This time, Yan Yuan did not pretend to be Wang Xuan Ling's guard, and directly exposed his identity.
At the moment, the matter of the account book being held by him was clear to all the officials involved in the corruption case.
They also knew that they wouldn't be able to escape this time.
The timid ones directly committed suicide out of guilt. A few of them were holding onto their luck and hid inside the mansion. They were no longer as high-profile.
Other than the patrolling officers, there were also a lot of high-ranking officials involved in this case.
He was very clear that some of these officials would choose to stake everything on this one throw and fight this King Jing who did not have any troops by his side.
Amongst them, naturally included the Governor of Guangshun Mansion, Jiang Yao, as well as his timid and timid fifth brother.
Yan Yuan smiled, the light in his eyes dimmed a little, and became a little colder.
"Bring him here."
"Yes."
When Zhou Suo found out that he had fallen into the hands of the selfless King Jing and not the inexperienced Young Master Wang, all of his luck disappeared like smoke in thin air.
He was practically carried up by the guards, and the moment he saw Yan Yuan, his entire body collapsed onto the ground.
"Crimes... This sinful servant greets Prince Jing. "
Looking at his current state, Yan Yuan thought of his timid Fifth Brother. These two were the same kind of people, timid and greedy.
To them, a hundred thousand stones was more than enough as food for disaster relief.
Yet, at this moment, they actually dared to swallow several hundred thousand stones. If there was no one behind them to encourage them, he would definitely not believe it.
Perhaps the man was not on the list of accounts.
Furthermore, this person must have given them a guarantee to incite these two cowardly people to give away such a large amount of food for disaster relief.
At this moment, Yan Yuan was not interested in dealing with Zhou Suo, not even Yan Jin. What he wanted to know the most was who was the person who instigated them from behind the scenes.
"Zhou Sheng, do you know your crime?"
Yan Yuan's voice didn't have a rhythm to it, but it had enough strength to make Zhou Jia tremble all over from fright.
"Down..." "This official knows that you are guilty. I beg the king to be merciful, and I beg the prince to be merciful …"
Everyone present could not help but frown when they heard the sound of Zhou Suo's head knocking against the wall.
"This King will give you a chance to explain yourself. Who was the one who caused you to be greedy for the food for disaster relief?"
Zhou Yong didn't dare to hide anything, so he could only answer truthfully, "Your Highness, the king has made it clear that Governor Jiang found me in private and passed on Prince Ning's intentions to me. I don't dare disobey Your Highness' wishes, so …"
"So, you work with them?"
Yan Yuan's voice became colder, and the sharp glint in his eyes was shrouded with a faint killing intent.
"This official knows his wrongs!" This official knows his crimes! "
Zhou Sui kowtowed again and again, admitting his mistake.
Yan Yuan's expression softened a little, "You mean, this is Ning Wang's idea?"
I dare not lie to you, first it was Governor Jiang who called me, and later on, Prince Ning also came to see me a few times, saying that as long as the relief food arrived in Guangshun, I would think of a way to move it away from the grain depot. Because it was snowing at that time, and hundreds of thousands of stones were hard to move, I ordered Fu Yu to move the grain to the rice shop's depot, and then he said that he would send someone to look after the grain depot.
"The people from the grain depot in the Xiu Residence were sent by Ning Wang?"
The light in the corner of Yan Yuan's eyes flickered.
"As far as I know, that is indeed the case."
After that, Yan Yuan did not speak further, and only waved his hand, signalling the guards to bring Zhou Suo down.
After Zhou Zi was brought down the stairs, Yan Yuan's gaze turned to look outside the hall thoughtfully.
"Yan Jin definitely didn't have the ability to make the ninja guarding the grain depot in the East Ocean Continent."
In his heart, Yan Yuan was even more sure of his guess that there was definitely someone behind Ning Wang who brought him away.
"Your Highness, what are we going to do now?"
Wang Xuan Ling asked after being silent for a long time.
"Go with Shen Qin to Ning Wang Manor quietly. This duke thinks that my fifth brother will make a big move today."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
In this period of time, Wang Xuan Ling felt that Shen Qin was not a simple person, especially her martial arts. If they were to fight, he might not be her match, but she had hidden herself very well.
This time, if she was not forced to, she would not reveal her skills.
Only, he could feel that Shen Qin didn't have any crooked thoughts, so he didn't question her about this matter.
Moreover, with Shen Qin's capabilities, even if the wangfei wasn't here, she would still be able to provide some help.
With this thought, he left the main hall.
Since the time of Fu Yu Fa, the Prefect's seat had been empty because the appointment of the Ministry of Government had not been made.
When Yan Yuan came over, he took over as well.
After Wang Xuan Ling left, Yan Yuan went to the county's kitchen by himself.
Because he didn't want Liu Ruo Qing to worry, and because he really didn't want the poison in his body to strike and be unable to protect her, Yan Yuan was more concerned with the poison in his body this time around, compared to how he was in the past.
This Guangshun Mansion was filled with evil spirits and evil spirits, after Liu Ruo Qing left, Yan Yuan's medicine was personally made by him or his.
At this moment, the two of them weren't here, and he wasn't pretending. After all, the people here weren't very trustworthy.
He poured the medicine into a jar and looked at the bones and musk of the tiger that his precious princess had risked her life to hunt for him.
Thinking about the wound left by the fight with the tiger on the girl's arm, Yan Yuan's eyes subconsciously warmed up.
She didn't even want her life for him, how could he bear to make her worry?
Right now, the Guangshun Mansion was hiding killing intent. Only after she left did he barely feel at ease.
"I wonder how that girl is doing now?"
When he thought about Liu Ruo Qing's mischievous and spoiled face, Yan Yuan's brows unconsciously softened.
The medicine Lu Yuan He prescribed, did indeed have a little effect. In these two days, the number of times he had developed the poison clearly decreased by a lot. This made Yan Yuan feel a little more at ease.
It would not be in vain for his precious princess to pay for his redemption.
After finishing the medicine, he came out of the kitchen, and Wang Xuan Ling and Shen Qin returned.
"Prince, Ning Wang isn't in the Residence of Prince Ning. However, we've discovered that there's definitely something strange going on in the Residence of Prince Ning."
Yan Yuan smiled, this was something he had expected long ago.
Ning Wang had been king for so many years, and thought that Prince An Yi was used to it. He did not have any army at hand, so if he were to make a move tonight, he would definitely join hands with Governor Jiang Yao.
This was perfect for him to take down these Guangshun Mansion worms.
"Has the Marquis of Pingxi arrived?"
"Not yet."
"Strange, logically speaking, we should be here by now."
Yan Yuan frowned, between his brows, there was an additional uneasiness.
At this time, in the courtyard opposite to the mansion, Liu Ruo Qing and Qi Feng had been paying attention to the situation inside the mansion.
