Shengjing Noble

Chapter 242 Life and Death

So this time, Su Lanyin would never believe him no matter what.

Fu Wuyang narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively: "My lady, I have never met you before, why do you have such great hostility towards me?"

"I don't want to waste my time talking to a scum like you, let go or I'll burn it!"

"Don't!"

Fu Wuyang hurriedly stopped him, and a flash of pity flashed in his eyes as he looked at the map, but he finally chose to let go.

Su Lanyin did not rush to roll up the map, but stared at him vigilantly, still holding the tinder in her other hand.

"Don't come over here, don't get close to me, or I'll burn it!"

"I will not approach you, but you must not burn it. This map concerns the life and death of the people of Qiu County, and there must be no mistakes!"

Fu Wuyang had a serious face and seemed to be concerned about the people.

Unfortunately, Su Lanyin knew his true face.

Under the veil, the corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking tone: "Humph, don't talk to me so pompously, I know best what kind of person you are!"

Fu Wuyang was really confused now. He looked puzzled and puzzled.

When has the prince ever offended a woman like this? Why does she have such strong hostility?

"You... who are you? Have I ever had any grudge against you?"

Su Lanyin rolled her eyes at him: "Think about it slowly by yourself, bye!"

Having said that, she jumped up and disappeared into the night in an instant, but she walked so fast that she accidentally dropped a silk handkerchief.

Fu Wuyang took a few steps forward, bent down and picked it up, only to see a small word "Su" embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief.

"Su?"

Fu Wuyang frowned and tried hard to find the memory of the woman named Su in his mind, but he couldn't think of it.

"I have never provoked a woman named Su. Where did she come from?"

He couldn't figure it out, but the matter had to be investigated to the end. The map was of vital importance and must not fall into the hands of others.

Thinking of this, he immediately set off to return to his residence.

The attendant guard Xiao Jin had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw King Xiaoyao coming back, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"My Lord, you are finally back."

Fu Wuyang raised his hand and threw a silk handkerchief to him, then strode towards the main room with a gloomy face.

Xiao Jin was puzzled. He held the handkerchief and looked at it again and again, but found nothing unusual.

So he quickly followed up and asked: "Your Highness, didn't you say you were going to get a map? How come you brought back a handkerchief? And there seems to be nothing on it? Do you need to soak it in special potion..."

As he was speaking, Fu Wuyang had already walked into the room. He stopped in front of the table and slapped it angrily.

With a loud "bang", cracks appeared on the hard mahogany, which scared Xiao Jin so much that he shut up and looked at him while swallowing his saliva.

After a moment of silence, the room became eerily quiet.

"Your Highness..." Xiao Jin asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"

Fu Wuyang turned around, the anger in his eyes almost uncontrollable: "Go check if there is a woman with the surname Su in the city!"

"Ah? Looking for a woman at this time... No, it's not appropriate... Ouch!"

Xiao Jin was kicked before he could finish his words. He fell to the ground and looked at him with a wronged look on his face.

"Your Majesty..."

"What the hell is going on in your head, you bastard? The map was taken away by this woman!"

"What? A woman? She snatched things from you? And she took them away?" Xiao Jin jumped three feet high in surprise and jumped directly from the ground.

He couldn't believe that the great King Xiaoyao couldn't even snatch a woman?

"This woman is extremely abominable. If it weren't for the map, I would have killed her!"

Xiao Jin's eyes were full of curiosity: "Master, tell me, how did she take it away?"

"Of course he used despicable means!"

"How?"

Fu Wuyang glanced at him with a sidelong glance, his eyes were deep and full of hostility: "People who know too much never have a good ending!"

"Uh……"

Xiao Jin's face changed and he quickly shut up.

His ears were finally quiet, and Fu Wuyang sat down and took out a stack of things from a box beside him.

He opened a thick piece of paper and on it was the list of abducted people that Su Lanyin had copied earlier, as well as the transaction records and detailed evidence of Fu Mingheng's private human trafficking.

Hatred flashed in Fu Wuyang's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Originally, it would have been enough to get those things as evidence. Even if my brother wanted to protect Fu Mingheng, it would be useless. But something went wrong because of a woman!"

Xiao Jin said quickly: "The prince has been looking for evidence of the prince's crimes for years, but they are all unimportant. Only the embezzlement of disaster relief funds is enough to shake his position as the prince!"

"That's right! He extorts money from the people and even secretly traffics people. Ultimately, these are things that harm the people. When my brother finds out, he will at most put him under house arrest. With the protection of my sister-in-law and her relatives, it won't be long before Fu Mingheng makes a comeback."

"But if we can get evidence that he embezzled disaster relief funds from the imperial court, it will definitely anger my brother. Even if he loves his son, he will feel hatred and disappointment."

"By then, even if the emperor's sister-in-law and her relatives come forward to protect him, I'm afraid the position of the crown prince will be abolished. I will never allow such a despicable and shameless villain to become the crown prince of the prosperous dynasty and control the fate of the people in the future!"

Xiao Jin frowned, looking worried: "If we fail to trip up the prince this time, if he is given a chance to make a comeback in the future, he will definitely do everything he can to deal with the prince. You have been away from the court for so long and have no real power. Once you break up with him, I am afraid you will be in a difficult situation."

"So you have to find this woman as soon as possible. I will never allow the map to fall into Fu Mingheng's hands!"

"But where are these disaster relief funds hidden? Doesn't Your Highness know?"

"The reason why the previous magistrate of Qiu County died was because he refused to hand over the disaster relief funds. He secretly hid them and left behind a treasure map. I guess the prince didn't find it, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed Wang Tao and others to continue to stay in Qiu County."

Xiao Jin nodded: "Yes, if the treasure map is found, I am afraid that the people of the entire city will be abandoned and left to fend for themselves."

"By the way, is there any trace of the jade ring that I asked you to find?"

"Yuhuan's whereabouts are still unknown, but I heard that many people are also looking for her."

Fu Wuyang frowned, looking solemn.

"That jade ring is the military talisman left by my father. It can command the Moon Shadow Divine Soldiers hidden in the dark. Before he died, he gave the jade ring to me and said that if a tyrant came to power in the future, he could awaken the divine soldiers to revive the government!"

Having said that, he sighed and took out the jade ring that was broken into half from his arms.

"If Fu Mingheng is allowed to ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely restart the magic weapon. But now the other half of the jade ring has been stolen by that bitch. There has been no news for so many years. Damn it!"

"Yes, that wet nurse also stole the little princess away! I don't know how much suffering the little princess has endured over the years, and whether she is still alive..." Xiao Jin said, with pity in his eyes.

Fu Wuyang sighed deeply, his eyes full of guilt.
