The opportunity came soon. Ning Tianshou received a report from his cronies, and Pan Xiaoxian began to cook porridge for the victims in person.
"Ah."
Ning Tianshou sneered: "If you are seeking death yourself, you can't blame others."
Pan Xiaoxian went to cook porridge himself again, doing it himself, and began to win people's hearts.
Next, Ning Tianshou made the same arrangement: "Go find the official who has been selected long ago. Remember, don't forget to hide the poison in the official's mouth. If he is discovered, he will commit suicide immediately."
"boom!"
As soon as he finished saying this, Ning Tianshou's study window was suddenly kicked open, and Zhang Fengyi broke in with Jin Yiwei.
Pan Xiaoxian followed and walked in. He opened the door of the study directly without using the window.
"you……"
Ning Tianshou was frightened. Thinking that he had the support of the prince behind him, he quickly calmed down: "What do you want to do? Breaking into an official's home privately is a serious crime."
"What?"
Pan Xiaoxian sneered: "I came here today for nothing else, just to arrest the criminals who poisoned the victims."
Ning Tianshou said harshly: "Crime? What evidence do you have that I poisoned the victims?"
evidence?
Pan Xiaoxian gave way and someone came out from behind.
Princess Changle said expressionlessly: "I have heard everything you said. What more evidence do you want?"
When Ning Tianshou saw Princess Changle coming, he couldn't stand still and almost collapsed to the ground.
With Princess Changle's testimony, Ning Tianshou had only one end: he would be thrown into prison and awaiting beheading.
Cold sweat broke out on Ning Tianshou's forehead, and he stretched out his sleeve to wipe it: "I just said it casually. I can't understand Pan Xiaoxian, but he didn't actually poison the victims."
The green-suited official we found last time had committed suicide by taking poison. Without any other witnesses, we could drag him on.
Pan Xiaoxian said coldly: "What you say may be useful to ordinary government officials, but you have forgotten my identity."
identity?
Ning Tianshou looked confused at first, then his eyes widened as he suddenly remembered.
Pan Xiaoxian's identity was a Jin Yiwei, and no other evidence was needed. As long as Princess Changle heard that Ning Tianshou was planning to poison the victims, she could be directly arrested and sent to prison.
Pan Xiaoxian smiled: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense. Come on, arrest Ning Tianshou and interrogate him properly."
Zhang Fengyi knew what the sentence "interrogation" meant, so she added the word "haohao" in front of it, so there was only one meaning.
Through this interrogation, Ning Tianshou must be tortured until he is half dead.
Zhang Fengyi was unwilling to torture prisoners and couldn't handle the fact that Pan Xiaoxian was the nephew of the Queen Mother. There were many people in the Jinyi Guard who were willing to do the dirty work of torturing Ning Tianshou and curry favor with Pan Xiaoxian who was already a member of the Qianhu household.
Ning Tianshou was caught and imprisoned, and was tortured in all kinds of cruel ways.
Until this time, Ning Tianshou finally began to regret that he should not provoke Pan Xiaoxian.
Especially since Pan Xiaoxian was a Qianhu member of the Imperial Guard and the nephew of the Queen Mother, he had many crazy dogs under his command.
Jin Yiwei's mad dog does not bite people, it only tortures them.
Pan Xiaoxian stood nearby, watching Ning Tianshou being tortured by Jin Yiwei, but he was still in a happy mood.
This is something he has wanted to do for a long time, and it finally came true today.
Pan Xiaoxian picked up a water ladle and poured it on Ning Tianshou's face: "Tell me, who asked you to poison the victims."
Ning Tianshou woke up from his coma and raised his head with difficulty, becoming very weak.
Pan Xiaoxian's questions forced him to reveal the real mastermind behind the scenes.
Ning Tianshou didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to kill him.
As long as Ning Tianshou reveals the prince behind it, he will not be the only one to die, but the whole family will suffer as well.
Ning Tianshou said weakly: "I did it all. There was no one else behind it. It was me who wanted to frame you."
"No move?"
Pan Xiaoxian sneered: "You dare to poison the victims. There must be others behind you. Keep fighting."
After receiving Pan Xiaoxian's instructions, Jin Yiwei picked up the whip in his hand and began to torture Ning Tianshou again.
All kinds of torture in the imperial prison were used on Ning Tianshou in turn, until he almost lost his human form.
Ning Tianshou was tortured so much that he had no choice but to say weakly: "You... don't ask, it's enough to catch me. If the person behind it is revealed, the Queen Mother's current position is not stable enough. There will be a lot of bloodshed."
Princess Changle spoke: "I know who the mastermind behind this is. Just like what Ning Tianshou said, I can't continue to ask questions."
Pan Xiaoxian sneered: "Don't think about the people behind your back to protect you. I can only find your head. It's not because I'm afraid, but because I'm taking care of the Queen Mother's face."
The position of the Queen Mother is not stable enough yet, and it is not the time to break up.
Anyway, it has been found out that this matter is related to the four feudal kings, and that is enough.
Zhang Fengyi asked: "What should I do with this person?"
Pan Xiaoxian directly sentenced him to death: "Send him to the Criminal Department for interrogation. After he is convicted, he will be executed in the autumn."
"No……"
Ning Tianshou began to plead: "There is still use in keeping me. As long as you are willing to leave me a dog's life, you will be willing to work as a cow or a horse for thousands of households in the future."
Pan Xiaoxian smiled disdainfully: "Even if you want to raise a dog, you must raise a loyal dog. A dog like you might bite its owner one day."
Ning Tianshou looked at Pan Xiaoxian's leaving figure and felt desperate. He could only wait to be beheaded.
Pan Xiaoxian got the result he wanted, and immediately went to the palace with Ning Tianshou's confession and found the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother."
Pan Xiaoxian walked into the palace and took out the confession that had been fingerprinted: "The real culprit behind the scenes has been caught, and the vassal king is also involved, so the interrogation will not continue."
The Queen Mother walked to Pan Xiaoxian, held his hand and said, "The harem is all our own. When there are no ministers around, you should still call me aunt."
Pan Xiaoxian said cheerfully: "Auntie."
The Queen Mother smiled, took the confession, read it, and then handed it to a eunuch next to her.
Pan Xiaoxian said angrily: "We should continue to investigate and find the vassal king behind Ning Tianshou."
The Queen Mother shook her head: "This step of the investigation is enough. We can't continue to investigate further. Now is not the time to quarrel."
Pan Xiaoxian held the Queen Mother's hand tightly: "Don't worry, aunt. When aunt has enough power, I will take the lead and be the first to capture those princes."
The Queen Mother was in a dilemma and did not want her nephew to take the lead, lest she be retaliated against later.
However, this kind of thing can only be left to one's own people, and I don't feel safe leaving it to others.
"Cousin can't go back on his word."
The little emperor suddenly appeared and said happily: My cousin has promised his mother today, and we can't hide when the time comes. "
Pan Xiaoxian smiled: "A real man spits on you and nails it. If you say it yourself today, you won't regret it."
The Queen Mother couldn't stop her and could only sigh: "Let's talk about it then. You should continue to provide disaster relief this time. Only if you gain enough reputation can you be promoted."
