Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 554: Means

Li Hong Yuan just met face to face with this second madam of Changping Marquis. After emotionlessly staring at her momentarily, he just directly left, not saying a single word. From this Changping Marchioness’s situation, he can just tell, prior to his arrival, the people below him have yet to interrogate her. It was obvious, the living Enma originally planned on personally questioning, but after meeting her, he changed his mind, “Try interrogating, if able to get an answer, then just ask, if not, then just directly take care of.”

It was obvious, this kind of woman, Li Hong Yuan was very clear, either they will very bluntly have everything spilled, or won’t say anything at all, no matter what methods you use.

Weak women needed to adhere to men in order to survive, but some women were more firm and determined than men, and even more ruthless and heartless, similarly able to have men played in their palm, climbing up by stepping on men.

This kind of woman can appear as such on the surface, but also can be hidden deeply.

It was obvious, Li Hong Yuan had Changping Marchioness categorized as this type.

Changping Marchioness, because on the surface was just a puppet of the rear court, and because of ‘illness’, didn’t go out all year round, adopting a buddhist lifestyle, having stayed in Changping Marquis Manor for ten to twenty years, speaking of which, she really had never seen Li Hong Yuan before. At least, she had never met him up close before. Even so, upon meeting him, she still immediately made out his identity. One of the reasons was that as the ringleader of the spies, she actually grasped too many things that others didn’t know about, and secondly, the living Enma was very recognizable.

Changping Marchioness’s eyes momentarily flashed with astonishment, but seemingly in an instant, she just accepted this reality, even lightly sighing with a smile. That feeling was like as if she didn’t feel she’d lost wrongly.

Then again, when she’d started infiltrating Qi Yuan’s capital, Li Hong Yuan was just a toddler. According to the time, he hadn’t even had his rebirth. Under the premise of not knowing there’s this many spies in the capital, he similarly was able to soundlessly expand his power, avoiding his own people, and also avoiding those eyes.

All say the involved are not as clear as the onlooker. The people by Li Hong Yuan’s side, because they were accustomed to his temper, in a certain sense, not suspecting anything was very normal. But, as a spy, with even quite a few people under one’s hand, monitoring the entire capital, yet still wasn’t able to be ‘clear’, it was more than enough to prove the living Enma’s abilities. That’s why, ending up as such, she didn’t have any denial or resentment, able to accept very well.

However, from here, one can probably just tell the difference between this Changping Marchioness and Wei-shi. She was a spy, but the way she handles things was calm and easy-going, just like eating and drinking everyday. Regardless whether it’s failing or succeeding, or even when punishing the people below, she was still this calm. She and Wei-shi came from the same family background. Wei-shi was able to sleep around, yet she still maintain a virgin body. Speaking of which, based on her abilities, to have an affair behind Changping Marquis’s back, it truly was too simple, but she didn’t do this, and she didn’t have any particular fetishes either, appearing to have a very good state of mind.

Truthfully speaking, to be able to reach this step, it really was a bit scary.

This probably was also why after obtaining this information, Li Hong Yuan wanted to personally interrogate. Just, after meeting, it seemingly still exceeded his anticipation, thus he resolutely gave up.

Changping Marchioness stared in the direction Li Hong Yuan left in for a while, “Sure enough, there’s talented people born generation after generation.” She softly sighed, but shortly after, smiled again, “However, until the last piece falls into place, who can be sure who will win and who will lose? Perhaps, at a critical moment, one will just fall at the hands of someone inconspicuous, or in the hands of the most trusted person, who knows?”

Changping Marchioness stared at the sky outside. In reality, looking out from her position, the scenery outside was very beautiful. Hearing the approaching footsteps outside, Changping Marchioness carried a bit of regret as she closed her eyes. And this regret seemingly was just due to not being able to admire such beautiful scenery in the future anymore.

Gradually, Changping Marchioness’s breathing grew lighter and lighter, all the way until it disappeared.

However, her sitting posture didn’t change, and her expression didn’t change either, completely just like trying to sleep.

That’s why, after Li Hong Yuan’s people came in, only after completely approaching did they discover that the person was already dead.

TN: All

This more or less was somewhat unexpected, because the operation this time, Gong Jiu had also participated, first confirming that these people didn’t have poison in their mouth, and also not already poisoned. But now, the person just died like this!

Thus, the matter was reported to Li Hong Yuan first thing, and shortly after, Gong Jiu also rushed over. Based on his current medical skills, very rarely would he make a mistake. Of course, he also can’t guarantee that his diagnosis was a hundred percent accurate all the time. That’s why, he further needed to confirm Changping Marchioness’s cause of death.

As the saying goes, ‘to respect the dead’, but as a spy, there weren’t any respect to speak of.

That’s why, when Gong Jiu was unable to figure out the cause of death from the surface, he directly had the person stripped naked, and afterwards, even used the knife to have the person cut open. Truthfully speaking, after Jing Wan had talked about sewing up external wounds, she even jokingly mentioned dissections, yet Gong Jiu just so happened to take to heart, and moreover, was already putting into practice. Never mind dissecting corpses, even if it’s living subjects, he can also get his hands on quite a few. Right now, towards the human anatomy, he can be considered to be very knowledgable.
