192 Brother
Lan Zhong bowed to Jiang Ying and Ning Yue in fear. Jiang Ying raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to be so polite.
âI think you know very well why Iâm here.â Jiang Ying couldnât be bothered to waste his breath on him and told him why he was here.
Lan Zhong wanted to say that he didnât know, but when he met Jiang Yingâs gaze, he swallowed the answer.
âI wonder if Lord Heir is here for Meng Hang?â Lan Zhong asked.
!!
âSince you know, tell me everything you know,â Jiang Ying said.
Lan Zhong sighed and struggled for a while before telling Jiang Ying everything he knew.
It turned out that Meng Hang had thoughts of rebellion.
Hearing the word rebellion, Jiang Yingâs eyelids twitched.
âLan Zhong, let me tell you. The rebellion is very serious. If itâs true, youâll have made a great contribution. If itâs fake, your entire family will be executed.â Jiang Ying said to Lan Zhong solemnly with a straight face.
Lan Zhong swallowed and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead before replying, âWhat I said might not be true. I learned it from Madam Lin. As for the evidence, I might need the two of you to find it yourselves.â
It turned out that the two princes were the ones who had rebelled with Meng Hang.
However, Prince Ning and Prince Qi had already been arrested. Why hadnât Meng Hang been investigated?
Jiang Ying and Ning Yue looked at each other and did not say anything else. They continued to listen to Lan Zhong.
He said a lot about Meng Hang, making them dizzy.
It wasnât that they didnât understand, but there were too many things to think about.
It wasnât easy for them to calm down when Lan Zhong finished speaking.
Jiang Ying did not say anything else. He only instructed Lan Zhong not to act rashly for the time being. âI know you want to save your son, but think about it carefully. Heâs the son of the Governor now, not yours. If you can cooperate with us, I might consider helping you save your son,â Jiang Ying said.
With Jiang Yingâs words, Lan Zhong was much more relieved. He immediately put on a smile and said to Jiang Ying, âIâll definitely cooperate. Donât worry, Iâll definitely tell you everything I know.â
With Lan Zhongâs assurance, Jiang Ying did not say anything else and left with Ning Yue.
Ning Yue thought speechlessly about the forced confession potions she had concocted. She had yet to use it. What a waste.
However, she could still save it for the next time.
âWhat are you thinking about?â Jiang Ying couldnât help but ask when he saw that she looked troubled.
âNothing. I was just wondering why it was so easy for Lan Zhong to confess. Does he want the governor dead too?â
According to the evidence, Lan Zhong had relied on Madam Linâs status in the Governorâs family to get to where he was today. Otherwise, how could an ordinary merchant have achieved this?
âThese things are a headache. Since we know that Meng Hang is plotting a rebellion, we have to find evidence from this angle. However, it doesnât seem like we can find it for now.â
With Meng Hangâs cautiousness, this evidence would definitely be in an unexpected place. They might not be able to find it.
âYueyue, what do you think of the place where Meng Hang might hide the evidence?â Jiang Ying asked.
Hearing Jiang Yingâs words, Ning Yue couldnât help but laugh. She replied, âItâs nothing. I think we should tear down his house and see what there is.â
In any case, the governorâs house would definitely be raided. There was no problem in demolishing it in advance.
âThatâs one way,â Jiang Ying said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
At this moment, a person who claimed to be Meng Lang asked to see him. Ning Yue and Jiang Ying looked at each other and saw confusion in each otherâs eyes.
Who was this person?
When she saw this person, she realized that he was not someone she knew. âWho are you?â Ning Yue asked.
âIâm Meng Hangâs younger brother, Meng Lang. I canât stand what my brother has done and have been looking for a way out. When I heard that the two nobles were here, I planned to come and try my luck,â Meng Lang said.
Meng Lang? Ning Yue frowned tightly. This person looked a little sloppy. What could he know?
âWhat do you know? Tell me,â Ning Yue said.
âI know thereâs something wrong with my brotherâs rockery,â Meng Lang said.
At the side, Jiang Ying remained silent. He remembered that none of the information he received after getting someone to investigate mentioned that Meng Hang had a younger brother.
Now, he suddenly had a younger brother. What was going on?
