The best ring

"Father-in-law, the seventh princess's matter has been messed up." In Ji's mansion, Dai Liang lowered his head slightly and said to Ji Pei.

"Huh? What's going on?" Ji Pei, who was leisurely drinking tea, was stunned when he heard this and asked quickly.

The assassination of the seventh princess was something that the third prince had told him about. It was related to whether the Ji family could rise again. This matter could be said to be of great importance. If it weren't for the fact that Ji Pei didn't have many available people, he wouldn't even want to do it. Leave the matter to Dai Liang. After all, he despises Dai Liang in his heart.

However, now Dai Liang says that things have gone wrong, and it turns out that the mud bar cannot hold up the wall.

In Ji Pei's sharp eyes, Dai Liang told what happened.

"The seventh princess should have entered the city now." Dai Liang finally said.

"Trash! You are so smart!" Ji Pei said angrily after hearing this: "Do you think you are smart? Do you know how to kill someone with a borrowed knife? What kind of idiots are those rebels? You actually believe them? What if you lead the rebels yourself? Ambushing the Seventh Princess is really useless!"

Being scolded mercilessly and face-to-face by Ji Pei, Dai Liangliang felt quite annoyed, but he did not dare to show it on his face.

After all, he did mess up this matter.

"Father-in-law, things are already like this. It won't help if you get angry again. What should we do now?" Dai Liang said bravely: "The seventh princess must have been protected by Wu Fan now. If you want to take action again, I'm afraid it won't be easy, and I suspect that Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess were already suspicious of me when we were outside the city."

"You deserve it! It's your own fault!" Ji Pei cursed again in frustration.

"Yes, I deserve it." Dai Liang said, "Father-in-law, please think of a solution quickly, otherwise, it will be difficult for the third prince to explain."

Ji Pei didn't want to help Dai Liang, but the seventh princess's matter couldn't be handled well, and it was really difficult for the third prince to explain it to him. Even if it was not for Dai Liang, but for his own consideration, the seventh princess's matter must be solved.

"When you go back later, go to Wu Fan's house and take her out on the pretext of protecting the seventh princess. As long as the seventh princess is under your control, you can kill her for any reason." Ji Pei thought. After thinking about it, he said.

"Then, what if Wu Fan disagrees." Dai Liang said.

"If he doesn't agree, then you can only send your cronies to assassinate the Seventh Princess. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city that Wu Fan needs to deal with. He can't always stay with the Seventh Princess. He will always find an opportunity." Ji Pei said.

"Well, I understand." Dai Liang said.

"This time, we must not mess up. The seventh princess must not leave the county alive. Do you understand?" Ji Pei said.

"I know, father-in-law." Dai Liang responded.

While Dai Liang and Ji Pei were discussing how to kill the seventh princess, Wu Fan and Zhao Qi were interrogating Zhou Dalong's sworn brother.

"Yu Han? Hehe, he is still a scholar and has been a scholar?" Wu Fan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency is wise, Your Excellency is wise." Yu Han said repeatedly, his face full of humility and flattery.

"You joined the rebels because you were replaced, couldn't get an explanation, and were beaten severely?" Wu Fan looked at Yu Han and continued.

Plop!

After hearing Wu Fan's words, Yu Han knelt down directly in front of Wu Fan and said with tears: "My lord is wise, the villain is indeed a rebel who has no choice but to join the rebels. It is not the villain's original intention to join them."

"You should know from reading books that rebellion is a capital crime. It doesn't matter why you joined the rebel team, it's the same." Wu Fan said.

"The villain has been wronged, please show mercy." Yu Han said.

"It seems that you did join the rebels because you had no choice. I will give you a chance to correct your mistakes and make up for your mistakes now." Wu Fan said.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Yu Han kowtowed to Wu Fan repeatedly, his face full of gratitude.

"Tell me, how did you know that Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess came to Qingyuan County in disguise." Wu Fan asked Yu Han: "As long as you help us catch the murderer behind the scenes, we can consider letting you live. The person next to me , you know the identity, as long as you cooperate, she will let you go."

"Yes, this princess wants to know who wants to harm me right now. As long as you tell me honestly, I can save you from death." Zhao Qi also said.

"Yes, sir, Your Highness the Princess." Yu Han responded quickly: "Two days ago, when a few brothers and I were going out to do errands, we overheard someone talking about the Seventh Princess in an outdoor teahouse. Some of them said, Seventh Princess Her Royal Highness came to Qingyuan County in disguise. They must protect her safety during her stay in Qingyuan County. At the same time, in order to ensure her safe arrival, they also eliminated dangers on her route. "

"Then you believed it?" Wu Fan asked.

"Yes." Yu Han nodded and said: "The main reason is that those people were very serious about what they said. They even made it clear what route the princess would take and when she would arrive in Qingyuan County. Moreover, a few of us did see someone there. Officers and soldiers drove away refugees and small groups of rebels along the way."

Wu Fan and Zhao Qi looked at each other, and their suspicions about Dai Liang increased a bit.

In Qingyuan County, the only one who can command the officers and soldiers on the spot is Dai Liang.

"If you were to see those people again, would you still recognize them?" Wu Fan asked.

"Definitely!" Yu Han said, "In order to confirm the authenticity of the news, I stared at them for a long time."

Wu Fan nodded and said, "Okay, I will find a chance for you to recognize the person. As long as you find the person who spread the news, you will be considered to have made a contribution."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Yu Han thanked him repeatedly.

After letting Yu Han leave, Zhao Qi looked at Wu Fan and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Treating!" Wu Fan said with a smile.

"Treating?"

"Yes." Wu Fan looked at Zhao Qi and said, "Since the news of your coming to Qingyuan County has spread like wildfire, there is no need to hide it anymore. I think there must be many people in the city who want to see you now. In this case, I will hold a luncheon and invite people with reputation and status in the city to come to the banquet to welcome you. With your name, I believe no one will refuse."

"Are you going to invite Dai Liang as well?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Yes." Wu Fan nodded: "Assassinating the princess is a capital crime. Even if you didn't do it yourself, it is definitely a serious crime. If Dai Liang really spread the news that you came to Qingyuan County, then he would definitely only hand it over to the most trustworthy person. For military generals, the most trustworthy people are their personal soldiers!"
