Murong Yan thought for a moment and decided that he should find a way to meet Ye Wanqing and ask her before taking any action.
She was so sick that day that she was in a daze. She grabbed his sleeve tightly and shouted at him in pain to run away. She had already told him that her father was planning to murder the prince.
She definitely knew about it.
So, faced with such a difficult problem, what choice will she make?
He said, "Master Liu, can this matter be adjourned for another trial?"
Liu Zhang was immediately puzzled and asked, "Why? We finally caught Ye Qingshan. If someone tries to rescue him, wouldn't we have missed the perfect opportunity to eliminate him?"
Murong Yan frowned and hesitated to evade the question, "Let's wait until we have enough evidence."
"Your Highness, why have you become so indecisive?" Liu Zhang said anxiously, "Have you forgotten that Prince Shen was kidnapped by them and almost lost his life?"
Liu Zhang was a man who would never hesitate to avenge his grudges. After finally catching the masked gunman, he naturally wanted to get rid of this threat as soon as possible and avenge A Rao's serious injury.
But at this moment Murong Yan became indecisive, which made him very annoyed and he immediately felt a little disappointed with this partner.
"Your Highness, being merciful to your enemies will only put you in trouble. Your Highness should be more decisive and ruthless. If there are any consequences, it will be your lower official, the Dali Temple, who will bear the consequences first."
Murong Yan didn't know how to explain to Liu Zhang for a moment, so he evaded the question by saying, "Anyway, just wait for my reply. Don't deal with it for a few days."
"Your Highness! He's the Third Prince's man. If we don't deal with him now, there will be more trouble. Besides, His Majesty already knows about this. He must either be convicted or released. If he's found not guilty, he'll still be the commander of the Imperial Guard. If he does anything to harm the Imperial City in the future, we'll be in trouble!"
You want to gather all the evidence and catch them all at once, but that's too difficult to achieve. I suggest we divide and conquer them first and deal with Ye Qingshan first."
Murong Yan frowned. Seeing Liu Zhang's anxiety, he didn't explain much and said directly, "I know. I will give you an answer as soon as possible. Please, Master Liu, put this case aside for now."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Liu Zhang said coldly, "I understand. Your Highness, take care of your injuries. I will take my leave."
......
Liu Zhang left the Eastern Palace and planned to return to the Dali Temple.
In order to avoid any more trouble, he must find a way to get rid of Ye Qingshan as soon as possible.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is hesitant and unwilling to take action at this moment, so he has to do it himself.
He sat in the carriage, lost in thought. The attendant driving the carriage was his personal bodyguard, Wushuang. He lifted the door curtain and poked his head in, "The Yunlai Restaurant is just ahead. Would you like to bring Miss Jiang some candied haws?"
Liu Zhang pursed his lips and thought deeply. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Buy two, and have someone send one back to the villa for Miss Jiang."
"Sir, are you not going back to the villa?"
"Well, pack the other one and I'll take it to the Censorate."
Wushuang was a little confused. In the past, when Liu Zhang was on duty at the Dali Temple, he was always the last one to leave. As a servant, he would sometimes wait for him for more than an hour without him coming out.
In the past two days, his Lord Liu almost left early every day, and the first thing he did after finishing his shift was to go back to the Liu Mansion Villa to see his Miss Jiang Rao.
But today, why do I think of Miss Xu from the Censorate again?
"yes."
After a while, Wushuang came over with two servings of hot candied haws.
Liu Zhang took the paper package, got out of the car, and ordered: "This thing will not taste good when it is cold. Go back and give it to Miss Jiang first, and then come to the Censorate to pick me up later."
"Sir, don't you want to take a car?"
"Oh, I can just walk to the Censorate."
......
When they arrived at the Censorate, Xu Wanrong was about to go out when she saw Liu Zhang coming over with a paper bag, so she got off the carriage again.
During this period of time, Liu Zhang had been ignoring her, as if she had been accustomed to being cared for by a bootlicker for a long time. Suddenly one day he ignored her, which made Xu Wanrong inevitably feel a little puzzled.
Seeing that he came to her again with gifts today, Xu Wanrong couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Humph, it’s hard to change one’s nature.
Liu Zhang said calmly, "Sister Xu, are you going out?"
"Brother Zhang, what a coincidence, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I just happened to be passing by, and suddenly remembered that there is something very important that I want to discuss with Sister Xu. Does Sister Xu have time?"
"Ah, what's going on?"
Liu Zhang was in no hurry to talk about things, and only said: "If Sister Xu is free, let's find a place to chat."
Xu Wanrong raised her eyebrows slightly. Seeing that he was trying to get close to her, she put on an ambiguous attitude and replied, "Oh, what a coincidence, Brother Zhang. I have an appointment with Qianqian to go shopping today."
"Oh, that's fine. If Sister Xu is busy, then forget it." Liu Zhang simply replied, "Then Sister Xu, let's talk another day."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't indulge her, Xu Wanrong felt embarrassed and asked, "Brother Zhang, didn't you say it was a very important matter? What exactly is it?"
Liu Zhang turned his back, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he turned around and sighed: "I wonder if my sister knows what happened recently."
Xu Wanrong was slightly stunned and asked, "What happened?"
Liu Zhang looked around and said, "I bought some tea and snacks. Sister Xu, shall we find a place to chat?"
Xu Wanrong thought for a moment and nodded.
The two of them found a quiet private room in a teahouse, and Liu Zhang spread the box of candied haws on the table.
"Sister Xu, try the candied haws from Yunlai Restaurant. I queued up specially to buy them."
Xu Wanrong smiled elegantly and serenely, praising him, "Brother Zhang, you are so considerate."
She picked up a golden meatball, took a bite, and frowned slightly. It was a very sweet taste, the rich fat unable to dissolve between her lips and teeth, making her feel a little nauseous.
Xu Wanrong wanted to vomit it out, but because Liu Zhang was present, she was afraid that it would pour cold water on him and cause him to be disgusted, so she swallowed it down.
"Is it not tasty?" Liu Zhang saw that she looked unhappy while eating the candied haws, so he explained, "But they say that the candied haws at Yunlai Restaurant are the best. Don't you like it, Sister Xu?"
"Heh~" Xu Wanrong smiled awkwardly and replied, "Maybe my appetite hasn't been very good recently. I can't eat such greasy food."
"I'm so sorry, Sister Xu, I thought you would like it." Liu Zhang pretended to be lost.
"No, Brother Zhang also means well. Of course I like it."
Liu Zhang didn't indulge her and said, "If you like it, eat more."
Xu Wanrong's expression changed, and she changed the subject: "Brother Zhang, you said you had something important to talk to me about. What is it?"
"It's like this. I went to see His Majesty this morning. His Majesty asked me to investigate the kidnapping case of Prince Shen thoroughly. Sister Xu, you know, we are all participants. But His Majesty insisted that I report quickly..." Liu Zhang looked at Xu Wanrong calmly, catching the subtle expressions on her face.
"Ah? Then what is Brother Zhang going to do?"
