Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 119 Heads rolling in

"Second brother, you are smarter, so go first."

"Second brother, you go first."

"Okay, I'll go first."

Seeing that the three of them had agreed, Zhongli Yuan asked An San to put down the second assassin and handed him a stack of papers.

"You pick one."

The second assassin flipped through the stack of papers and his expression became heavier the more he looked at it. These things were indeed not something that people like them in the underworld could know.

But the truth cannot be confirmed for the time being.

He picked out the one that looked the most hateful and handed it to Zhongli Yuan.

After Zhongli Yuan took it, he looked at the location and estimated the time needed to return.

"Is five days enough for a round trip?"

The second assassin estimated that it would take about three and a half days based on the location.

Giving him five days was obviously to give him time to find out the truth.

"enough."

"Okay, eat this. If you don't return in five days, you will die, and your two brothers will also be executed."

The three of them suddenly looked up at Zhongli Yuan.

"Why? Shouldn't it be like this?"

Looking back on what they did, it doesn't seem too excessive.

"Where's the antidote?"

"I'll give it to you when I get back. There's no need for the Emperor to go to such great lengths to take your lives."

The second assassin looked at the pill that Zhongli Yuan handed over, took it and swallowed it directly.

"Okay, big brother, third brother, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, the second assassin turned around and walked out like a hero cutting off his own arm. When he reached the corridor, he happened to meet Leng Qingyi who was coming down.

The second assassin immediately knelt down and saluted respectfully: "The sinner pays homage to the emperor."

"Kill who?"

"Hao Yunhui, the magistrate of Qing'an County, Qingzhou."

"Go."

"Yes."

Leng Qing looked at the second assassin who was kneeling very respectfully with surprise.

He shook his head, he never thought that Zhongli Yuan could make use of waste in this way.

However, she really didn't expect Zhongli Yuan to have such an idea.

Given Zhongli Yuan's previous rigid thinking, how could he have resorted to such unacceptable means?

However, this method is indeed fast in clearing out so many tumors in a short period of time.

Zhongli Hengyi in the cell felt extremely complicated at this moment.

He thought that as long as he said nothing, he could delay time until the man came to rescue him.

But judging from the emperor's attitude, he didn't want to get anything out of him at all, he just wanted him to die.

"Oh, the emperor's uncle is in good spirits."

A mean voice came into Zhongli Hengyi's ears. When he looked up, he saw his good nephew looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Heh, Your Majesty, are you here to see me make fun of myself?"

"Uncle, what's the matter with you? Your nephew is here to give you something."

Leng Qingyi handed the wooden hairpin in his hand to Zhongli Hengyi and shook it in front of him.

"How is it? Does it look familiar to you, uncle?"

Zhongli Hengyi couldn't hold back any longer when he saw the hairpin he made himself.

The veins on his forehead were throbbing and his lips were trembling. He wanted to reach out and touch it but couldn't move.

After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "You...what did you do to Yue Niang?"

"Didn't Prince Xin just tell me that he didn't know any Bai Yue?"

Zhongli Yuan just happened to come in at this time, and obediently walked to Leng Qingyi and stood half a step behind him.

Prince Xin didn't care about Zhongli Yuan's scolding at all, and his eyes were fixed on the wooden hairpin in Leng Qingyi's hand.

"It's a coincidence, the people I sent to confiscate your property just arrived at your fiefdom and encountered a woman who was being hunted. They kindly rescued her and after questioning her, they found out that she was the emperor's uncle's concubine."

"What? Why is Yue Niang being hunted?"

Leng Qing spread his hands and replied innocently, "Who knows?"

"How is Yue Niang now?"

"He was seriously injured and dying."

"what?"

Zhongli Hengyi's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he stared at Leng Qingyi, hoping that he had heard it wrong.

"I said your good Yue Niang was being hunted and was seriously injured and was about to die."

Zhongli Hengyi completely lost his defense and struggled to shout, "Impossible! I have already arranged a way out for Yue Niang. You are lying to me."

Leng Qingyi shook the wooden hairpin in his hand again. He didn't say anything, but the hairpin explained everything.

"Who is it? Who wants to harm Yue Niang?"

"That's the question for you. Who is it?"

Zhongli Hengyi suddenly came back to his senses, his face full of disbelief.

"Impossible, this is impossible. He promised me that he would help me settle Yue Niang's second half of her life."

"I can't help it. It's your fault for telling her too many things she shouldn't know."

Zhongli Hengyi clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body was extremely tense.

"Save her! Please save her!"

"Why should I save an insignificant person?"

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you anything! As long as you save her!"

"What does the emperor uncle want to say?"

"I'll tell you who gave me the Seven Days Absolute and who helped me contact Ye Gucheng."

"anything else?"

"I...I'll tell you who else in the court is his."

Leng Qing raised an eyebrow, very curious about who this 'he' was and how he could possess such a rare poison as the Seven Days of Death.

"Tell me, as long as your information is important enough, I don't mind helping my uncle raise her for the rest of her life."

"How can I trust you?"

"Believe it or not, it's not the woman I love who's going to die."

Zhongli Hengyi's breath was stuck in his throat and he wanted to curse at the person in front of him.

But when he thought of Yue Niang's fragile body and her gentleness and consideration, the anger in his heart was suppressed.

After Zhongli Hengyi finished explaining everything, he became completely dejected and lifeless.

He knew that he was really going to be in trouble this time.

As long as Yue Niang is fine, he doesn't ask for anything else.

He was unable to have any children in his life, and he sought out famous doctors from several countries but none of them could cure his eunuchhood.

Those women looked down on him openly or secretly, except Yue Niang... Only Yue Niang treated him the same way after knowing his congenital deficiency.

Such a good woman almost died because of him. After all, he had done too many evil things in his life.

Zhongli Hengyi and those officials who were caught committing crimes by Leng Qingyi were dealt with together on September 15th. Those who should be killed were killed, and those who should be exiled were exiled.

There were countless heads hanging in the Caishikou, and the stench of blood lingered for several days.

But it did not cause much commotion, because an even stranger thing was spreading in the capital.

"Have you heard? The prefect of Qingzhou and several of his subordinate county magistrates had their heads chopped off while they were sleeping in the past half month."

"How come I haven't heard about it? My cousin's son is from Qingzhou and has been in the capital doing business these past two days. It's so strange."

"Really? I only heard the gist of what he said, not the whole thing."

"The first person to die in Qingzhou was Hao Yunhui, the magistrate of Qing'an County. His death was silent."

"When the servants called him to get up the next day, their master had lost his head. At first, people just thought it was a revenge killing."

"and then?"

"And then, I don't know what's going on in Qingzhou. Every three to five days, an official gets beheaded. From a small county magistrate to the prefect of Qingzhou, they all get beheaded silently at night."
