The Prime Minister's delicate wife can control her husband

Chapter 31

Jiao Niang suddenly remembered what Yan Lang told her about Zhang Wuji's family being wiped out, "Could it be that Da Wu's men have come?" Thinking of this, Jiao Niang immediately went to the side room to look for her brother.

Seeing that Zhang Wuji was safe and sound, Jiao Niang murmured, "It seems that someone really came to the bridal chamber last night."

Jiao Niang held the jade pendant and headed towards Zuiyan Tower. Jing Yang told Yan Sheng about Jiao Niang's whereabouts from a high place. "Come to find me? Jing Yang, can you analyze what she means?" Yan Lang asked puzzledly.

"They should be worried about the safety of the host."

Hearing Jing Yang's answer, Yan Lang was secretly delighted and straightened his clothes: "Let's go pick up my new bride."

Jiao Niang met Yan Sheng on the road before she arrived at the restaurant. "Where is he?" Jiao Niang asked.

"Who?" Yan Sheng pretended not to know.

"The one who committed the crime yesterday?" Then he threw the jade pendant in his hand to Yan Lang, "I found it at the door. I hope it can help you find out the identity of that person."

After receiving the jade pendant, Yan Lang frowned, and Jiao Niang immediately asked, "Do you know him?"

"I know. These are things from the palace. Please go in first, my lady."

Back in the house, Yan Lang handed the jade pendant to Jing Yang, who denied it again and again: "Your Highness, isn't he dead?"

Five years ago, Great Zhou risked its national destiny in a war with Great Wu. At that time, the court sent the Grand Prince to supervise the war. Jing Yang's responsibility at that time was to protect the Grand Prince. Unexpectedly, the Grand Prince died in the battle. Then Jing Yang was impeached by the Prime Minister and sentenced to death by slicing. If the Prime Minister had not replaced the Prime Minister, there would probably be no Jing Yang in the world.

Yan Lang put his hand on Jingyang's shoulder: "Ask that person first! Where did he get these items from?"

"Yes, the host!"

Jiao Niang then noticed the blue jade order on Jingyang's waist, "Could it be that Yan Sheng's status is higher than the blue jade order? What on earth is Yan Sheng doing in Zuiyan Tower? His status is so mysterious."

The three of them came to the secret room under Zuiyan Tower. The style of the secret room was completely different from the exterior decoration of Zuiyan Tower.

It was dark, damp, and the fishy smell hit him in the face. Yan Lang threw out a handkerchief and said, "It will feel better if you cover it. If it doesn't work, go upstairs."

"Yuzhu, help wake him up!" Yan Lang ordered.

Yuzhu picked up the red-hot iron and pressed it against the man's chest, and the man immediately came to his senses.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Yan Lang asked the other person who brought it back.

"Stealed?"

"Yuzhu!" Yan Lang instructed him to continue the torture.

"I'll give you another chance and tell me if I can save his life." Yan Lang asked finally.

When Jiao Niang saw Yan Sheng's look, she suddenly felt a chill on her back. She thought Yan Lang was a bit scheming and sinister, but she didn't expect him to be so cruel and ruthless.

The iron branding made a sizzling sound as it burned the man. Finally, the man opposite him couldn't stand it anymore and said in a breakdown, "It was a mysterious person who asked us two brothers to go to Yan's house to kill someone. The reward he gave was this jade pendant. As for the rest, my brother and I know nothing about it."

"who?"

"I couldn't see his face clearly. I only knew that he spoke with a Beijing accent. I don't know anything else."

Yan Lang asked Yuzhu to remove the iron brand and threw out the ointment from his sleeve, "Apply it on him."

After making the arrangements, they went upstairs. Yan Lang and Jing Yang looked at each other and said, "Interesting! There are still people in the court who want to test the strength of our Xingwen County."

Jiao Niang stood beside her without saying a word. When Yan Lang was about to get closer to her, Jiao Niang pushed Yan Lang away with a palm, fear in her eyes.

"Am I scary?" Yan Lang asked as he got closer to her.

Then the person outside the door came in. Jiao Niang looked at that person with her eyes wider than anyone else's, "You...you..."

"Master, I have completed my mission." The man knelt on one knee and said respectfully to Yan Lang.

Yan Lang waved his hand and let him go, "What do you mean? Are you making a fuss?" He looked at Jiao Niang again.

"Didn't you brand him? Why is he still so respectful to you?"

"Is it possible that he is the one for me? If you want to know, come and have a drink with me." Yan Lang handed over a glass of sake and said with a smug smile.

"I know! The dungeon was dark and the man didn't see his face clearly and thought it was his brother, so he confessed everything."

"My wife is quite smart. She can understand the reason at a glance." Yan Lang praised proudly.

"What about his brother?" Jiao Niang asked as she took his wine glass.

"killed!"

Hearing Yan Lang's cold words, Jiao Niang's hands trembled and she immediately looked at him in fear.

"If we don't kill him, we won't get what we want."

After Yan Lang finished explaining, he went back to the dark room, took out a pill from his waist and stuffed it into the man's mouth. "The pill I gave you is poison. If you don't take the antidote in a month, you will die of the poison. I want all the information about the man in the capital."

Before dawn, Yan Lang had him sent to the capital...

"Sir, the task you assigned has been completed." The man said through multiple layers of gauze.

“Didn’t he notice anything unusual?” the adult on the other side asked back.

"Nothing unusual, but if I take one of his secret medicines without an antidote, I'm afraid I'll die from the poison."

"Okay, got it!"

The master knocked on the table several times, and the person next to him took out a few bottles of pills, "The antidote is in here, you know which secret medicine you took, and today's incident is as if you and I have never seen it. How long we can stay in this position depends on Chen Yanjun."

After the man left, the master asked the person behind the screen, "Teacher, why don't you just call Chen Yanjun back to the capital to discuss this matter?"

"The court is no longer ours. I'm afraid that he will come to the capital and never return like General Xiao. It's better to let that kid investigate these things secretly."

"But...what if our junior fellow finds out that we deceived him?" the adult asked.

"Xiao Jin, don't be so cautious every time you do something. This is the only way we can trip up Yang Guofu and take back the three rivers and four counties we lost five years ago."

When the two were chatting enthusiastically, there was a knock on the door. Lord Jin asked through the door: "Who is it?"

"I, open the door quickly." The gorgeously dressed woman outside the door replied softly.

The door slowly opened, and Lord Jin saw a group of officers and soldiers standing behind Song Fengren, "Greetings to Princess Danyang!" Then he whispered, "Teacher has been waiting inside for a long time, come in quickly."

Princess Danyang shouted to the leading officers and soldiers: "Be alert!"

"Yes!" the man answered with great confidence, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be Yuanroku.

Princess Danyang had just stepped into the room when she said to Master Jin, "Brother, have you made all the arrangements?"

"Princess, the news has been passed on to Lord Chen Yan." Lord Jin replied cautiously.

"Brother, you can just call me Song Fengren now." The Danyang monarch said happily.

"Song...sewing...people?"

Princess Danyang left him alone to talk to herself, and went to the main house to bow to the old man in the courtyard and chatted with him: "Teacher, how long do you plan to keep our identities a secret from me?"
