Many people knew that Liu Biping was a vengeful person.

But Princess Chang'an knew more than this, and she did more than this. She had already asked Master Xie to use the name of the Wei family to cross Liu Biping's bottom line several times.

For example, it is true that Liu Biping was a corrupt official.

But at the same time, this person also happens to be an extremely powerful and capable person.

Under his governance, Fujian's politics were relatively clear and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. If it weren't for the occasional harassment from Japanese pirates, his political achievements would probably have been even better.

But even if there were Japanese pirates, he tried his best to keep the pirates and the sea creatures under control within a balance, so that they would not bring more disasters to the coast.

Especially when it comes to dealing with pirates, the imperial court used to hunt them down and kill them, but he had a completely different attitude from the imperial court and chose to recruit them.

He released the man's parents and wife from prison, treated them to good food and drink, and asked them to write letters to their son who had become a pirate. He then used the possibility of cancelling these people's charges as bait and slowly began to negotiate terms with these pirates.

Let them provide less weapons to the Japanese.

Let them bring some information about the Japanese.

The results are obvious.

Even the biggest pirate, Gao Rong, had been shaken, and he sent his second son back to test the waters and negotiate terms with Liu Biping first.

Liu Biping was very proud of this.

He once said in a memorial that he was confident that if the amnesty was successful, the people along the coast would definitely be freed from the Japanese invasion, and Japan would no longer have the power to attack the Great Zhou for at least ten years.

But not long after these bold words were spoken, something went wrong.

When the Gao family's precious golden nugget returned to his hometown, he was arrested and killed by the local prefect.

And who is this prefect

He is the newly appointed prefect of Zhangzhou and has close ties with the Wei family. He is the brother of Madam Wei.

In addition, Shen Chen and Wei An had previously conspired to plot against the Peng family and almost implicated him.

Plus the previous incident with the Ming family's orphan.

Liu Biping was extremely angry.

Chu Jingxing never had much patience to listen to nonsense. When he heard her say that, he happily hummed, "In that case, I'll wait to hear your good news."

He paused as if remembering something, and without any special tone, he told Princess Chang'an another thing: "By the way, Chu Jingwu will also go to Fujian with Shen Chen."

Princess Chang'an was slightly stunned and did not understand what Chu Jingxing meant for a moment.

Not until she saw Chu Jingxing's eyes did she ask hesitantly: "You mean, Chu Jingwu will die too?" That's not impossible, but the problem is, if Chu Jingwu is added, I'm afraid Liu Biping may not dare to take on such a big responsibility.

Besides, how can I explain this to King Linjiang when the time comes

After all, King Linjiang's favorite son is this smart and clever son who has been brought up by his side since childhood.

If anything happened to him, King Linjiang would definitely investigate the matter without any reservations. Once any clues were found, wouldn't Chu Jingxing be putting himself in danger

Or, is he planning to use himself as a shield to divert King Linjiang's anger

Chu Jingxing saw Princess Chang'an's concerns and became a little impatient.

This woman is capable, but she is too cautious and selfish. She has to get everything clearly, which makes people feel annoyed.

He frowned and coughed to interrupt the question from Chang'an Princess Mansion, and told her lightly: "Don't worry, I have a comprehensive plan for this matter. There will be many things to do next, and my father will not have the time to distract himself and care about these trivial matters."

In other words, Chu Jingxing really had other plans.

Princess Chang'an remembered Nanny Yuan's reminder and sighed silently in her heart.

But she also knew clearly that it was impossible for her to get out of Chu Jingxing's boat, so she agreed without hesitation: "I understand."

Chu Jingxing stopped wasting time and handed a letter to Princess Chang'an: "Please deliver this letter to the person in the third house on the left next to the old tower in Maoer Hutong."

Princess Chang'an's eyelids twitched, and she stared at Chu Jingxing, feeling that she was also qualified to know something, so she asked him, "Who are you going to give this letter to?"

It has to be transferred through her, it's so complicated and cautious.

Chu Jingxing noticed his mother-in-law's panic and worry, and looked at her with amusement and raised the corner of his mouth: "You don't have to worry too much, it's just a visit to my teacher, it's not a big deal."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the plate of golden navel oranges, then moved away calmly: "Speaking of this, you should really pay attention. I can't go on anymore. Don't keep telling me how great Liu Biping is. I want to see real results."

To see what happens to Shen Chen and Wei An.

Princess Chang'an was actually speechless after being blocked by him. After a moment, she pursed her lips, suppressed her confusion and suspicion, and nodded to agree to this matter.

Then he asked, "What about the Wei family? If they don't set off with Shen Chen, and if two incidents happen in succession, they might be easily suspected, right?"

Before, because the news came out, the old lady of the Wei family and Wei An would set off with Shen Chen.

But now it seems that Shen Chen may have to postpone his trip to Fujian. After all, he will have to use a lot of coaxing and persuasion to resolve Chu Jingwu's issue.

But the Wei family's grandparents and grandchildren were about to leave. If they left now, they would be one after another with Shen Chen and his group.

It won't be very convenient to take action at that time.

Chu Jingxing's eyes were cold and emotionless: "This is not a big deal, the Wei family..."

"Even if it arouses suspicion, what does it have to do with us?" Chu Jingxing looked at Princess Chang'an coldly and reminded her in a deep voice: "It's not us who are doing it. If we want to cause trouble, we should be afraid of Liu Biping."

Whether to take action or not depends entirely on Liu Biping.

That's why Chu Jingxing asked Princess Chang'an to push Liu Biping to deal with Shen Chen and others.

Because in this way, even if King Linjiang and others had suspicions, they would not be able to find definite evidence to do anything to him.

As for what King Linjiang felt, he no longer had the energy to care about it.

Princess Chang'an was a little hesitant.

She actually had other plans.

But now it seems that Chu Jingxing intends to leave the Wei family and Shen Chen to Liu Biping to deal with...

Princess Chang'an did not hesitate for too long, and affirmed Chu Jingxing's approach. She turned around and sighed and asked him: "Then you might as well tell me another thing."
