Xu Si made no move.

Gong Yu immediately ordered the jailer next to him to pour water directly into it.

Feeling chilled by the cold water, Xu Si opened his eyes suddenly.

"Master Xu, you are finally awake."

Hearing the female voice, Xu Si turned around and saw Ye Lan standing there. He was shocked for a moment, and then saw Gong Yu standing behind Ye Lan.

His brain couldn't figure out why Ye Lan and Gong Yu appeared in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for the moment.

"you……"

Yelan didn't give him a chance to wake up, and sneered on his lips, "If you are in the mood to care about me, Mr. Xu should be concerned about his own situation."

Xu Si did not go into the relationship between Yelan and Gong Yu. Today, Yelan appeared in front of him just to get some words from her, "Girl, please save it. Your Ye family has been targeted for a long time. Without me Xu Si , there will also be Li Si, Wang Si...I'm just following the trend."

"Really? But the people who are colluding with you now have no intention of saving you."

"Oh, I'm very scared. How can I be afraid of these few words from you? The big girl is still too young. I, Xu Si, have been in the officialdom for many years and have countless tricks in my hands. They dare not not save me."

"Master Xu has a lot of skills in the officialdom." Yelan said, "But why do you guarantee that these people will save you? You see, now several people from the family sect have been killed, and no one who colluded with you has been seen. Change out."

Xu Si's face paled slightly, it was obvious that Yelan had spoken to his heart.

Ye Lan raised his head, suddenly grasped the railing with his hand, and said with a smile: "However, Master Xu and I have no grudges. If Master Xu answers a few questions, I can save your life."

"You, save me?" Xu Si didn't believe it.

At this time, Ye Lan reasonably grabbed Gong Yu's wrist and forced him to his side, "I can appear in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment today. Don't you understand?"

Gong Yu glanced at Ye Lan helplessly.

But he still cooperated with Yelan's actions and did not show his reluctance.

"You, he..." Xu Si looked at Ye Lan, then at Gong Yu, and finally gave an affirmative answer, "You want to seize the legitimate son."

"So, does Mr. Xu believe in my abilities now?"

Xu Si was struggling.

If it were a single night, Xu Si would never believe it, but with Gong Yu here, it does have some credibility.

Gong Yu may not have much power, but his majesty's honor and favor is beyond the reach of the other three princes.

Seeing Xu Si's tangled look, Ye Lan glanced at Gong Yu, and was a little glad that Gong Yu came with her. It was useful to look at faces, otherwise she would have to waste more time talking.

"How's it going? What do you think, Mr. Xu?"

After a brief silence, Xu Si finally made up his mind.

"Tell me, what's the problem."

Yelan crossed his arms at this time, looked at Xu Si's face with a little scrutiny, and asked: "Where did the batch of grain and grass that suddenly disappeared at the border go?"

"!!!" Xu Si's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Lan in shock.

Yelan looked at his incredible look and said amusedly: "Why, is it so hard to think of such a thing?"

"I don't know what you are talking about." Xu Si restrained his rude expression and gritted his teeth and said, "I am far away in the temple about border affairs. What can I know?"

"Stop lying, do you really think I'm stupid?" Yelan raised his voice, "Do you think that now that the border war is getting serious, the missing batch of food will disappear with the death of the lieutenant general?"

Xu Si closed his eyes tightly and said, "I don't know anyway."

Laughing at Xu Si's refusal to answer, Ye Lan shook his head, and suddenly punched the railing hard. The railing shook violently, and the wind of the fist made a huge sound.

Xu Si was frightened by the fierceness in Ye Lan's eyes and crawled back until he was against the wall.

"Such a large amount of food needs to be transported out urgently. Without the help of people from the imperial court, do you think it is possible?" The murderous intent in Ye Lan's eyes seemed to have turned into a sharp sword that could pierce Xu Si's chest.

Xu Si was really scared, but he persisted and said: "Girl, if you want to solve the case so much, what's the use of coming to me? Go to His Majesty and ask people from Dali Temple to help you. Anyway, I have nothing to say!"

"is it?"

Yelan stared into Xu Si's eyes and suddenly smiled, his murderous intention disappearing without a trace, "But I have already got the answer I want."

Xu Si was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Lan in surprise.

He didn't reveal anything just now, what could Ye Lan know?

"Master Xu, you are really not smart. Otherwise, when I asked you where the grain and grass went, you should have told me categorically that this batch of grain and grass had already been pocketed and became the oil and water in the belly of you traitorous ministers."

Yelan shrugged, "But you didn't. Instead, you pretended to be calm and said you didn't know anything. To cover up, doesn't this just tell me that this batch of food and grass is somewhere now?"

"Let me think about it, this batch of grain and grass was originally supplied to the border garrison, which can at least support an army of [-] people. Now that you have stolen it, there is only one possibility besides exchanging money, to feed private soldiers!"

"Master Xu, Master Xu, I really didn't expect you to be so courageous! You are trying to seek power and usurp the throne!"

Xu Si's face turned completely pale, and he could no longer say another word.

Ye Lan smiled and said, "Why don't you speak?"

Xu Si really didn't expect that Ye Lan would be able to think of this just by the disappearance of a piece of food.

"Oh, by the way, I have one more piece of advice for Mr. Xu."

Yelan said, "I didn't deliberately hide my whereabouts when I came here this time. What do you think the people outside would think if they knew that the eldest girl from the Ye family had seen you in the prison?"

They would be afraid that Xu Si would stab them in the back in order to survive.

He was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were as big as bells, "You...you bitch, you never wanted to let me live from the beginning to the end, you just came here to deceive me!"

She didn't care about Xu Si's insults, but Gong Yu frowned beside her.

Ye Lan laughed in a low voice and said, "You can't blame me. Who told you, the Ministry of Revenue, not to leave a way for my Ye family to survive? Then I would have to be ruthless."

Xu Si regretted that at first, he thought Ye Lan was just asking him who the person who harmed his Ye family was, but he didn't expect that she actually asked about the batch of food that no one cared about!

He cursed Yelan crazily, but she was too lazy to listen to a word, glanced at him, turned around and left the prison.

When Gong Yu went out, he passed by the jailer who was guarding him. Hearing those nasty words, his eyes were filled with coldness and he said, "Cut out his tongue."

The jailer nodded quickly, "Yes."

Ye Lan was waiting for Gong Yu to come out in front of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but he heard an extremely miserable scream.

She recognized Xu Si's voice and looked puzzled at Gong Yu, who came out of the prison clean and tidy, "Did you do something?"

"Okay, don't dirty your ears, I'll take you back." Gong Yu said nonchalantly.
