Chapter 140: Doubts
"I didn't expect that Wei Cuizhi was quite bold and dared to have a tryst with her lover in the academy." Nan Rongliang couldn't help but gossip.
"Is she bold, or her lover has other plans, who can say?" Xiahou Ying said quietly.
"You're saying there's something wrong with that Zhan Rong?" Nan Rongliang frowned and looked at Xiahou Ying.
"In order to help that Zhanrong find a good future, Wei Cuizhi did not hesitate to cling to Xiahou Yu, but unfortunately, after all, he was entrusted to him!" A cold glint flashed in Xia Houying's eyes.
"Zhan Rong is using Wei Cuizhi? What to use her? Nan Rongliang was puzzled.
"If the theft case is indeed related to Zhan Rong, then he asked Wei Cuizhi to meet that night because he wanted Wei Cuizhi to be an alibi witness for himself." Xia Houying analyzed.
"If he is found to have left his post without permission, he can push Wei Cuizhi out, so that he can prove his innocence, and he can also poke out the affair between himself and the daughter of the military department, so as to force the Wei family to accept him as a son-in-law, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." Xiahou Ying said disdainfully.
"However, if the test questions were really stolen by Zhan Rong, why did he do it? Although they can earn a sum of money, but those of them who are on duty that night cannot escape punishment, is it worth it? Nan Rong looked at Xiahou Ying in confusion.
"Then it depends on what you say, if someone promises him that after the matter is completed, he will not only not be implicated, but will also be able to soar, even if he takes a risk?" Xia Houying sneered.
"What do you mean...... Is there anyone behind Zhan Rong? Nan Rongliang looked at Xiahou Ying with some surprise.
"What's so strange about that? King Pingyuan didn't allow the prince to intervene in this matter, isn't it because he has long seen through the deep meaning behind this case? Xiahou Ying looked at Nan Rongliang with a smile.
Although it was only a few short words, Nan Rongliang couldn't help but re-examine the girl in front of him. Before, he always felt that the girl in front of him was just a utilitarian, scheming and self-righteous person. Now it seems that he underestimated her.
In such a short period of time, how can only a person who relies on cleverness to get to the top of the situation quickly figure out the key to the whole thing and the secrets behind it?
"Looks like you know a lot!" Although he had already looked at the person in front of him differently in his heart, Nan Rong still refused to show it on his cold face, but just said something indifferently.
"It's not that I know anything, it's just that the other party's intentions are too obvious." Xiahou Ying sneered, "First the Nanrong family, the Situ family, and now even the Xiahou family have been involved!" The other party is going to move the four major families! ”
Xiahou Ying's meaning, Nan Rongliang naturally understood, the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites that day was Qi Yiheng, who was born as a slave in the royal palace, and the only son of the Situ family who was suspected of stealing the topic was Situ Ji, and now this suspicious Zhanrong is the counselor of the city defense camp in charge of Xiahou Yan. Except for the Dugu family, none of the four major families were left behind, and all of them were involved!
"I'm afraid there are not many people in this world who can have a grudge with the three major families at the same time~" Nan Rongliang said coldly.
"But as long as there is such one, it is not easy for the three major families to compete with it, isn't it?" Xiahou Ying looked at Nan Rongliang.
"However, I think there is still some room for change in this matter, and it depends on whether His Royal Highness the Prince can do what I say." Xiahou Ying looked at Nan Rongliang with bright eyes, and said with a wicked smile.
