Ma Guang pretended to be indignant, but in fact it was also to cover up his inner fear and nervousness: "These two people are so daring, even the queen dared to assassinate, I am really impatient! Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what happened last night?" Have you ever interrogated their mastermind from their mouths? If so, Mr. Liang and I will immediately send troops to capture the mastermind, tie him to the entrance of Caishi in Wenchang County, and execute him immediately!"
Rong Changan knew in his heart that it was Ma Guang asking whether the two assassins had confessed them. Ma Guang wanted peace of mind, but Rong Changan didn't give him peace of mind.
"Master Ma, the emperor and I interrogated the assassin last night. The assassin has indeed given some very important news. With these important news, we can easily find out who is behind the scenes. It will be a matter of time."
Rong Chang'an deliberately ambiguous, Ma Guang really didn't understand, did Yan Li know who was behind the assassination of Rong Chang'an? As a courtier, it is not easy for him to ask further questions.
"Then according to the queen's intention, how should we hunt down the person behind the scenes?"
Rong Changan's bright eyes looked forward, and his expression was relaxed, as if what happened last night was just a breeze to her. The more calm and unhurried Rong Changan was, the more nervous Ma Guang and Liang Bin became.
"Prison City Camp..."
Rong Changan looked back suddenly, his cold eyes were sharp and unique.
Even Yan Li didn't know what Rong Changan meant when he said these three words.
But Ma Guang, Liang Bin, and even Hu Jinbao and Meng Jie, the squires outside the door, trembled violently when they heard this.
"Prison... Prison city camp?" Ma Guang stuttered, "What does the queen mean?"
Liang Bin's legs were trembling all the time. If he hadn't been wearing an official uniform to cover his legs, he would have lost face: "Yes, the emperor... the queen asked the prison camp what to do?"
Rong Changan: "I mean, these two assassins are related to the prison camp."
Ma Guang clenched his fists to calm his nervous and frightened spirit.
"What does it matter? Are they from the prison camp?"
Rong Changan smiled: "I don't know, that's why the emperor and I want to ask the two adults, I heard that the prison camp is under your control, and you should know the criminals inside. You can identify them and see if they came from inside. An escaped criminal?"
"No!" Liang Bin immediately denied, "I know all the criminals in the prison camp, except for these two."
Rong Chang'an asked: "Master Liang saw it clearly, is he really not from the prison camp?"
Liang Bin said very confidently: "I dare to guarantee it with my life! If the queen and the emperor don't believe it, they can send someone to the prison camp to bring out a criminal, and let him identify it, and see if what I said is true."
Liang Bin swore in his words, it seemed that the two corpses on the ground were really not from the prison camp. Rong Changan's eyebrows and eyes were once again covered with thick clouds.
Seeing Rong Changan and Yan Li remain silent, Ma Guang and Liang Bin's tense nerves relaxed. They expected that Rong Changan and Yan Li did not get any valuable information from the assassin, and it was just Rong Changan's bluff. Even if it was a bluff, Ma Guang and the two almost let their feet slip, and they had to admire Rong Changan in their hearts, Rong Changan was really amazing!
Chen Jun couldn't bear it any longer, pointed at Ma Guang and Liang Bin and cursed: "Even if they didn't send assassins to assassinate the queen last night, it's still a capital crime if they cooperate with Hu Jinbao and others to mine mines and salt fields, and the rent tax doesn't go into the treasury. One! Apart from that, the stories about them corrupting the law and oppressing the common people are beyond words!"
Puff, Chen Jun knelt in front of Yan Li, with tears in his eyes, and his concern for the country and the people was beyond words: "I implore the emperor to put the two in prison, and when the truth is found out and the evidence is obtained, the two will be executed!"
Ma Guang and Liang Bin were terrified, staring with frightened eyes, and the blue veins on their foreheads and necks burst out.
"Chen Jun, you... don't think that you can slander us by sworn obeisance to the emperor now!" Ma Guang panted, "We have to provide evidence for everything. Do you have evidence that we leased the salt farm and the mine to Hu Jinbao?"
Chen Jun responded tit for tat: "It's not easy! The emperor just needs to go to the government office to check the accounts, and he will know."
Ma Guang muttered in his stomach: I thought that Chen Jun could have some solid evidence that we gave the mine to Hu Jinbao and others to mine. It turned out that his so-called evidence was the account book! Hey, am I stupid there? Before Yan Li came to Jiangnan, Liang Bin and I had tampered with the accounts!
The corner of Liang Bin's mouth curled into a smug smile: "Chen Jun, we think you are the emperor's younger brother, and we don't want to argue with you too much. If you really want the emperor and the queen to check the accounts, Lord Ma and I can transfer the accounts at any time. Come."
Ma Guang prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty, do you want to check the accounts?"
Rong Changan seemed to have understood what Ma Guang and Liang Bin were thinking.
"Lord Ma, Lord Liang, maybe it's just a misunderstanding, why are you so excited! If the emperor and I couldn't trust you, we would have arrested you a long time ago. It is precisely because we believe in you that we asked you to identify the corpse and see what we can find. Tell me and the emperor good news. Since you don't know them, forget it. You should step down first!"
Chen Jun wished he could swallow Ma Guang and the others in one gulp: "Queen, they..."
Rong Changan smiled slightly at Chen Jun and said, "Brother Chen Yu, Master Ma is right, we all need evidence, and we cannot wrong good people for no reason. I believe that Master Ma and Master Liang are innocent."
Chen Jun didn't know why Rong Chang'an changed so suddenly, he cast a look of help to Yan Li. Yan Li frowned, his face was tense, his eyes were dark and gloomy.
Both Ma Guang and Liang Bin smiled proudly at Chen Jun.
Ma Guang said to Rong Chang'an and Yan Li: "Your Majesty, Empress, the Chen family is a little rough, how can they accommodate so many people at night? Why don't you go to the government office?"
Yan Li looked at Ma Guang coldly: "Do you think that what I say is nothing? You and Liang Bin go to arrange the layout."
Both Ma Guang and Liang Bin were in trouble, and there were more than a thousand court ladies and eunuchs who came with Yan Li, not counting the guards, how could they be arranged in the simple Chen family
Although they knew it would be difficult, the two couldn't shirk it, so they had to answer in unison: "Observe the order!"
After all the local officials and gentry left Chen Jun's house, Yan Li asked Rong Changan:
"Queen, why did you do this just now?"
Rong Changan: "What does the emperor mean?"
Yan Li: "Why do you say that Ma Guang and Liang Bin are green and white?"
Chen Jun was still angry: "That's right, queen, if they are green and white, then there will be no bad people in the world!"
But Rong Changan only said one word: "Want to get caught." Then, he walked into the backyard and talked to Mrs. Chen.
Chen Jun was still confused: "Your Majesty, do you know what Empress means?"
Yan Li pondered for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know either. Don't ask too many questions. Anyway, Ma Guang and Liang Bin can't escape."
Ma Guang and Liang Bin mobilized the county soldiers to set up colorful sheds around Chen Jun's house, and arranged beds in the color sheds so that the accompanying maids and eunuchs could have a place to sleep.
The Chen family was refurbished again, high-end furniture was arranged, and the tiles were replaced with glazed tiles.
It only took two hours before and after, and the accommodation problem of more than a thousand people was solved.
A banquet was arranged in the courtyard of the Chen family, Yan Li entertained the neighbors in the name of Chen Jun and the Chen family.
