Chapter 907 - 907 907 Yang Wang Shows His Capability_1
Chapter 907: Chapter 907 Yang Wang Shows His Capability_1 Chapter 907: Chapter 907 Yang Wang Shows His Capability_1 Conspiracy—this was a serious matter.
If they were to commit to it, they definitely needed to gather a group of trusted confidants.
It was absolutely impossible to complete such a significant affair with the strength of a single person alone.
The task was primarily handled by Yu Ang, while Tong Tiehu and the third master of the Tong Family were only responsible for guarding the treasure.
Once they acted, there existed the risk of being discovered by others.
Yang Wang actually caught someone, a confidant of Yu Ang who not only knew about Yu Ang’s secret intentions to rebel but also knew that the Tong Family and Yu Ang were one and the same.
Knowing such a big secret, he felt confident in the face of the third master of the Tong Family at this moment.
He already had evidence in his hands; he just needed to wait for the Grand Grandfather Emperor’s emissaries to arrive, and that would be it.
To him, the third master’s sophistry seemed like nothing but a joke at this moment.
However, it was unknown whether Qiao Xiaomai was aware of this situation.
Most likely, she was not.
Such matters were not something a mere village girl would dare get involved in.
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Qiao Xiaomai and said, “Miss Tong, may I have a word with you in private?”
“If your highness has something to say, please do so here,” Qiao Xiaomai stayed put.
Seeing this, Yang Wang frowned slightly and then turned to look at the headmaster of the academy, “Master, could you all please step back a bit?”
The headmaster smiled, “If his highness commands, I dare not disobey.”
As he spoke, he stepped back along the path they had come, with Cen Hong and Sun Junyan following his lead.
The third master hesitated for a moment but then also followed them.
Watching the four of them walk away, Yang Wang looked at Qiao Xiaomai and took a deep sigh, his face showing a look of reservation.
“If his highness has something to say, just say it,” Qiao Xiaomai didn’t want to waste time with him.
Yang Wang heard impatience in Qiao Xiaomai’s tone. He pursed his lips and asked with a solemn expression, “Miss Qiao, do you know that the Tong Family descends from Prince Pingnan, Gu Yu?”
“Of course, I’m aware,” she responded.
“Then do you know that Left Chancellor Yu Ang is also a descendant of Gu Yu?”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai was startled,
Yang Wang knew this secret?!
She didn’t hide her surprise, and reading her expression, Yang Wang understood.
He clasped his hands behind his back and sighed deeply, his face filled with a pained expression, “The third master has been keeping this from you.”
“Yu Ang and Tong Tiehu are blood brothers, but while one is in Anping Village guarding the treasure, the other is secretly gathering court officials and nurturing supporters within the government; the two brothers are preparing to rebel!”
“I have already captured a witness. When the Grandpa Emperor’s men arrive, I will hand the witness over to them and present evidence to the Grandpa Emperor accusing the Tong Family of harboring rebellious intentions.”
“Miss Qiao, you have truly been harmed by the Tong Family.”
“However, since you are unaware of this matter, the ignorant are not guilty. I will plead for you when the time comes; you have nothing to fear.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
Her entire being was in a state of shock.
Yang Wang, this good-for-nothing, had actually managed to capture a confidant of Yu Ang?
Impressive, very impressive.
Her expression, interpreted by Yang Wang, seemed to indicate she was scared out of her wits, so he immediately reassured her, “Miss Qiao, rest assured, you knew nothing of this affair; you will be fine.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai came back to her senses from the stupor. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.
If she asked more detailed questions, would Yang Wang tell her?
“Miss Qiao, don’t be afraid. I, Yang Wang, give you my word of honor that you will be utterly unharmed,” Seeing her dazed and confused state, Yang Wang couldn’t help but speak up to comfort her once more, “As for the third master…”
