The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 799 Don’t Interfere

The locust bird seemed unable to receive it and still stood on my shoulder as steady as a mountain.

Meng Shisan pretended not to notice the flirting between Changan and Huainiao. She asked Yinhu kindly, "What? Are you not convinced?"

The silver fox had also been fed by her demonic energy and had the scent of her demonic energy on its body, so she knew how long the silver fox and the locust bird stayed outside the Aquarius Gate as soon as they approached it.

When I walked out now, I probably heard something she said and didn't agree with it.

The Silver Fox was indeed not convinced, but what Meng Shisan said was true. No matter how unconvinced it was, it still had to rely on Chang'an's powerful demonic power. So when it heard what Meng Shisan said, it did not say anything. It squatted on the ground and raised its fox head up, like a fox lady.

It perfectly illustrates what it means to be unconvinced but keep your mouth shut.

In the past, if Lan Zhijin saw Huang Jing coming to him every day, not to fight but to talk to him, he would be so happy that he would be unable to stop smiling all day.

But the current situation...

He had to admit that he was a little irritable: "You said you entered the Meng Mansion to investigate Miss Meng's background, but why do I feel that it is not you who investigated her background, but you became her henchman?"

Huang Jing moved his chair guiltily: "...It's rare that I have something to ask you. It just so happens that everything happened in the past two days, and it just so happens that it's all related to Miss Meng."

The more he spoke, the more guilty he felt. His guilty feeling emboldened him, and he shouted, "Just tell me whether you agree or not!"

Lan Zhijin was speechless. He sighed and asked, "How did she know that the Second Prince would come to me to make another deal?"

"As the eldest daughter of the Meng family, she has her own information channels." Huang Jing paused, "Besides, she is very smart."

"Knowing that she's smart, you still want to stay in the Meng Mansion?" Lan Zhijin never had a good impression of wealthy families. No matter where he traveled, he tried his best not to get involved with the local government officials. Even if he had to interact with them, it was mostly because he had run out of money and needed to earn some money. "Don't let her take advantage of you and make the most of her things before you find out her true background."

"You are the thing." Huang Jing muttered in reply without any annoyance, and then leaned towards Lan Zhijin who was sitting opposite him and asked seriously, "Do you agree or not? Let me tell you, although I have not been in the capital for long, because of Miss Meng, I have also done some investigation on the Second Prince. This man is not like the East Palace. He has done a lot of insidious things. For example, you took the reward and used magic to find the hiding place of the two good people, and then asked him to send people to kill them. The reason is closely related to the earlier incident of the collapse of the lantern mountain, which killed many people. In other words..."

"In other words, I am aiding and abetting the evil." Lan Zhijin took over Huang Jing's words calmly. It's not like he hadn't heard about these things before, but he had never investigated them thoroughly, so his understanding was a little vague. "Huang Jing, have you forgotten that before you and I set out to travel, although we didn't travel together, the instructions from our elders in our respective families were exactly the same."

Don't interfere in the struggle for imperial power.

"I didn't forget." Huang Jing sat down reluctantly, "I didn't interfere either. I just helped Miss Meng a little. Didn't you do the same?"

"I do this for money." Lan Zhijin pointed out that there was a fundamental difference between him and her.

Huang Jing felt that the two were no different: "You helped the Second Prince for money, and I helped Miss Meng to find out what those vague things around her are. Although the purposes are different, they are the same, just to achieve the goal!"

She said it with conviction. "Even if there are monsters around Miss Meng, what do you want? Do you want to capture them all?" Lan Zhijin follows the tradition of the Lan family's monster hunting clan and kills every monster he encounters. He doesn't have the patience to guide monsters to be good and willing to be captured.

Huang Jing didn't want to talk about this cliché with Lan Zhijin: "Stop talking so much, just answer one question, do you agree or not?"

She has to hurry back to report.

"...Okay." Anyway, he didn't agree to the request from Li Heng to negotiate.

Lan Zhijin rejected his proposal and he reported it to Li Heng upon returning to the palace.

After some thought, Li Heng came up with another plan when his first one failed.

Emperor Zong sat high on the imperial desk, Chief Steward Gan was waiting below the desk, and Min Fan was standing beside the desk. Imperial Attendant Tong brewed tea and served snacks as usual and then left.

There was silence in the imperial study, and a sense of oppression was felt in the silence.

"...Are you saying that the two survivors are gone?" Emperor Zong suppressed the anger in his chest and asked Min Fan again while holding his breath.

Min Fan replied, "Yes. The Second Prince first paid a large sum of money to hire the mage Lan Zhijin, who used his magic to find the house where the two survivors lived. He then ordered his assassins to go to the house and kill them. It was quick and efficient, and Miss Meng's people didn't have time to react. The whole process was a foregone conclusion."

"Master, please ask us to find the hiding place of the living witness... How could he think of that!" Emperor Zong picked up the tea bowl with the perfect temperature and threw it under the imperial desk. The imperial golden tea bowl was instantly smashed to pieces, filled with his endless anger.

Min Fan glanced at Manager Gan. Seeing Manager Gan's expressionless face, he weighed his own weight and was unsure whether he should continue reporting.

"Speak!" As the ruler of the country, it is basic for Emperor Zong to keep his eyes and ears open. The look that Min Fan gave Chief Steward Gan could not escape his eyes.

Min Fan did not dare to hesitate any longer and reported: "Miss Meng's people failed to protect the two living witnesses of the Lantern Mountain collapse, but the physical evidence is still in Miss Meng's hands. After that, Miss Meng's people successfully prevented the Second Prince from continuing to trade with Master Lan, and stopped the Second Prince's plan to continue using magic to...kill the remaining two survivors."

As for the remaining two survivors, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally reported this to His Majesty earlier, and he has also reported this to His Majesty, so there is no need to go into details, as His Majesty is also clear about it.

When Emperor Zong heard that there were two survivors left and Li Heng wanted to continue using Lan Zhijin's magic to silence them, the anger that he had suppressed with great difficulty flared up again: "Is he addicted to silencing people? Does he think Zhu Xiye and Shi Jue are as insignificant as those two common people?"

After all, he is the chief official of a county. How can he allow people to slaughter him like chickens and ducks?

Min Fan lowered his head, and Manager Gan's waist bent further and further at the Emperor Zong's roar.

Everyone knows that the Second Prince has secretly done many things that are detrimental to the people's livelihood and stability, but Your Majesty has always been willing to protect him. Although Your Majesty has privately warned the Second Prince, the Second Prince has never taken it to heart, and instead has gone further and further.

As a result, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally brought physical evidence before the Emperor and secretly summoned Magistrate Zhu to the capital as a living witness.
