Yuan Zurong gritted his teeth, a mist flashed in his eyes, and finally accepted it.
"Thank you very much, princess. If the princess gives you orders in the future, Su Rong will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Wen Ranran waved her hand.
She just has a good impression of this girl, and the daughter of the Imperial College Ji Restaurant... I guess her literacy is not that bad.
Wen Ranran's calculations started to click loudly in her heart.
After sending Yuan Surong away, Wen Ranran went out to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments again.
The Ministry of Justice is now jointly taken over by Cheng Fenglou and Xia Lishuang, and Fang Su, the former Shangshu, is currently being dismissed from his post and is thinking about his mistakes at home, which is very miserable.
When Wen Ranran arrived, Cheng Fenglou and Xia Lishuang were investigating the case in prison.
Wen Ranran took Jiang Tang with her. Before they even entered the door, they smelled a choking smell of coke.
The prison of the Criminal Department was still eerie, and the walls made of cold bluestone now turned into a charcoal color.
Wen Ranran raised her hand and wiped it, and felt black ash on her hand.
Cheng Fenglou and Xia Lishuang were in the innermost cell. They were carefully investigating the strangeness inside. They were a little surprised when they saw Wen Ranran.
"Why are you here?"
"Come and take a look when you're bored!" Wen Ranran smiled, "Have you found anything?"
Xia Lishuang shook his head.
"The fire burned cleanly, leaving nothing behind."
Cheng Fenglou sighed, "But what is certain is that someone did it deliberately!"
"How to say?"
Cheng Fenglou clicked on the surrounding stone walls.
"The rooms in the Penal Department Prison are all made of stone. In order to prevent prisoners from escaping in other ways, even if the fire does burn, it will only burn the straw in the cell and will not spread to other places."
"But this fire burned half of the Ministry of Justice. Such a large-scale burning would be impossible without kerosene..."
Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows.
"So, the prince was rescued?"
Xia Lishuang nodded, "But we haven't found out who did it."
"Could it be related to Shen Tong?"
Wen Ranran thought of Shen Tong's strange actions again and again and made a bold guess.
"It's not like...if the person behind Shen Tong was really the prince, he wouldn't have placed the edict in Li Yuan's room. Wouldn't it be better for him to hold it himself?" Xia Lishuang pinched her eyebrows.
Wen Ranran thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
"So, there are more than one wave of enemies hiding in the dark."
This is the most troublesome.
Wen Ranran also sighed and looked at Cheng Fenglou.
"How are you going to report to His Majesty?"
Cheng Fenglou smiled lightly, with a rare hint of sharpness between his brows.
"Since the prince can't be caught now, then let's take action on Fang Su!"
Wen Ranran was slightly stunned and quickly understood what Cheng Fenglou meant.
It’s not just once or twice that things have happened in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Ever since Wen Ranran was almost assassinated in prison, Wan Guangsheng was forced to take Five Stone Powder, and Xia Yanyan died inexplicably in prison.
Each of these things may not seem like much, but when they are reported together, people can easily discover the problems.
At the very least, Fang Su could be charged with neglecting his duties and being an official without mercy.
After confirming the situation, Xia Lishuang and Wen Ranran said goodbye together.
"The matters in the imperial study should have been over long ago. Why are you here so late?" Xia Lishuang rubbed Wen Ranran's head.
Wen Ranran's mouth twitched.
Do you want to take her so seriously?
"I met the lady from Yuan Ji Restaurant in the Imperial College on the way and chatted a little more."
"Miss Yuan? Yuan Surong?"
Wen Ranran was surprised, "You know?"
Xia Lishuang smiled, "You know a little bit...before Cheng Fenglou's name came out, this woman firmly occupied the name of Kefu."
"Ah?! Isn't it?"
Xia Lishuang laughed.
Wen Ranran became even more curious.
"She looks like a pretty girl to me. What's going on?"
