After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

Lu Xiyue stayed in the dungeon for about a cup of tea, when the guards outside cautiously came to remind her.

Lu Xiyue didn't make things difficult for him, and after talking carefully with Xiao Yunheng, she left.

Here, the Secretary of the Criminal Ministry got a piece of news.

Yang Shan, the subordinate of the fifth prince, was not in office that day, and he found out after asking his colleagues that Yang Shan asked someone to ask for leave in the morning, saying that there was an urgent matter at home.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment immediately ordered Ning Yi's residence to look for it, but the house was empty, there was no one in sight, and Yang Shan himself, his wife and children disappeared.

"No, this matter has to be reported to His Majesty." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment did not expect Yang Shan to run away, and he thought that if he did not report the matter, he would not be able to bear it if there were any changes in the future.

Dali Temple Minister still worried: "If His Majesty asks, why didn't we report the clues when we got them, and what should we do? Besides, Yang Shan is a member of His Royal Highness, should we..."

Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment understood what he meant.

Talk to His Highness Fifth, he would probably do this for ordinary trivial matters, but this matter involves too much at the moment.

During the early court today, the ministers of the two sides of each station were arguing over this matter, which shows the great influence.

On one side is His Highness Third, and on the other is His Highness Fifth.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment must have the idea of ​​standing in line, and shook his head at Dali Siqing: "Your Majesty is so sensitive, if we have communicated with His Highness Fifth Highness in advance, if he knows, we will be in trouble."

Dali Siqing suddenly realized that this is indeed the case.

"Could it be that His Highness Fifth is really trying to frame His Highness Third?"

The two got up at the same time and went to the palace.

"Who knows, let's investigate the case honestly. There are many strange things about this matter. I'm afraid we won't be able to find out the truth until we find Yang Shan."

Fortunately, all parts of the capital are now blocked, and the city gates are closed, and they are not allowed to go out.

Unless Yang Shan has the ability to reach the sky, or has contacts who are not afraid of being dragged down by him, he can find a way to get him out.

Otherwise, he must still be in this capital.

The two came to the imperial study, and after a while, Zhou Wei led a few servants to pass the decree.

"Father let His Highness enter the palace at this time." Ji Yunyan glanced at the orange sky outside the hall, and thought of what happened a few days ago.

Today happened to be three days, and it should be the time when the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple explained the cause of the death of the female slave in Xiling.

The young man narrowed his eyes, keenly aware that something was wrong.

The servant smiled and said, "Your Highness, follow the slave into the palace, your Majesty must have been waiting for a long time."

"Okay." Ji Yunyan responded, and passed a glance to the confidant next to him calmly, the confidant understood, turned his head and retreated.

"Excuse me, father-in-law, I don't know why His Royal Highness entered the palace in the biography of the father and emperor?"

In the third prince's mansion, Ji Wuhen asked the servant in doubt.

The servant laughed and said perfunctorily: "The slave is just a messenger, the prince should not embarrass the slave."

Ji Wuhen pursed her lips, and the servant beside her promptly handed over a bag of silver.

The servant took it with a smile, put it neatly into the pocket of the wide cuff, and said in a low voice: "I heard that His Majesty is not in a good mood today, and even the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple have been blamed."

What he said was cryptic, but Ji Wuhen understood it.

It was because of Jiang Yingyue.

Yao Xinyu came over, slightly curled up her sleeves with her fingertips, and her smile didn't reach her eyes: "Since it was summoned by the emperor, the prince should go quickly, don't delay the time."

The eyes of the two met in the air, shining with an inexplicable light.

The servant didn't realize that he got a heavy bag of silver and cheerfully led Ji Wuhen into the palace.

Here, when the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple were leaving the palace, they met the sedan chairs of the two princes.

The two were bored in the carriage and decided to turn a blind eye.

Just kidding, I came out at this time, didn't I just tell these two troublesome things that they found it.

Of course, not going out doesn't mean the other party doesn't know.

In short, I can hide for a while.

The afterglow of the sunset in summer is still hot, people are sweating outside, and the clouds in the sky are getting redder and brighter, like a fire burning.

Lu Xiyue met Ji Yunyan's confidants, and went to meet Wei Ning, also known as Ning Yi, to know the ins and outs of the matter.

She was dressed in men's clothes, her thick willow-leaf eyebrows were hooked, and her face was sallow. She looked like a malnourished yellow-skinned boy. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell the resemblance at all.

Ning Yi looked away silently from the 'ugly boy' in front of him, squeezed his teacup and said, "Before I was busy investigating the case, I couldn't get away, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was watching closely, so I didn't have time to tell you about Yang Shan.

Lu Xiyue glanced at the bruises under his eyelids, didn't blame him, and asked instead: "That Yang Shan, did he really run away?"

She didn't have much contact with Ji Yunyan, and Xiao Yunheng was discussing with him about the court affairs, so she didn't know the arrangement of these personnel.

When Prince Ning's Mansion was defeated earlier, the military power was dispersed, part of it fell on Ji Wuhen's head, part was held in Emperor Hui's hands, and part was also handed over to people trusted by Emperor Hui. In the past few months, Ji Wuhen has been fined one after another, and the power and responsibility in his hands have been confiscated, and a small part of it has fallen into Ji Yunyan's hands.

This Yang Shan is a sixth-rank deputy lieutenant who was promoted during this period.

What happened to Jiang Yingyue's 'death', no one knows better than Lu Xiyue, how could it be related to Yang Shan.

Ning Yi also knew the reason, and it was precisely because he knew that he felt strange.

He is only 25 or [-] years old, has a wife and a child, and often goes in and out with Ji Yunyan on errands. Many people who have more contact with Xiao Yunheng know this sixth-rank lieutenant.

"It looks like the valuables in the house are all cleaned up, and the wife and son are not there."

At this point, Ning Yi paused: "However, I always feel that there is something strange."

"How to say?"

"His house is very tidy, a bit tidy, it's over." Ning Yi said his conjecture, he has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, from being slaughtered by others to being the head of the killer's sect, he has experienced countless times, so he has developed a sense of respect. He has a sensitive temperament in everything, and he will observe the surrounding environment in advance wherever he goes.

Yang Shan's home has never been a bit messy.

"A runaway, with his wife and children, no matter how calm he is, he would not clean the house before leaving. However, even the tables, chairs and benches in his house are neatly arranged."

Lu Xiyue listened quietly.

"If it is said that he loves cleanliness, that's not the case. There are some slightly messy footprints on the ground, which are not obvious, and the bedding and clothes left in the cabinet are all neat."

People are always nervous to pack things when they are running, and it is normal to mess up the closet when searching, after all, they are in a state of high tension.

"If it were you, pack up your things and prepare to run, would you fold the messed up clothes and mattresses before running away?"
