A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

192 Brother

Lan Zhong bowed to Jiang Ying and Ning Yue in fear. Jiang Ying raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to be so polite.

“I think you know very well why I’m here.” Jiang Ying couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on him and told him why he was here.

Lan Zhong wanted to say that he didn’t know, but when he met Jiang Ying’s gaze, he swallowed the answer.

“I wonder if Lord Heir is here for Meng Hang?” Lan Zhong asked.

“Since you know, tell me everything you know,” Jiang Ying said.

Lan Zhong sighed and struggled for a while before telling Jiang Ying everything he knew.

It turned out that Meng Hang had thoughts of rebellion.

Hearing the word rebellion, Jiang Ying’s eyelids twitched.

“Lan Zhong, let me tell you. The rebellion is very serious. If it’s true, you’ll have made a great contribution. If it’s fake, your entire family will be executed.” Jiang Ying said to Lan Zhong solemnly with a straight face.

Lan Zhong swallowed and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead before replying, “What I said might not be true. I learned it from Madam Lin. As for the evidence, I might need the two of you to find it yourselves.”

It turned out that the two princes were the ones who had rebelled with Meng Hang.

However, Prince Ning and Prince Qi had already been arrested. Why hadn’t Meng Hang been investigated?

Jiang Ying and Ning Yue looked at each other and did not say anything else. They continued to listen to Lan Zhong.

He said a lot about Meng Hang, making them dizzy.

It wasn’t that they didn’t understand, but there were too many things to think about.

It wasn’t easy for them to calm down when Lan Zhong finished speaking.

Jiang Ying did not say anything else. He only instructed Lan Zhong not to act rashly for the time being. “I know you want to save your son, but think about it carefully. He’s the son of the Governor now, not yours. If you can cooperate with us, I might consider helping you save your son,” Jiang Ying said.

With Jiang Ying’s words, Lan Zhong was much more relieved. He immediately put on a smile and said to Jiang Ying, “I’ll definitely cooperate. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely tell you everything I know.”

With Lan Zhong’s assurance, Jiang Ying did not say anything else and left with Ning Yue.

Ning Yue thought speechlessly about the forced confession potions she had concocted. She had yet to use it. What a waste.

However, she could still save it for the next time.

“What are you thinking about?” Jiang Ying couldn’t help but ask when he saw that she looked troubled.

“Nothing. I was just wondering why it was so easy for Lan Zhong to confess. Does he want the governor dead too?”

According to the evidence, Lan Zhong had relied on Madam Lin’s status in the Governor’s family to get to where he was today. Otherwise, how could an ordinary merchant have achieved this?

“These things are a headache. Since we know that Meng Hang is plotting a rebellion, we have to find evidence from this angle. However, it doesn’t seem like we can find it for now.”

With Meng Hang’s cautiousness, this evidence would definitely be in an unexpected place. They might not be able to find it.

“Yueyue, what do you think of the place where Meng Hang might hide the evidence?” Jiang Ying asked.

Hearing Jiang Ying’s words, Ning Yue couldn’t help but laugh. She replied, “It’s nothing. I think we should tear down his house and see what there is.”

In any case, the governor’s house would definitely be raided. There was no problem in demolishing it in advance.

“That’s one way,” Jiang Ying said.

At this moment, a person who claimed to be Meng Lang asked to see him. Ning Yue and Jiang Ying looked at each other and saw confusion in each other’s eyes.

Who was this person?

When she saw this person, she realized that he was not someone she knew. “Who are you?” Ning Yue asked.

“I’m Meng Hang’s younger brother, Meng Lang. I can’t stand what my brother has done and have been looking for a way out. When I heard that the two nobles were here, I planned to come and try my luck,” Meng Lang said.

Meng Lang? Ning Yue frowned tightly. This person looked a little sloppy. What could he know?

“What do you know? Tell me,” Ning Yue said.

“I know there’s something wrong with my brother’s rockery,” Meng Lang said.

At the side, Jiang Ying remained silent. He remembered that none of the information he received after getting someone to investigate mentioned that Meng Hang had a younger brother.

Now, he suddenly had a younger brother. What was going on?
