Dayong Nu sentenced to death

As soon as Zhen Yu's hand touched the wine bottle, he hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and made a gesture of invitation.

Then he poured the wine on his own.

"Brother Zhen knew that something bad would happen in Youzhou, so he rushed to save me?"

Surao stared at him.

Zhen Yu said: "Even so, I wasn't sure at the time."

"Do you know the person behind the scenes of the gods?"

After Su Rao asked, Zhen Yu said with a smile: "Although Haiyan Qinghe is entrusted to sell the fairy powder, you know the rules. We never inquire about the identity of the customer."

"Ordinary customers will not guess that something is going to happen from the subtle changes in Youzhou. This shows that Brother Zhen has been paying attention to this matter. Only the slightest disturbance can't be hidden from your eyes and ears."

Surao chuckled lightly and said as if unintentionally: "The old man who took me away had a nickname in the world, called Ghost Doctor. When he tried the medicine on me, the prescription he followed came from a book. .”

Meeting Zhen Yu's suddenly focused eyes, she spoke softly: "The Poison King Sutra."

Zhen Yu put the wine bottle on the table with a stern look on his face.

"It's fate. Brother Zhen told me that the "Poison King's Sutra" might contain the information I wanted, and I met him in Youzhou. The most coincidental thing is that everything is related to Shenxian Powder."

If she keeps searching after the "Poison King Sutra", she will eventually find out that the gods have dispersed.

This was the reason why Zhen Yu told her the news.

Zhen Yu and the person behind him knew each other, and they seemed to have a close relationship on the surface, but in fact they were wary of each other. This can be seen from Zhen Yu's actions.

Surao stared at Zhen Yu, waiting for an answer from him.

After a long time, Zhen Yu picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. She held the edge of the bowl with her hands and didn't know where her eyes fell.

"What else do you know?"

"I knew that Brother Zhen and I had already met before we were in the restaurant."

After saying the words, Zhen Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Did the young swordsman next to you tell you?"

"Yes."

Su Rao said: "Zhu Yan said that the sword move used by the man who saved him looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. He came to me two days ago and said he remembered it."

"When we were in the southern border, there were people who robbed people late at night and came for Han Sheng."

"You are the leader."

Zhen Yu pursed her lips for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, at that time... I was entrusted by others and it was a matter of loyalty."

Su Rao smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhen and I didn't know each other at that time. If you were doing business, you have nothing to apologize to me for."

At that time, she tried her best to risk her life, but she didn't hold back.

"I don't want to hide it from you. Meeting and drinking with you... is indeed unexpected."

"Then why did you change your mind later?"

Su Rao believed what he said, but since "The Book of Poison King", Zhen Yu had other thoughts at the wine table.

She asked tentatively: "Are you trying to save someone?"

Zhen Yu looked at her in surprise, and Su Rao smiled, "Brother Zhen is waiting for me here. Isn't it because he knows that I will guess something right and wants to confess?"

"Yes."

Zhen Yu smiled bitterly, "I just didn't expect that you would guess so many things correctly."

"For more than half a year, various clues and people were entangled. I didn't think much about it until I sat here."

In fact, the two groups of people's ways of doing things have always been very different.

It's just that they were misled by certain words.Surao asked straight to the point: "The rebel leaders who caused rebellion in Jizhou City, those who hunted down the prince, those who suffered from the epidemic in Huacheng, and those who assassinated the Dayan envoy outside Pingdu Pass, are all your people?"

"I didn't know about these things beforehand. But you are right. He is my nominal subordinate."

Since Zhen Yu decided to take this path, there was no need to hide it and he answered truthfully.

"Due to the private mining case, rockery bandits, Yunzhou Mu Qixiang's last words 'an old friend has returned' before his death, plus the Shenxian Powder, Poison King Sutra, and the things just mentioned, I thought it was the same group of people. of."

Surao's expression was indifferent, and her words were slow and slow, as if she was talking about something insignificant, "But then I thought about it carefully, this is not right. The things I said before were all intended to provoke conflicts between all parties, regardless of the consequences. They want to destroy the stability of the country. And the methods used are simpler and more bloody, with a Jianghu style."

"And the ones behind, whether it's Shenxian San, Qi Xiang, or Qin Wei who have been hiding for a long time, are all inseparable from the court, and their plans are obviously different."

"The most important evidence that led to my misjudgment was the Poison King's Sutra, which recorded the poisons of the Hwaseong epidemic and Shenxian powder, as well as Gu Zuifang's records. These are things from the previous dynasty."

"Through various coincidences, I concluded that the other party is an old man from the previous dynasty."

"Actually, does the person holding the relics of the previous dynasty have to be from the previous dynasty? Not necessarily."

"There are two parties involved from beginning to end."

"One side is controlled by senior officials from the DPRK and the Central Government behind the scenes, including the Shanglin County private mining case, Shenxian Powder, the twins, and the most ferocious royal blood case in Shengjing right now."

"On the other side, you, Brother Zhen, or Haiyan Qinghe are leading the charge, causing chaos in Jizhou, stirring up dissension, and intercepting and killing people outside the customs."

"The opportunity that forced you to join forces with him...should be the person who was arrested outside the customs and sent to Yanjing."

Zhen Yu couldn't help stroking her palms, "She is indeed a female official who is famous for her punishment. I admire her."

"Then you might as well guess again why we did that."

Surao looked at him and let out a deep breath, "Because you are the old ministers of the former dynasty."

Hearing this, Zhen Yu's face stiffened slightly, and then he exhaled with relief, "For so many years, I have been hiding my identity and changing my name. I was always afraid of being recognized. But now I feel that it is not a bad thing."

He calmed down his expression and bowed solemnly, "Let's get acquainted again. I am Jing Yu, a descendant of the former royal family."

"Brother Zhen, don't worry about me."

Su Rao stared at him deeply, half-smiling: "Aren't you afraid that I will report to the palace? You must know that the Li family has never given up searching for the descendants of the previous dynasty for hundreds of years. If this credit is reported, maybe I will be the current Prime Minister. Everyone hopes to give it a try.”

Zhen Yu could not hear the amusement in her words, shook his head and said with a smile: "You can't."

She has no rules, no dignity, no bloodline in her heart... She doesn't even have any loyalty or awe.

She never firmly supports anyone, nor does she firmly hate anyone.

Do whatever you want.

This is what he admires the most.

"It's impossible to say..."

Surao's face suddenly faded, and her smile turned cold, "Brother Zhen, even if I believe what happened during the epidemic and that the innocent people who died tragically in Jizhou were not your intention, the mountains of corpses and thousands of lives are lost every day. Every debt must be recorded on Haiyan Qinghe's head."

"I know."

Zhen Yu looked back at her with a solemn expression, "A blood debt must be paid with blood. When I finish what I want to do, I will definitely give you and the world an explanation."

"I believe you, but whether others believe it or not, I can't guarantee."

The wine on the table today, to be honest, was what Zhen Yu wanted to drink with Yan Yun. He was waiting here with some agenda, and so was she.

Both parties are tacitly aware.

Zhen Yu said: "He will believe it."

"Are you so sure?"

"The imperial court is in danger. At this time, he needs an ally. I will solve Haiyan Qinghe's troubles and prove it to him."
