That night, Li Yan and his family mandarin went to visit the prison. He was holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and his appearance and demeanour were so relaxed that it was like he was visiting some old friends. The soldiers guarding the prison that day, as soon as they saw Li Yan, quickly invited him inside. Looking at their appearance, it is enough to know what Li Nghiem's status is. The old man stepped in calmly, eyes darting around.
"Where is Governor He being detained?"
"Lord prime minister, they are being held in a special cell. The head princess has orders, if there is no duty, no one can enter."
"The head princess thinks that is also good. Those people, if they let it go, how can they show their prestige in public? But anyway, those are all old mandarins, we've known them for a long time. If you don't mind, can you let me visit them one last time, as a matter of morality? If the head princess asks, I will take the responsibility for you two."
The guard shyly looked at Li Yan, then thought of Man Tianyun's instructions. But in the end, they still agreed to let Li Yan step inside. After all, he is also the prime minister of Tian Du, and his status cannot be underestimated. Moreover, the prime minister himself said that he would take responsibility and that they could also relax. Therefore, the new guard led Li Yan and the old housekeeper of the prime minister's residence to go deep inside. The deeper inside the prison, the darker, wet and cold, Li Yan couldn't help but pull his fur coat over his body. The musty, musty smell rises up, really making people disgusted.
The cell of Governor He and the others was deep inside, it could be said that it was the most humid place. The guard led Li Nghiem inside, but he couldn't help but grimace. The head princess threw them here, and I can really understand why. They made Man Tianyun angry, this is their price. After the guard opened the prison door, he left, his appearance was very fast as if he was trying to escape from this place.
"Go fast too."
Li Yan looked at the guard and sneered. The old man himself stood here for a while, feeling a little disgusted. Governor He and the others, seeing the prime minister, were like seeing a lifebuoy. They quickly stood up, their clothes shabby and their bodies so dirty that Li Yan had to step back to avoid them. He is afraid of dirt.
"Lord Prime Minister, you cannot see that death cannot be saved. Obviously, you want us to do things like that. You want the relationship between the emperor and the princess to break, and we have already helped you. Why can't you see that death doesn't save you?"
Governor He groaned. Yes, he is groaning. In this cold and filthy dungeon, it was actually tiring him out. Apparently, everything in the South was done because the prime minister asked them to do so. But when it all came to light, the ones who were to blame were them, the anonymous little pawns, just chess pieces for others. Governor He shouted angrily, but there was nothing he could do. The person standing in front of him right now, was the prime minister of Tian Du, the same person who had given them the death penalty. Now that they regret it, it's too late for them to regret it.
"The head princess has tracked down what you are doing, what can I do to help? You guys are clumsy and don't know how to wipe your mouth, so how can I help you if you ask me for help? Right now, I can only help you die cleanly."
Li Yan's voice clearly showed pain, if it wasn't for someone who had known him for a long time, perhaps just hearing his voice would be heartbreaking. Governor He's people heard that, but they just kept silent. Now, they really can't get out of here anymore.
"I will try to help your family escape, without suffering. But your lives I cannot save. The one who wants you dead is the head princess, not me. Cai Fen, bring the wine in here."
Cai Fen is the old butler of the prime minister's residence. He went inside with a small bamboo basket, inside was a pot of hot wine, along with a few small glasses and some simple dishes. Governor He looked at the bamboo basket, knowing that his number was exhausted. He sat up straight, and with his friends, they picked up some food and poured each other a cup of warm wine. Hot wine ran down their throats, so spicy that they had to cry. By the time Li Yan stepped out of the prison, Governor He and the others had already stopped breathing.
"Dead?"
Man Tianyun lowered the book in her hand, her phoenix eyes flickered with suspicion, but she quickly recovered her emotions.
"Yes, according to the prison guard, I thought I would visit them for the last time. By the time Li Yan left there, they all vomited blood and died."
Lien Tam stood beside Man Tianyun to grind ink and talk with her. Anyway, it was already late at night, and the eldest princess was still sitting in front of the ink, reading boring things. Lien Tam is a close servant, and she also wants to stay and talk with her for a while to reduce boredom.
"So we can't ask any more questions. The prime minister did it quickly too."
Man Tianyun closed the book, put the book on the manuscript, and leaned back. Originally, she wanted to gather some information through Governor He and others, but she couldn't. It's also a pity, but she is more certain that the story of the relief treasury has Li Yan's hand in it. Otherwise, Governor He and the others would not dare to swallow the people's relief money for so long. It's just that, before he could do anything, the old man Li Yan was one step faster, killing people to kill his mouth.
"It's already late, you should go back to your room and rest."
After Lien Tam left, Man Tianyun stood up. She used her hand to extinguish the flickering candle in the room, her heart full of confidence. The matter of the treasury was only a small matter, but she soon suspected that Li Yan wanted to take the emperor's position from Man Hengren. Hengren was still young, he still didn't know that Li Yan was an old fox, much less how to deal with people like him. Man Hengren was left with only her sister after her father and mother died. If Man Tianyun occurs now, she is afraid that no one will be able to assist Man Hengren in strengthening his current position.
Man Tianyun propped her chin on her chin, her slender fingers tapping into regular rhythms on the wooden table. Really a headache! She rubbed her aching temples. Whether something will happen in the future or not, really only God knows. She could only be on guard, she could not have foreseen things. But, there is one thing that Man Tianyun is sure of, that is, she cannot continue to let Li Yan threaten the Man family's beautiful country. Only, there was nothing she could do now. She has no choice but to wait.
