Chapter 319 Ming Zhang Trap, the First Assistant
An Pingzhi stood up and came to Leng Xuanrong's side and said with a smile, "Leng Xuanrong, what my father said is not wrong at all. The case of re-examination of the imperial library was brought up by King Xiao Han, and now it is handled by the Criminal Division. I didn't tell you long ago that my father is a talented person. I heard that your father, Leng Shilang, was a famous talented son in the imperial city, and my father wanted to save him. As for you..." An Pingzhi stretched out his hand and patted Leng Xuanrong on the shoulder and whispered in her ear, "If you don't want to live here and be protected by me, you can go to Xiaohan Palace now. However, everyone knows that Xiaohanwang is moody. It's not certain whether he will protect you like me.
Leng Xuanrong turned his head and looked at An Pingzhi's hand on his shoulder, and his heart beat faster. An Pingzhi is right. If the criminal division really wants to trouble her now, Leng Xuanrong doesn't think that Du Yilin can risk bad things to protect her. What's more, she doesn't know what Du Yilin is thinking, let alone whether she is a relative or an enemy in his eyes. In contrast, the peace in front of him made Leng Xuanrong feel much more relaxed.
However, if you want Leng Xuanrong to choose who to be protected, Leng Xuanrong will never choose between the two of them. The first person she thought of was Dou Haowei, and she didn't know whether the young master of the imperial palace could protect her at this time. Leng Xuanrong thinks that the most important thing now is to know how serious the current situation is.
"The eldest son, do you know why King Xiaohan investigated my father?" Leng Xuanrong asked softly.
An Pingzhi sat in front of Leng Xuanrong with a shallow smile and said, "This step taken by King Xiaohan is called east and west. He complained about the court's sending troops to attack Wuming County, but he was not willing to open his mouth, so he found something else to do to distract his attention... I guess so.
Even Leng Xuanrong could hear that it was impossible to hear what An Pingzhi said, but An Pingzhi seemed to have a reason and evidence. He continued, "What's matter on He Lijing's side is because of the inducement of my marriage. My father blamed himself for this for a long time, so he strongly advocated that this matter should be done by him in the court. Preside over the processing. He Lijing was ambitious, and the court sent several groups of people to appease him, but the result was unsatisfactory, so now there is only the way to use force. However, King Xiaohan not only did not make a clear statement on this matter, but also tried to stop it..."
Speaking of this, An Pingzhi seemed to find that Leng Xuanrong's face was full of three words of disbelief. He came over with a smile and asked softly, "Haven't you decided yet?" Do you want to stay with me or go to King Xiaohan?
Leng Xuanrong was stunned when he heard the words. When An Pingzhi said this, his eyes stared straight at her, and his eyes were simply enchanting. Leng Xuanrong felt that he was digging a deep trap for himself, but there was no cover on the trap at all. He stood next to the trap and stretched out his hand to ask her to jump down.
Do you jump or not?
Leng Xuanrong came to her senses and found that she was really hesitating about it.
"Stay. It's almost my father's birthday. Stay here for a few days, and then wait until the weather is calm."
An Ping's secluded words reached Leng Xuanrong's ears, and Leng Xuanrong involuntarily nodded slightly with his voice.
An Pingzhi smiled even more happily. He called his servants and ordered, "Clean up the yard next to him and let Miss Leng stay."
At this time, Leng Xuanrong suddenly came to her senses, but there was no way out.
The place arranged for Leng Xuanrong was next to An Pingzhi's quiet yard. At this time, Leng Xuanrong knew that An Pingzhi lived here. Leng Xuanrong only saw An Pingzhi in that deserted house in his previous life and this life. Now he knows his residence and lives next to him. Even if he knows that this is also part of his trap, Leng Xuanrong still does not feel afraid.
Leng Xuanrong asked An Pingzhi to take care of the servants in her house, and An Pingzhi also readily agreed. Before long, someone brought the guard house.
When Shouju saw Leng Xuanrong, he asked anxiously, "Miss, didn't they do anything to you?"
Leng Xuanrong shook her head, touched the top of Shouju's head, and whispered to him if he had a chance to inform others that they were trapped here. Shouju frowned and lowered his head and said nothing. Leng Xuanrong knew that the child must have racked his brain to find a way and probably failed.
"It's okay. At least we've been safe these days." Leng Xuanrong comforted Shouju, but after saying this, even she couldn't believe it.
Is it really safe? Leng Xuanrong felt as if he had been hit by An Pingzhi's ecstasy, and everything was at his mercy.
Shouju is a clever child. After arriving here, he ran in and out. It didn't take long for him to find out everything around him.
"The eldest son seems to have an order, and the servants here are respectful to us all. Miss, you are really awesome. Even the eldest son of the Prime Minister's mansion gives you three points. When Shouju said this, his eyes were full of admiration, but Leng Xuanrong could only smile helplessly and shake his head. However, Shouju also told Leng Xuanrong in a low voice that their yard was full of patrollings. Although no one stopped him from entering and leaving, he could see someone watching him after a few steps.
Leng Xuanrong knew that this prime minister's mansion is a real Longtan tiger den. In her previous life, she had seen the horror of this place, so she also told her not to run around in this prime minister's mansion.
The small courtyard is not big, but it is as exquisite and elegant as the yard of Anpingzhi. The things placed in the room also look simple and elegant. Shouju held his hands and stared at those things, constantly asking Leng Xuanrong if they were valuable. Leng Xuanrong talked to Shouju in a word, but he still thought about what was happening now.
When he was in charge of the lamp, Shouju just said that he wanted to find somewhere to get food, and he heard someone enter the yard.
As soon as the door opened, a figure rushed in.
"Ceng Xuanrong!"
The crisp cry sounded, and Leng Xuanrong saw that the person who came in was An Qiaoqiao. And as she walked in, there was the eldest son An Pingzhi.
Leng Xuanrong got up and came forward to bow to the two of them. An Qiaoqiao stepped forward and came to Leng Xuanrong, stared and asked in a low voice, "Why do you live next to my eldest brother?"
Without waiting for Leng Xuanrong to answer, he heard An Pingzhi smile, "Qiaoqiao, you have to ask her, and you should wait for dinner, right?"
An Qiaoqiao turned into a smiling face when he heard the words, ran to An Pingzhi and took his arm and nodded vigorously.
An Pingzhi said to Leng Xuanrong, "My father pitied you for being alone, so I want to have dinner with you. Come on."
Leng Xuanrong frowned when he heard the words, and An Pingzhi also frowned and said, "Reng Xuanrong, you should be happy."
Seeing this unbearable resistance, Leng Xuanrong had to bow again and said, "What the eldest son said is that the little woman is honored."
The dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion is very different from what Leng Xuanrong thought. In a very ordinary hut in the Prime Minister's mansion, four people sat on a futon with a small table. An Longyi sat side by side with An Pingzhi, while Leng Xuanrong and An Qiaoqiao sat on both sides. The dinner looks very rich, and what the three settle-in people said during the dinner table is very common.
An Longyi asked Leng Xuanrong how she had lived with her father in recent years, and Leng Xuanrong answered truthfully. Especially about the people sent by An Longyi to chase their father and daughter, Leng Xuanrong didn't miss anything. An Longyi's face did not change after hearing these words, as if those things had nothing to do with him. When he asked what happened to them in Nayan County, An Pingzhi interrupted, "Father, Leng Shilang seemed to have given something to King Xiaohan when he was in Nayan County, so King Xiaohan wanted to retrial the case of the imperial reservoir water at this time."
An Longyi raised his eyes and glanced at Leng Xuanrong and asked, "Does Leng know what it is?"
Leng Xuanrong shook her head slightly and said, "That's my father's secret. I don't know."
An Longyi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled when he heard the words. "Pingzhi always said that you are very smart. It seems that this is true."
"It's not!" As soon as An Longyi said, An Qiaoqiao said something. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and pointed to Leng Xuanrong and said, "Father, don't say that she is smart. The previous thing was her idea!"
Leng Xuanrong was shocked when she heard the words. She looked at An Qiaoqiao and didn't know what she was talking about. At this time, An Longyi looked at An Qiaoqiao, smiled very spoiledly and said, "Ah, are those mountain thieves?" After saying that, he turned his head to look at Leng Xuanrong and asked, "Reng Xuanrong, the mountain thief named Qi Zongyan, have they bothered you?"
When Leng Xuanrong heard An Longyi say the name, he was so scared that he almost dropped the bowls and chopsticks in his hand. But when she saw that the three An family were not calm, Leng Xuanrong also tried her best to calm herself down. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said to An Longyi, "Your Excellency, the Qi Zongyan you mentioned is probably the owner of Chengguibuzhuang in Wuming County, right? He has indeed caused me a lot of trouble, and the chief knows it best.
An Longyi nodded when he heard the words and asked, "I heard that you have been kidnapped by them, and then your beloved... Zeng Yanliang? He is missing. Have you checked the connection between these two things?
An Longyi's words hit the place where Leng Xuanrong was uneasy. She had thought about it countless times, but what happened to the disappearance of Brother Yan Liang. Leng Xuanrong couldn't find out at all. She didn't even know where Qi Zongyan and the others were, let alone the feeling that those people's words seemed to be missing with Brother Yan Liang. It doesn't matter.
Leng Xuanrong looked at An Longyi, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Does the Prime Minister know anything?"
As soon as Leng Xuanrong said this, An Pingzhi and An Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing.
An Pingzhi put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Leng Xuanrong coldly and said in a low voice, "My father is the prime minister of the dynasty. There is nothing he doesn't know."
