Chapter 213 Should I Thank You Then?
Hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan subconsciously refused and said, "Wu Shiming may not ask me for help."
"Do you think the prince will help him? It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to help in times of trouble."
"Then why should I help him?" Xu Yuan asked back.
"Because you need him. At first, I didn't know why you wanted to get close to Wu Shiming. It wasn't until I found out about his direct dealings with the crown prince that I understood. Wu Shiming was born a gangster, but to be where he is today is enough to prove that he is a rare business genius. You need to get close to him, let him make money for you, and fulfill your promise to King Geshu."
Bei Yao knew about Xu Yuan and Wu Shiming's partnership.
Xu Yuan was very smart. He did not directly participate in Wu Shiming's business, but found a person from Geshu. In this way, the profits were split in half. The more Wu Shiming earned, the more food and grass the Geshu clan would have. Moreover, with Wu Shiming's ability, it was only a matter of time before he became rich.
The most important thing is that Wu Shiming is loyal.
Even if something goes wrong with Xu Yuan, Wu Shiming will definitely fulfill his promise to Xu Yuan.
As long as there is a supply of food and grass, nothing will happen to the family that made the wish.
Even if her wish to overturn the verdict fails, her family can still flee to Goshu for refuge.
Making a wish was a very good move.
Hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan's smile paused slightly.
She was able to plan everything out and handle things with ease because she had experienced it once.
But Beiyao is different.
He knew nothing, but with some information, he pieced together the whole truth and accurately guessed all her intentions.
"You're right. I do think so, but I'm also telling the truth. The person behind Wu Shiming is the prince. Over the years, he has met many powerful people. He won't think of me, and he won't put me in this dilemma."
If Wu Shiming wanted her help, he would have asked her early yesterday morning.
Wu Shiming didn't trust her or believe in her abilities.
"Since I can catch Xin San, it will be easy for Wu Shiming to notice you. You must want to know the true character of this person, right? I will help you try and solve your urgent problem. Just promise me one thing. This deal is worth it."
Bei Yao lured him slowly.
"Then should I thank you?" asked Xuyuan.
"It depends on whether you agree or not."
Xu Yuan did not say whether he agreed or not, but said, "Aren't you sleepy? Go to bed early."
"So will you make this deal?" Bei Yao asked.
"I will go to the Heavenly Prison tomorrow. We'll talk after I meet Xin San."
The wish was neither immediately granted nor immediately rejected.
Xin San is not worth saving. You have to meet him to know.
In her memory, there was no such person as Xin San.
She couldn't make judgments based on her own feelings.
"Okay, I'll let Chen He follow you tomorrow. If you need anything, just tell him."
Xuyuan nodded, opened the door and went out.
Bei Yao looked at the back for a long time before he laughed, took off his cloak and lay back on the couch.
Chen Shan was still guarding outside the door.
Xu Yuan was not in a hurry to leave, but asked: "Master Chen, I want to ask, how did the Third Prince cancel the engagement?"
"Didn't the young master tell you?" Chen Shan was a little surprised.
Xuyuan shook his head.
It was precisely because Bei Yao explained the whole thing in just a few words that she felt that this matter was not that simple.
"But sir..." Chen Shan hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan said, "Your son and I have traveled all the way from Sishui County to the capital. Don't you know what kind of person I am? If you don't tell me, I will just spend some effort to ask other people."
Chen Shan sighed and said, "Master Xu, do you still remember the evidence we found in King Geshu's tent?"
"remember."
"The prefect of Hanzhou is the Third Prince's man, and he has already been interrogated. The Third Prince took the County Magistrate of Sishui County and the Crown Prince's confession to Fengyi Palace. His original words were that either the engagement should be cancelled or the Crown Prince should be imprisoned."
"The Queen favors the Crown Prince, so she naturally agreed to the Third Prince's request. However, everyone in and outside the palace knew clearly that the Queen's arranged marriage could not be cancelled. In order to give the Queen a legitimate reason, the Third Prince knelt outside Fengyi Palace for more than an hour..."
Xuyuan's heart trembled, and he asked, "When did this happen?"
"When I saw you yesterday..." Chen Shan paused, then immediately reacted and changed his words: "After the young master saw you yesterday, he went to find the third prince, and the third prince went to Fengyi Palace."
When I saw her yesterday, Beiyao was already sick. He had been kneeling in the snow for more than an hour while sick. No wonder he couldn't even get out of bed today.
And she still wants to see Beiyao at this time...
Bei Yao might have hurried from the palace to Ronghua Garden.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan felt his eyes moisten.
She turned around quickly, wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Thank you, Master Chen, for telling me the truth. I will definitely remember your young master's help."
Hearing the last few words, Chen Shan couldn't help but say, "If Master Xu really wants to remember this, he should stay away from the Crown Prince. At the beginning, Master Xu urged you to become a disciple of the Third Prince, but you refused. Why are you on good terms with the Crown Prince now? Could it be because the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne?"
Chen Shan had not intended to say these words.
He has no right to interfere in Beiyao's affairs.
But he still couldn't help but feel unfair for Bei Yao.
"I don't participate in court disputes. I didn't become a disciple of the Third Prince before, and I will naturally not become a disciple of the Crown Prince now. You can rest assured about this. Even if I take a step back, I will not harm your son."
Xu Yuan didn't want to explain too much. After she finished speaking, she bowed and said, "Master Chen, I'm going to rest first."
"please."
Chen Shan stretched out his hand, made a "please" gesture, and continued to guard the door.
At night, the snow started to fall heavily again.
I made a wish and lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Every word Chen Shan said was like an arrow, piercing her heart.
Everything in Beiyao is good.
The only bad thing is that he is too nice to others.
How could she repay such a friendship?
Does she still have a chance to return it?
The next day, Xu Yuan woke up early in the morning. After washing up, she went to check on Bei Yao. Seeing that Bei Yao was still sleeping, she did not disturb him and left with Chen He.
Today, she is going to the Heavenly Prison.
In the capital of Tianqi, there are prisons in every jurisdiction.
Most ordinary cases were handled by the prefectural government or the county government, and after being convicted, the person would be detained in the local government's prison.
The Tianlao is different. Those detained in Tianlao are major criminals reported by the Tianqi local area. After the case is investigated by the Dali Temple, the Chief Censor and the Procuratorate will jointly convict the criminal.
The Tianlao and the Dali Temple were not far from each other. He wished to go to the Tianlao himself, and then he thought about going to the Dali Temple to find Sun Wenjie and then go there together.
As soon as I arrived at the Dali Temple, I saw Sun Wenjie waiting for me in red official uniform.
Before Xu Yuan opened his mouth, Sun Wenjie took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Xu, are you going to the Heavenly Prison? I have been waiting for you for a long time."
After Sun Wenjie finished speaking, he saw Chen He following behind Xu Yuan and asked, "Who is this?"
Xu Yuan was reluctant to reveal Chen He's identity, so he said directly: "Friend."
"I see." Sun Wenjie nodded, and after walking to Xu Yuan's side, he asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, how come you have become so popular with the prince now?"
