to enter Fengchen Palace, she poisoned Concubine Yuxian without hesitation.
But what she didn't know was that Queen Min had never given such an order.
And he was just taking advantage of Yunzhu's unreliability to make the whole thing more natural.
So when Jiang Nianjiao showed up at the pharmacy that day, he was so mysterious that he left the note to Jiang Nianjiao and gave her some guidance.
Even when Jiang Nianjiao was almost discovered by Yunzhu, he suddenly appeared and deliberately covered up.
He had already imagined how angry Jiang Nianjiao would be when she found out that the palace attendants around her aunt dared to poison her aunt.
But what he didn't expect was that even though his calculations were so precise, Jiang Nianjiao didn't follow the thread he pulled. Instead, she followed the clues he gave and found out his true purpose.
However, although the mission failed, he did not completely fail.
After all, working for someone is not selling. If he could really trade his own life for Qiu Wu's worry-free rest of her life, it would be worth it.
He turned around and glanced at Qiu Wu, and there was a bit of relief in his eyes that were originally as dark as thick ink.
"Ah Wu, no one can bully you anymore."
The girl who was called Ah Wu only looked confused when she heard this.
Before she was rescued by Zhao Nianze's people, she almost died at the claws of a wild wolf kept by Zhao Ruian in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden.
Years of hard work and the fear of facing the abuser alone, stimulated by this life-threatening situation, broke down all her psychological defenses.
She was greatly stimulated. When she was rescued, she lost all her fingers and forgot herself and the whole world.
