"I don't know what the Prince has to say, but the Yi Cui Shu is a place that makes people happy, how can it be related to an assassin? I hope the Prince can understand."
Ruan Niang looked wronged as she said, "It's not that I don't want to explain, it's just that I have no way of explaining. I only heard a few things about the assassins from others, I don't know anything else."
"Then tell me, why did the assassin mention the name of your Yi Cui Shu before taking action?"
Ruan Niang's expression stiffened, "This … How would I know? It should be a coincidence. "
Dong Fang Ze sneered again and again, "What a good mouth, you actually pushed the matter to its end."
"It's not that I want to shirk away, it's just that it's not related to me at all. Everyone here in this house is innocent and has nothing to do with those assassins. Prince …"
"Search carefully for This King!" Dong Fang Ze was too lazy to listen to her blabber, he immediately ordered a search on his.
Ruan Niang immediately stopped the few people in front and smiled apologetically: "Prince, you …. What are you doing? This humble one is speaking the truth, the Yi Cui Shu does not have anything to do with you and the few other Prince s. Furthermore, this place is such a small place, you can see everything with a glance.
"Since it has nothing to do with him, then I believe he's not afraid of searching." Although Dong Fang Ze's was impulsive, she had her own minute moments, so these words made Ruan Niang unable to speak. While she was still in a daze, all of them rushed up the stairs.
Ruan Niang's face was pale. She indeed had nothing to do with the assassination attempt, but Yi Cui Shu was not as simple as she said. Just thinking about it made Ruan Niang break out in a cold sweat.
After secretly giving tortoise slave a look to indicate him to leave, Ruan Niang squeezed out a smile at Dong Fang Ze again: "Prince, if you keep searching like this, how can I continue doing business?"
"Do you still want to do business?" Dong Fang Ze sneered, "This king is telling you, no matter how many you can't find today, don't even think about doing business."
The girls who were hiding in the corner heard his words, but did not dare to say anything. Ruan Niang said with teary eyes, "This is not a business deal, what can you make us eat?" Although her beauty couldn't be considered to be at the top, but she had a different kind of charm. Her current appearance caused others to feel pity for her.
It was a pity that Dong Fang Ze only thought of how he was severely injured, and how he himself had almost been shot by the arrow, and was extremely angry, "If you can't explain your relationship with the assassin, Yi Cui Shu will not be able to do business for a day!"
"Prince..."
Dong Fang Ze fiercely glared at her, "If you say anymore rubbish, I'll catch you." His status was noble, even Dong Fang Hui wanted to give him a point, so how could he put a brothel owner in his eyes?
Ruan Niang swallowed her words helplessly, and looked at the guards rummaging through the boxes upstairs with unease. After about an hour, the guards who had searched through the entire room arrived in front of Dong Fang Ze, cupping their hands and said, "Prince, we did not manage to find anything."
Dong Fang Ze frowned, "Have you guys searched carefully?"
"Upstairs, in the backyard, including the kitchen, everything was searched. There's really nothing."
Ruan Niang secretly sighed, and laughed: "Prince, you should believe me now, right? I am opening my doors to do business, seeking for money from peace, how could I get involved with those vicious assassins? What do you think? "How about …"
Dong Fang Ze shot her a glance, "This king has made it very clear that if you cannot explain the relationship between you and the assassin, Yi Cui Shu will not be able to do business for a day!"
"This... How do you expect me to explain this unnecessary matter? " Following Ruan Niang's words, all the ladies and tortoise slave in the pavilion chimed in.
"We don't even know who an assassin is or what he looks like. What are we supposed to explain?"
"We've already searched him, we've searched him, there's nothing left, and he still wants us to not allow him to do business. He really doesn't make sense."
"That's right, even if you are Prince, you still have to be reasonable!"
Seeing that more and more people were pointing fingers at them, the guards were in a difficult position. They all looked over at Dong Fang Ze, who slapped the table fiercely with a cold expression, and slammed the bowl on top of it loudly, berating: "If you dare make anymore noise, all of you, go back home!"
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly shivered, afraid that they would be caught and brought back. Ruan Niang twisted her fingers, glancing at the door from time to time from the corner of her eyes, as if she was waiting for someone.
"Master Prefect is here!" Hearing that, Ruan Niang's face revealed joy, she immediately walked towards a middle-aged man wearing a red, round-collared robe, and greeted him. He knelt down and greeted: Greetings, Master.
This man was Jing Zhao Fu Yin Wei Jing Cheng, he had participated in the court discussions and was in charge of the security in the Jinling, moreover, all the thirty odd counties and prefectures around the Jinling were under his jurisdiction. Although his rank was only at the fourth rank, his authority was higher than second or third rank officials.
took a look at her without batting an eyelid. After indicating for her to get up, he quickly walked in front of Dong Fang Ze and cupped his hands: "This official pays his respects to Mu Wang, Prince is extremely safe!"
Dong Fang Ze was currently feeling infuriated, he did not scream, and said with a cold face: "What are you doing here?"
Wei Jing Cheng did not think much of this, and slightly straightened her body, and said respectfully: "This official heard from a servant that something had happened at Yi Cui Shu, and I was worried that it would be yesterday's villains who were causing trouble, so I hurriedly brought some people to take a look, and did not expect that Prince was here."
"Yes." Dong Fang Ze replied indifferently, he waved his hand and said: "This is none of your business, go!"
How could he be willing to let Wei Jing Cheng go like this? He quickly blocked the way in front of Wei Jing Cheng and said, "My Lord, this Emerald Pavilion has always been upright and obedient, never daring to do anything that goes against the law. But when Prince came, he openly said that I was colluding with assassins, and did a thorough search of the entire Yi Cui Shu, not letting me do business.
Wei Jing Cheng had long heard of this from tortoise slave, but in front of Dong Fang Ze, she pretended to look surprised, "Prince, why is this Yi Cui Shu related to assassins?"
"Why, does Master Wei think that this duke is lying?"
"How dare you!" Wei Jing Cheng bowed and continued: "This official only thinks that it is strange, is Prince able to report it?"
Although Dong Fang Ze was very impatient, Wei Jing Cheng was still different from the Ruan Niang. She said patiently, "This king and the seventh brother both heard the name of the Yi Cui Shu before the assassination attempt. It is very obvious that the assassin is related to the Yi Cui Shu.
Ruan Niang's face was full of grievance as she said, "If I knew, I would have told Prince already. I wouldn't have waited until now."
