After walking out of the palace and before the two of them went back to their mansions, Xiao Yuan suddenly stopped, looked at Xiao Ting with a smile, and said, "Brother Wang, do you really think that Xiang Mei kidnapped Ren Fang's family?"
Xiao Ting was startled, met Xiao Yuan's gaze, and asked, "What else?"
Xiao Yuan said slowly: "I feel that with Xiangmei's usual behavior, she may not do such a thing."
Xiao Ting was happy and asked with a smile: "If it's not Xiangmei, who is it?"
Xiao Yuan shrugged, saying that he didn't know either. After pondering for a while, he changed the subject and said half-jokingly: "Brother Wang, it's not you who did it, right? Otherwise, how could Brother Wang be so confident in front of Ren Fang just now?" Is there any guarantee that his family will be found?”
Xiao Ting was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and smiled, and said: "Can Brother Yuan take the words of comfort for a moment seriously? But having said that, I think Brother Yuan is probably the one who planned this matter."
"oh?"
"Brother Yuan has secretly cultivated many cronies, and his dead soldiers must be in the thousands, if not tens of thousands. And as far as I know, Brother Yuan also has an internal agent in the Lieutenant's Mansion. He wants to obtain the armaments and seals of the Lieutenant's Mansion. It’s not difficult.”
Xiao Yuan blinked his eyes, then burst out laughing. He held his hands to Xiao Ting and said, "Brother Wang, you and I should stop being suspicious of each other. Now, we should cooperate sincerely."
"What Brother Yuan said makes sense." Xiao Ting and Xiao Yuan each had their own agenda, and they talked about it for a while before going back to their homes.
On the surface, Xiao Ting and Xiao Yuan seem to have united, but in fact, neither of them trusts the other, and each has its own plans. Both of them intend to seek the throne, so how can they truly trust each other?
Let's just let it go. After leaving Xiao Ting and Xiao Yuan, they immediately mobilized their troops and first conducted a comprehensive search of the residences of the officials in the DPRK.
The ministers in the court had all agreed to accept Ren Fang's search. Now that Ren Fang's soldiers were visiting with great fanfare, they naturally could not stand up to obstruct it.
It's just that the results of the search disappointed Ren Fang. The news returned by various people was basically the same. There were no clues, and no trace of his family was found at all. Afterwards, Ren Fang personally led people to search the prince's mansion and the princess' mansion everywhere.
The first thing he went to search was Xiao Xiang's princess mansion. Now the most powerful party in the DPRK is Xiao Xiang's faction, and the person Ren Fang wants to eliminate first is Xiao Xiang.
When Ren Fang led people to the princess's mansion, all the gates of the princess's mansion were opened, and they were ready to be searched.
There was another guard leader waiting outside the door. After seeing Ren Fang, he quickly walked forward, bowed his hands and saluted, and said, "General Ren, the princess has been waiting in the lobby for a long time."
Ren Fang nodded, turned around and said to his subordinates: "Be careful when searching. Don't damage any plants or trees in the princess's mansion, let alone disturb the people in the princess's mansion."
"General, I obey!" All the generals stepped in and responded.
After the explanation, Ren Fang followed the leader of the guards into the princess mansion and went straight to the lobby. Xiao Xiang had indeed been waiting for him for a long time. When she saw Ren Fang walking in from the outside, she said with a smile: "I thought General Ren would be the first to check out my princess' mansion."
Ren Fang's face straightened, he bowed and saluted, and said: "I'm scared at the end. If there is anything that disturbs the princess today, I hope the princess will be spared."
"General Ren, you don't have to be polite. You can be regarded as my savior. If such a big thing happened in General Ren's family, I should help you." Xiao Xiang smiled and waved her hand and said, "General Ren, please take a seat. !”
"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Ren Fang saluted again, then knelt down beside him. Soon, a servant brought tea, cakes, and fruits and placed them in front of him one by one.
Xiao Xiang asked lightly: "I heard that General Ren went to search the official residences of the ministers first?"
"Exactly."
"How is the result?"
Ren Fang shook his head slightly and whispered: "Nothing was found."
Xiao Xiang was not surprised. If there was any discovery, Ren Fang would not come to her. She said slowly and lightly: "It makes sense that such a big thing is definitely beyond the ability of the ministers of the DPRK."
Ren Xin was disturbed and asked: "What does Her Royal Highness mean..."
Xiao Xiang said quietly: "I think that the first person to win over General Ren should be the most suspicious person."
Ren Fang understood what she meant. She was obviously alluding to Xiao Ting and Xiao Yuan. Interestingly, Xiao Ting and Xiao Yuan also said that Xiao Xiang was the most suspicious in front of him. Before he could answer, Xiao Xiang continued: "I know that the two royal brothers will definitely tell General Ren that I am the real culprit behind the scenes. However, I can honestly tell General Ren that something big is going to happen." , I disdain to use such despicable means, even without the help of General Ren, I am determined to win the throne, no one can stop me!" When speaking, Xiao Xiang's eyes shone brightly, and his chin was slightly raised! , high-spirited and full of vigor, naturally exuding an aura of indifference.
Ren Fang had not seen such a domineering Xiao Xiang for a long time. For a moment, he even had the illusion that the person sitting in front of him was not the princess, but the king.
He regained consciousness, subconsciously straightened his body, lowered his head and said, "Yes! I will understand."
"General Ren, it's good that you understand." Xiao Xiang's sharp face disappeared, and she showed a gentle smile again, saying calmly: "I am just worried that General Ren will be instigated by the traitors and do irrational things."
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I know my limits." Ren Fang said seriously.
"Yes!" Xiao Xiang nodded, and then said meaningfully: "If we continue to search like this, there will be no results at all..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a general of Ren Fang strode in from outside. He first saluted Xiao Xiang, and then came to Ren Fang and whispered: "General, the front yard of the princess's mansion has been searched, and nothing was found."
Ren Fang didn't say much, but waved his hand outward without leaving a trace, and the general saluted and retreated. After the generals left, Ren Fang looked at Xiao Xiang in confusion and asked, "What do you mean, princess?"
Xiao Xiang smiled and said, "If I was the one who ordered the criminals, do you think I would be stupid enough to hide your family in my house?"
Ren Fang took a breath subconsciously, rolled his eyes, and pondered for a long time, then said, "But, we have searched all the places that can be searched in Zhaoyang City, and I have not found any trace of my family."
Xiao Xiang's smile became even stronger, and she said with a hint of meaning, "After all, there will be some places that Ren Fang will hide. The army can't find it. "While speaking, she yawned, then stood up and said, "I'm tired, General Ren, please sit for a while, I'll leave you."
Ren Fang hadn't figured out what Xiao Xiang meant, but seeing that she had already walked out, he couldn't force her to ask, so he had to stand up quickly, bowed and said, "I respectfully send the princess off."
Soon after Xiao Xiang left, the generals who had searched all over the princess's mansion returned one after another. Everyone brought back similar information, no traces of the criminals, let alone Ren Fang's family.
Ren Fang was not surprised that there were no clues in the princess's mansion. Xiao Xiang was the first one to stand up and express her willingness to accept his search. If there were hostages in her mansion, how dare she do this?
Such a result also made Ren Fang breathe a sigh of relief. At least it was confirmed that the matter had nothing to do with the fifth princess, and he didn't have to be an enemy of the fifth princess.
However, Xiao Xiang's last words to him kept lingering in his mind. The ministers, princes, and princesses had all accepted his search, so what else in Zhaoyang could he not find? Was the princess playing tricks, or was there something he had overlooked?
Ren Fang left the princess's mansion with a lot of questions in his mind, and then he led people to Xiao Ting's prince's mansion.
In the next two days, Ren Fang personally led his troops to search all the princes' and princesses' mansions, and the search was so thorough that he almost dug three feet into the ground, but the final result was the same, no discovery, no clues, nothing was found.
So far, the huge Zhaoyang City has been turned upside down by Ren Fang, but his family and the gangsters seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, with no trace left.
Now it has been six days since his family was kidnapped, and Ren Fang is really in despair. After thinking it over, he finally decided to ask one person for help, Xiao Xiang.
He knew very well that Xiao Xiang would never help him without reason. The only result of asking Xiao Xiang for help would be that he would rely on her and join Xiao Xiang's faction, but now he could not care so much.
Xiao Xiang seemed to have expected Ren Fang to visit again. She was not surprised at all and met Ren Fang calmly and calmly.
After the meeting, Xiao Xiang pretended to be concerned and asked: "General Ren, have you found out the whereabouts of your family in the past few days?"
Ren Fang smiled bitterly. In the past, he only knew that Xiao Xiang was an arrogant and willful princess. Relying on the king's favor, she was arrogant and domineering. He didn't know when she had become so scheming and scheming.
He shook his head and said, "Reporting to the princess, I have not found any clues."
"Oh?" Xiao Xiang said slowly, "More than a dozen living people and hundreds of criminals cannot disappear inexplicably. Even if they are dead, there should be corpses left. I guess General Ren still hasn't searched all the places in the city!"
Ren Fang sighed. He really didn't have the patience to play dumb with Xiao Xiang. He bowed and said, "I have indeed searched all the places in the city. If there are still omissions, please...please let the princess know!"
"Haha, so General Ren came to visit today to ask for my help?" Xiao Xiang stood up, walked around the table, and came to Ren Fang. Seeing that the latter was about to get up, she waved her hand, indicating that Ren Fang didn't need to be polite.
