After having supper with Wei Zeng, Qi Yu temporarily left the prison in Qiongzhou Prefecture.
However, he did not go far away, but stayed in the government office to sit at his desk and wait for the dawn of the next day.
Then, why doesn't he go home and sleep?
Its purpose is to solve a confusion.
He wanted to know whether the rumors about the steamed goose were true.
Because this rumor was very much a conspiracy theory, it gradually turned into a gossip in the streets and was often talked about in private.
For specific circumstances, please listen to the following table.
There were rumors that after the establishment of the Dafeng Kingdom, Emperor Taizu, who had conquered the world, was very suspicious, and then he became wary of a general named Xu. Over time, he came up with the idea of eliminating the hidden dangers.
It is said that at that time, General Xu was suffering from the serious disease of back gangrene, and his health was deteriorating, and he seemed to be dying soon.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor should show his care and let the imperial doctor treat him. However, what is unexpected is that Taizu deliberately pretended not to know and even gave him a steamed goose as a sign of favor.
It is said that goose meat is a hairy substance that can induce poisoning and suppuration.
It was so accurate that General Xu died violently after eating the goose.
This is the rumored "steamed goose brings death".
Objectively speaking, it is difficult to tell whether this is true or false, and at best it is just a joke. However, one thing is certain, that is, steamed goose is indeed a hair-raising substance and has a certain pus-inducing effect on wounds.
As for Wei Zeng, he not only ate goose meat, but also drank strong alcohol, so it was impossible that he would not react.
In view of this, Qi Yu plans to wait and see what happens to verify the authenticity of this statement.
As for whether it is accurate or not, we will know after daybreak.
Sure enough, just as the morning light in the east fell, a jailer rushed over to report, saying: Wei Zeng's back injury suddenly worsened and pus accumulated, and serious ulcers appeared. If he is not treated, he will be seriously injured!
Ha ha……
Qi Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, Changran said with emotion: "Taizu sincerely does not deceive me, as expected!"
After laughing, he happily headed towards the torture chamber.
Seeing Wei Zeng again, Qi Yu didn't waste any words. After a few words of greeting, he immediately put forward his conditions.
as follows:
If you cooperate with me, I will help you heal your wounds. Otherwise, just sit here and do your work. If you die, just blame yourself for your unlucky life.
"That's weird! If I die, you will have nothing to do with it!" Wei Zeng said with a grin while scratching the unbearable wound.
"Really?" Qi Yu smiled disdainfully and said: "With so many people watching, what am I afraid of? Everyone's eyes are sharp. I didn't torture you, how could you find it on my head! It's ugly to say One point, if you die, you will die, what does it have to do with me? Even if this matter goes to Dali Temple, I will not bear the blame. Haha, I have been among thousands of flowers, and not a single leaf has touched me."
"you……"
"Calm down, don't get angry. There is a saying in Yanzi: Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and those who adapt to changes are heroes. As for the subsequent decision, you should think about it carefully...

…”
"I……"
"My patience is limited. I'll give you a stick of incense to think about it."
…
Finally, under the double torture of body and soul, Wei Zeng chose to compromise.
Alas, I can't do it without recruiting. The feeling is really unbearable.
Seeing him spit, Qi Yu immediately made his own statement: As long as he could answer his questions truthfully, his life would be safe. In exchange, I will ask the gentleman from the hospital to come over for diagnosis and treatment immediately without any delay.
make a deal!
Next, the two parties entered into a question and answer session.
Qi Yu was the first to speak: "Let me ask you, how did you find my father-in-law Liu Shouye's family?"
Wei Zeng replied without hesitation: "To tell you the truth, I got information about your connections through the people in your Taohua Village. All of them have criticized you, and they are very happy to help me to demolish you."
oh? It's them?
No wonder!
Although he was a little angry, Qi Yu still calmed himself down.
Now that he is a high official in the border area, there is really no need to disregard his status and argue with people like them.
Forget it!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu sighed lightly, already caring.
Then, he continued to ask: "Tell me, why did you imitate my "Tea Drinking Picture"? What is your motive?"
"Sigh... To tell you the truth, that is the most boring thing I have ever done."
Wei Zeng shook his head regretfully, and then said in detail: "Earlier, I wanted to use that work to lie about being your southern friend, and then go to the Qiongzhou Prefecture School where you taught. Everyone, try to get some of the teachings you left behind."
Qi Yu asked curiously: "What do you mean by asking for teachings?"
"My purpose is not complicated. I want to borrow your handwriting and use it to forge customs clearance documents for Qiongzhou ships. But who would have thought that all your teachings are actually written with a fountain pen, which is really difficult to imitate. . In the end, all the hard work was in vain. I had no choice but to find a way to win over Hai Dalong."
Oh, that’s what happened!
However, thanks to his painting, otherwise, I might not be able to find an entry point.
Qi Yu calmed down and continued to ask: "I said, since you are the eldest princess's consort, you must not be the kind of person who is short of money. If that is the case, why come to Qiongzhou to smuggle traitorous goods?"
Hearing this, Wei Zeng couldn't help but fell into a dilemma.
After a while, he finally came to his senses, gritted his teeth and continued: "This matter is a long story..."
"No need to rush, let's talk slowly..."
Under Qi Yu's guidance, Wei Zeng finally let go of his grudge and made a frank confession.
According to him, these things were arranged by Yue Sixian. As for the cause of the matter, we have to start with the death of the Empress Dowager.
However, what Qi Yu didn't expect was that people in their circle knew exactly the cause of the Empress Dowager's death.
they do not
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He only knew that she died at the hands of the Su family, and also learned that the incident was caused by the defection of the former Queen Hu. If this were not the case, Su would never have obtained the relevant evidence.
However, now that the deal is done, it's too late to say anything.
With the death of the Empress Dowager, these so-called wealthy families also fell into decline.
All of this can be attributed to the predecessor Empress Hu. If she had not defected in battle, how could the lineage of the Empress Dowager be like this?
Therefore, revenge is necessary.
Moreover, we must plan for future survival strategies.
So, this group of people, led by Yue Sixian, gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, Wei Zeng put forward his own suggestion: Don't you think Shen Sheng will die inside and Chong'er will be safe outside?
He felt that if he did not leave the capital in time, he would die at the hands of the Su family sooner or later. Instead of waiting for death, it would be better to cultivate some forces outside to establish a long-term foothold.
This high-level argument immediately received unanimous response from others and reached a consensus.
The general direction is in place, but some details still need to be finalized.
At this time, Gao Ming, the governor of Fujian with good ears, threw an olive branch to them. He said that he was willing to provide them with appropriate shelter, but in exchange, the power group headed by Yue Sixian had to pay them a high amount of money in return.
This condition is reasonable and completely acceptable. But where does this money come from?
After thinking about it over and over, it seems that smuggling is the most reliable option, as the money comes quickly.
So the question is, where is the best place to smuggle?
you still need to ask?
Naturally, they chose Qiongzhou, which had relaxed its maritime ban.
good!
After settling the matter, Yue Si immediately sent Wei Zeng to sneak into Qiongzhou to make a head start there.
The specific plan was to have him use opening a brothel as a cover, and then conduct the transaction in secret. After that, Wei Zeng roped in Hai Dalong as an internal agent to seek common interests.
There is a reason why I chose a brothel.
Yue Sixian had heard that Qi Yu didn't take concubines, and he didn't like prostitutes. He looked very unfeminine. Using the brothel as a cover should be able to avoid his attention to the greatest extent.
In addition to these, they must also look for opportunities to take revenge on Queen Hu's lineage. She was executed, but her daughter is still alive!
If we don't get rid of this woman, it's really hard to get rid of the evil spirit in our heart.
This was the real motive behind killing Mu Ziqing.
As for the previous railway track vandalism case, it was purely a whim. Wei Zeng's idea is very simple. He just wants to deliberately create chaos, and then assess the situation in order to take advantage of the chaos to ship goods.
But what he didn't expect was that the train actually stopped without any danger, causing no chaos or casualties. It was really a miscalculation.
After listening to this, Qi Yu couldn't help sighing and thought to himself: I remember that Yin Jun had specially told himself before that he must not let the turmoil of Kunji's change of ownership in the capital spread to Qiongzhou. And I was paying every possible attention and being careful, but I never thought that I still couldn't avoid it after all.
