Su Ye did not continue to struggle in Dali Temple, but took Mo Yi away from Dali Temple and came to Tianlao.
He came here just to hear what Yan Lingshan had to say.
Yan Lingshan may also be a pawn in the assassination operation, but she may be able to provide some clues.
When I walked into the Tianlao, I felt like it was dark, dark and humid, and the air was filled with the smell of musty and blood.
All those imprisoned here are repeat offenders from the imperial court.
They will spend their whole lives in darkness, and this is their final destination.
Su Ye came to the cell where Yan Lingshan was held, and saw her huddled in the corner, thin and with confused eyes.
Seeing Su Ye come in, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Prime Minister Su, you are here."
Her voice was weak and hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time.
Su Ye nodded slightly, walked up to her, and said gently:
"I came here to know what you know."
Yan Lingshan fell into silence, as if she had lost the ability to think.
Su Ye did not rush and waited patiently.
He knew that the only thing Yan Lingshan cared about was the empress Yan Lichu, so he said:
"If you still don't cooperate, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch the person behind this threat to His Majesty."
Yan Lingshan's calm expression finally seemed to have cracks, but she still did not speak.
He just bit his lip tightly, as if he was having a fierce ideological struggle.
When Su Ye saw this, he felt a little clear in his heart.
He knew that although Yan Lingshan was weak and kind-hearted, she had a strong heart.
To get her to speak, you have to touch her inner weakness.
"Yan Lingshan, do you know that His Majesty Yan Lichu is in danger now and she needs your help."
Su Ye's tone was sincere and his eyes were firm.
Hearing Yan Lichu's name, Yan Lingshan's body trembled slightly, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
She was silent for a long time and finally spoke:
"Prime Minister Su, you don't have to waste your time on me."
"I lied to His Majesty. Even if Your Majesty sentences me to death, I still deserve it."
After saying that, the light in Yan Lingshan's eyes seemed to go out, and she said with her last strength:
"Prime Minister Su, you are a god in predicting events. You will definitely be able to protect His Majesty's safety."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and refused to speak again.
Seeing this, Su Ye knew that Yan Lingshan had her own principles and pride, and this was the limit of what she could bear.
She was loyal to Yan Lichu until she became a part of the conspiracy to murder the empress.
In addition, the life experience that he had always concealed was revealed.
The double blow broke her defense.
Such a feeling of loyalty had appeared in him once upon a time.
Su Ye sighed slightly, respected Yan Lingshan's choice, and turned around to leave the prison.
At this point, only Yan Lichu's forgiveness can open Yan Lingshan's heart.
Su Ye returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking about various doubts about the case.
He knew that there must be a hidden secret behind the silence in Dali Temple.
There may be key clues hidden in those assassins who were silenced.
So, he made a comeback and came to a teahouse diagonally opposite Dali Temple.
He chose a good location where he could see the main entrance of Dali Temple and asked the waiter to bring him a cup of good tea.
While working on the case, he did not forget to drink tea.
It wasn't until the sky turned completely dark that I saw officials from Dali Temple coming out one after another.
It seems that today's silence has caused severe torture to everyone in Dali Temple.
He stared at Dali Temple intently, and then he saw the official with a strange expression appearing today.
Mo Yi immediately got up and chased after him, preventing the official from escaping.
Soon, he avoided everyone's eyes and ears, covered the official's mouth, and dragged him to a small alley at the corner of the street.
"Who are you?" The official struggled in fear, trying to escape from Mo Yi's control.
Mo Yi looked at him coldly and said nothing.
It wasn't until Su Ye showed up belatedly that the official realized that he had been targeted by Prime Minister Su.
The official knew that he could not escape, so he stopped trying to break away and said in a panic:
"I...I don't know anything, Prime Minister Su, please spare my life!"
Su Ye sneered:
"If you really don't know anything, why did you show up at the scene and act so nervous?"
The official turned pale and trembled with fear, but still did not dare to reveal a word.
Seeing this, Su Ye became more and more certain that something was wrong with this person. He decided to find another way to pry open the official's mouth.
"You were bribed just because your old mother is seriously ill. If you speak obediently, I will ensure that your mother gets the best treatment. If you still resist, don't blame me for being cruel."
Su Ye's tone was cold, and his eyes showed firm determination.
When the official heard this, his body trembled even more violently, and uncontrollable tears fell down his cheeks.
It turns out that all of my secrets have nowhere to hide in front of the white-clad Su Ye’s Jin Yiwei.
He knew that what Su Ye said was true. Once this selfless prime minister made up his mind, he would definitely do what he said.
"I...I can't say, they will kill me."
The official looked at Su Ye in fear, his body shaking even more violently.
Su Ye always knew the technique of using both strength and softness, so he slowed down his tone and said softly:
"Don't worry, Jin Yiwei will protect your safety. As long as you tell the truth, I will keep you away from this storm."
The official hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind and whispered:
"It was the subordinates of the Assistant Minister Chen Mu who did it, and he and I were asked to cooperate internally and externally.
"He said those assassins knew too much and they must all be silenced."
"Chen Mu?" A trace of doubt flashed in Su Ye's eyes, "Then what was that piece of flesh and blood that he dug out?"
When the official heard that Su Ye knew even these details, he didn't dare to hide it:
"Those assassins all have the same pattern on their right arms. I...I can draw it!"
Mo Yi immediately found a pen and paper. The official took it tremblingly and drew a strange pattern.
Su Ye looked at it carefully, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"As expected." He whispered to himself, already having a calculation in his mind.
He turned to Mo Yi and said in a deep voice:
"Mo Yi, immediately go investigate Chen Mu's movements, and at the same time protect this official and his mother."
Mo Yi took the order and left. Before leaving, he glanced at the official with a firm light in his eyes.
Su Ye returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking about his next plan.
He knew that the key to this case was not only to find the mastermind behind the case, but also to untie Yan Lingshan's knot.
He thought for a moment and decided to go see Yan Lichu first.
In the palace, Yan Lichu was sitting in the imperial study, looking worried.
She knew that there must be a secret behind the assassination, and Yan Lingshan's silence made her feel uneasy.
At this time, Su Ye walked into the imperial study room. When Yan Lichu saw him, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"Prime Minister Su, do you have any clues?" she asked eagerly.
