Rongchang was in his early forties and was currently troubled by his son's affairs. Hearing that the prince had invited him, although he felt uneasy, he had no choice but to come to see him.
Li Jingxing did not beat around the bush and told Rongchang exactly what happened to Zhang Dongsheng brothers who designed to blackmail and were exploited.
Rongchang didn't think about this disaster at first, but after listening to Li Jingxing's words, he still didn't understand that his son had been plotted against him, and he was so angry that he trembled all over.
"The dick is just too much!"
He thought he had no deep hatred for his brother, but for the sake of being in charge of the family, he actually wanted to put his only legitimate son in prison!
If this person goes in, he may not come out alive. He is so cruel!
Rongchang calmed down, knelt on the ground with a clang, and said with tears: "Please save my life, the common people will be your Highness's from now on!"
Li Jingxing didn't like to talk too much, so he just said: "I will do my best."
Rongchang was also a smart man, and added: "No matter whether this matter succeeds or not, His Highness will never forget the great kindness of the common people. From now on, the common people will only obey His Highness!"
Li Jingxing's goal was achieved, and the expression on his face immediately became gentle, and he gave Xiao Fuzi a look.
Xiao Fuzi immediately stepped forward and helped Rongchang up: "From now on, we are all our own, Mr. Rong does not need to pay such a big gift."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Rongchang had just sat down and had a bowl of tea when Du Qing, who was ordered to pick up someone, went back home, but unfortunately he did not bring back Zhang Chunsheng's grandmother.
"Your Highness, Zhang Dongsheng's grandmother is missing. My subordinate must have alerted Zhang Dongsheng when he took her away, so he took the old lady away!" Du Qing kowtowed heavily, "It's because of my lack of consideration. Your Highness, please punish me!"
Li Jingxing's expression changed.
Rongchang was shocked. He was pointing at Zhang Dongsheng to exonerate his son. This old lady fell into the hands of the enemy. Would Zhang Dongsheng still dare to go to the Yamen to surrender?
Chiyang also felt a headache.
[It’s rare that Zhang Dongsheng is born with a clear mind, but now that the old lady has been lost, Zhang Dongsheng will definitely throw in the towel, and may not be willing to turn himself in to exonerate Rong Xu. 】
[With Zhang Dongsheng’s temperament of being soft-spoken and not hard-hitting, whether you hide it or force him, it will only be counterproductive. 】
[It’s useless to punish Du Qing at this moment. It’s better to think about how to persuade Zhang Dongsheng. 】
While Du Qing was waiting, Li Jingxing said: "Go and call Zhang Dongsheng and tell the truth."
Uncle Rong hesitated: "Your Highness, this..."
Li Jingxing said indifferently: "The governor of Jingzhao simply wants a murderer for Zhang Chunsheng. If it doesn't work out, just find one for him."
Zhang Chunsheng is the name of Zhang Dongsheng's eldest brother.
In the past few days, he has been influenced by Chiyang, and he has begun to pay attention to what is fair and upright in his work. But the Rong family is very important to him, and he can't care about so much at the moment. He still has to use conspiracy when it is time to use it.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters!
Chiyang glanced at Li Jingxing and said nothing.
[Excellent times call for extraordinary measures. 】
When Li Jingxing heard these words, he immediately felt relieved.
Du Qing explained the situation to Zhang Dongsheng in person. Zhang Dongsheng's face suddenly turned pale. He looked at Uncle Rong, then at Li Jingxing, and finally at Chiyang.
"Princess, was the villain's grandmother taken away by them?"
He has already learned Chiyang's identity from his servants.
Chiyang nodded bravely.
Zhang Dongsheng took two steps back and finally slumped on the ground in a daze.
Li Jingxing was a little unhappy, but when he saw that Chiyang didn't say anything, he didn't criticize him either.
Thinking about it, he just lost his eldest brother, and now he has to face the loss of his grandmother. After all, he is only a half-year-old child, so it is normal that he cannot accept it.
Rongchang got angry and got angry. He stood up and walked to Zhang Dongsheng and said, "My child, as long as you are willing to surrender, I will ensure that you come out safe and sound. I will give you whatever you want!"
At this moment, he was counting on Zhang Dongsheng to help his son escape the crime, and he didn't care about blaming Zhang Dongsheng's brothers for their plot against him.
But Zhang Dongsheng only has one thought in his mind right now, that is, his grandma has been kidnapped by bad guys, and her life or death is uncertain, so there is no way she can listen to his words.
Zhang Dongsheng knelt and crawled to the feet of Chiyang and begged, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, please be kind and let the common people go back!"
Maybe those people saw him going back and gave his grandma back!
Chiyang felt a little guilty. After all, he was the one who gave others hope, but there were some things he had to say.
"You won't be able to save your grandma if you go back, and it will cost you your life."
If Zhang Dongsheng had not been brought into the Prince's Mansion, the other party might have let Zhang Dong live until Rong Xu was convicted. But now, if Zhang Dongsheng left the Prince's Mansion, he would be assassinated and his life would be in vain.
Zhang Dongsheng understands the truth, but he can't just ignore his grandmother, who is his only living relative now!
In desperation, Zhang Dongsheng tried to hug Chiyang's legs, but Li Jingxing kicked him over and held him in place with his freezing eyes.
"You're a crying loser. It's not enough for you to kill one of your grandma's grandchildren. Do you want to kill another one?"
Zhang Dongsheng was stunned by his scolding.
He is a waste, and he did kill his eldest brother, so he has no shame in living. He wants to exchange his own life for his grandmother's life!
Li Jingxing was condescending and looked at Zhang Dongsheng with an expression of hatred.
"Only the dead can keep secrets forever in this world. As long as you live in this world, you will be a threat to them. When your brothers step into the trap, you will have no way to survive. It will be sooner or later for you to die!"
"Do you think they will let your grandmother go after they killed you and your eldest brother?"
"Du Qing brought you back, not because he killed your grandmother, but because he saved your life!"
"If you were your grandmother, and you were willing to help conceal the murderer of your eldest brother and then be killed again, you would still be willing to risk your life to give you a chance to live and avenge her and your eldest brother in the future!"
Zhang Dongsheng collapsed on the ground.
Although these words are cruel, they are all true.
"You stupid fool!"
After Li Jingxing cursed the last sentence, he waved his hands and walked out of the hall. Du Qing, Xiao Fuzi and the Rong family elders all followed, leaving only Chiyang and Zhang Dongsheng.
Zhang Dongsheng beat the ground angrily, his red eye sockets cracked.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have instigated my eldest brother to steal and extort people's money with me."
Chiyang walked up to him and squatted down, saying helplessly: "It has happened. There is no way to undo it."
Zhang Dongsheng cried even more heartbroken.
Chiyang gave a long sigh: "You know the truth, so I won't repeat it again. His Highness just said that even if you don't surrender, he can still find a way to exonerate Mr. Rong, but you just throw your life away casually. Forget it, let’s leave it to you and figure it out slowly in the future, you are a smart person, think about it slowly by yourself.”
Unable to wake up the person who was pretending to be asleep, Chiyang got up and left.
Zhang Dongsheng's mournful cries echoed in the empty hall, looking desperate and helpless.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stopped crying and looked up at the dark sky, his eyes becoming firm and cruel.
Do powerful, wealthy and powerful people care so little about human life?
If this is the case, he will also want to be a master!
