"Your Majesty, it has been verified that the person Miss Wen saw was none other than Wen Tan."
When Si Fengxuan received the news, Wen Lan was already standing in front of Wen Tan, whose pseudonym was "Wen Qian".
Compared to a year ago, Wen Tan looked more than ten years older and had two obvious scars on his face. The only thing that remained unchanged was his pretentious temperament.
The moment Wen Lan appeared, Wen Tan was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be a stranger and asked Wen Lan why he broke into his guest room.
But he thought he was hiding it well, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Wen Lan, and naturally he showed jealousy and unwillingness.
Wen Lan looked at him coldly for a moment, then took a step forward and said, "Brother, long time no see."
"You must have mistaken the person. I don't understand what you are talking about." Wen Tan quickly looked away.
Wen Lan walked over boldly and sat down on the main seat. Shi Dashan, who came with him, immediately went up and poured him a cup of tea.
Shi Dashan: "Master Hou, please have some tea."
Wen Lan said "hmm", then slowly picked up the tea cup and smelled it, then put the tea back on the table.
The sound of the teacup being smashed when it fell startled Wen Tan, and also woke him up from the shock brought to him by the word "Master Hou".
Mr. Hou?
It's obvious that he is smarter and more talented than Wen Lan, it's obvious that he studied hard for many years in a humble life, it's obvious that he should be the one who should rise to great heights...
But now, Wen Lan, a poor man with poor legs, has become a marquis, and he can only live with a strange identity at the risk of beheading.
How unfair fate is!
Wen Tan's unwillingness to struggle was seen by Wen Lan. He sneered and suddenly asked: "Brother has read a lot of books. I wonder if he still remembers what I said about the laws and regulations?"
"..."
"Then, eldest brother, does he know what will happen if he deceives the emperor?" Wen Lan asked.
Wen Tan's expression changed, and he became increasingly uneasy, "What do you want to do?"
He was originally a guilty person, but he was rescued by someone inexplicably, and he still lived under someone else's identity. This was more than just committing the crime of deceiving the emperor.
If we really want to investigate deeply, I'm afraid that the whole family and even the whole clan will be convicted because of him.
Wen Lan is his younger brother. Even if they are separated, they are still inextricably linked. Once he is convicted, Wen Lan will not be much better.
"Then it depends on what you want to do, brother." Wen Lan said.
Wen Tan: "..."
Wen Lan: "I won't offend others unless they offend me. I privately thought that the grudges between us were settled in Ning County, but my eldest brother obviously didn't think so. As the saying goes, how can we repay kindness with evil? Since eldest brother is unwilling to let us go, then I had no choice but to kill them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Tan was so frightened that he stepped back.
Because I was in too much haste, I stumbled a few steps and almost fell down.
After standing up awkwardly, Wen Tan frowned and said, "I don't know you, and I don't have a younger brother..."
"You'd better be." Wen Lan said coldly.
Wen Tan stopped talking.
After a moment of silence, there was a knock on the door. A man dressed as a royal guard saluted and said: "I have paid homage to the Marquis. May I ask if the Marquis' matter has been handled properly? The prince has ordered that if he is a bad person, he will be handed over to the capital." Zhaofu asked the government to investigate and deal with it, so that the Marquis does not have to worry about these trivial matters."
After a pause, the guard continued: "The prince has also ordered that he has obtained the best Yuqian Longjing recently. If the prince is free, he will go to the prince's mansion to have a sit."
"I know, thank your prince for me." Wen Lan said.
When the guards retreated, Wen Tan's expression turned ugly.
He wanted to report to Wen Lan and invite him to tea. Does this mean that Prince Ning also knew what happened to the Wen family?
From this point of view, the title of Marquis Wen Lan was indeed obtained by Prince Ning from the Emperor as the mysterious man said.
Wen Lan now has Prince Ning as his big backer, so can he really shake the Wen family?
Can the mysterious man who rescued him shake Prince Ning, who is loved and trusted by the emperor and the queen mother?
For a moment, Wen Tan couldn't help but start to wonder if he had made another wrong choice.
The mysterious man said that as long as he went to Beijing to complain, exposed Wen Lan's killing of his niece before the palace examination, and told the world about Wen Jinyang's attitude at that time, Wen Jinyang's character would be criticized, and Wen Jinyang's life would be over.
But when he agreed to go to Beijing, the situation was not what it is now.
At that time, Wen Lan was not the Marquis who was highly valued by Prince Ning, and Wen Jinyang did not have five yuan in high school, but now...
"It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words, but I still want to say something. Before I do anything, brother, at least think about the parents, wives and children who have been implicated by you, and think about how many of the nine tribes you can kill."
After saying that, Wen Lan left with the people.
The moment the door closed, the pale Wen Tan collapsed on the ground as if he had collapsed.
"Boss, will he listen?"
Shi Dashan said and made a gesture of wiping his neck, "If you don't do it without stopping, it will always be a disaster if you keep him. Boss, why don't I put him..."
Wen Lan shook his head.
Based on Wen Tan's own abilities, he couldn't even leave the place of exile.
This time he was able to enter Beijing as Wen Qian, and it was obvious that someone was taking care of everything for him behind the scenes.
And this person is most likely Wen Ziran, who has a grudge against them.
If Wen Ziran wants revenge, she must have already thought of a plan. She will continue to implement her revenge plan whether Wen Tan is there or not.
Wen Tan can die, but not immediately.
"Then boss, are we still going to the palace now?" Shi Dashan asked.
Wen Lan shook his head, "Go to the book club first."
Shi Dashan chuckled, "I forgot, our eldest lady's picture album has a new edition, I should go check it out."
As soon as they arrived at the book club, the palace guards appeared again.
"Master Marquis, the news just came from the palace that the Lord of Hui'an County is no longer the County Lord."
After speaking, seeing that Wen Lan did not give any orders, the guard quickly disappeared again.
Looking at the place where the guards left, Shi Dashan's face was full of envy, "It will be great if I can be as elusive as the masters like Wang Fu."
Wen Lan thought about the guard's words.
Wen Ziran's hard-earned identity was suddenly gone. Wouldn't she be angry to death?
Just as Wen Lan thought, Wen Ziran was indeed very angry.
Therefore, after the eunuch read out the imperial edict, she not only forgot to accept the edict to express gratitude, but also grabbed the eunuch who delivered the edict and asked why.
She is the granddaughter of the eldest princess. Even if she is not made the princess, why should she take back her position as the county princess?
During the tearing, she scratched the face of an eunuch, and the eunuch took revenge on her again.
Not long after, the eunuch who delivered the edict visited the eldest princess' mansion again and read out a new edict.
The eldest princess was poorly educated and allowed her granddaughter to collude with foreign ministers. The eldest princess was directly exempted from her title and became a princess.
"Your Highness, thank you!"
After the imperial edict was read out, the eldest princess became so angry that she fainted.
Wen Ziran was still afraid that the eunuch would cause trouble to her face and embarrass her, but the eunuch ordered the eunuch to finish his business and leave.
Little did she know that the disaster waiting for her really began at this moment.
