Colluding with Zhuang Xiaocheng? Sending secret signals?
Before Zhao Douan uttered these words, Zhang Changji's muscles tensed, but they relaxed after he spoke.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
He seemed to hear something ludicrous, infuriated to the point of aggression, and pointed at Zhao Douan:
"You say I colluded with that rebel Zhuang Xiaocheng?"
Zhao Douan's face was a picture of sincerity:
"It's just a suspicion, you can explain it in the Imperial Prison."
Zhang Changji laughed in anger, his whole body trembling. He abruptly turned his head, staring at Zhou Cang, and said:
"Households Commander Zhou! I don't know what nonsensical things he has told you, but this matter is definitely not related to me!
I admit to having a longstanding grudge against him and had a new resentment added a few days ago. Zhao Douan wants to retaliate against me, so he recklessly framed me. Brothers of the Imperial Court, do not be deceived by this man!"
