The next day—

After a night of fermentation, this matter has spread to the ears of almost every common person in the city.

As soon as the genius was revealed, many people gathered outside the gate of the prefect's house, demanding an explanation from Jiang Yunluo or Wei Yan.

Wei Yan did not dare to make a conclusion, so he had to send someone to find Jiang Yunluo.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yunluo was still in no hurry and only asked Wei Yan to explain to the public that the matter was still under investigation.

But the people didn't buy it.

Everyone worked hard and finally saw some hope of harvest, but no one could bear it being wantonly destroyed like this.

In the house——

Li Fugui was on pins and needles.

After only one day, he couldn't help but take the initiative to find Jiang Yunluo.

But before he could enter the hospital, he was stopped by a secret guard.

"The princess has been working hard for days and is feeling a little unwell. She doesn't see anyone."

Li Fugui hurriedly smiled to please.

"Then... can you please help me, my two eldest brothers, and ask the princess for me, when can I go home?"

"I will naturally let you go back when you can."

one of them replied.

Li Fugui's expression froze when he heard this, and he refused to give up: "This...since this matter has nothing to do with the grassroots, why does the princess keep the grassroots here? Please two elder brothers, please be accommodating and ask for the grassroots... Just asking One sentence, after asking, the common people will never bother you again!"

The two secret guards looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay, just wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the courtyard, and walked out not long after.

"The princess said, you can stay here in peace. No one dares to embarrass you here. After the matter is found out, they will naturally let you go."

"This... the grassroots know..."

Li Fugui got the answer and finally left.

In the house——

"I thought he could wait two more days."

Huayue put one hand on the edge of the table with a playful expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, the back of his hand was hit moderately by a fruit shell.

"Are you addicted to watching movies?"

Jiang Yunluo glanced at him amusedly but speechlessly, and handed over a small bottle: "Here, hold it to scare people, and I'll leave it to you tonight."

"rest assured."

Hua Yue raised her eyebrows and put the small bottle in her pocket.

late at night--

The number of servants walking around in the mansion gradually decreased.

Until there is no one left.

In the night, a black shadow quickly passed over the eaves.

Like a bird, it fluttered on the top of the tree and looked down at the courtyard where Li Fugui lived.

From his position, he could easily see that there were people secretly guarding the yard, as if they were watching.

Jiang Yunluo's guess was indeed correct.

The people behind Li Fugui would not let him go just like this.

Although he won't do anything in the house, he will definitely watch in secret to prevent him from talking nonsense.

"Tsk..."

Hua Yue clicked her tongue lightly, her voice fell, and the person disappeared.

A few moments later——

The black shadow silently rolled into the courtyard, and further forward was the house where Li Fugui lived.

With his skills, it was easy to avoid those who were secretly watching.

In the room, Li Fugui snored intermittently.

Once the window is open, the sound gets louder.

"Heh, I slept well..."

Huayue sneered, walked to the bed in a few steps, pulled out the dagger, put it against his neck, and applied slight force.

Sure enough, the sharp sting made the person on the bed stop snoring instantly!

Then he slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he saw a masked man in black standing next to his bed, Li Fugui's confusion instantly turned into panic, and he opened his mouth to scream!

However, Huayue moved faster and flicked the pill hidden in her palm into his throat!

"Uh...cough! Cough! Cough!!!!"

Li Fugui immediately started coughing violently!

There was also a burning pain in my throat!

When I tried to speak again, I found that my voice had become hoarse!

"You...who are you! What did you give me to eat..."

He asked in a breathy voice, his eyes widening.

Huayue chuckled: "Of course it's poison. The matter has been settled. Is it possible that I still keep you?"

With that said, he grabbed Li Fugui's arm and made a show of trying to stuff the second one!

"what!"

Li Fugui was so frightened that he struggled crazily in an instant and continued in a hoarse voice: "You... you! You don't keep your word!"

"Unbelievable?"

Huayue moved for a moment and stopped.

Ah.

The truth comes too easily.

He hasn't done enough yet.

Thinking about it, he pulled off his face towel.

Li Fugui saw his face clearly, and his eyes suddenly opened wider than before!

"You...you are...with...the princess..."

He was speechless, but despair slowly rose in his eyes, and he understood everything.

Huayue didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Who instigated you, it's best to say it directly, otherwise the medicine just burned your throat is just the beginning. If there is no antidote, your throat will be burned next." The internal organs..."

After hearing the last four words, Li Fugui shuddered and fell into silence.

Huayue added: "The princess said that if you take the initiative to confess, you will be given a lighter punishment."

Li Fugui opened his mouth slightly.

After a long while, he finally said helplessly: "It's... Zhao Sinong..."

Huayue's expression changed.

He originally thought that Li Fugui would directly identify Sanmu next to Luo Mingyu.

"What benefits did Zhao Qingyuan promise you?"

Huayue continued to ask.

Li Fugui did not hesitate this time and said hoarsely: "He said...as long as I help him accomplish this...after returning to the capital, he will take me away with him...give me another sum of money and do some small things..." Buy and sell, from now on, my descendants will not have to suffer in this dry land...I...I was confused for a moment..."

"Do you have any evidence or tokens?"

Huayue was not in the mood to hear him defend herself.

Li Fugui nodded immediately and said: "Yes! He...he once gave me a bead...and I hid it in my pillow at home..."

"Okay, you'd better tell the truth."

Huayue said the last word, turned around and left.

"This big brother!"

Li Fugui hurriedly reached out to grab him: "I promise...what I said is absolutely true! The antidote to the pill just now..."

His throat hurt as if it had been sliced ​​by a razor blade, and his internal organs seemed to be really burning.

There was a hint of coolness in Huayue's eyes, and she immediately shook the person away.

"I won't die within seven days. Starting tomorrow, as long as you cooperate honestly, everything will be fine."

As soon as the words fell, there was no trace of the person.

After half an hour—

He climbed into the room again through the window.

But this time it's Jiang Yunluo's.

Jiang Yunluo was sitting at the table reading a book when she heard the sound and glanced at him calmly.

"Why don't you leave if there is a door?"

Hearing this, Hua Yue suddenly smiled slyly: "It's past midnight, so if we meet at this time, we can't leave the door..."

The implication is that they are... having a tryst.

Jiang Yunluo: "..."

Jiang Yunluo pretended not to understand and closed the book: "It's been so long. Why did Li Fugui tell you all the eighteen generations of his ancestors?"

words fall——

His broad palm suddenly opened in front of her.

In the center, lies a red bead.
