Guan Ning nodded heavily: "I understand."

"Thank you!" He was no longer nonchalant but extremely serious.

Pei Nan then smiled again: "Brother Guan is an understanding man, I don't need to say more, just know it."

Guan Ning took a sip of tea and nodded again, ending this sensitive topic. Then he suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Brother Pei, I have something I would like to ask you for help with. I wonder if it would be convenient?"

He grinned, clearly being incredibly thick-skinned, yet pretending to be embarrassed.

Pei Nan laughed and teased: "You've already said it out, and you still say it's inconvenient?"

"Tell me, as long as it doesn't violate the principles, I will help you."

"Okay, Brother Pei is straightforward!"

"Then I'll be frank. I need a prisoner's file." Guan Ning said.

"Who?"

"Former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Chang Shoufang." Guan Ning did not forget the agreement with Lou Xinyue. He needed Lou Xinyue to help him deal with Master Jia.

When these words came out, Pei Nan frowned, as if he knew this person.

"Chang Shoufang?"

"What do you want his files for?"

"This is a long story. I know he is a criminal involved in treason, but don't worry, I just want a detailed file of the case he is involved in. I won't ask you to help me do anything else." Guan Ning said.

Pei Nan said: "This is not a difficult thing."

"But..." Her eyes turned a little serious: "But I must remind you, this person is no small matter, imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and is a serious criminal of His Majesty. Don't act recklessly!"

"Your Yipintang does have some capabilities, but they are not enough to fight against the imperial machinery."

Guan Ning grinned, looking harmless.

"Hahaha, do you think I'm such a fool?"

"To tell you the truth, this person was wrongly accused. I'm trying to find a way to redress his wrongdoing."

Pei Nan's eyes suddenly became strange. The more he looked at Guan Ning, the more he couldn't see through him. "This is not an easy job. The downfall of important figures in the court is often due to internal strife."

"Have you thought it through?"

"It seems that this person has no relationship with your Guan family, right?"

Guan Ning naturally couldn't tell anyone about what happened between him and Lou Xinyue, so he just laughed and said, "I like to stand up for the weak and do what is right."

Pei Nan rolled his eyes. Only a fool would believe such words, but he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he stood up.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to find it."

"It won't be long before we get it."

"Okay, Brother Pei is so righteous!" Guan Ning was overjoyed. You know, for a treason of Chang Shoufang's level, the case files are not visible to ordinary people, and if they want to help him exonerate himself, the case files are the only entry point.

Seeing this, Pei Nan's eyes flickered and he wondered in his heart, is this guy really going to help Chang Shoufang redress his wrongdoing?

What kind of person is he? He kills people and even executes people, and now he wants to seek justice for wronged officials... He kept looking back secretly, becoming more and more curious about Guan Ning and wanting to uncover his true face.

"..."

Just under three hours later, it was noon.

The sun is shining brightly, making the entire lake reflect a variety of colors.

"This is a copy. The original is kept in the palace and no one can touch it. But don't worry, it's definitely exactly the same." Pei Nan handed it over.

Guan Ning was shocked!

“So fast??”

Pei Nan smiled, his teeth looking unrealistically white.

"Brother Guan, how can I not rush to do what you asked me to do?"

"Hahaha!" Guan Ning laughed and took it. "Brother Pei, I'm grateful for your kindness. We have a very strong relationship. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I, Guan Ning, will be there whenever you call!"

As he spoke, he put his hand on Pei Nan's shoulder and put his arm around his shoulder.

Suddenly, the whole audience was shocked!

His men's eyes were about to fall out and they couldn't help but step forward.

Pei Nan's reaction was even more dramatic. He was like being struck by lightning. He even trembled and quickly dodged. His eyes flickered violently, and he seemed a little at a loss.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Guan Ning looked confused.

"No, nothing." Pei Nan forced a smile, exhaled a breath of foul air, and changed the subject: "Brother Guan, I think it's time for lunch. Why don't we have a couple of drinks?"

"Okay!" Guan Ning agreed immediately.

Pei Nanchong gave his men a look, and they quickly went to prepare.
