In Ye'an Pavilion, the early empress listened to the cry of Prince Yanning with expressionless face, and Han Jian, who was standing beside him, also imitated the empress with expressionless face, as if it was a trivial matter that was irrelevant to him.

"Your Majesty wants to make the decision for the old minister." The Prince of Yanning was crying when he arrived behind. The situation was as tragic as it was.

After hearing this, the queen looked up at Han Jian, as if asking, "Is it really what you guy did?"

"King Yanning, why don't you understand what you mean? When something suddenly starts, the people of the East will enter your house as if they are descending from the sky." Han Jian frowned, "Is it possible that King Yanning is suspected of being fired?"

The Prince of Yanning glared at Han Jian and said, "Why should the King of Eastern pretend to be confused when he understands it? If you hadn't instructed to set fire, why would your people appear outside my mansion by chance?"

The queen smiled and looked at Han Jian and asked, "Why are you explaining, Dong Wang?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the Prince of Yanning did misunderstand me. I received a rumor from the city that someone was going to go to the Tingwei Mansion to rob the prisoners and rescue some of the criminals involved in the corruption and deficit case of the Ministry of Revenue and the Treasury Department. I was anxious for a moment and did not report to Your Majesty, so I went to the Tingwei Mansion to check the situation. I waited for the news for a long time and thought it was wrong. It was not until this morning that I heard that the people I sent to help the Prince of Yanning put out the fire. This... the Prince of Yanning thought it was me who set fire... It's really... Alas! I don't know what to say."

The Prince of Yanning was still very anxious and said, "What are you talking about when you are Dong Wang?"

Because the Prince of Yanning was busy putting out the fire all night, he didn't know that the prison robbery happened in the Tingwei Mansion. He was now thinking about exposing Han Jian's trick of setting fires in front of the queen, but Han Jian suddenly said something he didn't know.

The queen sighed: "The emperor may not know that there was a riot in the morning Tingwei Mansion. Some riots took advantage of the chaos to rescue a group of criminals, all of whom were involved in the recent corruption case."

"Ah!" Prince Yanning said with a shame, "The old minister's mansion is close to the Tingwei Mansion, but... I don't know about this, and the old minister can't help but blame him."

The queen comforted, "Why should the emperor blame yourself? I think it was the rebels who wanted to get the tiger out of the mountain. First, they set fire on the imperial uncle's mansion, and then attracted the Tingwei's mansion to put out the fire. The rebels took the opportunity to rob the prisoners."

When the Prince of Yanning heard the queen say this, although he was full of suspicion, he could not say anything. To emphasize that the fire was released by Han Jian, it would be equivalent to saying that the King of Dong was a rebellion, and there was no evidence to say that he would bear the blame.

Han Jian hurriedly saluted: "I received the news in advance and sent people to the people below, but did not explain it clearly to the people below. I have also committed a crime."

The queen looked at Han Jian with a complicated look, and finally smiled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, Dongwang. I will take someone to investigate the prison robbery of the Tingwei Mansion. If the emperor's uncle has nothing to do, he will go back to deal with the affairs of the mansion first. If there is any loss, the inner treasury will allocate some money to properly repair it."

"Your Majesty is so serious." The Prince of Yanning said hurriedly. "The old minister has a vassal outside, and he collects a lot of rents and taxes every year. He must not use the inner treasury to pay for silver when repairing the mansion. The old minister can solve the problem properly."

"Then the emperor will go first. If you have any difficulties, just come to the palace and tell me that I will help you."

Prince Yanning thanked Qian En to leave the door. When he arrived at the door, he remembered that Han Jian was still inside. He glanced at Han Jian. Han Jian seemed to be left by the queen to question him. His expression changed a little, and he immediately went out.

Han Jian turned around and looked at the Prince of Yanning. When he saw the Prince of Yanning, he thought to himself that this old guy would not think that the queen was leaving him because she wanted to talk about the "mother-son friendship"?

"You all retreat!" The queen suddenly said to the palace maid and eunuch standing beside her.

"Yes!" All the palace maids and eunuchs left the door.

When everyone was out, the queen suddenly looked cold and slapped the table and said angrily: "King Dong, you did a good thing!"

Han Jian immediately bowed his hand and bowed his body lower.

"Your Majesty... don't get angry. You hurt the dragon's body." Han Jian said.

The queen glared at Han Jian, as if she was angry, but she also said with a little questioning tone: "If you understand my intentions, just save yourself some. You should go to the Yanning County Prince's Mansion to set fire first, and then send someone to put out the fire. What is your intention?"

Han Jianxin said that there was indeed a detailed work around him. He told the Queen all the news. He could not escape the Queen's eyes in anything.

Maybe in the past, when he did something irrelevant, the queen would turn a blind eye to her at most as if she didn't know. This time he was playing arson or burning the Yanning County Prince's Mansion, which was on par with him. The queen couldn't help but question him.

"Your Majesty, I... have my own difficulties." Han Jian said with a grievance.

When the queen saw Han Jian like this, she gave Han Jian a blank look and said, "You are not saying that you are still in contact with the rioters who robbed prisoners. Or, the robbery of prisoners was originally done by you?"

"Your Majesty... Well, be careful." Han Jianxin said that since he could not hide it, he would not hide it. It feels bad that he does bad things behind his back and is learned about everything in detail.

The queen seemed to have some anger on her face and said, "If you just send someone to set fire and no one is injured, I will only scold you for a few words and will not cure you for your sins. But now, you are neglecting the national laws and openly robbing and imprisoning. Do you know... what kind of crime is this?"

"Your Majesty calmed down." Han Jian said, "Everything I did is for the country."

"For the country, can you ignore the laws of the country?" The queen glared at Han Jian, but suddenly said in confusion, "Dongwang, those prisoners were already arrested by you, but now you have sent someone to rob the prisoner. What do you mean?"

Han Jian asked instead: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, is it your Majesty who hopes to harm the country deserves the crime or is it free from justice?"

"Of course, it's because you deserve it. If you do this, isn't it just to let it go unpunished?" the queen rebuked.

"I would like to ask again, Your Majesty believes that the people arrested are the masterminds of the corruption case?" Han Jian asked and answered, "These people embezzled more than 10 million taels of silver, but less than 20% of them actually invested in their pockets. Can you tell me why?"

The queen's expression calmed down a little, and she said, "Some things, Xi'er doesn't understand. Dong Wang, you should know very well who the person behind the scenes is!"

Han Jian smiled and nodded, "Since Your Majesty knows who he is, I think Your Majesty...I don't want to let him go to justice, right?"

After Han Jian said this, the queen frowned slightly, as if she was glaring at Han Jian, as if she was asking Han Jian.

"Dongwang, if you don't say it directly, it will suffocate my appetite. I will find someone to cure your sins."

"I dare not swear your Majesty's appetite." Han Jian heard that the queen had no intention of punishing him at all. She said so just to scare him and let him tell the truth quickly, "Your Majesty, I believe that it is not worthy of the crimes that those who commit crimes, either dismissed from office or exiled, or beheaded in public. They were in prison, and in order to protect their wives and children, they dared not confess the master behind the scenes. Kill them, and the master behind the scenes was even more jealous. Only by letting these criminals out of prison, in order to protect themselves, they would definitely try every means to avoid the court and try to contact the master behind the scenes. But the master behind the scenes was full of nights and dreams, and they would inevitably abandon the useless chess pieces. At that time, these criminals would know whether they should be honest with the court or continue to seek skin with the tiger."

Queen Bai Hanjian looked at it and seemed to be saying, "You kid does so much for this purpose?"

"Dongwang, I and you now know who the mastermind behind the scenes is? What's the use of you having such a big circle?"

Han Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty said that I am going around in circles, isn't your Majesty... also going around in circles?"

"You..." The Queen was really angry this time, "Is this your attitude to talk to me?"

"Your Majesty atones for his sins, I just use a less tactful way to express a doubt that has been lingering in my heart for a long time." Han Jian said with a tribute.

The queen thought about his words and had a doubt that had lingered in her heart for a long time? How old are you kids? Even if you can see things clearly, it doesn't prove that you can "linger" for a long time.

The queen said, "But it's okay."

"Your Majesty, I dared to say that Your Majesty is going around in circles, just thinking that since Your Majesty knows that this master behind the scenes is so harmful to the court, and knows that he is dissatisfied with Your Majesty, he is extremely guilty. Why can he tolerate his for so many years, and even ignore any clues he found, so that the master behind the scenes will continue to be free from justice?"

Han Jian said it very clearly. The Queen knew about the Northern King's covetousness of the throne for a long time, but the Queen has always endured it.

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Han Jian, thinking that this kid was obviously pretending to be confused. During the fraud case, she had already discovered that Han Jian had a high tolerance. She could obviously expand the results of the battle, but Han Jian stopped in time. The last time the fraud case spread to the entire court was ended in a way that turned big things into small things, minimizing the impact of the situation. Although Han Jian made a lot of noise in the subsequent corruption case, he finally investigated and dealt with officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Treasury Department, recovered most of the stolen money, and the matter was also developing in an incomplete direction.

But at this moment, Han Jian did something that surprised her, robbed the prison!?

"King Dong, since you have a lot of opinions about the envoy behind the scenes, and you still think that I am going around in circles, maybe... I will send you to get him back and punish me for his crime?" The queen said in a semi-sarcastic tone.

"Your Majesty is joking. I don't have that ability, I am just a prince..." Han Jian said with a shy smile.

"You are very humble, it's okay. If you bring the culprit, it's okay if I will be promoted to you by the prince." said the queen.

"Thank you, but I... don't want to mess up the court. After all, I am not the imperial surname and cannot be this prince. Besides, I am not capable of bringing the culprit." Han Jian said.

The queen gave Han Jian a blank look and said, "Then you dare to say that I'm going around in circles?"

"I just said that Your Majesty is going around in circles. Didn't Your Majesty also say that I'm going around in circles? In fact, I'm learning from Your Majesty in circles." Han Jian smiled, "I think that this circle has been almost done, and now it's time to close the net."

The queen asked, "How to collect it?"

"I believe that it is necessary to collect slowly, which requires an opportunity. When a fisherman encounters a big fish, he is afraid that the big fish will escape alertly. At this time, the best way is to interfere with the big fish's sight and make him focus on other things other than escaping. Then he will not notice the fishing net that is about to be closed. When the fishing net is tightened and the big fish wants to struggle, it will be useless and it will be difficult for him to fly."
