Chapter 92: Tie Him Up! (1st Update)
In front of it is a lotus pond, and there are still wisps of smoke in the sky above the rose garden, and the smell of burnt wood is in the air. There are many trees outside the Rose Garden, and many of them are affected.
The wooden plank road is full of water stains, and lotus leaves and branches are messy. Last night, everyone fetched water from the lotus pond to put out the fire, and they were busy all night.
Zhao Chen walked in front of her, cleaning the branches and leaves on the plank road with his sword, and the guards who followed him wanted to go up to clean up, but he stopped him.
Han Youning followed behind and walked slowly.
He did everything for her personally, never pretending to others, and every gift he gave her was made by himself, with hairpins and beads.
But she is just a young lady of the Chen family now, not a phoenix, so why should he be so caring.
Wang Shaoqing of Dali Temple was already waiting on the other side, and when he saw that the prince personally swept the ground for the lord of Zhaoping County, his eyes flashed with surprise.
He didn't know what kind of person the prince was before, but recently the prince stayed in Dali Temple every day to preside over the case, and he saw too much of the prince's iron and blood, and he was only frightened.
The garrison of Yuming Mansion who was escorted into Beijing was severely tortured and interrogated, and the prince personally supervised the punishment.
Even the prefect of Yuming Mansion, who had only been here for a few days, was tortured to the point that he was not human.
These officials of Dali Temple have seen a lot of life and death, and their hearts have been ground cold. But the prince's heart and methods are much more ruthless than them!
But the eldest lady of the Chen family has to be treated like this by the prince! Looking at the appearance of the prince, his eyebrows and eyes are peaceful, and he gently reminds him from time to time.
On the other hand, the eldest lady of the Chen family was very cold and calm, and she did not look flattered at all.
He didn't dare to come forward to disturb, and waited for Zhao Chen and them to come ashore, and he gave up his hands respectfully.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, kerosene has been sprinkled in the rose garden, and judging from the traces of the scene, there are at least two large barrels."
Zhao Chen walked forward with his hands in his hands, "Go on."
Wang Shaoqing asked Han Youning to go first, and seeing that she was parallel to the crown prince, he followed Zhao Chen on the other side and replied, "In this way, it is unreasonable to say that those two are thieves. Thieves don't steal with kerosene cans."
Zhao Chen said, "Well, that's the truth."
Han Rui, who was helpless at the end, hurriedly trotted forward a few steps, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people think that the thieves stole the kerosene in the mansion......
Zhao Chen said lightly, "The thieves are seeking money, and they went to great lengths to steal two barrels of oil in the Dingguo Mansion where there are many masters, just to set fire to them, and put their lives into it, who will believe Second Master Han's words?"
Han Rui sneered.
Yes, he didn't believe it himself!
When I arrived at the Rose Garden, it was already a ruined and miserable place, with sewage flowing on the ground and muddy.
Zhao Chen's face was gloomy, "They really made a dead hand."
He turned his head to look at Han Youning, his phoenix eyes constricted, and his expression was uncertain.
Han You stood there quietly, as calm as if it wasn't her who experienced life and death last night.
A ginkgo biloba fluttered down and landed right on her head, like a small gold fan, dotting her plain bun.
He raised his hand and wanted to take the leaf, but as soon as Han Youning turned his head, the leaf slipped from the bun and fell into the black mud.
Zhao Chen withdrew his hand and clutched his empty hand.
Wang Shaoqing's echo broke the brief silence, "Your Highness said yes."
There were two corpses lying on the ground on the side of the road, and Duan Yi stood next to them and guarded them, not leaving an inch from last night to now.
Wang Shaoqing lifted the white cloth on the corpse, squatted down and unfolded the right hand of one of them, "Your Highness, you see, the deceased's right hand is a thick cocoon, which is caused by holding a sword for many years. If you are not a professional swordsman, you can't grind such a thick cocoon."
He opened the man's mouth again, and pulled out a red pill from his mouth, "This is poison, bite it and kill instantly." This is clearly the style of the dead, who are here to kill."
Zhao Chen's eyes flashed with anger, and he said coldly, "Tie up Han Rui!"
"Yes!"
The guards of the Prince's Mansion stepped forward and tied Han Rui up in an instant.
Han Rui's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "There is no evidence, Your Highness is acting arbitrarily like this!"
Zhao Chen sneered, "Dealing with a grass farmer alone, you don't have to bother asking for any credentials. Lord Wang, treat Gu well!"
Wang Shaoqing was shocked by this sudden change, the prince's words were a little arrogant, aren't you afraid that Dingguo Gong will be annoyed?
Although the spearhead of the matter is now pointed at the people inside the Dingguo Mansion, it is not necessarily Han Rui!
Their Dali Temple has always used the law to convince people, how can they detain people for no reason!
Wang Shaoqing arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty obeys the order."
He turned his head and waved his hand to the guards of Dali Temple, "Han Rui intended to murder the county lord, and his words were rampant to offend the prince and bring him back to the Dali Temple prison!"
"Yes!"
The guards of Dali Temple stepped forward to pull this Han Rui, pulled him and left, and he was not polite at all.
Han Rui turned around and shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really none of the grass people's business!"
In the whole house, he is the most innocent!
When he saw that the prince ignored him, he shouted again, "County lord, county lord, you help me intercede, we are relatives!"
Han Youning looked at him coldly, "Second master, rest assured, Dali Temple is a place to reason."
Han Rui has been in the military department for more than ten years, and often deals with Dali Temple, where does he not know the darkness there?
That's clearly the place to reason with a whip!
Zhao Chen stood beside Han Youning and said, "Now that the Rose Garden is gone, you and Zhao Xiang'er are familiar with each other, why don't you go to Chengjun Wangfu to stay with her for a few days first."
Han Youning shook his head, "I'm not leaving."
This is her home, why should she go.
It is the doves who occupy the magpie's nest and push the young finches off the trees.
Zhao Chen wrinkled his eyebrows, "You were lucky enough to dodge once, but you may not be able to dodge every time."
Han Youning gathered his cloak, "Then come on."
She crossed Zhao Chen and walked back.
Zhao Chen looked at her straight back and rubbed his fingers lightly.

Outer House Chamber.
Han Qingwan knelt in front of Zhao Yin and cried so much that pear blossoms rained, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrested his father indiscriminately, and he clearly wanted to put him to death. Ask His Royal Highness the Third Prince to save his father, my father is just a literati, and he definitely doesn't dare to do that kind of evil thing of killing people and setting fires! That's murder...... O living people! Where would anyone dare to do such a thing!"
Zhao Yin leaned over and persuaded her, "What's the matter, you get up first."
He was also surprised that the prince acted like this, and the prince's resolute methods became more and more similar to his father.
Han Qingwan refused to get up, and continued to cry, "In a place like Dali Temple, where are the people who go in and come out. Your Royal Highness is the most benevolent and righteous, and the prince is friendly with you, and he will definitely give you face!"
Zhao Yin also gave up persuading her to get up, bowed his head and asked her, "That fire, is it really a thief?"
Han Qingwan looked at Zhao Yin in disbelief, "Your Highness is suspicious of the little girl?"
Zhao Yin said in a deep voice, "It's really too much of a coincidence."
"Your Highness, think about it, if those heads are not innocent, how can the mother let the little girl take it to Qingchun Tower."
Han Qingwan raised her head sadly, "Now that the county lord is unscathed, and my father is in prison again, doesn't His Highness think it's strange?"
