After Master Zheng left, the young man picked up the teacup and savored it carefully, and then not long after, he also got up and left.

Return to Yanlou.

Lu Yao, who was sleeping soundly because of the knockout drug, was suddenly poured all over by a bucket of cold water.

In fact, Wei Wu didn't want to be so crude, but he didn't know what kind of drug Lu Yao had been drugged with.

I have tried licorice and ginger water, but they didn't work at all. I can only try this method.

But I have to say that the rough method does have a good effect.

After a bucket of cold water was poured over him, the unconscious Lu Yao shuddered suddenly and then woke up instantly.

At first, Lu Yao was a little flustered, and looked at Wei Wu with complicated eyes, obviously he had misunderstood something.

It was not until he saw the corpses of the yamen runners around him that he showed a look of sudden realization.

"Sir, could you tell me what happened to me just now?"

Wei Wu didn't explain too much, but just pointed at the messy dishes on the table.

"Here! Take another bite and you'll know."

Hearing Wei Wu say this, Lu Yao immediately let out a long sigh.

“It’s hard to guard against it!”

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me everything you know about the Kong family."

Seeing that Wei Wu's tone was not very good, Lu Yao did not dare to hesitate and told him everything he knew.

Wei Wu did not interrupt the whole time, but just compared the information he knew with his own in his mind.

Facts have proved that the previous guesses made by him and Zhu Biao were basically correct.

Only some of the details were unknown, but now Lu Yao has completed them.

For example, when Lu Yi went on a long journey, he did have contact with the Kong family, and the tunnel in their home was the contact point.

The series of things he did afterwards, in addition to his own ambition, were also thanks to the help and advice from the Kong family.

Lu Yi himself didn't know why the Kong family wanted to find the Lu family, so he naturally didn't tell Lu Yao.

However, on this issue, Wei Wu still firmly believed in his guess, which was because of Crown Princess Lu.

The Kong family wanted to promote an emperor who would not target them for their own benefit.

In addition, Lu Yi does have some connection with the White Lotus Sect.

However, it was not about supporting the White Lotus Rebellion. It was simply a supply and demand relationship, and for the purpose of making money. There was no deep entanglement.

These were all told to Lu Yao by Lu Yi himself, so that he could understand these things and be prepared in the future.

Actually, to be honest, Lu Yao didn't know much, and Wei Wu had guessed most of it.

Lu Yao's existence is more about confirming Wei Wu's guess and turning it into fact.

The next step is to get the 500,000 silver coins that Lu Yao promised.

Then find out who sent those yamen runners and whether you can find clues to track down the people behind them.

If you can find any clues, take the money first, then kill Lu Yao, and finally continue to follow the clues.

Find the bastard behind this and send him to Lan Yu to ride the wooden donkey!

If no clues are found, then take the money and kill Lu Yao first, then leave Yangzhou and continue to Rencheng.

That’s right, no matter what, Lu Yao is bound to die, because there is no point in keeping him alive.

His greatest value is to confirm what the Kong family has done.

However, just one witness could not bring down the Kong family, and no scholars in the world would believe what Lu Yao said.

Wei Wu’s plan was the simplest and most direct. There was no need to prove anything, just to bury it completely.

However, just as Wei Wu was about to ask for money, an anxious cry of injustice came from outside.

"My Lord, please understand my humble servant, I am wronged!!!"

Although he had already guessed who the visitor was, Wei Wu still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As expected of a man who could become the prefect of Yangzhou, he heard the man's voice before seeing him and started shouting about his injustice from afar.
