Chapter 300 Then I will grant your wish, young master.
If he is spared, the Xiang family will definitely spare no expense, even dispatching a large number of assassins to storm the death row.
"Once it gets to the point of mutual destruction, how will you, the Imperial Envoy of Qin, handle the situation?"
At this point, Mi Yueyao stood up, her slender waist swaying slightly, and walked to Zhang Fan's side, her breath sweet as orchids:
"Once he's dead, all the subsequent troubles and clues will be completely cut off. With no one to testify, not only will the young master have a perfect explanation with the Qin court, but the Xiang family will also be powerless!"
"certainly……"
A sly glint flashed in Mi Yueyao's eyes. "If you insist on continuing this investigation, I left some hidden marks when cleaning up the scene. All the clues left behind will point to the Xiang family of Kuaiji County in Jiangdong!"
"The Xiang family wanted to use me, Ji Honglou, as a scapegoat, so I'll give them a way to ensure they have no evidence against me. Do you think there's anything wrong with my actions, young master?"
After listening to Mi Yueyao's watertight, even self-satisfied, analysis...
Zhang Fan was so angry he laughed.
"What a convenient excuse! A perfect example of 'dead men tell no tales'! And what a self-inflicted disaster!"
Zhang Fan straightened up, his anger turning into a forced laugh. Looking at the self-righteous woman in front of him, he felt a deep headache coming on.
He admitted that Mi Yueyao's methods were indeed swift and efficient!
But this woman's way of thinking is completely that of a notorious gangster!
She had no idea how terrifying the Qin state apparatus could be when it was in operation, nor did she understand what political maneuvering was!
Don't you think you're being too arrogant?
Zhang Fan looked at her coldly, bluntly shattering her illusions: "You think that by killing Xiang Tao and leaving some clues pointing to the Xiang family, you can make Xiang Liang suffer in silence? You think you're helping me clear my name?"
"Do you know that death row is the bottom line of the Great Qin? Someone can kill and silence witnesses at will in the Great Qin's death row. What does that mean? It means that Changzi County is practically a mere formality!"
Believe it or not, once this secret report reaches Xianyang, His Majesty won't care about the Xiang family of Jiangdong at all. Instead, he'll immediately issue an edict ordering the Black Ice Guard to thoroughly investigate all the local bullies in Changzi County, preferring to kill a thousand innocent people rather than let one guilty person go free!
"not to mention!"
Zhang Fan took a step closer, his tone icy, "Xiang Liang isn't stupid! If Xiang Ta dies in Changzi County, the Xiang family won't back down; on the contrary, they'll distance themselves even faster!"
Zhang Fan's rebuke was scathing, every word piercing to the heart.
The smile on Mi Yueyao's face gradually froze.
She originally thought she could help Zhang Fan solve a big problem, but she never expected that she would stir up such a huge hornet's nest.
Zhang Fan looked at her slightly pale face and didn't say anything more.
This woman dared to mobilize people to kill people in the death row of the Great Qin without his consent.
She's incredibly audacious. If he continues to leave her in Shangdang County, Zhang Fan has no idea what stupid things she might do tomorrow that could cost him his head!
We must keep this time bomb with us at all times and keep a close eye on it!
I've figured this out!
Zhang Fan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
Without saying a word, he walked straight to the armchair next to him and sat down quietly.
He picked up the slightly cooled tea from the table and gazed silently at the night outside the window.
The room fell into a deathly silence.
Seeing Zhang Fan's unusual calmness, Mi Yueyao felt a strange unease rise in her heart.
"Young Master Zhang..." Mi Yueyao bit her red lips, just about to speak to break the strange silence.
Just then!
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
A series of neat and uniform footsteps suddenly came from downstairs at Ji Honglou and spread up the stairs!
These are definitely not the footsteps of ordinary onlookers or guards of Ji Honglou!
Followed by.
From the lobby on the first floor came the madam's terrified scream, followed by a sharp shout:
"By order of the Imperial Envoy! Completely seal off Ji Honglou! Everyone, put your hands on your heads and squat down. Anyone who dares to resist in the slightest will be killed on the spot!"
Listen to the chaotic noise coming from outside the door!
Mi Yueyao's face turned pale instantly. She turned around abruptly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhang Fan, filled with shock, confusion, and anger.
"What are you going to do?"
Mi Yueyao coldly stood up and questioned, "You led troops to surround Ji Honglou? Are you trying to use me as a sacrifice to claim credit?!"
Facing Mi Yueyao's murderous gaze, Zhang Fan slowly put down his teacup.
He looked up at the tigress in front of him, her fur standing on end, shook his head helplessly, and gave a bitter smile.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Fan stood up, looked directly into Mi Yueyao's eyes, and said, word by word, "Of course, I'll save you!"
"Help me?"
Mi Yueyao laughed in fury, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, "Surrounding me with the Qin army, is this how you save me?"
"Otherwise what?"
Zhang Fan sighed, took a step forward, and said, "You woman, you're too bold, too ruthless, and you act entirely on your own chivalrous impulses. Don't you like to act on your own? Don't you keep shouting about restoring your kingdom?"
"If I leave you here in Shangdang County, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, you'll eventually cause a huge mess in the sky!"
The Xiang family must have their eyes on you now. If I don't make a move, within three days, the Jiangdong assassins will pounce on Ji Honglou like mad dogs!
Zhang Fan shook his head helplessly.
"Now that I'm on your pirate ship, I'm not going to just stand by and watch you go to your death."
"Therefore, keeping you here is too disruptive. Only by keeping you under my watchful eye will the Great Qin's Black Ice Guard not investigate you further, and Xiang Liang's assassins dare not approach you!"
At this point, Zhang Fan stretched out his hand, pointed at Mi Yueyao, and said calmly:
"Mi Yueyao, you're under arrest!"
After listening to Zhang Fan's words...
Mi Yueyao stood there, her intelligence unmatched, and she naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Zhang Fan's words.
It may seem like imprisonment, but it's actually a form of self-control!
On his increasingly cold face, the ice and snow quietly melted away.
Mi Yueyao looked at the man in front of her, her heart churning with turmoil, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
Is it touching? Or is it helplessness?
Or is it a subtle, indescribable flutter of excitement?
"Bang!"
Just then, the door to the private room on the top floor was kicked open violently.
The gleaming spears and sharp swords were instantly pointed at Mi Yueyao inside the house.
"My lord! Ji Honglou has been completely taken over! Please give the order!" The general leading the team said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
Seeing the soldiers breaking down the door, Mi Yueyao neither resisted nor tried to escape.
She slowly released the short blade from her sleeve, completely relaxing.
Meeting Zhang Fan's complex gaze, she suddenly smiled, a smile as bright and beautiful as a blooming peony, even carrying a touch of girlish coquettishness and submissiveness.
"Since you've gone to such lengths to get me to go with you..."
Mi Yueyao bowed slightly, performing an impeccable and graceful ancient bow, and said softly, "Then this concubine will grant your wish, young master."
