Chapter 98
"Your Majesty!" Wang Lushan shouted, "I am wronged!"

Bo Yangui paused and straightened his back.

"Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused. I am definitely not a remnant of the Yan Kingdom. Please look into it clearly!" Wang Lushan's face was pale and his words were sincere, as if he was not lying.

Even Jingshan almost believed that Wang Lushan was unjustly accused.

"Do you know the origin of that jade pendant?" Bo Yangui said expressionlessly.

Wang Lushan seemed to know nothing and just stared at Bo Yangui blankly.

"Where did this thing come from?" Bo Yangui turned sideways and looked at him coldly.

Wang Lushan pursed his lips and said nothing, obviously not wanting to say anything.

The air was stagnant and the room was dead silent.

"I know I know!"

Geng Zhong suddenly broke out. He said he was breaking in, but in fact he wanted to get rid of his crime and make meritorious service. Jingshan told him not to stop him.

The more intense the conflict, the better.

Only by facing each other tit for tat can we expose each other's shortcomings.

"It's Lin Zhaonan, Lin Zhaonan gave it to me." Geng Zhong knelt on the ground and couldn't wait to remove it. "He mentioned it to me before, saying that this jade pendant is of excellent quality and is a top-notch item that is rarely available."

Wang Lushan was anxious, "Shut up!"

But now, it was too late to shut up Geng Zhong, because as soon as the words Lin Zhaonan came out, not only Yan Wan, but also Bo Yangui, who had always been calm and self-possessed, changed his expression.

"It's him again!" Yan Wan sneered.

Geng Zhong said hurriedly, "Lin Zhaonan said that these are a pair of mandarin duck pendants. They are fine mutton-fat white jade and are unparalleled in the world, but they fell into his hands for some reason. Wang Lushan became greedy at that time, and this I just got one from Lin Zhaonan, and it hangs on my waist every day!"

"Shut up!" Wang Lushan wanted to pounce on him, but was restrained on the spot. No matter how hard he struggled, he could only open his eyes and stare at Geng Zhong resentfully, "Shut up, shut up!"

Jingshan sneered, "It's too late to shut up now, you'd better stay calm and avoid suffering! My Lord County Magistrate, please make it clear what you need to say, so that you can make up for your mistakes, otherwise you will really become someone else." Yes, scapegoat!"

"Yes, yes, I will definitely give up my merits." Geng Zhong kowtowed repeatedly, "When Lin Zhaonan came, I felt a little strange. It seemed that from the beginning, I knew the magistrate very well, like an old acquaintance. !”

Hearing this, Yan Wan frowned.

"Later, the prefect followed Lin Zhaonan's advice, and I noticed something was wrong. I also asked about it, but the prefect Wang never told the truth, so I asked my wife privately." Geng Zhong said this with a lump in his throat. She was trembling a little, "Madam said... the prefect Wang and she are not cousins."

After the sound fell, Yan Wan stiffened slightly.

This means that the prefect Wang in front of him might, maybe, really... be a remnant of Dayan?

"Madam said that he was picked up and raised by his master when he was young. As for where he came from, we don't know." At the end of the sentence, Geng Zhong shrank subconsciously, which showed that he was really afraid of Wang Lushan.

Jingshan hummed, "Master Wang, do you have anything else to say now?"

"Just because I am not a biological child of the master's family, do you think I am a remnant of the Yan Kingdom?" Wang Lushan sneered, "This is too funny! Where is the evidence? Your Majesty, you can think that the subordinates are accomplices with them, but you can't put such a big deal into question. The charge is placed on the lower official’s head.”

Having said this, Wang Lushan gritted his teeth and glared at Geng Zhong, "You idiot, if I am accused of being a traitor and a traitor, how can you run away once the nine tribes are implicated? Don't forget, you are also among the nine tribes!"

Geng Zhong: "..."

"Your Majesty!" Wang Lushan was still struggling. "Even if Xianguan had contact with the bandits, he was just talking nonsense and there was no evidence. How could he be convicted? Xianguan refused to accept it!" Yan Wan was a little angry, "What do you do? Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing so many bad things?"

"I, Wang Lushan, am the prefect of Bazhou. Even if the regent wants to kill me, the evidence of guilt is clear. Otherwise, your reputation for killing local officials indiscriminately will be known to the world." Wang Lushan was already broken.

Jingshan Lengjian unsheathed, "How dare you threaten the Lord!"

"Hmph!" Bo Yangui sneered, "Okay, I will give you the evidence."

Wang Lushan looked straight at Bo Yangui's leaving figure. He was picked up like a little chicken and tied to a wooden frame. "Then, I'm waiting for you!"

After walking out of the execution room door, Jingshan couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"You've already reached this point, and you still refuse to admit your guilt. It's really ridiculous."

Yan Wan thought for a while, "I always feel that it's not that he refuses to plead guilty, but that he is delaying!"

Admittedly, Bo Yangui thought so too.

"The longer we stay here, the greater the possibility of Lin Zhaonan escaping. Didn't I say before that there are traces to follow in the direction of Lizhou?" Yan Wan rubbed her chin and thought, "If we really went to Lizhou... "

Jingshan was puzzled, "What does Mrs. Wan mean by this?"

"You're saying that there is a disaster in Lizhou now, and they are going to incite people's hearts. Then they will use Lizhou as a basis to expand to the surrounding areas, and then gradually encroach and engulf them, so that they will threaten the imperial court?"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "I don't think as much as you think, but I think the people who have no food to eat must be resentful. If someone deliberately takes advantage of it, wouldn't it be unfair?"

"If you take advantage of people's hearts, you really deserve to die!" Jingshan looked solemn.

This is really not impossible, after all, extremely vicious people can do anything.

"Then should we go to Lizhou as soon as possible? After all, no one can trust this matter." Yan Wan actually wanted to catch Lin Zhaonan for another reason.

She wanted to know, did Lin Zhaonan really go back for Bo Yan, or did he have some connection with her?
Yan Wan had forgotten many things, and she had no past, so she was wondering if she could use Lin Zhaonan's body to retrieve her lost memories?

This memory may be related to the Yan State. After all, they mentioned the Yan State's mandarin duck pendant.

Secondly, if it is really related to the Yan Kingdom, then she must take Doudou away from the Regent's Palace, otherwise she will fall into the hands of the court and die without knowing it.

This matter must be investigated clearly.

She had to check it out herself, and she couldn't just pretend to be someone else's, otherwise her life would be at risk.

"You go back to Beijing..."

"I do not!"

Before Bo Yangui could speak, Yan Wan had already interrupted him, "This happened because of me. How can I feel at ease if I don't get to the bottom of it? It's okay if I have to deal with it by myself. Doudou is still young. If I am implicated, even if I die ten thousand times it will not be enough."

"That's it!" She mentioned the child, and he knew there was no room for change.

Children are a mother’s bottom line.

This is an ironclad fact, and it will not change even if the sky falls.

"Your Majesty!" He Yuan went non-stop and returned non-stop. When he entered the door, he was in a hurry, with a clear smile on his lips, "As your Majesty expected, we really got a big harvest!"
