In the Prime Minister's Mansion
At this moment, in the back garden, all kinds of expensive plants, as well as the pavilions and rockery, were all illuminated by the bright moonlight, giving people a comfortable and leisurely charm.
In such a beautiful scene, a dancing fairy should have appeared.
Unfortunately, there was only an extremely frustrated old man.
He walked around the back garden with his feet wide open, never stopping. He didn't even notice that there was a young man behind him.
"Grandfather?" The young man bowed slightly and called out.”
When he heard the voice, he stopped in his tracks. When he turned around and saw who it was, his face immediately lit up."So it's Zi Fang!"
"Grandfather, ever since you returned from the court, you, who had always been a strategist, seemed to have changed into a different person. What have you encountered that made you so worried? Why don't you say it? Perhaps Zifang can help you solve your worries.”Zhang Liang said respectfully.
If it was someone else who said this, Zhang Kai Di would definitely not be bothered, but this person was his most favored grandson. One had to know that he had encountered many troublesome matters before, but in the end, they were all easily resolved by Zhang Fang.
Thus, Zhang Kai Di had high hopes for Zhang Liang and even planned to wait a few years for him to inherit the position of Prime Minister.
After that, Zhang Kai began to talk about the robbery of the military pay.
" Sigh, Ji Wuye recommended me to solve the case with ulterior motives. The two people involved in the case are both relatives of the king, so it's really difficult to interrogate them. This is also the reason why the previous five judges got nothing. In addition, the mastermind is behind this. If I was killed like the previous judges, it would be exactly what Ji Wuye wanted. If I managed to escape the disaster, but still couldn't find my salary, I would definitely be charged with incompetence. It would be a dead move anyway.”
"Zifang, what do you think this old master should do?”He looked at Zhang Liang expectantly.
After hearing this, Zhang Liang was thinking about how to break the situation. However, no matter which direction he looked at, he was stuck in a bottleneck. He could not break Ji Wuye's fatal trap at all. He even vaguely guessed that the robbery of the army's pay might have something to do with this person.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Liang cupped his hands and said,"Grandfather, the key to this matter lies in the candidate to solve the case."”
"What do you mean?" Zhang Kai asked.
"First of all, the person who solved the case cannot be my grandfather, nor can it be any other official. It must be someone of the same status as the two royal relatives. Only then can we ensure that the interrogation is normal.”
With his little touch, Zhang Kai was instantly enlightened."Zifang is right, why didn't this old master think of this?”
"Grandfather was only caught in the trap, so he couldn't follow the law.”Zhang Liang smiled.
How could Zhang Kai Di not see that Zhang Liang was complimenting him? He was worried that he would take things too hard. However, no matter what, he was the prime minister. How could he not be tolerant of others, let alone his junior?
He waved his hand and began to think about it. However, after thinking for a long time, he could not think of the most suitable person to solve the case. After all, people of the same status as the king's relatives were also the king's relatives. These people all had deep friendship, so they were definitely not willing to offend each other. Taking a step back, even if there was a king who dared to agree to this matter, what if he did not have the ability to solve the case…
"This old master really can't think of who to invite to solve the case.”
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, and a person appeared in his mind: "If there's anyone in Han who can solve this mystery, it must be that person.”
"Who is it?" She asked.
Zhang Liang lowered his head and cupped his hands." Please forgive me for not being able to tell you for the time being. Grandfather, please wait patiently. You will know tomorrow."”
The reason why he didn't dare to say it was because his grandfather didn't have a good impression of that person. If he told him directly, he was afraid that he wouldn't meet him. Moreover, he still had to obtain that person's consent. However, it was a little late today, and he seemed to have just returned. It was better to go tomorrow.
……
Hidden Dragon Palace
"Rumor has it that when the Ninth Young Master was young, he had been wandering around the world of women. Now that I see it, it's true. I wonder how many young ladies have been captured by this eloquent mouth.”
The Violet Maiden chanted softly as she stood up. Her jade-like hands picked up the wine jug lightly and lifted it in the air. The wine that looked like green jade poured out of the jug, drawing a pleasing green arc before finally falling into the white jade wine cup on the table.
"Then has Lady Violet ever been captured?”Han Fei picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp.
Violet Maiden poured him another cup of wine, then knelt at the side and said,""I'm afraid I've disappointed Young Master. I'm already past the age where I like to listen to sweet words.”
"What a pity. It seems that I have to prove it with my actions.”
"Then I'll wait and see!"
After joking, Han Fei said seriously,""Now, do you want to tell me why you are here?”
Violet Girl's eyes were smiling as she exhaled,""Since Young Master can guess my identity and guess that I'm waiting for someone, why don't you make another guess?”
"In front of Miss Violet, how can Fei be called intelligent?”Han Fei shook his head and said, But since Miss Purple Girl likes me so much, I have to show my face.”
"Now that Zi Lanxuan is at the height of its power in Han Country, and Miss Violet Maiden is not hiding it, even ordinary people will know a thing or two about you when they see you, let alone me.”
"During the treasure trade fair, Miss Violet Girl said that your treasures are for picking their owners. Then, the distinguished guests of the Geng House once tried to trade with you, but you rejected them. Even after everyone left, you were still here.”
"As for why you came here, I can easily guess it as long as I go through it from the beginning to the end.”Han Fei carefully shifted the red lotus from the right to the left, freed his sore right arm, shook off the discomfort, took a sip of the wine, and then continued.
"At first, Miss Violet wanted to give Fei a Special Item, but she didn't want to expose her identity. What should I do? Coincidentally, you know that I'm interested in some bizarre items. Therefore, you put it in a mysterious box and gifted it to me through the exchange of treasures in Hidden Dragon Palace.”
"Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes. Miss Violet Girl didn't expect that I would choose the Floating Light Fur, nor did she expect that the other party would take a fancy to your item. In the end, when you were worried that I would choose the box first and then use it to exchange for the Floating Light Fur, the demoness from the Xin House appeared. Thus, you rejected the owner of the Geng House while turning a blind eye to me being bewitched by that demoness. Because only then would I have no other choice but to exchange for your box.”
"In addition, although I don't know what exactly is inside the box, I am certain that this item will be of great use to me. Miss Zi Nu, are you trying to befriend me? Or perhaps he wanted to use this item to achieve some unspeakable goal?”
After saying that, Han Fei looked at Purple Girl playfully.""I wonder if my guess is correct?"
Violet Maiden remained calm from the beginning to the end and did not answer. She smiled and asked,""If it's true that I came to Hidden Dragon Palace to gift you something, young master, I'm not a prophet. If young master didn't come, my plan would be ruined.”
"It's a question of probability. Based on your understanding of my personality, I have an 80% chance to come here after knowing Hidden Dragon Palace. Erm... you might not understand. In other words, if I came to Hidden Dragon Palace today, Zi Lanxuan would definitely know about it at once. If I didn't come here, he could have other means, such as suddenly appearing beside my pillow in the middle of the night.”
"Young Master is indeed smart. Not only did you observe the details, but you also roughly restored the whole thing based on a few clues. Violet Girl admires you.”It was not until now that Purple Girl had to admit that Han Fei was indeed outstanding. No wonder Wei Zhuang liked him.
"Thank you for your praise, Miss Violet. Now, can you tell me what your purpose is?”Han Fei said.
Purple Girl was a little hesitant, but she remembered that she and Wei Zhuang had used this method to see if Han Fei was capable. Although the result was different from what she had expected, he had indirectly proved himself. Of course, it would be better if he could complete it.
" I can't explain the details in a few words. I can only tell you that the items in the box are related to the military pay case…"
Then, Purple Girl put the wooden box in front of Han Fei.""With Young Master's intelligence, you only need to open it and see what's inside to guess our purpose…"
