1790 Conspire To Murder 4 (2/2)

”Reporting to Elder Yue. Chang Huan has eaten it.”

Elder Yue arched up an eyebrow, his face breaking into a smile.

”Did you see him swallow it down with your own eyes?”

The jailor replied: ”I saw with him swallow half a bun with my own eyes and after eating it, he did not discover anything amiss.”

Elder Yue nodded his head in satisfaction, and then dismissed the jailor with a wave of his hand.

Waiting till the jailor had left, Elder Yue sank himself into the back of his chair and crossed his arms over his abdomen, his face filled with smiles.

But Yue Yi's emotions had become highly conflicted inside. Having served under Elder Yue for so long, he knew Elder Yue's methods better than anyone else, and the jailor's words earlier had made his heart jump.

”Elder Yue.” Yue Yi could not help himself as he said.

”Hm?” Elder Yue was seemingly in a rather good mood.

”You want to get rid of ”Chang Huan”?” Yue Yi pushed down the anxiety in his heart, looking like he was just asking casually.

Elder Yue then said sneeringly: ”If I do not get rid of him now, should I then wait till he comes out of that dungeon, and boosts up Elder Ying's influence?”

Yue Yi's heart turned cold.

Elder Yue then said: ”The kid's powers had indeed been beyond anything I expected. I had sent people there to make him suffer some pain, but I had not thought that he would be so sharp, and not fall for it.”
