Chapter 281: Lotus Seeds Are So Sweet(1/2)
Zhang Yi asked Zhang Hong: "Have you collected the evidence against Wang Quan?"
Zhang Hong nodded and said, "I've collected everything I can."
Zhang Yi continued: "Let the elites rest for a day and act at night. Now you go to the city lord's palace with the evidence of your crime."
Zhang Hong agreed, but just when he was about to leave, Zhang Yi suddenly said: "Forget it, I'll go in person."
Zhang Hong has always dealt with family affairs in the Zhang family and has not had much contact with outside parties. For matters like this, it would be more appropriate for Zhang Yi, the young head of the family, to personally handle matters like this.
Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, this time he did not see the City Lord directly, but was arranged to wait in a side hall.
Zhang Yi did not show any unhappiness. He knew that this was the city lord warning him. After all, Zhang Yi had just troubled the city lord yesterday.
After waiting for about an hour, the maid came to the side hall and said to Zhang Yi: "Master Zhang, the master is here."
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Take me there."
The maid bowed slightly and walked in front, leading Zhang Yi to the main hall.
As soon as I walked into the main hall, I saw the city lord sitting on the main seat a little tired.
After the maid brought Zhang Yi, she left.
Zhang Yi walked forward with a smile, saw that the city lord's tea cup was empty, poured him a cup of tea, watched him take a sip, and then asked: "What's wrong with the city lord? Why do you look so tired?"
"
The city lord sighed and said: "Yesterday, my most trusted subordinate was attacked at night. Do you think I can stop worrying?"
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Things have happened, now what I need to think about is how to make up for it."
The city lord glanced at him and asked: "Made up? Can you tell me how to make up for it?"
Zhang Yi pretended to be mysterious and said: "I want to ask the city lord something first."
The city lord raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Yi asked with a smile: "I wonder which stage the city lord wants to stand on after the competition?"
The city lord's eyes changed, but he quickly regained his composure: "What do you think?"
Zhang Yi said calmly: "How can I guess the city lord's thoughts? The most I can do is to let the city lord choose."
The city lord smiled very happily: "You dare to say that, kid."
Zhang Yi also smiled and said: "I am sure."
The city lord's eyes suddenly became sharp, he looked at Zhang Yi and asked: "How many percent?"
Zhang Yi smiled lightly and said: "There is still one month left. In this month, I can improve it to the lowest 60%."
The city lord tried his best to remain calm, but his increasingly rapid breathing still betrayed him.
The city lord stared at Zhang Yi and said: "Although I have a good personal relationship with your father, if you lie to me about this matter, I will also fall out."
Zhang Yi said directly: "If I dare to lie to you, then I won't have the shame to come back."
The city lord said nothing and just kept looking at Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi did not flinch and looked into the eyes of the city lord.
The city lord suddenly laughed: "The royal power belongs to General Zhennan."
Zhang Yi also smiled and said: "I won the championship, and General Zhennan can't say anything."
The city lord was silent for a moment and said: "If it doesn't succeed, I will let you be buried with the royal power."
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry."
Then Zhang Yi put down a stack of paper that was not too thick and left.
The city lord looked at the papers and said with a smile: "What is the use of these evidences?"
Then the city lord said to the door: "Butler, come in."
An old man walked in and said respectfully to the city lord: "Master, what are your orders?"
The city lord said calmly: "Let's sort out the evidence of the royal power and use it later."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then retreated.
The city lord sat on the chair, and after being silent for a while, he said: "If you can't win the championship, I can't protect you."
...
At night, the moon was very round, but it was covered by thick clouds, shrouding the entire Yangcheng in darkness.
The residents of Yangcheng have already rested, and several black figures are shuttled through the city.
In a secret courtyard of Wang Quan, Xiaoxuan knocked on the door.
King Quan's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Xiaoxuan walked in carrying a tray.
Wang Quan smiled and asked: "What's wrong?"
Xiaoxuan said calmly: "This is the lotus seed soup I made for you."
Wang Quan said in surprise: "Why are you so attentive today?"
Xiaoxuan said: "I hope you can let me go see my parents after you finish drinking."
Wang Quan nodded and said, "Okay, bring it."
Xiaoxuan walked up, but just when she was approaching the royal power.
However, Wang Quan suddenly took action and stamped his palm on Xiaoxuan's lower abdomen.
Xiaoxuan was knocked out by a palm, fell heavily to the ground, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xiaoxuan looked at Wang Quan in disbelief. She didn't know when she was exposed.
Wang Quan came to Xiaoxuan with a smile, then pulled up the sleeve of her right arm, looked at the red dots on it and said, "Do you really think I don't know that you used something to hide the palace guard sand before?"
Xiaoxuan glared at Wang Quan fiercely.
Wang Quan didn't care. He picked up the lotus seed soup that he had dropped on the ground. Because the material was very good, the bowl was not broken.
Wang Quan looked at the lotus seed soup that was still inside and said, "Is there some poison in it? The poison that makes you decide to put it must be very toxic."
Wang Quan said, pinching Xiaoxuan's mouth and putting the lotus seed soup in.
Xiaoxuan started to struggle with fear on her face.
Wang Quan pretended to be surprised and said: "How toxic is this? It actually makes you, a person who is determined to die, so scared. If I drink it, I will die in pain."
In the end, Xiaoxuan was force-fed.
But then Xiaoxuan showed a smile. Wang Quan saw it and immediately felt something was wrong.
Suddenly there was a sound of deflation coming from Xiaoxuan's body, and then a fragrance appeared.
Wang Quan immediately covered his mouth and nose.
Wang Quan was indeed a ruthless man. He knew that this fragrance must be very toxic. He turned to look at the lotus seed soup on the ground and inhaled it directly into his mouth regardless of whether it was dirty or not.
Xiaoxuan's smile just now made him think that lotus seed soup was the antidote.
But unexpectedly, just as he drank it, Xiaoxuan burst out laughing crazily.
"Master Wang, the scent of osmanthus actually makes you so scared."
Wang Quan was stunned, and then suddenly woke up.
The smell he just smelled was indeed the fragrance of osmanthus, and the scent of osmanthus is something that purifies the air.
But just now because the two were fighting with each other, Wang Quan didn't tell the difference.
Wang Quan looked at the lotus seed soup on the ground and said, "What's in this lotus seed soup?"
Wang Quan already had some answers in his mind, but he still asked subconsciously.
Xiaoxuan smiled and said: "There is dust poison in it."
Wang Quan's body shook for a while. The falling dust poison was extremely poisonous. No one except the palace had an antidote.
First, the antidote for fallout poison is expensive.
Second, in order for Fallen Poison to be effective, it needs a prerequisite.
That is mixed with dust.
But who would taste something with dust easily?
Wang Quan looked at Xiaoxuan angrily, and then kicked her in the stomach.
Xiaoxuan spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wang Quan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you want your parents to survive?"
Xiaoxuan said miserably: "Do you think I don't know? My parents have been killed by you."
Wang Quan frowned, how did she know?
