Xie Anjun was of course also anxious. If Zheng Baosu really said something he shouldn't have, he would not be able to escape the blame even if he had inherited the title!
But this does not mean that he will allow Fan Chengzhuo to criticize him.
——We all did this together, so we all have to share the responsibility! Now all the mistakes are put on him, what's the point! ?
Just as Fan Chengzhuo was about to speak, cold air rushed into his throat and he started coughing violently again.
"Ahem--ahem--ahem--ahem!"
It sounded like he was going to cough out his lungs.
Seeing him like this, Xie Anjun frowned, and his previous furious mood calmed down a little.
He took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Anyway, now is not the time to pursue these things! Zheng Baosu has been escorted back to Beijing. The most important thing now is to make sure he doesn't betray us!"
Xie Anjun lifted the curtain again and made sure that there was no one else around. Then he moved closer and lowered his voice, "I heard that although Zheng Baosu was escorted back to the capital today, His Majesty seems to be busy with the Nanhu matter, so he will not be tried in person for the time being. It will most likely be postponed until tomorrow. This is a good opportunity!"
Fan Chengzhuo instantly became alert and stared at him closely, "Opportunity? What opportunity?"
"Of course, it's a chance to keep those secrets to himself forever!" Xie Anjun felt that Fan Chengzhuo was indeed very ill, and his mind was not very clear. "Just one night is enough! There are so many ways to make someone shut up forever, why not just pick one and-"
"no!"
Fan Chengzhuo suddenly shouted, his tone firm,
"This is absolutely not allowed!"
"Why not?" Xie Anjun was very surprised. "Didn't you rush here to ask me for help to stop him outside the capital? Now he has been brought back to the capital, but fortunately, there is always a way out. We still have a little time! Although he is imprisoned in the palace, it is such a big deal. It is not difficult to find out where he is imprisoned! When the time comes, as long as we find someone to act secretly, it may not be impossible!"
Since Xie Anjun was unable to learn martial arts since he was a child, he has been devoted to building relationships. In addition, now that he is the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, many people have to give him face, so it is naturally more convenient for him to act in the palace.
"I said no, it means no!" Fan Chengzhuo's tone became more urgent. After saying this, he saw Xie Anjun frowning, and then he realized that he had overreacted. He could only suppress his anxiety and try to make his voice sound calm. "...At this time, there are so many eyes watching! If he died like this, how could His Majesty not guess that there must be something fishy! When the emperor is furious and orders a thorough investigation, do you think...you and I can really get away with it!? If you do this, it will only make things worse!"
After he finished speaking, Fan Chengzhuo's face turned extremely pale.
But Xie Anjun listened to it.
His expression changed several times, and finally he cursed in annoyance, "This won't work, that won't work! So tell me! What can we do? With his cowardly personality, I'm afraid he'll confess everything before he's even been punished a few times!"
Fan Chengzhuo felt a lump in his chest, but he couldn't refute.
Although Zheng Baosu was known as General Xianwu, people who were familiar with him knew that he did not have the ability to kill the enemy in battle.
If he had a little ability and courage, he wouldn't do so many dirty things.
So Fan Chengzhuo had nothing to say.
But he couldn't just watch Zheng Baosu die.
"Let me think about it... let me think about it again... there must be a way..." Fan Chengzhuo murmured in a low voice.
Xie Anjun found him extremely ridiculous when he saw him like this.
"What can we do? At this point, what else can we do? Can you make Miao Sheng take back what he said?"
Even though he was not at the court meeting that day, he had heard about the major charges that Miao Sheng listed when he impeached Zheng Baosu!
Everything is clear! The evidence is irrefutable!
"Zheng Baosu is dying. All we can do now is abandon him and save ourselves!"
Xie Anjun really couldn't figure it out, and looked at Fan Chengzhuo up and down for a while with a frown on his face.
"Even if he is your cousin and you have a blood relationship with him, you shouldn't be so concerned about it, right? You are still trying to save him? In my opinion, you should worry more about yourself and not let him sell you out!"
Fan Chengzhuo still said nothing.
Xie Anjun, however, had lost all his patience and smiled coldly, "Anyway, that's all I have to say. If you want to save him, just go by yourself! I don't want to be buried with him!"
After saying this, he suddenly lifted the curtain, turned around, jumped off the carriage, and left quickly without looking back.
Bang--!
The door of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was shut heavily.
There was only this lonely carriage left in the street.
The driver didn't know what the two said in the carriage, but when he saw Xie Anjun walk away angrily, he felt something was wrong. He came to the carriage with great trepidation and asked cautiously, "Sir, where are we going next?"
There was silence in the carriage.
The driver scratched his head uneasily and asked again, "Sir?"
Fan Chengzhuo still didn't answer.
At this moment, the driver finally sensed something was wrong. He mustered up the courage to step forward and slowly opened the curtain.
"My Lord—Ah!"
Inside the carriage, Fan Chengzhuo's eyes were closed, blood was oozing from his nose and mouth, and there was a dark blue spot between his eyebrows. It was obvious that he had fainted!
The driver stretched out his trembling hand and felt his breath. Although it was weak, fortunately the man was still alive.
The driver was relieved at this, but then he became anxious again.
He turned back helplessly and glanced at the tightly closed door. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea of knocking on the door - Xie Anjun and Fan Chengzhuo parted on bad terms, and if he asked their people for help at this time, he would probably end up with nothing.
Thinking of this, the coachman gritted his teeth and jumped into the carriage.
"drive!"
No matter what, find a clinic first! Save the person!
…
Xie Anjun naturally knew what was happening outside the door.
"Don't worry about it!"
He said coldly.
The servant was a little worried. "It seems that Lord Fan's condition is indeed not optimistic. If he is fine, it's fine. If he is... wouldn't it cause trouble for you, my Lord?"
After all, Fan Chengzhuo knocked on the door of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion openly and had a conversation with Xie Anjun.
If this gets out, who knows what those people outside will say...
Xie Anjun doesn't care.
"He is already seriously ill. Even if something happens to him, what does it have to do with me?"
What's more, after these confrontations, he has discovered that Fan Chengzhuo is stubborn and obstinate to the extreme!
If Fan Chengzhuo really falls seriously ill or even dies this time...it will save him a lot of trouble!
Thinking of this, Xie Anjun narrowed his eyes.
"Someone come!" (End of this chapter)
