These officials thought he was going to take revenge maliciously, so they took him to the door and beat him to death... This matter is simple but also a bit complicated. However, we have dealt with the troublemaker severely, so please don't worry, Your Majesty."

"Where is the troublemaker you mentioned? Why haven't we seen him?" Rong Zhen held the folding fan in his hand, hiding the murderous aura he had during the day. Several adults looked at each other and randomly found a few people who took the blame and came forward, but Chai Liu recognized them at a glance.

"Your Majesty, these people are not the ones who started the fight. These gentlemen are taking human lives lightly and trying to fool me!"

When Chai Liu saw that he had someone backing him up, he choked up and told the story of how things started and what happened. Everyone had a different version, but Chai San was indeed dead, and the troublemakers were never found. Those who had been replaced were tortured into admitting that they were the ones who did it.

"My Lord, this matter is meaningless, right? You actually found someone to pretend to be the troublemaker?" Rong Zhen's eyebrows seemed to be suppressed by a cold air, and a strong aura that made people intimidated without anger came from his bones. The anger in his eyes was getting deeper and deeper. The adults knew what kind of temperament His Royal Highness Zhao Wang had. He dared to do such a thing under his nose. They were so scared that they didn't know what to do.

"Ahem, Your Highness, they have already confessed that they were responsible for this incident. You can't trust Chai Liu's words completely."

Du An wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, knowing that Rong Zhen would never believe anything he said now. His eyes rolled around, a cunning light flashed in them, and he had other ideas in his mind.

"Since Your Highness is quite doubtful about this matter, why don't you guide me on how to investigate this matter?" Du An's rank has risen very quickly in the past few years, and he is also a smart man. He knows what Rong Zhen wants, so he handed the sovereignty of this matter to him and let him be his wingman behind the scenes.

"Search the gambling house thoroughly and arrest all suspicious persons for interrogation, including who owns the gambling house."

"yes."

Everyone was ashamed. Everyone knew who opened this gambling house. Could it be that they really arrested Xie Changyong? Not long ago, the second son Xie had a confrontation with the princess in court because of setting fire to Keren Hall. In the end, Lord Xie came in person to take the second son back.

Xie Yihui had many minions in the court, and soon, this matter reached his ears. At this moment, he was leisurely playing with birds in the yard, listening to the chirping sounds of the birds, with a cheerful and kind look on his face.

"Father!"

Xie Changyong hurriedly came behind him, and seeing his father playing with the bird, he quickly put his hands together and saluted.

"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?" Xie Yihui has been cultivating his character these days and is not impatient or anxious when doing things. How could he have given birth to such a son who is so clumsy and impetuous?

Xie Changyong quietly looked up at his father's expression and said uneasily, "Father, have you heard rumors that your son owns dozens of gambling houses and is colluding with foreign businessmen? These rumors are getting more and more outrageous."

He felt upset. He had done this matter perfectly, but he didn't expect that it would be spread out with exaggeration. And all he did was planned for his father.

Xie Yihui teased the birds without changing his expression. He naturally heard what Xie Changyong said, but nothing could dampen him now.

"Why did you want to provoke Gu Yunru?"

Although Xie Yihui helped him to exonerate himself last time, there are still many doubts. If it weren't for his face, the adults would not have released Xie Changyong.

"Father... isn't Gu Yunru just a weak woman? I thought her business was so prosperous that her fame would soon overshadow her son, so..."

In this city, who else but the Xie family could be rich enough to rival a country? Seeing Gu Yunru's business becoming more and more prosperous, and having the support of many people in the palace, he naturally felt unbalanced.

"But you shouldn't come up with such a stupid idea!" Xie Yihui was really worried that if he handed over such a huge family business of the Xie Mansion to him, he would squander it all within a few years. Compared with Chang Ming, he still admired Chang Ming more.

"Father, I know that, but the fire also caused her to lose some money."

"So His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is staring at you all the time. Didn't you notice?" Xie Yihui sat down at the stone table and looked up at him. When Xie Changyong heard this, his face changed.

"Father... Could it be that this time the incident with Chai San was just an incident taken advantage of by King Zhao?" Xie Changyong thought carefully about the reasons behind this. In the past, when fights and disturbances occurred in gambling houses, he only needed to allocate a sum of money to the government, and then the matter could be resolved.

When he thought of this, he slapped his forehead.

"Father, I know what to do."

That afternoon, he asked someone to send two large boxes of gold, silver and other valuables to Prince Zhao's mansion, saying that they were to honor Prince Zhao's wife. Gu Yunru stared at the two large boxes of gold, silver and other valuables in the yard with her eyes wide open, as there were indeed many things she had never seen before.

"Oh, who was that? It turns out to be the Second Young Master Xie." Gu Yunru walked up to him and looked at him teasingly. This kid was dressed like a human being, and I wonder what he was doing here.

"Greetings to the princess. I wonder if the prince is in the palace?" Xie Changyong had a silly smile on his face and a fawning look, which was somewhat different from the arrogant and domineering Xie Changyong in the past.

"He's in the study. What do you want to see him for?" Gu Yunru's eyes were full of inquiry, trying to see something from his expression. This guy came with two big boxes of things, it must be up to no good! If someone is too attentive to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

After observing his mental activities, Gu Yunru held his chest with sudden realization.

"Let's go to the main hall to talk. The prince will come out soon."

"good."

Xie Changyong came to the main hall and frowned at the cup of yellowish tea that Qingxing served him. Qingxing urged him, "This is the kumquat lemon tea specially prepared by the princess. Please have a taste, Second Young Master."

Every time a guest comes, Gu Yunru will make different tea flavors according to the guest's status, just to show off her skills.

This kumquat lemon tea is just right for Xie Changyong, because Xie Changyong is so jealous of her, and she has never forgotten what happened at Keren Hall.

"Thank you, Princess." Xie Changyong had a half-smile on his face. The tea looked really unusual. He pinched his nose, looking as if he was going to the execution ground.
