Chapter 136 (One Hundred and Thirty Six) Letters
"I saw a man escaping from the palace exit of the passage. He fought with me and was defeated by me. I asked him where the passage led to, and he said that as long as I promised not to stop him, he would come out immediately. He told me what was going on and he told me. I promised not to stop him and not inform others at that time, so he told me that he had dug the passage and it led directly to the abandoned garden in the palace." Ding Datian answered truthfully.
Meng Lian suddenly thought of Chen Woyin's disappearance. He asked Ding Datian when and what day he saw that person escaping from the palace, and asked about the person's general situation. Ding Datian answered accurately, and his answer told everyone present that the person who escaped from the exit was Chen Woyin.
"Chen Woyin! He must have dug it! It turns out that this is how the traitor escaped outside the palace!" King Jing Yin said angrily.
At this time, a guard handed some letters to Meng Lian.
It turned out that before that, Hong Mian, who woke up, confessed some things about Sun Guye, and also confessed about Sun Guye's subordinates who appeared with him in the pharmacy. The subordinate's name was Cui Cong, who knew Sun Guye's secrets and knew more about them than Hong Mian. After Zhaolin got the news, he sent people to arrest Cui Cong and temporarily locked him in a cell for questioning, but Cui Cong refused to say anything.
The reason why Hong Mian suddenly fainted at that time was because he had been living in severe fear and uneasiness for those days. Ever since he and Cui Cong worked for Sun Guye under the threat of Sun Guye, he had been in panic all day long, restless in sleeping and eating, looked haggard, and his body was deteriorating. Although he took a lot of medicine, he still couldn't cure his panic. He had been worried that one day everything he had done would be discovered, so when Prince Zhaolin asked him personally, he immediately fainted with fear. After waking up, his heart was still beating fast and his hands were sweating. Sometimes his mind was blank, sometimes he was in a trance, sometimes he was awake and quiet but his body was trembling. A series of painful reactions and intermittent chaotic thoughts prompted him to be questioned under the painstaking efforts of others. Confessed something. After telling him, although he knew that what was waiting for him would not be good, his physical and mental painful experiences disappeared, and he felt much more comfortable.
Before Ding Datian's trial started that day, Zhaolin reported to King Jingyin that Zhu Liangzhi was dead and that he had sent people to capture Hong Mian and Cui Cong. Meng Lian, Liu Qimei and Yin Ruchen who were present at the time also knew those things. . Knowing that Cui Cong refused to tell the whole story, King Jingyin sent people to continue questioning him. After listening to Zhaolin's narration, King Jingyin already had some inferences in his mind, but he didn't say anything to anyone. He felt that not only Sun Guye's home needed to be searched, but Lu Juefeng's home also needed to be searched, so he secretly sent some people to search the homes of Sun Guye and Lu Juefeng respectively. The person who appeared at this time to hand over the letter was one of the searchers sent by King Jingyin. King Jingyin believed that the search must be completed before Sun Guye and Lu Juefeng were tried. As expected, the searchers acted quickly and quickly searched the homes of Sun Guye and Lu Juefeng. This search did not find anything from Lu Juefeng, but only these letters were found at Sun Guye's home.
When Meng Lian opened the first letter, he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the words on the letter. (End of chapter)
