The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 383 Hooked

After seeing Chen Linshen, Shui Rong first saluted respectfully, and then said: "Mrs. Cui has bid farewell to the princess, and they are going back home."

The implication is that she can't stay for too long.

Chen Linshen understood, and asked: "Cui Yuanniang left the banquet and met with the Minister of War, do you know what they said?"

Shui Rong lowered her eyes and said in a respectful tone, "When Yuan Niang and Wang Shangshu were talking, I was far away and couldn't hear their conversation."

Hearing this, Chen Linshen showed a disappointed expression, but the next moment, Shui Rong continued: "However, I heard Yuan Niang mention it before.

"She said that Wang Dalang was imprisoned, and the Wang family was severely injured. Today is such a good opportunity, she must ridicule her and avenge her mother."

According to the Cui Hengyue he knew, she would indeed do this. She has always been revengeful and revengeful.

Wait, that doesn't seem right.

Chen Linshen's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Today Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang are also at the banquet, why did she go far and away to ridicule Wang Wengan?"

Everyone said that Changshan County King is smarter than his elder brother Rui Wang Shizi, Shui Rong expected him to ask this question, and had already thought of a countermeasure.

She replied calmly: "Old Madam Wang is old and in poor health, if she gets angry, Yuanniang can't afford it, and Cui's family will be implicated.

"Besides, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang have never been away from anyone. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yuan Niang is not easy to add trouble."

She paused: "However, Mrs. Wang wanted to talk to Yuan Niang, but Yuan Niang didn't talk to her, nor gave her a good face."

In this way, it makes sense for Cui Hengyue to go to Wang Wengan in private.

Chen Linshen was silent, and then asked: "What's Yuan Niang doing recently? Has the King of Chu sent someone to contact Yuan Niang?"

Shui Rong: "Since receiving the invitation from the Regent's Mansion, Yuan Niang has been preparing for it in the mansion, but the day before yesterday"

In order not to make Cui Hengyue suspicious, Chen Linshen didn't ask too many questions, and sent Shui Rong away after asking the main questions.

After Shui Rong went back, Cui Hengyue didn't ask her about her conversation with Chen Linshen.

But Shui Rong felt that she should confess, so after returning home, she told Cui Hengyue the conversation between herself and Chen Linshen in detail.

After listening to the second son's report, the regent Chen Zhan remained silent.

Seeing this, Chen Linshen couldn't help asking: "Father suspects that Shui Rong is lying?"

"No." Chen Zhan looked out of the window with deep eyes, "I always feel that things are not that simple."

Chen Linshen thought for a while: "The Wang family is upright and will never kill innocent people indiscriminately. It is impossible for Qi Nianguang to be killed by Wang Dalang.

"But Wang Dalang must have appeared on the night Qi Nianguang was killed, otherwise he wouldn't have explained his whereabouts that night.

"Duke Jingguo took advantage of this to pre-empt the attack, as long as the real culprit does not appear, Wang Dalang will be the scapegoat.

"The two clans of the Cui family and the Wang family are fighting to the death. Isn't this kind of situation what my father always wanted to see? Why doesn't my father look very happy?"

That's right, he single-handedly facilitated the struggle between Cui Shi and Wang Shi.

Chen Zhan sighed: "Since the previous dynasty, the aristocratic family has been a mountain on the head of the royal family. If I can eradicate these aristocratic families, it can be regarded as opening up a smooth road for His Majesty to govern personally."

Before his son could speak, Chen Zhan waved his hand: "Go back first, and continue to stare at Cui Hengyue."

"Yes."

Thinking of Wang Wengan being isolated by everyone and drinking alone, Cui Quan couldn't help but smile on his weather-beaten face.

Bai Qi stood beside the carriage, watching Cui Quan approaching with a strange look in his eyes, and wanted to remind him loudly, but he seemed to have scruples and hesitated to speak.

"Father, please slow down."

Cui Yongzong helped Cui Quan into the carriage and went to the carriage behind.

"Go home."

Cui Quan, who was slightly drunk, sat in the carriage, slowly closed his eyes, and gave an order.

The convoy moved forward slowly, heading towards the Yasukuni Mansion.

Suddenly, there was wind blowing into the carriage, and Cui Quan, who was about to fall asleep, shuddered and opened his eyes.

A familiar face came into view, and the drunkenness left in Cui Quan's body disappeared instantly: "You"

"Come--"

"Liu Yang is in my hands."

Cui Quan was about to call someone in, when Wang Wenqian in front of him uttered such a sentence, and the words behind him immediately stuck in his throat.

Thinking of the news from the guards in the mansion before, his heart sank, but he didn't show it at all.

He snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Wang Shangshu didn't want me to help you speak well in front of His Majesty and the Regent, to save your son, so he lied to me?"

"That's right." Wang Wenqian admitted generously.

Under Cui Quan's astonished gaze, Wang Wengan said again: "However, I didn't lie to you, Liu Yang is indeed in my hands."

As he said that, Wang Wenqian took out a token and held it up high: "This is Liu Yang's personal belonging, you don't know it?"

Cui Quan stared.

That's right, that token was indeed Liu Yang's personal belonging, and it was also Liu Yang's exclusive token, which he gave to Liu Yang.

Sure enough, Liu Yang was in the hands of this little fox.

Cui Quan clenched his fists, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's just a guard. If Wang Shangshu wants it, I will give it to you."

"Duke Yasukuni is really generous? Then don't regret it."

Wang Wengan's whole body relaxed, with a smirk on his face: "As far as I know, Liu Yang is a servant of the Cui family. He has followed Lord Yasuo since he was a child, so he must know a lot about Lord Yasuo.

"Since Lord Yasukuni is so generous and personally handed over the handle to me, then I will be disrespectful."

He personally delivered the handle?
It is clear that this kid is not kind, and sneaked into his house to rob people.

It's not good to rob anyone, but Liu Yang was robbed, and he already knew that Liu Yang was the murderer of Qi Nianguang.

Cui Quan was very annoyed, but seeing Wang Wenqian straightened up and was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Wait—"

Hooked.

Wang Wenqian was overjoyed, and without showing any signs of expression, he sat back slowly: "Why, the Duke still has orders?"

This brat, dare to mock him?
Cui Quan was furious, but he had to hold back, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "What do you want?"

This is the attitude that negotiation should have.

Seeing the aggrieved look of Cui Quan who wanted to get angry but couldn't, Wang Wengan felt relieved and said slowly: "You and I know who killed Qi Nianguang.

"My Dalang was wronged, please trouble Mr. Yasukuni to explain it to the regent, and give my Dalang justice, so that he can return home as soon as possible.

"Of course, everyone in my palace has nothing to do with this case, and please ask Lord Jingguo to help Prince Rui catch the murderer as soon as possible, so that the capital can be restored to peace and prosperity.

"The day this case is closed is when Liu Yang returns to Duke Jing."

Cui Quan gritted his teeth angrily: "This case involves a lot. If I want to catch the 'real culprit', I have to plan carefully."

This is promised.

Wang Wengan was not overwhelmed by the victory, and said with a straight face: "This is the first time that Prince Rui's son and Changshan County Prince have jointly handled a case, and the Regent has high hopes for their brothers. Presumably, Duke Jing will not disappoint the Regent, right?
"Tomorrow morning, I hope this case can be closed. Otherwise, tomorrow the capital will spread the secrets of the Yasukuni Mansion, and I can't guarantee it."

After saying that, he lifted the curtain and flew out.
