Chapter 103 Key Witnesses

Liu Jing rushed back to Fancheng. He was worried that Tao Zhan would be captured by Zhang Yun's people. Once Tao Zhan was arrested into the military camp, even if he slaughtered Zhang Yun in the end, he would not be able to recover the possible damage Tao Zhan could suffer.

Liu Jing has never cared about a girl as much as he is today. He has not spent much time with her, but her wit, intelligence and beauty are deeply engraved in his heart.

Although he didn't want to face some things, he had to admit that he worked so hard to help the Tao family not because the Tao family could give him any favors, nor because he had any noble character for helping others.

Of course, it is undeniable that Liu Jing has the intention to win over the Tao family, but at this moment, it is largely because he has ulterior motives.

Liu Jing ran away from his horse, and soon ran back to his residence, turned over and got off the horse, knocked on the door quickly. Soon, the door creaked and opened a crack, revealing the little bun's round and big eyes, "It's your son!"

The horror in her eyes suddenly turned into joy. She opened the door and patted her chest with joy, "I thought it was a robber who came to the door."

"Are you okay?"

As soon as Liu Jing finished speaking, he saw Tao Zhan running to the yard. His beautiful eyes were filled with concern and expectation. Liu Jing's heart hanging in his throat suddenly fell.

Liu Jing nodded to her with a smile, and found that there was another little maid next to her, who was only eleven or twelve years old, about the same age as Xiao Baozi, with a pretty face and a good look.

"Young Master, is there any news?" Tao Zhan walked up and asked nervously.

"There is a little news, let's go to the study to talk."

Liu Jing closed the door and walked into the study room. He was slightly stunned. He found that his study room was cleaned up, and more than a dozen rolls of bamboo slips were randomly placed on the table and were also neatly arranged. Was this daughter cleaned up for him?

He knew it was not a little bun, so he didn't allow Xiao bun to touch the things in his study. Liu Jing felt a little warm and he swept behind him from the corner of his eyes, and Tao Zhan happened to walk in.

Liu Jing immediately pretended to be nothing and asked her to sit down. The little bun served two cups of tea. Liu Jing asked Tao Zhan with concern: "I'm not here today, you haven't gone out!"

Tao Zhan shook his head, "I didn't go out, I asked Xiao Baozi to find Gillian."

It turned out that the maid was named Ajiao. Liu glanced at the little maid standing at the door, timid and looked quite timid.

"Young Master, how is the situation?" Tao Zhan asked softly.

"I got the news from You Jiao today because Tao Jiao soldier 300 military crossbows and thousands of swords were caught by Zhang Yun's navy. Now everyone is detained in the navy camp,"

"Then what?"

Tao Zhan continued to ask again, her expression was extremely calm and she was not angry at all.

Liu Jing was a little surprised at her calmness. He thought Tao Zhan would stand up and scold Zhang Yun angrily, but he didn't expect that she was so calm and composed, which made Liu Jing seem to see another Tao Zhan.

A calm, rational and capable of handling major issues.

Liu Jing also calmed down and continued: "Then I went to the state yamen, found Kuai Yue, and asked him to help plead with him. There is no result now."

Tao Zhan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head to stare at Liu Jing, his clear eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.

"Young Master, that fleet is undoubtedly the missing fleet. The mastermind should be Zhang Yun. He framed the Tao family with the purpose of extorting money from the Tao family. If so, they will not hurt my second uncle for the time being, but everyone else is probably tortured and forced to record confessions. The situation is not good for the Tao family."

Speaking of this, Tao Zhan sighed softly, "Actually, it is easy for them to make the second uncle surrender. As long as they catch me, the second uncle will definitely surrender."

Liu Jing blurted out, "That's why I rushed back in a hurry, afraid that you would be taken away by them."

Tao Zhan bit his lip lightly, lowered his head shyly, and a sweet feeling surged in his heart. It turned out that he cared about himself so much. Yesterday he thought he didn't take him seriously.

After a moment, she whispered again: "If Mr. Jing is not at ease with my safety, I can put on makeup."

Liu Jing slapped his forehead hard. How could he forget this important thing? Tao Zhan can cover it up by dressing up as a man. He said happily: "The girl should have told me earlier, so I don't have to worry so much."

Tao Zhan gave him a blank look and said coquettishly: "Do you think I can't think of it? I just put it in Gillian's hand and found her half an hour ago. He just wanted to put it on and you came back."

Liu Jing was completely relieved and stood up and smiled, "I'll feel relieved like this. Stay at home honestly. I'll go inquire about the news and find a way to rescue your second uncle first."

When Tao Zhan heard him say 'stay at home', his pretty face turned slightly red, but when he saw that he was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Young Master, wait!"

Liu Jing scratched his head, "What else should I explain?"

"Sit down first, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Liu Jing sat down. When Tao Zhan saw him obedient, he was happy and couldn't help but smile. After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, the key to this matter lies in the attitude of the provincial governor. Even if Zhang Yun said that the evidence is conclusive, it would be useless if the provincial governor does not want to make things difficult for the Tao family. Is the young master planning to see the provincial governor?"

Liu Jing nodded, "I want to explain this to my uncle in person."

"If the young master sees the governor of the state, he might as well tell him that the Tao family has 200,000 stones of grain in Yuzhang County. If Jingzhou does not persecute the Tao family, the Tao family is willing to offer the 200,000 stones of grain to the governor of the state. If the governor of the state must listen to the slander and frame the Tao family, then the Tao family will burn both jade and stone, and the governor of the state will regret it too late!"

At the end, Tao Zhan's tone became sonorous and powerful, and his expression was decisive and firm.

Liu Jing nodded silently, "I understand."

He got up and walked into the yard, walked a few steps and turned around and smiled, "Actually, there is no need to worry. I will transfer a team of soldiers to protect the house, not to be afraid that they will be tough."

Tao Zhan looked at Liu Jing and whispered: "Young Master, be careful, too."

Liu Jing looked at her deeply, turned around and strode away from the yard, turned over and urged the horse to go towards the city gate. When he watched Liu Jing walk away, Tao Zhan sighed with a sigh.

Xiao Baozi next to him covered his mouth and smiled, saying to her: "Actually, my young master is quite gentle. If Miss Cai sees him treating you like this, she will definitely be so angry that she will be crazy."

"Oh? Is your young master not gentle to her?" Tao Zhan asked curiously.

"No! Last time, Miss Cai rushed into the young master's room, beat Uncle Meng, and cut the things to pieces. The young master grabbed her arm and threw it into the yard. It was like throwing a chicken and duck. We were all frightened. That was the baby princess of the Cai family!"

Tao Zhan felt interest in his heart. It turned out that there was such an interesting thing between Liu Jing and Cai Shaoyu, so what else?

She stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Baozi's hand and smiled, "This kind of thing is quite interesting. Don't you want to learn to dress up with me? We are talking while learning, okay?"

"OK!"

The little bun was so happy that he clapped his face, "We'll start now!"





















Liu Jing went to the military camp first and transferred a team of soldiers to guard his house. Then he left the city and headed towards the dock. As soon as he arrived at the dock, he heard someone calling him behind him, "Young Master Jing!"

When Liu Jing turned around, he saw that it was Li Jun, and he rode on a horse and waved to him from afar. Liu Jing was overjoyed and quickly turned his head and ran forward and asked, "Is there any news?"

Li Jun looked serious and nodded, "There is something important, please come with me!"

Li Jun urged the horse to go east, and Liu Jing followed behind. The two of them ran about seven or eight miles away, and arrived at a private house. Li Jun turned over and got off the horse, went forward and knocked on the door. The door opened a crack, revealing the face of a young man. Seeing that it was Li Jun, the man quickly opened the door.

"Young Master Jing, this is my friend's house."

Li Jun whispered to Liu Jing again: "My friend is working in the water camp prison."

Liu Jing was surprised. Is there any secret hidden in this yard? He looked around and followed Li Jun into the house. He walked into a small house. A pungent smell of medicine came to his face. He saw a person lying on a bed, with several wounds on his neck and on his body. He had been bandaged and a doctor next to him was packing up his things.

Seeing Li Jun come in, the doctor hurriedly said, "He is fine. He will be cured after recuperation for one or two months. The medicine and prescriptions are left behind. I will take a step first and find me if I have something to do."

The doctor did not dare to stay for a long time and left in a panic. Liu Jing glanced at the wounded and asked, "Who is he?"

"He is the key figure in this Tao family case!"

Liu Jing became interested and asked quickly: "How do you say this?"

"This man is called Wang Cheng, and he and the other person are undercover agents placed in the fleet by Zhang Yun. The military crossbows and swords in the cabin are hidden by them. As a result, they were captured by the navy and entered the water camp together and recorded their confessions. Just an hour ago, Zhang Yun ordered the killing of them to silence them, and the other of them was killed.

And this Wang Cheng was scammered by my friend in prison by using a fraudulent death, and then threw him into the river and was rescued by my brother whom I arranged in advance. Now he is not dead. He can prove that it was Zhang Yun who designed to assassinate the Tao family."

This key witness made Liu Jing overjoyed. Li Jun was so capable that he could do such things.

No matter how Li Jun did it, Liu Jing was in a dark and bright spot at this time. With this key witness, Zhang Yun couldn't afford to take it.

"Is he willing to testify?"

As soon as Liu Jing finished asking, Wang Cheng, who was lying on the couch, said hoarsely: "I wish to testify for Mr. Jing!"

Li Jun next to him smiled and added: "This person is the chief of the Shui Jun. He was once Zhang Yun's confidant. Many people know him. He pretended to be a guy Tao and also recorded his confession. His fingerprints were on the confession. As soon as the fingerprints were checked, Zhang Yun's conspiracy would be immediately exposed.

Liu Jing walked forward and said to Wang Cheng: "If you are willing to cooperate with me to testify, I can save your life."

At this time, Wang Cheng, who was lying on the couch, hated Zhang Yun so much that Zhang Yun promised to give them a hundred taels of gold to let them go home. It was precisely because he was his confidant that Wang Chengcai believed Zhang Yun, but he did not expect that in the end, Zhang Yun would kill them to silence him, which made Wang Chenghan feel deeply. Whether it was to repay kindness or revenge, he would expose Zhang Yun.

"I...I am willing to serve the young master!"
