Dressed as the villain's stepmother

The man picked up a pen and carefully wrote down what he knew on the paper, and then gave it to Liao Yunchuan.

After Liao Yunchuan took a look at it, he folded it and put it in his sleeve and walked out of the dungeon.

Hundred Restaurants.

Huang Xi was already waiting in the Tianzihao box.

Several waiters from the store carried a box of things in and placed it in front of Huang Xi with some difficulty.

"Sir, everything you want is here."

"Go out."

Huang Xi took a sip of wine and sent all the waiters out.

Waiting for the box door to be closed again, Huang Xi opened the box in front of him. Half of it contained white silver, and the other half contained gold and silver jewelry.

Just by looking at it, you can tell it is priceless.

"Boom."

There was a knock on the door. Huang Xi quickly closed the lid of the box again, then stood up and opened the door.

"you--"

Before Huang Xi could finish a word, his hands were suddenly clamped behind his back and a piece of cloth was stuffed into his mouth.

Huang Xi kept kicking his legs in an attempt to free himself, but was forced into the box, and then his hands and feet were tied up with hemp ropes.

"Are you sure he can say something like this?"

Jiang Lianzhu took off the veil she was wearing and put it aside, then glanced at Liao Yunchuan standing beside her.

She originally thought that Liao Yunchuan would choose a more roundabout way, but she didn't expect that he would be so straightforward. Not only did Huang Xi fail to react, but she was also caught off guard.

"The evidence has been placed in this room. Even if he wants to lie, what can he say?"

Liao Yunchuan squinted his eyes and his words were clear.

As soon as he entered, he noticed the wooden box placed aside. It was incompatible with the environment of the box. It was obviously brought in later.

"Too."

Jiang Lianzhu followed his line of sight and saw the box placed aside.

Liao Yunchuan put his dagger against Huang Xi's neck, and then pulled off the piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth.

Huang Xi breathed heavily as if he was surviving a disaster. He sat on the same spot and did not dare to move: "You, what do you want to do?"

"I didn't want to do anything. It's just that Mr. Huang neglected the good staff of the Prime Minister's Office. Instead, he went to work as a minor official in this county. I don't know what the purpose of this choice is."

Liao Yunchuan asked with a smile, a hint of danger in his voice.

No one would choose like Huang Xi, unless they saw some benefits in it.

"You, who are you and how do you know?"

"Six doors."

Liao Yunchuan took off the token hanging from his waist and showed it to Huang Xi.

Huang Xi's heart had already reached his throat. He couldn't believe that Liao Yunchuan was actually from the Six Doors in the capital.

"Also, we also know that you sent people to secretly mine iron ore and transport the ore to the border. The man who helped you has also written a confession."

As he spoke, he spread out the piece of paper he had taken out from the prison and placed it in front of Huang Xi.

The man's handwriting was illegible. Huang Xi had exchanged more than a dozen letters with him and could recognize his handwriting at a glance.

"Now that things have happened, what else do you have to refute?"

"I--"

Huang Xi opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. Liao Yunchuan was obviously fully prepared for this trip. No matter how much he denied it, it would be useless.

His thoughts are hard to guess, and his motives are even more unclear.

"Your Majesty, you went to great lengths to catch me and expose the things I have done. There must be other purposes, right?"

Huang Xi gritted his teeth and said something bravely.

"If you are willing to spare my life, I have some other things in my hand that you can take out. You should like them very much."

He once worked as a staff member in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a period of time. Although he was later assigned to serve as an official in the county, he still knew some of the inside stories that others didn't know.

Having already fallen into such a situation, there is no need to worry about whether these actions will offend the Prime Minister, and you have to save your life.

Jiang Lianzhu was not interested in the conversation between the two, so she opened the box next to her.

Countless elves were displayed in front of her in an instant. She picked up an east pearl placed among them, and she knew it was priceless just by looking at the color.

Huang Xi came here today to find that man. This box of treasures was probably placed here not just as a reward.

"Wait, before you say those things, why don't you explain carefully, what is the purpose of putting this box of treasures here?"

Jiang Lianzhu looked at Huang Xi with some playfulness in her voice.

"Are you planning to give all the treasures in this box to that man?"

"This... these are the things I want him to send to the capital for me. The forged weapons at the border have been sold a lot, and the treasures contained here were all exchanged with people in the tribe."

Huang Xi paused before saying.

He looked up at the silver in the box again, and then continued to answer: "As for this silver, it is the reward I plan to give him this time."

"I see."

Jiang Lianzhu smiled and sat down on a bench.

"You sent people to mine iron mines in Luoshui Town, and then transported them all the way to the frontier for forging, and then sold the weapons made to the surrounding tribes to obtain these colorful treasures. Just these things, It’s enough to kill you, how dare you negotiate terms with us now?”

After she finished speaking, Huang Xi was immediately stunned for a moment, and then bit his lower lip tightly, unable to speak even a single sentence.

He originally wanted to use what he knew to gain a chance of survival, but now he can only remain in a passive situation.

He did hold something they wanted in his hand, but as of now, it was not enough to be a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with them.

"These, these are the Prime Minister's orders. If it hadn't been for what the people above said, I definitely wouldn't have dared to do that!"

Huang Xi didn't know whether it was because he was reluctant to say anything when he was about to die, or if it was true, but he insisted that the prime minister must have done this.

Liao Yunchuan didn't speak at the side, but his eyes became darker and darker, and a storm was brewing inside.

"Are you completely sure that what you said is true?"

Liao Yunchuan asked after a moment.

"Yes! This batch of things was originally planned to be escorted by that man to the Prime Minister for me. If you doubt whether what I said is true or false, the worst possible scenario is to send someone pretending to be that man to deliver the things. The result will be revealed immediately. ?”
