After being reborn, she became the richest man without being a queen

Chapter 181

Sure enough, as Fu Wenguang said, Wu Wen is not a person to be fooled easily.

After Wu Wen approached, his hand was still on his waist, as if he was ready to strike at any time.

Shen Qingling didn't expect to be able to untie the situation in front of her with just a few words, she smiled, turned around and moved lightly with lotus steps, and easily held the woman in her arms.

She locked the woman's hands tightly with one hand, and rested her other hand on her neck. What she held in her palm was the knife that she had kicked away earlier.

"Let go of her!" Wu Wen yelled in shock.

The woman did not struggle blindly, she swallowed her saliva, and persuaded Wu Wen in a low voice, "Husband, you should not resist recklessly, this... this is here to help us."

"Don't be afraid, ma'am, I won't let her hurt you." Beads of sweat dripped from Wu Wen's forehead, and his eyes were extremely nervous.

Just at this moment, the little girl in the house woke up.

With unsteady steps, she came out holding the door frame, and shouted: "Daddy, mother."

"Go back! Go back, niece!" Wu Wen was completely panicked now, and quickly raised his hands, waving at the little girl continuously, "Be obedient, niece is waiting for daddy in the house, and go to the house to look for daddy and mother when they are done with their work." Girl, are you okay?"

The little girl was also obedient, seeing that her father was in such a hurry, she staggered back while holding onto the door frame.

Shen Qingling witnessed all this and was not moved.

"Tell me, how much do you know about eliminating traitors?" Shen Qingling asked.

Wu Wen's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked back with an unnatural expression: "Why are you asking this? Could it be that you are being targeted now? If that's the case, I can't help you, you can do it yourself."

His unnaturalness made Shen Qingling understand even more, he knew for sure.

So Shen Qingling just pressed the dagger on the woman's neck, causing the woman to cry out in pain, Wu Wen surrendered and chose to confess.

"Yes, I know that the cult has been clearing up traitors recently." Wu Wen drooped his brows, his face was full of depression, "But they seemed crazy, killing not only traitors, but also many people who have nothing to do with the cult... ...I'm afraid..."

The bloody methods often implicate the family members.

How is Wu Wen not afraid?
In the recent period, he couldn't sleep well, and he couldn't eat well, and he was always worried about that heart.

"The officials in Huainan Road died because of this?" Shen Qingling continued to ask.

"Yes, and no." Wu Wen breathed out lightly, threw the knife in his hand on the ground with a clang, and then sat down on a chair beside him, "I asked about some criminal and prison affairs on Huainan Road, and it just broke the knife." The elders had no choice but to kill him because of the plans of the elders of the sect."

"what's the plan?"

"The Yellow River broke its embankment."

"Are you lying to me? The breaking of the Yellow River's embankment is a natural disaster, how can it be manipulated by others!" Shen Qingling narrowed her eyes, and the momentum around her suddenly became fierce.

However, Wu Wen looked at Shen Qingling with raised eyes, and said firmly: "Although I don't know what abilities they have, there are many capable people and strangers in the sect. Since they dare to have such a plan, they must have Someone who can do that."

"What else do you know?" Shen Qingling asked.

The woman was terribly frightened right now, she was trembling all over, tears were streaming down her face, she looked like she might faint at any moment.

"You let her go first, we can sit down and discuss in detail." Wu Wen felt sorry for his wife, and begged in a low voice, "If you want to know, I will tell you as much as I can, as long as you don't hurt my wife and daughter."

With his wife and daughter around, Wu Wen didn't dare to act rashly.

Shen Qingling really complied, let go of the woman very generously, walked to the main hall with Wu Wen and sat down.And the woman even brought a pot of hot water over after calming down, and poured tea for Shen Qingling and Wu Wen.

"Husband, don't make mistakes." The woman persuaded Wu Wen before leaving.

Ren Shaochun in the firewood room had already woken up at this moment, Wu Wen's horse hooves came back so loudly, as long as he was not deaf, he would definitely be woken up.

However, after being woken up, Ren Shaochun did not act rashly.

Following the voice in the main hall, he approached quietly, hid in the corner and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two people inside, and realized that the person who spoke to Shen Qingling was Wu Wen.

"If Wu Lushi wants to save his life, the only way to go is to cooperate with me." Shen Qingling held the teacup, blew on the foam, and said calmly.

Wu Wen didn't reply.

After bowing his head and thinking for a long time, Wu Wen turned sideways to serve tea, and said with certainty: "You are not from the church."

"Yes and no, is there a difference?" Shen Qingling shrugged, with a faint smile on her face, "I'm always here to save Wu Lushi's life, right?"

"Why should I believe you?" Wu Wen looked at Shen Qingling coldly.

Shen Qingling just propped her head on the side, and said calmly: "Because you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me, people from Tianri Sect may come to get rid of you at any time, after all, you are the one who knows their plan."

Before Wu Wen could open his mouth, Shen Qingling said again: "Fourteen people died in Huainan Road, except for An Yiwen and Zhao Yi, the others were more or less in charge of the state capital's accounting, Jinliang boats and vehicles. Don't you Speaking of the Yellow River, I couldn't connect them immediately."

The thoughtless sentence that the Yellow River broke its embankment reminded Shen Qingling.

Some state capitals don't have enough personnel, so Hu Cao, Tian Cao and the like are acting on behalf of the same person. Shen Qingling doesn't even need to go back and search, as she already knows the relationship between the victims.

Wu Wen was right, those who were killed were not all traitors in the sect, just like him, he was not a traitor either.

Most of them are people who know or are likely to prevent the Yellow River from breaking its embankment.

Things went around and around, and they actually went back to the Yellow River.

Shen Qingling sighed involuntarily, and said: "Wu Lushi, if the Yellow River breaks its embankment, Henan and Hebei will be a purgatory on earth. Is this what you want to see? Ten thousand steps back, if you can help Me, help us, when the Tianri Sect will be expelled, you, as an official of the court, will be spared the death penalty."

Wu Wen was deeply moved by the four words that the death penalty can be avoided.

But he still looked at Shen Qingling suspiciously, and asked: "You are just a woman, what can you do to save me from the death penalty?"

"So what about women?" Shen Qingling glanced at him sideways, "If you have the ability to face the saint, then it doesn't matter if it's a woman or a man, it will always be the one who can help you escape death."

With that said, she put down the teacup.

Outside the house, Ren Shaochun seemed to understand the meaning of the sound of the teacup dropping to the table, and hurried to the main hall door, and said majesticly: "We are patrolling on behalf of the emperor, so of course we have the right to decide the life and death of your mere recorder."

The hunting tour on behalf of the Son of Heaven was something that Shen Qingling had mentioned to Ren Shaochun last night.

"Yes, we are patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven." Shen Qingling took Xue Yu's token from his sleeve pocket, and raised his hand high.
