After realizing this, the madam stood up and said, "I think you two are tired of living. Who gave you the guts to falsely accuse the current emperor's son-in-law? You are so audacious!"
"Who ordered you to do this?"
After all, the madam ran a brothel and was the best at judging people's behavior. Just by looking at the situation, she knew she had to take sides, otherwise it would only make things worse.
Compared to Xiao Fan, Concubine Liu is obviously not as dangerous as Xiao Fan.
Hearing the madam's words, Xiao Fan's gaze fell on her and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
It seems that this woman is quite knowledgeable, at least she knows what to do at critical moments.
Originally, Xiao Fan had been thinking that if this woman was really so unaware of her situation, then after the matter of Concubine Liu was resolved, he would definitely deal with this brothel owner!
But for now, Xiao Fan was satisfied.
As Xiao Fan thought this, the madam naturally felt the satisfaction in Xiao Fan's eyes.
For a moment, she quickly forced a smile and looked at Xiao Fan.
After hearing what the madam said, the two women's pretty faces turned pale. They did not answer immediately, but just by looking at their expressions, it could be seen that they were hesitant.
Concubine Liu, who was standing by, saw them like this and her expression changed. She scolded them directly, "Tell me the truth, both of you. If you dare to lie, I will make you suffer eternal damnation!"
Listening to Concubine Liu's words, Xiao Fan frowned.
Concubine Liu looked stern, as if she wanted the two of them to tell the truth honestly, but in fact she just wanted them to shut up.
Seeing this, Xiao Fan's gaze fell on Concubine Liu, and his face became a little colder.
Concubine Liu's words clearly fell into the ears of the two women. They couldn't help but shudder, and the words that were already on the tip of their tongues were swallowed back.
"I don't know anything, I really don't know anything!"
The two women cried so hard that if someone didn't know them, they would probably think they had really suffered some injustice.
Looking at them like this, Xiao Fan's eyes gradually darkened.
He has no physical evidence now, but even though he has witnesses, it is difficult to point fingers directly.
And my goal is to clear my name, rather than letting this matter go on.
Therefore, he must catch the mastermind behind this!
Of course, Xiao Fan now knew who the mastermind was. He simply wouldn't believe anyone who said this had nothing to do with Concubine Liu!
My father has already said that he is now collecting evidence of the Liu family’s crimes. Perhaps this incident will be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back!
Although he knew all this, with Concubine Liu here, Xiao Fan couldn't do anything directly. After all, Concubine Liu was the emperor's favorite concubine.
Moreover, Concubine Liu and the Liu family have cultivated quite a few confidants in the court, so by then, I may not necessarily have an advantage!
So Xiao Fan thought that he had to get as much solid evidence as possible that was directly related to Concubine Liu before he could continue with his subsequent plan.
Xiao Fan was thinking about this in his mind, while Chen Rong took a sudden step forward.
"You two, I can tell you, it's best to tell me everything you know! I am Chen Rong, one of the Four Famous Constables of Beijing!"
Hearing Chen Rong's words, the two women subconsciously looked up and their eyes fell on Chen Rong.
Chen Rong didn't care what they were thinking at the moment, and continued, "If you continue to maliciously conceal this, according to the laws of Dayan, you will not only be beaten with a stick and exiled to the border. You will also be beheaded for slandering the prince consort!"
Chen Rong's words were not threatening at all, but the truth.
No matter when, slandering imperial officials is a serious crime!
What’s more, Xiao Fan was not an ordinary official!
In addition to being Xiao Chengshan's only son, he is also the fiancé of Princess Kangding, the most favored princess in the entire Dayan!
If this matter gets out, these two women will definitely not survive!
Chen Rong said this for their own good, hoping that they could know the situation and survive.
After all, Chen Rong could also see that the two women were trying to kill Xiao Fan here because they were actually threatened.
And the person who threatened them was Concubine Liu!
So telling the truth at this time is the only way for them to save themselves!
After hearing Chen Rong's warning, the two became even more frightened.
Of course, they both knew that slandering an imperial official was a serious crime punishable by exile to the frontier, but this was only compared to being directly killed by Concubine Liu. In comparison, being exiled to the frontier was naturally nothing.
But if you just behead him, won’t everything be gone?
Even if they were to be killed by Concubine Liu later, at least at this moment they both wanted to survive!
"Let's talk, let's talk everything!" The two of them didn't dare to waste any more time and spoke quickly.
Hearing them speak like this, Xiao Fan finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He couldn't help but look at Chen Rong beside him, with gratitude in his eyes.
If it weren't for Chen Rong, this matter wouldn't be so simple.
Facing Xiao Fan's grateful eyes, Chen Rong pretended not to see it.
Seeing this, Xiao Fan didn't waste any more time, but turned his attention back to the two women in front of him, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"It was Concubine Liu, it was Concubine Liu who asked us to do this!"
After making their decision, the two spoke in unison without hesitation, "What happened today is that Concubine Liu sent someone to Zuixianlou to find us. She gave us two hundred chariots of silver, called us Master Xiao Wuxian, and said that you had disrespected us. All of this was instigated by Concubine Liu!"
Now that the two had spoken, they no longer hid anything and told the whole story clearly, even revealing many details.
Xiao Fan felt very cold in his heart when he heard these truths.
He had guessed early on that Concubine Liu was behind this, but even though he had guessed it, he had no evidence. Furthermore, the other party was the emperor's favorite concubine, so it was unwise for him to directly report her.
But things are different now.
All witnesses are complete!
Xiao Fan thought about it and turned his head, his eyes falling directly on Concubine Liu.
At this moment, Concubine Liu's face looked extremely ugly, and she looked so gloomy that water might drip out of her at any moment.
Xiao Fan could only sneer in his heart at this, but he put on an expression of confusion and even looked a little aggrieved. "Noble Concubine Liu, I wonder what deep hatred I have with you that would allow you to harm me like this, even to the point of killing me?"
