Chapter 364 Requesting a Warrant
Chapter 364 Requesting a Warrant
"Really?" Yang Manman confirmed.
"Really." Jiang Suining nodded.
"When?" Yang Manman asked anxiously.
"I'm still in prison now, why are you in such a hurry, Miss Yang?" Jiang Suining said slowly, "Besides, we haven't discussed the terms yet."
"Tell me, what are your conditions?"
Jiang Suining is a cunning man. He can stay so safely in this cell. He must have already prepared a way out. It is absolutely impossible for him to be trapped in this cell. I really did not find the wrong person.
Jiang Suining looked at Yang Manman and said, "I need you to help me get a warrant that allows me to enter and leave this prison."
Yang Manman was stunned, "What do you mean? You want to escape from prison?"
"Miss Yang, you're overthinking this. This prison escape is no joke. Even if you dare, I'm not that brave." Jiang Suining smiled and shook his head, "I just need to leave this prison temporarily. When I'm done with what I need to do, I'll naturally return to this prison."
"How is this possible? How can I get such a warrant?" Yang Manman immediately denied it.
"Bi Yingjie is the son of the Minister of Justice. Since you have a good relationship with him, you just need to find an opportunity to enter the Minister of Justice's mansion, get the seal of the Minister, and stamp it on the warrant."
Hearing Jiang Suining's relaxed tone, Yang Manman frowned, looked cautiously in the direction where Bi Yingjie had just left, and spoke in a low voice.
"Do you know what you are talking about? If this matter is discovered, it will be a big trouble."
"What Miss Yang said, asking me to frame the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, if it is discovered, won't there be trouble?"
"I..." Yang Manman choked.
Jiang Suining shook his head and said, "It seems that Miss Yang only intends to use people, but not to give benefits. What you said just now about being able to help me seems to be just empty talk now."
"I mean, I can ask my father to plead for you..."
"Will Duke Yang listen to you now? What reasons will you use to convince Duke Yang to plead for me?" Jiang Suining sneered, "Besides, if pleading would work, why would I need to rely on your Duke's Mansion? Shen Yanxi is now a close minister in front of the emperor, wouldn't it be easier to rely on him?"
Yang Manman was speechless for a moment.
Although she didn't want to, she had to admit that she was not sure she could convince her father to plead for Jiang Sui, and Jiang Suining's words did make sense. If it was just a plea, Shen Yanxi had more advantages than their Yangguo Mansion.
Pursing her lips and looking at Jiang Suining, Yang Manman thought quickly, "Although what you said makes sense, I was definitely not lying to you just now. Now that you are imprisoned in this prison, it is always good to have more help."
"But if the help is not enough to match my efforts, what's the point of coming?" Jiang Suining's expression revealed a decisiveness that could not be discussed. "My conditions are already here. If Miss Yang is unwilling to agree, then there is no need to discuss helping you to plot against Zhou Zixia. In addition..."
Jiang Suining smiled leisurely, "In order to avoid being charged with knowing the truth and not reporting it, if anything happens to Zhou Zixia later, I'm afraid I'll have to speak a few words as a witness."
Yang Manman's expression changed, "Are you threatening me?"
"Miss Yang, you may think so." Jiang Suining didn't care about Yang Manman's reaction at all, and kept smiling. "In fact, the warrant is not difficult to talk about. After all, the relationship between you and Bi Yingjie is there, so why not take advantage of it? Speaking of which, I saw that Bi Yingjie treats you very well before, maybe he can do it for you without you having to show up yourself."
"You make it sound too easy." Yang Manman said with a serious face.
Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "What? Could it be that not only Li Zheng ignored you, but even Bi Yingjie distanced himself from you?"
Yang Manman was startled and said quickly, "Of course not! If he was alienating me, how could he help me to see you today? What's more, I don't want Li Zheng and look down on the engagement with him. How can he ignore me!"
Seeing Yang Manman trying so hard to save face, Jiang Suining shook his head indifferently.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, if Miss Yang wants me to take action, please help me get a warrant."
Yang Manman pursed her lips and did not respond immediately, but looked at Jiang Suining suspiciously.
"Could it be that you are really locked up in this prison and can't get out by yourself?"
Otherwise, why would Jiang Suining ask me to get a warrant?
"Of course I can go out, but it's not time yet. But you can rest assured, if you get a warrant, I will have someone do it for you when I temporarily leave this cell. I guarantee that Zhou Zixia will be driven out of the imperial city soon."
Jiang Suining's expression was too calm. Besides, Yang Manman had suffered a lot at her hands before, so she did not doubt her ability.
It's just a matter of the warrant...
Yang Manman was really unsure.
Just as she was hesitating, Bi Yingjie hurried over.
"Come on."
"The time of one stick of incense has passed so quickly?" Yang Manman asked subconsciously.
"Not yet, but the fifth princess is here and asked to see Jiang Suining. Let's get out of the way." Bi Yingjie said as he grabbed Yang Manman's arm and quickly left.
Yang Manman was stunned. The fifth princess? Could it be that Jiang Suining and the fifth princess had some kind of relationship?
She looked back at Jiang Suining in the cell, feeling puzzled.
Jiang Suining just smiled and said, "Miss Yang, please think about it carefully, but you may not have much time to hesitate."
Yang Manman frowned, but before she could say anything, Bi Yingjie had already pulled her away.
Fearing that they would run into the Fifth Princess head-on, Bi Yingjie did not take Yang Manman out of the prison immediately, but went around to an empty cell on the other side to temporarily avoid them.
Only after making sure that he had dodged it did Bi Yingjie breathe a sigh of relief and asked Yang Manman belatedly.
"What did Miss Jiang mean by that? What did she ask you to consider?"
"Nothing." Yang Manman shook her head. "It's just that we had some conflicts before, so she hopes that I can think about it and reconcile from now on."
Yang Manman made up a random excuse. At this moment, her mind was already on the question of what the relationship was between the Fifth Princess and Jiang Suining.
With a turn of her eyes, Yang Manman touched her waist and said to Bi Yingjie.
"Oh no! My jade pendant seems to be missing. Maybe I lost it when I ran too fast just now."
"It's just a jade pendant, it's no big deal."
"That jade pendant is very valuable, and it also has the mark of my Yangguo Mansion. If someone else picks it up, they will know that I came to this prison today."
Bi Yingjie frowned when he heard this, "Then I'll go look for it."
"No, didn't the Fifth Princess come? If she happens to see you while you're looking for the jade pendant, you might get into trouble." Yang Manman thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure whether it was just now or it fell on the carriage. Anyway, you're not afraid of being seen, how about I hide here first, and you go to the carriage for me. My carriage is parked in a secluded place at the corner of the street. If the jade pendant is inside the carriage, then there's no need to look for it."
Bi Yingjie was impatient, but facing Yang Manman's request, he nodded and agreed, and told Yang Manman not to move around and just wait around the empty cell. He would go and take a look and come back.
Yang Manman agreed immediately, but after Bi Yingjie left, she immediately walked back towards Jiang Suining's cell...
