Queen of flowers - chapter 184

After reporting Ah Lan’s news to Feng Liaoyu, Su Mingjian went to torture the assassin they caught the previous night. He wanted to ask for a valuable clue before he set off.

Feng Liao sat in the chair, leaning his back, while his feet were being washed by the eunuch. He was looking at the windows of the main room, thinking about what happened the previous night.

The night would be unforgettable throughout his life.

The previous night, Yong Ruo entrusted her suspicions to Feng Liao, Su Mingjian, Xu Taiyi, and others, and set a plan.

Su Mingjian, with his elite guards, hid in the main room and waited. Feng Liao and Yong Ruo went to the East Chamber and laid down, waiting for news.

At midnight, the entrance to the cellar under the carved bed in the main room was opened, and a man crawled out quietly.

The man touched an incense burner resting on the bedside, sprinkled something into the incense burner, and then quietly stuffed the incense burner into his sleeves.

Su Mingjian, who had been waiting for a long time, took the opportunity to stun him with a knife.

The assassin was tied up and gagged.

Su Mingjian searched the assassin’s body, and found that he was wearing a pair of gloves to grasp snakes, and a small bamboo cage was tied around his waist. There was a poisonous snake in the cage.

He inspected the cellar again and found another exit of the cellar, in a ruin behind the yard.

Xu Taiyi found that a lot of sleeping incense was scattered in the incense burner by the assassin …

By that time, the assassin’s assassination plan had been completely spread out in front of Feng Liao and others.

The murder weapon was the poisonous snake.

After the assassin got out of the cellar, he planned to use the sleeping incense to make the people on the bed sleep first, and then set off the poisonous snake which would bite.

According to Xu Taiyi, it was a silver ring snake, a very poisonous snake.

However, after a person was bitten by the poisonous snake, the pain wouldn’t be too obvious. In addition, the effect of sleeping incense would ensure that Feng Liao wouldn’t be awakened by a snake bite.

He wouldn’t be awakened, and would lose the opportunity to ask for help. Feng Liao would die silently in his sleep.

By the time his body got found, the assassin would have already retreated from the tunnel.

If Su Mingjian and others still didn’t find the evidence afterwards, then Feng Liao’s death would be declared as an “accident”. At that time, no matter how angry the Emperor and his house got, there was nothing he could do.

If Su Mingjian and others discovered the evidence afterward, it would be too late, and they would have to bear the crime of “neglect of duty” by themselves.

Ah Lan’s role in the plan was to introduce Feng Liao to the village, to convey messages to the person in the cellar, and to determine the death of Feng Liao. It was very important.

Only after confirming Feng Liao’s death would the master behind the scenes know what to do next.

If unsuccessful, Ah Lan would continue to lurk, and they would follow the next step.

If the assassination had been successful, they must immediately stop the next step and begin the aftercare.

Su Mingjian couldn’t figure out  something at the time, “Why couldn’t the assassin in the cellar confirm the success of the operation himself and then retreat from the tunnel?”

Xu Taiyi was a little amused, “Because a person bitten by this snake won’t die immediately! It usually takes an hour or two.”

Su Mingjian suddenly realized, “If the assassin stayed in the room for so long, the risk would be too high.”

Yong Ruo laughed, “There is another risk. What if Wang Ye temporarily changes his place of residence before going to sleep? This possibility is small, but not impossible. So it was up to Ah Lan to confirm the success of the plan. If the messenger behind the scenes was cautious, he would ask Ah Lan to at least take a look at Wang Ye’s ‘remains’. “

Although the assassination plan and Ah Lan identity were seen through, it was meaningless to arrest her at this time.

Because Yong Ruo didn’t have decisive evidence of her involvement. Ah Lan had sufficient excuses to evade, claiming that she didn’t know the matter.

Feng Liao arrived at Majia Village on his own initiative, and it wasn’t entirely Ah Lan who led him.

As for passing the message, it was even more unfounded.

Even if the assassin who was caught said that Ah Lan was his accomplice, Ah Lan could deny it.

She just played two tunes with a flute. What was the message in that? Obviously it was the assassin who was at fault.

Even if Ah Lan couldn’t bear the torture in the end, and confessed, those people themselves had one more than one female assassin. There was no positive direction for the current situation.

Might as well take the opportunity to release Ah Lan and let her go to find the master behind the scenes.

That way, the trouble may also be resolved, because Ah Lan and the leader of Liu Kou were likely to be of the same group.
