After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 195

(I'm currently revising the previous chapters, so sometimes I see previously posted content in the back. That's all the expanded plots from the front, and the rest has been moved to the back. Don't read the chapters with two-character and number titles yet, otherwise there will be duplication, errors, or disconnection between the previous and the next content. Wait a few more days and finish revising it.)

Xu Su must be holding important clues, otherwise they would not have killed him so quickly to silence him.

The clues to the Xu family ended here.

In the Salt Voucher Case, it is certain that Ji Kang is related to the Xu family.

What she was unsure about was his relationship with Wen Chengxuan.

Ji Kang is experienced and smooth, and no flaws can be found in him.

Wen Chengxuan is a loophole. If we can find out a little bit about him, we can use it to infer the range of candidates for the master behind Ji Kang.

The next day, Yuan Qing obtained Zhong Xiao's permission to interrogate Ji Kang for the second time.

This time Chen Xingwei did not follow him. He still remembered what happened last time and was so angry that he refused to come again no matter what.

Yuan Qing also did not make any record this time. He did the same thing as last time and only asked the Dragon Scale Guards to supervise.

Ji Kang still refused to explain and spoke incoherently.

Knowing that he couldn't get any useful information from him, Yuan Qing didn't waste any more time and just went through the process and left.

When it comes to understanding and controlling people's hearts, she knows very well that she is not as good as Ji Kang.

So she did not confront him directly, but made up her mind to listen more, do less, and talk less, so as to avoid falling into his trap without knowing it and being tricked by him.

The second scene in the teahouse was performed as scheduled.

The second part has more content and takes a longer time, so Yuan Qing divides it into two parts, leaving an hour in between for rest and eating.

There was a slight change this time. The screen was not removed, only the two musicians were removed. The storyteller moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and the apprentice stayed behind the screen as usual to dub and operate the mechanism at the appropriate time.

The previous opening was just to attract more people to watch.

The effect of the previous scene has been achieved, so the second scene should be simple and vivid, and the plot is the main focus. If it is too fancy, it will distract from the main focus.

The teahouse was already full, and the owner didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so he ordered people to renovate the yard overnight, removing all the tables and chairs and placing rows of benches next to each other.

The area under the walls on both sides was enclosed and covered with a wooden roof, making it an excellent viewing spot second only to the private rooms on the second and third floors.

This way, more guests can be accommodated.

Yuan Qing and Wei Lin were still in the same place.

Mu Xiaoxiao finally had some free time, and when she heard that there was some good show in Beijing, she clamored to go along.

With no place to vent his anger, he could only kick the person kneeling next to him.

The attendant was so frightened that he couldn't even stand steadily. He lay on the ground and his voice trembled violently, "Your Highness, calm down. It's not time to resort to extreme measures yet."

His words directly hit Wen Chengxuan's throat, and he was kicked by Wen Chengxuan all of a sudden, with his limbs falling upside down. He didn't even dare to cry out in pain, and quickly got up and knelt down again.

"I said the wrong thing. Your Majesty, please don't get too angry, or I won't be able to explain myself to you when the Fourth Master comes back."

He was indeed left by Wen Chenghua to Wen Chengxuan, but at first he was just asked to follow his sixth brother and serve him, with no other meaning.

Wen Chengxuan was so angry at the moment that he even forgot about his fourth brother's kindness in the past. He immediately leaned over and pulled the follower up by the collar, angrily saying, "How dare a servant like you challenge me? Don't say you are my fourth brother's man. Even if you are someone in the palace, I will kill you without hesitation!"

"Someone come!" He raised his head and called out the secret guards, "Take him away and kill him!"

"Your Highness, please spare my life!" The followers kowtowed repeatedly and dared not say anything more.
