"What do you want to do?"

The lady's face changed slightly, and she instantly turned a little pale.

She stared at Yang Dong, but there was a little fear in her eyes.

"If you want to kill, you will be killed, but what is the difference between you and a villain when you act like this?"

"Yo, isn't Fang Cai quite tough?"

Yang Dong said, suddenly grabbed the noble lady's wrist, and then hung her at the mouth of the ancient well.

At this moment, the lady's face turned green!

She didn't even dare to struggle, because at this moment, Yang Dong's palm was all she relied on. As soon as the other party let go, she will fall from the ancient well.

And the screams from the ancient well made her even more terrifying.

"I'll give you three breaths, and if you don't tell the truth, go and be with your accomplices."

"One ......"

"Two ......"

"Don't, I said, I said it can't be done!"

At this moment, the whole person of the noble lady was trembling slightly. She may not be afraid of death, but she is afraid of facing that terrible carrion!

"Drag me up, I'll tell you everything you want to know!"

When Yang Dong heard this, he dragged the noble lady back up from the ancient well.

He glanced at his men, and the boulder pressed down on the ancient well again.

At this moment, the noble lady no longer has the same calmness as before.

Her face turned pale, and she sat on the ground, gasping for air.

"Tell me everything you know."

Yang Dong's tone was still flat, but it gave people an irresistible feeling.

"What you want to investigate should be the tax and silver case of that year, right?"

"Yes, I was indeed assigned by the Xu family to play the only daughter of Lord Xu. My titular father, on the other hand, was someone else. ”

"After the tax and silver case, we all played our part. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty chose to ignore this matter. Don't you wonder why? ”

At this, the lady glanced at the little young woman with a slightly provocative look.

"Actually, your father also knew about the Xu family's plan back then, and many key steps were handled by him personally."

As soon as these words came out, the little young woman's face turned pale in an instant. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she flatly denied it:

"No way, how could my father agree to such a ridiculous thing?"

"Won't he think about it, my mother and me?"

When the noble lady heard this, the expression on her cheeks became more and more mocking.

"Your father only thought about you and your mother, so he should have done this. That's right, it's the piece of nephrite in your hand. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the nephrite in the little young woman's hand and continued:

"If it weren't for your father entering the game, do you think you would be able to get the identity card representing the Xu family?"

As soon as these words came out, the little young woman also remembered that she had not noticed some details back then.

Think about what my father confessed to himself before he committed suicide, it was clearly his last words!

Seeing that the little young woman was emotionally broken, Yang Dong immediately took a few steps forward, blocking the noble lady's sight, and then asked:

"You mean, the mastermind behind the tax and silver case back then was the Xu family?"

"But even the Xu family, I'm afraid they don't have the power to control the entire court, right?"

When the noble lady heard this, she glanced at Yang Dong deeply and said:

"It's true that the Xu family doesn't have it, but it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't."

"What do you mean...... Did the Xu family join forces with Zhou Zaixing? ”

When the lady heard this, she looked at Yang Dong with interest.

"Looks like you've found something. It's just a pity that now that the general trend has come true, everything you do is doomed to be in vain. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Yang Dong frowned, but there was a faint bad premonition in his heart.

But the noble lady shook her head slightly,

"To tell you the truth, I was raised as an orphan, and everything I did was do what I was told."

"Whether it's the Xu family or Zhou Zaixing, that's all my own speculation over the years."

"What I can tell you is that the Xu family and that Lord Xu jointly created the tax and silver case, and called the successful Li Dai Taozhuang, hiding from the world."

"As for their purpose, and the next step, it's not something I can get access to."

After saying that, the noble lady spread her hands and continued:

"By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Meng Ji. If you believe me, I can be a pawn in your hands and continue to track this matter. ”

When Yang Dong heard this, he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

What are you kidding, and you still become a pawn in the hands of the master?

What is the difference between letting you go and beating a dog with meat buns?

"Someone, take her down and keep her under strict supervision."

Yang Dong waved his hand towards the door, and immediately two spies from the West Factory came in, trying to control Meng Ji.

Meng Ji was delicate, flexible as a beautiful snake, easily dodging the palms of the two Western Factory spies.

"I'll go with you myself, don't touch me."

After speaking, she glanced at Yang Dong deeply, and said:

"You saved my life today, and I owe you my life. I'll pay you back when I get the chance. ”

Yang Dong remembered the carrion corpse in the ancient well, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, the rotting corpse in the ancient well ......"

"I don't know anything about it."

Meng Ji shook her head slightly, but there was a hint of trepidation in her eyes.

"Well, take her away, and as long as she doesn't try to escape, you don't have to be tortured."

Yang Dong commanded again, then frowned, and thought secretly.

Two secret agents from the West Factory took Meng Ji away, and then closed the door of the house heavily.

At this moment, in the reception hall, only Yang Dong and three people remained.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

The little young woman took a deep breath, and although her eyes were full of sadness, she calmly spoke:

"I feel that Meng Ji is not lying."

"Looking back on what happened back then, my father seems to know something. Merely...... He didn't mention anything to me. ”

Yang Dong nodded lightly,

"Anything else?"

The little young woman frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said with some uncertainty:

"One more thing, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the tax and silver case that year."

"About half a year before the tax and silver case, my father secretly met with the people of the Xu family in Jiangnan. They talked late at night in their study. I happened to be passing by and couldn't help but eavesdrop on a few words. ”

"What they say seems to have something to do with the treasury......

"Something to do with the treasury?"

Yang Dong frowned again, the treasury of the Great Zhou, he hadn't cared about it before.

Therefore, since he arrived in the Great Zhou, his concept of the treasury only has two words: "emptiness".

It was precisely because the treasury was empty that he gave Yourong several million taels of silver.

But now it seems that the treasury of the Great Zhou is empty, and I am afraid that there is also a mystery hidden in it.

Let's go back and revise the book, and remind you to have a word.

Yang Dong made a decision silently, and continued to ask:

"Are there any other clues?"
