Fang Shaoyan flatly denied it, and she felt a little guilty when she said it. She knew clearly whether she was investigating information for Yang Rui.↑ She didn't want to come to Luoyang this time, but she was a spy in the court, but now she wanted to do business for the Beiwang Mansion. She was afraid of revenge when she returned to her hometown. Unfortunately, Li Yu and the people in the Beiwang Mansion would not think about this and thought she was useful, especially Li Yu felt that she could be used to deal with the chess piece of the Dongwang Mansion, so she would bring her to Luoyang.

"Oh? In this way, are you still secretly planning for Your Majesty?" Han Jian asked with a slightly stern tone.

Fang Shaoyan originally wanted to use her keenness as a spy for many years to avoid Han Jian's investigation, and she also thought that this young man would not be difficult to deal with. After all, Han Jian was very gentle when he met Han Jian several times before, and he seemed to have no suspicion of her identity. But now, she found that it was difficult to hide it like this. It was almost a fantasy for her to continue making up stories to deceive Han Jian.

Faced with Han Jian's question, Fang Shaoyan simply chose to avoid answering. While silently, she was actually very confused inside and didn't know how Han Jian would deal with her.

Han Jian seemed to ease his tone and asked, "How many gifts did Li Yu ask you to bring to Luoyang this time?"

Fang Shaoyan still didn't know how to answer. The gift giving was confidential, and only the gift giving to the Dongwang Mansion was made public. For other ministers, gift giving were done through some secret channels. Even if some people or some channels were found by the Dongwang Mansion, she was still confident that the Dongwang Mansion would not have much information on this. She also believed that as long as she did not let go, Han Jian would not be able to find any results from herself.

Seeing Fang Shaoyan continue to pretend to be confused and silent, Han Jian couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at this list, are there any missing?"

As he said that, Han Jian took out a list and handed it to Fang Shaoyan.

Fang Shaoyan didn't want to see it, but she couldn't help but want to see how much things the Dongwang Mansion had mastered.

When she saw it, she couldn't open her eyes. The list was so rich that she couldn't imagine it. Many people only occasionally heard that Li Yu might give her gifts, but she didn't expect that she would appear on the list.

She was also a little grateful in the end because some people on this list were "out of the plan" and gave gifts to him as a cover like the Dongwang Mansion, in order to distract from the relationship between these people and the court, including Lin Ke and others. In this way, the Dongwang Mansion seemed to have not made much money. But then I thought about it and thought that this was not what the Dongwang Mansion wanted. Perhaps the Dongwang Mansion needed such a way to attack political enemies like Lin Ke?

"Your Highness, the civilian woman doesn't quite understand what you mean." Fang Shaoyan replied calmly, "The civilian woman is just a businessman. Even if she has served Your Majesty, she is just asking for information for Your Majesty and has not done anything that would harm the interests of the court. Now she has returned to Luoyang just to visit an old friend. Your Majesty's gift or not, in fact, has nothing to do with me. Li Zuocheng is a relative of the Northern Prince's Mansion. She has a close relationship with the Northern Prince's Mansion, but is not familiar with me. Getting up and coming with him, or it is a coincidence in time."

"What a coincidence, it seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin."

Han Jian said something, as if he was a little angry, and when Fang Shaoyan thought Han Jian was furious because he had not obtained information from her, he glanced up at Han Jian and saw that Han Jian seemed to be looking at the rain outside leisurely, and seemed to have no concern for her.

This made her feel even more upset.

A long time later, when Fang Shaoyan thought Han Jian had forgotten his existence, Han Jian took back his appearance from the window and sighed softly: "It seems that you are still very alert to me."

"His Highness the Eastern King is the most proud minister in front of the king. The civilian woman is just a civilian woman. How can it be compared? The civilian woman dare not make any mistakes in front of the palace."

"Yes." Han Jian looked out the window again and said, "Here you come."

Fang Shaoyan was very confused and didn't know what Han Jian was talking about.

Naturally, she didn't dare to look out. Her seat was not conducive to observing the scenery outside the window. There was the sound of rain outside, but her ears were also very sharp. Then she realized that someone might have come. Because of some people's footsteps, they stopped downstairs of the teahouse.

Then there was a sound from the other side of the stairs. Fang Shaoyan didn't dare to look back, but he also heard someone coming upstairs. It seemed that there was not only one person.

After all, the person went upstairs and stood not far behind Fang Shaoyan. Fang Shaoyan felt a little nervous. Since Han Jian asked her to come and brought someone to her to show her, what is the identity of this person, what is his relationship with her, or what is involved in the gifts she came to give is all questions that she cares about but dare not ask. If she dared to look back in front of others, she was just facing the King of Dong, a person who seemed to see herself thoroughly and with power, she had the courage and no confidence in her heart.

Han Jian looked at the person who came upstairs. He was a man in his twenties. His clothes were gorgeous, but he was a little embarrassed. First, it was because he had been wet with rain, and second, because he was stained with mud. Perhaps he tried to resist when he was taken down. Some of his nose and face were swollen and even his breath was not even symmetrical.

When he came upstairs, the young man was directly pressed to the ground and said nothing, but after seeing the person sitting in front of him, he called out: "Auntie, save me!"

This sound scared Fang Shaoyan.

This person is none other than Xu Qing's only son Xu Shaoan, and the son of Fang Shaoyan, who was taken care of when Han Songshi went to Jiangdu to do business.

Xu Shaoan was born to Xu Qing's original wife. Fang Shaoyan married her. Although she had political intentions, she was still harmonious for more than a year when she spent Xu Qing. Later, Xu Qing was killed, and she still took on the responsibility of taking care of the family. She also treated Xu Shaoan as her own. After all, Yang Ru did not involve Xu Qing's family back then, but just killed Xu Qing alone. Xu Shaoan was able to grow up in an environment without being involved in politics.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

This time Fang Shaoyan couldn't sit still.

Even Xu Shaoan was captured by the King of Dong, and she herself did not receive any news in advance. She always thought that Xu Shaoan was still doing business in other places, and as for why she was arrested and came to Luoyang City, she didn't know at all.

Fang Shaoyan was panicked, and he stood up from his seat, but he did not dare to approach Xu Shaoan.

Han Jian was still sitting upright as usual, and smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the lady is going to pretend to be confused again. Doesn't the lady know that the son is actually related to this matter?"

"No way!" Fang Shaoyan said, "Your Highness, please do not slander people. Everything is done by a civilian woman. The disaster will not be as good as the family. Shaoan is just an ordinary merchant. Your Highness's words are really detrimental to your prestige!"

When Han Jian heard Fang Shaoyan's words so affirmation, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Why don't you ask the son-in-law yourself?"

Fang Shaoyan was slightly stunned, feeling that the confidence of the East King was a little unusual. She turned her head and Xu Shaoan, who was still asking for help from her, lowered her head at this time and didn't even dare to face it. Fang Shaoyan also noticed that there was a ghost in it. As for what Han Jian said, "It is related to this matter", whether it is related to the gift or something else, she was also confused.

"What do you mean by Mr. Xu?" Han Jian said, "If you talk honestly, I will let you go for the sake of Lingtang. If you don't believe in me and don't want to say it, that's fine. I will not let those who harm the court go. You should know what will happen to you."

"I said, I said, I will tell you honestly!"

As a young man who is just about twenty years old, Xu Shaoan is not as good as Han Jian's mental quality. Now he is already a prisoner. If he just confesses his faults in front of his concubine, he can be forgiven by the Eastern King. What's wrong? After being taken down by the people of the Eastern King's Mansion, he thought he would die. Now he will not take care of anything else when he sees the hope of survival.

"Tell me, what is the relationship with Li Yu, the left chief of the Northern Prince's Mansion?" Han Jian asked.

"Then...that's my adoptive father!" Xu Shaoan said directly.

These words scared Fang Shaoyan. When did Xu Shaoan and Li Yu know each other? She didn't even know.

She only thought she knew Li Yu and had received a lot of help from Li Yu, and wanted to repay her. Unexpectedly, even her son knew Li Yu and recognized Li Yu as her "adopted father".

Fang Shaoyan didn't dare to ask rashly, so he could only listen.

Han Jian continued to ask, "How much do you have to do with the Northern Prince's Mansion to discuss peacekeeping this time? Come one by one, if you hide it a little, don't say that I don't care about the mercy."

"Yes." Xu Shaoan swallowed his saliva, and said with a sad look on his face, "Actually... I just took the order of my wizard father and brought some gifts to some people in Luoyang, asking these people to help hand them over to the powerful people in Luoyang. Actually, I don't know who there are these people. There are a few of them that seem to have heard the following people mention, but after all, it was the wizard father's instructions, so I dare not ask too much, and I can only follow the order. The wizard father once promised me that when he returned to Beichuan, he would reward me and let me be an official, so that I would no longer be a merchant who looked at people's faces."

"It seems that your adoptive father is also very good to you." Han Jian said with a smile.

Xu Shaoan could naturally hear that this was not a good thing, so he remained silent.

Fang Shaoyan's face looked ugly. She thought that she was the only one involved in the Northern Palace, but she didn't expect that even Xu Shaoan had an inexplicable relationship with the people in the Northern Palace, and even hid her. Li Yu's sinister heart made her somewhat unexpected.

But according to Xu Shaoan's answer, it seemed that Li Yu didn't let him do anything too much, just came to give gifts like her.

"What about then?" Han Jian continued to ask.

"After that, after that, I followed my adoptive father's order and went to kill a few people. No one was thinking about killing me!"

As soon as he said this, Fang Shaoyan realized how naive he was. He actually thought that Li Yu contacted Xu Shaoan for his own good. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
