The man gasped and watched helplessly as the bloody dagger was pressed against his eyelid.
Just as Shao Qingyuan was about to use force, the man finally shouted. He closed his eyes and shouted, "I’m not an assassin. Soone paid and asked to make things difficult for Mrs. Shao. It’s none of my business."
Shao Qingyuan paused. "Soone paid you?"
"Yes, yes, yes." When the man saw that the dagger had moved away a little, he hurriedly nodded. Snot and tears flowed out. "Soone really paid and asked to find an opportunity to question Mrs. Shao’s identity. It’s best if I start a conflict and make Mrs. Shao the target of public criticism and ruin her reputation. That person also gave an invitation. He even gave fifty taels of silver. I just want to earn so money. I’m really not an assassin..."
How could he have known that it was so difficult to earn 50 taels of silver? That person had clearly told him that there was no problem. It was just a matter of saying a few words, but now, he was clearly going to lose his life.
Shao Qingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Who paid you?"
The man was about to cry again. "I don’t know." Seeing that Shao Qingyuan was approaching with a dagger again, he hurriedly said, "But I recognized that person’s voice. Really, I recognized it. That person was in the hall today. He’s one of the doctors, Doctor Wei, who’s sitting fifth in the third row."
Doctor Wei?
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong looked at each other. Wasn’t he one of the five doctors who had gone to look for Bai Yong with You Li and said that Gu Yundong was not worthy of Shao Qingyuan?
Shao Qingyuan nodded and glanced at the man on the straw pile. "You better be telling the truth. I’ll investigate now. If you lie to , heh..."
The man shuddered violently and hurriedly shook his head.
Shao Qingyuan asked for his na again. After knowing that his na was Zhao Jun, he knocked him out and covered him with a cloth again. This ti, he also gagged him.
After he was done, he stood up and said, "Let’s go find Uncle-Master Wei."
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan left the woodshed. The sky was slowly turning dark.
When they returned to the hall, there were still many people there, but so of them had left.
At the very least, the scholars had left. After all, this courtyard was in the suburbs. They had co in a carriage rented by Marquis Pingnan, but they had to walk back.
Other than so nobles, there were also hundreds of doctors.
The food had already been served in the courtyard, and Yi Zilan was drinking with the others, talking about the things in the capital.
However, after listening for a while, Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong understood sothing.
It seed to be just a casual conversation and bragging, but Yi Zilan actually consciously revealed so developnts in the capital, indirectly explaining the great achievents and actions of the emperor.
Seeing Shao Qingyuan and the others, Yi Zilan hurriedly greeted them.
"Where did the princess and prince go? I’ve been looking for you for a long ti. Today is your big day. How can you be missing during such a celebration?"
When everyone heard Shao Qingyuan addressed as prince, their expressions beca a little strange.
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong were helpless. At this juncture, it seed too abrupt to leave. They could only eat and chat with him.
When they were full, the two of them could finally escape.
Most of the guests who stayed behind were resting in the courtyard tonight. Yi Zilan had also been sent to the guest room early to rest.
