"What?" Zu An was really shocked now. He never expected that the other party could be related to King Yan.
He couldn't help but be shocked. King Yan was famous for fighting against the demon sect and the rebels of the demon sect in recent years. He had received countless awards from the court for this. Everyone recognized him as his mortal enemy, and no one would associate them with each other.
"Are you surprised?" Yun Jianyue smiled, "Because of this, I just wanted to confirm whether you are trustworthy or not."
Zu An frowned: "I remember when Honglei was caught by Prince Yan's Mansion, I tried to find a way to rescue her. When did you get in touch?"
"Before that, there were some rumors in the court during that time, and it was suspected that King Yan was raising bandits, so we worked together to put on a play, but we didn't expect that it would be you who came from the court at that time." Yun Jianyue seemed a little apologetic.
Zu An understood a lot of things in an instant. The alliance between King Yan and the Demon Sect was actually a logical thing. King Yan was extremely ambitious, so he must not feel comfortable being a thug of the court. In addition, he was already a vassal king.
There is no way to seal it.
Even if the demon sect is really wiped out, what will be gained?
Is it possible that he can further become a prince?
On the contrary, it will lead to the loss of troops and generals, and although he is from the royal family, he is not of the same lineage as Zhao Hao, and the blood relationship is relatively distant. He still understands the principle of cunning rabbits dying and running dogs being cooked, and flying birds doing their best and hiding their bows.
So on the surface, he tried his best to suppress the demon sect, but in fact, he cultivated the bandits' self-respect. In this way, he could continuously obtain various military supplies from the court, various rewards, and policy advantages.
There is too much room for manipulation, so you can smuggle supplies.
, it is logical to support a private army.
Naturally, the Demon Sect did not want to have a King Yan who would besiege and suppress them all day long. The two sides hit it off immediately. Every year, the Demon Sect was responsible for providing some victims so that King Yan could obtain military exploits for cross-examination, and they relied on King Yan's protection to strengthen themselves.
No wonder the words he said when he saved Qiu Honglei were so strange, and he also said inexplicable things like whether he would be forgiven if he did something sorry for him. It turned out to be because of this.
Qiu Honglei was not in danger at all at that time. She knew the truth but could not explain it to herself, so she could only hint vaguely.
The words of the seventh gold medalist at that time were easy to understand. As a gold medal embroidered man sent by the emperor to monitor one side, he might have long suspected the relationship between King Yan and the Demon Cult.
After participating in the rescue of Qiu Honglei, from all the details he encountered, he may have determined that the two parties were indeed colluding.
And those incomprehensible words he said to himself at that time, which seemed like his last words, were probably because he was worried that his life would be in danger if he continued to investigate King Yan, so he kept it to himself.
What happened next was just as he expected, and he died inexplicably not long after.
Yun Jianyue watched his face change from gloomy to sunny, and finally became calm, and then she said: "I know you are a smart person, and you should have figured out the key by now."
Zu An nodded, and finally sighed quietly: "You have made it difficult for everyone in the world to hide it. If King Yan hadn't been arrested this time, wouldn't you have told me the truth?"
"It's true as you said, I wouldn't be like this if King Yan was captured, but..." Yun Jianyue stared at her with a pair of majestic red phoenix eyes with a hint of charm.
Looking at Zu An, "If it weren't for your relationship, I wouldn't tell the truth, but would use other words instead."
Zu An smiled and hugged her: "It seems that Sister Yun really regards me as one of her own, otherwise she wouldn't have told me such a secret of the Demon Sect."
"Don't be too big or small." Yun Jianyue moved to the side, avoiding his contact, "I have told you that you must respect me as a master from now on, otherwise Honglei will discover something abnormal sooner or later.
of."
Zu An had a strange look on his face. Thinking of the way he had bullied her back then, it was really difficult to treat her as a master or an elder.
"Ahem," he quickly calmed down, "but according to what you said, King Yan is still the biggest suspect in killing Gold Medal No. 7."
Yun Jianyue shook her head: "King Yan has revealed several times that he wants to kill Gold Medal No. 7, but his identity makes it inconvenient to kill him, so he has contacted the Holy Cult several times, but I thought that you are also a gold medal embroiderer, and I am afraid that Gold Medal No. 7
I have no friendship with you, so I didn’t agree."
Zu An's heart moved and he looked at her with some emotion: "We hadn't had a close relationship at that time, but you were so considerate of me. Sister Yun really did have me in her heart."
Yun Jianyue spat: "Bah, at first I was just a favored person from you in the palace, and I just wanted to return the favor to you. How could I have thought so much."
Zu An didn't argue, just looked at it with a smile.
"What are you looking at? Let's get down to business." Yun Jianyue was a little annoyed. I finally thought of a way to get along with him, but I didn't expect this guy to be so thick-skinned. I couldn't resist.
Zu An then stopped smiling: "Could it be that King Yan found someone else to do it?"
Clouds
Yue shook her head: "Impossible. Not long after the incident with Gold Medal No. 7, he contacted the Holy Cult and asked us to help him investigate the truth of the matter. There is no need for him to lie to me."
Zu An nodded and agreed with her words. Prince Yan and her were in a cooperative relationship, so there was no need to lie to her on this matter.
No wonder King Yan said in prison that he had found someone to investigate but was unwilling to tell who it was. The main reason was that once his collusion with the Demon Cult was exposed, he would die without a burial place, so he did not dare to tell Gold Medal Eleven.
But he never expected that the leader of the Demon Cult would be so familiar with me.
"Did Sister Yun find anything?"
Yun Jianyue replied: "Originally, I thought that with King Yan's energy and the ability of our Holy Cult, it would be easy to find out the real culprit. But as a result, I kept looking for clues and then lost them. After a while, nothing happened.
No clues about the value were found, and at that time I realized that there was a powerful force behind it, even as powerful as King Yan hiding in the darkness."
Zu An was stunned: "The entire Yi County is the territory of King Yan, and with the help of your holy religion, how can there be such a power that you don't know about?"
"This is also what we are puzzled about," Yun Jianyue also frowned, "But King Yan is also a tycoon. Since he can't find the mastermind behind the scenes, he should guide the matter in the direction that is most beneficial to him.
Just when you came to Yi County, he asked the embroidered messenger named Jiang Zhong to mislead you and go check Xiaoyao Tower."
Zu An suddenly realized that this was the case: "Why does he want me to deal with Xiaoyao Tower?"
The Pegasus Chamber of Commerce under King Yan originally competed with the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce in Yunzhong County.
Could it be that there is some connection between Xiaoyao Building and Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce?
Yun Jianyue's answer surprised him: "Xiaoyao Tower and Zhang Taishou of Yi County are somewhat close, and in recent years Zhang Jie has been against King Yan on various things, and King Yan has hindered his status.
I can't deal with him and have always regarded him as a thorn in his side, so I want you to investigate Xiaoyao Tower, then check on Zhang Jie and help him get rid of this opponent."
Zu An's head jumped?
Zhang Jie?
I seemed to have ignored his existence before.
How could he be as cowardly and incompetent as he appeared after being able to fight with King Yan in Yi County for so many years?
"But you clearly fell into the trap, why didn't you go check Xiaoyao Tower later, and instead started checking King Yan again?" Yun Jianyue helped King Yan ask his biggest doubt these days.
At first, King Yan thought that his trick of diverting water to the east was very clever, but it did not work and made him uncomfortable even when sleeping.
Naturally, he had nothing to hide from Yun Jianyue. Zu An replied: "The main reason is that there is a friend of mine in Xiaoyao Building. We chatted and I don't think he will lie to me."
"You deliberately omitted the name of the other party. She must be a girl, and she must be a charming and beautiful woman." Yun Jianyue sneered again and again, "You are really good at this kid. You have three religions and nine streams, whether it is a famous sect or some secret organization.
, all have your little lovers."
The anger value from Yunjianyue is +200+200+200...
Zu An smiled coquettishly and said: "How can there be a relationship between friends? A relationship between friends."
"Are you the same friend as me?" Yun Jianyue blurted out and regretted it. Didn't this involve herself?
"Then there is definitely no Sister Yun
Sister, you are so close." Zu An immediately said seriously, this was the truth and there was no guilt at all.
"Who is intimate with you?" Yun Jianyue's expression was a little unnatural, and she didn't know what scene she was thinking of. "If King Yan knew that he lost to your love, he would probably be angry to death."
Zu An could only laugh with him, worried that she would use the topic as an excuse, and asked hurriedly: "I am actually very curious about how King Yan bribed Jiang Zhong. You must know that the messengers of embroidered clothes will go through strict scrutiny, and they are all clean-blooded and strong-willed people.
Jiang Zhong’s status is not low, how could he bribe him?”
The Embroidered Clothes Messenger has not been established for too long, and it has not been long enough for this organization to become corrupted.
Yun Jianyue said solemnly: "King Yan did not bribe him, but saved his life."
Zu An was stunned, what was going on.
Yun Jianyue did not wait for him to ask, and continued: "Jiang Zhong was silenced by a group of mysterious people. By chance, he was rescued by King Yan, and then he was taken under his command."
"Silent?" Zu An was horrified. The messenger in embroidered clothes would be silenced. Who in the world would dare to do such a thing?
Is it possible that there is strife among factions within Xiulou?
Yun Jianyue said: "This is also the only gain we have found during this period of investigation. The person who wants to kill him is the killer of Youying Tower."
"Youying Tower?" Zu An didn't expect to hear the name of this mysterious organization again. From Mingyue City to the capital, and then here, he has dealt with them several times. This organization is even more mysterious than Xiaoyao Tower.
point.
You can finally find their gold-selling cave in Xiaoyao Tower, but no one has ever seen where it is in Youying Tower.
"That Jiang Zhong seems to have been unknown to Youying Tower.
What methods did he use to win over him, but unfortunately he knows very little about Youying Tower, and we didn't get any valuable information." Yun Jianyue seemed a little irritated when talking about this.
"Why was he silenced?" Zu An said after thinking for a moment.
"This involves a batch of missing gunpowder cases." Yun Jianyue paused, "And I went to Zishan this time to investigate this matter."
