Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Your Highness Prince An, Gu Qiongsi confessed in prison that the person who agreed to send the three guards to help her assassinate Hu Er was none other than Ding Si, the steward of Prince An's mansion." Yan Nangui said very seriously.

Li Junze was in a trance for a moment after hearing this. He almost thought that Yan Nangui came because of this matter.

However, the timing was so coincidental that he didn't believe that Yan Nangui came just for this.

"Just now, Lord Yan mentioned that he was following the order of the emperor to investigate the matter. So, have you reported the matter to the emperor?"

Li Junze didn't believe it at all. Such a small matter, neither Gu Qiongsi nor Hu Er could possibly alarm the emperor.

"Yes, because it involves Prince An's Mansion, I have to handle it carefully, so I wrote a special memorial and reported it to the emperor in person."

"What? You, you actually reported this to Father?" Li Junze asked in surprise. He opened his eyes wide and said unwillingly, "What did you report?"

"Report truthfully." Yan Nangui spoke briefly and to the point, and Lieutenant General Niu had to secretly give Lord Yan a thumbs up.

"Lord Yan hasn't come to any conclusion from the interrogation yet, how can I report the truth?" Li Junze's anger rose involuntarily, and his tone became stiff.

"Interrogation is a possible process, but it is not a necessary step. Some things can be known without interrogation. Is Your Highness Prince An going to interfere with my Dali Temple's investigation?"

Yan Nangui was still speaking slowly and steadily at this time, but his words were also filled with coldness.

"You..." Li Junze's next words were interrupted by Wen Jiaxiang's warning look. It was not appropriate for him to really break up with Yan Nangui now. After all, Gu Qiongsi and the others were still in his hands.

As for Wang Quan and Ji Huan, they didn't know what was going on at this moment.

"Lord Yan, your words are too polite. It's just that this matter involves Prince An's Mansion and I just want to know more about it." He adjusted his mood and continued to deal with Yan Nangui.

Seeing that his tone had softened, Yan Nangui knew that he must be feeling guilty, fearing that he had said something he shouldn't have.

"Your Highness Prince An is worrying too much. Please rest assured about what Yan does. I will never say anything I am not sure of. Everything I say is supported by evidence." After Yan Nangui finished speaking, Li Junze felt that he seemed to have said nothing.

He didn't say a word about what I asked.

"Your Highness Prince An, let's put the small talk aside for now. Let's not waste time here. There are still several people to be tried at the Dali Temple. Your Highness should be flexible."

Yan Nangui didn't want to deal with him anymore, so he handed the butler over to him first. After all, he didn't know what the butler's current condition was, and the longer he delayed, the more danger he would face.

"Lord Yan, it is really unfortunate that you came here. After I returned to the capital today, I arranged for the housekeeper to go out of the capital to handle some business. I have to ask Lord Yan to wait for a few more days." Li Junze replied.

"Your Highness, I don't believe what you said. Besides, since I was able to bring people to your house, it's impossible that I did it without a purpose. Someone saw the butler at the gate of Prince An's mansion more than half an hour ago. How come he has left the capital now?"

Yan Nangui knew that he would not hand the person over so easily, so he had to adopt a businesslike attitude.

"Since His Highness refuses to hand over the person, we have no choice but to do it ourselves." He said this and without waiting for Li Junze to react, the twelve or so burly guards behind him started to rush into the inner courtyard.

As a result, Li Junze was not unprepared. There was a circle of guards surrounding the outside of the back room, and the entire entrance was blocked.

"Lord Yan, this is Prince An's residence. It is not the turn of the people from the Dali Temple to act wildly here. You should go back. When the butler returns to the residence in a few days, the prince will personally take him to the Dali Temple for trial."

Li Junze spoke in a bad tone. Yan Nangui had always done things without any rules. No one expected that he would be so bold and presumptuous today and come to Prince An's Mansion to act wildly.

However, before he finished his words, Yan Nangui had already raised his hand, and the guards he brought with him quickly pulled out all their knives.

They were actually going to take action in Prince An's Mansion without caring about anything.

At this time, Sun Xingzhi walked into the back room from outside. He was also shocked to see the tense situation in front of him, but he still said to Li Junze tremblingly, "Your Highness, Master Wang is here."

Li Junze waved his hand, and his guards stepped back one after another. Yan Nangui had no choice but to ask his guards to put away their knives as well.

Sun Xingzhi must have realized that things were going to get bad, so he quickly ran to the Bachelor's Mansion to ask Wang Zhuo for advice.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhuo actually dragged his sick body and came to Prince An’s Mansion in person.

"Well, why are there so many people in the yard? Did I come at the wrong time?" Wang Zhuo walked in from the gate of the mansion with a smile on his face, and faced two groups of people who were on the verge of a showdown.

Li Junze and Yan Nangui saluted him together. Yan Nangui was the first to say, "Master Wang, it's been a long time since we last met. Is your health improving?"

"I'm sorry to have worried Lord Yan. I'm well now. I'm running to Prince An's Mansion to see my grandson in good health. Haha..." Wang Zhuo seemed to know nothing and joked with Yan Nangui with a smile.

"In that case, I will not bother you any further. Please tell your grandson, Master Wang, that obstructing the Dali Temple in handling a case is a serious crime in the Chu State."

"Yan Nangui, you...don't go too far." Li Junze didn't expect that Yan Nangui would not even give face to his grandfather and himself, and still insisted on taking the housekeeper away.

If someone said that he didn't know that the housekeeper was in trouble, he didn't believe it at all.

That is to say, besides the housekeeper, there are other people in the mansion who pass on information.

Thinking of this, Li Junze became even more irritated, but after taking a look at Wang Zhuo's soothing eyes, he had to shut up again.

"Hindering the Dali Temple from handling a case?" Wang Zhuo repeated in surprise, "What's going on? Why would Ze'er do such a thing?"

"Grandfather, Lord Yan said that there is a case that requires taking the steward of Prince An's Mansion to the Dali Temple for interrogation, but the steward has been sent out by Ze'er and will not be back for a few days. Lord Yan doesn't believe it and insists on bringing people to search for the person himself."

Li Junze's tone was full of grievance. Yan Nangui was really too bold. He didn't take him, His Royal Highness Prince An, seriously at all.

"How can the Dali Temple humiliate our dignified Anwang Mansion at will?"

Li Junze's additional sentence suddenly changed the nature of the conflict.
