Chapter 228 The truth comes out
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten who is the culprit behind all this?" Wang An mustered up his courage and said indignantly, "It was those despicable smugglers who encouraged Ezhe Taiji and your son to use the Sixth Lady to frame me!"
"It doesn't matter if they framed me, but they put Ezhe Taiji into a predicament of disloyalty, injustice and unfilial piety, and tarnished the innocence of you and the Sixth Lady!"
"Instead of attacking an innocent weak woman, it is better to kill all these merchants and use their blood to wash away your shame!"
"Isn't it?"
Wang An said all this in one breath, and immediately began to swallow his saliva, watching the changes in Lingdang'an's expression anxiously.
The almost collapse-inducing silence seemed to have lasted for ten years. Just when Wang An was about to give up, Lin Danhan suddenly relaxed.
He walked up to Wang Ansheng, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Southern Dynasty man, you are right!"
"The murderers who have truly tarnished my reputation and killed my son are still waiting for me to kill them. I really shouldn't waste my energy on irrelevant people."
"You are also a victim, come with me, I can allow you to take revenge yourself!"
Wang An was about to refuse, but immediately felt his wrist tighten, as if it was tightly gripped by an iron clamp, and was dragging him out of the tent.
After leaving the tent of the Sixth Lady Subahai, Lin Danhan grabbed Wang An and led a large group of people to the Zhongxing tent.
From a distance, you can see a group of Han people wearing Ming Dynasty costumes standing at the entrance of the station, with smiles on their faces that are either indifferent or arrogant.
They gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.
However, someone soon noticed what was happening on Wang An's side. They first restrained their demeanor slightly and waited for Lin Danhan's arrival.
However, Wang An saw a familiar face in the crowd, it was Xu Mengyuan, whom he had met once.
Xu Mengyuan also saw Wang An, and the smile on his face gradually became stiff.
Wang An saw his mouth open, and he didn't know what he said to his companions.
Soon, more than a dozen Ming Dynasty merchants became panicked and looked at Wang An without blinking.
At this time, Lin Danhan had already dragged Wang An to the front of this group of people. The murderous aura on his face had mysteriously disappeared.
There was just an inexplicable smile on his lips, and he looked at the people in front of him with a cold gaze.
Xu Mengyuan and others did not dare to be negligent and quickly bowed to Lidan Khan.
Lin Danhan said coldly: "Are you here to look for my son, Ezhe?"
The crowd pushed Xu Mengyuan out as a representative and nodded in response: "Your Majesty, we are all merchants traveling on the grasslands, and we have all done business with the powerful Chahar tribe."
"And the one who is in charge of handing over to us is none other than the Honorable Ezhe Taiji."
"So, you two are old acquaintances?" Lin Danhan's tone was still cold, but the corners of his mouth were raised and it was hard to tell what he meant.
Xu Mengyuan is also a veteran in the business world, so he's naturally good at observing people's words and expressions.
He felt that Lin Danhan's smile was very strange, as if it foreshadowed something bad.
Moreover, they did not see Ezhe in the crowd, which made Xu Mengyuan and others feel uneasy. Most importantly, according to the agreement between them and Ezhe, even if Wang An was not dead at this time, he should have been imprisoned.
But now, it was Ezhe who disappeared without a trace, while Wang An stood next to Lin Danhan, even holding hands, making them look very intimate.
The only thing that seemed strange was that Wang An's clothes were torn and tattered, as if they had been torn by some ferocious beast.
However, Xu Mengyuan was not in the mood to care about Wang An's experience. He nodded hurriedly and said, "Since your Majesty the Khan started the war, we have been doing business with Ezhe Taiji."
"From the Ming Dynasty, countless tea leaves and salt were transported to the powerful Chahar tribe, and even a lot of ironware!"
Lin Danhan sneered and said, "So, this Khan wants to thank you for your support for my army?"
Xu Mengyuan smiled and said, "No, no, Your Majesty Khan, the reward you gave us is also quite generous. We should thank Your Majesty Khan for your care over the years."
Lin Danhan nodded, and his tone suddenly became stern: "So, you used the money you earned from me to bribe my children to frame my wife?"
Xu Mengyuan and others are indeed veterans in the business world. If ordinary people were faced with Lin Danhan's sudden question, they would definitely be flustered and behave inappropriately.
However, Xu Mengyuan was only slightly flustered, so he forced himself to calm down and pretended to be confused: "I don't understand what His Majesty the Khan said at all. What do you mean by frame-up or bribery?"
"What a stubborn Southern Dynasty man!" Lin Danhan sneered. Just as he was about to give an order, several guards came over carrying two small boxes.
Lin Danhan immediately sneered and said, "Ben Kehan wants to see how long you can keep playing dumb!"
He then asked the guards to place the two boxes among the crowd and opened the two lids, revealing the colorful gold, silver and jewels inside.
There are many jewellery items among them, which are obviously in the style of the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Danhan pointed at the valuables and said coldly, "Take a look. Do they look familiar to you?"
Xu Mengyuan remained calm and his expression did not change at all.
However, among the dozen or so people in Xu Mengyuan's class, some of them still showed expressions of panic on their faces.
However, Xu Mengyuan still insisted, pretending to look at it for a while, pretending to be confused, "Your Majesty, I really don't know what these things are!"
Even with all the evidence right before their eyes, Xu Mengyuan and the others still refused to admit their mistakes, which made Lin Danhan on the verge of a rage.
But at this moment, Wang An leaned over to Lin Danhan's ear and chuckled, "I wonder if Your Majesty Khan has ever heard of the Jinyiwei of my Ming Dynasty?"
Lin Danhan's eyelids twitched, and he said meaningfully: "Who in the world doesn't know the name of the Jinyiwei?"
Wang An's smile suddenly became unbridled. He looked at Xu Mengyuan with malice and said, "The crime-solving rate of our Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the best in the world. No matter how bizarre the crime is, as long as the Jinyiwei gets involved, no one will not speak up."
Lin Danhan's eyes suddenly revealed an excited and bloodthirsty light, and the look he gave Xu Mengyuan and the others was like a hungry wolf staring at a group of sheep.
Xu Mengyuan and others immediately understood what Wang An meant. They pointed at Wang An in panic and cursed: "Wang An, you traitor, we are all Han people. Why do you help the foreigners to harm your compatriots?"
