Chapter 157: Zhu Wushi’s death? Conquering Chen Yuanyuan

Wu Sangui turned around and stared at Qin Fan.

Although he was indeed persuaded by Qin Fan yesterday and was willing to hand over Yagyu Tajima no Kami to the imperial court for punishment.

But he still had doubts about Qin Fan and others.

Now, he didn’t want to let these people leave.

But he didn’t dare to just kill these people and rebel.

After a long silence, Wu Sangui waved his hand.

“Then I won’t see you off!”

He really didn’t dare to take action against Qin Fan and his group now.

He is not ready yet!

What’s more, his mind was on Chen Yuanyuan at the moment, and he couldn’t care about these people.

After saying that, Wu Sangui took his men to Hong Antong’s residence.

Upon learning that Hong Antong had disappeared, Wu Sangui became furious.

This undoubtedly increased Hong Antong’s suspicion, and he immediately ordered the blockade of southern Shanxi and a city-wide search.

Looking at the Zhennan Palace which was becoming increasingly busy, the real instigator, Qin Fan, had already left.

“How is it going? Have you reported the situation here to Cao Zhengchun?”

On the way, Qin Fan found Lin Pingzhi and asked him.

Last night, he asked Lin Pingzhi to report everything that happened here to Cao Zhengchun.

Once Cao Zhengchun knew this, he would definitely report it to the emperor.

Whether the emperor believes it or not, Zhu Wusi will definitely be suspected.

In this case, that guy only has two options left: either send people to ambush Qin Fan and others on the road.

Or outright rebellion.

Otherwise, when Qin Fan and others return to Beijing, he will be unable to defend himself.

Once Zhu Wusi sent someone over, it would undoubtedly confirm what he had done.

What’s more, with Qin Fan here, even if Zhu Wusi took action himself, he might not be able to kill Yagyu Tajima-no-kami and the others to silence them.

All in all, Zhu Wusi actually only has one way left.

Just as Qin Fan and others were on their way back, they received the news that Zhu Wusi had confessed everything and was sentenced to death.

This made Qin Fan feel a little surprised. That guy didn’t even resist and just accepted everything?
This doesn’t seem to be in line with his character!

Qin Fan had doubts in his heart, but they did not encounter any ambushes along the way.

After everyone returned to the capital, they were summoned by Zhu Houcong.

“Young Master Qin is indeed smart and wise. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to discover Zhu Wusi’s conspiracy!”

In the imperial garden, Zhu Houcong set up a banquet to entertain Qin Fan.

“Yes, brother, if it weren’t for Qin Fan, I wouldn’t be able to come back this time. My uncle actually sent someone to assassinate me!”

Yun Luo on the side quickly added.

“Zhu Wusi is truly a traitor!” Zhu Houcong gritted his teeth in anger when he heard this.

If he hadn’t taken into account the other party’s royal status, he really wanted to execute Zhu Wusi by slow slicing.

“Your Majesty, is Zhu Wusi really dead?”

Qin Fan still couldn’t believe it.

“Of course, I order Eunuch Cao to personally supervise the execution!”

“Please rest assured, my dear Qin. I have personally confirmed that there is no problem!”

Cao Zhengchun’s attitude towards Qin Fan now seems much more relaxed.

This time, Qin Fan deliberately revealed the news to him, which enabled him to achieve great success.

Moreover, he also got rid of Zhu Wushi, the stumbling block. Now Cao Zhengchun has regarded Qin Fan as his own.

“I am a man of the Jianghu, and I am involved in the court. I am terrified and overly cautious. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!”

Qin Fan no longer doubted it after hearing this.

Given Cao Zhengchun’s hostility towards Zhu Wusi, even if that guy was not dead, Cao Zhengchun would have to kill him, and he would not have to worry about the rest.

Anyway, Zhu Wusi has lost his power now and poses no threat to Huashan.

“Young Master Qin is very capable and quick-witted. I hope you can work for the Ming Dynasty!” Zhu Houcong felt a desire for talent.

“I am grateful for the emperor’s kindness. However, if I were to enter the court as the next Jianghu person, I would be hard pressed to convince the public. I am afraid that I would disappoint the emperor!”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houcong shook his head slightly. He knew that it was not easy to recruit a person like Qin Fan.

Such a young grandmaster will definitely have a bright future.

Such people will never enter the court.

After some casual chatting, Qin Fan finally completed his mission.

As for the people of the Yagyu family, it seems that no one cares about them anymore.

Zhu Wusi’s fate was already decided, they were just pawns, and the royal family only gave Wu Sangui some rewards as a token of consolation.

The matter seemed to be resolved just like that.

As soon as he returned to the inn, Qin Fan received another good news: Hong Antong was killed.

Wu Sangui’s troops besieged the city and Hong Antong was killed in the battle.

Just as he had planned.

In the inn room, looking at the brand new environment around her, Chen Yuanyuan was still a little bit unbelieving.

She silently opened the window and looked at the bustling street outside, and was completely stunned.

She had forgotten how long it had been since she had seen such a lively atmosphere.

In the past, she was like a bird in a cage, trapped in the palace.

And now, she is finally free.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the blue sky and was speechless for a long time.

The sudden freedom made her lose her way.

She doesn’t know where to go?

Her home is no longer there.

Although she is out of the cage now, she has nowhere to settle down in this big world.

“what happened?”

Qin Fan noticed Chen Yuanyuan’s lonely look and asked softly.

“Suddenly, I feel a little uncomfortable!”

Chen Yuanyuan turned around, walked back to the room and sat down.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, she couldn’t help but recall the previous scene. His snow-white cheeks were tinged with a blush.

“I’m going to leave here in a few days. Where are you going to go next?”

Qin Fan was still somewhat worried about Chen Yuanyuan. Sometimes being good-looking can also be a mistake.

Especially someone like Chen Yuanyuan.

What’s more, she was powerless and it would be difficult for her to survive in this world alone.

Although Qin Fan wanted to keep her, he didn’t know how to start.

To be honest, Qin Fan felt a little timid when facing such a beauty.

Chen Yuanyuan shook her head and said softly, “My family is gone, and I don’t know where to go!”

She glanced at Qin Fan secretly, feeling a little hesitant.

She was very clear about her current situation. Without Qin Fan, she might not be able to leave the capital. However, she knew that she was a useless person and following Qin Fan would only be a burden to him.

She bit her lip and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind and knelt on the ground.

“Mr. Qin saved me from the sea of ​​suffering. I have no way of repaying you for your kindness. I am willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life!”

Chen Yuanyuan knew that the only thing she could offer was this broken body.

If she wants to survive in this world, she can only choose to rely on others.

But compared to Wu Sangui, she would rather follow Qin Fan.

“You don’t have to do this. If you don’t mind, I can take you to Huashan. In the future, you will have a place to stay!”

Qin Fan was already overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained expressionless. He reached out and helped Chen Yuanyuan up.

When their eyes met, the previous scene reappeared in Qin Fan’s mind.

Which man can resist such a beauty?
