Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

An hour had already passed in the Flower House, with Zhang Jingwei and the others still discussing their strategy. While the troops would have been sufficient to kill Han Ye immediately, Gao Fei could have easily managed the task with just one bow. However, Zhang Jingwei later changed his mind and decided to publicly execute Han Ye. This meant not only could they not harm the princess, but they could also not harm anyone else. Retrieving Han Ye from Yunzhou was a near-fatal mistake, and these individuals were likely facing a near-fatal escape.

Biao Heizi yelled in confusion, "Killing Han Ye is the same no matter where you go. Why do we have to bring him back? It's such a hassle!"

Zhang Jingwei on the side shook his head and analyzed calmly: "That's very different, Biao Heizi. If you kill Han Ye outside of Yunzhou, you will probably become a wanted criminal immediately. However, if you choose to eliminate him within Yunzhou, although he will also be a wanted criminal, this time the prefect and his men will find it difficult to escape responsibility. Moreover, there is another possibility. If Han Ye can be killed at the execution ground in Yunzhou, then these adults present will directly become your accomplices. By then, even if they want to distance themselves from this matter, it will be impossible!"

Commander Li nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and said in agreement, "Brother Zhang is absolutely right. As long as we can trap these officials in this situation, they will naturally use all their tricks."

However, Yi Feiyu frowned and said worriedly, "But if this happens, we'll inevitably suffer a lot of casualties!"

When Biao Heizi heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted viciously, "What are you afraid of? In my opinion, we should just go all out and kill them all. As long as the news doesn't get out, then there will be no problem!"

At this moment, Gao Fei, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke, but after thinking about it, he wrote with a pen: "Only kill Han Ye, don't hurt innocent people!" These few short words showed that he agreed with Zhang Jingwei's idea, and naturally no one else said much.

Commander Li frowned slightly, looked at Zhang Jingwei solemnly, and asked slowly, "Brother Zhang, what exactly do you need me to do?"

A cunning look flashed in Zhang Jingwei's eyes. He lowered his voice and said to Commander Li, "Brother Li, tomorrow your Imperial Guards only need to find a way to delay those adults. They must not be able to escape and interfere with our actions. The most crucial point is to make sure they can witness the entire process of Han Ye's execution with their own eyes!" At this point, Zhang Jingwei's tone became increasingly gloomy.

……

Inside the hotel.

After the censor finished writing the memorial, he handed it to the post office. When he returned to the lobby of the post office, he found that Commander Li was gone. He couldn't help but ask, "Where is Li Can?"

The guard, looking somewhat nervous, bowed and replied to the censor, "Your Excellency, the commander has taken him out. He said he's going to meet a friend!"

Hearing this, the Imperial Censor snorted coldly, his face showing anger as he rebuked, "Hmph! As a commander, you are so negligent in your duties! How disgraceful!"

At this moment, a staggering sound of footsteps came from afar, and then Commander Li staggered in, drunkenly, mumbling, "Uncle..."

Upon seeing this, the Imperial Censor frowned, his expression growing even darker as he sternly shouted, "When you're doing your job, you should behave according to your official duties! How can you be so rude!"

After being yelled at by the Censor, Commander Li instantly regained his composure. He quickly stood up straight and replied respectfully, "Yes! Your Excellency the Censor! I admit my mistake!"

Seeing Commander Li's attitude of admitting his fault, the censor gave up and could only sigh and waved his hand, saying, "Follow me up!"

Commander Li nodded and followed him upstairs obediently.

As soon as he arrived at the room and sat down, the censor asked directly: "You had a pleasant conversation with Zhang Jingwei this morning. Do you know who he is?"

Commander Li stood straight and said solemnly, "Sir, this man is a scholar, and a student of Yunzhou's government academy. He is knowledgeable and talented."

The censor frowned slightly and asked, "What else?"

Commander Li quickly bowed and replied, "Your Excellency, this man has made great contributions in capturing the bandit general. He is truly a hero!"

The censor stroked his beard and continued to ask, "Is that all?"

Commander Li pondered for a moment before continuing, "Sir, this man is not only generous and magnanimous, but also thoughtful and considerate. More importantly, he cares deeply about the people and is wholeheartedly dedicated to their well-being... He is a good man!"

After hearing this, the censor's face became solemn, and he slowly said: "Even so, he is still Huangfu Changshui's son-in-law after all! Now the situation is turbulent, the forces of all parties are complicated, and the relationship between us and the vassal party is extremely delicate. You must not make friends with their people easily, so as not to get into trouble..." Then, the censor talked incessantly about the current situation and the interests involved.

Commander Li ignored the words but replied respectfully, "Yes, I understand!"

The censor spoke earnestly to Commander Li, "Can'er, your father entrusted you to me in the hope that you would study hard and broaden your horizons. Although you don't need to take the imperial examinations to gain a high degree of rank, if you want to gain a foothold in the officialdom in the future, you must have some means to protect yourself."

Commander Li nodded solemnly and responded, "I understand. Can'er will definitely remember the good intentions of father and uncle and will never forget them!"

The censor nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Well, good then, go sober up first. I'll test your homework later."

When Commander Li heard this, he was immediately surprised and exclaimed, "Huh?!"

Seeing this, the imperial censor's smile softened and he urged, "What are you still standing there for? Go quickly."

Commander Li replied helplessly, "Yes!" Then he turned around and left quickly.

……

In the evening, Gao Fei and others split into two groups and disguised themselves as cavalry to leave the city gate.

At the same time, Han Ye was also taken away by Wang Lian, but the situation was too arrogant. More than 20 people and three carriages drove out of the city from the main road of Yunzhou City.

When Zhang Jingwei saw Han Ye sleeping soundly in the prison van in the brothel, he clenched his teeth and clenched his hands.

Ningxiang asked coquettishly, "Zhang Lang, what are you staring at there?"

Zhang Jingwei was startled when he heard the voice, then quickly waved his hand and said, "Nothing... Ningxiang, I brought so many people into this courtyard today, and it really caused you a lot of trouble!"

Ningxiang couldn't help but frown when she heard this, and said in feigned anger, "Oh, Zhang Lang, please don't talk like that. If you keep being so polite to me, I'll really get mad!"

Zhang Jingwei quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Don't be angry." Then he added, "But you can always let me say thank you."

Ningxiang couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard that, and responded in a sweet voice: "Hmph, what is there to thank me for? My man is a man with great ambitions and the ability to do great things. As a woman, I should naturally support him with all my strength." As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Jingwei affectionately, her eyes full of love.

Although he felt warm in his heart, Zhang Jingwei always felt something was wrong. It seemed that Huangfu Ling had also said such heartwarming words, and Huangfu Ling said, "Don't put yourself in danger."
