Chapter 111 Seeing Her Building Collapse
If anyone else had said such arrogant words, they would have been slashed on the face by the Jinyiwei and their thoughts would have been shattered. But it was different for Zhao Fangyu.
The power behind Zhao Fangyu is too complicated. The Jinyiwei is generally divided into hereditary and external ones. Who doesn't have a family and a career? Who would make things difficult for a female official with a strong family background who was obviously imprisoned wrongly just to curry favor with his boss's boss?
How do you know that she won’t go out one day?
Taking sides is the business of the big guys, and they are just the minions under them.
Jiang Qianchi looked at Zhao Fangyu for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "With such great power behind you, doesn't it mean that your Zhao family is plotting something bad?"
"Your Zhao family is plotting for imperial power!"
Zhao Fangyu took off the pearl hairpin on her head and pointed it at her neck, "Is the Zhao family plotting something bad?"
"Master Zhenfusi, do you still want to say that the Zhao family colluded with the noble families, colluded with the concubines, murdered the Daliang literary world, destroyed the will of the literati, and intended to seize the throne?"
Zhao Fangyu told Jiang Qianchi all the charges he could put on himself. Jiang Qianchi narrowed his eyes, and the two of them confronted each other in silence.
Jiang Qianchi has killed many people, and his aura can stop children from crying at night.
But Zhao Fangyu was not an ordinary woman.
"The Shangyi Bureau judged that I failed to supervise properly, and the eldest prince said that I was interested in the literary world of Daliang. As soon as the lord entered the palace, he wanted to arrange my marriage with Lord Pei. Did he also want to accuse this minor official of having an affair with the Jinyiwei?"
Zhao Fangyu coldly revealed all of Jiang Qianchi's thoughts, and the disdain on his face deeply hurt Jiang Qianchi.
"If you are really on good terms with Master Pei's family, why would you throw dirty water on Master Pei and the minor official like this? Aren't you afraid that Master Pei's father will die with regrets in heaven?"
Zhao Fangyu seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and looked at Jiang Qianchi meaningfully and said, "That's right, when I was at home, I heard my father say that Lord Pei's father was your majesty's confidant. Now that Lord Pei's father is dead, your majesty should be happy. Otherwise, why would you kill him so quickly?"
"You have framed me and Lord Pei. This has enabled you to fulfill the eldest prince's request, make merit for him, and completely stand on his side. You have also eliminated dissidents and cleaned up the troops left behind by Lord Pei. From now on, won't you be the one who has the final say in the Southern Pacification Division?"
Someone in the crowd had figured it out. The subtle gazes of the people around him made Jiang Qianchi's face tense for a moment. But he was an old fox after all: "I just saw that Pei Yan had never been close to any girls since he was a child, and he ran around for you, so I thought of being a matchmaker. Since you don't want to, just don't marry."
Zhao Fangyu did not put down her hairpin, and her eyes were still calm. "The Sutra Library was burned down three nights ago, and Lord Pei left on the morning of three days ago at the earliest."
"Could it be that Lord Pei knew what had happened to me before the Sutra Library caught fire, and rushed back to the capital day and night? He was traveling day and night for himself, what does it have to do with me?"
"Or do you think that a girl like me who has been raised in seclusion in the inner chamber will lose her mind if frightened at any time, and will just do whatever you say, and you can dump all the dirty water and filth on me?"
"I should be thankful that I have such a family background, otherwise I would not have survived to be imprisoned, and the eldest prince would have killed me with just a few words."
"I said I was targeting the Daliang literary world. I don't believe that everyone in the world can't see Zhang Yingying's weirdness. It's just that everyone has their own agenda and doesn't want to expose it. You want to worship her as a god, but you should also worry that she will fall from her high position and her virtue will not match her position. Killing me, don't you think that so many women from aristocratic families can't see her inferiority and ignorance?"
Zhao Fangyu spoke one sentence after another like a string of cannonballs. It was probably the first time that Jiang Qianchi had seen such an eloquent woman. He looked at Zhao Fangyu, sneered, and called her an ignorant child.
Zhao Fangyu stared at Jiang Qianchi, as if he had suddenly found Jiang Qianchi's Achilles' heel, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"If I die, it means that the Southern Pacification Office failed to take good care of me. Your Excellency may wish to see whether the Longxi Li family will make things easier for you or for Master Pei."
"I have no personal feelings towards him, but the Longxi Li family's death cannot be in vain. If you kill my people, don't think you can get away with it."
The Southern Pacification Division is in charge of intelligence inspection. Pei Yan had such a miserable life in Longxi before. It must be that something went wrong in the hideout in Longxi, and there were enemies all around. The situation was unclear and very critical, otherwise Pei Yan would not have borrowed money from her.
This unknown person wanted to trick her into saying that she and Pei Yan were in love, so that he could then openly say that Pei Yan had neglected his duties and had selfish motives towards the prisoner, and naturally squeeze Pei Yan out of the Southern Pacification Division.
It will take time to rebuild the hideout in Longxi.
The attitude of the Longxi Li family is the main reason why the Jinyiwei's hideout can be run smoothly.
Once Zhao Fangyu died in the imperial prison, the Li family of Longxi would have a legitimate reason to embarrass the Jinyiwei. If the incident was brought to the emperor, and a few old men cried, in most cases it would be the Jinyiwei who would suffer in the end.
Jiang Qianchi snorted coldly and left with his men.
After a long time, Zhao Fangyu put down the hairpin and tied her hair into a bun again.
She was imprisoned unjustly, and now that the day of her death is approaching, it is time for her cousin to deliver the letters for her.
There will always be a day when she can get out safely.
In the next few days, those who came to deliver food were not the Pei brothers. After Zhao Fangyu and others left, he carefully tested the poison with a silver needle, picked out the ones that were not easy to be poisoned, and ate a few bites, barely surviving starvation.
It was dark in the cell and one could not tell the difference between day and night, but three meals a day were delivered on time, so one could still count the days.
On the fifth day after Jiang Qianchi left, Lan Ye and female official Yang went to the imperial prison to pick up Zhao Fangjin.
The moment he came out of the imperial prison, Zhao Fangyu was so blinded by the sunlight that he couldn't open his eyes.
Lan Ye carefully took out a veil and put it on her, then led her to walk slowly.
"Don't worry, young lady. Now that the truth has been revealed, just follow us back to Yanyun Palace."
After staying in a dark place for a long time, I was very uncomfortable seeing the sunlight. I couldn't stop blinking, and tears slowly flowed out.
"These days, Lord Pei of the Southern Pacification Office has done something big."
"I don't know when Miss Zhang was possessed by an evil spirit. Under the guidance of the evil spirit, she wrote many rare and strange poems, bewitching our Daliang scholars and coveting Daliang's literary heritage. Now the evidence is conclusive, and she has been imprisoned."
Lan Ye's voice was clearly normal, but it sounded deafening to Zhao Fangyu's ears.
She tilted her head to look at Lan Ye. Gradually, Lan Ye's figure seemed to fade from her sight. What she was thinking about was the rumor about the time-traveling girl that Zhao Fangjin had mentioned as a joke in the carriage.
For a moment, the long-buried feeling of disharmony in my heart finally found its resolution.
This is not the first time that a time-traveling woman has appeared in Daliang. With so many poems of different styles, and every sentence being so convoluted, how could the royal family not notice anything unusual?
Zhang Yingying was kept in seclusion for the past ten years. Her family members are the ones who know her best. How could they not notice anything?
Her temperament changed drastically, and her family allowed her to enter the palace and do evil. How could they believe her words of bringing honor to the family?
Pig farming...
Zhang Yingying, no, or rather, a time-traveling girl, is treated like a pig or a dog by the entire Daliang people.
There is no trick, a few men praise her and she becomes intoxicated and loses her guard, letting people do whatever they want...
When pigs are raised, they are fattened and then slaughtered to entertain guests. The bones, flesh, and blood are then discarded when the owner realizes that they have been sucked dry and have no value at all.
Zhao Fangyu felt cold all over. He saw Zhang Yingying building a tall building, saw her entertaining guests, and saw her building collapse and end up in pieces.
An indescribable chill gradually rose from the soles of his feet, bit by bit, penetrating into his bones. Although the sun was very high and the sun was shining very warmly on his body, Zhao Fangyu could not help but shivering slightly.
She is so cold...
How come all of a sudden, the whole world seemed to have turned into a man-eating beast?
Zhao Fangyu walked step by step without being careful and kicked her toe. The excruciating pain made her tears flow uncontrollably.
But I can’t tell whether these tears are more out of pain or more out of sorrow.
What happened to Zhang Yingying, the arrogant and unruly womanizer before?
The Southern Pacification Office went to investigate, and I'm afraid they have found out everything that happened to the Zhang family's ancestors for several generations.
Zhang Yingying did not pretend after traveling through time, she just thought this time travel was a game...
I'm afraid she is currently in a cell in the Imperial Prison, being strictly interrogated.
Blood, rotten flesh, instruments of torture that could not be cleaned of blood, and the painful moans heard day and night...
After returning to Yanyun Palace, Zhao Fangyu silently immersed himself in the hot soup. Only when he was wrapped in the hot water did he regain a sense of security.
She told herself over and over again in her heart that it didn’t matter, that was Zhang Yingying, not her.
Her caution over the years saved her life from the Jinyiwei and even the entire Daliang.
She won't make the same mistakes again, she will just be herself.
