Chapter 1147: Being a ghost won't let you go
ββ¦β¦ Ye Xi shakes? Liu Mingzhu's face suddenly appeared with a look of excitement, and he walked forward quickly, grabbing the railing of the cell with both hands, "Why are you here?" You're here to save me, aren't you? β
"No," Ye Xi shook his head slowly, and said in a calm tone, "I'm here to give you a ride-"
"What...... What? Liu Mingzhu was a little incredulous, "You want to kill me?" β
"I don't even dare to kill a chicken, how dare I kill someone?" Ye Xi shook the corners of his lips lightly, "This...... asked Liu Xuanzhi to come by himself. β
"So...... You really want to kill me?! Seeing that she didn't look like she was joking, Liu Mingzhu's eyes showed a touch of vigilance.
"Or else?" Ye Xi tilted his head to look at her, "What should I do if Liu Xuanzhi gives me out?" β
"I didn't give you out!" Liu Mingzhu glared at her angrily, "I said, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't preach morality!" β
"But I'm more convinced that the mouth of a dead man is the strictestβ"
"You ......"
"Liu Xuanzhi helped me get rid of the big trouble in my heart, and I should also thank Liu Xuanzhi," Ye Xiyan didn't wait for her to say more, and interrupted her in a low voice, "It's just ...... I can't afford to take this risk, if His Royal Highness King Hui knew that Yu Jingrong's slut's death was related to me, he would kill me!" In order to protect myself, I can only choose to sacrifice Liu Xuanzhi. β
After finishing speaking, he took two steps forward, took out a small pale cyan porcelain bottle from his arms, and handed it to her through the gap between the railings of the cell: "Liu Xuanzhi rest assured, this is very fast, and there will not be much pain." β
"You...... Why do you think I'm going to listen to you?! Liu Mingzhu didn't pick it up, took two steps back, and glared at her coldly, "You came alone, you can't force me!" β
"I can't, but it canβ" Ye Xi shook his eyes slightly, and slowly took out an object wrapped in red cloth from his body and held it to her.
"My uncle's official seal!" Although she didn't open it, Liu Mingzhu recognized at a glance that it was the seal representing the identity of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu that she had stolen from her uncle's study a few days ago and handed to her as a token, and a look of nervousness immediately appeared on her face, "What are you going to do?!" β
"I know that Liu Xuanzhi will not give in easily, so I can only use this as a threat," Ye Xiyan raised the corners of his lips again, "I heard that the Ministry of Industry received a million taels of silver from the Ministry of Household not long ago for the construction of the Yellow River embankment. If you refuse to die, I will write a document in the name of Lord Shangshu to the official in charge of building the embankment and order him to cut corners and deduct the construction funds from it, affix this official seal, and then let this document be intercepted by His Royal Highness King Hui and sent to the emperor at that time. This is a major matter related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people on both sides of the Yellow River, and I think it will never be as simple as the dismissal of officials, even if they are not beheaded, they will be exiled! Can you bear to watch your whole family be convicted for your greed for life and fear of death?! β
"You...... Hello ruthless means! Liu Mingzhu's face was even more angry, and she was about to rush up to give her a few slaps, but she suddenly thought of something, and her expression froze, "On that day, you wanted me to use my uncle's official seal as a token, and at that time, you thought about using it to blackmail me and force me to cut myself?" β
"Not bad." Ye Xiyan had no intention of hiding it from her and admitted it frankly.
"That'...... Today's framing of Jingrong was revealed......"
"It's also what I did," Ye Xiyan looked at her lightly, "Otherwise, how can you be locked up here?" β
"Heh, hehe......" Liu Mingzhu smiled sadly, "So...... At the beginning, you came to me to discuss the matter of getting rid of Yu Jingrong, and you planned to get rid of me together? You've been using me as a gunman throughout? β
"That's rightβ"
"You ......"
"I can't leave myself with trouble," Ye Xiyan casually threw the small porcelain bottle on the straw in the cell, took two steps back, and raised his hand towards her, "Liu Xuanshi, please, I'll watch you drink before leaving." β
"Ye Xiyao, you are ruthless enough!" Although Liu Mingzhu was reluctant in every way, she knew that if she refused to comply, she would be able to do what she said and do to frame her whole family, she glanced at her hatefully, turned a few steps inside, and picked up the porcelain vase tremblingly, "You wait, I won't let you goββ! β
When he finished speaking, he uncorked the bottle in despair, tilted his head and poured all the liquid into his mouth.
