Chapter 301 Take him away! To be dealt with in Xianyang!
Seeing Mi Yueyao's cooperation, Zhang Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to step back half a step, then stepped forward himself and took out a thin, soft hemp rope from his sleeve.
"I'm sorry!" Zhang Fan said in a low voice.
Mi Yueyao did not resist and obediently stretched out her fair and jade-like wrists, letting Zhang Fan tie them to her front.
Followed by.
"Take him away!" Zhang Fan ordered coldly.
Zhang Fan, with Mi Yueyao's hands bound, slowly descended the stairs under the protection of numerous soldiers.
I just walked up to the landing on the second floor.
"Let go of my sister! You bunch of bad people, let her go!"
Amidst cries and screams, a young girl dressed in a white gauze dress, bearing a resemblance to Mi Yueyao but possessing a cool and aloof temperament like a solitary orchid in a secluded valley, disregarded the soldiers' long spears and desperately squeezed her way out of the crowd.
She is Mi Yueyao's younger sister!
Fairy Pei (Mi Yue Li).
Mi Yue Li cried with tears streaming down her face, her expression filled with anxiety and fear.
She threw herself at Mi Yueyao's side, her little hands gripping her sister's sleeve tightly, glaring at Zhang Fan with eyes full of hatred, and cried out:
"What are you doing? What Qin law did my sister break? Why are you arresting my sister! Where are you taking her?"
Looking at her younger sister's red, tear-filled eyes, Mi Yueyao felt a deep sense of reluctance and heartache.
But she knew that she must not show any weakness at this moment, and she must not let her sister get involved.
"Yue Li! Shut up!"
Mi Yueyao rebuked sharply, "How dare you shout and yell here when the Qin imperial envoy is handling a case! What kind of behavior is this!"
Startled by her sister's stern shout, Mi Yue Li froze, large tears clinging to her eyelashes as she looked at her sister with a wronged expression.
Seeing her younger sister like this, Mi Yueyao took a deep breath and softened her tone.
"While I'm away, you must stay obediently in Ji Hong Lou, manage the affairs there, and keep everyone calm! Don't act rashly, and especially don't contact anyone outside!"
"Don't worry, your sister..."
Mi Yueyao raised her head, her gaze sweeping over Zhang Fan standing to the side. Then she gave her sister a reassuring smile, "I'll go with Young Master Zhang, nothing will happen."
Although Mi Yue Li is young, she is not a naive and innocent girl who doesn't know anything.
Looking at her sister's eyes and then at Zhang Fan standing to the side, she vaguely sensed that there seemed to be some hidden story behind this.
She bit her lip, loosened her grip, and nodded with a sob in her voice: "Sister...you must come back safely."
Let's go!
Zhang Fan, unwilling to watch this drama of life and death any longer, coldly urged them on.
The soldiers escorted the two of them as they strode out of Ji Honglou's gate.
The night was deep, and the autumn wind was bleak.
On the streets of Changzi County, a spacious and comfortable horse-drawn carriage had been waiting for a long time.
Surprisingly, instead of being transported as a serious criminal, Mi Yueyao was not stuffed into a prison van!
In full view of everyone.
Zhang Fan personally lifted the heavy curtain of the carriage, gesturing for Mi Yueyao, whose hands were bound, to get on first.
After Mi Yueyao boarded the car, Zhang Fan followed closely behind and climbed into the carriage, lowering the curtain to completely block out all prying eyes from the outside world.
"Pass on my orders!"
Inside the carriage, Zhang Fan's undeniable voice rang out: "The major case is closed. I will depart immediately! We will leave the city tonight!"
"Target: Xianyang, the capital of Qin!"
"Here you go!"
The guard immediately mounted his horse.
The wheels rolled on, and the axles made a regular, soft sound.
Zhang Fan leaned back against the soft cushions, exhaled a long breath, and closed his eyes, seemingly processing the continuous thrills of the past few days.
A moment later, Zhang Fan reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at Mi Yueyao opposite him.
After all this trouble, we finally managed to bring this dangerous woman under our control.
Tonight's actions were too sudden!
He led his troops to surround Ji Honglou and left the city overnight, without even having time to inform Fusu and Mofeng.
Fortunately, he left a letter at the government office before leaving, otherwise the two of them would have been very worried when they discovered they were missing the next morning.
Meanwhile, Mi Yueyao, who was sitting on the cushion opposite him, raised her head and, in the dim light of the carriage, quietly watched the man who was pretending to be asleep.
a long time.
A barely audible giggle rang out in the quiet carriage.
I heard a noise.
Zhang Fan opened his eyes and looked at her, feigning a cold voice as he asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Mi Yueyao bit her red lips, leaned forward slightly, and moved closer to Zhang Fan. Half resentful and half probing, she said, "I laugh at you, young master, for saying you'd arrest me, yet you can't even spare a prison cart. What do you plan to do with this rebel leader when you take me back to Xianyang?"
Faced with her probing, Zhang Fan remained unmoved, unfazed, and ruthlessly shattered her illusions:
"Xiang Liang abandoned you like a pawn, and you still expect these old nobles to lead you to restore Chu? It's a joke!"
He paused, his tone becoming sterner: "When we get back, you'll definitely be punished severely!"
Upon hearing this, Mi Yueyao smiled slightly.
She lowered her head, gently touched her stomach, and said nothing more.
Silence returned to the carriage.
……
Meanwhile, in Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.
Inside the residence of the Junior Minister.
"Snapped!"
A porcelain vase was smashed on the ground, shattering into pieces.
After hearing the servant's report, Shao Fuzong was furious.
Ji Honglou of Shangdang County must be inextricably linked to Zhang Fan. The coal theft was easily framed by Zhang Fan, and with that person dead, there was no way to verify the story.
Thinking of this, Zong Yu's face turned cold, and his fists clenched tightly.
Just then, a report came from outside the door that Prime Minister Li Si had come to visit late at night.
Zong Yu suppressed his anger and went out to greet them.
Li Si came here specifically to inquire about the progress of the papermaking arrangements.
"Lord of the Imperial Household, the first imperial examination in the Great Qin Dynasty is about to be implemented. This matter must not be overlooked!" Li Si said bluntly.
Zong Yu immediately replied with a smile, "Prime Minister, rest assured, the paper mill is producing on a large scale. There is already a considerable amount of paper available for sale on the market for students from poor families."
After hearing this, Li Si glanced at the ground and noticed the shattered porcelain scattered everywhere. He then asked:
"What has made the young master so angry?"
Zong Yu's expression changed, but he quickly recovered and explained, "It's nothing, it was just that the servant was ignorant and accidentally broke it."
Li Si nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions.
He had a minor disagreement with Zong Yu in the imperial court before.
Now it seems Zong Yu has acted with composure. However, since this concerns the crucial imperial examination plan, I should still be cautious!
After Li Si left, Shao Fu Zong Yu's face instantly turned so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it.
"You old fox! Trying to get information out of me?"
Zong Yu snorted coldly, returned to his desk, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. "Zhang Fan, even if you framed a dead man for stealing coal and cleared yourself of all charges, so what?"
"Do you really think I can't handle you?"
