Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 204 The little girl lets loose

The minister, Li Yan, has always been a very popular minister in the court for many years. As one of the six thieves, he has always been on the same page with the other members of the six thieves.

Although Tong Guan's death was nominally brutally murdered by gangsters who suddenly broke into the prison, there were still many doubts in everyone's minds.

After the incident, Cai Jing once said: "This matter is not trivial. Nothing like this has ever happened since the founding of the Song Dynasty."

"The Bianliang Prison is guarded day and night by our elite soldiers from the Song Dynasty. Who on earth has such extraordinary power?"

This huge mystery has always been hanging in the hearts of everyone.

Later, until Earl Ying returned safely from outside, everyone learned that this was the work of a group of rebellious officials and traitors with extraordinary abilities.

At this moment, this cloud of fog dissipated in front of Li Yan's eyes.

Li Yan finally understood that it turned out that Tong Guan's death was probably the work of the Holy One.

Today, I only brought two followers with me to this group of jade houses, so it must be a disaster.

Seeing that Liang Hongyu was about to insert the dagger into his heart, he quickly took out a large handful of banknotes from his arms, threw them all on the ground, and said urgently: "Girl, spare my life, I have something to say!"

Liang Hongyu's heart trembled when she saw the large handful of banknotes Li Yan threw on the ground.

Li Yan also saw the hesitation in Liang Hongyu's expression, so without thinking, he quickly threw two bags out of his trouser pockets.

He hurriedly untied it and poured all the gold in the bag in front of Liang Hongyu.

Liang Hongyu looked at the gold all over the ground and was immediately dumbfounded. She was stunned on the spot.

Once this gold was exchanged for silver, it would be impossible to spend it all in ten lifetimes.

With this gold, it is no longer a problem to redeem one's life, open a restaurant, or buy good horses.

Li Yan smirked at Liang Hongyu, and said, "Girl, I always knew that you were a showman rather than a person."

"But then again, even if you sell yourself, how many lifetimes of selling yourself can this money be worth?"

Liang Hongyu took a breath of cold air and didn't know what to do at the moment.

You know, if you collect the gold and don't kill Li Yan, then it will be a serious crime to punish the nine tribes, and the court will not let her go, life or death.

However, even if Li Yan was killed under the order of the imperial court, all he could get was just a few dozen taels of silver.

Whether it is light or heavy, she can naturally carry it clearly.

"Take all this gold. Even a high-ranking official like me is like this. What can you do if you, a common man, can do this?"

Li Yan was so anxious that he wanted Liang Hongyu to let him go.

He thought wholeheartedly that Liang Hongyu could reach an agreement with him on this matter.

He, Li Yan, was not stupid. The reason why the court used this method to execute him was clearly to achieve the goal of not being noticed.

She was tricked into this group of jade houses today, and although her life fell into Liang Hongyu's hands, if things didn't work out for Liang Hongyu, she would only be here at the first level.

Next, several groups of people will come and claim his life.

Therefore, for Li Yan, the best way is to bribe Liang Hongyu and let Liang Hongyu release him, so that he can escape.

Liang Hongyu gradually tightened her grip on the dagger in her hand, her eyes turning cold.

He asked in a deep voice: "Master Li, I accepted your gold, but I still took your life. That is not difficult at all."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan said immediately: "Miss Liang, you have been a singer in Qunyufang for so many years, and you are used to the world. Is it possible that you can't have such a little scheming?"

"Just think about it, if I die, will my descendants and grandchildren in the court be able to let you go?"

As soon as these words came out, Liang Hongyu was shocked.What Li Yan said was very reasonable. Once Li Yan died, as the murderer, she would not be able to clean up the matter.

The facts will definitely be as Li Yan said, Li Yan's descendants will continue to seek her for revenge, and they will not give up until they take her life.

What a smart person Liang Hongyu is?
After hearing what Li Yan said and thinking about it in his mind, he immediately understood.

In the court, and even in Qunyufang, what is everyone's intention?

Let’s not talk about the imperial court for now, let’s just talk about these jade workshops.

Previously, when the imperial court had just handed over the important task of killing Li Yan, they must have said that they would entrust this matter to Liang Hongyu without naming him.

There must be someone else involved in this matter.

That person may be an old bustard in Qunyufang, or he may be a high-ranking official in Qunyufang.

However, none of these are important.

The most important thing is that once Li Yan dies, this person can not only go to the court to ask for merit and reward, but also can clean up the matter in front of Li Yan's descendants.

In fact, this matter was doomed from the beginning. Liang Hongyu was destined to die.

From the moment she bit the bullet and agreed to the old madam, once she succeeded in killing Li Yan, she would definitely be killed by Li Yan's descendants.

If she fails to kill Li Yan, the Madam will definitely call someone over to kill her.

These things are actually easy to figure out.

In this moment, Liang Hongyu simply collapsed.

I really don't know what to do.

"Make up your mind quickly! If it's too late, everything will be over!"

Li Yan said loudly.

To put it bluntly, he was originally a eunuch with an imbalance of yin and yang. When he spoke, his voice broke, which shocked the listeners.

Liang Hongyu trembled with fright, her chin trembled, and said, "Master Li, I listen to you, little lady."

When Liang Hongyu said this, Li Yan's high-hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

Next, Li Yan personally caused an accidental fire in the room, and then he was burned to char by the fire.

For many years, he carried the scattered corpses with him.

This corpse powder poison came all the way from the Western Regions. It is colorless and odorless. When sprinkled on the corpse of the deceased, it will cause the corpse to decay on its own as quickly as possible.

And this scapegoat candidate is very easy to solve.

After all, when he came to Qunyufang this time, he took two attendants with him, let one of them in quietly, and secretly inserted Liang Hongyu's dagger into the person's heart.

First, the corpses were scattered on the man, and then Liang Hongyu was asked to open the secret passage under the bed to help him escape.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Hongyu scurried around the room, screaming: "There's a fire, there's a fire!"

In this way, Li Yan skillfully and seamlessly avoided this life and death disaster.

When everyone in Qunyufang heard Liang Hongyu shouting that there was a fire, they immediately rushed in and started to put out the fire urgently.

The Madam and Liang Hongyu looked at each other secretly.

The old madam nodded, knowing that the body lying on the ground, almost burned to charcoal, was Li Yan's.
