"What's going on?" Qin Junyi was startled, glanced at the closed door next door, and asked in a low voice.

Feng Jingming said worriedly: "Early this morning, the Wuyi Guards came to arrest people and confiscate their property. The charges I heard about are embezzlement and bribery, and enriching one's own pockets."

At this time, there was a creaking sound, and Su Yunwan opened the door and came out, with a condensed expression: "Have you finished copying?"

"Husband... Madam!" Feng Jingming looked at the stunning woman in front of him and exclaimed.

Before Qin Junyi's wedding, he was ordered to investigate Su Yunwan and saw her portrait. Now Su Yunwan forgot to wear a mask because he was in a hurry to ask questions, and he recognized her at a glance.

Seeing Su Yunwan stunned, Feng Jingming looked at Qin Junyi in disbelief and said, "Are you... the master?"

Qin Junyi simply took off his mask and said, "It's me."

"Master, it's really you! Are your injuries all healed?" Feng Jingming couldn't believe his eyes.

Qin Junyi smiled and nodded.

Feng Jingming immediately knelt on the ground and cried with joy: "It's great, it's so great! The sky has eyes..."

Qin Junyi helped him up and warned, "This matter must be kept secret."

"Yes, I understand." Feng Jingming wiped away his tears and greeted Su Yunwan again.

Then, he remembered the business and said, "Madam, if you want to visit the prison, my subordinates will clear the way."

"Don't worry, I'm more concerned about the whereabouts of my mother's dowry than those people." Su Yunwan said.

Feng Jingming choked, thinking of the previous investigation results, and became convinced.

After the death of her own mother, Madam has become a transparent person in the house, and her biological father used marriage in exchange for benefits. Those nominal relatives really have nothing to care about.

Unlike others, he does not agree with the current concept that "parents have the power over their children's life and death."

More than ten years ago, he served as a secret sentry in the capital. One day, he came across a scene in which the Pei family was abusing the prince in a mountain temple outside the city. He cleverly rescued Qin Junyi at the risk of exposing his identity and violating heavy rules.

A small part of the reason why Qin Junyi took the risk to investigate his life experience was because Feng Jingming risked his life and said, "The princess may not be your biological mother."

More than two months ago, the Qin family's power was wiped out, and Feng Jingming volunteered to stay in the capital, risking his life to be his master's eyes and ears.

It was also he who discovered the prophecy in the palace and many of the imperial court's actions toward the northwest, and passed them on to Qin Junyi one by one.

"The Wu Yiwei has finished searching the mansion and affixed the seal. According to the procedure, the proceeds from the raid belong to the emperor and will be included in the inner treasury."

"Inner treasury?" Su Yunwan laughed and looked at Qin Junyi with shining eyes. His thoughts were self-evident.

Qin Junyi's eyebrows were gentle, and he gently took her hand: "I will stay with you until the end."

Their eyes met, each other's bright smiles reflected in their pupils.

Feng Jingming couldn't understand, but he felt as if something was being forced into his mouth, and an aunt's smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

At the same time, Tingwei Mansion Prison.

Su Shilang sat on the tattered straw mat, ignoring the screams of the female relatives across from him when he saw the insects and rats. He numbly glanced at the panicked faces, and the hatred in his heart was overwhelming: Prime Minister Xiao, you will not die well! ! !

He never expected that Prime Minister Xiao did not directly adopt what he said at yesterday's meeting to treat him as an abandoned son and cut off his tail to survive, but instead dug a bigger hole.

Just yesterday afternoon, he was summoned to the palace, and the emperor issued a secret order to him, ordering him to assassinate Qin Junyi through his father-in-law's identity.

And the best way to cover it is to exile the prisoners.

In other words, he won't have to wait long before his family is sentenced to be exiled to Youzhou.

Even the emperor had nothing to do with Qin Junyi, how could he easily complete the task?

He knew without asking that Prime Minister Xiao must have advised this damaging move.

It just left him with a glimmer of hope for a comeback, making him unable to risk his life and fight to the death.

He is so good at attacking people in the east and killing people with a borrowed knife!

Just when Su Shilang was getting more and more angry and his chest was heaving violently, two jailers came to interrogate him.

Perhaps they were ordered to do so, so the two men put away their arrogance and politely took Shi Lang Su to a clean prison.

As soon as he saw the old man in purple standing with his back to him inside, he immediately became furious and rushed forward with his fist raised.

However, his fist failed to land on the target, Prime Minister Xiao, and was stopped by the guards on the side.

Su Shilang was furious: "Old man! How dare you harm me! I will publicize all the dark things you have done!"

Prime Minister Xiao waved his hand, and Wugan and others all retreated.

Then, he said calmly: "Master Su, I am doing this for your own good!"

"You fart!"

"The true character of King Yili is that he will be held back even if he dies. Once he is caught, he will definitely betray you and me. By then, I have the power of the Dragon and the favor of the Holy One to protect me. What do you have? "

"I'm all for you!"

"As you say, haven't you benefited from me?" Prime Minister Xiao said clearly with a sarcastic look, "It's obvious that you are greedy for power and want to climb aboard this big ship of mine. Now the ship needs to reduce its burden when passing through dangerous shoals. , I did not directly kick you into the water and drown you, but left you a way out and allowed you to take this opportunity to escape from the treason case. I have done my best to benevolent and righteous."

"You...you..." Su Shilang was shocked and angry, unable to say anything to refute.

Prime Minister Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said with a sincere expression: "Okay, just focus on the tasks assigned by the Holy One. I promise you that as long as you return in triumph, you will be able to resume your post and even be promoted to the next level. layer."

After saying that, before Shi Lang Su could react, he left Shi Shiran calmly.

Shilang Su seemed to have been drained of his energy. He followed the jailer back to the cell with a sluggish look and let out a long sigh of fate.

Yesterday, when he was appointed to the assassination position, he regretted marrying his daughter to the Qin family and causing such disaster.

After returning to the mansion, all the family members who were supposed to have left the city were escorted back to the mansion. No one could escape, and they regretted trading their eldest daughter for benefits.

After listening to Prime Minister Xiao's words just now, he was glad that he had married his daughter in the first place, which enabled him to escape from the conspiracy case.

However, he was not willing to just become a chess piece to be manipulated at will, and secretly rebelled in his heart: Instead of challenging the hell difficulty to assassinate Qin Junyi, it was better to switch sides. As an in-law and father-in-law, he will definitely receive preferential treatment from the Qin family.

Su Yunwan didn't know the changing thoughts of her cheap father. She was drinking tea and chatting with Qin Junyi and Feng Jingming.
