Looking at Liu Bang standing next to Ran Fang, and then thinking that when he was arrested that day, Liu Bang was among them, Xiang Jin's first reaction was that Xiang Zhuang had been arrested.
Her heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and she didn't know how to react.
"Who?"
When she spoke, her tone was still a little uneasy, and she didn't dare to say the name easily.
Ran Fang saw what she was thinking. He didn't answer the question, but just focused his eyes on the door.
Following his eyes, everyone's attention was focused on the direction of the room door, waiting for someone to come in.
In the eyes of everyone, it was Zhang Liang who slowly walked in from the door.
Others were not surprised, but Xiang Jin who was sitting there suddenly stood up.
She knew Zhang Liang and knew that he had cooperated with his brother to assassinate Ying Zheng.
Seeing him standing here now, I was surprised that he was also arrested by Ran Fang.
Just when she was about to ask, she noticed that Zhang Liang's clothes were the same as those of Liu Bang and others. This obviously meant that he had fallen into Ran Fang's sect.
Suddenly, her worried tone turned into questioning, "You really betrayed your brother!"
"When I received the letter from my brother, I thought it was because he didn't investigate, so he told us to be careful about you."
"But when we met today, I misunderstood you, brother. It was you who actually did such a rebellious thing!"
"Zhang Liang, how can you be worthy of my...brother?!"
While speaking, a tear flowed from Xiang Jin's eyes and fell to the ground.
And her trembling hands showed that she must be in a very bad mood at this moment.
Zhang Liang, who was being questioned, had a rare look of embarrassment in his eyes, and even looked at Xiang Jin with a hint of distress.
He murmured a few times, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Ran Fang and Liu Bang looked at each other, and both could tell that the two people must have an unusual relationship.
Zhang Liang didn't notice their movements, but nodded slightly to Xiang Jin, then stepped forward and stood beside Ran Fang.
Ran Fang is still very satisfied with his "sensibleness".
He watched Xiang Jin's eyes always fall on Zhang Liang, smiled, coughed slightly, and said, "Miss Xiang's words are a bit biased."
"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve as his assistant. Zhang Liang just made the right choice."
"Since you already know that some things cannot be done, why can't Zhang Liang wake up as soon as possible?"
"Let you two meet today. I hope you can understand that what your brother wants to do will naturally not succeed, and he may even lose his life because of it."
"If you don't want to watch them end up with their heads and bodies missing, how about you persuade them to put these things aside and find a place to live?"
When she saw Zhang Liang, Xiang Jin could actually guess why Ran Fang was looking for her.
But when she heard Ran Fang's words, she was still a little unconvinced.
Even if my brother does something that is detrimental to the world, so what?
The elder brother wanted to avenge his family. Otherwise, why would the Xiang family be like this!
"This... I'm afraid I can't do it."
"Don't say I can't see them. Even if I can, my brother and the others won't listen to my words. They will even blame me for my words!"
"Lord Commander, I know you don't like to see casualties, but the hatred of family and country in my brother's heart for so many years cannot be let go so easily overnight."
"Unlike some people who are not firm-minded, my brother will never break his vow!"
While talking, Xiang Jin glanced at Zhang Liang from time to time.
Zhang Liang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ran Fang's eyes.
Ran Fang was not surprised at all by this result. If he could convince the Xiang family so easily, then he wouldn't have to use so many people.
He smiled and shook his head, his thin lips parted slightly: "What if your brother has fallen into my hands?"
Suddenly, both Zhang Liang and Xiang Jin stared at Ran Fang in disbelief. They had not received the message.
The most surprised person was Zhang Liang. He had been following Ran Fang and didn't know about it.
Even so, he wisely remained silent.
But Xiang Jin was different. She stood up again, her mouth wide open and she didn't know what to say.
After a long while, she murmured: "You...you actually captured my brother?"
"where is he?"
After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something and sat down again with a relaxed expression.
"You wouldn't lie to me on purpose, would you?"
"My brother has always been cautious in his actions, how could he be arrested by you!"
Although she said this, the temptation in her eyes could not be faked.
Even when he was questioned, Ran Fang was still not very angry, and the expression on his face was light.
After a moment, he said: "What about Feng Anfu?"
"did you know?"
Hearing this, Xiang Jin's eyes widened, with a hint of despair.
Obviously, she also knows this name and the relationship between Feng Anfu and the Xiang family.
Ran Fang found out about this matter, so naturally her brother Xiang Zhuang couldn't hide.
Even so, she was not sure that Xiang Zhuang had really been arrested by Ran Fang. What if he had run away?
"I...I don't know, nor do I know Feng Anfu."
"I don't understand what you are saying."
Ran Fang knew that she would not admit it so easily, so he glanced at Liu Bang and signaled that he could say it.
After receiving the order, Liu Bang took out a stack of papers from his sleeve. This was all the evidence he had investigated in the past few days.
Putting these on the table next to Xiang Jin, he then continued: "Feng Anfu is somewhat distantly related to the right prime minister Feng Quji, so his status in the city is not low."
"However, Feng Quji has not helped him for so many years, but he cannot stop him from using his name to do things, so Feng Anfu can sit in the position of guard unimpeded."
"During this process, Feng Anfu did not fail to give some benefits to the officials in the DPRK, but how did he, a small official, get so much money?"
"Of course it's related to the Xiang family. That's why Feng Anfu has been able to rise so high in just a few years. Others think it's because of Feng Quji's face, but only you know it's because of the Xiang family's money."
"The Xiang family has been planning this matter for a long time and has been waiting for this day."
"Xiang Zhuang was able to find a place to hide in the city because you threatened him with this matter. If Your Majesty finds out that he is colluding with the Xiang family, it will be a crime that will kill your head."
"Furthermore, with the help of the Xiang family, he might be able to advance a step further. That's why he has to risk his whole family's lives to help the Xiang family this time."
"It's a pity that now all his plans have come to nothing..."
Upon hearing the last word, Xiang Jin's face turned pale.
She couldn't believe that what the Xiang family had been planning for so long was actually revealed by Ran Fang.
It was also at this moment that she was able to confirm that perhaps what the Xiang family wanted to do had really failed.
"I have no idea."
"Even if you arrest my brother, he will not listen to me."
"You should give up on this idea."
When speaking, Xiang Jin lowered his head, but the decadent look on his figure was so obvious.
Ran Fang did not continue to embarrass her. He waved his hand and signaled Zhang Liang: "Send her back."
