The Emperor of Southern Liang looked at the two people in the hall with a half-smile as they cried and talked, looking innocent, but he did not expose their mistakes immediately.

"I already know about this matter, you can leave now."

"Father?" Prince Shen was stunned. Could this matter be let go so easily?

Allow Bu Yan to do whatever he wants?

"Back off!" Emperor Nanliang said in a deep voice.

The two had no choice but to retreat.

As soon as the people left, the Southern Liang Emperor asked Bu Yan to come back and asked, "Did you hear what Prince Shen said just now?"

Bu Yan nodded.

Emperor Nanliang did not continue to ask, but asked about the Rong family. Bu Yan took out a few documents from his arms: "Rong Chang and Rong Yin are very stubborn. I tortured them, but they never confessed. I was worried that I would beat them to death, so I did not continue to ask. Madam Rong died to prove her innocence. The gift of the courtyard involved the Princess of the County, and Rong Yin's abduction of a commoner girl was also related to the Shen County Prince's Mansion. The defendant is no longer planning to sue Rong Yin."

After hearing these few words, Emperor Nanliang's brows were twisted so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death, and even anger appeared in his eyes.

"Everything is related to Prince Shen's Mansion." The Emperor of Southern Liang snorted coldly.

Bu Yan added: "The usury issue is also related to the Murong Mansion. Lord Murong has also approached me privately, asking me to turn a blind eye."

"Bastard!" the Emperor of Southern Liang cursed.

Bu Yan lowered his eyes.

After being angry, the Southern Liang Emperor asked again: "You just said that you found two Baogong Pills in Rong's house. Where are they?"

"Your Majesty, the Princess of Shen County wanted to take me away."

"Asshole!" The anger that had just subsided in the Nanliang Emperor was stirred up again, and he glared at Bu Yan deeply.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Since the usury and the rape of women have nothing to do with the Rong family, you should give justice to the Rong family and the people."

Bu Yan cupped his hands and said, "I accept your command."

an hour later

Bu Yan went to the prison personally and sent the two brothers back to the Rong family. Mrs. Rong was angry and anxious when she saw the two brothers covered in wounds.

“Master Bu, are we just going to let this matter go?” Madam Rong’s dignified and pretty face showed anger, as if she wanted to ask the question to the end: “The Rong family has been slandered, and a life has been lost!”

"Mrs. Rong, may I have a word with you?" Bu Yan asked.

Mrs. Rong thought for a moment, then walked towards the corridor not far away. Bu Yan followed slowly, and the two kept a distance.

Bu Yan said, "Madam Rong, do you really think the two Rong brothers are innocent? There is solid evidence that Rong Chang was involved in usury. Although Rong Yin did not rob women, he did beat others. The punishment they received was just a lesson. As for Madam Rong, she was just exchanging her life for Rong Chang's in exchange for the safety of the entire Rong family."

Madam Rong trembled and looked at Bu Yan in disbelief.

"It is true that the Rong family has attracted attention and has been plotted against, but it is unfair to say so." Bu Yan sneered, "That is the fact."

It took Mrs. Rong a long time to come back to her senses: "If that's the case, why did you help the Rong family?"

"Entrusted by others."

"Who?"

"Princess Bong Hwa."

Mrs. Rong didn't know how to respond for a moment, and only came to her senses after Bu Yan left and walked a long way away. She quickly asked someone to close the door, sent the maid away, and asked about Rong Chang and Rong Yin.

The two men cried out for injustice at first, but as soon as Madam Rong brought out Bu Yan, the two men immediately confessed obediently.

"Aunt, we know we were wrong."

Madam Rong almost fainted when she heard this. She didn't expect the two to be so bold and actually dare to make a mistake. She remembered Bu Yan's instructions and quickly said to the old lady, "It's not advisable to stay in the capital for a long time. Let's go to our hometown to take shelter first."

The old lady was so frightened that she had lost her backbone and nodded to Madam Rong.

……

Bu Yan released the two Rong brothers, then went to Murong's house and showed Qingsong's letter: "Lord Murong, please do me a favor and let me check it out."

Lord Murong's face turned pale and blue as he stared at the dozens of guards behind Bu Yan, all of whom had knives in their hands, looking as if they were ready to draw their swords at any time if Bu Yan disagreed.

"Master Bu, isn't it ridiculous to conclude that the Murong family has something to do with loan sharking based on the words of a servant?"

"Lord Murong, I am not discussing this with you." Bu Yan raised his eyebrows, looking impatient.

Finally, Lord Murong had to compromise and let Bu Yan take people to search. He followed Bu Yan closely, fearing that they would find something more in the mansion.

Even so, the guards discovered something under a big tree.

Bu Yan said in a deep voice: "Dig!"

Without giving Lord Murong any chance to speak, a dozen guards immediately fetched tools, turned the yard upside down, and unexpectedly found a secret room.

Lord Murong's eyelids twitched and he said he was unaware of it. He really was unaware of it and had no idea when a secret room appeared in the yard.

"Pry open!"

Give an order.

The secret room was pried open.

When they opened them, they found several large boxes full of usury.

"This is impossible!" Lord Murong exclaimed.

Bu Yan raised his hand and gently patted Lord Murong on the shoulder: "The first person to discover this matter was the Shangguan Mansion. Lord Murong, usury is no small matter. We have to weigh the pros and cons and give up something. Lord Murong and I have no grudges, and I really can't bear to lead troops to raid Murong's house."

Lord Murong was completely stunned by Bu Yan's words, but after he came to his senses, he realized what the other party meant. He was asking him to shift the responsibility to the Murong family!

"This……"

"Lord Murong, please take your time to think about it. I'll go to the front and have a cup of tea." Bu Yan walked away.

Somehow the news leaked out, and the first place it reached was Prince Shen's mansion. Prince Shen became somewhat restless.

"What on earth is Bu Yan going to do!?"

After letting the Rong family go, the Murong family was involved.

Helian had a bad feeling: "Prince, after all the twists and turns, he finally pardoned the Rong family. Bu Yan's actions seemed to be directed at us."

Things like usury, gift of a courtyard, and the badge of Prince Shen's Palace were all forcibly linked to Prince Shen's Palace.

Prince Shen frowned, he himself couldn't understand the situation.

It was clearly the Emperor of Southern Liang who instructed to deal with the Rong family. Prince Shen made use of Miss Lang to make this happen and completely wiped out Prince Shen's Mansion.

But in the end, Prince Shen’s Mansion couldn’t explain it clearly.

Prince Shen seemed to have thought of something and was secretly frightened. Could it be that the Emperor of Southern Liang wanted to use Bu Yan to punish him?

If that's the case, everything makes sense.

"Bu Yan is a sword beside my father. Without my father's permission, how dare he act so arrogantly!" Prince Shen looked at Helian angrily and said, "Prince Shen's Mansion should keep a low profile for a while and stop provoking Bu Yan."

Helian looked aggrieved, as if she had thought of something, and quickly said, "Prince, Bu Yan is a sinister and cunning man who is disadvantageous to us in many ways. If we can bring him down, no matter who takes the throne, it will be better than him."

Prince Shen snorted: "It's not like we haven't thought about overthrowing him over the years, but have we ever succeeded?"

"Prince, this time is different." Helian whispered, "Bu Yan is not from Southern Liang at all, but a spy from Northern Qi. If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely arrest him!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Shen was very excited: "Really?"

"My Lord, how dare I joke with you?"

As a couple for many years, Prince Shen naturally believed in Helian. He stood up and clapped his hands repeatedly: "If we can step Bu Yan into the quagmire, it will be beneficial to us!"

The person who was being talked about was now leisurely drinking tea. He waited patiently for a long time before he saw someone coming late.

Seeing the person coming, Bu Yan smiled more and poured a cup of tea and handed it to the person opposite.

"Thank you, Lord Bu, for your help." Lu Jingning raised his glass and thanked Bu Yan.

When something happened to the Rong family, she asked Bu Yan for help.

She didn't expect Bu Yan to be so quick and cut off ties with the Rong family in the fastest time.

She owed Bu Yan another favor.

Bu Yan raised his teacup towards her and said, "Princess, you don't have to thank me. I also took the opportunity to avenge my personal vengeance in the Rong family case."

Lu Jingning raised his eyebrows.

"I report to the emperor that Princess Shen is holding two palace-protecting pills in her hand." Bu Yan has followed Emperor Nanliang for many years and has long figured out his thoughts.

Even though the Helian family has not been implicated now, it is like a thorn in the heart of Emperor Nanliang, not to mention the thick stack of banknotes.

It was so easy to make hundreds of thousands of taels, which shows how much wealth is hidden behind the scenes.

In the past, the Emperor of Southern Liang supported the Crown Prince on the surface, but was secretly on guard against him, fearing that he would overstep his authority. But now, the seemingly low-key Prince Shen has enormous wealth in private, forms cliques for personal gain, and is active and active, making him far more dangerous than the Crown Prince!

Lu Jingning smiled and asked seriously, "Master Bu, you have done so much, aren't you worried that the emperor will find out one day? This is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Bu Yan explained: "What the emperor really cares about is whether there is a threat to the throne. I, a chess piece, will never be a threat."

Hearing this, Lu Jingning's eyes moved slightly: "Since this is the case, why not add fuel to the fire?"

Looking at the innocent smile on the little girl in front of him, Bu Yan smiled dotingly: "Why not?"
