Chapter 280 Tell the Truth
He also didn't know what kind of person he was in Yu'er's heart! Suppressing the strangeness in his heart, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but look at Wen Zhiqing who was working diligently on the side. Seeing his nervous face, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but ask:
"Lord Wen never comes to see me without a reason. I wonder what brings you here to see me this time!"
Hearing Xiao Jingchuan's question, Wen Zhiqing's eyes darkened slightly, and he felt a little nervous. However, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He immediately looked at Xiao Jingchuan and asked, "Your Highness, you are joking. Since I know that Your Highness is here, I naturally have to come and visit you!"
Wen Zhiqing watched Xiao Jingchuan lift up the teacup and gently skim off the foam, and immediately had the answer in his heart. Since he had come in front of Xiao Jingchuan, he naturally would not hide it, and immediately told him the purpose of his trip.
"This humble servant has come here to trouble His Royal Highness Prince Jing with something. I heard that Zong Wenzhi is in His Royal Highness Prince Jing's hands. I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Jing could do me a favor and let me meet him so that I can clarify my doubts!"
Listening to Wen Zhiqing's words, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't know where Wen Zhiqing got the news from, knowing that Zong Wenzhi was in his hands.
"How did Lord Wen know that Zong Wenzhi was in my hands?"
You have to know that Zong Wenzhi's identity is special. He is the prince of Nanmo Kingdom, but few people know about it. How did Wen Zhiqing know this? If he hadn't sent people to monitor his whereabouts, then Wen Zhiqing must have known about Zong Wenzhi's abnormality for a long time, which is why he knew it so clearly.
Wen Zhiqing knew that if he could not tell the truth, not only would he not be able to see Zong Wenzhi, but it would also make His Royal Highness Prince Jing wary, which was not the result he wanted to see.
At that moment, Wen Zhiqing looked at Xiao Jingchuan and said with a firm gaze: "In reply to your Highness, I have been tracking down the culprit who destroyed my Wen family. When I was in Dongli Kingdom, I had already found out that this matter was related to His Royal Highness Prince Rui's master.
But when he was in Dongli Kingdom, Zong Wenzhi had King Rui as his backer, so naturally I could not touch him. Fortunately, I learned that he was going to Nanmo Kingdom, so I sent people to follow him, and thus learned a lot of his secrets.
However, there was no news of him later. According to the servants, the last place Zong Wenzhi appeared was in the palace of Nanmo Kingdom. They were not allowed to enter or leave the palace, so they could only wait outside. After waiting for several days, there was no sign of Zong Wenzhi. However, that night, His Royal Highness Prince Jing did not return until very late, so this humble official boldly guessed that Zong Wenzhi would definitely not be a match for the prince.
Zong Wenzhi's disappearance coincided with the time when His Royal Highness Prince Jing came and went, so I guessed that Zong Wenzhi must be in His Royal Highness Prince Jing's hands."
After Wen Zhiqing finished speaking, he stood with his head down, quietly waiting for Xiao Jingchuan's question.
You must know that Dongli Kingdom is now controlled by Xiao Jinrui. Even if His Royal Highness Prince Jing has a divine eye, it is impossible for him to capture Xiao Jinrui without a single soldier. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Zong Wenzhi, as Xiao Jinjing Chuan Huirui's master, naturally knows a lot. If Prince Jing can open Zong Wenzhi's mouth, it will naturally be more effective. He then boldly guessed that Zong Wenzhi must be in His Royal Highness Prince Jing's hands.
Seeing Wen Zhiqing tell the truth, Xiao Jingchuan was a little surprised, but it was understandable. After all, Wen Zhiqing's ability was obvious to all. If it weren't for his impure motives, he would definitely make good use of him. But at the moment, it wouldn't prevent him from using him for his own benefit! Thinking of this, Xiao Jingchuan's eyes flashed with a smile, and he immediately looked at Wen Zhiqing and said:
"Lord Wen is right. Zong Wenzhi is indeed in my hands, but his mouth is not so easy to pry open. I wonder if Lord Wen has any good ideas?"
Looking at the look Xiao Jingchuan was giving him, Wen Zhiqing naturally understood what Xiao Jingchuan meant. Although the process might be a little uncomfortable, it was undoubtedly the best way for him.
Moreover, compared to the arrogant Xiao Jinrui, he would rather follow His Royal Highness Prince Jing. This way, he would have the opportunity to repay his kindness. Thinking of the woman who pulled him out of the abyss, Wen Zhiqing couldn't help but feel a little bitter. Even if he couldn't express his feelings, being able to protect her in disguise was already a luxury for him. Putting away the strangeness in his heart, Wen Zhiqing immediately looked at Xiao Jingchuan and said respectfully:
"If His Royal Highness Prince Jing trusts me, then I am willing to serve you. Just hand Zong Wenzhi over to me. Within three days, I will make him confess honestly!"
For a man who had walked out of hell, there were naturally many ways to make him explain himself.
"Okay, in that case, I will wait for good news from Master Wen!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely not let you down!"
Xiao Jingchuan was naturally optimistic about Wen Zhiqing's ability, so he looked at Mu Yi and instructed:
"Take Lord Wen to see Zong Wenzhi, and follow Lord Wen's instructions in everything."
"Yes!"
Mu Yi looked at the weak and gentle Wen Zhiqing and wondered how his prince could trust such a pale-faced scholar. Would he be so frightened by the various torture instruments in the dungeon that his legs would go weak?
Suppressing the evil thoughts in his heart, Mu Yi brought Wen Zhiqing directly to the place where Zong Wenzhi was imprisoned.
Mu Yi, who had been watching Wen Zhiqing's embarrassment, felt a chill on his back after seeing Wen Zhiqing's methods. Without waiting for Wen Zhiqing to come out, Mu Yi walked directly out the door, and then came to a big tree and retched non-stop, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
You know, as the prince's secret guards, they usually deal with countless methods, but he feels that compared to Wen Zhiqing, he is still a little inferior. He swears that from now on, he will never judge people by appearance. How can this be a white-faced scholar! This is simply a black-faced devil!
After calming down for a while, Mu Yi took the letter off the carrier pigeon and walked towards the study with steady steps.

Jiang Shuyu had been recuperating here for a few days, and her complexion had obviously improved. When she learned that Xiao Jingchuan was going back to Dongli Kingdom, she couldn't help but worry. However, she knew that this battle was inevitable. Whether for Xiao Jingchuan or for their relatives, they had no choice but to face it head-on to gain a foothold.
When Jiang Shuyu came over, she saw Wen Zhiqing walking out in a daze. Seeing Wen Zhiqing's decadent appearance, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel a little confused.
