Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 303

Chapter 303: The Secret Behind Yun Niang’s Case (2)
Jian Yi nodded and said, “After we found out that Ye Cheng Xiang caused the missing information, we followed the clues and finally found the key information.”

He paused for a few seconds and said, “Yun Niang’s husband’s younger brother was actually Duan Qinwangfei’s ex-lover. Ye Cheng Xiang killed him, and then Duan Qinwangfei was forced to marry Duan Qinwang. If she refused, they would kill her ex-lover’s family. Forced by the situation, she finally agreed to marry Duan Qinwang.”

Xuan Ruiquan tapped his fingers on the table and fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Where is Yun Niang?”

Jian Yi answered, “Now, Yun Niang and her son are living in one of our safe houses, guarded by our people. Although they cannot go out, they are safe for the time being. From the day Emperor Yong’an asked us to investigate Yun Niang’s case, many assassins were sent to kill her and her son. It seemed that Ye Cheng Xiang really wanted to silence her and her son.”

Xuan Ruiquan thought for a while and said, “Ensure the safety of Yun Niang and her son. Since Ye Cheng Xiang wants to silence them, she must know something important. Expand the scope of the investigation. Yun Niang’s case may be somehow related to Duan Qinwang and Ye Cheng Xiang’s secrets.”

Jian Yi nodded and said, “Yes, Master.”

After dealing with Yun Niang’s case, Xuan Ruiquan asked, “Is there anything you want to report?”

Hearing this, Jian Yi took out a document and showed it to him, “Master, you had previously ordered us to keep an eye on Rui Qinwang. This was discovered when we monitored him.”

Xuan Ruiquan took the document and read it over. After he was done, Xuan Ruiquan’s face darkened. Jian looked at his expression and asked, “Master, have you discovered anything?”

Xuan Ruiquan looked at Jian Yi and said, “Don’t you find it strange that Rui Qinwang has never left his mansion, but he knows many things? Moreover, he always disappears from time to time.”

After hearing this, Jian Yi discovered that seemingly ordinary behaviors were not as simple as they seemed. Seeing his reaction, Xuan Ruiquan asked again, “Did you find out where he was going when he disappeared?”

Jian Yi lowered his head and said, “Master, please punish me.”

Knowing that Jian Yi ignored Rui Qinwang’s disappearance and did not investigate where he was going, Xuan Ruiquan closed the document and said, “Go and investigate. I want to know everything about him before tomorrow morning.”

Jian Yi clasped his fists and said, “This subordinate accepts the orders.”

Xuan Ruiquan continued to work and waved his hand, “Go and do your business.”

Jian Yi nodded, “Yes, Master.”

After Jian Yi closed the door, Xuan Ruiquan looked thoughtfully at the reports and documents in front of him. He frowned, feeling that these seemingly unrelated information seemed to have some strange connection with each other. After a while, he leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Jian Yi returned to his office. When he walked in, he saw Jian Er talking to Jian Si and Jian Liu. Seeing him coming back, Jian Er asked, “Has Master assigned us any new missions?”

Jian Yi nodded, then looked at Jian Si and asked, “How was the interrogation going? Did those people say anything?”

Jian Si handed him a report and said, “Except for Duan Qinwang and the second prince of the Xiong Nu, most of the Xiong Nu soldiers have told everything they know.”

Jian Yi flipped through the report and nodded, “Good. After Lao Er has sorted out the information, report it to Master.”

Jian Er nodded, “Yes, Lao Da.”

Jian Yi looked at Jian Liu and said, “Lao Liu, Master wants us to investigate where Rui Qinwang went after he disappeared from our monitoring.”

“Yes, Lao Da.” Liu Jian said calmly.

Jian Yi turned to look at Jian Er again and said, “Lao Er, Master wants to expand the scope of our investigation of Yun Niang’s case. Master suspects that Yun Niang knows some important things about Ye Cheng Xiang. We must find out what she knows and the reason that made Ye Cheng Xiang want to silence her so much.”

Hearing this, Jian Er smiled, “I already asked Yun Niang about this matter last night.”

“Did you find anything new?” Jian Yi asked.

Jian Er gave him the report he had just shown to Jian Si and Jian Liu. Jian Yi opened the report, and Jian Er said, “You won’t be able to guess what Yun Niang knows. What she told me surprised me a lot.”

Jian Yi was surprised by Jian Er’s words, so he read the report carefully. After he was done, he looked at his brothers in disbelief.

Seeing his reaction, Jian Er pushed a small black wooden box in front of him and motioned for Jian Yi to take a look.

“Take a look at this.”

Jian Yi raised his eyebrows in confusion, but he still opened the black wooden box. When he saw what was in the box, he said in disbelief, “Impossible. So, is what Yun Niang said true?”

Jian Liu nodded, “Yes. Ever since Lao Er told me what Yun Niang said, I have investigated everything.”

Jian Yi picked up the secret imperial edict and read it. When he was done, he put it back in the box and said, “This is crucial evidence. I will report it to Master immediately.”

After saying this, he closed the box and left in a hurry. Soon, he arrived in front of Xuan Ruiquan’s office. He knocked on the door and waited impatiently.

Two seconds later, Xuan Ruiquan’s voice came, “Come in.”

Jian Yi pushed the door open and said, “Master, I think you must see this.”

Seeing him come back, Xuan Ruiquan’s eyes fell on the small black wooden box and asked, “What is that?”

Jian Yi placed the box on the table, opened it, and showed it to Xuan Ruiquan. The moment Xuan Ruiquan saw the yellow imperial edict inside, his eyes flickered.
