Chapter 458 Tearing off the mask

His eyes were full of scarlet. He couldn't stand such deception at all. I thought he was wise in his life and built his own kingdom with his own hands. He used to be complacent about being able to cooperate with Xiao Xuanrui. Now, this Shen Congshan's betrayal sent him to hell in an instant, completely shattering all his hopes and livelihood. How could Long Hao endure such a failure? "Bastard, I'm going to kill you..." He struggled to stand up. , it is a pity that his body was severely corroded by the two poisons. Now he is like fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered by Shen Congshan. Shen Congshan watched Long Hao's death struggle with interest. Hao's collar whispered in his ear: "Long Hao, you probably don't know that I used your power to secretly order the bandits to humiliate Qin Ming's wife and children."

"What is my purpose? Of course, I want to quickly dismantle your copycat, so as to contribute to Ari. You have been our stepping stone from beginning to end... Now, you should be able to rest in peace, right?"

Long Hao's eyes widened and he stared at Shen Congshan. How could he close his eyes in peace? Not only was he betrayed by Qin Ming, he was also plotted by his partners. Xiao Xuanrui, Shen Congshan...he said a word He couldn't even speak. The blood in his mouth kept pouring out. It hurt, it hurt! He couldn't help but stooped. Shen Congshan's eyes flashed with disgust. He pushed lightly, and Long Hao's body moved toward him. He rushed away from behind. Long Hao was lying on his back, with black blood slowly flowing out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and two ears... Qin Ming looked at the shocking reversal in front of him in disbelief. Shen Congshan Aren't he and Long Hao collaborators? Why did he poison Long Hao and why did he kill Long Hao? Long Hao stared with eyes wide open and died completely. It was at this time that Yun Luan, with black eyes, Yi and others rushed into the dark room. After achieving their goal, Long Hao died tragically after bleeding from his seven orifices. With shock in her eyes, she raised her eyes and looked at Shen Congshan: "You...who are you?"

Shen Congshan immediately changed his smile and raised his lips at Yun Luan. "Is this the Lord of Taiping County? I'm here to assist the County Lord in capturing the bandits... Now, Long Hao has been poisoned by me. As for this Qin Ming, It’s time to go to hell and stay with his good brother.”

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed. Qin Ming's abdomen felt a burst of pain... Black Wing looked at it and quickly stepped forward and held Qin Ming's arm. "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Ming grabbed Hei Yi's arm tightly and looked up at Yun Luan with great effort: "County... County Lord, I am... also poisoned. Shen Congshan is... the son of the ghost doctor Shen Huanzhi. "He is Xiao Xuanrui's man..." "When I...I die, please bury me and Ling'er together. I want to live and die in the same quilt with her..." Qin Ming finished this sentence , he spit out a mouthful of black blood and died. Black Wing touched his arm that was getting colder, and looked at Shen Congshan with a bit of anger in his eyes. "Are you Xiao Xuanrui's person?"

"Qin Ming made atonement for his sins. He could have been spared from death. Why did you kill him?"

Shen Congshan shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent smile: "Qin Ming has helped the tyrants and helped Long Hao do things over the years. He has done a lot of evil. We can't let him die just because he redeemed his sins, right? If he really does, he should be spared. If they took his life, how should the innocent people who were harmed by them rest in peace?"

"Little brother, you can have appropriate kindness, but you can't be too kind... Keeping Qin Ming around will be a disaster... Cutting the grass and root out is the best way to deal with it."

Yun Luan walked to Long Hao without saying a word. She stood there, condescendingly looking at Long Hao's tragic death with bleeding from all seven orifices. Then, she held the spear and aimed it at Shen Congshan's Adam's apple. She glared His eyes were fixed on Shen Congshan coldly: "I don't care who you are... you dare to kill someone under my nose, then you won't be able to hide today."

Shen Congshan raised his eyebrows, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and he stared at Yun Luan with a slight smile. "What? Is the county master trying to kill me?"

"I have made great achievements in suppressing bandits. Capturing the thief first captures the king. This is my first achievement... If you dare to kill the hero, aren't you afraid that the emperor will find out and blame you?"

"Besides, since I dare to do this, and I dare to stand in front of you, County Lord, I am sure that you can't kill me. County Lord, guess, your movements are faster, or mine..." Hei Yi's heart jumped suddenly. He quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Yun Luan. He looked at Shen Congshan with a wary look on his face. "What do you want to do?"

Shen Congshan straightened his sleeves very calmly, with a calm expression on his face. "I don't want to do anything... I just seek truth from facts. Today I am the one who has made meritorious deeds, and these two bandit leaders deserve to die... No matter who is allowed to do this." I am responsible for all judgments. If the county boss does not recognize my contribution and wants to kill me, then I can only resist stubbornly and win a chance for myself."

Yun Luan's eyes were filled with a bit of coldness. Without saying a word, she raised her hand and gave Shen Congshan a slap in the face. "Shen Congshan, don't think that I can't catch Long Hao after he's dead." The evidence of your crime. You and he were clearly the same person before... They deserve to die, and you don't deserve to live either."

According to Qin Ming's previous letters, she can be sure that the person who has cooperated with Long Hao over the years is this Shen Congshan. Shen Congshan and Long Hao are not current acquaintances. They started cooperating a year ago. All the items needed in the village were obtained from Shen Congshan. Behind Shen Congshan was Xiao Xuanrui. Yun Luan never expected that even if Xiao Xuanrui was demoted to Jinzhou, he would still dare to do it before her eyes. She was making trouble under the family. Shen Congshan's operation today, to kill Long Hao before she could tell him, was just to block Long Hao's crime and cut off all evidence of cooperation between Xiao Xuanrui and Long Hao. She dared to conclude that now this entire There was no longer any evidence of cooperation between Shen Congshan and Long Hao in the village. Shen Congshan was beaten to the side of his face, and the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly faded. There was a hint of coldness in his voice unconsciously. It means harsh. No one has ever dared to hit him in the face as long as he has grown up. This is the first time that Yun Luan has dared to humiliate him in this way. His eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, and he stared at Yun Luan. "Yun Luan, you Do you think I dare not kill you?"

Yun Luan sneered and stretched out her hand to strangle Shen Congshan's neck: "Do you think I dare not kill you? Shen Congshan, who on earth gave you such confidence to show off your power in front of me? I'm not even afraid of Xiao Xuanrui, but I'm afraid of you, a mere poisonous doctor?"

Shen Congshan was startled. He did not expect that Yun Luan would suddenly attack him. Her movements were so fast that he had no time to react, and Yun Luan pinched his weak spot. His face was dark, and he clenched his fists to warn: " You can't kill me... I have shown my face in front of the emperor. Ari was exiled to Jinzhou this time, and it was your majesty who secretly gave me a secret order to protect Ari all the way to Jinzhou."

"Arui is the emperor's most beloved son. Even if Arui makes a wrong step on his mission, he will not give up on Arui. Given time, Arui will definitely regain his former honor and return to Kyoto City. Yun Luan, Once you kill me, you will have violated the emperor's taboo..." Yun Luan interrupted him with a cold face: "What if I create an illusion that you died unexpectedly? The sky is high and the emperor is far away, do you think the emperor is still there? Can you come and check in person? Everyone around here is my people. Naturally, I have the final say on what I want to do and what I want to say. Shen Congshan, what makes you think that you are confident that you can sneak up on me? Underneath, escape with your whole body?"

Shen Congshan's eyes darkened. Before he could react, Yun Luan clicked on his acupuncture points and found out all the poisons on his body... He was careless. He should have started to take advantage of Yun Luan. Luan didn't pay attention and poisoned her. Now, Yun Luan actually stayed calm and treated her like this. Damn it. Shen Congshan was very upset. Yun Luan asked Hei Yi to take Shen Congshan down and lock him up first. . She thought of the ghost doctor Shen Huanzhi, and she wondered if Shen Congshan could be used to deal with Shen Huanzhi? The bandit suppression was temporarily over. Most of the bandits had no bones left, except for the little ones. Some hundreds of people surrendered one after another, hoping to survive. Yun Luan asked people to take all the surrendered bandits into cells. She took the people back to Yongzhou City and began to strengthen the defense in the city. Then, she let Those people who moved out returned to live in Yongzhou City. After about a month of killings and smoke, Yongzhou City finally returned to peace. From then on, under Yun Luan's supervision, Yongzhou will no longer have bandits running rampant and killing people wantonly. Yun Luan did not stay in Yongzhou for long. On the third day after the bandit suppression, she packed her bags and took people back to Kyoto City. Yun Qing's body still needed to rest for a while. Zhou Tong suggested that they The two of them stayed in Yongzhou City first... to straighten out the order in Yongzhou City and help the people of Yongzhou return to their previous living standards. Yun Luan agreed without any objection. She left 10,000 soldiers in Yongzhou City, and then took the rest Yun Luan's premonition was correct. On the night she returned to Kyoto, Xiao Tingyan was assassinated. Two days ago, Xiao Tingyan received an anonymous letter. The letter contained personal and material evidence about the murder of the late emperor... The anonymous person asked Xiao Tingyan to meet at a dilapidated temple outside the city. At that time, the anonymous person would hand over all the evidence. Xiao Tingyan. Originally, Xiao Tingyan didn't believe it. He thought it was a trap no matter how he looked at it. However, the evidence mentioned in the letter was extremely tempting to him. He did not want to miss such an important piece of evidence. He was enough. After thinking about it for two days, that night, he finally decided to go out to the temple in the city to look for evidence. When he set out, he brought a lot of black feather guards with him and made sufficient preparations. After arriving at the temple, he He met the anonymous person who sent him the message. This person was dressed in black and had a black scarf on his face, covering most of his face. Xiao Tingyan almost remembered where he had seen this person at the first sight. He seemed to have seen this person in a restaurant. He was accompanied by the woman in a red dress. They were a group of very strangely dressed people. That’s why Xiao Tingyan’s memory is so profound. Xiao Tingyan Shen Sheng asked: "Who are you? How can you have evidence that the late emperor was murdered?"

The man in black did not finish speaking, but put some evidence and information in an envelope and handed it to Xiao Tingyan. Xiao Tingyan did not accept it, he frowned and looked at the man in black. "What is your purpose? Or, what are the conditions?"

The man in black sneered: "I don't have any conditions, nor any purpose. I just want to see the members of your royal family killing each other. King Yan, if I say that the previous emperor was killed by the current emperor, "...Do you believe it?" "Not only was the late emperor killed by him, but even your mother and concubine died in his hands. You and he have a blood feud... In these years, you have endured the humiliation and burden, most of the time They are all entrenched in Kyoto City, don’t you just want to find out the truth about that year?”

Xiao Tingyan's arm trembled uncontrollably. He lowered his eyes and looked at the envelope that was handed over. He could probably make a complete guess about what happened that year. However, without the support of evidence, All his conjectures were just conjectures. But what if the conjectures turned into reality? Can he still maintain his original calmness? At this moment, for some reason, Xiao Tingyan became timid. The man in black looked at his hesitation and continued He sneered and said: "Open it and take a look. The content here is all true, and there is no false content. They have died tragically for so many years, and it is time for you to seek justice for them and avenge them."

"King Yan, I am really looking forward to the moment when you and the current emperor completely turn against each other. I think that will be a very exciting moment... You will not let me down, right?"

Xiao Tingyan suppressed the panic in his heart and took the letter. The man in black did not stop at all and left the temple immediately. Xiao Tingyan did not allow anyone to enter the temple. He found a step full of dirt and sat down, taking a photo The moonlight slowly opened the envelope. His eyes fell on the letter paper. After taking that look, his body froze, like a sculpture, and would never move again. He just held the letter paper and Then read what was in his heart. He read it over and over again. His eyes slowly turned red. His arms were shaking very badly... "How could this happen?"

"Xiao Chongshan... it was indeed you. It was indeed you who killed my mother, concubine and father."

He clenched his fist and punched the stone table next to him. With a bang, the stone table was smashed into pieces. A lot of blood flowed from the back of his hand. Shi Li, who was guarding outside, heard what was going on inside. There was a sound, and he rushed in quickly. "Prince, are you okay?"

Xiao Tingyan raised his scarlet eyes. His whole body seemed to be covered by thousands of years of glaciers, and there was no longer any warmth. "Let's go to Ningyuan Temple..." Shi Li was startled, and his eyes glanced at the letter paper in Xiao Tingyan's hand. " Prince, have you got the evidence?"

Xiao Tingyan gathered the letter and stuffed it into his arms. He took out a piece of handkerchief and wiped the blood on the back of his hand. Then he stood up, with a cold look in his eyes. "It's time for us to go find the Queen Mother. Reminiscing about old times."

Over the years, the Queen Mother has been living in Ningyuan Temple without caring about worldly affairs. It seems that everything in the world has nothing to do with her. She does not seem to be an extremely noble Queen Mother, but a nun who has become a monk and has escaped from the mortal world. She is in Ningyuan He stayed in the temple for twenty years. People who didn't know the inside story thought that the Queen Mother was dead. Many people were puzzled. Why did the Queen Mother want to stay in Ningyuan Temple and live the life of the Qinglan Ancient Buddha when she was enjoying all the glory and wealth? The miserable days of At Ningyuan Temple, more than a hundred assassins dressed in black suddenly appeared secretly. They all held sharp blades in their hands and looked at Xiao Tingyan with cold faces. Shi Li guarded Xiao Tingyan, intending to let Xiao Tingyan leave first. Xiao Tingyan stood still. He looked at the assassins who suddenly appeared and smiled suddenly. "Did the emperor send you here? Are you Dragon Guard?"

A bit of surprise flashed across the eyes of one of the men in black. Xiao Tingyan naturally caught the change in the man's eyes: "You really made me guess right? Your Majesty sent you here, didn't you intend to let me know today?" Have you gone back to Kyoto City?"

"Did he realize that the king knew something, so he wanted to kill people and silence him? After pretending for so many years, he finally couldn't pretend anymore."

He finally tore off the mask of disguise in front of him. The leader of the Dragon Guard said in a deep voice: "King Yan, if you had not investigated the truth, maybe His Majesty could have spared your life. Unfortunately, you can't live a peaceful life. We must dig up the secrets that His Majesty has tried so hard to bury."
