The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Yan Shuang looked at Xie Shuting's confident performance and knew in his heart that he had already been involved in the game invisibly.

In other words, both of them have been in the game since they were seconded to the Ministry of Punishment.

However, Zhao Zhen was still unwilling to give in, and asked angrily, "Save? How are you going to save him?"

Xie Shuting smiled and said, "Master Zhao has ordered all the attendants to escort Liu Qing and all the clues related to the case back to the capital, and you two must not follow the convoy. As for your safety, I will make arrangements myself."

Everyone present was smart, but when they heard Xie Shuting's remarks, they were inexplicably shocked.

Zhao Zhen looked at Xie Shuting with a strange expression and asked, "You mean they might kill us along the way?"

"It's not just a possibility, but a certainty." Xie Shuting said firmly, without any hesitation in her tone.

Zhao Zhen was shocked when he heard this and said, "Impossible! The Ministry of Punishment is directly under the government. If they were to fight with the Ministry of Punishment, it would be tantamount to treason. How dare they do that?"

Xie Shuting couldn't help but shook her head when she heard this. She also didn't know why the emperor wanted to make Zhao Zhen the crown prince given his personality, just because Zhao Zhen was his elder brother.

Although the Song Dynasty was established only a hundred years ago, the first two emperors were not succeeded by the eldest sons. It was obvious that the approach was to appoint the most capable rather than the eldest son.

But when she thought of the Second Prince's character, Xie Shuting couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She secretly said in her heart: "If I were Emperor Zhen of Song, I would really make Zhao Zhen the crown prince. After all, the Second Prince has too strong a murderous heart, which is really disadvantageous to the Song Dynasty."

Thinking of this, Xie Shuting raised her eyes and soothed him softly, "Why should you be angry, Mr. Zhao? This is not the first time that the Ministry of Punishment has been hunted down. Otherwise, how could they have been injured?"

Xie Shuting used the most gentle words, but said the most embarrassing thing, which made Zhao Zhen, who was originally slightly angry, blush even more and feel uncomfortable.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a little off, Yan Shuang hurriedly said, "Xie, Miss! This matter has passed, and Xiao Ke is fine."

"Fortunately, Kejun is fine. If there is any problem..."

When Xie Shuting said this, her tone suddenly changed. With a hint of fearlessness towards the king's power, she said in a cold voice, "I will personally go to Bianjing to meet your second brother and see what he wants to do."

With just this one glance, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but shudder. He once again felt the decisive and murderous majesty that belonged only to the Imperial Grandmother from Xie Shuting.

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his voice softened as he said, "Thank you, Miss! You said that my second brother attacked me on the way back to the city. Was it because the Ministry of Punishment exposed my whereabouts?"

Xie Shuting restrained her breath upon hearing this, and once again showed her graceful demeanor. The two were dumbfounded by her smooth transition.

Xie Shuting ignored the expressions of the two people, smoothed the hair beside her ears and said, "It's not because the Ministry of Punishment was exposed, but because you knew something you shouldn't know?"

"What is it that we shouldn't know?" Zhao Zhen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Yan Shuang pondered for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the five boxes in the room. He immediately understood and said, "Could it be that Liu Qing's matter is related to the Second Young Master?"

Xie Shuting nodded to confirm Yan Shuang's guess, and then said softly: "To be able to interfere in the Ministry of Justice, the other party must have some status. I don't know if it is the second young master you mentioned, but the other party is obviously coming for Liu Qing..., probably for the 50,000 strings of silver."

Fifty thousand strings of cash was out of reach for ordinary people, but for some third or fourth rank officials in the court, it was not impossible to get some if they squeezed a little.

It was Zhao Zhen's private treasury. He took out some rare treasures and pawned them, and it only took a few days to collect 50,000 strings of silver.

But Yan Shuang heard another meaning from Xie Shuting's words, that is, the 50,000 strings of silver should not be seen in public. This matter also involved the second prince, which made him have to speculate more.

Thinking of this, Yan Shuang did not choose to tell Zhao Zhen, but stood up and stroked his hand and said: "Thank you very much, Miss, for telling me the inside story. I wonder how Miss Xie will arrange it?"

Xie Shuting also stood up quickly, bowed and said, "It would be best if Mr. Zhao arranged for someone to bring the evidence and escort Liu Qing to the capital tomorrow. As for when the two of you will leave, I will send someone to inform you."

"Sorry to bother you, Miss Xie." Yan Shuang stroked his hand and said.

"Kejun's business is my business. As it is getting late today, you two should make preparations. I will take my leave first."

Xie Shuting bowed and saluted the two of them. When she turned around to leave, she saw Zhao Zhen still sitting upright and suddenly felt like playing something.

"Mr. Zhao! I heard that your family is a wealthy and powerful one, but your hospitality is a bit poor. You need to give them some advice in the future." After Xie Shuting said this, she led Lian Xi out of the government office.

Looking at Xie Shuting's back, Zhao Zhen was a little dazed for a moment, still thinking about the meaning of the other party's words.

Yan Shuang looked at Zhao Zhen's confused expression and shook his head helplessly, only to see a bitter smile appear on his face.

The living room was silent for a moment. Qi Yue bravely walked in slowly, stroked Zhao Zhen's hand and said, "Prince! Do you have any instructions?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Yan Shuang.

Seeing the other party nodded, he sighed helplessly and said, "Tomorrow you will take everyone and escort Liu Qing and all the evidence back to Bianjing."

"Ah!~"

Qi Yue was startled when he heard this, and said with a look of panic, "If the people from the Ministry of Punishment withdraw, then I'm afraid no one will be able to protect the prince's safety."

"safety?"

Zhao Zhen sneered, thinking back to what Xie Shuting had said before, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "When did you, the Ministry of Punishment, ever guarantee my safety?"

"But Prince! This matter..."

Qi Yue wanted to argue, but Yan Shuang raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Follow the prince's arrangements, and don't worry about other things. As for the prince's safety, there will naturally be someone to protect him."

Qi Yue raised his eyes, looked at Zhao Zhen's slightly angry face, and immediately bowed his head and said, "I obey your command. I will arrange it now."

Zhao Zhen looked at the five boxes in front of him, still furious, and said, "Kejun! Why do I feel like I've boarded Xie Shuting's pirate ship and am now being led by her by the nose?"

"Miss Xie is very thoughtful. If she really wanted to be the prince's enemy, she probably wouldn't just come and make friends with him so easily."

"Kejun! Can you please make her plan come to an end?"

Zhao Zhen's face was full of shock, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart and said, "If it weren't for her consideration for my safety, I would definitely not let this matter go so easily."

Yan Shuang smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, but he did not choose to expose Xie Shuting's actions. After all, from the perspective of Zhao Zhen's safety, Xie Shuting's approach was the most correct.

They used Liu Qing and 50,000 strings of silver to attract the enemy's firepower, while they escaped and returned to Bianliang.
