Qi Yao asked Wang Jiansheng to draw a portrait of Pei Wuyan based on her description.

Wang Jiansheng's painting skills are not very good, and the painting is not very similar. But it is coincidental that the portrait is partly like Pei Wuyan, but also partly resembles the head of the Annan Prefecture Escort Bureau.

Wang Jiansheng knew the escort leader, and he said this casually after finishing the painting, but it harmed the escort leader Qu Zhijie.

As soon as Qu Zhijie came back from escorting his escort, he was taken back to the Netherworld Tower by Qi Yao and Su Niang disguised as ghosts.

As soon as she returned to Netherworld Tower, Qi Yao became furious because she discovered that Qu Zhijie was not like Pei Wuyan at all, and she even beat Wang Jiansheng for this.

Later, Wang Jiansheng heard that the infatuated Ye Xuanlang was seeking life and death and wanted to go to hell to find his wife Mu Jiayin; he also saw the sign posted by Ma Lei on the street when he left the stall, saying that he was going to hell for a trip and come back.

Draw a picture of hell.

Wang Jiansheng knew that these two people might go to Netherworld Tower together, so just in case, Wang Jiansheng organized a group of people to watch the fun together.

They hit it off with Ma Lei. Ma Lei just needs to expand his influence, and this group of people can help him expand his influence.

So everything went according to Wang Jiansheng's plan. He prepared dishes made by holy mushrooms and served them to Ma Lei and Ye Xuanlang.

The situation that night was a bit complicated. Wang Jiansheng was outside the tower, and Su Niang was inside the tower. They listened through the stone pillars in the underground mechanism room to which floor Ye Xuanlang and Ma Lei had reached, and judged when to turn on the mechanism.

Qi Yao did not go to the Netherworld Tower that day. Firstly, the words of the blind fortune teller made the people of Annan Prefecture focus on the Netherworld Tower. Secondly, because there were so many people outside the tower, she was worried that the situation inside the tower would change and she would be arrested.

Caught in the act.

Qi Yao's plan is to let Su Niang keep Ye Xuanlang in the tower and let Ma Lei go.

Because they need someone to get out alive and tell the world that the Netherworld Tower is indeed connected to hell, so as to prevent more people from coming in to explore.

As for Ma Lei who got out alive, Qi Yao wouldn't let him live long. He had to pretend to be a ghost with Su Niang to bring him back.

In this way, it can deter other people who want to enter the tower to find out.

But Qi Yao didn't expect that the letter she wrote to the prince before actually attracted Pei Wuyan. Once Pei Wuyan arrived, Qi Yao's plan to kill Ma Lei had to be put on hold.

Ma Lei said that he had painted a picture of hell, which made Qi Yao very concerned. She was worried that Ma Lei's painting would expose her secrets, so she sent Wang Jiansheng to steal the painting.

Wang Jiansheng masked himself and sneaked into Ma Lei's house at night. He rummaged through the cabinets and found no paintings, but he woke up Ma Lei.

There was no other way. We had to look for paintings during the day the next day. Since it was broad daylight, we might as well recruit a few more companions and go in in a grand manner out of curiosity.

It was at that time that Wang Jiansheng met Yu Qingfeng and the others, and was taken directly to the government office by the guards of Dali Temple.

After all, Wang Jiansheng used to be Fan Zhizhou's staff. Going to the government office was no different from returning to his previous home. He said hello to his old acquaintance Song Captou and went home directly.

But the mission was not completed in the end because Ma Lei did not hide the hell map at home.

Wang Jiansheng endured the pain and struggled to explain everything, and signed his name very obediently. His appeal was simple: he wanted to live.

"I am also a victim! Qi Yao is a princess. If I don't listen to her, I will be thrown into an iron cage and tortured. Su Niang is very strong in martial arts. If I am not as good as Qi Yao, Su Niang will propose to kill her.

Qi Yao beat me and scolded me at every turn...

"What can I do? Report to the official? It's not that I haven't thought about it. But I just started talking to Fan Zhizhou, and he hinted to me that Qi Yao is a princess and asked me not to hit an egg against a stone, because he himself would not dare to throw an egg at a stone!

"

Wang Jiansheng cried bitterly. Although his difficulties could not offset the crime he committed for being an accomplice, Yu Qingfeng had to admit that Wang Jiansheng was just an accessory to the crime and could be given a lighter sentence.

Pei Wuyan put Wang Jiansheng's life in the hands of Fan Zhizhou. If Wang Jiansheng died, it would be Fan Zhizhou's responsibility, indicating that Fan Zhizhou was also an accomplice.

When Fan Zhizhou heard this, he swore that Wang Jiansheng would go to the capital alive to testify.

As the sky grew brighter, the four of them took a carriage back to the palace.

"This King Xiaonan is really not that simple. He pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger." Lian Shurong was speechless.

"Every step of Qi Yao is under the control of Zhan Yaoyuan. Whatever Zhan Yaoyuan wants her to discover, he will provide it. Every time, Qi Yao thinks she discovered it by herself." Lin Ming sighed.

"Qi Yao is really evil and stupid. He fell into a trap and became a pawn in the game between Zhan Yaoyuan and the emperor without knowing it." Pei Wuyan shook his head in disgust, "A fellow mother, huh, the prince actually has such a sister.

.”

"Master Pei, the prince intends to bring you and Qi Yao together, so he sent us here. The name is to help Qi Yao solve his problems, but we brought back Qi Yao's body. This..." Lin Ming was worried about the fate of Dali Temple and several of them.

worry.

Pei Wuyan sighed deeply, "I believe His Highness the Crown Prince will still be able to calm down. Besides, he still asked for something from us, so we didn't return in vain and brought back Wen Miaozi for him. I'm afraid.

I'm afraid that the emperor will take action secretly in his anger."

"Even so, I don't regret it. We defeated a big devil and saved the people of Annan Prefecture. As for Zhan Yaoyuan behind the scenes, his good days are over." Yu Qingfeng was full of confidence, and Zhan Yaoyuan's death was approaching.

"What do you mean?" Lian Shurong was curious.

"I calculated with my fingers, Zhan Yaoyuan's life is over, just wait and see, especially on thundery and rainy days."

After all, Zhan Yaoyuan is also a tool man. The role of this villain has now been exhausted, just like Lord Ji in the previous case. It is time for the audience to be happy and receive a box lunch.

Yu Qingfeng only slept for two hours before she hurried to the hospital to visit the injured.

Zhang Xifan reunited with his mother Aunt Shen.

Aunt Shen learned about Zhang Xifan's experience in the past year and a half. She first cried bitterly while holding her lost son, and then punched Zhang Xifan on the back more than a dozen times, blaming him for losing himself because of the holy mushroom and becoming an accomplice of the devil.

.

Zhang Xifan was originally clamoring to go to Wang Jiansheng's house to find the holy mushrooms. When he saw his old and crying mother, he knelt on his knees and never mentioned the holy mushrooms again.

The doctor said that if Zhang Xifan wants to completely recover and be reborn from addiction, it will take a very strong willpower and a long period of time.

In order to make up for it, Fan Zhizhou had already taken people to Wang Jiansheng's house, searched out all the seeds, and burned all the holy mushrooms and seeds in the vegetable field with a fire.

Jiang Hongxi had no tongue and could only express his feelings through writing. He wrote hard to write down Qi Yao's crimes in detail.

Ye Xuanlang and Mu Jiayin clasped their hands. Although they could no longer speak clearly and completely, they looked at each other with firm eyes.

Although Mu Jiayin's appearance has been ruined, in Ye Xuanlang's heart, the fact that his lover is alive, that he and his lover are both alive, and that they can spend the rest of their lives together is the greatest blessing for people like them who have died once.

When Ye Xuanlang's mother learned that her son and daughter-in-law had "resurrected from the dead", she immediately got up from the hospital bed and rushed to the hospital overnight to take care of them. She did not forget to take the time to kneel to the sky and thank God.

Qu Zhijie was the first to recover because of his good health. He had left the hospital at dawn and went home to reunite with his wife and family.

After resting for a while, the four of them decided to set off back to Beijing early tomorrow morning. There were quite a lot of people and things to bring back on this trip. They were Wang Jiansheng and Wen Miaozi, and the things were the bodies of Qi Yao and Su Niang, as well as the costumes.

Ma Lei's head was frozen in a wooden box.

We traveled lightly when we arrived, a seven-day journey. Because the burden on the return trip was so heavy, we had to ask Fan Zhizhou to send someone and spend money to hire a team of escorts to ensure a smooth journey.

Yu Qingfeng estimated that the return journey would take at least ten days.

On the fourth day, the large group of people stayed overnight at the inn, and happened to encounter an official who was heading from Annan Prefecture to the capital, rushing to deliver a message.

This official was Fan Zhizhou's subordinate. He was two days behind their departure and had to change horses and supplies at the post station.

The officials were rushing so fast because they were ordered by Fan Zhizhou to deliver the news to the capital - King Xiaonan was assassinated by an assassin and died in the street. General Wei pursued the assassin and discovered that the masked assassin was actually the only son of General Wei. General Wei let his son go and he himself

He surrendered and was captured, telling Fan Zhizhou that he would take the blame for his son and only wanted to die.

Yu Qingfeng and the four of them were in tears, especially Yu Qingfeng. She guessed that Zhan Yaoyuan would have to receive a box lunch, but she didn't expect that he would die in such a way.

Zhan Yaoyuan unexpectedly died at the hands of the son of his confidant General Wei. But think about it, maybe this is the screenwriter's message: the descendants of traitors do not inherit the sins of their fathers. The hot-blooded young people awaken to resist and kill the traitors of the tribe, which is very satisfying.

Everyone was discussing or celebrating Zhan Yaoyuan's death when an escort came running out of breath to report that the criminal had escaped.

Yu Qingfeng couldn't believe how many people there were, and Pei Wuyan specially brought a third party, the bodyguard, just in case, to prevent Fan Zhizhou's people from doing evil things secretly. Unexpectedly, Wang Jiansheng escaped.

.

"In which direction?" Pei Wuyan asked.

The escort pointed to the north, "I must have climbed over the wall and headed north. The toilet is on the north wall."

With a wink from Pei Wuyan, the four Dali Temple guards headed north.

"The prisoner wants to go to the toilet, and you let him go in alone?" Yu Qingfeng was annoyed. The escort was just not good at it. He was a professional in escorting goods, but an amateur in escorting people.

"If men and women are not intimate, I can't follow them, right?" the escort retorted aggrievedly.

"The one who escaped is Wen Miaozi!" Yu Qingfeng shouted in desperation towards Pei Wuyan, "It might as well be Wang Jiansheng!"

Lin Ming and Lian Shurong also stood up, and Lin Ming suggested: "I will chase him myself."

Although Lian Shurong didn't speak, he should follow suit.

Pei Wuyan did not move, but Yu Qingfeng subconsciously followed him.

"Qingfeng," Pei Wuyan grabbed Yu Qingfeng's hand, "It's dangerous. Lin Ming and Lian Shurong are enough."

Yu Qingfeng frowned and told the truth, "I'm worried, I always feel like something is going to happen."

Upon hearing this, Pei Wuyan immediately stood up and set off with Yu Qingfeng.

Pei Wuyan asked Yu Qingfeng to get on the horse first, and then he got on. The two of them rode a horse and headed north.
Chapter completed!
