Chapter 321 Jinnan, Hidden Away
Chapter 321 Jinnan, Hidden Away
Hui Chengyuan was sitting in the City Lord's Mansion at this time, looking through Xian Dong's official documents from recent years.
Ling Feng walked in and said, "Your Highness, someone attacked the prison cell, probably to rescue the An brothers."
"Are the previous arrangements ready?" Hui Chengyuan stood up and walked out.
Ling Feng immediately followed, "We have arranged everything, we will make sure they never come back."
"An Xianming should have returned to Xiandong. You arrange for someone to look for him and see where he is hiding." Hui Chengyuan said as he walked towards the cell.
By the time he arrived, all the attackers in the cell had been captured.
He glanced at An Ye Ning and An Ye Chen, and seeing that they were both fine, he looked at the people who came to jailbreak.
"Who is in charge?"
Ling Yun stepped forward and pulled a man out, "Your Highness, I discovered that he was the one in charge the whole time."
Hui Chengyuan glanced at the man and asked, "Where is An Xianming?"
"do not know."
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Ling Yang, torture him."
"Lingyun, go to the Prince Qin's mansion and check if there are any people who shouldn't be there and whether the things in the mansion have been registered."
"Lingkong, release all the An family members who have not participated in the matter."
An Yechen looked at him, not understanding what he was going to do. Why did he suddenly want to release the An family’s members?
In fact, the An family did not have any family members. The first wife, An Liu, had passed away, and only An Xianmingna's concubines and a three-year-old child were left.
As soon as the An family members were released from the prison, they returned to their original Qin Palace, but the plaque has now been removed.
An Hongli, who was hiding in the dark, saw that all his family members had been released. He frowned and left the mansion and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
When he learned that all the people who tried to rob the prison had been executed, he immediately headed towards the city gate. When he was halfway there, he thought of the young master who had been released with his family, so he returned to the Prince Qin's Mansion.
Now that Young Master Ye Ning cannot be rescued, it would be better to save Young Master Ye An. At least a bloodline should be left for the master.
But when he returned to the Prince of Qin's Palace, it was Crown Prince Hui Chengyuan who was waiting for him.
Hui Chengyuan looked at the person who came and played with the jade pendant in his hand. "I didn't expect that An Xianming escaped so quickly, leaving my people empty-handed."
An Hongli knew that the other party had discovered him, so he walked out.
"An Hongli has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Hui Chengyuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he was such a person who valued courtesy. Even at this time, he still remembered to show respect.
"Where did An Xianming go?"
An Hongli calculated the time and thought that the prince should have almost reached the border of Zhao State, so he said without any worries: "The prince is in Zhao State, and I was ordered to come back to rescue the two young masters."
Hui Chengyuan knew that An Xianming had come back, but when his people went to look for him, he had already left Xiandong and apparently went to Zhao State immediately.
He waved his hand, stood up and walked out.
"An Ye Ning, An Ye Chen and other people who plotted rebellion will be executed in three days."
After hearing this, An Hongli looked up in the direction where Hui Chengyuan left. Before he could move, a sword was placed on his neck.
"Come on, I'll take you to meet your two young masters."
An Hongli looked at Ling Feng, "How did His Royal Highness know that I was still in Xiandong?"
"You don't need to know." Ling Feng's sword moved, and a blood mark appeared on his neck.
Hui Chengyuan walked on the streets of Xiandong, looking at the people walking around, and found that there were more smiles on everyone's faces and more people dressed simply.
He had interrogated An Yechen before. The reason why he required the people to dress neatly and gorgeously was just to have more bargaining chips in negotiations with others.
After all, the better Xian Dongcheng is, the stronger their abilities are.
But it made life difficult for the common people. Those without money and good clothes dared not go out.
Now that this regulation has been lifted, people are naturally relieved and are going out shopping.
Hui Chengyuan was just about to turn around and go back to Le Xiangshan when he saw Yuan Man and Jin Nan enter a bookstore. Without thinking much, he followed them.
Yuan Man looked at the person in front of him, then looked at Jin Nan, "Is this the person you trained?"
Jinnan nodded, "Yes, sister, I'm awesome, right?"
Yuanman gave a thumbs up, this was simply amazing.
Jinnan has only been training talents for a short time, but they are all assigned to Xiandong.
"Jinnan, you are very secretive. Have you arranged to go to Zhao State?"
Jinnan nodded, "Of course there are, but they are only available in Ningcheng."
"That's not bad. When we go to Ningcheng, at least we won't be completely in the dark and know nothing." Yuan Man said and gave him a thumbs up.
Hui Chengyuan walked in and looked around the bookstore. It looked very new and should have been opened not long ago.
The shopkeeper saw someone coming and immediately went to greet him, "Sir, are you here to buy a book or borrow one?"
"Axiao, weren't you in the City Lord's Mansion? Why are you here?" Yuan Man was a little surprised to see him.
Hui Chengyuan looked at her and said, "I've already dealt with the matter over there. I was originally going back, but when I saw you and Jinnan coming in, I followed you."
Yuan Man smiled and said, "This is a bookstore opened by Jinnan's people. I didn't expect that in just over a year, he would open a bookstore in Xiandong."
“He’s awesome, isn’t he?”
"That's right." Hui Chengyuan nodded, looked at Jinnan and asked, "When did this bookstore open?"
Jinnan said: "At the end of last year."
Hui Chengyuan looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "How much do you know about Xian Dong?"
The shopkeeper looked at Jinnan and said, "What do you want to know?"
"An Xianming, and those who were close to him." No wonder he asked that. Ling Feng and his team had only interviewed the people in the city, so they didn't know much.
Those noble families and officials will not tell the truth, so the information obtained from the investigation is dispensable.
If An Xianming had not been in Xiandong and An Yechen and the others had received the wrong information from Kyoto, it would definitely not be so easy for him to appease Xiandong.
Now that An Xianming has fled to the State of Zhao, the forces on Xiandong's side must be wiped out to prevent him from coming back to life and causing trouble.
The shopkeeper doesn't necessarily need to know An Xianming's forces. He only needs to know which people An Xianming was close to when he was in Xiandong.
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Because this is a bookstore, the people who come here are all scholars. They don't like to gossip about other people, but there are some who like gossip."
"Years ago, I heard someone say that the King of Qin had been receiving local officials and noble families, as well as students from several academies, since New Year's Eve."
"Among them, the Wang family of Kengling was the one that was treated most favorably by the King of Qin. The second was Yang Qingbai, the second son of the Yang family in Beidong. He stayed in Xiandong for quite some time before returning."
When Hui Chengyuan heard about Yang Qingbai from the Beidong Yang family, he immediately asked, "Yang Qingbai is the second son of General Beidong Dong'an, right?"
The shopkeeper thought for a moment before nodding, "It seems so. I heard from others that General Yang is more interested in Yang Qingbai as the successor of the family business."
Yuan Man heard this and asked, "Can the position of general still be inherited?"
Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "Of course not, but if Yang Qinglan keeps Yang Qingbai by his side and teaches him, and lets him build military merits, it will only be a matter of time before he is promoted to a general."
"Besides, Yang Qinglan is a count."
