Zhan Yaoyuan was stunned instinctively, and then quickly laughed to resolve the embarrassment.

"As a Dali Siqing, Master Pei has a discerning eye, and this king admires," Zhan Yaoyuan first raised and then suppressed, and suddenly changed his words, "But as a man, Master Pei has a unique vision, and this king really can't understand it."

"Keeping such a woman by your side, regardless of whether it will steal the limelight and credit of Master Pei, it is just the way for men and women to get along...... Master Pei is afraid that he will feel bored after the novelty, and it will be very troublesome to get rid of it in the future. ”

"Oh?" Pei Wuyi pretended to show interest in the topic.

Zhan Yaoyuan thought that he had a common topic with Pei Wuyi, and he was even more energetic.

"Women should be gentle and obedient, there are a lot of lovely beauties under this king, if Lord Pei is willing to appreciate his face and make friends with this king, the beauties will be chosen by adults."

Pei Wuyi smiled at Zhan Yaoyuan with a complicated smile that looked enthusiastic and cold, and said:

"King Hyonam does more incomprehensible things, right? King Xiaonan can rest assured, you don't look down on a woman like Qingfeng, and a woman like Qingfeng can't look down on you. King Xiaonan can only choose among the gentle, obedient, ignorant and ignorant beauties. ”

Zhan Yaoyuan's smile froze on his face.

Pei Wuyi saluted and left.

Entrapment failed.

Yu Qingfeng waited at the door of Pei Wuyi's room, waiting to ask him what Zhan Yaoyuan said to him.

Seeing Pei Wuyi coming over, Yu Qingfeng got straight to the point: "Zhan Yaoyuan wants to win you over?" ”

Pei Wuyi opened the door, pulled Yu Qingfeng in, closed the door, and the action was done in one go.

"Yes, as you said, Zhan Yaoyuan has a seven-trick exquisite heart, he is a vassal king who is not allowed to enter Beijing unless he is summoned, and he can meet Dali Siqing in Annan Prefecture, how can he let go of such a good opportunity?"

Pei Wuxian sat on the edge of the bed, tilted his head slightly, squinted and smiled, his gaze glued to Yu Qingfeng.

"Deliberately carrying me behind my back, isn't it to make a beauty trick and use a beauty to bribe you to win you over?"

Pei Wuyi shrugged his shoulders, "Yu Sizhi is really smart. ”

"How did you refuse?"

"Why should I refuse?"

Yu Qingfeng, "Master Pei is still addicted to playing a scumbag?" ”

"It's true that I can't play for a while. I'm now full of the way you and I are coquettish and jealous, and the two of us are swearing to me. ”

After speaking, Pei Wuyi beckoned, and pointed to the position beside him, meaning to let Yu Qingfeng go over and sit side by side with him on the bed.

It's an old routine, when they first met, the two of them played this game of who is shy first. At that time, Yu Qingfeng could still plan and make Pei Wuyi blush and admit defeat first. But this is not the same as it used to be.

Yu Qingfeng stood still.

"Qingfeng," Pei Wuxian put away his playful smile and said solemnly, "Although I think I know the prince, I can't say for sure whether he will turn against me because of the love of brother and sister and because of Qi Yao's death." As for the emperor, with his temperament, the best outcome for me is to no longer be reused, and to change from a big celebrity to a cold bench. As for the worst......"

"Worst is dethronement?" Yu Qingfeng asked in a low voice, "Or, is it more serious?" ”

"It's hard to say, if I go back with the living Qi Yao, the consequence is very likely that their Qi family will reverse black and white together, and I will either be obediently a colt, or I will be degraded or condemned; Then it's better to let Qi Yao subjugate in the Netherworld Tower, and at least I won't have to be a colt when I go back. ”

"I know," Yu Qingfeng slowly walked over to Pei Wuxian and sat down, "I saw it just now in the Nether Tower. ”

Pei Wuyi turned sideways to face Yu Qingfeng, "If it's the worst outcome, I said, I will take you away, we elope, even if it's the end of the world, as long as we are together." ”

"Well, you said, when acting." Yu Qingfeng's heart beat faster.

"Well, when acting," Pei Wuyi was also a little nervous, his eyes and hands had nowhere to put them, "You still ask me, is what I said true?" ”

"I asked." Yu Qingfeng's body stiffened, and her hands unconsciously played with the tassel of her belt. Sure enough, the routine also comes from life, and it turns out that there are really such small actions when you are nervous.

I replied, "Absolutely." The more Pei Wuyi spoke, the quieter his voice became, "You asked again, and I still answered......"

"Dangdangdang." A knock on the door interrupted Pei's words.

Yu Qingfeng stood up suddenly, angrily facing the guy knocking on the door.

Is it still not the right time? Otherwise, how can the confession be interrupted? When she was an audience, she saw vomiting, and she experienced it herself, and she really wanted to hit someone.

Pei Wuyi's mood was no better than Yu Qingfeng's, he got up angrily, walked to the door, opened the door, and asked angrily, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Ming stood at the door, and when he saw Yu Qingfeng standing behind Pei Wuyi, he was also accustomed to it, and he was not surprised at all.

"Master Pei, Qingfeng, just now Fan Zhizhou's people came to report, Su Niang woke up and learned that the princess committed suicide in fear of sin, and she was also martyred on the spot, the jailer had never seen this meeting, and he didn't have time to react."

Yu Qingfeng's impulse to beat someone just now dissipated instantly, Su Niang was an important witness, "Are you dead?" ”

Lin Ming sighed helplessly and nodded, "Lang Zhong rescued him, but he didn't save it." So now there is only one witness left, Wang Jiansheng, in the hands of Fan Zhizhou. We must obtain his confession as soon as possible and get him to sign it, so that we don't have too many nights. ”

Pei Wuyi also put away the emotional state just now and entered the work state:

"Yes, although the victim is also a witness, if you want to convince Your Majesty, you must bring back a living witness for him. Moreover, when those victims go to the capital, I am afraid that they will be involuntary and become victims of the royal reputation. ”

"Then let's go and interrogate Wang Jiansheng now," Yu Qingfeng looked at the deep night outside, "Otherwise, it will really be a long night." ”

Wang Jiansheng's palm was pierced, and the wound had been medicated and bandaged, and he was now in the prison with the pain.

Yu Qingfeng and the four of them watched Wang Jiansheng through the fence until he was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and he only felt very happy.

Fan Zhizhou sent the chief bookkeeper of the government to record the confession; Lian Shurong is responsible for supervising the main bookkeeping records; Lin Ming is responsible for asking questions; Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyi were only responsible for listening.

Wang Jiansheng followed Lin Ming's request and endured the pain and started from the beginning.

Qi Yao married to Annan Prefecture two years ago, and it is natural that he should become an ally with Fan Zhizhou. At that time, Wang Jiansheng was already Fan Zhizhou's staff. That's how the two met.

Qi Yao took a fancy to the handsome Wang Jiansheng and took the initiative to show his goodwill.

Wang Jiansheng, as a staff member, is the most inconspicuous and least favored by Fan Zhizhou, but he found a sense of existence here in Qi Yao.

came and went, and Wang Jiansheng easily became Qi Yao's male favorite.

There were a few night trysts, and Wang Jiansheng met General Wei. At first, he was still afraid, but later he found out that Zhan Yaoyuan had long been clear about Qi Yao's relationship with him, and acquiesced.

Wang Jiansheng also learned from Qi Yao that Zhan Yaoyuan had never touched Qi Yao at all. It is rumored that Zhan Yaoyuan is not close to women because he doesn't want to leave an heir, as long as the bloodline of the Zhan family is passed down, he, a traitor, will be dragged to hell by the unjust souls of his fathers.

Qi Yao thinks so. But Wang Jiansheng guessed that Zhan Yaoyuan didn't want an heir, but he didn't want to be with Qi Yao's heir, he still wanted to keep the purity of the Zhan bloodline and keep Annan Prefecture from being completely paid by Dayong in the future.

A year and a half ago, Qi Yao suddenly mentioned to Wang Jiansheng that he wanted to explore the Netherworld Tower. Wang Jiansheng only learned after asking that it turned out that Qi Yao had seen a construction drawing of the Netherworld Tower in Zhan Yaoyuan's study, and was very curious.

Qi Yao couldn't understand it, so he stole the picture out and showed it to Wang Jiansheng.

The two pondered for a while, and were surprised to find that there was a huge mechanism hidden under the Nether Tower, which could not only control the spiral staircase to slowly rotate up and down, so that the entrance and exit of the first floor would disappear, but also control the Netherworld Tower to open the hidden space of the fourth underground floor.

However, according to the construction diagram, this mechanism cannot be opened from the outside at all.

The two of them were somewhat disappointed that the mechanism could not be opened from the outside, so didn't that mean that the Nether Tower had become an ordinary tower?

Wang Jiansheng noticed that there was a small mark on the stone pillar every few steps, and they didn't understand what the mark meant, so they were even more curious.

With curiosity comes fun. Qi Yao and Wang Jiansheng began to secretly observe Zhan Yaoyuan and General Wei.

Qi Yao found that on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, General Wei would leave the palace and go to the Netherworld Tower alone at night.

Every time he set out, he would go to the kitchen of the palace to bring some dry food, and he would also go to Zhan Yaoyuan's secret room to take out a pocket. What is in the pocket, it is not visible.

Wang Jiansheng and Qi Yao acted separately, and Qi Yao was responsible for entering the secret room to see what was hidden inside; Wang Jiansheng is in charge of tracking General Wei to see what is hiding in the tower.

On the evening of the fifteenth, both of them were full of harvest.

Wang Jiansheng secretly followed General Wei into the Netherworld Tower, watched General Wei ascend the spiral staircase, counted the steps, and then selected a certain section of steps, and knocked the steps hard, with an interval of three long and two short, a total of five times.

At that time, Wang Jiansheng guessed that the steps knocked by General Wei must be one of the steps marked on the construction drawing. Further up, there are several more such steps. The three long and two short that General Wei knocked should be the code.

In other words, there is someone below the Nether Tower who has received his code. The dry food that General Wei brought was for that person.

The facts quickly proved that Wang Jiansheng's reasoning was correct, because he felt that the entrance and exit of the Nether Tower behind him disappeared, and the stone bricks on the ground that he saw with his own eyes suddenly sinked and moved towards the edge, and there was an additional round hole in the ground.

Subsequently, the staircase began to move slowly downward.

General Wei stood on the stairs, patiently waiting for the stairs to take him down, not noticing Wang Jiansheng hidden in the darkness at all.

Wang Jiansheng waited for about half an hour before General Wei came up again. Sure enough, all the packages on General Wei's body were gone.

The mechanism was turned on again, General Wei departed through the exit, and the Nether Tower returned to its usual state.

Wang Jiansheng returned to the palace and told Qi Yao everything he had seen.

Qi Yao also told him that she had successfully entered Zhan Yaoyuan's secret room, and there was a skylight in the secret room that opened on the ceiling, and under the skylight was a field where mushrooms were grown.

Qi Yao stole a few mushrooms, wanting to find out what was so special about them and why Zhan Yaoyuan was secretly planting them.

Qi Yao didn't dare to eat it himself, so he asked Wang Jiansheng to eat it.

Wang Jiansheng did not dare to experiment with himself.

Qi Yao was very angry at first, and beat Wang Jiansheng. Later, she quickly discouraged, saying that she had a candidate who was the most suitable for this test subject.

This person's name is Zhang Xifan.
