"Ha!" The person in the car clanged and pressed the tea cup heavily on the table. "You and I colluded back then. I promised to promote you, and you promised to testify against the former Minister of War. But how could Brother Li keep the secret letters between you and me that day? What about now? Brother Li, you are thinking deeply."
Li Quan knelt on the ground and felt extremely guilty. He turned his eyes and said, "Master Yushi... who did you listen to nonsense? How could I keep the secret letters from back then? I was also involved in that matter. If I kept it Doesn’t a secret letter give someone a handle?”
Chen Yushi ignored his sophistry, and his tone became more and more unhappy: "If you hand over the secret letter from that year, I will protect your official name in front of the Holy Emperor. If you don't hand over..."
Deep in the dense forest, a sharp arrow shot over Li Quan's head! A cold wind blew.
Li Quan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling all over: "Master Censor, calm down, I will get the secret message and give it to you tonight."
He was silent for a moment, and when he clenched his molars, he actually bit the skin of his mouth. His mouth was full of the taste of blood, and he simply threw it out with a hint of betrayal: "I have nothing to ask for, I just want the censor to protect my official name." , if you protect my official name, I will hand over the secret letter readily, but if the censor cannot protect my official name, you must not blame me for causing you trouble."
In the carriage, Chen Yushi's scheming face showed a hint of ruthlessness, and his eyes were like a man-eating tiger dormant in the mountains.
How dare this guy threaten him with the secret letter from back then!
If I had known that Li Quan would always hold back, otherwise I would have killed him and silenced him!
After a long silence in the carriage, a voice with no audible emotion came from the carriage: "Tonight at three o'clock, please send a secret message. Tomorrow, I will guarantee your official title at the Jinluan Palace."
"Thank you so much, Censor!!" Li Quan kowtowed firmly.
"Hmph." Chen Yushi threw down his sleeves contemptuously.
Li Quan changed directions and knelt to send Chen Yushi away respectfully.
After there is no trace of the carriage in the dense forest...
Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Just as he was about to stand up, a sharp sword was placed on his neck from behind! His scalp was so frightened that he continued to kneel down and said tremblingly: "Chen Yushi, why is this?"
"I'm not Yushi Chen." Qi Chengyi held the hilt of his sword and said with contempt and scorn like he was looking at an ant, "But I can kill you more than Yushi Chen."
"Qi Chengyi!?" Li Quan frowned instantly, "Did you hear everything just now?"
"Yes. We all heard it." Fu Yunqing walked over leisurely with a peach in his hand.
Li Quan closed his eyes tightly, feeling like he was falling into Abi Hell.
It was actually heard by the grandson of the former Minister of War. He made one mistake and lost everything. He fell into the hands of Qi Chengyi and had nothing to resist. He had no capital or ability to resist.
Li Quan lifted his robe and sat cross-legged on the muddy ground, looking like he had broken a jar: "If you want to kill or behead him, please do as you please."
"Just now, we were vying with Chen Yushi for his official title, but now that he has fallen into the hands of the Eighth Prince, he has become the one who wants to be killed and beheaded. Li Quan, you really have a guilty conscience." Fu Yunqing said.
"You -" Li Quan knew that his guilty attitude confirmed what happened that year. Soon his mind turned around and he chuckled, "Looking at the Eighth Prince's attitude, he didn't kill me with a single sword." , It seems like you are asking for something from me."
"Tsk." Fu Yunqing bit the peach and nodded. "After I stopped beating my wife and daughter, my brain became much easier to use. Why did I beat my wife and daughter before with such a good brain?"
"Fu Yunqing, please don't be so arrogant! My end today is all thanks to you!" Li Quan's eyes were about to split with anger, but the sharp blade on his neck reminded him not to act rashly.
"Actually, it's not like I can't kill you with one sword." Qi Chengyi moved his fingertips slightly, and the blade pierced the skin of Li Quan's neck, not deep but not shallowly. A stream of blood flowed down, soaking his collar and dyeing it a dazzling red. Li Quan's legs immediately went weak. Qi Chengyi added, "It's just too easy to kill you with one sword."
Fu Yunqing said: "We are not asking for help from you, but to save your life."
She took out a stack of secret letters from her sleeve and opened them one by one in front of his eyes.
Li Quan stared at the old letters, his pupils widened in shock and his face trembling. He almost rushed to grab the letters, but Qi Chengyi kicked him to the ground and stepped on the side of his face into the soil.
Li Quan said with a ferocious look, "Did you enter the secret room of my study?"
"Otherwise, how could I get these secret messages?" Fu Yunqing smiled and put the secret messages into his sleeves. "Thank you for saving a hand and making wedding clothes for us. The night we were in your study to get the secret messages, we happened to meet each other. The man in black sent by Chen Yushi to get the secret message."
"Li Quan, why don't we make a bet. I can save your life, but Chen Yushi can't."
"What do you mean?"
"Chen Yushi wants to kill you." Fu Yunqing ate a peach leisurely and smiled slightly.
Li Quan was silent.
Seeing his silence, Fu Yunqing further broke through his psychological defense: "Li Quan, if you beat your wife and daughter, your crime will not be punishable by death. The maximum sentence is ten years. You will still be alive after ten years. But if you really hand over the secret letter to Chen Yushi, Chen Yushi will kill you to silence you. Think about it, how could Chen Xi, Chen Kang, and the Chu family leave a landmine who knew the secrets of the past and even used it to threaten him?"
"Chen Yushi won't let me live, will you let me live?" Li Quan looked at Fu Yunqing and Qi Chengyi.
Qi Chengyi sheathed his sword and said indifferently: "The mastermind of those who harmed my mother's clan is Concubine Yu's party."
"You have been an official for many years, so you should know clearly the difference between the mastermind and the accomplice." Fu Yunqing said.
"What do you want me to do?" Li Quan's face was full of defense, his eyes were filled with sadness.
"Expose what Chen Yushi did back then." Fu Yunqing said.
After hearing this, Li Quan stopped talking.
After serving as an official for half his life, he fell into the hands of Fu Yunqing and Qi Chengyi, and it was impossible for him to see the situation clearly.
While the three of them were talking, there seemed to be the sound of feet stepping on dead leaves.
Swish, swish, swish...
Fu Yunqing and Qi Chengyi both turned back.
Jiang Xingwei saw Jiang Xingwei walking slowly behind the bamboo forest, followed by several Jin Yiwei envoys.
He glanced at the Jin Yiwei behind him, and the Jin Yiwei immediately spread out to guard the surrounding area.
"Unfortunately, Li Quan used a large amount of money to collude with Jin Yiwei, the scumbag Jin Chan, to escape from his shell, and he pursued the case here impartially. He accidentally bumped into Miss Fu and the eighth prince discussing the secret affairs of the late empress's party ten years ago." Jiang Xingwei seemed to have drifted away from the willow tree. Come, put your sleeves and hands behind your waist, and keep your body straight.
Fu Yunqing and Qi Chengyi looked at each other.
A dangerous look flashed across Qi Chengyi's eyes...
Jiang Xingwei was a close minister of the emperor, but fortunately he never participated in partisan disputes, and there was still room for change.
Qi Chengyi casually picked off a green leaf. Fu Yunqing caught a glimpse of his movements and immediately grabbed his sleeve and pulled him behind him.
In fact, Fu Yunqing didn't know that there were many of his killers hidden in this dense forest. With just one order, it was not impossible to kill all Jiang Xingwei today.
It's just that this group of losers actually let Jiang Xingwei slip in.
Jiang Xingwei said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be nervous. Don't you want to know about my past with the late Queen?"
"What kind of history do you have with my mother?" Qi Chengyi frowned.
Fu Yunqing was also curious for a moment.
