Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

It has been almost two months since the incident on April 9th. My house arrest has been lifted, but I can't find out anything about their situation.

He couldn't even find out where Li Junhao had imprisoned the two of them. The key point was that he couldn't ask too many questions. After all, it was the two of them who took all the blame on themselves in the imperial study at that time.

Even if I kill him, I cannot show any hesitation.

"No, I can't just wait like this. I need to make some arrangements and go to the Scholar's Mansion."

Li Junze finally decided to visit his grandfather to see if he had any channels to find out the details.

However, when he arrived at the scholar's residence by carriage, Wang Zhuo was playing chess with a young man.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince An." The student quickly stood up and saluted Li Junze.

Li Junze looked closely and found that it was Sun Xingzhi, the third place winner of this year's imperial examination.

"Grandfather, are you guys... playing chess?" Li Junze asked in a relaxed tone, with a faint smile on his face.

He knew that his grandfather liked to see him always calm and not anxious, so over the years, he would habitually show this side of himself whenever he saw his grandfather.

Wang Zhuo's eyes did not leave the chessboard, but he said to Li Junze with a smile, "Ze'er, it's true that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward. Sun Tanhua's chess skills should not be underestimated."

Sun Xingzhi immediately bowed humbly, "Master Wang, thank you for your compliment. I appreciate it."

"Well, I have already used all my strength. There is no falsehood at all." Wang Zhuo raised his eyes at this time, and his gaze moved from Sun Xingzhi to Li Junze's face.

I have been taking care of this grandson for more than ten years, and I can see Li Junze's anxiety at a glance.

So, he reluctantly threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess basket, clapped his hands and stood up.

When Sun Xingzhi saw Wang Zhuo like this, he quickly found an excuse and retreated at the right time.

"Ze'er, what happened again?" Wang Zhuo thought in his heart that Li Junze had concealed his anxiety very well this time, but he saw that the expression on Li Junze's face at this time was completely unconcealed.

"Grandfather, haven't you heard the news yet? Suzhou Governor Jian Liangce has already entered the capital."

"Huh? When did this happen?" Wang Zhuo asked puzzledly. Although he had resigned and returned home, he still had his own information channels. How come he didn't hear any news at all this time?

"He came to Beijing this morning, and it is said that he brought several witnesses with him. Ze'er just heard about this matter." Li Junze couldn't wait to explain to him.

This matter could be a big or small matter. If they really have evidence to prove that those people who went to Beijing to file a complaint some time ago were bribed, then there is a great possibility that the things that I did at that time would be dug out by them.

That matter was planned by my grandfather, and all the instructions were carried out according to his wishes. So when Li Junze heard about this matter, the first person he thought of was his grandfather.

“Is the news reliable?” Wang Zhuo still found it hard to accept. He had just resigned from his post, so was the news so blocked?

"It's reliable. The news was passed on by the people guarding the city. He saw it with his own eyes. Li Junhao's people escorted them all the way here."

"Oh," Wang Zhuo's eyes suddenly became deep. Like Li Junze, he first thought of Wang Quan and Ji Huan in prison.

"There won't be any problems with the two of them, right?" Wang Zhuo meant that the two of them would not betray Li Junze in prison.

Li Junze was originally confident, but now he doesn't dare to guarantee it. "Grandfather, the two of them have been in prison for almost two months. Ze'er really doesn't dare to say if there is any problem."

Wang Zhuo nodded after hearing this. The two of them were not death warriors. They had families and weak spots, and there was no guarantee what would happen to them in prison.

"What about the others? Apart from these two, are there any survivors among those people we were looking for?"

"No, it's impossible. They were all dead at the time. Even the rewards promised to them were taken away in advance. There is not a trace left."

Li Junze can guarantee this, and all of this was arranged by him personally.

"If that's the case, it's actually easy to deal with." Wang Zhuo's voice was dry, and it took a long time for him to utter a word.

Li Junze pushed the tea toward his hand again, and then heard Wang Zhuo say, "Just stay calm and wait and see what happens."

After Wang Zhuo finished speaking, he took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then slowly continued, "As long as those two people don't say it themselves, no matter how they track it down, it's just speculation at best."

"But what if they can't bear the punishment and confess everything?"

Li Junze was naturally unwilling to sit back and watch. Over the years, this was the word he heard most often from his grandfather.

Ze'er, you have always been smart, but when something important happens, you become anxious and confused. You must strictly control this temper.

Wang Zhuo knew that he had said this many times, but he had to remind him again.

"If they confess everything in prison, then we won't have to do anything. We can only wait to be summoned."

Wang Zhuo's words made Li Junze feel helpless. How could his grandfather have the confidence to think that his father would not deprive him of the title of Prince An because of this matter?

After what happened in Xiangyang City and the Queen Mother's birthday party, he clearly felt that his father had become much colder towards him and his mother.

Although her house arrest has been lifted, her mother's title has not been restored and she is still just a concubine.

"Yes, but..."

"Okay, Ze'er, if that time really comes, you just need to understand one thing. You don't know anything about this matter at all. Everything was done by...grandfather."

Seeing that Li Junze was still worried, Wang Zhuo had to interrupt him.

Wang Quan and Ji Huan were trained by him. They were two excellent guards and had followed Li Junze for more than five years. Therefore, Wang Zhuo had always believed in his heart that the two of them would not betray Li Junze.

However, even if he thought so, he would still take action to deal with the two of them once the incident was over.

Li Junze's handle should not be held in the hands of others like this.

This thing should have been done earlier, but he still kept it a little cautious, worried that Li Junhao had set a trap for them to fall into.

So we have been waiting until now.
