"do not want!"

The person on the bed cried out and struggled to roll down, but it was too late to prevent the person hiding inside from being discovered.

Yun Nian looked at the man who looked somewhat similar to Scarface and sighed.

"Your heartbeat is so loud, don't you think anyone would notice it? If it wasn't Qi Ming who came in, you would have been caught long ago."

Qi Ming, who was glaring at his brother, suddenly felt that this didn't seem to be a good thing for him. But even if he dared to talk back to Zuo Mingyuan, he wouldn't dare to say no to Yun Nian's words even if he had ten thousand guts.

"Tell me, Zhang Hu, Zhang Wei, what happened?"

At this moment, the sun has completely set, and the night is like spilled ink, completely covering the day in an instant.

Zuo Mingyuan turned on the light silently, and the candlelight flickered in the stuffy room.

"It's none of my brother's business. He just, just."

But Zhang Wei still couldn't say anything. If he wasn't the only one poisoned, he didn't know how he would have the face to defend himself.

Compared to his brother's panic, Zhang Hu seemed much calmer. He lived up to his name, and was very sturdy. However, his sunken cheeks showed that he had suffered a lot.

He snorted coldly and glanced at his brother with some annoyance.

"It's my bad luck to be caught. You were the only one assigned to me, and you foolishly trusted me. I didn't want you anymore, so why did you still listen to me?"

It is true that Yun Nian and the others were lucky, as the poison was not administered at the same time. However, many people agreed to come back to poison the area. They were all refugees, so if they could agree to one request, they could get food and money. Why not do it?

"Those who refused were killed. I had no other choice. Now that I have been discovered, I will naturally admit defeat."

He stiffened his neck, and Qi Ming was so angry that he slapped him several times.

Yun Nian felt like his head was going to explode. These guys from Feiyu Tower were so cruel that they forced the fleeing refugees to attack their own family members.

Even the most brutal villain should not do such a thing.

"And the man who gave you the order?"

She interrupted Qi Ming's angry questioning and said calmly,

Zhang Hu saw that she was a beautiful woman, but he looked scoundrel.

"If you ask me, I'll tell you. Why don't you get closer..."

Before he could finish his words, the long sword had already swung down and stopped at his chest. Zhang Hu felt warm liquid flowing down his cheek.

"It's okay. I forgive your recklessness, but if you don't speak properly, I will give you an unforgettable experience. Have you heard of scorpion ants? In the desert, such creatures can eat you into a hollow shell. Do you want to try it?"

Although she was smiling, she looked like a monster from a strange story. Zhang Hu felt an inexplicable fear and calmed down immediately.

"I don't know where they are now. They just said that they will come to pick us up soon after we poison them. This, this is the banknote they gave us."

He took out a brand new banknote from his pocket and handed it over reluctantly.

Zuo Mingyuan took it curiously, played with it in his hands, and then looked at Zhang Hu with an indescribable look.

"Are you missing a bone in your head? Take a good look at this banknote and see if it's real."

He rubbed his hands gently, and the thin piece of paper turned into two thinner pieces of paper in the blink of an eye, and the ink on it also separated.

"This, the Lord said, this is the silver note commonly used in Luochuan. I once secretly took the silver note from Lord Qi Ming's bag, and it looks like this, right?"

Zhang Hu was almost stunned, and he didn't even hear Qi Ming jumping up and down and scolding him.

Yun Nian kindly reminded him,

"Since more and more people have been counterfeiting, Luochuan City has already stopped using silver notes. It will only continue to promote them after His Royal Highness the Regent has someone make paper that is not easily counterfeited. So it's obvious that you've been cheated."

Hearing this, Zhang Hu felt as if the sky had fallen. His expression changed several times, and then he snatched the banknote and tore it up.

"You actually lied to me! Then what did I do?!"

"Tsk tsk, Feiyulou is a killer organization. Their favorite thing to do is to kill people to silence them. How can you think that someone from such an organization would be willing to give you money?"

Fear and greed can change a person beyond recognition. If it were a peaceful day, there wouldn't be so many people being fooled. Yun Nian could only sigh.

"So, to vent your anger, tell me everything you know."

……

"how's it going?"

Wei Qingjue pressed his forehead and looked at the person kneeling on the ground. Qian Hui stood beside him with a bad look on his face.

"Your Majesty, the people of Dongling have searched everywhere and found no trace of Bai Ju. However, they saw dozens of pearls on the beach he often went to. I guess they were dropped by him."

In such a hurry, they didn't even have time to take the pearls away. Bai Ju must have met with an accident. I don't know if he is still alive.

"Their actions are becoming more and more rampant, and their hands have already reached out to me."

The person sitting on the high seat snorted coldly. Qian Hui could no longer suppress his anxiety. Bai Ju was his only brother. He absolutely could not wait like this. Whether he was dead or alive, he had to find the person.

"It's no use worrying. After so long, even if there were any traces, they would have disappeared long ago."

Wei Qingjue frowned, threw a thick stack of secret letters into the candlelight, and then said to his subordinates,

"But go ahead and come back as soon as you find the person."

Qian Hui immediately followed the order and withdrew. The people kneeling on the ground also left sensibly.

In Chang'an Palace, only the faint candlelight was shining.

"Song Yanga, what exactly do you want to do?"

Wei Qingjue's face was gloomy. He took out a letter. The signature on the letter was in the shape of a little fox. It didn't look like a seal, but rather like someone had drawn it stroke by stroke for self-entertainment.

"Alfalfa, I finally got the person I've been waiting for. Aren't you happy for me? After all, I helped you before. But, I heard that you like her. You better come quickly. Otherwise, she will only be my toy."

The three words "Song Yanga" were left at the end. The sloppy handwriting seemed to show off. The letter was crumpled into a ball by Wei Qingjue and turned into ashes like the other secret letters.

"National Master, huh, he's just an old fellow who refuses to die."

He stood up, and the candlelight cast an even larger shadow on his tall figure, almost covering the entire window frame of the Chang'an Palace.

"If you want to do it, it depends on whether I allow it."

He kissed a hairpin gently with a soft expression.
