Zhang Zhongjing slept all night without figuring out why he was tricked by Jiang Hao into giving him another hundred taels of silver.

As for the antidote, it doesn’t matter who feeds it.

How can it be wrong to be attentive to others?

The little girl's tricks are too deep, and he is too old to handle it.

unhappy.

After Jiang Huaiqing was able to speak, Xu Xing interrogated him overnight.

After matching Lu Zhan's account books and codes with each other, Jiang Huaiqing received silver fourteen times and gold bars six times in six years, totaling nearly 400,000 taels.

Each entry records the time, quantity, and even the weather conditions of the day, all of which are recorded in the book.

The evidence was irrefutable and Jiang Huaiqing had no way to defend himself, so he simply pretended to be dead and mute.

Xu Xing is not someone who can be easily fooled, nor is he a soft-hearted person. If Jiang Huaiqing does not explain where the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have gone, the torture instruments in the cell will be used one after another... on Jiang Bowen.

To hit a snake, you have to hit it at its most vulnerable part. Jiang Huaiqing cares most about his son Jiang Bowen.

Unless, Jiang Huaiqing is pretending to love his son.

It is true that Jiang Huaiqing loves his son, but he cannot say what he cannot say. So, with the thought that he will die anyway, he calmed down and told Xu Xing a shocking secret.

He would take someone with him even if he died. This was the only way for him to take Jiang Hao with him.

Xu Xing and Zhang Zhongjing were both shocked and did not say anything.

After a long time, Xu Xing made a bold decision.

Jiang Huaiqing was thrown back into the cell screaming “Ahhhhhh”.

Soon, Song was inexplicably unable to speak and her hands could not move.

"Prince, is what Jiang Huaiqing said true?"

Zhang Zhongjing came out after finishing his work, but he was still not at peace.

What happened more than a decade ago was so tragic that it seems as if the loss of more than twenty lives happened just yesterday.

Xu Xing shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking. It was not until Zhuifeng and Jinglei arrived that he said to Zhang Zhongjing, "This matter concerns her life, and must not be mentioned to anyone else."

"Yes."

……

In addition to the Jiang family, according to the records in Lu Zhan's account books, the prefect Xie Mingyuan, the governor Conanxin and more than a dozen officials of all sizes in the entire Yuzhou Prefecture had all lent their hands to one degree or another.

This matter involves a wide range of people, and behind these people are major officials in Kyoto, clans, the Duke's Mansion, and so on.

Although Luo Cheng was ready to lead his troops to arrest people at any time, Xu Xing was not in a hurry to do so. He sent the news back to the capital in an urgent manner of 800 miles and asked the emperor to make a decision.

Before coming here, Xu Xing had thought about the depth of the water, but he never thought it would be so deep.

Kyoto.

In an ancient and heavy study, a white-haired old man slowly placed chess pieces on the chessboard. The black and white pieces fought against each other, neither of them was willing to give in.

The attendants standing below bowed and waited, listening quietly to the old man's instructions.

After a long time, the smoke from the agarwood faded away. After the old man placed the last white piece, he ruffled the chessboard with his wide sleeves and asked, "Are you really still alive?"

"Your Excellency, this is what the spy said."

Hearing this, the old man gave a bitter smile, sighed, and shook his head slightly, saying, "It turns out that he is lucky."

The attendant did not dare to answer.

The old man raised his head slightly, as if recalling something. After a while, he sighed heavily: "Since she should have died seventeen years ago, she shouldn't appear now. Now... everything is fine."

The attendant immediately understood what he meant: "Then send the message back immediately."

The old man nodded somewhat disappointedly, and then said: "Go and call Zixuan to come to see me. It's time to test his knowledge."
