Long Yi continued

The connection between this Mongolian prince and Huang Ziwei was indeed brokered by Du Dahai, a barbarian. Huang Ziwei met Du Dahai when he took her to dinner.

Moreover, Du Dahai is playing both sides. The last time you returned from the battle with the barbarians, it was Du Dahai who tipped off the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince gave Du Dahai two thousand dan of grain in exchange for the information. Du Dahai wanted to eliminate you through the Crown Prince. However, Du Dahai was afraid the Crown Prince wouldn't be able to do it, so he contacted the barbarian prince, Xiyue. Prince Xiyue then sent barbarian assassins, along with the Crown Prince's assassins, to hunt you down.

Our people also discovered that the Second Prince, Long Linye, has been secretly collaborating with the four barbarian tribes of Xiyue, Dongyue, Nanyue, and Haoyue in exchange for cattle, horses, and sheep. This cooperation has been going on for some time.

Long Linxiao

He also participated in the assassination.

Long Yi hurriedly replied, "Master, we didn't find any evidence that the Second Prince was involved in the last assassination attempt." The Second Prince would trade grain with the four barbarian tribes for horses, cattle, sheep, and sometimes salt.

Long Linxiao tapped the table lightly, lost in thought.

Speaking of our Second Prince, Long Linxiaoye, his presence is extremely low. His relationships with his brothers are neither close nor distant, just a casual nod of friendship. His mother's family is the daughter of a minor official, a seventh-rank county magistrate. Because of his mother's low status, Long Linye knew from childhood that living in the uterus of any of the four concubines would be difficult for his mother. Fortunately, the Empress arranged for his mother to stay in the palace of the more docile Noble Consort Shu. Now, his mother is also Consort Hui. However, Noble Consort Fang still occasionally bothers his mother.

Long Linye had always dreamed of earning a lot of money since he was little. When he grew up and had his fiefdom, he would live a quiet life with his mother for a few years. Besides, being a leisurely prince, second only to the emperor, above everyone else, with money and power, what could he do? Why fight to the point of bloodshed?

Back to the point, Long Linxiao ordered, "Long Yi, send someone to bring the patriarch's daughter-in-law and our Prime Minister's granddaughter to the Shadow Pavilion branch. Separate them and interrogate them to see what else they have done and who they have been associated with."

Long Yi clasped his fists, bowed, and said, "Master." He then left the room.

Siyu looked at Long Linxiao and asked, "It's okay for you to capture the clan leader's daughter-in-law. You captured the prime minister's granddaughter. Aren't you afraid that the prime minister will cause trouble for you?"

Long Linxiao said that if he didn't arrest his granddaughter, he would always be looking for trouble. What's more, he has set his sights on you, little girl. How can I let them go so easily? Besides, he is not afraid of offending me, so why should I be afraid of him causing trouble? Don't worry! And don't worry, little girl, Brother Xiao will definitely seek justice for you. Siyu smiled, her eyes full of tenderness.

Long Linxiao reached out his hand and gently held Siyu in his arms, treating her like a treasure and handling her with great care.

Siyu struggled for a few times, and Long Linxiao patted Siyu's back gently, "Baby, let me hold you for a while, just for a while."

Siyu finally softened her heart after hearing the almost pleading tone. She stopped struggling and let him hold her.

Long Linxiao, Yu'er, you know what? I've wanted to do this for a long time, but I was always afraid of offending you, and I was also afraid that you would ignore me, so I didn't dare to go forward. But fortunately, everything is still in time, and you finally agreed to me. I'm really happy, very happy, very happy.

After hearing what Long Linxiao said, Siyu stopped worrying about it. She hugged Long Linxiao for a while and then let him go.

Long Linxiao continued, "The Prime Minister has always had great ambitions. He may have been a good official, perhaps even an honest one, dedicated to doing good for the people. But as his position grew, his ambitions gradually grew and expanded, and he felt that being Prime Minister could no longer satisfy all his desires and needs."

That's why he and Concubine Fang have been trying to get the emperor to appoint the eldest prince as crown prince and replace him. Only the foolish eldest prince can't see this, completely believing his grandfather will support him as emperor. With such a brainless, playful, and mischievous person, it would be a shame for him not to be played to death. It's truly a disgrace to our Long family.

Siyu wondered, what good was there in being an emperor? He had to get up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs, and spend his days toiling away on thankless tasks. It was just too much to wrap his head around. Had his lust for power completely dominated him, leaving him completely bewildered? It was beyond his comprehension.

Long Linxiao tapped Siyu's nose. "Little girl, what are you thinking about?" Siyu realized she was distracted, scratched her head, and laughed. "Nothing, nothing."

Back in the Zuixian Tower in the county town, Fang Miaoru was still resting when someone suddenly covered her mouth, pressed her acupoints, and picked her up and took her away.

Fang Miaoru opened her eyes wide in horror. Who was so bold as to arrest someone in broad daylight? But no one told her that she had been taken into a dark cellar.

At first, he was still yelling and threatening others with his grandfather, the Prime Minister, and his aunt, the Imperial Concubine, but no one responded to him. No matter how brave she was or how many thoughts she had, she was just a 13-year-old girl. At this moment, she was so scared that she started to cry.

She kept begging for mercy, but no one responded to her.

Ying Mei wanted to help her break down her psychological defenses.

Half an hour later, many people came to the basement. Fang Miaoru could not see anyone because her eyes were blindfolded and her senses were magnified.

Fang Miaoru, hey, hey, hey good men, I have a lot of silver, please let me go! Hey, hey, hey, big brother, please, let me go! I don’t know how this little girl offended you good men, I will give you silver. She begged and said again and again, but still no one responded... Fang Miaoru saw that begging for mercy for so long was useless, and she was also very angry. From childhood to adulthood, no one had dared to treat her like this. She shouted loudly, hey, you bastards, let me go, let me go, do you know who my grandfather is? My grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty, do you know who my aunt is? My aunt is the imperial concubine, if you don’t let me go. I will make my uncle kill all nine generations of your clan, pull out your tendons, peel off your skin, and then beat you to death with sticks.

Fang Miaoru thought, I clearly heard footsteps? Why is no one paying attention to me? No one responded to me.

After a while, someone finally spoke.

But they all said to themselves, well, this girl is good-looking, with fair skin and tender flesh, it must be nice to have her accompany us guys for a night.

Another person said, "Well, it can be sold for a lot of money. Well, if Zui Hong Lou is sold, she will definitely be the top seller."

Another voice said, let us brothers play first!

Another old voice said, "This girl is absolutely beautiful when she lights a sky lantern." The old voice continued, "Little girl, you definitely don't know what lighting a sky lantern means, do you? Let me tell you! That's it! I'll shave your head, then make a small hole on the top of your head and pour mercury in little by little. Or, hehehe. I'll also peel your skin off bit by bit and make a war drum. It'll definitely be loud and boost morale."

Fang Miaoru listened to these people's obscenities, comments, bargaining, and the horrific scene of skinning and pulling out tendons. Zhong couldn't help it. His psychological defenses completely collapsed. He cried and begged for mercy, "Please let me go! What do you want to ask? I'll tell you everything, please let me go!"
