Chapter 541 The Taoist Priest whose name is unknown
"Since you have already planned to assassinate the imperial envoy, why do you want to kill the fish fry I raised?"
Chu Nanzhi still looked at Qi Jiang in confusion, feeling as if she had some serious illness and that she had offended someone.
"snort."
Qi Jiang snorted coldly: "You have deprived us of a way to live, and we will not let you have a way to survive. The person who came to deliver the message may be trying to instigate the relationship between Prince Pingning and the Tang family, but I want it.
It’s just your life.”
"You want to kill me after poisoning ten thousand fry?"
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but laugh.
It would be more effective for him to focus on assassinating the imperial envoys.
At least that way, even if Lin Jinxiao can protect herself this time, it will plant seeds of doubt in his heart and make the entire Tang family hate her.
I'm afraid this is the real intention of the person who sent the message.
Again, he was instigated and used.
Chu Nanzhi shook his head helplessly: "Who sent you a letter asking you to assassinate the imperial envoy to frame me?"
"I don't know that person."
Qi Jiang replied with a frown.
"You don't know this person, so you just follow orders?"
Chu Nanzhi was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I think what that person said makes sense. Since you and King Pingning entered the city, they have disturbed the Qi family to a great extent. Now my godmother's family, including the children and the family, are all dead and imprisoned because of you and your wife.
They were harmed by two people.”
Qi Jiang knew that he had no way to survive, so he simply vented happily: "Not only have you robbed the Qi family's property and land, but you have also married into the Tang family. You have not left any way for us to survive. You want to live back to the past.
In this day and age, the only way is to overthrow you and your wife. When the Tang Governor takes over Pingning Prefecture, we will naturally be able to give us a peaceful life."
"You have a pretty good idea."
Chu Nanzhi was speechless to the extreme. These simple-minded bandits are really easy to deceive: "I can tell you clearly that you will never see that day. If you want to save the lives of your people, you will give up everything you know."
Five ten, tell it honestly."
"Everything that labor and management have to explain has been explained, and you can kill or behead them as you please."
Qi Jiang gritted his teeth and replied cursing.
Quite a tough guy.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the group of people brought back by Xie Jingchen one by one. He must have been unable to find the whereabouts of the messenger.
Now that they have explained everything, there is no need to hide it for others.
Moreover, if they really knew it, telling them would alleviate their guilt.
After thinking for a while, she faced the other assassins and asked thoughtfully: "Have you ever seen the face of the person who sent the message?"
Qi Jiang refused to answer any more. A boy beside him was afraid of being tortured by Xie Jingchen and immediately confessed: "I've seen it before. He only said that he was a Taoist who had received favors from the Qi family and wanted to help the Qi family take revenge."
.”
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized.
I really don’t know what kind of eloquent Taoist he is.
No wonder this man could incite these young men to commit assassination. It turned out that he had the same hatred and hatred as them.
"Sang Kun, take them back and draw a portrait of that person to see if you can find any clues."
Chu Nanzhi ordered with some uncertainty.
Just as Sang Kun was about to ask someone to take them down, Chu Nanzhi felt something was wrong, and then asked: "How much arsenic did you use to bring them to the pond in Tong'an Village?"
"Twenty pounds."
The boy next to Qi Jiang replied without thinking.
"Twenty pounds?"
Chu Nanzhi frowned suspiciously.
Ten kilograms were seized in the yard. Adding the twenty kilograms to the total was only thirty kilograms. Where did the five kilograms of arsenic go?
Chu Nanzhi recalled Qi Jiang's words. He said that he wanted to put himself to death, but he didn't just trust the person who sent the message. He must have had other plans than just poisoning his own fry.
Based on her initial guess, she immediately had a bad premonition and urged Sang Qi in a hurry: "Sang Qi, take a few people back to the restaurant and see if anything happens."
Sang Qi also remembered that all the medical clinics reported that the unknown person purchased thirty-five kilograms of arsenic for a large amount of money. She also realized that something was wrong and asked several sergeants to accompany them and hurried towards the city on horseback.
After waiting for Sang Qi to leave and looking at the mess in the Li family courtyard, Chu Nanzhi ordered Chen Chuan: "Let's go back home as soon as possible."
It was really disappointing to have a wonderful wedding banquet ruined like this.
She went over to hold the horse angrily, and her mind couldn't help but think of the person who instigated Lin Jinhong to assassinate her a while ago, and she didn't know if it was the same person.
This person knows his true identity very well, and he is good at stirring up hatred and killing people with a borrowed knife. He is indeed very smart.
Xie Jingchen looked at her listless look and didn't know how to comfort her. He suddenly took out an imperial edict from his arms and quietly handed it to her hand, and said with a sad expression:
"You have given birth to two pairs of children for King Pingning. I thought that you and your wife have a deep love for each other. Your husband must be a strange man with deep love. I never thought that he is also a powerful man who wants to make friends with powerful people.
The little princess was brought into the palace as a concubine, and she even asked the court for a marriage."
Having said this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Asking for a marriage to a side concubine, where does this put you, the princess of the royal family?"
"He has his own reasons. Prince Xie doesn't know the inside story, so he doesn't need to blindly complain about me."
Chu Nanzhi replied calmly that she did not want to explain to him the private matter between her and the pretty boy.
Xie Jingchen felt extremely depressed in his heart.
He would rather give up his glory, wealth, and even his country for the one he loves, and come to the Dahe Empire alone. He never expected to see her and see her suffer such injustice.
What's even more annoying is that she doesn't allow herself to blame her husband.
I wanted to persuade her a few more words, but I heard the sound of horse hooves suddenly ringing out all around. Not long after, I saw a heroic general in white armor leading a group of dark troops surrounding her.
Chu Nanzhi looked up and saw that it was Ji Cen'an who had arrived. She had found out the matter and could give everyone an explanation for the time being. She enjoyed it and teased excitedly: "Commander Ji, don't you stay in the house?"
Why are you leading your army out of the city in the middle of the night when you are having a banquet?"
In fact, deep down in my heart, I had already guessed that Lin Jinxiao must have been worried about him, so he asked him to come and take care of him.
The pretty boy was really worrying too much. With a strong general like Chen Chuan and Sang Kun, Sang Qi and his brother and sister protecting him closely, nothing could happen.
Ji Cen'an dismounted from his horse and reached her. He looked at Xie Jingchen beside her lightly and replied respectfully: "Brother Jinxiao is sending people to capture Qi family members in the city. He is worried that someone will be harmful to his brother and sister-in-law, so he deliberately
I asked my little brother to come over."
"It's not okay for me. The murderer has also been caught."
Chu Nanzhi noticed that his eyes had been falling on Xie Jingchen, and explained: "On the way, I met the prince of the Baiyu tribe who came for peace talks. He also helped me capture the main criminal Qi Jiang."
"It turns out that he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ten Clan of Baiyu. It is really disrespectful and disrespectful."
Ji Cen'an had long heard that the Baiyu people sent a delegation to the court and asked the state government to arrange it in the post house. He never thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would come in person.
But how he met his brother and sister-in-law is puzzling. One left from the north of the city and the other came from the south. What such a coincidence?
