"Do you think you can live a good life if you kill me? Can you survive knowing other people's secrets?"
After Nangong Yanran said this, several people looked at Nangong Yanran thoughtfully.
"How about I tell you a way."
"explain."
"This is for you." Nangong Yanran took out a jade pendant from her arms, "You give it to her. I will need you to testify against her when the time comes. After the matter is completed, I will give you double her price."
The conditions offered by Nangong Yanran are indeed very tempting, and of course a few people will be tempted.
"Won't you find someone to kill us after that?"
"Kill you. I didn't ask you to kill people or set fires. What I said is all true. Why should I kill you?"
A few people thought about it, felt it made sense, and readily agreed.
Prime Minister's Mansion. The next day.
"The matter has been settled, this is for you." Only one person came to see the second lady today, and he handed the jade pendant of Nangong Yanran to the second lady.
"Well, this is one hundred taels of silver." The second lady held the jade pendant with excitement on her face.
The big man took the silver and left without saying anything, but the second lady waved her hand and a man walked out from behind the bed. This man was none other than the second lady's biological son Nangong Yang.
"Yang'er, be careful."
Everyone must understand what the second lady said.
Nangong Yang followed the big man, thinking that she would go to find a few other people, but the big man walked in another direction. Nangong Yang followed carefully, but who knew that she would end up in Nangong Rui's study.
In the study room.
Nangong Rui sat there solemnly, with a look of displeasure on his face, for no other reason than what Nangong Yanran, who was sitting below, had just said.
"You are getting more and more presumptuous. You dare to make up these words to deceive me. Do you think you can deceive me with this little trick?"
Nangong Yanran said that the second lady wanted to kill her, and Nangong Rui's first reaction was to lie. He seemed to have expected Nangong Rui to think this way from the beginning, and did not act too surprised or angry, "I have witnesses, come in!"
"He didn't care whether Nangong Rui would give in or not, and just called them in.
Nangong Yang, who was following the big man, saw them all entering the study and felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly went to find the second lady.
"Tell me what the second lady ordered you to do."
"yes."
You guys look at me, I look at you, no one dares to come out and say anything, mainly the influential figures in the city in front of you.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the Second Madam came to us yesterday and asked us to kill the Sixth Miss. We will thank you greatly after the deed is done." Finally, he had the courage to stand up and tell the story, and after saying that, he also gave the Second Madam what he had just given.
One hundred taels of silver was handed to Nangong Rui.
Nangong Rui took the bag of silver and didn't open it, because he knew what they said was true when he saw the cloth wrapping the silver.
This cloth was a reward from the emperor, and after he got it back, he gave it all to the second lady, so this matter was already clear without any further questions.
"Go find her." Nangong Rui slapped the table and walked directly outside.
Although Nangong Yanran didn't know how she was so sure, the second lady was going to shoot herself in the foot this time.
Nangong Rui brought a group of people, followed by Nangong Yanran and the big men, to the place where the second lady lived. Nangong Rui immediately opened the door, but he bumped into the second lady who was going out with her luggage.
