As the words fell, Jiang Wansang grabbed Ye Xianglang's chin and squeezed it hard, forcing him to open his mouth.

The action looked like it was about to feed something.

Everyone thought so and wondered if she was going to be poisoned.

But after Jiang Wansang pinched Ye Xianglang's mouth open, she did not take the next step.

She just smiled at Yaxianglang, a strange light in her calm eyes that made people tremble.

Just when everyone was wondering what she was going to do, Yaxianglang's expression suddenly changed.

"Ah... ah—"

Yaxianglang suddenly howled in pain.

The sudden change scared everyone. Lin Tong immediately stepped forward to pull Jiang Wansang over and be alert to Ye Xianglang's actions.

But Ye Xianglang did not attack Jiang Wansang. Instead, he struggled violently on the chair with a painful look on his face. However, because his hands and feet were tied, he could not make any big movements.

The pain in his body did not ease despite his struggle. Ye Xianglang raised his head and glared at Jiang Wansang fiercely, "You...you poisoned me!"

Everyone looked at Jiang Wansang, obviously having the same idea.

Jiang Wansang remained calm and simply shrugged when she heard the accusation. "Speak with evidence. Which eye did you see me poison you? Or you could call a doctor to see if you've been poisoned?"

She doesn't know any medical skills, and carrying poison with her could hurt herself if she's not careful, so of course she wouldn't do that.

The laws of the South Su Kingdom do not allow confessions to be forced, and poisoning is even more unacceptable, so she certainly wouldn't be so stupid.

So, she pumped some "wind" into Yokoro's body.

Being able to become the leading boss among the many people with special abilities in the end times, Jiang Wansang's control over the wind has long surpassed the realm of perfection.

Although her supernatural powers have not fully recovered yet, it is not impossible for her to spend a little effort to send wind into Yaxianglang's body and crush his internal organs bit by bit.

Yaxianglang did feel pain in his body, as if a bug had crawled into it and was gnawing at his internal organs bit by bit.

He was very sure that he was poisoned, but looking at Jiang Wansang's expression, he became hesitant.

Jiang Wansang didn't miss his hesitation and continued, "If the doctor finds out you're not poisoned, then you're wantonly slandering the daughter of the Prime Minister. Then the Dali Temple will have legitimate reason to arrest you."

"You are a helpless commoner. We have plenty of reasons to make sure you never leave this Dali Temple dungeon."

She said these words calmly, but every word was threatening and true.

In this world where imperial power is supreme, it is easy for those in high positions to punish ordinary people without any reason.

But Zhao Zhizhi inherited her father's integrity and insisted on fairness and evidence when handling cases. Ye Xianglang's case was related to Jiang Zihan, the girl of destiny, and Jiang Wansang could not just let it go.

That's why they spent so much time and energy on Yakaro.

After hearing Jiang Wansang's words and the pain in his body, Ye Xianglang was indeed distracted.

"I...I'm in so much pain, I'm being wronged, ah - help... help -"

Listening to his heart-wrenching screams, Jiang Wansang turned around and asked Lin Tong to move the stool next to her over, and then sat leisurely in front of Ye Xianglang.

"You know clearly whether you have been wronged or not, and you should also understand what I want to know. It's up to you whether you want to confess or not." Jiang Wansang acted as if she was saying "make your own choice", and those who didn't know her might think she was such a magnanimous person.

But in Yokoro's eyes, she is just an evil ghost!

What on earth did she do to him...

Yaxianglang thought that since they had held him for such a long time without torturing him, they must not dare to do anything to him, so he thought he would just endure it.

But his body was in so much pain that he wished he could die on the spot!

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything!"

Ye Xianglang finally couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy, but Jiang Wansang didn't rush to take back his supernatural powers.

Letting him off so easily, who knows whether what he said is true or false?

Naturally, people from the Dali Temple would investigate the truth of Ye Xianglang's confession, while Zhao Zhizhi happily sent Jiang Wansang out personally.

She really didn't expect that Jiang Wansang had solved such a big problem in just a short while.

"Miss Jiang, how on earth did you do it?"

Jiang Wansang, of course, wouldn't tell her the truth. She smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, the missing women case has caused quite a stir in the Imperial City. Once those women are found, they will surely attract a lot of attention."

No matter in which world, when it comes to a woman's innocence, there will always be a lot of attention on them, whether it is with good intentions or bad intentions.

Zhao Zhizhi obviously understood this, and her excitement faded a lot. "I'll make arrangements for this. If they're willing, I'll pay for them to leave the Imperial City."

When something like this happens, the best thing to do is to leave and start a new life in a place where you don't know anyone.

But even so, it is impossible to completely eliminate all malicious intent.

Jiang Wansang noticed her worry and said with a smile, "Actually, I do have an idea."

Seeing Zhao Zhizhi looking up at him in surprise, Jiang Wansang didn't keep it a secret. "If you want to divert everyone's attention from the women who were found, then use another more attractive thing to divert their attention."

Her smile suddenly deepened. "Right now, everyone in the Imperial City is privately discussing what kind of reward the Imperial Master will ask for from Miss Jiang if she catches the criminal. If word suddenly spreads that the real criminal has been apprehended and the previous one was just a hired imposter, how many people will still care about those missing women?"

Zhao Zhizhi's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of this!"

She excitedly grabbed Jiang Wansang's hand and said, "Miss Jiang is truly intelligent. I'll make arrangements right away!"

Of course, she could see that Miss Jiang's method was somewhat aimed at Jiang Zihan, but Jiang Zihan selfishly treated the lives of so many missing women as a joke, so he should bear the consequences of the backlash!

Just as Zhao Zhizhi was about to leave, Jiang Wansang grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't be impatient. If you want public opinion to achieve the best effect, you have to find the right time."

Zhao Zhizhi didn't understand what she meant by "timing", but she didn't have to wait long before the sudden rumors outside gave her the answer.
