At the moment when Jiang Zhu waved his hand and thousands of arrows were ready to be fired, the assassin who drew the bow let out a series of muffled grunts. Jiang Zhu turned around and saw the subordinates around him fell off their horses one by one.
.
When he could see the situation clearly, he realized that a large number of troops had emerged from the forest without knowing it, followed by a hail of arrows. He suddenly felt something was wrong, and was so frightened that he quickly fled with his men.
"Miss, are you okay?"
When the leader arrived in front of Dehua Rujin, he immediately jumped off his horse and asked warmly.
Hua Rujin glanced at the general in front of her and the army he led, and guessed that it was Luo Chuhuai's team who came to meet him.
"I'm fine."
As soon as Hua Rujin finished speaking, Lu Xiuyuan hurriedly led people to chase her. Seeing that Hua Rujin was safe and sound, he looked at the direction in which Jiang Zhu was fleeing and shouted: "Miss Hua, we can't let Jiang Zhu escape.
, the incident in Mount Paektu is inseparable from him.”
Hua Rujin heard the sound and asked him to take care of Qian Yingying and Hua Minze's mother and son, and then she personally led the people to chase them.
As soon as he ran out of the forest, he found that Jiang Zhu and more than ten of his men were deadlocked in place and did not move forward.
She looked towards Wongjia, only to see that the way ahead had been blocked by someone.
The densely packed figures seem to have no end in sight.
Taking a closer look at the leaders, they are none other than King Ning Zhu Zhiye and Wu Muning.
"Jiang Zhu, you are so brave. As a member of the Inspection Department, you dare to collude with King Yun to help the emperor."
Zhu Zhiye glared at Jiang Zhu angrily.
Even Prince Ning came forward, so Jiang Zhu didn't dare to resist anymore. Knowing that the situation was over, he had no choice but to order everyone to put down their weapons and surrender.
After Zhu Zhiye sent someone to capture Jiang Zhu and his entourage, he hurried over immediately. He looked at Dazzling Brocade carefully and reproached with an uneasy look on his face: "Xiao Hua'er, you are really not interesting enough. You don't even want to go to the capital."
I don’t know if I’d like to hear from you, but if you do something good today, how can I feel at ease?”
Hua Rujin smiled at him and said, "I'm fine."
Wu Muning also dismounted immediately. When she saw Qian Yingying brought by Lu Xiuyuan, she asked suspiciously: "Is this the one that His Highness Prince Yun has been longing for?"
"Um."
Hua Rujin responded softly, and then urged: "Now that we have all the witnesses and physical evidence in our hands, without further delay, we will rush to the capital overnight."
"This matter needs to be considered in the long term."
Wei Shuhan knew the emperor's temper, and he might not be able to accept it for a while when his two sons competed for the throne and did things that undermined the majesty of the royal family.
Lu Xiuyuan was a little puzzled: "Mr. Wei, now we have Jiang Zhu, Luo Xuan, and Qian's mother and son for certification. General Ye also handed over the Zhuo family's account books to me before leaving, hoping to identify Prince Fu. Prince Yun is not
Difficult matter."
After thinking about it, he looked at Hua Rujin even more uneasily: "The general may have arrived in Mobei now. If the conspiracy of the two princes cannot be exposed as soon as possible, the war on the front line may be unfavorable."
Although Hua Rujin was worried about Ye Chengwei's safety, she also knew that it was taboo to rashly sue the two princes like this.
After careful consideration, she turned her attention to the anxious Qian Yingying.
Wei Shuhan was very angry when he saw this woman, snorted disdainfully, turned around and left.
"Mrs. Qian, I don't care about the grievances my Hua family has suffered over the years. I can even turn a blind eye to the death of my third uncle. But you are my cousin's biological mother. Please think carefully. If you want
If you keep hiding your secrets and continue to run away, will King Yun let you mother and son go?"
The color of the flower-like eyes gradually turned cold.
Qian Yingying also gradually realized that Zhu Zhichun had no mother and son in his heart at all, and all he loved was his own future.
After pondering for a long time, she finally said: "Please give Miss Hua a chance to speak."
Hua Rujin didn't know what she wanted, so she asked everyone to wait where they were. Only Hua Minze followed her to a secluded place and sat down under the shade of a tree.
Qian Yingying then continued confidently: "I can tell Miss Hua everything I know, and I am even willing to come forward to identify Prince Yun, but I have one condition. I hope Miss Hua can ignore the past grudges and continue to let Min Ze be your
Cousin, keep him safe in this life."
"I can't guarantee that."
Hua Rujin answered truthfully: "But my cousin is an innocent person, and my Hua family is not unreasonable. I will never embarrass him over this matter."
After all, she was not the original owner. The entire Hua family had suffered so much because of this incident. Hua Junqiao lost his life at a young age. She had no right to make this decision for the Hua family.
Hua Minze is now disheartened and has no desire for life. He just wants to know the true situation of what happened back then.
"Tell me quickly, what happened back then, and why did you want to harm my third uncle?"
Listening to her son's impatient tone, Qian Yingying thought about it carefully and finally told her what happened that year:
"When I married into the Cui family, I met Prince Yun soon after. It was also due to vanity. I thought he was handsome and well-known, so I secretly communicated with him. I never wanted to be discovered by my eldest son, and I had an affair with Prince Yun that day.
I happened to see Da Lang returning suddenly, and during the dispute between the two, King Yun killed my Da Lang."
Trying her best to hide her inner panic, she forced herself to continue calmly: "It happened that the third brother of the Hua family came to stay at home that day, so King Yun used the future of the Hua family and the old man of the Hua family as a threat to force the third brother of the Hua family to accept the offer.
I was charged with this groundless crime, and later through the operation of Wen Yuming, Liu Cheng and Tu Hong, I was transferred from prison and I have been hiding until now."
"What an adulterer and whore."
Hua Minze was so angry that he blushed: "You are so shameless and ignorant of the rules, why would you give birth to me again?"
Qian Yingying was speechless. She had been living with regret all these years. If she hadn't missed her only flesh and blood, she would have taken her own life.
Hua Rujin was also very angry, but she couldn't follow Hua Minze and accuse Qian at this time.
If she cannot be persuaded to identify Prince Yun willingly, then her trip will be in vain.
"Jiang Zhu has been staying in Jingzhou Mansion since King Yun returned to the capital. Not long ago, Liu Chengtuhong and Wen Yuming committed an offense. King Yun went to Jiangling City and ordered Jiang Zhu to get rid of these people."
Qian Yingying's only wish now is to win her son's forgiveness, so she told the last news she knew: "The current Grand Master Xue is the former Huguang Chief Envoy. Didn't Miss Hua and Mr. Ye have been tracking down Baitou before?"
Is it the matter of the mine accident in the mountain? Master Xue knows this very well."
After saying that, she took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Hua Rujin: "This is the handwritten letter that Taishi Xue wrote to King Yun back then. The mine was noticed by the patrol censor back then. Taishi Xue originally wanted to
I asked King Yun to tell me how to deal with those people. I never thought that if there was an accident in the mine, there would be no need for King Yun to do it himself, so the matter was covered up."
Hua Rujin took the letter and read it carefully. The content was indeed prepared to deal with the civilian husband.
She was a little curious: "Why did Mrs. Qian secretly hide this letter?"
Qian Yingying squinted her eyes slightly and showed a wry smile: "As Miss Hua said, although he has some affection for me, I also know his temper. Sooner or later, he will abandon me."
Glancing at Hua Minze, her smile became even colder: "I brought it upon myself, but this child Minze is innocent. I really thought he would not kill Minze for the sake of flesh and blood.
It wasn't until I saw the fire in the inn that I realized that the lives of our mother and son were the same to him as the thousands of innocent souls in the Paektu Mountains."
"In that case, please, Madam, please present this letter and everything you know to the emperor truthfully?"
Hua Rujin thrust the letter back into her hand and asked tentatively.
Qian Yingying looked at Hua Minze intently. After a long time, she finally nodded with relief: "I listen to Miss Hua."
